Yes that makes sense, however have you updated it at My Apple ID before trying to change it in your system preferences > iCloud settings, you must do that first.

    First it would be helpful to get more info. Do you keep your music in the default location inside the iTunes folder? Do you use iTunes to keep it organized? Do you have any type of backup of either the iTunes Library files or your entire Music folder? Before reinstalling anything, check that your actual music files are still there. Go to your_homefolder/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music and I am pretty sure that all your files are still there. iTunes keeps its library file on the root level of the iTunes folder. It is either corrupted or you somehow created a new one which subsequently is empty. Hold down the option while you click on iTunes, then choose "existing library" and browse to your iTunes folder and select the iTunes Library file and see what happens. Report back if your iTunes Library file is corrupt.

  • Every time I start Firefox in an unpriveleged login I get an error box saying that an update installation has failed, even when it's up to date.

    Firefox 19.0.2; on Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3 build 2600.xpxp_sp3_gdr_130105-0416.
    I normally work using minimal privileges - so the user from which I mostly run Firefox doesn't have sufficient privilege to install a Firefox update. Now and again I log in as a privileged user, start firefox, and grab the latest version. However it happens quite frequently that Firefox goes into a mode where on Firefox startup I get an error window saying that it failed to install the update. When that window is dismissed, Firefox starts up and of course it's the latest version. Nothing I have tried appears to have any effect on this, but always after some period of time - in which I will have logged in and out a few times and probably started and stopped Firefox dozens of times - for no reason that I can discern it stops producing this error message and begins to start up without the error. This lasts a few days, and then it reverts to getting the error message.
    In case it's useful to anyone, the error window is labelled
    Dh'fhàillig ùrachadh a' bhathar-bhuig
    which translates roughly to "The software's update failed"
    and the text in the window is
    Cha do ghabh an t-ùrachadh a stàladh. Dèan cinnteach nach eil lethbhreac eile de Firefox a' dol air a' choimpiutair agad is ath-thòisich Firefox an uairsin is feuch ris a-rithist.
    which is roughly "The update couldn't be installed. Make certain no other copy of Firefox is running on your computer and then restart Firefox and try again".
    I have of course done what the window tells me; it has no effect (if it had that would mean the OS security was broken) which is a good thing but suggests that the message in the window is a bad thing. I also tried updateing from the Firefox help menu (and was relieved to see that didn't work). Using a priileged user to install the update gives the unprivileged user the latest version, but doesn't ,ake the startup message go away.
    I have a suspicion that what is happening is that Firefox running in unprivileged mode finds a security update, downloads it, and fails to install it, instead of recognising that it's running in unprivileged mode and just warning the user than an update is available; once it has done that the update remains downloaded in the unprivileged user's space, and even when the update is installed by the privileged user so that all users now have the updated version Firefox tries to install it despite its being already installed whenever the unprivileged user starts it up. If so, that would be a rather unpleasant problem, since it would tend to encourage people always to login with sysadmin privileges.

    hello, when this is happening after you've already updated firefox with your admin account, try to delete the ''updates'' folder and ''active-update.xml & updates.xml'' within the %localappdata% folder of your restricted account like it is described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_not_working_properly

  • When I view email on my iPad, I get an error message saying "unable to process your request" . How do I correct this?

    When I access my iPad email, I get an error message saying "unable to process your request"  How do I correct this?

    Start with the basics. Force close mail and reset your iPad.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't help, you might want to consider resetting your router by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds. That can help at times even if all of your other devices are connecting to the Internet. I suggest this, because the message that you are getting may be due to a bad connection to the Internet.

  • I've just downloaded itunes on a new computer, and I'm downloading music from the cloud, but it seems to stick on certain songs and won't download them at all, stopping at a certain point. How do I get round this?

    Hi all,
    I've just downloaded itunes onto a new computer, and I'm currently downloading previously owned music from the cloud. However, it keeps sticking on various songs - it will get part of the way through and just stop, this seems to happen to about 1 in 10 songs. How do I get round this?
    Also, once I've finished dowloading from the cloud, how do I get my library to display only the songs I've downloaded, and not all the other ones that I don't want anymore?
    Cheers, Alex

    On the new laptop, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.

  • Which MacPro doesn't work with Windows 7

    One question for curiosity and one I need to act on:
    I've got a MacPro 2x2.66 GHz Intel Xeon with 5GB Ram. Is there a way for me to tell whether I can run Windows7 in a BootCamp partiton? The documentation seems to indicate that "mid 2006" version of my machine will not run Windows 7 for some reason I don't understand.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3986
    Mac Pro (Mid 2006, Intel Xeon Dual-core 2.66GHz or 3GHz)
    Also, I've got an existing XP BootCamp install on one of my 500 GB hard drives on my MacPro desktop which I am accessing from the other 500 GB hard drive running OSX. I am using Parallels to do this but will boot directly into XP if the software requires it for performance.
    Can anyone help me figure out if I should do a Windows 7 partition on my new MacBookPro or whether I should stick with Windows XP for this partition? I also plan on accessing it via Parallels on this machine and then booting directly into the Windows partition if the need arises. I believe I will be storing all my files on the OSX "side" of the hard drive.
    I guess if I do the XP install I only have to keep track of one set of drivers? Any reason to do Windows 7 on the Laptop? Any suggestions on minimum size?
    Thanks,
    Jon

    I guess I can do a Win7 install on the new MacBookPro but my MacPro circa 2007 is considered a "MacPro circa 2006" and won't do what I reasonably could have expected when I bought this machine in 2007 - which is run windows software with some reasonable level of similarity to any other computer that runs windows software...

  • After updating Firefox to 10.0.2, when I click on a link in an email, I get an error box saying "There was a problem sending a command to the program".

    I have not changed/updated my mail client, Windows Live Mail, so I assume the problem is with the updated Firefox.

  • Trying to download Elements on my new Retina display IMAC but I get an error box saying the certificate doesn't match.

    I trying to download the trial for Elements but a dialogue box popped up and said the certificates don't match. What does that mean? Does it suggest that if I bought Elements that I couldn't download it? I just got a new Retina display iMAC and I'm trying to transfer the software but my older version of Elements 10 wouldn't install. So I thought maybe time to upgrade to 13 but I can't even download the trial. Any suggestions?

    It means OS X doesn't like the security certificate for the page. You can try downloading from here as an alternative:

    This is an adobe-approved site, but you must follow the Very Important Instructions exactly, even when they don't seem to make sense.
