Yosemite will not upload on my MacPro, says I have to verify or repair, but when I do - it fails on that too. Am now stuck with a computer that doesn't work ! Have I lost everything ?

Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

TS1702 I will purchase an APP and it downloads fine. After it downloads it will have the"open" rectangle. But when I hit hit, it won't open nor does it appear on my ipad screen. I'm updated on everything and it's an ipad 2

After successful purchase AND download of an app...any app....when it finishes and says "open", I'm unable to open it and it's no where to be found on my screen. It had been working fine and now it's not....HELP PLEASE. Thank you

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

My itunes store is saying that it could not contact the server, it says i need to restore my ipod but when i go to restore it, it says the server could not be contacted or something. what does this mean?

okay so last night i went to charge my ipod in the computer and it started working then i took it out of the computer and put it on a wall charger and it had a spasm attack and shut itself down, after that it said i had to connect it to itunes so when i did it kept telling me that i need to restore my ipod, but when i press restore the itunes said "the contact server is not avalible" or something similar to that, what does that actually mean and is there anyway i can fix my ipod. i have dropped my ipod a few times, on tiles, wood, in a gutter of water when it fell out my pocket but im also wondering is it something to do with my ipod or is it itunes?

Try:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
The abuse may prevent a restore or prevent proper operation of the iPod if you can restore the iPod.

HT2404 Mountain Lion will not download through the apps store. It shows up in Launchpad, but when the screensaver goes on and I enter my password and my desktop shows up, it has disappeared from launchpad. I have set my energy saver controls appropriate

Mountain lion will not download thru the apps store. It has been purchased and redeemed. I have set my energy settings appropriately so computer will not turn off during download as Verizon offers a connection that is very slow. I have set the display to go to sleep (which I have set so I have to sign in again). When I sign in again, Mountain Lion OSX has disappeared from the launchpad. I have tried this several times. I do have Norton Internet Security on my Mac Air. I turned off the idle time scan on the Norton and tried again. Same results. Anyone?

Ask anyone around here, and they will tell you quite differently. AV software will slow down your computer, can be incompatible with software you use, can cause kernel panics and other problems. It is unnecessay since OS X has it's own protection built-in. AV software can no more tell the difference between safe and unsafe sites on your browser than could an elephant.
But, hey, who am I to argue with your tech person? Please, don't let me sway your opinion. How about a visit to:
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
          Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
          OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          About file quarantine in OS X
If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express 1.1.6 or Dr.Web Light both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.)

HT204406 My itunes library will not upload. It just says an error occurred. How do I fix this?!!!!!

My Itunes music has a cloud with an exclamation point and I cant upload to icloud. It was working fine until I updated to mountain lion and now my icloud has no songs. The library is still there and I can play everything in itunes. What can I do to fix this?

Search the error code in the support search and you should find something that will walk you through it, but without an error code it's a little hard to know what you're talking about

Photo will not upload my pictures from the same camera that always worked in IPhoto. Says "could not be imported (may be unrecognized file type or files may not contain valid data). So how do I do it?

Photo will not upload new photos from same camera that always worked in IPhoto. Says "could not be uploaded )may be unrecognized file type or files may not contain valid data). Help!

Try image capture or a card reader - after the photos are safely on your Mac then use the camera's format command to reformat the memory card

IPhoto project will not upload even in safe mode when trying to buy book, any suggestions on how to complete the "BUY BOOK" process. Christmas gift, really need to get this done, have worked MANY hours on putting it together. Please help!

Iphoto book will not upload even in safe mode when trying to buy book, any suggestions on how to complete the "BUY BOOK" process?

Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the fix below:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
After each run thru the repair process see if you can create a PDF file of the book as described in this Apple Document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. If you can try ordering the book. If you can't finish trying all of the otpions and then boot into Safe mode and try there.

Dreamweaver will not upload file to Server

I am having an issue uploading files to the server with Dreamweaver. I have been using Creative Cloud for 6 months and the issue started Monday.
If I select a file, click put icon the FTP access connects to the server successfully. However, the FTP log says "file not transferred - same" and does not transfer the file to the server. The file has been edited, saved and shows the changes in Dreamweaver and in my browser locally.
I have rebuilt the site cache in Dreamweaver going to Site -> Advanced -> Rebuild Site Cache. Did not resolve the issue.
I deleted the file on the server (using another FTP program) and Dreamweaver still will not upload the .html file to the server, thus the file is missing. Then I have to upload via another FTP program.
I am able to upload edited files successfully from another computer that is using Dreamweaver CS 6, so it is not a server problem.
Does anyone know how to correct this?

