Cannot find my iTunes on computer at all for the past two weeks.
I have been looking for my iTunes in my music folder and it is nowhere to be found. I have 5 ipods and have purchased many audiobooks etc...and now have no access to anything. Every time I click on the desktop icon I get this window:
"The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "Music" folder." ...which when I find has other things in it and not iTunes. I am flumoxed. I put some major bucks into purchases and cannot access a darn thing.
Does anyone have any suggestions and answers?
mags.
Eeek! Sounds like you don't have a backup!
+which when I find has other things in it and not iTunes+
What kind of stuff is in there?

For the past two weeks, every time I start up my computer I'm asked for an iCloud login. I've never used iCloud and I'm not likely to. How do I get this login to stop automatically showing up? I'm using an iMac G5 with OS 10.9.4.
One more quick thing first. Hold the SHIFT key this time as you startup and see if that gets you any further (this is called 'Safe Mode' by the way). I'm not too confident that this will work in your case but it's worth a try. If it boots up, go into Disk Utility and repair permissions.
If it doesn't, you're going to have to do an Archive & Install which will install a fresh copy of the OS over the top BUT keep all your users, files and apps in place. -

Cannot log out of yahoo mail comletely with firefox for the past two week or so
Recently I have been unable to log out of yahoo mail completely with firefox. I get the following error message: "The connection has timed out. The server at us.lrd.yahoo.com is taking too long to respond." I have more than one yahoo mail acct. and cannot log into a different acct until the first one is closed out completely. On the error message page there is "Try Again" button. This has occasionally helped but rarely.
I have tried opening FF in safe mode but this has not helped at all. I have used two other browsers to access my yahoo mail to see it the problem was with yahoo or FF. Both browsers repeatedly logged out of yahoo mail without a problem.I don't think it's a Firefox issue. I switched to Chrome because the newest Yahoo Mail just doesn't work in Firefox, and Mozilla says its a Yahoo problem, which I believe. The email works great while I'm in Chrome, but I can't sign out without going to the Yahoo home page and using that sign out link. Conversely, I CAN sign out in Firefox (been flipping back & forth the past few days trying to figure it out). I just tried it in Internet Explorer and still can't sign out. I never had any Yahoo mail problems in any of these three browsers until the latest version of Yahoo mail came out, and now I just close the browser to sign out -- it's faster, for me anyway.

I have all the settings done properly for the podcasting app, but I am not getting all my podcast daily, especially the ESPN shows. The date of the shows are the dates in August, but after downloading, they show a date for 01/01/12. Anyone else have this problem?
I also download the podcast that I want and then 5 minutes later it says that this podcast is temporarily unavailable. I "Remove Podcast" and then select "Download Podcast" again and it downloads it. If I play it right away I get to listen to it. If I wait 5 minutes the Faffing thing is gone again.

For the past 2 weeks when I wake my computer I get a white screen in front of my background
for the past two weeks when i wake my computer from the sleep mode, I have a white screen in front of my background and the hard drive spins like I have restarted my computer.
Could be any number of things. What user trobleshooting have you tried? Restart (power off/on) reset, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. See if it works after the phone restarts. Next is a restore from a backup (make sure you made a current one), then restore as a new device, which deletes all data from your device. If it doesn't work after all that, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar at the local Apple store, it is probably a hardware issue.
I have seen something similar which is generally diagnosed as a hardware issue. -
So, for the past two years I've shared an account with my sisters. This year I got my own laptop and I want to take my device off that iTunes, but still keep the music I bought. How do I do this?
You should be regularly importing your photos on your device to your computer. That is where all of your photos should be permanently stored. What is on your device is selected when you do a sync to iTunes. Once you select your device, you click on the Photos tab, and select which photos, albums or events you want specifically downloaded to your phone. If they have all been backed up to your computer, then you will be able to select whichever ones you want on your new device.
Contacts would be backed up as a part of the backup process to iTunes. Here is a support article with specific information about what is backed up:

