Can you help? My girlfriend is driving me nuts re iTunes

She has a MacBook Pro (MBP) and external hard drive
She keeps her music on the external hard drive
No problem
Here's the issue:
She endlessly downloads podcasts but needs them _AL_L on her MBP, not external HD
Can iTunes deal with this - two different directories
Podcasts on one drive (the MBP) and music on her external
What happens is that when she is at my place the Podcast goes to the MBP, when she's at her place it goes to the same area as her music on the external HD. Now she looks at her list of podcasts and iTunes thinks half are missing.
I tried two different libraries with one called podcasts and the new library continued the same issues.
Many thanks
Rob

Hmmm.
If she is not actively adding new music she could set the advanced preference tab to the music/media folder on her MBP. The library will continue to play music from her external drive and podcasts from the internal drive. The library is smart this way.
But when she adds music she'll need to switch the advanced tab to the external while she adds it, then back to her MBP when she is done, in order to keep the podcasts coming to the internal drive.
hth
Or, here is another idea, which is what I might do;
Continue to use the external drive for both music and podcasts.
Create a new user for podcasts only. The preferences in iTunes will be sticky to each user. This user will store podcasts on the MBP.
When she intends to leave, she can log in as podcast user, fire up iTunes, go to the file menu, add to library, and navigate to the external podcasts folder and import them all.
Simple. I think.

Can you help me to retrieve my applications. In iTunes I accidentally clicked the Restore button in the Summary screen. It restored the original settings and I lost all my applications and don't know if it is possible to retrieve them.

All apps on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch should be in your iTunes library on your computer.
You can re-download all 3rd party apps and you won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the apps that was used to purchase the app originally.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Do this with iTunes on your computer. After you have re-downloaded every app one by one, select Sync Apps under the Apps tab for the device's sync preferences along with selecting the apps below that you want transferred to the device followed by a sync to re-install the apps on the device.

TS1424 Can you help me on previewing songs to purchase in itunes store?

When I preview a song to purchase, the preview plays only a few seconds instead of the 1 1/2 minutes that it used to play. Does anyone know how to fix this or what is causing it?

Thanks for the reply! I've been running iTM at home for a couple months now, and so I think that initial work is done. I can play iTM content on my iPhone too.
If you're not sure, it would be helpful for you to double check. Although since it has been a couple of months, and you are able to use iTM on your iPhone I suspect the initial process is finished.
How long are you waiting for the tracks to become available? When enabling iTM on an empty library like that it can sometimes take a few minutes for everything to become available, dependent on the internet speed.Looking at the screen shot, the cloud icon that has the stripes in it, next to Music, means iTunes is reading information from the server. So it could be you're just not waiting long enough for iTunes to pull the information down.
Also, since you are at work, is the IT department blocking any ports? That might also be the cause of the tracks not being playable.

TS4036 My iPhone5 was replaced today and when I did a restore I was only able to access a previous backup to the backup that I did yesterday? Hence, I do not have access to some apps such as ebooks and games. Can you help resolve this issue?

My iPhone5 was replaced today and when I did a restore I was only able to access a previous backup to the backup that I did yesterday? Hence, I do not have access to some apps such as ebooks and games. Can you help resolve this issue?

My girlfriend had a similar issue because her new device was not updated to IOS7 when she turned it on, but her backup point was created using IOS7. Check to be sure the restore point was created and then factory reset the phone after you have updated to 7.

Yesterday, as today's deadline for filing tax returns approached, I was paralyzed by the inability to create new IRS PDF forms and to retrieve archived ones from a year ago. My computer went crazy. 24 hours later, I am still paralyzed. Can you help?

