Problems with iTunes after installing an SSD/HDD on my Macbook Pro

Hello everybody,
I decided to install a SSD on my Macbook Pro, replacing the optical drive with it, then I set up the new disk to be the boot drive and left the HDD on its place to store media and stuff.
Obviously, my library now is on the HDD, but when I try to delete a file via iTunes I get a partial elimination, or no elimination at all. The songs remain on their place on iTunes. I have no idea why. My only theory is related to the TRIM option: I have a small application that enabled it on both drives, so maybe it may be a pain for the HDD?
Any help?
Thanks!

First, spinning hard drives don't use TRIM, so you can't enable it on your HD, only your SSD.
Is your SSD your boot drive? Where do you have your iTunes media stored? There's a right way and a wrong way to change the location of the media - see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449.
Good luck,
Clinton

HT1589 problems with itunes after updating..can't locate some of my songs..some have an exclamation point beside them how do i get these songs back in my itunes

I'm having problems with itunes after updating. I've lost all my playlists,,finally played around with it and got the songs back but some have an exclamation point beside them and can't be located. they are songs i've purchased. I'm not very computer literate so this is a major problem. I have spent hours with this. I just want all my songs to play even though I'm not happy that I have to recreate my playlists. It would be so much easier if I knew and understood how to correct this. Has anyone else had this problem and if so..is there an easy way to correct it?

Not sure how this is an ipod touch question.
Perhaps you should post in the itunes forum.

I have a problem with my motherboard and my battery of my 2010 macbook pro 13". It was just serviced with a new screen, keyboard, and logic board.

I have a problem with my motherboard and my battery of my 2010 macbook pro 13". It was just serviced with a new screen, keyboard, and logic board. How much will a new battery and motherboard cost and would it be worth it or should I just get a new computer. It was about 300 dollars to get it serviced last week. if it adds up to much past 600 dollars I will just get a new one. THANKS FOR ANY HELP!
P.S During classes today it began beeping in my bag. Like three kind of long steady beeps then a short pause, and when I opened it I couldn't see anything but it was on so I turned it off and back on.

Depends on what options your Apple store offers - if they can do a depot repair (where they send it out), that's around $300 for all parts & labor.
If the store doesn't have that option, a logicboard is around $600, battery $80-$100, from what I've seen.
If they JUST replaced the logicboard, you absolutely should NOT have to pay for another replacement - the replacement is covered by a warranty. If they want you to pay for it, make sure you have a copy of the receipt for the work that was recently completed so you can show it to them. They have no reason to charge you for another logicboard.

Has anyone experienced problems with Outlook after installing Mavericks?

Has anyone else experienced problems using Microsoft Outlook after installing Mavericks? The computer seems to want to continue reloading emails.

1. Apple has removed sync services in OS X Mavericks. Therefore, you cannot sync Outlook 2011 with Contacts or Calendar.
2. Apple has removed the ability to sync through iTunes in OS X Mavericks, so that, even if you use Contacts and Calendar on the Mac, you can only sync them with your iPhone through iCloud, thus exposing all your contacts and calendar information to the mercies of the Web.
3. Microsoft does not not support CalDAV and CardDAV in Outlook, so there is no way to sync directly through iCloud, except perhaps by setting up a Microsoft Exchange account.
4. Apple makes it extremely difficult (virtually impossible) to revert to a version of OSX that is earlier than OS X Mavericks once Mavericks is installed.
In short, we are screwed and neither company seems to care.
In fact Microsoft does support Cal and CardDav in Outlook, just not in the Mac version of Outlook.
Reverting back from Mavericks requires nothing more than a backup of the system to restore from, if you do not elect to make backups that is a choice, but I would venture that it is a bad choice.

Problem with iTunes after upgrading

Hey guys my name is jake and my issue is so:
i've upgraded my iTunes to the latest version 7.4.3 yesterday and on the same day i've installed quick time 6.5 codec for some work i needed.
now i dont know if the quick time install is relate to it but since then my itunes wont open. it just errors me and ask me if i want to send or not to send eroor report
when running quicktime( the one came with itunes) it says buffer overrun detected
i tried reinstalling itunes few times and tried to install it on older version
nothing has worked. also removed the ipod driver and reinstalled it
havent worked either.
any advices?
thanks ahead
Jake

I recently upgraded to the latest that was offered and I think it was 7.4.1. Have they made a newer one since then??
Anyways, I had a problem immediately. I have a large majority of my music on an external hard drive, and some downloaded music on my computer. After upgrading, itunes would not work, and I discovered that when I unplugged the external hard drive (which contains most of my music) itunes did work and played what was already on my laptop. Everytime I try to plug my external hard drive back in, the same problem occurs: itunes freezes and I have to shut my computer down. I also noticed that it says I have something like 6000 songs and 347 GB! I don't know how many gigs 6000 songs might be depending on length, but there is no way I have 347 gigs of music since I have nowhere near that amount of space on my hard drive and external hard drive nor do I have that much music anyways...no CLUE what is going on here.
I'm afraid to delete itunes and reinstall it because I don't want the downloaded music on my computer to be deleted and I don't currently hve a place to back it up. Have you found any solutions/know what's going on with me??

Vista SP1 update problems with itunes after

Hello,
After installing the SP1 Vista update, i cant play music anymore with itunes.
the play button doesnt work anymore. After installing (repairing) itunes again? it still doesnt work.

