Can anyone suggest why? my software up to date..thanks
Hi there there is no icloud icon in my apple preferences. my icloud storage has run out and I need to upgrade or delete something! any help appreciated
iCloud will only show up in your prefences after you up date you system to OSX 10.7 or newer. However, you may manage your iCloud from your iPod (or any other iOS device) via Settings, iCloud settings.
I hope this works.

have tried to copy ratings over to a new computer using the export playlist function and this fails... can anyone suggest why?
Because ratings don't travel with the files or the playlist.
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

Can anyone suggest why bridge cc stopped creating previews?
I was reviewing around 5,000 photos over the weekend, and everything went fine right up until late on Sunday when bridge just stopped creating previews. It's not the end of the world, as it creates it pretty fast when I click on the photo, but it is annoying.
You can see on the screenshot below, that it's creating 100% previews for about half of this folder, and then it's created none after this. Not in this folder and not in any others either. It also won't update any previews after I've done work in Camera Raw.
I've tried purging the cache, looking for updates, and restarting the machine - none of which has helped.
Anyone else have any suggestions?
Machine: Windows 7, Dual Xeon, 64GB RAM, 160GB of space left on scratch/cache disk array - exibiting no other faults.Some have the black border around to indicate that no preview has been created, and even when I manually click on them a preview is created and discarded. The thumbnails are not updated to reflect any editing changes either - as the nef and jpgs should actualy be the same.
I do occasionally get a message that there's no space on that drive to export thumbnails, but there's 1.6 TB free on there at the moment! -
Iphoto keeps crashing...can anyone suggest why?
I have been successfully downloading photographs from my Nikon D80 to iphoto5 on my mac mini for months. (There are only around 1300 photos saved on at any one time...and I'm only trying to download 30 from the camera) Suddenly, I find that the photos start to download perfectly normally, and then iphoto crashes! I've retried, rebooted...all that good stuff, but no difference! I tried downloading them onto a different mac and they downloaded perfectly...so it's nothing to do with the camera.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.8)Neeca,
Try not to worry about the folders you see inside the iPhoto library folder when you look at it from the Finder. It can be disconcerting, but iPhoto has filed your photos into the structure so that it can access them when you use iPhoto. The concept of iPhoto is that you view and access your photos from within iPhoto, and let it take care of the file management.
If you have located your original iPhoto Library folder (without the _1 in the name) then this is the one you want iPhoto to open. Hold down the Option key while launching iPhoto. When you are prompted to create or choose a library, click "Choose Library." Use the next window to navigate to the iPhoto Library folder (probably Home/ Pictures/ iPhoto Library). With the iPhoto Library folder selected, click the Open button.
Does your original library then open in the same condition it was in before you created the new one? Can you see your photos in the viewing window? If so, good - you are back to where you started. Close iPhoto. Hold Option and Command while launching iPhoto. Select the first 3 options in the dialog box and let iPhoto rebuild its database. This should help with the crashing.
If your library does not look the way it did before, then you have made changes to the folders or files from the Finder. You'll have to undo those changes. The random photos and numbered folders all over the place are the way iPhoto catalogs your library. Changing them from the Finder breaks the links between your photos and the database, so that iPhoto has lost track of your photos. If you can't put things back as they were, you will have to create and populate a new library. You will lose all of your Albums, keywords, ratings, and other organizational efforts.
Post back with results, and we'll help you get your library up and running. -
Can anyone suggest why Dev Studio can't see the server engine
We have NW2004s/SP08 installed. The server J2EE engine runs fine and one can log into the server and succssfully deploy jar's directly to it.
We also have Dev Studio installed on a desktop and it works fine. We have our J2EE preferences set using the actual IP address of the server J2EE engine and port number 3061. (We can ping this IP address successfully.)
When we try to do a Deploy/Run from Dev Studio and monitor this attempt on the server side, we can see Dev Studio trying to connect.
But it doesn't connect. In Dev Studio, we just get a message saying "sdmhost empty or unknown".
What's missing in our config? It was set up for us by externals no longer here. Since we can successfully ping the IP of the server from the PC, and since we can see DevStudio trying to connect, it can't be a network connectivity problem.
Thanks for any suggestions as to where to look/what to do.Pascal -
I am indebted to you for your kindness in taking the time to answer such a trivial question.
I assume that because the client is now asking me for the SDM password, your solution is correct. (It didn't ask me for a password before - I just got the error message.)
So I've tagged your reply for 10, even though I don't know the password so can't completely confirm yet.
I'll cycle back and confirm once I have the password.
Thanks very much again.

