Can't get ipod to work properly

I registered my ipod on MY computer, but had my SIL (son in law) help me on HIS computer, which has WIFI. (He set mine up to use wifi) Now my computer won't recognise my ipod using the connector cable, says wifi is not available. I have turned wifi off on the ipod, but it still won't work on MY computer. First I could hear the music I downloaded, but now it just shows a list what I have, opens the artist I select, then closes again. No music.
I downloaded a couple of free apps yesterday, and they play ok, but still no music.
Can I uninstall everything and start again? If I am registered, is this ok, or do I have to re-register??
It also shows that I have 11 updates for apps, but I don't have these apps on my ipod, they were on his.... How do I get rid of that??
Thanks,
NannyMoo

I did the whole restore bit, and it did get rid of the 11 upgrades listed on the app store icon. And it did use MY computer, so that is ok now. BUT, the tunes that I have purchased, (and a couple of apps) have not downloaded on to the ipod. In the ITunes Store, under Playlist, I have created two folders for different types of music. How do I get it to download into the specific folder there?
It also previously showed two connections under the Store list, one for purchased music and apps, and another for music and apps listed under my Ipod name. I deleted that one, and all the music is still listed, so presume this is ok.
Under FILE, the 'sync Ipod' is unhighlighted, as is the 'how to transfer from ITunes to Ipod'. I presume that is where my downloading problem lies, but how to fix it?
Thanks in anticipation,
NannyMoo

I purchased a MyBook Studio 4gb external hard drive. I can't get it to work properly. WD have assessed it and say its fine and that the problem is with Apple?

Hello EucaBlue!
So in Disk Utility, with the external harddrive selected, go to the Partition tab, and then under "Partition Layout:" select 1 Partition.
After than, verify that it is formatting the drive as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled) under "Partition Information"
Also verify that it's using using the GUID Partition Map under the Options button at the lower left of this window.
Then click apply and confirm that you want to format the drive. It will ask you if you're sure, and probably for an Administrator password.
Once your harddrive is formatted properly, you should be able to use Time Machine, or any other Mac backup software.
Happy tinkering!

Yes, if you purchased it in an Apple store, they should be able to assist you. Bring your MBP with you as well as the Drive.

IMovie wii no longer share with iDVD. I just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 and now I can't get iDVD to work properly. Any thoughts?

iMovie wii no longer share with iDVD. I just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 and now I can't get iDVD to work properly. Any thoughts? This is what comes up.....

iDVD does work with Yosemite although, as Kappy pointed out unsupported for 2 years, so try this basic troubleshooting fix:
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents of IDVD'S cache folder: User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD.
3 - launch IDVD and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you're running Mavericks or Yosemite go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
If iDVD crashes again post the first 50 lines of the crash report. Don't post a screenshot but copy and paste the actual text.
To get a movie from iMovie to iDVD it should be exported out of iMovie as 480p and added manually to iDVD.

I can't get iTunes to work properly on Windows 8

I can't get iTunes to work properly on Windows 8. I tried everything and iTunes is NOT compatible with Windows 8. There is either an iTunes issue or a Microsoft issue.

I finally got it to work right. Some files and folders (iTunes video files, etc) were referenced to my iTunes account, I copied from my backup (external) Hard Drive to my system Hard Drive. The only thing that can keep me from accessing my wish list for some time is a very heavy Internet traffic via iTunes players to iTunes Store. So everything is now NORMAL.

I am using Hover for my email address and I can not get it to work properly

I've changed the MX record to 10mx.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com (Hover's recomendation) but it's still not working.
How Can I get this to work properly?
Thanks for the help!

Hey KoobeP,
I have performed a DNS look-up on the domain stormbluedesign.com and can see that the MX record you have added exists within our DNS: http://screencastmb.worldsecuresystems.com/img/2013-04-24_0949.png. However, this MX record is not pointing to any IP address which leads me to believe the MX record you added is incorrect.
I believe the MX record you need to add is mx.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com, with a priority of 10. Not 10mx.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com. But as always, contact your mail service provider for confirmation on the records they require you to add.

