I-Tunes attempts to install on a drive that no longer exists.

When I attempt to upgrade I-Tunes, I receive an error msg that states the drive specified is invalid. (this drive no longer exists on my system) There is no msg code number.
Any suggestions, anybody?
Thanks.

With one of those, there may still be registry entries on the PC pointing at the old (now non-existent) drive. The following InstallShield troubleshooting document is worth a shot:
Error 1327 Invalid Drive

Screen save is looking for a network drive that no longer exists

I am on OS X 10.10.3 (though this issue started with 10.10.2)
When I go to Desktop and ScreenSave preferences I get a message stating 'There was a problem connecting to the server "familyserver"'. This isn't a surprise since that machine is no longer on the network (it was a Windows home server). If I click OK the dialog reappears in a couple of seconds.
In the screen saver preview it says "loading photos.." and for the source it states: "Loading..."
However I can't change the source - the only option in the drop down is "loading"
Anyone know how to fix this so I can change the source to a local drive?
Cheers

How do I stop iSync from attempting to sync to a phone that no longer exists?

I recently graduated to an iPhone 4S. I use iTunes excusively for syncing to that phone.
My previous phone was a Sony Ericsson k850 (very similar to W850) and I was able to use iSync somewhat successfully.
Now, whenever I do a sync through iTunes for the 4S, iSync starts up and says it can't locate the k850.
If I go to the option and Uncheck "Enable Syncing on this computer" under iSync/Preferences/General, iTunes get all upset that synchronization has been turned off. I do not have the option to Remove the one andonly device - that choice is grayed out.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

I don't know if this helps much, but Address Book was basically the same application in a previous version of the Mac OS. Folks still seem to use the terms interchangably though. Similarly, Calendar used to be "iCal."
I believe syncing contacts with Google or iCloud is an either/or proposition - you can't do both. When you sync with either, a copy is saved to your Mac for faster access (like a web browser's cache). I believe there's still an option to save contacts exclusively to your Mac (HD), but I don't think it's either preferred or occurs by default if you have an account such as Gmail/google or iCloud already set up.
I've never played with preferences in Contacts (Address Book), but I do have both google and iCloud accounts associated with my Mac. Under System Preferences:Mail, Contacts & Calendars, you can specify what accounts do on your Mac. If you have multiple accounts set up, a list will appear on the left side. As you select each one, a list of check boxes appear to the right for each service you want to associate with that account. For example, I have an iCloud account for mail, calendars, contacts, and Safari (among others). I have a Gmail account for mail, although it gives me the option of using this account for calendars, etc. For Gmail, the only item I have checked is mail. It's never asked me if I wanted to sync my addresses with Google.
I hope this helps... at least a little. If nothing else, I hope I've solved the "Address Book" mystery ;-)

After installing iOS 6, YouTube app no longer exist?

After installing iOS 6, YouTube app no longer exist?

Correct, the YouTube app is not included in iOS 6. You will either need to try one of the YouTube apps from the store (there is an iPhone optimised app from google, and other people have said that they are working on an iPad version and there is Jasmine), or try accessing the mobile version via Safari : http://m.youtube.com (you can create a home screen shortcut for the site)

Why do I get and error when attempting to install the lighting calendar that it is not compatible with firefox 34.0.5..

I am using firefox 34.0.5, my thunderbird is 31.3.0 and I am attempting to install the lightning calendar. I checked the compatibility list. I downloaded the correct version of lightning and each time i attempt to install any version it fails and gives me the errors that this version is not compatible with firefox 34.0.5. I have tried five different versions of Lightning with the same results.

That's a Thunderbird email client extension.

HT1364 I used these instructions to move my i-tunes library to the external hard drive that two different home pc's access. My playlists do not show on both Is it possible to have one i-pod synch amid two different computers that use the same library?

I have a sole i-pod and two pc's, used the instructions for "iTunes for Windows: Moving your iTunes Media folder" in the hope that I could synch my one i-pod between two different computers that are sharing the same library. Is it possible to have two seperate computers that only share an external hard drive (one wireless, one not) ? When I am looking at a shared library should it appear the same on both machines (ie: playlists/ purchased list etc)?

