Corrupt songs. How to get them. And how to get rid of them.

AIFF's in my collection that used to play well, suddenly got corrupt. The AIFF's weren't playable anymore. Everytime I clicked the play-button, the beachball popped up and the hard disk started making a clicking-sound.
I copied the corrupt AIFF's by choosing 'Convert selection to AIFF'. This way I was able to listen to the songs again. The copies of the corrupt AIFF's played well. But the copying process made the HD start clicking and the speedball turning.
So I got rid of the corrupt songs, but I'm still wandering how I got them after all.

@ iTunes Mike:
My HD isn't making clicking sounds anymore since I got rid of the corrupt AIFF's.
So I'm not sure it was the harddisk causing the corruption.
Thank you for your advice however. I backed up, like I always do.

You might have better luck in the iPhone community. I'll ask the hosts to relocate your post.

Have you tried syncing the iPhone to your computer and restoring from the backup to see if you can get your other songs back? If you purchased the new album with your Apple ID, you should be able to download it to your computer to sync.

TS4147 I updated my iphone yesterday. I have the 4S. I have my daughters and mine contacts now. I don't want hers. How did that happen and how do I get rid of them?

I updated my iphone yesterday. I have the 4S. I have my daughters and mine contacts now. I don't want hers. How did that happen and how do I get rid of them?

This happens with you are both syncing data such as contacts on your devices with the same iCloud account. This will result in the data being merged and synced back to all connected devices. To correct this you need to have different iCloud accounts on each device.
To do this, on the device that will be changing iCloud accounts go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from the phone, not from iCloud, so the other phone won't be effected by this.) Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different ID, then turn data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account. At this point you will have two separate iCloud accounts on each phone with identical data.
Next, you'll have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and delete the unwanted data (for example, deleting her contacts from your iCloud account and vice versa). These changes will be reflected on each device and things should now be fixed.

"Open In Tabs." How it got there and how to get rid of it?

I've searched the forums and tried all I can think of but cannot figure out:
1) How an "Open in Tabs" item got in my Bookmarks Menu -
When I go to Main Menu>Bookmarks, at the very bottom is a dividing line and below it, "Open In Tabs." Yet, when I Show All Bookmarks, I cannot find it anywhere. It's not a folder, it's not a link or site, its not in the Bookmarks Bar or the Bookmarks Menu - but it's there when I drop down from Main Menu>Bookmarks.
2) How to create my own "open in tabs" with only two bookmarks in it that I can set to open at starting up Safari.
Right now, when I click it, it tries to open everthing in my Bookmarks Menu.
Can anyone explain (how it got there and how to get rid of it) - and help me do what I'm trying to do (open two sites at startup)? Thanks.

I have to apologize, I accidently gave the link to Safari Enhancer when I mentioned Safari Extender.
Safari Enhancer and Safari Extender are two different programs with two different purposes.
Enhancer is a free standalone program to adjust some of the features in Safari that can not be adjusted using Safari's Preferences. It also alows you to make these changes without having to use the Terminal.
Extender is a shareware Safari plugin that adds its own items to the control-click contextual menus in Safari and includes menu items to work with tabs, mail, user agents, printing, and other functions.
Both are useful programs. I have and use each of them.

I just got a white frame in the middle of my images in viewer mode in Aperture 3. What is it and how did it get there and how do i get rid of it?

Just fishin' ...
Is by any chance "View→Show focus points" checked?
Does the frame persist after closing and re-opening Aperture?
Notice anything else different?
To post a screen shot, you first take it, them upload it. To take them, I use and recommend Skitch -- one of the best little apps ever. But this ability is built into OS X. Use Grab or Preview (search OS X Help for full directions). In Preview, use "File→Take screen shot ... →From selection ... ". Save the file in Preview to your drive. In the Discussion forum click the "Insert Image" icon (a camera) and select the file you created in Preview.

Sounds like you have the Grid turned on. Tap Options and turn off Grid.
The grid is used to assist in composing a photo using "the rule of thirds". Rather than centering your subject line the subject up on a line or intersection of the line for a more pleasing photo. Landscape photos can also look better by aligning the horizon with one of the horizontal lines

Yes, that is correct.
Did you have the instructions that came with your Airport Extreme? Are you sure you have it setup properly? Here is the setup guide:

Ensure you have everything setup properly. Once you do this and if you are still having trouble, follow Star's instructions.

It doesn't really matter which country your hosting service is located in so long as they offer 24/7 tech support in your chosen language. Telephone support is usually free of charge to you.

You will need to do it using a third-party utility such as Phone to PC. Also, see:

So I keep trying to sync music to my iPhone from iTunes, and whenever I select the album the sync goes by really fast and nothing goes onto my phone. Then when I click "On this iPhone" it shows the songs, but they're grey, and I can't click on them. Help?

Ok, sorry. And yes, I just restored my iPhone as new and tried to put all the songs on there before I even restored with my previous backup, but it still does the same thing... even when I just checked the option to sync only "selected music or videos". How's that possible?
P.S. After I tried syncing with checked songs only, nothing showed up under Music on my phone and this message popped up in iTunes: "The iPhone "..." could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish." If you could, please tell me what that means, thanks.

You said:

...and:
Are you saying that my address book has not been hacked into? That others are getting these email addresses from another source?
This confuses me. Are you saying that you are receiving bogus e-mails from some of your contacts, or are you saying that they are receiving bogus e-mails from you?
If the latter, there are a number of reasons that people might be getting e-mail from you. Malware, though technically possible, is extremely unlikely. See Someone is sending messages from my e-mail address!
If the former, that's rather unusual. The only decent explanation I can think of is that a bunch of your Windows-using contacts got infected with something and their machines are being used to spam everyone in their contact lists, which would include you.
