Attempting to transfer music files directly from iTunes to backup drive and get the the item can't be replaced because it's invisible. Its amazing how when something works flawlessly, Apple has to screw it up.  Never saw this until the new iTunes.

Hate it! Anywaze, suggestions welcome that can permanently remedy the issue without having to go through file by file, song by song to make copies, renaming, resetting, etc.  Thanks so much.

Are you dragging the entire iTunes folder across in Finder (which is easiest)?

  • I deleted a specific file folder from my Seagate backup drive, via Time Machine. Instead of only deleting that file, it deleted ALL my files for that date.

    1. Why? I was quite obviously selecting one file folder ONLY.
    2. Is there any way to retrieve the lost items?
    3. How do I avoid this happening in the future?

    Never had any issues while deleting specific files/folders from a time machine backup.
    However, regarding the original post, what do you mean by "file folder"? Did you select a FILE for deletion, or a FOLDER? These two terms tend to be quite different, you know.
    If you selected a FOLDER, then ALL FILES inside the folder have been deleted. If you selected a single FILE, then only that file should have been deleted. "Delete all backups of..." is a completely different story.

  • Attempting to install iTunes Version 10.5 and getting Invalid Signature. Can someone please help???

    I am attempting to install iTunes Version 10.5. I am getting the following messages...
    "Files shared by these updates" has an invalid signature. It will not be installed.
    "iTunes" has an invalid signature. It will not be installed.
    "Safari 5" has an invalid signature. It will not be installed.
    I somehow got around this annoying "invalid signature" problem before by installing the iTunes update through the Apple site.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    When I tried that, now I get...
    "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured. Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified. Please run the installer again, or click Finish to Exit"
    All this to get the latest iPhone software. And every blessed time I go to Sync my iPhone, I run into iTunes issue on my Dell PC here. I guess PC and Mac just cannot play well together.
    Can someone PLEASE help me out here???
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi. I also had this problem when trying to connect a new iPhone 4S & it needed iTunes 10.5. Went to the Apple website as update section of iTunes was not getting any luck - went to downloads section of Apple website & downloaded the whole iTunes 10.5 program as though I did not have it in the first place (& also downloaded the programs for Quicktime 7.7.1 & Safari 4.0.3) ie not just the upgrades. I created a restore point in my Windows XP in case it all went pear shaped & then went ahead & installed all 3 programs. Opened iTunes at the end & all my music, apps, movies were all still there & now the new iPhone 4S works perfectly with the iTunes. Hope this helps.

  • Printing to a PDF file directly Using Adobe's Printer driver and NO GUI

    We are on Oracle 10G running Oracle Forms/Reports 6i.
    I would like to be able to run Oracle Reports directly to a PDF file using Adobe's pdf driver and not oracle's pdf driver (not happy with it). (This can be done easily enough) using Adobe's PDF Converter as the Printer.
    My additional requirement is to provide the output filename to the Adobe's pdf driver and have the report be executed without any user intervention. How do I do this?
    Thanks

    Not following asking for more????
    I just want to create pdf files with Oracle Reports (not using the Oracle PDF driver) but using one I have and the I will process these PDF files using my own utilities.

  • How do I delete a folder that I moved to Trash from my external backup drive when a virus was detected? Trash will not delete the folder.

    I have tried unsuccessfully to remove a folder from Trash. My anti-virus program (Sophos) detected a virus which had to  be manually removed. I tried (unsuccessfully) to find and remove the infected file. I moved the Folder from my external backup drive and placed it in Trash. Now I cannot get Trash to delete the folder. It asks me if I wish to delete "unlocked" or "all" items. Either selection does not delete the folder. I went to change the permissions to "read & write" and unlocked the folder, but it is still there. I tried to "move" the folder from Trash back to the external harddrive but it seems I can only "copy" it and not "move" it. I am afraid that by copying it, I will not have the folder in two locations (Trash & External HD).
    Would appreciate any suggestions and guidance on this. I hope that I have explained the problem clearly!
    Thank you!

    Before deleting it we should know more about this folder and its contents.
    If it is invected and is using other apps, or other apps are still using it, then it cannot be deleted in the normal manner.
    You might contact Sophos and ask them about it.
    If you are using TM or have a backup of your system before the infection occurred, then you can delete the item(s) in Trash, but there is the possiblity of system corruption and the need for a reinstall, if any of these files are necessary for the OS to work properly, even though they are infected.
    Sophos may not have been able to remove the infection from inside a file which is why they suggested manual removal.
    You might consider downloading and running ClamXav first and see if it can't do better than Sophos.
    All that being said, you can always remove the contents of the Trash using the terminal. Usually as administrator, or in some cases as root (su). Unless you are very familiar with the terminal I do not suggest doing this without some study.

    That version cannot be upgraded further if it's a 2G model. The 3G model can be upgraded to iOS 5.x.x. You can't have a 2G model because the maximum iOS version is 4.2.1.

    You need to visit that link on your N900, not your PC. Tap the green download arrow and app manager will start and automatically download and install it.
    Or try going to X-Terminal on your N900, become root and then type:
    apt-get install petrovich
    Either one of those methods will install it.

  • How do I extract my music files from a evternal hard drive and put them on my itunes?

    how do I extract my music files from a evternal hard drive and put them on my itunes?

    If you used the Finder to move the files, iMovie will have lost track of them. iMovie holds the locations of the Event files, and Project files contain references to those locations. If you move the files, iMovie has no way of knowing where they are.
    If you can, first move all the files back to their original locations. Plug in the external drive. Open iMovie and move the files in iMovie's interface (help explains how, but basically, just drag and drop in the event pane).
    Then you can connect the drive to the new computer, and iMovie will see them.
