Cannot hear or view movies on New iMac

I bought a new iMac, I cannot watch old or new films on it. Just a black screen with no audio or picture, though if I look through chapters I can see a screen shot mini version of what should be on my screen. Please help, its very annoying. Can I also mention that it still airplays the movie onto my apple tv?????

Cannot sync my iPad to my new iMac even though I deauthorized my old computer.

Cannot sync my iPad to my new iMac even though I deauthorized my old computer.

Only purchases transfer over.
That is how it is designed to be.
Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

Cannot send nor receive email on new iMac; migrated settings from MacBook

I just recently bought a new aluminum iMac. I migrated files & settings, including Mail settings from my MacBook to the iMac. Despite the copied settings, I cannot send nor receive messages on the new iMac. I have always been able to send & receive e-mail on my MacBook, so I would think the same settings should work on the iMac.
I have tried Connection Doctor, and I am getting successful connections on both the POP Account and SMTP server.
I have compared settings between the MacBook & iMac, and they are the same. My MacBook uses Tiger and doesn't have the option of default & custom ports. It is set to port 25. I have tried custom ports of 25 & 587 on the new iMac as well as the default port option. None of those seem to work.
Is there something else that could be wrong or anything else I can try? Thanks ahead of time for any assistance.

Cannot install Photoshop CS4 onto a new iMac

I have just bought a new iMac and want to put my Photoshop CS4 on it. It has previously been on my 5 year old MacBook Pro. I have downloaded the .dmg file from the adobe website but as soon as I open it up and click on the setup icon a pop up opens saying "Cannot Install Please click the Quit button". This all happens before I am given the option to put in a product key. I have just done the same process with Lightroom 2 and it worked fine. Any ideas?

Yes, it seems you are downloading the wrong thing.

Make sure you follow the steps before you begin downloading

Cannot open LR4 Catalogue in a new iMAC

I have just bought a new iMAC. That was yesterday.
I already had LR4 purchased and used it regularly on my older iMAC. The LR4 Catalogue and Images were all installed in an external USB disk
So today, after installing LR4 and a trial version of PS6 (I own PS5) on my new iMAC, I connected the external USB disk, which had my LR4 Catalogue and images, and tried to OPEN the LR4 Catalogue in question. To my surprise, I got a dialogue box which read:
"Lightroom cannot launch with this catalog. It is either on a network volume or on a volume on which Lightroom cannot save changes.
The catalog's location is /Volumes/Toshiba_1TB/LACIE_2/LACIE_2/LACIE_2-2-2.lrcat."
I got so frustrated, that I IMPORTED the catalogue instead. After some while (25000 images), LR4 imported the images, with keywords, etc. Of course LR did so in a location on the iMAC HD, which is something I do not particularly like.
Anyway, I went to the smart collections, just to check that everything worked out all right, and opened one of them.
But when I tried to edit one of the images, I got this dialogue box:
"Lightroom was unable to prepare the selected file at /Volumes/Toshiba_1TB/LACIE_2/Art Projects/CHICA de Anne Marie/Chika de Anne Marie_ii.jpg for editing.
It will not be opened."
Could sombody tell me, please, if there's a way to open my original catalogue in the UDB external drive'
If that was not possible, why to I get the second dialogue box when I try to edit the image in the smart collection, telling me that the image would not open?
Thank you for your help.

I'm not a Mac person, but it seems highly likely that you are having permissions problems. Your current user on the new Mac doesn't have permission to write to the external drive from the previous machine.
Fixing up your permissions ought to make things work for you.

Cannot save in Motion 4 on new iMac

I cannot save anything in Motion 4 on my new iMac. No save, no save as, nothing. I get a window that merely states that "+the document 'whatever' cannot be saved as 'whatever'.+" Is anyone else having this serious problem? The software is all completely updated.

I know this happened in Motion 3 when the tutorial media was copied from the CD. Even though on a hard drive, it retained write protected status. The answer was to Save As to a different folder.

Cannot back up iPhone 4 to new iMac

I am about at my wits end. I just purchase a brand-spanking new iMac. Which works great. However, the iTunes will not back up my iPhone 4. Period. It asks me if I want to install the latest software (I currently have the 5.0 software; this is the update AFTER that one), and of course I say sure, but it starts to back up my iPhone to the COMPUTER, even though I have marked to have it back up to iCloud. I prefer it be on iCloud, as I had issues with it telling me prior to 5.0 that it was backed up on the computer, when it really was not (unable to locate it...reset iPhone, and lost everything-hence switched to iCloud until I can figure out why the computer is not wanting to back it up. I get the error message: "unable to back up iphone 4 (well the name of my phone) because it could not be saved on this computer". I have seen this addressed in other forums, but none of those suggestions worked.
I went to the Genius Bar today, and the guy told me to delete iTunes, and reinstall from the website. Can't. I have Lion OS X on this iMac, and it gives me the message that "unable to delete iTunes because Lion is using it. ? WHAT? The "genius" guy hadn't even heard of this issue before, and did not know how to get the computer to back up the iphone to iCloud when trying to install the latest update to the iPhone.
Also of note-I have no garbage can next to any of my photos on my iphone, imported, taken with the phone, ,or otherwise. I am unable to delete any of them. Someone had mentioned manually deleting all of them to clear the error code so I will sync to the computer.
? Any thoughts?
I have an iPhone 4, have had it for a year and a half. Was syncing fine with my Macbook (which has since died).
I have Lion OSX, brand new
I have no firewalls or security ware active on the computer
Thoughts? I am this close (holding thumb and index finger closely together.....) to switching to a DROID! Ridiculous how this easy process is turning into an abslute frustrating nightmare for me. Genius Bar is worthless here.
Thanks in advance---

Nope. No can do. It did not ever back up to my new computer. We looked all over this thing for backups. There were none. Any other suggestions?