Are both computers on the same router? Can you move the computer that's failing to upload onto a different network?
I ran into something similar to this a while back, only I couldn't get it to work from any machine on my home network, it was fine from the office, but it wouldn't upload anything at home. Turned out my router went bad and didn't like certain kinds of traffic. I ended up replacing it and everything worked fine.

IMovie will not upload to Vimeo

I use iMovie to upload to YouTube all the time and it has always worked great. I noticed that the new version of iMovie has the ability also to upload to Vimeo. I have a Vimeo account so I chose the upload to Vimeo option and entered in my password, but nothing happened. IMovie didn’t give me either a progress bar or an error message. It just didn’t do anything. I checked my password to make sure it is correct. I do not understand why iMovie will not upload to Vimeo. How do I fix this?

I had the same problem. Looks like iMovie doesn't give any feedback when the login to Vimeo fails.
The most likely problem is that your "vimeo user account name" is *not* your full name (say "Marc-André Lafortune"), but your "shortcut url" (in my case "malafortune"). You can set this in vimeo by using this link: http://vimeo.com/settings/shortcut
This is what you must enter when you setup your account in iMovie. If that is correct and your password is good too, you will see a progress bar after the login is successful (2-3 seconds).
HTH
If anyone from Apple is reading this: iMovie should be fixed by
1) giving feedback when login fails
2) ideally change "user account name" for "shortcut URL" or similar, with a popup like "what is this?"
3) only accept the characters that are accepted by Vimeo for the shortcut URL (letters and numbers, no spaces, etc...)

IMovie WILL NOT upload to iCloud Drive

For some reason my iMovie App on my Macbook will not upload the videos to the cloud. I make a lot of videos for myself, my friends and for youtube, and i really need them to backup and they won't show up in iCloud Drive. I have checked the iCloud Drive settings and iMovie is checked and I have tried uploading it through the iMovie folder in iCloud website in the iDrive files and it won't work because it says the files must be in a format iMovie can open. I have also tried doing it through the iDrive folders on my Macbook and it still won't work. What is going on? Is my macbook broken, or something?

Looks like this has been solved by yesterdays IOS8 update - thanks!

IPOD 5th generation will not upload new games

I purchased a new game and it will not upload it on my IPOD. It says it needs the 1.2 version which it has.
I installed Itunes 7 and when the ipod is sync it says it's syncing software is version 1.2. I restored my IPOD and it still did not eliminate the problem.
I can not find a way to contact support. It keeps looping me to articles and will not give me an email address or phone number.
Someone please help.
PC Windows XP none

I finally got the answer in the Itunes discussion section.
You must "authorize" your PC to use games / music purchased from the Store.
Click on the "Store icon"
Go in "Store" -> "Authorize PC" It will authorize your IPOD to be able to load games. Otherwise, double-clic the image of the game between the Library column and the game description: a pop-up window will be prompted and you can authorize your pc.

Can anyone help me figure out how to sync my ipod with my purchased music? I have used several computer and at one point synced my ipod with a computer that only had about half of my music. My other computers are no longer working. Not sure how to get my purchased music back onto my ipod?

Hi kimcinma!
Your previous purchases are saved on iCloud even if you bought them on another computer. If you can't find them on your current computer, you might need to unhide them. Go to iTunes preferences, and click on Store Preferences. Then click the box for "show iTunes in the Cloud purchases". Then click on OK, and everything you've ever bought from iTunes on that Apple ID will show up in your library. You will need to download them from iCloud first before you can synch them to your iPod Classic. To do this, click on the little cloud with the arrow in it next to your song, and it will download to your computer. When you have the music that you want downloaded, plug in your iPod and synch away. Hope this helps!

IPhoto will not open. Error message says I must upgrade. But APP store says it is already installed?

iPhoto will not open. Error message says I must upgrade but the AppStore indicates that the newest version of iPhoto is installed so how can I upgrade and why did it stop working in the first place? What is the problem?

Hi Terence. I solved my problem. Apparently a 9.5.1 version of iPhoto was dowloaded, backed up on Ext Drive then deleted from the Mac HD...Leaving the old version 9.4.3 still resident on the Mac HD.
Thanks for responding.
