Hello, vizords.
Thank you for the question.  You will need to enable the menu bar in iTunes 11 so you can access the store menu which will allow you to authorize the computer.  Here are the steps on how to process this.

  • Time machine cannot find the backup disk, need to reset but previous data cannot be accessed.

    Lately, my time machine/time capsule has the problem to find the backup disk in the time capsule and cannot perform the backup. I have to reset (at the back of the unit) then the backup can start again, but I can only access the backup data since the last backup, all my previous backup data is no longer available.
    Does anyone face the similar situation and how to fix it?

  • Firefox wont open as it cannot find the file HELP!!!

    My firefox wont open, when i click anything to get on firefox it comes up with windows cannot find firefox
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == randomly after i shut down my computer once ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; AskTbBT5/5.8.0.12304)

    1. Close Firefox completely. (File->Exit on Windows/Linux, Firefox->Quit on Mac)
    2. Rename the Firefox installation folder or move it elsewhere.
    *Windows: This is usually C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox. "Mozilla Firefox" can be renamed to "Old Firefox"
    *Mac: This is usually Macintosh HD/Applications/Firefox.app. Macintosh HD/Applications can be opened in Finder, and Firefox can be dragged to Trash.
    *Linux: The install location varies based on distribution and installation method. Linux distributions usually don't put Firefox in its own folder, so this method can't be used.
    3. Download Firefox again from www.mozilla.com and install. (Installation instructions for Windows, Mac, Linux )
    4. If this fixes the problem, you can optionally check the old install folder for global extensions, components, or corrupt/locked files.

  • I cannot update itunes because system cannot find the data itunes64.msi. What can I do?

    I cannot update itunes because the latest version cannot be deleted (system is looking for itunes64.msi and cannot find). Update is going reverse. I tried to install the full version, but there is the same problem. What can I do?
    When I try to deinstall the old version by windows, the same problem

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Portege M400 - Windows XP cannot find the hard disk drive

    Hi,
    Ive got a Portege M400 to which im wanting to start a fresh, I never had the tablet XP CD so im trying to install using a XP Pro disc but everytime I get no hard drive can be detected and I tried a another Home edition disc also.
    Ive searched for SCSI/ SATA drivers but can only find RAID drivers to which are no good for me,
    Hopefully someone can help me out
    Thanks

    Hi wacksonjackson,
    Why these RAID drivers are not good for you? Windows XP requires RAID drivers if your notebook has RAID controller and there is no other option to install XP from a normal Windows XP disk. So download the RAID drivers on official Toshiba website. Either you create a new installation disk with RAID drivers using freeware tool nLite or you copy the drivers on an external USB FDD and load them during XP setup.
    Also check similar threads here in forum. You will find hundreds of similar threads about SATA and RAID drivers.
    Check this!!!

  • I need to install CS5 on a new computer and cannot find the install disk (it was an upgrade).

    How can I acquire a replacement CS5 upgrade disk?

    You can download the software from Adobe.com. 
    You'll need the serial number.  If you don't have it, but have registered the software with Adobe, you can still get the older downloads directly from them, as well as serial numbers through the My Adobe link on Adobe's main web pages (accessble directly through the red logo at the top of this page).
    Good luck.

  • My ipad quit backing up and it cannot find the file.  I tried putting on another computer after a hard reset but it says it cannot back up there either.

    My ipad quit backing up because it cannot find the file.  I have tried a restore and hard reset and adding itunes to another computer and putting it on there but it still will cannot add the ipad to the new computer and back up.  I have an iPad (not iPad 2) and 5.01 OS.  It appears that my iPad is not fully fuctional since I updated to the new OS which is when my ipad stopped backing up.  I lost data too and some apps don't work anymore.

    Have you previously synced photos to the iPad, as that occasionally causes the 'missing file' error. If so then try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try backing up - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314.
    In terms of apps not working, if it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
    If it's happening on all apps then try closing them all completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e.not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • 6th Gen/osx10.7/iTunes 11.0 'The ipod cannot be synced because it cannot  be found.'

