An mp3 file on my computer will not import to itunes by either the drag-and-drop or the Add File to Library method. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. My OS is Windows 7.

I purchased an mp3 from a private website on my laptop. The itunes library i sync ipod to is on my desktop, so i copied the mp3 onto a flash drive and then into my desktop in the Downloads folder and Desktop folder as well as the itunes music folder, 3 places. I opened itunes on the desktop and read the instructions for importing music that's already in my computer. Neither the drag-and-drop or the Add File to Library method works. I've tried both ways over and over. Cannot figure out what the problem is. I do note that the name of the mp3 file doesn't show the .mp3 extension, it appears as simply it's title, Eating Healthy, without any extension at all. Could the filename be the problem, or do you have any other idea what I'm doing wrong? My OS is Windows 7, using IE9. Thanks.
ADDENDUM AFTER READING ANOTHER DISCUSSION HERE: I have now tried right clicking the song in Windows Explorer and choosing Open With, clicking itunes. The mp3 plays in itunes but does not add to the library.

I don't have a Recently Added playlist. However, I discovered that the file I had named Eating Healthy was given the name You Can Enjoy Eating Healthy when it copied to iTunes. I'm guessing iTunes pulled the full name of the piece from the internet. Upshot--the mp3 did transfer to iTunes on all 3 tries, but I was looking in my alphabetized list under E, not Y, so I didn't see it there. Thanks for your help.

Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong

I'm using Studio 8 in Mac OS X (10.4.6). I've got some pdfs
uploaded to my site that are accessible through links one one of
the pages. I had to make changes to the pdfs and resave them. I
thought I uploaded them, but when I test the links it downloads the
old version and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Here's
what I did.
This may be a dumb way to do things, but I saved the new
version and then dragged into the server file in
user-->Library-->Application
Support-->Macromedia-->Dreamweaver
8-->Configuration-->ServerConnections-->unnamed
server-->public_html (this is where all the other files are).
When I go back into Dreamweaver and open the pdf listed in the
Files window on the right (by control-clicking and selecting Open
with-->Acrobat) the correct version appears. I thought maybe
there was a delay or something, but I've waited and still the old
version is what you get from the site.
Is there an easier way to do this, or is something wrong
maybe? Many thanks in advance.

Put the files in this Site's Local Site Folder.
If unsure of where you've specified this to be, look in this
site definition
(dw menu-->Sites-->Manage or Edit Sites)
If that path you've given above above is correct, it's
wrong....

I am having trouble connecting to the itunes store. i am connected to the computer and all the necessary information has been downloaded. i can't figure out what i am doing wrong or not doing

i am having problems with my ipod touch connecting to itunes. i have downloaded and still it says Cannot connect to iTunes Store.

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Go to Settings>Store and sign out of the account and then sign back in.

[unsolved] BCache issues - Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong

My setup is as follows:
SSD on /dev/sda
HDD on /dev/sdb
I'm doing a EFI setup, so basically I need nothing more that an ESP and ROOT partition on /dev/sdb. I don't mind too much if the ESP partition is cached, but I suspect that could cause problems.
There's really no need to cache ESP, so my approach have been to only cache the root partition:
make-bcache -B /dev/sdb2 -C /dev/sda
Which seem to work.
After this everything seems to go wrong. I've tried several different approached and following the arch, gentoo and the official guide, but regardless I continually stumble.
Following the arch guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bcache I run in to trouble already at step 3.
for i in /dev/sd*; do echo $i; echo $i > /sys/fs/bcache/register_quiet; done
But as I understand it, the fact that I can't write to register_quiet just mean that I don't need to. Well, that doesn't sound very sensible.
Apparently I can skip step 4., but even so I've tried different approaches as I said. However, no matter what I do, I end up missing /dev/bcache0, /sys/block/bcache0 or something similar, thus preventing me from continuing.
At this point I have no other options than to ask a few question here, and maybe get some advice.
1. In the case described, does sdb need to become backing device, or is it sensible to only make sdb2 (root) the backing device? [probably solved]
2. Assuming that sdb need to become the backing device, will EFI boot even be possible? [solved]
3. is btrfs a necessity, or is any file system in theory viable? [Suspect I don't need to use btrfs]
4. Whatever questions you may think I've left out. [still have issues]
Thanks and best regards.