Since upgrading to Windows 8, Firefox locks up when I try to use it, can anyone suggest why please?
We had to download Firefox once we had installed Windows 8. Although we now have a Firefox tile on the new Windows desktop, to enable access to Firefox, whenever we click on it to go to Firefox, we get the option to select Firefox as our default browser. Whether we say Yes or No, the screen then locks up and we have to use Control, Alt and Delete to close it.
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

HT5622 I charged my Ipad mini overnight and now it does not turn on at all. Can anyone suggest why?

Lately my magic mouse has been losing its connection quite randomly. It usually reconnects soon after. I bought a cheap USB mouse to keep me going during these unexpected down-times. The batteries are fresh and the switch is on. I've uninstalled and re-installed the mouse in Bluetooth, but the problem recurs.
Try a PRAM reset. That usually helps bluetooth problems.

There are some other causes relating to rechargable batteries, see this thread:

I am putting together a proposal for a Final Cut Pro Workstation to use with a tapeless HD camera. Can anyone suggest the best camera (in the 5-10,000 dollar range) ? What hardware and software should I include in the package?
This is quite an open suggestion, but here are some ideas which might get you started. There are good HD cameras in your price range from Sony, Panasonic and Canon (and maybe other manufacturers). Tapeless formats vary. I have only worked with Sony XDCAM which seems pretty good to me. File sizes for material shot at 35MBS are not too huge and, with the free Sony transfer and conversion programme, are easy to bring into the computer via USB direct from the camera or from a fairly inexpensive converter. The Sony XDCAM EX3 can produce results well up to broadcast quality.
As to hardware, you'll need a powerful MAC - iMac, Macbook Pro or MacPro with 4GB or more of RAM and a good video card. Softwarewise, FCPX is quite a bit cheaper than FC Studio 3 and of course it's 64bit and can make better use of multi-core machines than FCP7. It's also designed to handle HD formats with less hassle than FCP7 and is matched to the latest versions of Motion and Compressor. But you'd probably be wise to search reviews of FCPX before you make your choice - it has some issues.
A good HD monitor will be essential and, for colour correction etc, you may want to consider a second monitor or HD TV foe editing. ( A MacPro is generally the best machine to connect a second monitor to).
This should give you a good editing system, but there are many other things you could add (Photoshop, professional sound monitors, etc)
Hope this helps a bit.

I have a .avi file that is not playing. It keeps telling me additional software is needed. I have Mac OS X 10.6.8. Can anyone explain why?
Because there's no codec installed on your system for that specific AVI, and there may be no Mac OS X component for it. Try installing Perian.

I just purchased an HP All-In-One and when I went to download software it said my Mac didnt support it to contact HP. When I contacted HP they wanted me to pay to set up my computer so the machine would work. I contacted Apple and the agent told me to take it back and get either Epson or Canon as HP is not always Mac friendly can anyone suggest a good Epson or Canon All In One. Thanks for your help..this HP is going back.
You will probably value these features:
1. Decent speed
2. Reliability
3. Low cost of operation
4. Wireless usage
5. Strong printing quality
Epson withdraw support for my old printer, so I've stayed with Canon - who regularly updates its drivers. The Canon MX 892 has been getting strong reviews for print quality, speed, and special features. Refills, through a third-party vendor, can be very reasonable; so the liberal use of ink probably won't be a major concern (unless you choose to stay with the Canon-branded ink). Price is as low as $139, new, and about $100 used. -

I'm travelling and trying to back up my new iPhone to iCloud. I have sufficient storage, am connected to wifi and it's plugged into a power source and yet it doesn't seem to work at all. I'm currently in India. Could that be the cause or can anyone suggest any reason why this wouldn't work?
"gets stuck" - are there any error messages?
If you get the error "Backup not successful" and you've tried deleting the last backup and trying to back up manually without luck, try the following test: Go to...
Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options. Turn off all apps from backup and then do a manual backup. If that doesn't work, then this post will not help. If the backup works, then go back to the app list and turn some on and try another backup. If successful, keep repeating these steps. If it fails at some point, then try to zero in on the one app that seems to make the backup fail. (I had this problem and found one app failing, probably due to a corrupt data file.)
This process will take time, but if a backup works with no app data being used but clearly fails with the original settings, then somewhere in the mix of apps is a "bad" one.
