Can't find songs in their folders after one of the latest updates.

After either the latest or 2nd to last update, I couldn't find any of my songs that were in their original folders. (I had this problem for a while now, but never got around to looking for help on this forum.) What I mean by "original folders" is: after opening "Libraries > Music > iTunes > iTunes Media, I opened the folder of each artist and each album but could never find any songs. Anyone have this happen to them?

Itunes is using your songs from the storage device - the library contains pointers to the tracks there.
You need to check in your iTunes Music folder on your c: drive, are you music files there?
If they are, close iTunes then drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml to your desktop.
Open iTunes and an empty libary is created. Now use File>>Add folder to library to add your iTunes Music folder to iTunes.
If The files were not copied - i.e. they are not in your iTunes Music folder.
Go to Edit>>Preferences>>Advanced>>General and check "Copy to iTunes Music Library when adding to Library".
Now Close iTunes and do the same dragging thing with the library files.
Open iTunes and use File>>Add folder to Library to add the music folder on the external storage device. This should copy the files for you.

I have a library of nearly 2000 songs and all of which were purchased/downloaded in their entirety. It seems that after one of the iTunes updates… many (not all, but plenty) of those songs were “cut off” after playing about 2/3 through them… I haven’t gone through the entire library to see which are complete and which were cut off, but hoped this is “known problem” and hopefully with a known “fix”… Make sense?
Please advise…

After I installed the latest update, MSVCR80 was not installed and itunes will not work

After I installed the latest updat to itunes, it did not install properly. I received the following messages:
Service "Apple Mobile Devise (Apple Mobile Devise) failed to start. verify that you have sufficent privileges to start system services Abort, Retry, Ignore
Itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)
When I click on the itunes icon, I get the following message:
The computer can not start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your compyter. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

I've revised my advice slightly...
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall go to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP
HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above then search the computer for copies of the file QTMovieWin.dll - you should only have one copy in the relevant folder for your system.
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support (32-bit Windows)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support (62-bit Windows)
Delete any others and not only should this fix the problem, but prevent it from recuring on subsequent updates.

So what? The second-hand shop you bought it from didn't follow the right procedures. You also didn't follow the right procedures to make sure that iPhone was not in Activation Lock. It's like buying a car for cash but not getting the title signed over to you. It's not your car if you don' have the title. And that's not legally your iPhone if the previous owner's Apple ID is still registered to the device for Find My iPhone/Activation Lock.
Only a proof of purchase from the ORIGINAL retail store would do any good at all. Return the device to where you bought it and demand your money back. If they refuse, either get a lawyer and/or turn in the device to local police. If you're in possession of stolen property, then the cops won't care about where you got it from.

I have an iPad 1 and after I got the latest update for keynote and Now it crashes every time I try to open it

I have an iPad 1 and after I got the latest update for keynote and Now it crashes every time I try to open it

Do you have iOS 5.1.1 on your original iPad? If not update the iOS.
You might also try quitting the app and then reset the pad.
Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
Still no joy? Delete the Keynote app, reset the iPad and then reinstall Keynote. You will not have to pay for downloading it again.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

I lost all my bookmarks after i installed the latest update

hi i updated to the latest update of firefox which is 23.0.1 adn i have lost al my bookmarks, i have tried to restore them but i dont have any data on the bookmark backup file, if it helps i installed aurora after i updated and then uninstalled it and after i rebooted my computer al my data on firefox was lost

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#w_fix-the-bookmarks-file
You should be cautious to use your default profile with other (development) versions.
Did you uninstall that Aurora version?
If you did then I hope that you didn't remove your personal data because that will have removed all Firefox profile folders.

Firefox freezes when I load new pages into new tabs. This started a few weeks ago after I downloaded the latest update to firefox, currently running 7.0.1

After installing the latest update to Firefox a couple of weeks ago, loading new pages into new tabs takes a very very long time IF the page loads at all. I usually have to close the original tab to get the new tabs to load their pages. Sometimes I have to close all Firefox windows and start over to get the page I want to load.
This only started after downloading and installing this new update. I had no problem with new pages/tabs with previous versions.
I have rebooted, run full scans with Spyware Doctor, Malwarebytes and McAfee without solving the problem.