Can't get X to work properly (ATI AIW 9800)

Hello,
I have a few problems. My first problem is this. The dpi was messed up when i first install, so i thought no big deal, I'll just go and configure the defaultserverargs setting in the startx script to "-dpi 75". This does not seem to work. Secondly,I can't get gnome to work as my default window manager. I put this line in my .xinitrc file in my home directory:
exec gnome-session
I also tried this:
exec /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-session
My last problem is that when i try to install the ati fglrx drivers with the stock kernel arch package but whenever the fglrx module is called, it says that the module doesn't exist. One thing i might mension which might be of importance is that i compiled a custom kernel during install without SMP and preemtivity so i could use my rt2500 wireless card. Thanks in advance for the help
cheers,
-Lukas

sinisterguy: You're going to need to build your own kernel module, afaik you can't just symlink a module built for another kernel and expect it to work.
As root, run
abs
Once that's done (it'll check out a bunch of stuff from cvs), change to your normal user and either make a directory for the new package, or cd to some temp directory, then:
cp /var/abs/extra/modules/ati-drivers-arch/* .
vim PKGBUILD
then make the following changes:
pkgname=ati-drivers-arch
to
pkgname=ati-drivers-custom
(or whatever you want to call the package)
depends=('ati-drivers' 'kernel26')
to
depends=('ati-drivers')
source=(https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/fglrx_6_8_0-$pkgver-1.i386.rpm fireglcontrol.desktop)
to
source=(http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/fglrx_6_8_0-$pkgver-1.i386.rpm fireglcontrol.desktop)
(for some reason I can never get the source from the https address through makepkg.)
and
_kernel=2.6.15-ARCH
to
_kernel=`uname -r`
Save and quit, then run
makepkg
- this'll make you a brand new kernel module package that you can install with
pacman -A ati-drivers-custom-8.22.5-2.pkg.tar.gz
You'll need to update this package every update to the ati-drivers in the same way you originally built it.
If you need more information, ABS is a good place to look, as well as man makepkg.

I can't get anything to work properly in Beta 4.0.3 help?

Tabs are not working properly, when I open a Tab up I get blank screen and when I select a site from Bookmarks it loads on the first tab instead of the tab I opened up. and when I click the X to close the Tabs I opened it won't close. and everything else ceases to work. I can't open Feedback to submit feedback about this bug, nor can I access Add-Ons to see whats Enabled and what's not.
I should of stuck with Beta 4.0.2 instead of upgrading to Beta 4.0.3 because everything was working fine then until this new update destroyed Firefox. I'm going to have to use another browser until this is fixed, because I can't use a browser like this. There's just too many bugs now. :/

That could be an add-on that is causing the problem, there were some changes to Firefox between beta 2 and 3 that would break some add-ons.
Start Firefox in [[safe mode]], in the dialog that pops up select the option to "Disable all add-ons" then click on "Make Changes and Restart".
Then in normal mode you should be able to access the add-ons manager and you can then check for updates to the add-ons. You can also re-enable them one at a time, re-starting Firefox each time to identify the add-on(s) that are not working. Also see the [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article.

Can't get netcfg to work properly

I'm currently trying to setup my netcfg. I can connect wirelessly without any problems by the following process:

dhcpcd wlan0
However, when I follow the guides on wiki to get it started up, I get the following errors when i use the

If you truly must use wpa-config, make sure there are no directives in the config file outside your network block. Netcfg cannot use wpa_supplicant files that do, and it prints a similar error message if I remember correctly. Also, you may still need to specify your ESSID in the profile, as stated above.
But! Consider just using "SECURITY='wpa'" or "SECURITY='wpa-configsection'" instead of "SECURITY='wpa-config'" Netcfg will generate a wpa_supplicant config file and use wpa_supplicant to manage the connection. Netcfg comes with example syntax for it, and it's much simpler.

Can't get HAL to work properly

Hello everybody! This is the first distro I've ever tried which gives you substantial control over the installation process, and I like that a lot, but there are some things I probably didn't manage to do well. One of those is getting HAL to work as I tell it to via policies. I need for it to recognize my italian keyboard layout and automount ntfs partitions. I followed the instructions on the wiki, but I probably messed up, so can somebody briefly sum up the steps I need to make HAL do what I need?

