Can anyone tell me how to backup my iTunes library to my computer (not an external).I am running 10.6.8.
Help! I just realized my iTunes is not backed up. I need to find a way to back it up to the hard drive on my computer (not hard drive). I want to put it there so it backs up to my carbonite. . . .
I suppose nobody is answering this because we are puzzed. iTunes is an application. It works with library files and media files. All these things are on your computer. If they aren't there then they aren't "iTunes". So what exactly is it you are trying to back up and where is it? Are these Cloud files, or on an i-device? If so, you need to specify.
You can "back up" your iTunes files to the same hard drive (duplicate the whole iTunes folder). This may help in a minor way in case of file corruption, but loss danger is more likely from fire, theft, or drive failure which will take out the same drive holding the backup files.

can anyone tell me how to restore my itunes library and playlists? After I downloaded mountain lion my library is missing and my devices can be synced to only one library ...the missing one
That .itl file actually is the library -- at least the critical part of it although the library is actually many files and folders.
Try starting iTunes and immediately hold down the option key. When it asks, guide it to the .itl file.
It's really hard to say without being able to poke around your computer. Upgrading should not delete the old library, but still it happens to the very, very few which is why we make backups before updating. If the old library file is gone then so are your playlists. You can always see if the following is of any use:

I used a terminal command in Lion to show the LIbrary in the Users folder, and now the Finder is behaving erratically, hanging up and becoming almost paralyzed. Can anyone tell me how to reverse the terminal command for show Library. The command I used was:
chflags nohidden ~/Library/Showing the Library folder will not cause the problem you've described. Nevertheless:
chflags hidden ~/Library
will hide the folder. To reveal the folder:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Note, there is no "/" after Library. -

Hello Please can anyone tell me how to access and transfer my iTunes library from a pc I no longer have to another laptop? Thank you
You cannot. Your library is on that computer. If you do not have that computer, then you do not have the library.
Have you failed to maintain a backup copy?
If so, not good, you can redownload some iTunes purchases in some countries. Click Purchases under Quick Links in the iTunes store. -

I am currently using iPhone 3GS and when I am going to download foursquare which is a FREE application in the App Store, it came up with a message saying Verification Required which means I need to pay for it. Can anyone tell me how to solve the problem? For further informations, I am currently using Windows running Vista. Special thanks to those who replied.
Your iTunes account sounds like it does not have a credit card or payment attached to it. Even free apps require that you have entered payment information even though you won't be charged for the app.

Every time I use my I pad it keeps popping up with enter my iTunes password. I have nothing waiting to download and not trying to purchase anything yet every time I want to listen to music or use my apps this happens. Can anyone tell me how to stop this?
If you get an error that says can't backup, try moving the existing backup file to a safe location and thry again. again. You can find the location of the backup file here:

Can anyone tell me how to delete previous "keep file" files? Im trying to free up some space on my mac.
You can upgrade to Mavericks free, just run the App Store program and search for Mavericks. But before you do upgrade I recommend the following:
1) make sure you have a recent backup. TimeMachine is fine.
2) Mavericks is somewhat more memory hungry than 10.7 was. You will need 4 GB of RAM and I strongly recommend 8 GB.
Go back to the Apple menu and select About this Mac - look under the OS info you just looked at. You'll see how much RAM your computer has now. Then click on the More Info button. There you will see your computer info listed as in: iMac, 21.5" mid 2010, for example. Return back with that information and we can tell you how far the computer can be upgraded.
If you decide to procede and you have enough RAM upgrading to Mavericks is quite simple. Click on the download button and let it do its job. -

For gmail there are no settings to change, you can access gmail from any browser just by going to the gmail site and logging in.
The [[Firefox will not start]] article should help with the problem you are having with Firefox. -
I am new to Mac Pro and am purchasing one online tonight. Can anyone tell me how to get my information - Itunes, photos, and videos transferred onto the Mac from my Toshiba. the state I live in doesn't have an Apple store but I could take it to Minneapolis when I go. Any ideas where to begin?
You might profit from a visit to a Minneapolis Apple store. With a brand new Mac, I think they will be most helpful - not just with transferring files, but with other advice as well. And I strongly recommend you invest in a back up drive. The Apple folk can help with that as well.

Can anyone tell me how to I get an old account information and recorded messages from a conversation
I am totaly confused by eircom and efibre.......last year I was in arrears with eircom to the tune of( as I thought) of €357.66and I was disconnected but in the long run I got a huge bill in my door of €656.48 , when I had to the money to pay the original amount, I was put through to efibre who told me that remaining amount of €298.77 shouldnt have been on my account and they would take it off I was also given a new account and phone number. I have now got several bills from my old account plus a letter from a company called BCW (debt collectors) who are treathening to take legal proceeding against me...... can anyone tell me how do I get my old account information and that conversation I had that day??
Thanks Tracey,I got a letter from the debt collectors BCW on Thursday to say if I didn't respond to that letter within 5 days they were going to take legal proceeding against me. 10 minutes from receiving the letter I got a call from BCW to say that eircom had been in touch with them to say the issue has been resolved and that I don't owe the money,I am now waiting on a letter from BCW to tell me same so as I have it in writing. So hopefully that is the end of the issue, Many thanks Confused 1

Hi there, i'm new to the iPHONE community and please can someone tell me how to backup my phone to iCLOUD. How do i connect with wi-fi. Must i buy a wi-fi connetion or what.Thank you kind regards
Do you have a wi-fi network in your home ? If you do then you should be able to connect your phone to it via Settings > Wi-Fi on your phone - that should show any networks that are available, and tapping on the network that you want to use (and typing in its password if it's password protected) should connect the phone to it. If you don't have a wi-fi network then yes, you will need wifi router in your home, which is connected to the internet (e.g. via your phone line) to be able to back up your phone to iCloud.