I keep getting prompted to enter my Apple ID and password numerous times daily on both my iPad and iPhone. This started happening after I installed the latest update. Any suggestions?

Ever since installing the latest update to iOS 7.1.2 I am prompted numerous times daily to enter my Apple ID and password. I am having the same issue on my iPad 2 and my iPhone4. Any suggestions?

First, if you still have access to the hacked account, rename it if you can and change the password for it.
How to change the name you use for your Apple ID
If needed, change the email linked to it as well. Get control of that account back.
As all iTunes purchases are linked to the account that purchased them (music, apps, etc) it is best to rename an account rather than creat a new account. Apple ID's can't be deleted or merged either.
From Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you need further Apple ID help, you will want to contact Apple, Apple ID Support
or maybe iTunes Support

Can't find my bellsouth email folders or any of the mail that is in them when I use apple mail

When i log onto my bellsouth (yahoo) email account via the web, I can see all of the folders I created and the mail that is in them. How do I get thise folders to show up when using mail on my mac?

That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links in that part of the screen not clickable.

My ipod can't be recognized on my computer and i have the latest updates.

I have tried everything, i just got a new computer and i don't have the software that came with my mini ipod but I installed the latest versions that are on the site but my computer only charges my ipod it doesn't recognize it so i can't put any songs on it
mini ipod Windows XP

I've got exactly the same problem.
I tried the following:
1. Call up Apple Service Centre, they advise me to find another computer which can "re-format" the Ipod.
2. I went back to Apple Store - where I bought the I-Pod.
They plug that in the computer in the shop. It recognised there and the man told me he has just formatted for me, but back home you need to format that again. (He didn't tell me how to but simply ask me to follow the prompt)
3. Back home, place the Ipod set up disc in CF Rom Drive. Up to the stage where it says, "Please plug and see if your Ipod needed to be formatted". Tried to plug the Ipod with USB Port.
4. NOTHING SHOWS IN WINDOW - recognising there's new hardware. Ipod Menu shows up and Ipod shows it's charging. After 10 seconds, it said CHARGED COMPLETED.
COMPUTER COULD NOT RECOGNISE the IPOD AT ALL.
I am really frustrated now and don't know what to do.
This IPOD Mini is my 2nd replacement.
IPOD MINI Windows XP Pro

Can't find songs on my computer after transfer.

I'm in ipod ****! I was on the forum last night and got help transferring songs from old laptop to new one. I played many songs afterwards and everything was working fine (apparently not). I went to play them this morning and I'm getting a message that says "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
I located all the songs (apprx. 500) and watched as they were downloading into itunes last night. What's the deal????

Itunes is using your songs from the storage device - the library contains pointers to the tracks there.
You need to check in your iTunes Music folder on your c: drive, are you music files there?
If they are, close iTunes then drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml to your desktop.

Using FF7; Syncing my data between laptop and desktop; everything syncs fine, but for the tabs. I have no history of the open tabs of the other device, nor can I find an option to let start a session the latest session of the other device

FF7.0 beta
sync on laptop and desktop
no tab history of the other devices
solution to start session with latest session of synced device?
win 7 64bit

Good instinct not to shut down!
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Copy all sessionstore files (e.g., sessionstore.bak, sessionstore.js) to a safe location (e.g., your Documents folder). Whatever was saved before is in one or both of those files.
This problem of a window sometimes loading the correct number of tabs but the tabs not being navigated to the corresponding pages has been mentioned before, but I do not recall anyone identifying what causes it or how to solve it. If Firefox saved the URLs of those pages, they will be in one or both of those sessionstore files.
These threads have suggestions on how to "mine" the old file to extract the URLs:
* Using Firefox's Browser Console (formerly known as Error Console): https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/969046#answer-471950

* Using a third party website: https://firefox-session-restore.herokuapp.com/
Can you recover them?

How can I roll back to an older version? I cannot get into my inventory options in ebay after I downloaded the latest update

I click on certain links in Ebay and nothing happens. I cannot update my inventory or add products due to this not working
