Why are some of my old files on my mac after I do a complete restore?

Whenever I get a new Mac or I restore my old one some of my old files such as music photos and movies are on my new one.  I think it is auto saving some of my email attachments.  It seems a lot of the images where ones that I took or veiwed with my Ipod/iPhone.  Is there anyway to stop this?

If i deauthorize this PC can i reauthorize it after i do a complete restore thus saving that precious last authorization in case of an emergency?
Yes.
Note that if and when you reach the maximum of five authorizations, you can (once per year) deauthorize all the systems. There will be at that time a button in your iTunes Store account information for performing that deauthorization. You could then authorize those systems you're using.
if i create a new i tunes account can i play the songs currently on my ipod and those purchased with the old account?
If you mean a new iTunes Store account, that account authorization would only be valid for content purchase through that account. It will have no effect on authorizations from your current iTunes Store account.
Regards.

  • Why are some of my midi files not playing?

    This baffles me, out of a thousand or two midi files I have, about 20% will display an "Mac OS error 208" message saying "this movie could not be opened".
    Now, this is neither a movie file, nor a file there should be any problem in opening, since it WILL open, like all other ones, when used inside any music editing programs I have!
    Any idea what is up with this seemingly arbitrary & pointless obstacle?

    Yeah, iTunes can play them and they have burned to disc but when I play the disc doesn't play all the tracks.
    When I open the disc the tracks that won't play have the VLC icon beside them, I thought I may need to convert these in some way.
    In addition, when I open up the iTunes Music Library folder on my C Drive the files have VLC icons too.
    I'm completely stumped?!?!

  • Why are some of my PDF files using Adobe X Reader in Firefox 4 damaged?

    I click on a PDF file to read and it comes up damaged and cannot be repaire. Yet, this same file can be read or view in Chrome and IE with no problems. Why? Other users I know have no problems if they're using Firefox 3.6. This is the link:

  • Why are some iCloud services not syncing with my Mac?

    iCloud seems to be syncing just fine between my iPhone 4S (AT&T 4G) (iOS 5.1.1) and my iPad 2 (Wi-Fi + 3G) (iOS 5.1.1), but not with my MacBook Air (Late 2010) (Mountian Lion 10.8.1). Here's a list of iCould services that I've noticed are and are not working:
    iCloud mail (@me.com) and Gmail syncs and updates on my computer sometimes. (I get that these might be seperate issues. I think I need to change the "port" on one or both – suggestions?).
    Exchange email syncs and updates on my computer most of the time.
    Notes syncs and updates on my computer never.
    Photo Stream has stopped updating and syncing on my computer altogether (worked for the first few weeks and not for the past few weeks).
    iMessage synced with my computer and phone before Mountian Lion released (that is, all incomming iMessages sent to my Apple ID would be recieved at my phone and computer), but I don't think it's worked since.
    iCal, Contacts, and Reminders seem to update and sync on my computer all of the time.
    Because they're all iCloud services I want to think there is a one common problem – which is why I've created only one thread. But because they are not common to all services, I'm guessing it might be a case by case basis.
    Of course I should state all iCloud services are turned on for all devices and computer, and I am using the same Apple ID for them all. Also, all devices/computer are connected to internet via Wi-Fi/4G pretty much all the time. Finally, it's possible there are other issues I've missed—although it seems unlikely since I use them all, all the time)—I think this is a pretty good representation of my problems.
    Thanks for your help!!

    For photo stream, if the source of the photos is an iOS device, be sure the photo app used to take the picture has been turned off, not just sleeping.
    Have you rebooted the computer?  The router?

  • Disc Burner. Why are some files not readable or writeable?

