I purchased two albums from iTunes but neither properly loaded and I cannot play any of the songs. I have prevously loaded other albums with no problems. How do I delete these albums and reload them? I don't see iTunes on iCloud.

I purchased two albums from iTunes but neither properly loaded on my iPad Mini and I cannot play any of the songs. I have prevously loaded other albums with no problems. How do I delete these albums and reload them? I don't see iTunes on iCloud.

If the albums do appear in the Music app, hold down on the album icons and the X to delete will pop up on the icons. Tap the X to delete the albums.
You don't see a anything in iCloud, you see your previous purchases in the purchased tab of the store that you bought the content in. So you find your music purchases in the purchased tab of the iTunes app on your iPad. Tap on Purchased and look for the albums in the Not on this iPad section - assuming that you are able to delete the albums from the device.

I changed my email address and now cannot play items purchased with previous email. This only became a problem after I got a new computer. The original email address no longer even exists. How can I access these hundreds of items?

I changed my email address a few years ago. I did not have any problems after this change until I got a new computer. Now I cannot play items that were purchased under the previous email. I entered the password that I used and it doesn't recognize it. I tried "forgot your password" in every combination possible. I never received any emails at the old email address. Now the old email address no longer even exists. How can I access these hundreds of items?

The old email address may well still be valid as your iTunes AppleID, however if you have no other email associated with that ID you clearly won't get any automated emails to it.
I still use an old defunct email for my iTunes AppleID.

You may want to try to manage the old ID here:

Use the original email address and password.

Apple made me change my ID, now I cannot play music purchased with old ID's

So, first iTunes let me purchase with my aol.com ID. Then made me make up a new one. Now, had me go back to aol.com and I cannot play my music previously associated with that ID on my iTunes. It asks me to authorize the computer, which I did, and then asks me to do it again and again and again.
I have signed in/out. I have looked for the music on my history of purchases and cannot find the old music anywhere. I tried signing in with my old ID and that did not work. When I hit info on the songs I can see when and with what ID it was purchased so I know it is with the old ID. Grrrr. Any suggestions?

Have you tried....
Using the old ID and password? Sign into the old ID and use that password to delete the account.
Using the new password and see if it will accept that one?

Cannot play audio CD with Creative MediaSource Pla

Hi All,
I recently installed an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum soundcard and the Creative MediaSource Player software. I also purchased Creative 5. Analog speakers. Have everything configured pretty well now and really enjoying the enhanced sounds!
My problem is that I cannot play audio CDs using the MediaSource Player. I can see my DVD Player and CD Player in the MediaSource Player 'Source' column and a list of all the tracks on the CD. (no track info, just track numbers and length)
When I double-click on a track it cycles through all the tracks and then places an 'X' next to each one in the 'Now Playing' list window. If I have other music files from my harddri've available, it will start playing one of them.
I've tried different CDs with the same results.
I can use both the DVD and CD dri'ves to play an audio CD if I use any other player (Winamp, Windows Media Player, etc.) and use both dri'ves everyday for loading software and reading files. It will also read the demo DVD Audio disk that came with the card using the DVD-Audio player they provide so I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with the hardware or drivers.
I've read all the info that came with the card and on the Creative Web site and have been through every configuration screen multiple times but haven't found a switch that turns this feature on.
Would like to get this working so I can standardize on one player that allows me to use all the advanced features of my new card.
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this.

A good way to see what kinds of things you might need for something like vlc is to look at the optional dependencies for the package. So if you do pacman -Qi vlc if the package is installed on your system already, or pacman -Si vlc if not yet installed, you can see in the output what kinds of optional dependencies there are. Typically there is a short description of the extra functionality that the optional dependency can provide as well.
So in the case of vlc (and the libcdio optional dep) I get:
$ pacman -Qi vlc
Name : vlc
<SNIP>
Optional Deps : avahi: for service discovery using bonjour protocol [installed]
<SNIP SOME MORE>
projectm: for ProjectM visualisation plugin
libcaca: for colored ASCII art video output [installed]
libgme: for libgme plugin [installed]
librsvg: for SVG plugin [installed]
gnome-vfs: for GNOME Virtual File System support
libgoom2: for libgoom plugin
vcdimager: navigate VCD with libvcdinfo [installed]
xosd: for xosd support
aalib: for ASCII art plugin [installed]
libmtp: for MTP devices support [installed]
smbclient: for SMB access plugin [installed]

Cannot play netflicks movies with firefox 4.0.1 on Mac OS X

I update the silverlight plugin and I still cannot play any movies.
MacBook Pro
Mac OS X 10.6.7
Browser: Firefox 4.0.1
Silverlight version: 4.0.60310.0, last update is March 10, 2011
This use to work in previous versions prior to FF 4.0.

n Firefox make sure you have at least two (2) tabs open - (Ctrl+T opens a new tab)
In the address bar of one tab, type "about:config" - minus the quotes, of course
You'll see a warning. Click "I'll be careful, I promise" and continue to the configuration page.
There's a search bar at the top. Type "js" - again, minus the quotes.
In the results you'll see pdfjsviewer.disabled with a vaule of false. Click it once, then right click it and choose Toggle to make the value "True".
Close that tab.
Click Tools>Options and go to the Applications tab
Locate Adobe Acrobat Document (or Portable Document File (PDF)) in the list and click the drop-down to select "Use Adobe Reader (in Firefox)". (Mine doesn't have that because I also have Acrobat Pro installed)
Click OK.
Click Tools>Addons to see that the Acrobat plugin is installed
Close and restart Firefox. PDFs should now open in a browser window with the Reader plugin.
Note: This doesn't work for me since the update to 23 and I should have the choice of Reader or Acrobat plugins. Firefox is trying desperatelt to FORCE users to use their crappy PDFJSViewer, which doesn't handle multimedis or forms PDFs.
As to the NPAPI and security risks, that's blown WAY out of proprotion. There are antivirus companies trying to sell their products to Mac users (who will NEVER need them) and they use this "urban legend" to bolster their case.

