I can't save files to my desktop, but I can save anywhere else. How do I fix this?

I can't save files to my desktop. I have no problem saving the same file anywhere else. WHen I try through excel, for example, it tells me the file is read only. When I try to save it as a different file name, a pop up tells me I do not have permission to save to the desktop. The same issue occurs when I attempt to take a screen shot (default save to desktop)

Click on it, choose Get Info from the File menu, give yourself Read & Write access under Sharing and Permissions or Ownership and Permissions, and ensure it's not locked.

HT2250 I have Bonjour files on my computer, but iTunes will not recognize it, how do I fix this?

I have Bonjour files on my computer, but when I open iTunes it says that I don't. Somehow the services are turned off, but I can't just turn on a file. How do I turn it back on?

Hello th3maj0r,
I was thinking that it might be a good idea to remove iTunes and all of its components including Bonjour and re installing them.
Depending on the version of your OS:

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Our version of ID saves all files with the time/date of December 31, 1999. How do we fix this?

Our version of ID saves all files with the time/date of December 31, 1999. How do we fix this?

That's interesting. The file date should match the system date. What's the system date? What version of InDesign? What operating system?

I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this?

I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this? I even tried deleting iMovie, bought a new copy and installed it, but the folder "iPhoto Videos" is still there and I can't get new clips loaded to iMovie, especially where I want them. Please help.

The iPhoto Videos do occasionally have problems. I've seen a lot of people write messages to this Discussion group describing similar problems. The only thing that seems to get around this problem is to pull the video clips out of iPhoto then import them directly into iMovie. Once the troubles with iPhoto Videos starts, I haven't yet seen anyone write back with something that they did to fix it.
The most difficult part of doing this is the movies in iPhoto might be a little difficult to track down. But you can create a smart alum that does that for you. Go to iPhoto > File Menu > New Smart Album:
Set the first pulldown menu to keyword, second to contains, then in the last box type Movie with a capital 'M'. Then click OK. This smart album more or less does as search of the whole iPhoto Library and only displays items that match your search tearm of "Movie" exactly. In that smart album then you can find the original Movies you want to move out of iPhoto and into iMovie, <CTRL> click on the Movie clip, then choose Reveal in Finder. That will jump you out of iPhoto temporarily and into the iPhoto Library folder. From there you can move that movie file to the desktop. Move all the clips you want, once they're all collected up go to iMovie and go to the File Menu > Import Files. Then point it to the desktop where you moved your video clips.
This will put all those videos into an Event folder in iMovie and bypass iPhoto Videos altogether.

Sorry, your only alternative is to take it in for repair. While on your way stop at a office supply store and look into a UPS. if you don't want to go to the Apple Store you can use an AASP, you can locate one in your area by clicking AASP Locator.

Oops, my bad. The repair disk permissions in Disk Utility doesn't actually fix the User home folders. To do that boot into the recovery partition and when the recovery desktop appears select Utilities -> Terminal. Enter “resetpassword” and press return - don't worry you're not actually going to reset your password!
Ensure that your username is selected from the “Select user account” menu, then under “Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs” click the “Reset” button.
Click on the Apple menu and restart your computer.

HT3529 I have upgraded to iOS7 and now can not get my iMessage to activate. It will not accept my Apple ID and I have tried a new password and restarting my phone but it will not activate. How do I fix this?

I can not use iMessage or blue tooth since the upgrade to iOS7. My Apple ID is not being accepted, even with a restart and a password change. I am not receiving texts from others who are sending as an iMessage. How do I fix this?

IF your imessage is saying waiting for activation then do this:
backup your phone to itunes or icloud.
then on your phone go to settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings - this will wipe your phone clean.
once the process is done, you can restore from the backup you made, then you should be able to activate your imessage.

HT1751 Consolidating ITunes Library Failed - message received: "Copying files failed. The file name was invalid or too long" . Please help - how to i fix this issue?

I consulted your website for details on how to back up my ITunes Library on my PC-found the article very helpful-I reached step 7 - clicked ok and the following message came up: "Copying files failed. The file name was invalid or too long." Please can you help and advise what I should do or how to fix this issue. My pc operating system is Windows 7 Home Basic

You can select a group of tracks and consolidate from the right-click context menu. You coud try consolidating in batches, say all songs by artists beginning with A, then B, etc, then the other media types, until you can isolate a problem track and then try moving that by hand and fixing the broken link.
I also have two scripts that could help you, Unconsolidated and ConsolidateByMoving. The first can make a playlist of all unconsolidated tracks, the second can consolidate a selection of tracks by moving them instead of copying.