    Hello,
    I am trying to backup my friends computer files on a beige G3 (233 MHz). I am burning about 6 DVDs of AIF music files. Most of the files are about 30 - 40 Megs in size. Often I receive error messages on particular files that read:
    "The operation cannot be completed because some data cannot be read or written.
    (Error code - 36)"
    Followed by the choices: "Stop" or "Continue".
    I have a bad feeling that my startup disk is too small but I am not sure.
    Most of the files work fine. However some of the files cause disc burner to not be able to use them in the disc image before I burn. Why would this be?
    Here are the specifications:
    Computer: beige G3 with two hard drives (one SCSI and one ATA hard drive) and a Pioneer DVR-110D DVD writer which is Apple supported (Apple system profiler indicates Apple supported on this DVD writer). My blank DVD disks are Sony Vermatim DVD-R (1 - 16x speed support). Although I think my beige G3 only writes them at about 2 or 4x.
    I am using OS 10.1.5. My startup disk which has OS 10.1.5 in it is a 4 GIG SCSI disk. Is this big enough for a startup disk (for creating 4.5 GIG DVDs)? My files are on the second hard drive which is a 40 GIG ATA disk.
    I have a bad feeling that my OSX startup drive is too small for disk burning - it is only 4 GIGs in total and OSX Disc burner (Disc copy) is first making a disk image on my startup volume before it burns it. Perhaps that disk image is too large for the startup volume. Is there any way I could ask OSX to put this disk image on the second larger hard drive instead (not the startup drive?).
    Here is my process (I hope I am doing this right - I am new at this):
    1. I first insert a blank DVD-R
    2. A message pops up asking my if I would like to create a blank disc image for this disk (I think this is the typical Disk Copy utility window. I say "yes" and give it a name and choose the "DVD-R or DVD-RAM" option. (I am not sure if there are other important settings to choose here or better settings to use but I guessed the other options that seemed obvious. A blank disk image is created with an icon that looks like a DVD disk.
    3. Then I drag my chosen files to this blank disc image. It takes about 30 minutes to copy over. Thats when I receive the error message that some files couldn't be "read or written". The other files work fine but it would be nice if they all worked.
    Why would some files not be readable or writeable?
    4. Then I choose file/burn in the top menu and the DVD is created. This takes another 20 - 30 minutes. At the very end of the process another message pops up saying:
    "Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -28)" Followed by an "OK" button.
    However all the files that made it onto the final DVD are fine - its just that its not all of the ones I originally chose in the first step when dragging to create the disk image.
    Am I doing this the right way?
    Why are some files not "readable or writeable" as it indicates in the error message?
    Is my 4 GIG startup disk too small for this? or are the music files possibly corrupt? or could there be some other possible problem?
    Thanks

    To follow up, I have some good news. After following your advice Kappy, it now works very well Thanks! Instead of using the 4 GIG volume for the OS, I am now using an 8 GIG partition on an 80 GIG drive. So now the OS has some room to operate. No disk errors occured on my first DVD
    Now there was one problem. The second DVD burned gave me an error. I am not sure why but I am going to guess that because I had to installed the OS onto an 8 GIG partition maybe the OS needs to be rebooted in between disk burns because although 8 GIGs is certainly greater than the 4 GIGs I gave it last time, it still isn't a lot of space - maybe just enough to do one DVD at a time. Thats only a guess. So I rebooted to see if that clears the system out ready for the next DVD and I am trying to burn the second DVD again. If I remember I will report back. In any case, yes, this seems to be working. I hope this second DVD burns well too.
    Thanks Kappy

  • Why are some of the file folders on my desktop showing up with a shaded color?

    Why are some of the folders on my desktop showing up with a different folder color, a dark shad of blue, opposed to the default blue color?
    I've searched and searched but all I can find are posts on how to change the color of your folder. I am concerned that maybe, I accidentally shared it or have done something I am not aware of. (Mac Mini, 2.3 i7, 1TB, 16GB RAM running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2)

    I don't know how many photos you're trying to post on one page but if you put too many PCs using Internet Explorer may have problems loading the page.  I prefer to keep the number down to less than 50 and have more than one page which will be indicated by the page links at the top of the thumbnails:

  • Why are some of my emails coming in with lines all bunched together on top of each other, unable to read?

    WHy are some of my emails coming in with the text body all bunched together on top of one another unable to read?

    Are that bookmarks that you have imported from another browser?
    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Why Are Some Of My Downloads Landing In The Trash?

    Why are some of my downloads landing in the trashcan? I just went to empty my trash can and when I opened it up I found about 5 files that I downloaded just last night. Why would my personal and important files have found thier way into my trash can?
    Blessings,
    Damon

    sometimes, depending on how the file was compressed, the .zip or .sit files will go into the trash once uncompressed.
    are the uncompressed files still in your download location? (desktop, download folder, etc.)

  • Why are some of the forums locked?

    Why are some of the forums locked?  Could it be because the number of complains for service (the lack of), scams by stores - employees, placating that happens just to make a sale or general MISINFORMATION and a total disregard for their customers would question some of Verizon's tactics?
    Morally, ethically and legally questionable actions by employees with little to no accountability sounds about right?
    What say you Verizon Customers?

    Could be varied reasons. The thread is outdated, the question was answered, there are off topic attacks, there are personal attacks on forum members, there could be spam posts, or off topic posts, cross posting over and over and the list could go on.
    Hope that answers your question?
