CD Drive Malfuntioning Since 7.5 Upgrade

Since upgrading my iTunes to version 7.5, every audio CD I play sounds like it skips, and sounds the same way after being ripped into iTunes. I tried that same CD using Micrsoft Media Player and it works fine, and tried a DVD movie in same drive and it worked fine. It is something inherent to iTunes 7.5 and the way it interacts with my CD/DVD drive. I have not read in any of the other posts someone having the exact same problem. Help!

OK, some questions:
1. Which OS version; 10.5 or 10.5.1?
2. When you installed 10.5, did you Upgrade or Archive & Install? And which version did you come from? If you have 10.5.1, did you use Software Update, or download and manually apply it?
3. Which versions of Toast & iTunes?
4. Open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. What does it say about your device & disc burning?
To Clean & zap your PRAM, start your Mac. As soon as you hear the chime, hold down the Command, Option, P, R keys (apple-alt-P-R). Your Mac will chime again. Keep holding them until your Mac has chimed 3 times, then release them. Hold down the Shift key. This will make your Mac boot in Safe Mode, which performs several housekeeping tasks as it boots. Your boot time will be longer because of this.
Once it's booted, try burning a disc from Disk Utility or the Finder.

Drive no longer recognizes blank DVD's since I've upgraded to Snow Leopard

Hello, I have an issue with my Super Drive (the UJ-875). Since I've upgraded to Snow Leopard, the drive no longer recognizes any blank media in it. I've tried -R, +R, -RW and +RW. No dice. The discs can be put in the drive and ejected without issue, it's just they are never displayed in Finder or Disk Utility. When I try to burn a mounted disc image, it simply sits there saying "To begin, insert a blank disc". I've tried using the exact same spindle of blank TDK -R's that I was using before I upgraded the O.S. I also tried some blank Sony media and it doesn't recognize it. It should be noted that the drive doesn't seem to have any issue with previously recorded discs. Those appear to read just fine, it's only blank media that looks like the issue. Any answers you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Below is the Disc Burning information that's displayed in About This Mac:

My iPhoto library is on an external drive since the automatic upgrade to PHOTOS I can't open the library

My iPhoto Library is on an external hard drive since the automatic upgrade to PHOTOs i cannot open my library.
It says i do not have permission to write in this library, how do i get it open and retrieve my photos to upload to iCloud/

But forgot to ask then how to transfer/copy my older photos which are on an older external hard drive.
Are these photos in an iPhoto library there or just loose (or in folders) on the older EHD?

Ever since the systyem upgraded me to 3.6.6. I can not even run one eight hour day without firefoc either crashing or locking up which requires me use C/A/Deleate to close the program. I used to be able to run 8 to 12 windows at a time and NEVER lock up

Ever since the systyem upgraded me to 3.6.6. I can not even run one eight hour day without firefoc either crashing or locking up which requires me use C/A/Deleate to close the program. I used to be able to run 8 to 12 windows at a time and NEVER lock up or crash with the older version. Is this problem being looked into and or being corrected. I use Firefox with Google and my system is XP Pro 32 bit. THIS IS REALLY making me MAD. My email is [email protected] and would appreciate a response to this ASAP. I have tried a couple of items from your help section and nothing works.

'''''Safe Mode'''''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
      the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
           because it is three times faster than wireless.

Since I've upgraded to Maverick the airpot utility does not recognise that there is a time capsule on the wireless network. I can see the TC using the air port utility on my iPhone5 and on my iPad. What am I doing wrong on my macbook?

Since I've upgraded to Maverick on my Macbook Pro the airpot utility does not recognise that there is a time capsule on the wireless network. I can see the TC using the air port utility on my iPhone5 and on my iPad. What am I doing wrong on my macbook?

I have over 250G backed up and I really don't want to reset everything and start again.
Not sure what you mean here.
A reset will not affect any of the data on the Time Capsule hard drive. You would have to perform a completely separate and very deliberate Erase Disk operation for that to occur.
I'm not recommending that you perform a default reset, but it is an option if there is really nothing else to try.
I don't know if what you are seeing is a Mavericks issue or not, since I refuse to use any new software until at least the first major update with fixes comes along.
Another user may be able to offer more input on Mavericks.

Can't save pictures on original folder position after edit...since I'm upgraded to IOS7 on IPad2.

can't save pictures on original folder position after edit, get save popup to save at different position, also still on toubles to get them back to original folder positon since I'm upgraded to IOS7 on IPad2.

I say the problem is probably noted, and probably will be resolved. Not that i can speak for Apple. I find the "problems" of wallpaper to be pretty minor compared to the advantages of iOS 7. The fun of wallpaper has always been pretty insignificant here.

Install more RAM in the computer; the Mac needs to have at least 2GB of RAM and should have 4GB or more first.

Since the software upgrade connecting to hotspot from my iphone with my ipad is not working.

Since the software upgrade , I cannot connect my ipad2 to my iphone 4s via the phones hotspot. Regular wifi is ok. Is anyone else having this problem? I tried resetting the network settings on the ipad, but it didn't help. The ipad sees the hotspot, but doesn't connect. My phone service is with Verizon.

I think I solved the problem. I did a network reset on both the ipad and iphone. So far so good.

My preview crashes every time I try to open it since the Maverick upgrade. Any thoughts?

I can't set up iCloud drive on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite

I can't set up iCloud drive on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite - iPhone and iPad are updated but both say my iMac isn't (even though it is running Yosemite).
My iMac is OS X Yosemite 10.10 (14A389), memory is 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 and storage capacity is 273.64 free of 999.35 GB.
When i go to System Preferences and click on iCloud. The iCloud Drive section is greyed out and says setting up and a spinning pin wheel. It stays like this the whole time. I have tried restarting the computer. i amanita sure what else to do to make it work. Any suggestion would be great.

I found another way to correct this...
1) Select Message, then go to Preferences,
2) a window will appear with 3 options, General, Accounts, Audio Video, don't be surprised when you see a video of yourself, your camera just turned on.
3) Select Accounts (you may have several here)
4) Select the account that has "iMessage" under the account name. This may likely be your Apple ID ****@me.com
5) Look at what is checked under the "You can be reached for messages at:"
6) Select the one account (or more if you like) and deselect the others
7) Close the window and the problem goes away.
I'm not longer getting my sons iMessages.

Why is it no longer possible, since the iPhotos upgrade to 9, to select a number of photos and "hold on to them" when changing to a different left-margin "view"?

There has been a downgrade since iPhotos was… upgraded.
Before iPhotos was upgraded to 9, It USED to be that
IF you chose a photo or a number of photos WITHIN an event
(ensuring that they were engulfed in yellow or blue),
and THEN went to the left margin and clicked on Photos
in order to view the ENTIRE library's photos
(not just those in that particular event),
the selfsame photos would REMAIN chosen in the LARGER context.
That is no longer the case.
And that was very useful, because
if you wanted to move a batch of photos within one event
to within another event, that was the easiest way to do so
— whereas now, we have to search for and "find" them all over again.
When I go "back" to Photos, I not only lose the selected images,
say from March 2009, I end up at a totally different place,
say in October 2006, and I have to do lots more "work" finding
the photos again then used to be the case.

Flag the Photos.
Switch to Events View
Select the Target Event
Events menu -> Add Flagged Photos to Selected Event
Regards
