Can't Back-Up Music! ~ Please Help!
I've always been able to simply highlight my music library files and drag them over to a folder on my external HD but tonight I got this error message when I tried to back-up my music! I tried to close all programs and that didn't work, I then did a restart and still no luck. Anyone know what the deal is?
Ti PowerBook G4 1Ghz, 15.2 Mac OS X (10.4.3) SuperDrive, 1GB RAM
PBJ:
The drag and drop method of backing up files is not necessarily the best way to accomplish a very important task.
I strongly recommend downloading SuperDuper!. The free version lets you do a complete clone of all your data, or if you pay for the full version (a mere $20), you can script your backups and schedule routines so you never have to worry about losing your data.
I've been using SuperDuper for about 18 months to back up both my User files on my first internal drive and my music files on a second internal drive and it works flawlessly (and has saved my bacon on more than on occassion), and the latest version has a scheduling tool that is almost idiot proof.
Hope this helps,
Lita

Can't Import Purchased Music (please help an idiot)
Please let me start off by stating that I must I must be an idiot! What is supposed to be simple is driving me insane!!!! Here it is....
I have music on my work PC that I purchased from iTunes. I originally only used this PC for my iPod. I now have a PC at home and would like to transfer all the music purchased from iTunes on my work PC to the new, home PC and use the nome pc exclusively for my iPod.
I have transferred songs from my work PC onto a thumb drive but they will not import into the new PC. If I insert the thumb drive into the new pc, I can click and drag the songs to my new library and they will play when I click on them. However, if I remove the thumb drive and click on a "transferred song" it says file not found and places an exclaimation point in front of it. If i search for the songs and try to "Import" them from the thumbdrive, iTunes won't let me. At no point does iTunes ever ask me to "authorize" the new PC (to play the songs transferred from my work PC). I can find no method for authorizing the new PC to play the work songs.
I should mention that I did purchase several songs on the new from iTunes under a different account that I opened on the home PC and they play fine. The account that I have used on the work PC has three computers authorized (I should have 2 left). The account on the home PC has only one authorized computer.
What am I doing wrong????? I do have a graduate degree in engineering but I am over 40....Please take this this obvious mental deficiency into account when responding.
Thank you very much in advanceWelcome, David, to the Apple Discussions!
On your home computer, go to the iTunes Edit menu > Preferences > Advanced tab > General sub-tab and make sure that
i Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library is checked.
(That's the path in iTunes 5 and 6. If memory serves in 4 it was either the General tab or the Advanced tab under Preferences.)
Then you don't actually "import" the songs from your thumb drive. Rather go to the iTunes File menu > Add Folder to Library command and select your thumb drive.
Hopefully this will make things better. If not post back. -
Can't Find My Music--Please Help!
Okay, I recently used Music Brainz Tagger to correctly tag my music in my music folder, and now iTunes can't find ANY songs. Do I have to go through each song and individually relocate it? Please tell me no.
Okay, I got things fixed up. Thanks for the help, but I have encountered an error while uploading my music to my iPod (video). After uploading, I received this error:
"Attempting to copy to the disk "TYLERS IPO"* failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
However, I went through my iPod, and everything seems fine, it LOOKS like everything was uploaded correctly...what's up with that error?
*My name is Tyler, hence TYLERS IPO.
Edit: Upon further inspection, I have come to realize that NOT everything was uploaded, a few artists are missing! -
Used to have ios 7 betaon my i phone and downgraded to ios 6 so i can upgrade to the official ios 7 but i lost my pc back ups. Please help me
First off, Apple doesn't support downgrading and it can potentially brick your phone. With that being said, if you created a back up in iOS 7 Beta and are trying to restore it to iOS6, you wont be able to. You need to upgrade first then restore from your backup. Don't be suprised if it doesn't work. There is a very real possibilty you may have to start from scratch.

I have ipad 1 . And i want to update it from ios 4.3.5 to ios 7 but i can't why ?? Please help me becouse i can't download apps from app store !!!!!
I would suggust:
1 to create a big camera for i pads and ipods and iphones so we can put it in another ipad or ipod or iphone and it has a zoom lens
2 when i downloaded photos and music from a computer to my ipad , i cant delete them now plese do the itunes like samsung becuz samsung have an easier way to download thing from computer
I hope to help me with my poblome and fix it please !!??
And i hope to take my suggusts and make me happy becouse apple it is cooler from samsung
Apple the best
H.MThe iPad 1 can't run the newer operating systems. It'd be like trying to play a bluray disc in your 6 year old dvd player....it simply lacks the hardware to make the software run.
No suggestion about the camera, but given that Apple's attitude seems to be to focus more on the more mobile devices for photography (the iPhone and Touch cameras got features, the iPad and mini didn't), that is highly unlikely. You can tell Apple what you want, but you'd probably be money ahead to get a digital camera.
as to the photos, anything put on via iTunes has to come off via iTunes.Your main alternative would be to look for photo apps that offer file exchange that may give you more functionality. -
I cracked my screen. I want to use other monitor which I had one. I bought an Apple Mini-DP to VGA adapter. It worked. It means I can see ADDITIONAL screen. However I want to use this monitor for the main screen. How can I do?? Please help.
You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the monitor. In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the monitor and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the monitor your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.

In my icloud account on my iphone I have three ios devices. How do I manage the backup of my old phone ? I dont want to detete that backup completetly, just manage that phone back up ? Please help!
It will be backed up on your computer and can later be restored to an iOS device using iTunes, if desired. Of course, if your hard drive crashes you'll lose it if it isn't backed up somewhere else. If you want to included it in your computer backup, it will be located at one of the following locations:
Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
Windows XP: %AppData%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows Vista: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows 7: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup -
I bought an iphone 5 from apple store in Geneva to use in Turkey. But it is sim-locked. What can I do now. Please help urgently.
Return it to the store where you purchased & get your money back. Either that, or call the store. No one here can help you, as there is no one from Apple here.

I rented a movie and it shows up in my iTunes "Rented" section, but when I click to play it, it gives me an error message saying the movie can't be played because the original file can't be found. Please help!
Never mind I fixed it. Just in case anyone else has this problem, after you reinstall iTunes you have to delete all your old music, and if you have iTunes match all the songs you have saved on itunes match will display and you just have to download them to your Macbook.