    Hi,
    I sure do hope someone has some great ideas here - because I'm stumped.  I'm trying to sync up my husband's ipod.  Gee whiz - who knew it would be so difficult. 
    Products: 
    I have a 6th Gen. ipod, syncing to a Macbook Pro using OS X 10.7 on iTunes 11.0.1.  I have been successfully syncing this ipod for a few years now with no trouble - mostly music & photos.
    I updated iTunes to the latest version 11.0.1 and synced the ipod.  (It should be noted that I had such a screwed up library from iTunes that I deleted the entire library and reloaded it and regenerate playlists, etc..  I was able to sync up about 1,100 songs to the ipod with no problems and only used up about 6GB of space out of a total of 16GB.)
    Issue:
    The trouble began when I tried to upload additional music and I received the following error... 'the ipod cannot be synced because it cannot be found'.  Which is weird since my Mac & iTunes both 'saw' the device and I was able to view uploaded content 'on this ipod' in iTunes.  It doesn't matter how much data, or what kind of data I'm trying to sync - I get the same error message.
    The device reads, ''Connected - Eject before disconnecting'.  So I tried to eject the from iTunes, which shows it's disconnected there - but the icon remains on my desktop and still shows it's connected on the device.  Then I tried ejecting from my desktop - no change.  The only way to remove the device is to completely MANUALLY shut down my laptop (it hangs when I try to relaunch Finder, restart or shut down within OS). 
    Troubleshooting Conducted:
    I have restarted and reset the device - problem persists.  Device is fully charged.  Has the latest OS.  USB ports are operating without issue with other peripherals (external HDDs/speakers).  This does not appear to be a hardware issue (laptop and device) since both appear to be functioning properly (the device with existing content and the laptop with everything else.)
    I've searched through Apple's support pages as well as community discussions and was unable to really find anything similar - please forgive me if I've overlooked something.  I'm happy to go to existing solutions.
    Also of note - both my son's and my iPhones have synced with this version of iTunes remotely without any problems.
    Hope I've given enough info.  I hope even more that someone may have a solution for me. 
    Thank you for your time.

    Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

  • The ipod cannot be synced because it cannot be found

    All - I just tried downloading the new iOS 6 from iTunes to my 4th-Gen iPod Touch, which currently has iOS 4.3.  After about 2/3 of the (very long) time downloading, I kept getting 'the ipod '(my name)' cannot be synced because it cannot be found'.  I can't even find this error message on the 'net.  I've found people talking about a similar message about a file cannot be found, but not that the iPod can't be found.  And of course it's a software glitch, because after that download finished - but didn't successfully update the iPod Touch - it synced anyway (books, music, etc.) - so whaddya mean the iPod can't be found?  :^)
    Oh, and I should add - in some other error instances, I found people saying to 'restart' the iPod - do you just mean turn it off and back on??

    Hello, I have the same problem, i have the most up to date firmware - just released, however, since the iOS6 update my ipod has a had a number of problems, including if I try to update over Wi fi it shows the iPod as available but I get 'ipod touch could not be found on the network'. I have tried resetting, I've reverted to factorsettings etc... no fix though.
    I can sync by cable - but that also has intermittent issues.
    In fact when I updated to iOS 6.1 by cable it fell over again and I had to do a full restore on my Ipod. I have only had this issue since upgrading to iOS 6.
    Any one have any ideas?

  • HT4236 Syncing photos using iTunes in windows revealed this error message "iPad Jayvee cannot be synced because it cannot be read from or written to ." Please advise asap how to resolve the issue.  Thanks!

    Please advise how to resolve error message - cannot be synced because it cannot be read from or written to.