Just a small update.
I think I did it mostly right on the last try, however, I couldn't boot:
Attempting to register /dev/sda with bcache
ash: write error: Invalid argument
Attempting to register /dev/sdb with bcache
ash: write error: Invalid argument
Attempting to register /dev/sdb1 with bcache
ash: write error: Invalid argument
Attempting to register /dev/sdb2 with bcache
ash: write error: Invalid argument
Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/bcache0 ...
ERROR: device '/dev/bcache0' not found. Skipping fsck
ERROR: Unable to find root device '/dev/bcache0'.
The only thing that comes to mind it that I made two boot entries with gummiboot, as I wasn't sure if I should define sdb2 or bcache0 as the root partition, but if that was the issue, I should at least get a boot menu I would think.
So that's how it is right now. I haven't got a clue what might be wrong.
Best regards.

Lord and baby Jeebus, I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Hello friends,
I stand before you, hat in hand, to admit to you todat that I cannot properly configure a simple home LAN. I am ashamed. I have already revoked my own man card.
Here's the skinny:
1. PIII HP laptop rockin' WinME
(Pause for laughter)
2. Dual G5 1.8 running 10.3.9
3. Linksys Wi Fi Router
4. Epson Photo Stylus 1280 connected via USB to the G5
5. Both computers are members of the WORKGROUP workgroup
There are three main problems I'm having:
-- First and foremost my printer does not appear in My Network Places or the Add Printer Wizard on the WinME laptop (but the Mac itself does). This is crucial, as my wife needs it for her school.
-- Second, I can access the Mac from the WinME laptop but not vice versa. Initially I was able to do it, but now I get the "Alias has been moved" error.
-- Third: Alcohol -- even in small doses -- severely inhibits my ability to play Prince of Persia. I'm not sure that you guys could help me with this one.
Other than that, everything's jus' peachy. Thanks a million.

placate - To allay the anger of, especially by making concessions; appease. See Synonyms at pacify.
I don't really follow you on "placate." I think "imprecate" may be more appropriate. In either case, I'm not blaspheming your Lord and savior. I am merely an idiot with bad judgement.
Since I'm pleading ignorance on a help forum, I paraphrased a Homer Simpson quote to highlight my own smoldering ignorance via parallel irony. He's dumb, I'm dumb and together we form a very stupid Voltron with limited cognative capacity.
If my rationale didn't make you comfortable, I'll go a step further and change the name of the topic. My only lament is that it may make even less sense now. See the subject line above.
If we can that episode is behind us, than I'd still like some help with this shared printer issue. Afterward we can find some other non-Abrahamic diety to disparrage -- Zeus perhaps? I don't think I've ever had anyone complain to me about a Zeus joke.

Question: I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong and would so appreciate help.

I really need help! I took on a project to produce free of charge an online publication for a non-profit nature club as they could not get anyone else. My background is in communications but not at the design or layout level. I bought InDesign and a how-to book and the first issue turned out quite well. However, I have run into a problem with this second issue that I can't get past and it has to do with the cover. I have a colour that works perfectly with the seasonal masthead and the cover photo and I want to apply it as the background for the cover page. I want the text box with the highlights of what's in the issue to appear on top of this background. I have tried two different ways to make this happen.
1. I made a text box to cover the entire space and applied the colour swatch. I already had the cover photo in place. Then I tried to add a text box so I could list the highlights. I couldn't type in it.
2. I went back to scratch and created the text box with the highlights. However, I don't see any way of applying the colour as the background below the masthead.
I have no idea how I got this to work with the first issue that I did in the spring, as you'll see from the second image attached.
Does this have to do with layers?
Thanks,
Karen

Thanks, Peter and tman69. I'm not quite there yet. The background colour is now in place and my image appears as it should be. However, something has happened to my text boxes. It looks like the text has disappeared, but when I extend the boxes, I see the words are pushed way below. How do I bring them back up? They still remain down at the bottom when I try extending the boxes.

HT1026 When I do this a copy is created, and when I try to move the old file to trash I get a warning that this clip will no longer be visible in my project. How do I make the drag and drop move the clip and not just make a copy?

