a friend told me that he wants my os x cd for my macbook pro to upgrade his imac.
The discs that come with your Mac are "machine specfic" and cannot be used on another Mac.

  • Some new purchased songs will not sync to IPhone.  Any ideas on resolving this?

    Some newly purchased songs will not sync to Iphone.  Any ideas to resolve this issue?

    Similar issue:
    I purchased several complete albums from the iTunes store on my laptop. Everything syncs fine with my iPhone except for two tracks from two seperate albums. I get the same error for both tracks: "iTunes could not copy ..... to the iPhone because the file could not be converted."
    From what I can tell both tracks are the same format as the other tracks on those albums - m4a (purchased AAC audio file) and wouldn't need converting (except that I have "convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC" checked... but the other tracks convert just fine). Files play just fine on the laptop.
    I checked that everything was purchased with the same user accounts. Not sure what to try next... any ideas?
    In case it of any use here are the tracks:
    Being Single Again (track 2 from Louis C.K.'s album Hilarious)
    Letters to Magazines (track 15 from Paul F. Tompkins' album Impersonal)
    Maybe the tracks are just so funny that the iPhone is cracking up too much to transfer them over.

  • Apple wireless keyboard no longer working with boot camp Windows 7

    Hi,
    I've had Boot Camp installed for about half a year now with no problems.
    Yesterday my wireless keyboard stopped working with it, it also appears that bluetooth isn't in the device manager or in the control panel,  it could no linger detect either my magic mouse or keyboard despite having fresh new batteries. They do however still work with my Mac OSX partition. It also lets me hold down alt to choose which OS to boot into on startup however when it gets to the log in screen for windows the keyboard stopped working.
    I've tried unpairing them in OSX then trying it in Windows but like I said bluethooth doesnt even appear to be there and it wont detect them. I've also tried reinstalling the apple drivers twice, still doesn't work.
    If it helps I have a early 2011 iMac 21.5inch and it's Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
    Thanks,
    Dan

    This may be just a Boot Camp issue, if no one here can help you may also want to post in the Boot Camp forum.

  • When I plug in my phone and/or iPad, the "devices" don't show up in iTunes. I'm trying to sync my music from my iPad to my phone and I've tried everything and nothing is happening.

    Right now, my iPad is plugged into my desktop PC via USB cable. Shouldn't there be a "Devices" tab in the top right corner next to "Library?" Either way, under File>Devices, I can't sync or do anything (see image). This is my first time using this computer because I managed to break my laptop over the weekend and just got my iPhone 4 today. My iPad, I got last Christmas and had connected to my laptop, and now, on the actual iPad, when I go to Settings>General>iTunes Wi-Fi Sync, I can't click "Sync Now" and it says "Sync will resume when "Insert Laptop Name Here" is available." Sooooo.... all I really wanna do is get my music and maybe some pictures from iPad onto my phone.
    *Note: I have my iCloud set up, and I guess it seems to be working fine, it just doesn't include music or photos. 

    Hello Isiahjammal,
    So after a backup your iPhone was acting like it was restored and now your PC won't even see it?  
    Please go through this article for steps to take for that.

    Of course step through it in order.
    Take care,

  • I am running 10.8 and setup airport extreme to run music from my imac to my receiver in the other room. When I open sound from system preferences, I don't see an external device to choose, other then internal speakers. Any ideas?

    Airport Express (the small Airport device, which is the only one with an audio connection) works through Airtunes, which only works with iTunes. The computer won't send ALL system sound to the Airport. If you actually want to send sound outside of iTunes, use Airfoil.

  • My ipad 2 (ios 6.1.2) continuously drops wifi and every few minutes, i receive tha black scrren with the apple... Any ideas on resolving?  It is VERY frustrating!   If it helps, wifi is connected to our secured home internet.

    Help......every few mins my wifi disconnects AND i rec the black display with the apple.... Any ideas to resolve?  I am connected to secured home internet and have not connected to cellular svc.

    Try #5.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Thanks for your reply. I looked in the Video app but it is empty. When I connect the iPad to iTunes on the iMac and look in  Apps > File Sharing > iPhoto, the video that I added is in iPhoto on the iPad but I cannot actually find the video in iPhoto on the iPad.

  • I have an iPhone 4 and since I updated to iOS6 I must hit the home button several times to return home or sometimes turn off and then back on. Any thoughts? Could this be related to running low on available storage?

    Hold the sleep/wake button and the home button until the phone shuts down and let it restart.

    As long as you use your computer like King Penguin stated for Report a Problem, you should be fine. If you can't get to your computer, are not using your computer, or your computer is not longer in the mix since you have been using your iPad, email iTunes support about the problem.

    That happened to my brother earlier. He went into Facebooand then into another app and the same thing happened. he ended up having to restore it. Mine stayed with the Apple logo for a bit but its back to normal after pressing the buttons a million times. I hope you get your problem sorted. Goodluck!