Just correcting this so that any beginners who stumble on this wont get confused/misguided
Neo_The_User wrote:
i love being in-depth explaining everything so i'm sorry if i couldn't make it as breif as you wanted it to be
as root or sudo:
pacman -Syy
pacman -Syu
pacman -Sy hal dbus fam
nano /etc/rc.conf
In DAEMONS it should look like this (sort of:)
DAEMONS=(!syslog-ng !netfs !crond network fam hal dbus alsa gdm)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng crond network fam dbus hal alsa )
but basically it depends on what services you want to run.
starting gdm in inittab is better.
Now you can turn hal on 2 different ways. Reboot or just turn on. To turn on without reboot:
/etc/hal restart
/etc/rc.d/hal start
(You should probably turn on dbus too)
/etc/dbus restart
(And fam)
/etc/fam restart
everything is /etc/rc.d/daemonname start
Now after you do all that do this as root (log in AS root because it will be easier for me to tell you what exactly you need to do)
Xorg -configure
Now I forget off the top of my head what the exact location is so if it says No such file or directory in the first command, do the second one:
cp -L -vi /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
No luck? Try this:
cp -L -vi /home/root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
There is no /home/root
Now you can install gdm and X and all that:
pacman -Sy gdm
Replace gnome with lxde or xfce4 or whatever
pacman -Sy gnome
Now fonts:
pacman -Sy ttf-bitstream-vera ttf-dejavu ttf-ms-fonts ttf-liberation
Turn on ntfs in DAEMONS though as I have mine off. Take the exclamation point out.
Hope that works!
I hope you meant netfs or nfsd here. ntfs-3g doesn't need a daemon AFAIK

Can't get Firefox to work properly behind corporate proxy

I am forced to use Firefox behind our corporate proxy and have to continually make exceptions just to get to sites, but even this doesn't always work. I don't know much about certificates, but I know certificates are issued by our organization for each user and device. I've tried exporting the personal certificate from IE and importing it into Firefox without success (couldn't export certificate completely and in correct format for Firefox) and am not sure if I'm even taking the right approach. IE is our only approved browser and I'm sure part of the reason is that proxy settings can be forced via group policy. I've tried adding a certificate exception to Firefox for our proxy, but Firefox is "Unable to obtain identification for this site". Is there any way to get Firefox to function correctly in this environment or somehow get Firefox to work through IE?

I think most proxies work the same way: they generate a fake certificate for the website and present that to your browser so they can decrypt and inspect the traffic between you and the site. It's a hassle having to make exceptions for the individual fake certificates -- it's more efficient to recognize the certificate the proxy uses to ''sign'' the fake certificates as a valid certificate authority.
The trick is identifying that certificate. It might be easiest to do from IE or Chrome, since both use the Windows certificate store (Firefox uses its own). By inspecting the certificate for a secure site and the certificate used to sign it, you may be able to identify and export that certificate (DER or .cer format).
In Firefox, you would import that into the Authorities section of the Certificates dialog:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Certificates mini-tab > "View Certificates" button > Authorities mini-tab > "Import..." button
Of course, it probably is safest to verify with your IT that you've found and exported the correct certificate before importing it into Firefox.

Can't get Apple TV working properly (no airplay)

I have cable broadband via Ethernet into my iMac. I've set up wifi sending out from the iMac and have iPad, iPhone and now apple tv all online via wifi. Seems fine. I can see and play stuff from my iMac on Apple tv (and all the rest seems fine YouTube, iTunes store etc). I am definitely all up to date with software. Now heres the prob. I can't get airplay working and (unrelated but similarly) my remote app (on iPhone) can't find apple tv anymore?! I've restarted everything, no luck. So took apple tv to work and got everything working fine. Airplay worked, remote app worked. So WHAT is the problem at home? Why can't I get airplay working at home? What is wrong with my network and wifi etc? There are no firewalls.

You will need to see what the problem is with your local network. More details would help. Try calling apple support, ISP etc. as well

I just bought a 4th gen 8GB iPod touch ,won't connect to iTunes/iStore I've been told by support that I have to have a WiFi network. We travel in an RV, never near a WiFi network.I have a USB Telstra mobile b'band dongle. How can I get iPod to work

th gen. 8GB iPod Touch. It won't connect to iStore. Support say it has to have access to a WiFi network. We travel a lot in an RV and rarely have access to WiFi. I connect the iPod to a laptop which has a Telstra USB mobile broadband dongle. I explained this in detail and was told by the sales assistant that the iPod would work on this setup. It doesn't. Has anyone got around this problem?

