7.3 Upgrade - Won't save any new music

I have just upgraded to version 7.3 but an error message has come up saying library cannot be saved (-50). I have tried to download again but same message occurs.
It won't allow me to save any new music to the library.
Has anyone else come across this and does anyone know how to solve it.

I have exactly the same problem. Every time I start the program It tries to dreate the library and then gives the message "The i tunes library cannot be saved an unknown error occurs (-50) I'm sorry I upgraded and wish I could go back.
Hopefully someone will find an answer. Otherwise I guess I don't buy any more itunes which would make my wife happy!

ICal won't save any new events

Hello,
iCal worked fine for a time, but now I can enter as much events as I want, it forgets everyone once I shut down iCal. If I just close the window (so that the light still glows under the symbol in the dock) the program remembers the newly entered events.
I'm not sure, but I upgraded 10.5. to 10.6.2. snow leopard on my MacBook a few days ago - so maybe the events won't be saved since I installed 10.6. and the problem is connected with 10.6.
Events I entered in the past, are being remembered finely. And I have full write and read rights in the specific events-folder.
I found this problem often on google, but no one seems to have a solution but to deactivate the birthday-abonnement, which I don't want to. I didn't find this problem in this forum - if it exists, please just delete this thread and show me the other one.
Thank You for answering,
schut

schut,
...when I export as .ics-file I get all my events back by importing and when I use .icbu-files I don't.
That is the reason that I urged you to export individual calendars. That procedure will usually work for the .ics files if the .icbu is unsuccessful.
...One is called "Calendar sync Changes" (although I don't sync my calendar with anything?). Of course I deleted everything, but I wanted to report this either.
I do not know why it reappears, but surmise that attempting to subscribe to birthdays may create the folder.
...When I log in again and start iCal it has the event-groups "test", "Privat" and "Buero" (=office or something like that in English). Is this normal although I deleted all the stuff You said?
Those two calendars (Work/Home)will automatically be created the first time iCal opens without any data. You can delete them without consequence.
...By the way, is there no way/program with that I can uninstall iCal (and maybe reinstall)?
I have found that individual application reinstallation rarely, if ever solves the type of problems which you are experiencing.
...Or is there maybe a known problem in the address-book program from which is not known that it can conflict with the iCal also?
I am not aware of a "known problem," but do agree that there may be a corrupt address card.
I would agree with your plan, as long as you are willing to manually recreate your Address Book entries.
Good Luck!

Firefox search box no longer displays any search engines and won't save any new ones

A while back the default search box in firefox 4 randomly lost all the search engines in it and the box to restore defaults is permanently greyed out so I can't restore it. I've tried deleting the files mentioned in other responses as well as just moving them out of the folder with no success. I feel that the only way to possibly fix this is to completely remove all traces of firefox from my laptop and reinstall but i'd rather not go through reinstalling all the add ons I have etc if it can be helped with a simpler fix.

I said in my initial post that I had tried all those fixes. Tried everything with the sqlite files and the form history. No luck. Don't have either of the extensions and it can't be any of the others as even in safe mode it still isn't any different. I have also performed plenty of virus scans and nothing has come up.

Updated to Mountain Lion, Macbook Pro Won't save any app preferences

My wife has a 2009 Macbook Pro. We recently upgraded it to Moutain Lion, and now we are having quite a few issues. Additionally, we upgraded to MS Office 2011 from 2008. Anytime we open most applications, no preferences have saved, and it goes through the process of opening the application for the first time. For example, the only way to open a word document (previously created in 2008) is to open Word 2011, go through the registration process where it tells us the product is already registered, then it opens a blank document. Once the blank document is open, you can click on the saved document again, then it will open. If you close the application, you have to go through this process all over again. This same thing happens for all products in the MS suite.
Additionally, firefox will not work at all. whenever I click on it, the icon just pops up and down and nothing happens. Their troubleshooting is telling us to create a user profile (which I have) under he application support folder, but the folder is gone after the update. Additionally, deleting and re-installing the application has not solved the problem. Additionally, Safari won't save any preferences.
Also, she is the only user account on the computer.
Any help would be great!

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Acrobat won't save any more links in a PDF. Why?

I am adding links to a PDF file. I have done several, including the index of the file. Acrobat won't save any more though. Why?

Sara,
The Save As allows me to save the changes, but the regular save will still not function. I seem to recall a similar issue with the last version of this document, with a similar number of links.
Thanks,

Ive followed all the hints on your website i still cannot save any new bookmarks

ive followed all the hints on your website i still cannot save any new bookmarks, i have a new mac book pro, worked fine no doesnt save bookmarks, verrrrrry annoying!

