Does iTunes have to be installed to use the shuffle in disk mode?
I have read through the string titled 'Ipod only recognized as "unknown device" '.
I have the same problem, however I ran into an issue where iTunes would not start so I uninstalled the program.
I was wondering, does iTunes have to be installed or running for the shuffle to operate in disk mode ot should the shuffle act as a normal jump drive regardless?
Also, I found this Apple article that relates http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303553. This is true for all Intel Macs, not just the Macbook Pro. It also confirms my earlier position, but is vague as to how much faster it is. Ideally, we'd all have 2 Gigs with paired 1 Gig modules.
A quick google search will reveal that the boost is fairly small, but noticable in situations where performance is limited by memory bandwidth. Keep in mind having less memory reduces performance signifcantly, if you run out of memory and more pageouts / virtual memory usage is required. Virtual Memory is orders of magnitude slower than regular memory, think Nanoseconds vs. Milliseconds.
So 1.25 Gigs might be better than 1 Gig for that reason, regardless of if its single-channel or dual-channel. It all depends on how you use computer, but like I said above, I'd just go for what's cheaper in this case.

Firefox email, Does it have one or would I use the one I have now?
I now have my email account with Charter or through Charter. Will I keep this email account or does Firefox offer one?
Firefox is a web browser you can use to visit your current webmail site -- or other popular webmail services, such as Yahoo!, Gmail, and Outlook.com. Mozilla doesn't offer its own email service for Firefox users.

LOL, but really would like to know...
I guess then this is a serious shortcoming of iTunes... Up till this point I owned an RCA Lyra MP3 player and it had no problems whatsoever doing these things. I guess, after seeing how iTunes and iPod works, I'd rather return to Lyra if it had an 80 G version. The only thing that still keeps me with iPod is the capacity.
It seems like that iTunes is a very cumbersome program and it tries to be so much user friendly that it even tries to eliminate the human element. Sometimes, it makes sense to keep files organized in specific manner. Especially when there is work involved and productivity.
I guess I will just delete everything from the play list and read in the main folder every once in a while, leaving the machine working on it during the night or something, then another night, it will refresh my iPod. That's the only solution I see right now.
It is interesting that a huge program like iTunes cannot do what a small one like Lyra can. And I even read in user groups that some people created programs for this problem, but those programs don't work with iTunes 7 well yet, so I am stuck with the manual updating or the brutal deletion and re-reading.
Thank you for the answer. At least I know what not to expect from the program. I just use it for only one purpose: load music onto iPod, then forget about it. It quite an unuseful program for me otherwise.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

How do i install and use the lacie hard disk
i bought the 1TB Lacie Rugged Hard Drive because I have run out of disk space on my Mac desktop. Once I plug it in, I can't seem to format it for the Mac and then use it to transfer my iPhoto library from my desktop to the Lacie Hard drive. Please help! Thanks.
I went into Disk Utility and into Erase and selected Mac OS Journaled and hit "Erase" (I hope that wasn't a big mistake.)
... it was only a mistake if the LaCie drive has multiple partitions on it. Sometimes they have a utiliy partition that I like to remove.
Then when asked whether I wanted to use Time Machine to back up everything on my Mac, I hit "yes". (I hope that wasn't a big mistake.)
... it was only a mistake if you didn't want TimeMachine to use it.
So now the Lacie image on my desktop has turned from orange to green (Time Machine?) and is backing up 700,000 things. . .I just want to free up space on my Mac so I was thinking of moving my iPhoto library from my Mac over to the Lacie Hard Drive. Will I be able to still do that, given what I just did above? If so, do I just drag the iPhoto library icon onto the green (Time Machine?) icon on my desktop?
... if the LaCie has enough space this should be fine. You might run into problems later when TimeMachine starts to fill up your drive; iPhoto might start giving you errors if there isn't enough freespace. -

How do I block this msg from always popping up "iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use the iTunes Store within iTunes. Use Software Update to download and install the latest version of Safari". I cannot download this software bc my lap top is to old. The msg literally pops up everytime I make any moves on itunes and is VERY annoying.
I have a 2006 MacBook with an Mac OS X version 10.5.
In that case, try downloading a Safari 5.0.5 for leopard from the following location:

Hello guys..does anybody know how to install and use adobe master collection with the new lion?
I need to use Flash and illustratore, but apparently those programmes are incompatible with the new operative sistem...
I am a new mac users and I'd like to know if there are other similar programmes I can use with lion!Lab79 wrote:
Are you on Apple's payroll?
well dude I can only let you know that as I work with those programme I don't have to pay for it is my company that pays the programme I whant to use( that's why I was asking if there where other programmes ..that I could use with lion insted that Illustrator and Flash!)..I know Adobe since 2005 and I can say that Adobs products are very good...I think that if it's an Adobe probleme or fault ..they will solve it very soon...but unfortunally I have the impression that after Jobs passed away Appel decided to change politics..and everything started to go very bad! (see FCP X)..
good luck with apple dude..
Where is the Apple problem? I have CS4 and CS5 running perfectly fine on my Macbook Pro. Installed 5 after Lion upgrade. Worth every cent. Adobe did have some catching up to do with Lion but with the CS5.5 update all runs fine. But not yours. So it is a problem with the Lion OS? You say you have been with Adobe since 2005. So you would be aware of all the other issues that Adobe had catching up with past Oss in Mac and Windows then. They get it right, but it is up to them. It is not up to Apple, nor Microsoft for that matter, to run around and check that every software developer in the world is running their business properly.
And what has politics got to do with anything. Some people just have to blame Software for their poor Hardware maintainence of failure of the same.
<The only think I can really do is to go back on my old windows...give back this orrible lap top and ask for my money back!>
Great suggestion. You should go with that one, but good luck getting a refund.

HT4335 Does Itunes have a solution for playing music in a business setting?
Does Itunes have a solutions for playing music in a business setting? Can you play your downloaded music in a business-overhead speakers?
Presuming you are referring to the iTunes Store, tracks purchased from that service are for personal use only and are not licensed for use in any commercial setting. You will need to either find a commercial service to provide music (easiest by far, though perhaps not the cheapest), or buy the appropriate CDs and then obtain a license from the various rights clearinghouses for playback in commercial use.

Does iTunes have any hidden picture controls for video playback (e.g. contrast, brightness) ?
Does iTunes have any hidden picture controls for video playback (e.g. contrast, brightness) ?
I haven’t been able to find any.
Since the .m4v file type appears to prevent any video bought or rented from the iTunes Store from being played using any other program the lack of these picture controls - if indeed they are lacking - make it seriously deficient as a video player.Thanks for the rapid response to my enquiry.
I know that it’s possible to adjust the monitor’s performance via System Preferences but it is rather long-winded and I’d rather not alter the settings for the entire screen (and then have to change them all back once finished) when it’s only the video playback window that needs adjustment.
Since iTunes provides various options using the Equalizer for adjusting sound playback it seems rather odd that they don’t have a similar panel for video.
Regarding QuickTime.
Apparently earlier versions (such as 7) had picture controls but the current version (10.4) does not.
I assume Apple are phasing out QT whose development seems to have stopped - or rather gone backwards since it now lacks capabilities it once had - and intend in future to treat iTunes as their universal media player which no doubt makes sense from their point of view.
I wasn’t aware of the .m4v file type when I made my first and probably last video purchase via iTunes yesterday and didn’t realise that it would restrict my options for playback so completely.
The experience has really put me off buying any additional video from the iTunes Store.

Is it possible to purchase an ipod 4 that does not have a camera installed?
Is it possible to purchase an iphone that does not have a camera installed? Not allowed to have a camera at work.
Alternatively you can disable the camera app through the restrictions. This will remove the camera app and facetime app from the home screen, and will also prevent the camera from being used in third party apps.

My iphone only sync's SOME of my ical events from my macbook. I only have 1 calendar. Am I doing something wrong? I'm not using the cloud.
With the exception of photo stream, iCloud doesn't sync your apps or photos between devices. You will continue to sync this content via iTunes in the same way as you do now.
Photo stream allows you to sync your most recent photos between all devices, you have the option to use photostream or not. -
Does iTunes have or is there an app to see beats while a song is playing?
Does iTunes have or is there an app to see beats while a song is playing?
Thank you, but both of those would be a financial overkill as well I believe (for an occasional once a year need).
I actually designed another flyer with a curved headline about 2 years ago, but saved it simply in a .jpg format (because it was emailed) and cannot remember how I actually did it! It opens now in Preview (default) and get info doesn't tell me which app was used to create it. I've already tried each and every app I have and it's driving me bananas. -
I replaced my iPhone with a Samsung Galaxy5 and I am not receiving all of my text messages now. The rep at the store told me to go to iTunes and take my phone # off of the account and that would fix the problem. Is that true? What does iTunes have to do with text messages anyway?
You need to remove your phone number from the iMessage system.