I cannot play you tube on my new iMac(it was working fine yesterday) it is asking for adobe flash player how do I do this?

I have tried to play you tube tonight on my new imac (it played fine last night)
and adobe is asking for a flashplayer upgrade, do I go ahead with this and if yes how do I go about it?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Apple blocked Flash yesterday because of a serious security problem that is being used to hack PCs and Macs with Flash.
Adobe has released a Flash update that makes Flash work again on Macs. You can download it on Adobe website > http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer I recommend you to restart the Mac after installing this update

Existing Library Files flagged as Damaged after Move to new iMac

Hi -
I just upgraded my mid-2011 iMac to a late-2012 iMac.
I have the iTunes library on a Thunderbolt Raid (Promise Pegasus) and have connected the Promise to the new iMac.
I'm trying to get the 'new' iTunes to see and use the library on the Pegasus, but each time I try to start (using the option key)
and choose the Raid library location, iTunes tells me the .itl file is damaged, renames it, and builds a new .itl and .xml file.
I have restored both of those files on the raid and re-connected it to the old iMac (I still have both machines) and the old iMac sees all the media, playlists, etc just fine.
Does anyone know what I need to do to correct this?
I am POSITIVE the library on the Pegasus Raid is intact and undamaged, just need to convince the iTunes on the new machine of that fact.
Thanks!

Ah, I wondered if it might have something to do with the retina display. I tried what you suggested and made the LR window about 1/4 size of the display. I was then able to apply presets instantaneously, with no lag at all (much faster than my previous system). I also opened some images in Photoshop and the Nik filters, and reduced the window size. The Nik filters are still a bit more "laggy" than I would expect, but overall there was an improvement.
Is Adobe planning on updating the max preview size given these new displays?
I wish I would have considered this prior to purchase. Probably wouldn't have stopped me, because the retina display is so stunning, but the lag is really annoying.

Cannot Add Playlists or Movies to New Nano-iTunes "Creates" a New Device

I just purchased a new Nano and I am trying to get it work with iTunes 7.4.1.2 properly. When I connected the Nano, it created a new playlist named after the name I gave the Nano. Everything that is added to this playlist syncs fine. However, when I try to add any other playlists through the Music tab for this device and then re-sync, I get two error messages - "The iPod cannot be synced. The required disc cannot be found" and "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod."
When these error messages happen, I notice that there is a second Nano appearing under devices (I only own one). This second Nano only has a Summary tab but the serial number is the same as the primary Nano showing up under "Devices."
I have tried everything I can think of. I disconnected and reconnected. I restarted iTunes. I rebooted the computer. I tried Restoring the iPod as suggested. Nothing works and I keep ending up at this same point.
It will also not let me add any video content (Movies, TV) or podcasts, giving me the same error messages above. Photos does work when I set it up adding the folder I want when first connecting the Nano.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am running the latest version (7.4.1.2) on a Sony Vaio running Windows XP.

But will I lose all my contacts (the ones I've added recently) and apps.
If I go back to an older ID, I might lose all my recent stuff with the new ID?

Cannot email photos from iPhoto on new iMac mountain lion

I have a pop account for my mail. When I got the new computer with iCloud, I had to have my pop mail forwarded to my iCloud account. That all works fine. But I cannot select a few photos in iphoto and click on 'send' for either the pop or the icloud accounts. I get a message that I am not connected to the internet (which I am) and to try again later. I have spoken with tech support at Roadrunner, my pop account, and we have checked that all settings are correct. He thinks the problem must be with iCloud. Any ideas?

If you are using iPhoto try going into the preferences and the click accounts to make sure you email account is setup correctly.

Cannot see Database Views for a new Datasource

I need to bind some text fields to a Oracle Database View (not a Database Table, I can see them fine).
If I drill down into the Oracle Datasource, I don't see any of the required views.
Although the schema I am using do not own these views, I have a public synonym set up for the view. The schema I am using do have access to SELECT on the view.
Do anyone know if Creator will recognize these Oracle synonyms for the view? Or even better, does creator recognzie tables through Database Links?
Ritchie

>
I'm using the jt400 driver w/ an AS400 DBI'm guessing that's the issue.
try this:
select your data source and right-click "view data".
Enter the special undocumented query
getmetadataand run.
This show the schema/table/view/etc metatdata returned by the db/driver.
Check the output section for getTables(null, null, "%", new String[] {"VIEW"}
Any rows?
If not, try another driver.
If there are VIEW rows, then it's a Creator bug - those bastards! :)

Cannot Install HP C4680 Printer to New iMac with OSX v10.6.2

I've followed the HP install directions to a tee (for Macs, connect USB before inserting install CD). I've also tried workarounds online ((a) connect USB after install but before set up and (b) turn off computer and printer and reboot and (c) attempt to install from System Preferences). I've also uninstalled and then downloaded installer and new drivers from the HP website and attempted to do (a), (b) and (c) with the downloaded installer and new drivers.
Nothing works. The install goes fine, but when I reach set up, my printer is not listed. When I check the box that says "my printer is not listed" (or something very similar to that), I get a message saying that if my printer is not listed, then I have the wrong installer and need to get the correct installer. However, no matter how many times I uninstall and reinstall the "correct" download from the HP website, I am stuck in "Groundhog Day."
I've been trying to install this printer for three days now. Any solutions would be very appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Have you run Software Update? If not, you should and install the updates suggested. Note whether there is an HP printer driver update amongst the suggested updates. If there is, go ahead and let SU do the update for you. You should have your printer connected and switched on throughout this process.
After this go to System preferences/Print & Fax and see whether your printer is listed. If it is there might be 2 mentions - one for FAX the other for print.
Let's know what all this shows.