    Hello Janet,
    I would recommend this article named 'Disk cannot be read from or written to' when syncing iPod or 'Firmware update failure' error when updating or restoring iPod found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1207
    Outdated operating system software
    Make sure you have the latest updates for your operating system, which may include improvements for device connections. For example, many USB and FireWire improvements have been included in Windows Service Packs.Check for Mac OS X downloads. Check for Windows updates.
    Computer needs updates
    Make sure you have the latest updates available for your specific computer model (or components for home-built PCs). These are usually available for download on the support website for the maker of the PC (or component). Many USB updates are listed as "Intel chipset" or just "chipset" updates on PC manufacturer's support and download websites.
    Software interference
    Some software can interfere with iTunes, making it unable to write files to your iPod. Think about what software you have installed, and try disabling any add-ons that might be interfering with iTunes. Check your suspected software's documentation or contact the software maker if you need assistance with disabling the application. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software frequently causes this issue. See these steps for identifying and troubleshooting third-party security software.
    Damaged files
    If one of your music files or photos is damaged, iTunes may display one of these errors when transferring that file to the iPod. If you identify a file that is causing the error, try deleting that file and reimporting it from a backup file or from the original source. You may be able to repair files by repairing the disk (see the solutions in the next section).
    Unregistered .dll files (Windows)
    Malware or other software may cause an issue with the digital signing of Windows XP drivers. First try restoringthe iPod using the latest version of iTunes.. If you are unable to restore it or the symptom reappears, follow the steps in this document.
    Damaged disk structure
    These errors can also appear if the format of your computer's hard drive or your iPod disk is damaged.
    To repair your computer's hard disk—Mac OS X users, read this article for instructions. Windows users, search the Help system in Windows for chkdsk to get more information on checking and repairing the disk structure.
    To repair an iPod disk—Restore the iPod or iPod shuffle using the latest version of iTunes.
    Warning: Be sure to back up your data before restoring an iPod. The restore process cannot be undone. All of your songs and files will be deleted.
    Corrupt iPod photo Cache
    If you're getting the error when transferring photos to an iPod photo, try deleting the iPod photo Cache and then starting the photo sync again.
    Lost connection
    Make sure that the connections from your computer to the iPod are snug and do not wiggle or come loose during transfers. For example, if you use the wrong size dock for your iPod, it can put strain on the connectors and cause a bad connection. See these articles for more information:
    Learn about iPod Universal Dock
    iPod Dock: Specifications
    Conflict with third-party hardware
    Third-party USB or FireWire devices may also interfere with iTunes' ability to communicate with your iPod. Remove all USB and FireWire devices except the keyboard and mouse before reconnecting your iPod to the computer.
    Bad hardware
    Hardware failure or non-compliant hardware can cause these errors. This could be an issue with iPod hardware or with the cable or dock you're using, but more often it's an issue with the USB or FireWire card or interface in your computer. Some USB and FireWire interfaces just don't work very well. If you isolate the issue to the USB or FireWire interface in your computer, you may want to try a different port, get the computer serviced, or replace the card or interface with a better one.
    If you isolate the issue to an Apple-supplied cable or dock, or the iPod itself, you can get it serviced here.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • "The iPad/iPhone cannot be synced because it cannot be read from or written to"

    Since updating to iOS 7.0.2, when syncing my ipad and my iphone I get the message, "The ipad/phone cannot be synced because it cannot be read from or written to." When I deselect all photos from being synced to my devices, the message no longer appears. This tells me the problem is obviously related to iphoto.  Reading a few forums on this matter tells me the solution has something to do with emptying a photo cache, deleting photos, then reimporting; everything is rather vague. I always empty trash in iphoto, then I secure empty trash in finder, then I erase free disc space in disc utility. What exact steps must I take so that itunes will once again sync all images from iphoto onto both my ipad and iphone?

    For those that follow~
    After speaking to Apple Support for about 2 hours, the issue has been narrowed down to a corruption problem in the computers iPhoto Library.
    To confirm this:
    Problem: When ticking "sync photos" in iTunes, your sync fails with the error "cannot be synced, unknown error -50". (syncing other data is OK, only when ticking photos is there a problem)
    Test: HOLD alt/option (mac) & open iPhoto. You will be prompted to create a new Library. (the old one will be left untouched)
    Import a few photos to your new library.
    Quit iTUNES & re-open it. Connect your device & go to the photo tab. Click Sync Photos, you will see your new library. Sync - it should now work.
    In iPhoto you can switch between your old & new Library using the FILE >Switch Library option.
    Additionally: You may also import photos to your device by using iTunes "Sync Photos *From Folder* " option.
    This is a work around to get your photos onto your device without using iPhoto.
    This is not a fix, my issue is ongoing. I am posting only to help future readers. In my case rebuilding the iPhoto Library (hold option/alt when opening iPhoto) was not able to correct the problem.