Hi eddpie,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I personally would suggest the option to save your iTunes library to an external drive -- because it creates an important backup, and copies the library to your new computer.
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527?viewlocale=en_US
External drive
This option requires more work than Home Sharing, but it creates a backup of your iTunes library on the external drive in addition to moving your content.
Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats). Because of this, you can't use a Mac-formatted iPod or external drive to move your music to a Windows PC.
Mac OS X can read Windows-formatted iPods and drives. This means there are many ways to migrate your information from your old Windows-based PC to your new Mac.
Mac OS X: To be sure external drives appear on your desktop, choose Preferences from the Finder menu. Be sure the options for "External disks" and "Hard disks" are enabled.
Part 1: Locating and consolidating the iTunes Media folder
Part 2: Copy iTunes folder from the old computer:
Part 3: Get iTunes ready on your new computer
Part 4: Back up any music that's already on your new computer
Part 5: Copy music to your new computer
Part 6: Add preexisting music that was on the new computer back into the library
I hope this information helps ....

My iphone is registered to my old macbook. How do I link it to my new computer? I can't add any new music to it.

My iphone is registered to my old macbook. How do I link it to my new computer? I can't add any new music to it.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Since updating itunes to version 10 my ipod classic will not sync any new music that I have added to itunes, can anyone help

I recently updated iTunes to version 10.3.1.55. Since then when I try to sync my IPod classic it says on the top of iTunes (where the barbers pole is) "Step 1of1 Determining Tracks to Sync". This stays like that for about 15 minutes before a message pops up saying "Itunes could not copy ""song title name here"" to the Ipod because an unknown error occurred (-50)". This message pos up for every song title that has been added to itunes since the itunes update. Therefore I am unable to sync any new music. This only happens when syncing the ipod as the iphone syncs with no problems.
Does any one have a solution?

There's a good guide here on how to roll back to 10.7 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4559563?tstart=0

Is your music from Itunes? If it's not that's probably why

When synching my ipod 80 gig classic, I get this message " iPod cannot be synched. A duplicate file name was specified" And yet, any new music in iTunes is added. What causes this message?

Try deleting the iPod Photo Cache from the nominated folder that you have set up to sync photos to the devices.
See iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder for more info.

I lost my bookmarks and I am unable to save any new ones.

I re-installed FF3.6 and lost my bookmarks. I also cannot add any new bookmarks I did this 4 times and gave up and I unfortunately deleted my default user files so I cannot restore from the automatic bookmark backups. I had backed up my bookmarks to a flash drive. The bookmarks are all there and in HTLM form. I tried to restore from this backup but can't do it.
I know I have made a mess but I was thoroughly pissed off. I had also tried to come here but my password could never be changed so I couldn't ask a question. It was finally changed an hour ago.
If someone has any suggestions I would be grateful. I had tried FFv4 bur Roboform does not work there and I am not going to start paying them $20/year just because they won't update their plug-in.
Thank you very much for any help.

Thank you for answering. I think I have the log in problem fixed at least for today.
I have tried to import a copy of my bookmarks from a flash drive but it won't work. I think I have to make a new profile. When I looked at the old profile there weren't any bookmarks in the folder. If I do start a new profile would I be able to import my html copy of bookmarks? I am getting so frustrated and having to use IE doesn't help matters. I know the support for FF 3.6 is short lived but roboform will not work in FF 4 and I haven't tried FF5 but I assume it would be the same. They just want to make the older versions a thing of the past so they can charge the $20/mo. and I don't want to do that. But I may be forced to. I could change to another like LastPass but I don't really know anything about that one. I really need a password manager for my iphone. Sorry if I have asked about more than one problem but I really want to keep using FF.
Thanks for any help.

I recently tried to change a sved password for my Exchange Server email account, by deleting the site from my "Saved Passwords" tab in the Tools-Options-Security page. Now this web page won't save any entered data.

I wanted to change my password for logging in to my work email address. The site was not prompting me to change it automatically, so I manually removed it from the list in the TOOLS-SECURITY-OPTIONS page. Now this site won't retain any kind of entered data, such as addresses that I compose emails to very regularly.
How can I get this site back on the list that will save passwords? I've tried re-starts, log-out and back in, etc, and it won't prompt me to save a password.

Updated iPhone 4 to latest ios7 and now my camera won't save any photos to my albums

Updated my iPhone 4 to the latest ios7 and now my camera won't save photos to my albums? How do I fix that?

Okay, mine now works here is what I did.
plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
in iTunes select the phone or iPad
Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
Now check them both back on and everything should copy back onto it.
Working now !!!!!