Cannot play my AOL purchased songs, authorization prompt keeps repeating

I recently bought a new iMac and now cannot play songs in iTunes that were purchased using an AOL account. If I try to play a song I get a message telling me that AOL can no longer be used and I have to update to a free Apple account to play the songs.
I tried to do this but kept getting the error: 'An error occurred, the iTunes Store could not process your request, please try again later'. Eventually it did allow me to create the new iTunes account and I logged into it but then when I clicked on any of the songs I got the same message telling me that an AOL account can no longer be used ect . . . . . . I also authorized my computer to play my iTunes songs and I got the message saying the computer is successfully authorized, but then when i try to play one of the songs I still just get the same message popping up telling me that AOL can no longer be used and I have to create a free Apple account.
So I am stuck in an authorization loop and to make matters worse it is now telling me that I am allowed to authorize up to 5 computers and this is 5 of 5 so I have reached the maximum when in fact I only have this one computer. I saw the number of authorized computers increase from 3 to 5 during my attempts to authorize this one computer to play my songs so it now seems that in addition to not being able to play my purchased songs, I am at the maximum limit of authorized computers on my account when I only have two in reality.

This is happening to me also. I posted about it: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8422051#8422051
I have contacted apple support through e-mail but all I receive are seemingly rote responses about authorizing computers. The issue affecting me has not been addressed or acknowledged by the support folks.
I will try the repair disk permissions but I think that it is unlikely, as I just bought my macbook last week. I can't see that as being necesarry so soon.

New iTunes doesn't let me fill a new playlist with songs off an iPod

THIS USED TO WORK ON OLDER VERSIONS OF ITUNES. I own an ipod Shuffle. Sometimes iTunes Autofills my Shuffle with a cool mix of songs from my iTunes library. I want to make that new set of songs into a new playlist in my iTunes. I used to be able to do this by simply: (1) create a new playlist in iTunes, (2) select all the songs on my Shuffle, (3) drag the songs from my Shuffle on to the new playlist's icon.
Sometimes, I won't use the Autofill feature and I will manually drop songs from my Library into my Shuffle. I'll drop a couple songs on to my Shuffle each day. Over the course of a month, I will have slowly built up a set of songs of all my current favorites on my ipod shuffle. Well, of course, I'd like to make all those songs on my Shuffle into a new playlist in iTunes, so I can "preserve" the set of songs I spent weeks building up. Again, I used to be able to do this very easily, but for some reason, in the latest version of iTunes, I can not drag and drop songs from my Shuffle into a playlist.
Let me make clear, I own all this music and all the songs on my Shuffle are already in my Library on my Macbook. This is a matter of creating PLAYLISTS from whatever songs are on my Shuffle at any given time. PLEASE BRING BACK THIS CAPABILITY.

Turn your phone off, then force it into recovery mode & restore it:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

ITunes cannot play any of my songs

why is my iTunes not playing any of my songs in my song library and when i click any song, it tells me the song could not be used because the original file found not be found and will also asked me if i would like to locate?

Have you moved any files or folders in your iTunes folder? iTunes does not look at or store music. When you add a track it notes where the file is located it should play when you select the track. If you move the file or something happens to your computer so the location is no longer valid then iTunes cannot find the file to play. Have to tried to find a file iTunes should play when you select a track (say "yes" when it asks)?

Is your Mac running the current iTunes version?
If so, any change after restarting your Mac?

New problems with Acrobat 11.03 for Mac

I'm having new problems with my Adobe Acrobat 11.03 for Mac. These issues are relatively new and did not occur when I first bought the product about 9 months ago.
1) When scanning documents from an HP scanner into Adobe on my Mac, the scanning works fine, but a multi-page document (scanned as one) is saved as a separate PDF for each page. Bothersome to then have to combine all those separate files into one doc. I can do it, just don't think I should have to take the time.
2) Occasionally, when working in Adobe, the menu bar at the top will disappear when I click on the Adobe icon or a previously saved PDF. Very frustrating. Can't make a note or save the document without knowing the shortcuts, as the menu has disappeared. Once I click somewhere outside Adobe, the menu bar reappears for the other programs. This happens over and over.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hey JeffSPHR,
Please refer this KB doc link mentioned below and try troubleshooting scanner issues:

Let me know if this helps.

Anubha

New Site created is hidden on Desktop (mac)

I did a newbie kinda thing today. I was playing around with
some new things in dreamweaver and decided to create a new
temporary site on the desktop of my mac. But when I created the new
site, I chose the desktop as where it would be located. When my new
site opened, everything on my desktop is now inside the site. I
have not found a way to get to what I created to delete it because
now it seems when I turn on my mac I am "inside" the temporary
site. Now, when I try to create another site, I get a message
saying that I am creating a site within a site and this could cause
problems. I am not sure what to do at this point. Any macheads out
there that can help me?

Create your local root folder somewhere else, then copy the
files that
were on your desktop in to this folder, go into Dreamweaver
and change
the site definition to us the new folder.