Go back to the sales assistant and gently place the iPod where... well, you get the idea.

Can't get iCloud to work properly from new MBP.

I recently bought a new MBP and gave my old one to my wife. I deleted the calendar and contact info from my old MBP since she didn't need it. Only I didn't realize that it would also delete all the information from my new MBP that I had initialized from a Time Machine back-up.
But now, I can't get thinks back to normal. I had recently upgraded my old MBP to Mavericks, so I posted my questions there on the assumption that the problem was with Mavericks. I now think the problem is with iCloud, so I'm posting here as well.
Here's my tale of woe ...
First, I tried restoring my back-ups, but the restored info would literally disappear with 2-3 seconds of being reloaded. I sat there and watched my contacts appear, then disappear. Three times. The Mavericks folks made some suggestions about deleting files from the Application Support Folder. No help. Same results. Watched my contacts load and then disappear 3 more times.
So I decided to start more-or-less from scratch. I deleted my iCloud account from both my MBP and my iPad. I then reloaded my calendar and my contacts from the back-ups on my MBP. Everything fine so far. All calendar items are there. All contacts are there.
I re-added the iCloud account on my MBP. Still okay. Contacts and calendar info still there. However, System Preferences would not allow me to check the box next to "calendar." It said "setting up" then stopped and unchecked the Calendar box. I am also unable to enable the iCloud account within Calendar preferences.
I re-added my account on my iPad. No calendar info, but that didn't surprise me because the calendar wouldn't connect from my Mac.
But the Contacts on the iPad included ONLY those contacts that I had added from the previous recipients window after my last back-up. None of the contacts that had come from my previous back-up were there even though they were on my MBP. So I tried unchecking the box in System Preferences. All of my contacts disappeared from my MBP. None disappeared from my iPad.
So at this point, my iPad becomes a games machine. I can't get my contacts to it. I can't my calendar to it. Email is no good without my contacts.

The iCloud Calendar and Time Machine don't play nice together. If you accidentally delete your calendars, they are deleted on iCloud: you restore the cached versions from TM, and iCloud promptly brings them up to date by deleting them again.
However it is possible to restore from Time Machine (or another backup system if it's included your calendars) by following the following steps:
Turn off your internet connection. Make sure that it really is completely off.
Restore from Time Machine or your backup. This should restore your calendars to list under your iCloud username.
Now carry out this process with each calendar:
Select a calendar listed under your iCloud login name.
From the File menu choose Export...>Export. An .ics file will be saved at your designated destination.
Create a new calendar with the same name as the one you've just exported from, choosing 'On My Mac'.
From the File menu choose Import... Select the .ics file and choose to import it into the calendar you just created (make sure you don't import it into the iCloud version).
Now your calendars are listed under 'On My Mac' as well as under your iCloud login name.
Reconnect to the internet. Your iCloud calendars will disappear as before. Now carry out the following process with each of the 'On My Mac' calendars:
Select your 'On My Mac' calendar. From the File menu choose 'Export...' then 'Export...'; from the sub-menu. This will create an .ics file at the location chosen in the Export dialog.
From the File menu choose 'New Calendar' then your iCloud login name in the sub menu.
A new calendar called 'Untitled' will appear in your sidebar under your iCloud login name. Change its name to that of the calendar you exported.
From the File menu choose 'Import...' then 'Import...' from the sub-menu. A navigation pane will open: navigate to and choose your exported .ics file.
iCal will ask you where to import this to. Click the drop-down menu and select the iCloud version of your calendar (make sure not to choose the 'On My Mac' version). Import.
Your calendar contents will appear in the iCloud version of the calendar but this may take some time. You need to leave iCal running until the rotating icon at the top of the sidebar disappears.
You can now delete the 'On My Mac' version of the calendar (control-click it in the sidebar list and choose 'Delete').
You should back up your calendars periodically by exporting the .ics files as in step 1 above and keeping them safely.