My computer went crazy yesterday on two occasions involving PDF documents. One dealt with attachments to an email from a bona fide corporation. The other dealt with IRS PDF forms & schedules needed for today's submission.
As both dealt with PDF and had nothing else in common, I suspected my PC had a virus. When I asked a local store technician, he agreed. I turned to Norton, which protects my PC from viruses, and after a few hours of really thorough searching, the computer was found to have no viruses.
Before describing what I call "crazy" computer behavior, you need to know that I have long had IE8 as my default browser but a few weeks ago switched to Mozilla Firefox because IE8 had beome incompatible with some websites from which I get information.
When I received the email from AT&T email service and clicked the first of four icons representing attachments, there was figuratively an explosion on my monitor: a series of new tabs, each called New Tab, burst onto the monitor--but no text or picture. The new tabs appeared faster than I coul kill them. I finally decided just to shut down the computer, hoping they would not reappear when I restarted. I was wrong. After 2 repeats, I decided to forget about the attachments and asked the sender to send them to me by regular mail.
That was no solution for my IRS PDFs. I wanted to complete filling in the various forms and schedules that I had begun months ago so that I could mail them today to the IRS (without having to copy them all in ink). When I tried to open the first one, BOOM. The same thing happened: the blizzard of New Tabs atop blank pages; my IRS form or schedule did not show up. Did the same shutdown/restart routine with the same results.
When I looked at the list of current forms that had to be completed, I noticed something very strange: the icons that began the listing of the documents' names were replaced one by one by Mozilla icons. When I moused over them, they said Firefox HTML. Why?
Starting the day today, I had the same experience. What's more, when I started to retrieve 2012 IRS PDFs from a year ago, the same New Tab tabs appeared and had to be killed, and Mozilla icons replaced whatever icon was there before.
Assuming that the problem arose with Adobe Reader's reading of the PDFs, I contacted Adobe but got no helpful phone number because PDFs are a free service and was directed to use this Forum to get help.
What do I have to do to (a) read and use PDFs in the normal way and (b) remove the Mozilla icon from those that have appeared on icon documents. If Mozilla is the source of the problem, shall I go back to IE8? (In my 80s, I want eventually to replace my old computer but for the time being I must continue using it. It will not take an IE9. Anther possible default browser would be Google Chrome, but I have unfavorable impressions of it because of its intrusiveness, loading my PC with stuff I do not need.
Can you help?

The problem is absolutely not Reader. The problem is that FireFox has stepped in front of Reader and handles all the PDF stuff - wrongly in your case. FireFox is DESIGNED to take over PDF files. But it is not capable of doing IRS forms!
To start with go back to IE for these forms. When you save them to disk DO NOT DOUBLE CLICK ON THEM until this is fixed. Just open the in the normal way - start Adobe Reader and use Open from the File menu.

When I open up iphoto and click on the events tab then double click on an event, it used to show minis of all the photos in that event. Now it shows only one photo at a time. How do I get it back? Can you help?

CC is for retail use with 20 GB of storage space, CCT is where number of seats are purchased & assigned by one program admin where each seat gets 100GB of storage space.
You can not have both the CC & team in one account as it will only provide you added storage space of 120 GB but you can activate the CC any of them or either of them twice as CC is based on Adobe ID.

I keep being referred to Adobe to install version 11 when it is already installed. Can you help me?

When using my internet explorer 10 I am unable to see the street view in Google Maps. I am referred to Adobe to donwload the latest version of flash player.
Also when on an At&T website I cannot see movies that are available. I am referred to Adobe also.
In both cases I download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player 11 active x successfully. I already have
Adobe Flash Player 11 acitive x installed. I shows in my computer I installed it on 9/21/2013 and is 6 mb size.
Also the Version is 11.8.800.175. It also show the plugin version 11.8.800.168 installed.
      I have tried uninstalling the Flashplayer from my computer and then reinstalling it. I get the same
problem.
    In the past I have never had this problem. Maybe I cleaned out some active x add on or some other file
with my AT&T Security Suite Clean program. I looked at the add -ons and they seem ok.
   I have Google Chrome also installed so I uncheck the download of that in the Adobe website.
When I have the above problem I use Google Chrome as my browser and the problem goes away.
     My wife has a HP laptop with Windows 7 also and has Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X 6mb version 11.8.800.175
also and she has not problem accessing the street view in Google maps.
I checked the requirements for system information
I have windows 7 in my desktop Hp Pavilion elite HPEwhich has Intel Core i7 and have
8 gb of ram. 4 x 2948mb ddr3 - sdram (1333) memories.
My local disk is 931.5 GB.
I have internet explorer 10 version 10.0.9200.16686.
Can you help me on this . Thank you

I finally figured out what was wrong. Since I had installed Google Chrome recently it already had the Adobe Flash Player imbedded in it.
When I uninstalled the flash player in Control Panel option the problem went away.
Thank you for the 95 views. RetiredComTech

I've done everything I know in order to get my calendar in iCloud synchronized with my macBook, my IPad and my iPhone, but get no success. I've checked if all devices are set to the same account. Can you help me?

The only thing I can see strange is that when I login my iCloud account through my principal email address, when I check my preferences is marked an @me.com address that is old and I don't use it anymore, but I can't erase it or even change it.

I found an answer to this on another page (I was having the same problem) This worked for me:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.

Can you help me return a MacBook Air that I found to the owner?

I found someone's Mac Book Air. Can you help me determine the owner so that it can be reunited?

Hi Detective Colombo,
You need to contact your local brothers in blue - hopefully it was reported to them and they can reunite it with the owner.
You can also contact Apple Support, and provide them with the serial number to see if the owner reported it to them, but that is not always successful.
Good citizen, detective! We salute you!
