Can't get burned CD to be read on my laptop itunes which I'm trying to transfer music to. It just says 'track 1' for the entire CD, and can't be copied. Says unknown error -50 when I try to import. Any ideas?

So...I'm trying to transfer my itunes music to my laptop. I set up a new itunes on my laptop and, with great difficulty (I'm not technical), I've managed to be successful with the help of my memory stick, which saves wasting CDs.
However, for some reason a few tracks by a couple of artists don't seem to have transferred. So I had the idea to burn a CD and then copy that directly to my laptop.
There doesn't seem to be any trouble burning the CD - that works fine. I just select audio CD, and done within a minute or so. But when I then put the CD in my disc drive, it doesn't work.
It says 'track 1', with no other tracks for the entire CD. When I try to import it, it says 'unknown error -50'. I've tried tinkering with the import settings, but it makes no difference.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I'm not that computer literate, so please make it idiot proof

You can use the bootstrap tar.gz files that are found in the same directory as the iso on every mirror.  If you go to the download page, select the mirror of your choice, you will see a file called "archlinux-bootstrap-2013.10.01-x86_64.tar.gz" (one for i686 also).  That is what you need.
Unpack it whereever you think is appropriate, if you have enough RAM you can use /tmp.  Then after setting up the partitions in the host (Kali/Debian, or whatever), you can arch-chroot to that unpacked directory.  There you will find all the tools necessary to install (pacman and the arch-install-scripts).
This method has one issue though, and that is that the arch-chroot script (and maybe others) requires some pretty new versions of various things.  In particular, I think that a pretty new version of bash is required.  So I am not sure about the viability of this solution on anything debian, as their stable repos tend to be pretty conservative.  It also means that you need to have a pretty good understanding of the install process, as you will still mostly follow the beginners guide, but it will require a few changes in the procedure.
Good luck.

  • My elements 9 and 13 are giving me an unknown error message when I try to publish or share a finished project.

    I have a finished project that I want converted to AVI or downloaded on DVD. My elements 9 would just shut down when I attempted this so I upgraded to elements 13 in hopes this error would be fixed. In 13 I get an unknown error message and then it shuts down. I need serious help.

    Important. This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. So, we have no control over or insider contact with Adobe on how it deals with its products or support for them.
    We are fairly successful in what we do to share our work with others. If you wish to continue here, we are glad for the opportunity to be of assistance.
    If moving forward...mini test run....
    1. Move your source file which you describe as AVCHD.mts to a Local Disc C location like Video.
    2. Open a new project to the Expert workspace, and import that AVCHD.mts file into the project with the project's Add Media/Files and Folders. When the video is
    in Project Assets, drag it to the Timeline Video Track 1 and Audio Track 1. Is there an orange line over that content or no colored line?
    3. Up to this point, have you gotten any Unknown Error message(s)?
    If you are OK up to this point, I will ask for more details to fine tune the project settings. What I am presently not on firm ground with is the details of what you are trying to
    import. In one instance you talk about AVCHD.mts file as the source and in another instance you talk about converting a project to .avi or a burn to disc product.
    I am not 100% sure if you mean video file (likeAVCHD.mts) when you write project (meaning to me project file..prel). The difference would affect the troubleshooting plan.
    Please review and consider. We need to be firm on the properties of what you are trying to import and from where in order to gain success. So, that is why I do not want to take
    anything for granted.
    Thanks.

    It also happens with my illustrator.

  • Unknown Error (-48) when I try to sync my iPod

    I have started to get an Unknown Error (-48) when I try to sync my iPod to my iTunes music Library, this problem only occurred when I upgraded to iTunes 7 and upgraded to the latest version of the iPod software.
    Any suggestions?

    At the moment there seems to be no permanent fix for this. This is the workaround I'm currently using until a fix comes along.
    Set up iTunes "not" to open when you connect the iPod.
    Enable Disk Use on the iPod
    Eject the iPod and shut down iTunes
    Reconnect the iPod and open Disk Utility
    Click on your iPod in the Utility pane and choose Repair Disk which will find and fix a number of errors.
    Close Disk Utility and open iTunes and your iPod should connect and update as usual.
    Keep the settings above and each time you connect the iPod to update it run Disk Utility repair as above before opening iTunes. It's far from being a acceptable answer but until a permanent one comes along I've found that it works for me. I've tried the Apple advice of erasing the iPod in Disk Utility and restoring it in iTunes but found it only worked for a while before the error came back.

    Hi Judy,
    Deleting the Preferences files seems to be missing from your list.
    Quit AppleWorks,
    In the Finder, go to:
    username > Library > Preferences
    In the Preferences folder:
    Locate and Delete the File com.apple.appleworks.plist
    Locate and Open the Folder AppleWorks
    In the AppleWorks folder, delete the following files:
    AppleWorks 6 Assistants Cache
    AppleWorks 6 Preferences
    AppleWorks 6 Translators Cache
    Optional:
    AppleWorks Button Bars
    This file contains your Button Bar preferences. If you have made changes to the Button Bar, but hanve NO issues that can be traced to the Button Bar, it may be left in place.
    Regards,

  • I am getting the following error message when I try to import photos into iPhoto from my camera: "/private/var/folders/GB/GBl4wh8-ELqUVMI5dO-ryU   TI/-Tmp-/iPhoto/DSCF2033.JPG".  Have already tried removing and reinstalling iPhoto to no avail.

    Does this happen if you try to Import to Library within iPhoto, or is it when you connect your camera (and which is set to automatically use iPhoto) that this error message occurs?
    If you open Image Capture > Preferences is iPhoto selected as the choice when a camera is connected?

    That is not a practically empty xinitrc - that file only needs one line: exec WM.  Other things are entirely optional, and some of them very useful, but I'd encourage you to stick with the simplest xinitrc that will do what you require.
    Is slim involved?  Probably.  That is the source of many problems.  But to start narrowing this down, I have 3 suggestions:
    1) temporarily (at least) change your inittab to default to runlevel 3 ... actually, is it currently set to 5 or 3? if it is currently 3 that would explain why slim doesn't start.
    2) at a tty in runlevel 3 use "xinit" instead of "startx".  Startx is fine most of the time, but it is essentially just a complex wrapper for xinit.  That complexity can often iadd useful functionality, but it *always* makes troubleshooting more difficult.  So for now just use a vanilla 'xinit'.
    3) remove dbus-launch from your exec line in xinitrc.  This is done by console-kit so it is redundant and potentially problematic.  Further BOTH of these are taken care of by slim, so I'd even suggest getting both a jump start on being ready for slim and simplifying troubleshooting by removing both of them.  Just make that line "exec openbox-session"
    Edit: adding one more:
    4) temporarily switch out openbox-session for openbox.  I suspect the reason feh's setting of the background is getting overridden is due to a script or setting in openbox's autostart settings - many of these are only invoked when "openbox-session" is called, while "openbox" starts *just* the window manager itself.

  • HT204053 If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad

    If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad by getting it off my iCloud?

    She can't from iCloud without setting up your iCloud account on her phone. But just sync the same apps from your iTunes Library on your computer to her phone.
    Your wife should setup her own iCloud account - which is separate to the iTunes Store accounts.

    My ipad2 is not responding..I want to restart it but i can get nothing but a black screen with only the apple logo and a small gear icon. It occasionally beeps but no other response.  Any ideas as to what may be wrong and what I can do?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPad fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