In Imovie 2008 when I drag an event to another drive, the event is copied and not moved. Thereafter if I try to move the original clip to trash I anm warned the clip will no longer be accessible in the project it is linked to. How do I get to move the clip and keep it connected to the project?

I have iPhoto '09. The problem occurs when I try to move a photo from iPhoto onto a document or anywhere. I click on the photo and try to drag it to the document. When I do this a message box pops up saying that the file cannot be opened because it is empty. This only happens with a small number of photos but I just don't understand the fact that I can see these photos (and print them but only directly from iPhoto) but I can't do anything with them since, for some reason, the computer is seeing the file as empty.
Hope that helps. Thanks.

Just like the message says you need to
1) Declare it to be thrown or
2) Catch java.io.IOException.
For case one add throws java.io.IOException to your main:
public static void main(String[] args) throws java.io.IOException {For case two put your code inside of
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
     //your code here
   } catch (java.io.IOException ex) {
      ex.printStackTrace();
}

File can not be moved by drag and drop in the finder when not open Finder windows

With the operating system OSX Snow Leopard, it was possible, for example, a file from the desktop to pull drag and drop on the Finder icon, the page opened after a short and you could put the file in a folder.
At this stage I must first open the Finder to drag a file into the destination folder.
Is it a setting or is there anything wrong with my Mountain Lion properly?
It is often the case that several windows of other applications are open or in Fullscreen are, then I would, as I also already knew and am accustomed, for example a file regardless of the location from which drag drag and drop in the Finder without leaving the / program / site to open the Finder, before returning to the file then select I wanted to move.
Note: For all other programs it works.
Finder not only in where it makes the most sense.
   Picture 1: Finder window opens when you drag a file to the Finder icon
   Picture 2: Finder icon flashes but the Finder window does not open. Finder windows have previously by clicking on the icon in the Dock will be open to pull a      file into it.
   Thanks in advance for your help :-)

Yes, all I can tell you is that Finder does not have that function in ML. Your system is "working as expected".

Itunes won't add files or folders, also will not import

I have some songs on itunes, but now itunes won't add files or folders, also will not import at all.
I did an uninstall and reinstall but still does not work.
Can anyone help?

Ok. So its finally working again. Not sure why, but maybe my experience will help someone else.
All I can say is that I have been trying a relentless combination of mounting and mounting the drive, checking and unchecking the 'copy files to iTunes Library', running 'consolidate library', and everything in between. One of them finally kicked it back into action.
Nice Apple. 9.2.1 isn't buggy at all...that's sarcasm.

I keep getting this error in Dreamweaver when I am trying to upload my website? Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? here is the error message: /html - error occurred - Unable to create remote folder /html. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem. Make sure you have proper authorization on the server and the server is properly configured. File activity incomplete. 1 file(s) or folder(s) were not completed. Files with errors: 1 /html

Nobody can tell you anything without knowing exact site and server specs, but I would suspect that naming the folder "html" wasn't the brightest of ideas, since that's usually a default (invisible) folder name existing somewhere on the server and the user not having privileges to overwrite it.

Hello, My white McBook (2008 or 2009) recently stopped turning on. When I hook up the Magsafe power adapter, the light shows green, but the computer will not turn on, or make a sound. I've tried the re-boot option, but nothing works. Please advise!

Hello,
My white McBook (2008 or 2009) recently stopped turning on. When I hook up the Magsafe power adapter, the light shows green, but the computer will not turn on, or make a sound. I've tried the re-boot option, but nothing works. I first thought I needed a new battery because the lights at the back are all off, but shouldn't the computer turn on once the power adapter is hooked up and the light on the Magsafe adapter shows green? I'm a computer doofus, so please be kind. Please advise! Thanks in advance.

Take it in for service.

Only have 3 devices authorized, but my new computer will not authorize. Itune says there are 5 devices connected already. why?

Perhaps the five includes computers that you no longer own, or a computer that has had a replacement hard drive put in it.
In your iTunes account, De-authorise All and then authorise the computer(s) that you still use.

Our iphones will not connect to itunes so we cant update and sync. Anyone have suggestions. It looks like Itunes dosent recognize our devices all of a sudden.

Our IPhones will not conncect to itunes so we cant update and sync phones. Does anyone have suggestions. Its like itunes doesnt recognize our devices.

Choose your computer platform below:
