Thank you,

Why won't it let me add my own music to playlists?

I was wanting to hear I Need You To Love Me by BarlowGirl (the real version, not the acoustic version Spotify has), and I started a new playlist to add a bunch of songs I have on my computer including that one. There were 20 songs I was trying to move into the playlist, and only two songs (Lost In Love by Air Supply and Love Me Tomorrow by Chicago) transferred. No matter what I do, it won't let me put those other 18 songs into the Spotify playlist. Also, I can't find most of my own music in the "Local Files" tab. I understand that not all the music in the world will be on Spotify, and I understand why The Beatles and others aren't on there, but why can't I make a Beatles "LOVE" playlist by dragging the album into Spotify? I am a Premium user, so I don't understand why I can't add whatever song I want to my own playlists.

Seriously Spotify team, PLEASE get on this issue! It's been like this for a majority of 2015 so far and no changes. I have to downgrade to an earlier version of Spotify to be able to create new playlists of local files that I've bought offline that Spotify doesn't have. I think Spotify has been upgraded numerous times since this issue came to light and it STILL hasn't been fixed; every time there's an upgrade, instead of enjoying new features I have to curse and swear under my breath as I re-downgrade my spotify to be able to do this one very important thing (create local file playlists.)
This is a huge problem and should have been addressed immediately instead of just ignored for so long. PLEASE lets fix this issue so your users can actually USE your latest software!

Why won't Firefox let me add an exception?

Firefox tells me that a site has an invalid security certificate, which I know. It asks if I want to Add an Exception and I click to add one. It pops up the Add Security Exception window and that window tells me that this site has a valid certificate and there is no need to add an exception; but I DO need to add an exception and it won't do it for me. Why?
I am working in a secure test lab and use Firefox to login to our systems under test. Each time we change or add hardware we must add exceptions to login to a system. I have done this for years with Firefox but now Firefox 4 seems confused. We now need to use EI, which I would rather not.

I use a lot of equipment with internal (untrusted/self-signed) certificates and I face this problem one or two times a month. This has been going on since FF 4.0 came out and has continued with v5 and v6. I know someone said nothing has changed with regard to cert handling - you are wrong.
This issue is nearly crippling to me and is driving me away from FF entirely. Were it not for a couple irreplaceable plugins I use, I would already be gone. No other modern browser is as irritating WRT the handling of untrusted SSL certificates as firefox is, and no other modern browser has a problem like this. I'm facing this issue right now with a system that I *need* to be able to access, and I simply cannot use FF to do so because of this infuriating issue.

Mail won't let me add a new email account

I have 4 email accounts in Mail and for some reason it will not let me add another new account. I have tried file>add new account and also the + sign within preferences>accounts. Any ideas what may be the problem?

I'm having exactly the same problem, but this wasn't the case the last time I added an account a few months ago - might this be as a result of a recent update?
Any help on this would be gratefully received, thank you!

Help why won't photoshop let me edit my photos anymore?

Why won't photoshop let me edit my photos I am a photographer and my photos need more editing but photoshop will open the tools but nothing happens with any of the tools!

Too little information …
Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

HT4743 When I try to buy a tv episode, it comes up with a message "problems communicating with itunes store, try later" click ok and then another messge comes up to verify payment info online. Everything is correct. Why won't it let me buy??

When I try to buy a tv episode on apple tv, it gives me a message of "problems connecting with store, try again later". I hit ok, and then another message comes up to go online and verify payment information. I have done that, all info is correct. Why won't it let me purchase? This has been going on for days.

I figured it out!
I read a solution for something that sounded similar.
Anyone in similar position:
Open iTunes app on iPhone, and pick an option from bottom, such as music. Then scroll down to bottom of page and where your iTunes ID is, press on it, and pick sign out.
Then return to home screen, and double press home button and press and hold on first icon showing, until a minus symbol appears in the top left of icons present. Press on each minus symbol on each app in turn, until all app icons have disappeared. Then Restart the phone by pressing and hold the home button and the on/off/standby button at top of phone, until the apple symbol appears in centre of blank screen.
Swipe to turn phone fully on and open settings and scroll down to iTunes and apps option and tap that. Pick sign in and put in your apple ID, it will accept it and then return to home screen and open iTunes a you'll find it works fine
Simple really, but some like me won't think f this themselves!
Hope that helps

ICloud won't let me add my new iCloud e-mail to my old .me account as an alias?

I have recently created a new iCloud account as I have changed my maiden name. I have an old .me account which I am trying to add the new iCloud address to as an alias, so I keep getting my old e-mails but through the newly named iCloud account.
When I go to add the new iCloud account as an alias to the .me account in the preferences in iCloud it says 'this alias is not available' but it obviously is because i am using it to sign in to my new account and post this message? Screenshots attached to help.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong or could be going wrong? I think it might be confused with accounts but can't be sure!
Thanks for any help.

I'm afraid you can't do this. You are in effect trying to place one Apple ID within another Apple ID. Once iCloud address has been created using one Apple ID and iCloud account it can't be moved in any way to another iCloud account.
What you can do is to set up forwarding from the new iCloud account to the old one. Go to http://www.icloud.com , go to the Mail page, click the cogwheel icon at bottom left, and in the General tab of the pane which opens use the 'Forwarding' section to forward your messages on.
Note however that you probably won't be able to use the new account's address as the 'From' address when sending from the old one - I'm not sure about that: you certainly can't do that with a non-Apple address but the question of doing it in your situation doesn't normally arise, so you will have to experiment.