I can not get into the iTunes store for the past two days. I can do a search on the music in upper right corner and get a drop down list. However, the screen is then white with "iTunes" in the middle. Any suggestions? Thank you.
Check out this Apple article -> iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
If your computer has one of the LSPs listed you may have to reset winsock.
If not, you may want to give this article a shot -> iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues -
Cannot attach files in Hotmail for the past two days
For the past two days I have been unable to attach photos or documents to my e-mails in Hotmail. The icons and options still appear on the screen but I cannot click them.
This has just happened to me. XP SP3, Firefox 3.6.10 . The various attachment icons arent clickable BUT IE8 is ok. When I click `New` to send a new email I notice that the last thing that happens as the new screen appears is that the 5 attatchment icons go a bit smaller than usual.This problem wasnt there on 12 Oct 2010 but is now (16th). On the 13th the autoupdate for all the monthly Microsoft patches ran. No errors. Will have to switch to IE till this is fixed

ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working. When I pulled the icon from the desktop, it then disappeared from the computer.I have been using it from the desktop for the past two years, without trouble. It has uninstalled itself, without my intervention and has eradicated all traces of it, including all my entries from the computer memory. There is no program in the applications list. Can you say why this may have happened please?
I opened one of the .calendar folders. There was a folder named Events which had either one or some files ending .ics. I opened several of these, which put up a dialogue window showing some parameters with data strings attached as follows :-

I usually have iCloud backup but I got a notification that my phone has not backed up for the last two weeks, and It wont let me do it manually.There is also still enough storage space. Why did it all of a sudden stop backing up?
The HT1766 article you attached lists the prerequisites for an iCloud backup:
iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your device using iOS 5 or later. After you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in Settings > iCloud > Backup & Storage, it will run on a daily basis as long as your device is:
Connected to the Internet over Wi-Fi
Connected to a power source
Screen locked
You can also back up manually whenever your device is connected to the Internet over Wi-Fi by choosing Back Up Now from Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup. -
I am a member of Club Pogo and the past two days have been unable to play the games by using Firefox. The most frustrating thing is that I am old, cannot follow ALL of the instructions and feel I need to talk to a real live person to take me step by step to the proper categories so I can once again play my games without all of this hassle. PLEASE send me a phone number so I can enjoy my games.
Pogo games usually use the Java plugin.
Do you otherwise have problems with Java?

As i stated initially, everything worked great for two weeks. The first problem I noticed was not being able to open Itunes. It would seem to load, click to a blank screen, and then go back to my icon page. The problem has spread to include anything that I want to browse and purchase, such as apps. Last night I found I could not use facetime either. Also I cannot use my NPR app. It downloads but when I touch an article I would like to read, the screen goes black and then returns to my original icon page.Not knowing what anything has to do with the problem, I have noticed that there are several apps that are in the process of being updated but will NOT update: Pinball Wizard, ibooks, Where's My Water, The Daily, and Pandora Radio. I am in Morelia, Mexico. We have a good internet provider. That does not seem to be the problem. When I purchased my Ipad, I was told that it was usable internationally. Is that the problem? Any suggestions or advice? All will be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, Over the last few weeks I have been unable to download any new applications to my iPhone five. Every time it pops up with an error message that says "cannot download at this time try again later." I don't know if I have accidentally reset something differently or just what the problem is. We had to get bank cards as a result of the "target" security breach, however our bank shows that iTunes has "pinged" our account so I know that that part of it is working. I do not understand how the cloud where perhaps it has something to do with a conflict there.
I am bordering on the edge of real frustration can anyone please help? Kenny V.Hi, Kenny.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
There are a couple things that I would recommend trying. Try closing all open applications and power cycle the device. Next, go through the section labeled Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in the second article below. If the issue persists, try completely signing out of the iTunes Store on the iOS device and sign back in. Be sure to test downloading an application after each step.
iOS: Force an app to close