Well, a little update. I plugged my phone back into my laptop, went into iTunes again though the computer, and let it sync again. Unplugged it, and the same thing happened again. I shut the phone off, then turned it on again, recharged the battery on the wall charger and it seems to be working OK now.
Every now and then my App Store will not open, and certian apps will crash, but a little better than before.
I'll tell you what, Apple really dropped the ball with the 4.0 update for us 3G users it looks like

Problems with iWeb, after installing Lion

Hi,
Ever since I installed Lion, I have been having problems with iWeb. Any changes I make in iWeb, and then publish to my site, via mobileme, are not saved, and the site reverts to the orignial site, after closing the website, and iWeb also loses the cahnges. I am unable to sue the Publish Site button, and the option for Publish Site changes is not available.
I am using iLife 11.
These problems have only occurred since I installed Lion.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Nozza

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Problem with battery after switching to SSD drive

HI
(macbook pro late 2011 13 inch, 2.7 Mhz, 8 Giga ram OS Yosemite)
I have replaced my hard drive to a new SSD drive (Samsung 850EVO 500 GB).
Before that my battery worked wonderfully- when fully charged I could work normally (Wifi and "normal" use) for 4-6 hours.
Immediately after replacing I can "squeeze" at most only 3-4 hours of working.
Any one has encountered similar problem? what did I do wrong? I must say I did this upgrade for my brother's computer, exactly the same computer and he has the same problem but even worst.
(I ran a test with iStat pro and got "85% health battery").
Thanks for the help!

I don't see a new topic link anywhere so please forgive me.
I just got my mac today and ive searched through the forums and typed in advanced searches and I cannot seem to find a answer. I cant even register my mini because something is wrong with the serial number I been on the internet and usually when i'd get done for the day on the internet I would do a disk clean up and defrag my pc. My question is there any way I can do a disk clean up and defrag on a mac? Please help
Oh and I have another question. I read about some kinda feature that allows me to use my mac mini to share a internet connection with a another computer. But im not too sure if they were just talking about a network or whatever. But could I do so if I wanted to connect a ps3 to my mini with a ethernet cord and use the mini's wifi feature to share the internet?

Problem with chess after installing Leopard

The other week I did an Archive and Install of Leopard on my MacBookPro running Tiger. Several applications failed to work following the install and this has been solved by downloading new versions. Although chess seems to be more problematic. Every time I launch chess I just get a message saying that chess has unexpectedly quit. However this behaviour is starting to become expectable. I have read other posts reporting similar problems after installing Leopard however they are able to play a couple of moves before it quits. For me chess does not even launch.
I have tried trashing the preference file, creating and using a new user account, and copying chess from another computer. The copied application just states that I can not use chess with this version of OSX.
Does anyone have any ideas as I really do not want to have to reinstall Leopard just for a application I only use when very bored (which is surprisingly often).
Thanks for any help you can give.
Chuck

Thanks for pointing out that app. Very useful indeed.
I have deleted my copy of chess and reinstalled a new copy from the OSX Leopard install disk and it still fails to launch.
Any other ideas?

Problems with MBP after installing smcfancontrol

I decided to install smcfancontrol because the computer was getting a bit hot after installing extra ram. Right after installing the software I encountered problems. It was not responsive and when it does, the fans would stay at its minimum rpm even after heavy load. I uninstall the software and the problem is still there. Fan's rpm will not increase as temperature rises.
I experimented by booting into windows and ran a game and I noticed that the fans were going faster. But when I reboot back into os X it doesn't reboot at all, I get the boot sound but it doesn't load and the screen is dark. I would have to press the power button to shut it off and turn it on again. I then decided to reinstall os X and to my dismay, the problem is still there!
Any Suggestions?

booted with install cd, ran the hardware diagnostic program and everything came out good. The fans rpm was higher as I was running the diagnostic program. I assume that firmware is not corrupted and it has more to do with the OS. Btw, is it normal for the computer to run at 60c and have the fan run at around 2000rpms? Is it possible to have some traces of the old OS left after a fresh install?
Edit: I got the computer to run in heavy load and after the cpu temp got to 65c the fans started kicking in. Guess it's back to normal. I was used to seeing the fan start running faster at around 60c

Problem with MMC after installing ARGO

Hello,
after installing ARGO I got in trouble with my Microsoft SAPMMC control panel. It does not working properly anymore. The MMC is not reponding when clicking yes for the question of converting the data to the new mmc version.
I have already installed one portal NW04s and three portals NW04.
Has anyone an idea how to solve this issue?
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Olaf Reiss

Hi Olaf,
maybe there is something wrong with your sapmmc.msc configuration. You can try to create a new one by following these steps:
Start mmc.exe
Choose File -> Add/Remove Snap in... -> Standalone tab -> Add...
Select SAP Systems Manager
Place a checkmark into all checkboxes in the General Settings window and select Use fixed SAP Instance list. Press Next
Select Remote Administration Communication Security level "Low" and press Next
Press Finish
If this does not help, you could try switching off Always show local SAP instances at the fourth step above and add the instances manually in the Fixed instance list (last step).
Finally, save your new MMC configuration.
Hopefully this solves the problem.
Regards,
Dirk