If it is moved correctly, playlists will display on both computers and it should be possible.
Close iTunes.
Hold <SHIFT> and launch iTunes.
When prompted to create a new or open an existing iTunes library point iTunes to the iTunesLibrary.itl file on the external drive.
The entire library should now show up with all playlists and playcounts.
Do this on both computers.
Keep in mind that only one computer can access iTunes at a time, otherwise errors will occur when each computer attempts to write to or update the iTunesLibrary.itl file.
Syncing may work seemlessly with both computers, but honestly syncing is designed to work with one and only one computer.

I'm trying to download updates to iTunes but it's downloading to an external drive that doesn't exist - how do I change the file download path?

error message says "Invalid Drive"

Perhaps try the following user tip with that one:
"Invalid Drive X:\" install errors

My finder window is showing an external drive that doesn't exist.

It is empty, but I can't eject it because it says it's in use, even though I have no applications open or other drives plugged in. Does anyone know what this is and how I can get rid of it? Thanks.

How do I recover files from HP Connected Drive that no longer show up after a factory reset?

I am trying to recover files that were once visible in HP Connected Drive, after completing a factory reset. The files that I need are no longer showing up. How can I get them back?

Try using a data recovery product such as the ones listed here. Don't erase the drive or write anything else to it until the files are recovered or you choose not to recover them.

I have a new computer, many of my old tunes and videos were attached to e-mail that no longer exists..can't access them anymore, what can i do?

I recently bought a new computer, when i set up itunes I found that I no longer had access to many of my tunes and videos as they were for an e-mail account which I no longer have or know the password to...is there a solution to restoring access to itmes that I previsouly purchased under a dead account?

iTunes purchases are permanently tied to the ID they were purchased with.
Contact iTunes Customer Support if you have forgotten the password to that account and they can assist you.

I installed lion and iDVD is not longer exist?

I install a full version of Lion from the Thumb, and this erase all Mac OS X ; and I have to buy, again iPhoto, iMovie,Keynote but I no able to find iDVD to burn the movies i make like before when I have the all version.

The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That worked for some, but is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between using iCloud and burning DVDs:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast.

My intel iMac keeps searching for a drive that doesn't exist.

My intel iMac opens a window saying it cannot find a drive with the IP address of 10.0.1.196 which, ot the best of my knowledge doesn't exist. The address is always the same, even after reprovisioning our entire system from modem to all the computers we have. The window will come up after a restart but before I have our server selected, but it will also pop up at almost any time. When it does, after clicking OK, it will reappear every few seconds for 5-10 times then stop. Very aggrevating because the window puts whatever I am doing in the background and I must click the OK and close the window before proceding with my work. Any way to stop this?

I am not sure that I got the wireless instructions correct. I opened the window to connect to a wireless network and instead of typing in a name I just typed in a dash. This caused my Airport icon to be grayed out. I then rejoined our office network by turning off and then restarting Airport.
For the ethernet connection, I did as instructed and then tested by turning off the Airport on the computer so I was only connected using ethernet.
Neither of these worked and the computer still searches for the same IP address.

ITunes looking for a drive that doesn't exist

Each time I boot up my PC I receive a box stating iTunes-import.exe - No Disk. It then asks me to insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk4\DR4. Is there a way to stop iTunes looking for this non-exixtant drive when it starts up, or am I going to have to uninstall iTunes?

IPhoto 6 and iTunes 7 on a hard drive that is failing! Please help

On my iBook G4 I have a hard drive that no longer mounts after an unsuccessful attempt to update to Leopard. What I need to know is if I am able to extract any data from the drive, what files do I need to save my iPhotos an iTunes data. Everything else on the drive is replaceable. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

For iPhoto you want the iPhoto Library which by default is in the pictures folder - you want to drag it as a single entity to a new drive (do not move it in pieces)

May I also take this opportunity to suggest that you must start regular backups - this will happen again

How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; I also have Microsoft Word installed on the Mac as well.

How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; none of the options I choose work. I also have Microsoft Office (with Word) installed on the Mac as well.

Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.
