Getting Nokia 5310 to work with iTunes 7 for Mac O...

Hey everyone,
Just thought I'd post this to help out. I had a lot of trouble getting the 5310 music library to recognize the track & album names from the mp3's I sent over to the phone.
To get the 5310 to recognize your iTunes tracks, you need to follow a few steps:
1. The files need to be in the right format. The 5310 doesn't recognize mp4 files from the Apple Music Store. How to get around this? Back up your purchases to a CD. Then reimport the CD as mp3's. Then you have a duplicate copy of your album, except in mp3 (MPEG-1) format.
2. The ID3 tags in the mp3's need to be adjusted. When you use iTunes to import tracks from the CD, it uses ID3 v2 tags for artist name, album name, etc. That's no good, because the 5310 only recognizes ID3 v1. You need to download an ID3 editor to change this, such as ID3 Editor for OS X. It'll let you change things in batches, i.e., for an entire album all at once, so this is not as onerous as it sounds. www.pa-software.com
3. Get the Nokia Multimedia Transfer utility for Mac. europe.nokia.com/A4423135
4. Allow the nokia util to make iTunes folder transfers (it'll ask).
5. Make playlists, and then dump them into the transfer folder you would have created at step 4 above.
6. Connect your phone by USB using the "PC Suite" setting and off you go.
I had everything pretty much figured out quickly except step 2 -- when the 5310 recognized no artist or album names except Radiohead In Rainbows, that was the clue that iTunes / Apple Music Store must be coding their files differently....

Moments after making the original post, my new ipod mysteriously started to sync and play video podcasts, and I don't know what I did to get it working!
Is there an FAQ or primer on downloading and watching video on iPod? It's clear that I don't understand the machine and how it works with iTunes...
Thanks

How can I get my ipod to work with itunes?

When I connect my ipod classic into my new computer it seems that itunes does not recognize it. How can I get my ipod to work with itunes? I'm afraid to disconnect my ipod because the display is saying Do Not Disconnect.

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

I cannot get my Logitech webcam to work with Lync for Mac

I cannot get my Logitech Webcam or Cinema Display facetime webcam to work with MS Lync. Lync always uses the Macbook Pro's standard webcam and does not give any options anywhere to choose between video devices. The same webcam works with GotoMeeting, Viber, Skype and Google Hangout without any problems.
Does anyone know how I could get it working with Lync for Mac too? I have the Lync for 2011 version 14.0.7.

HT3669 Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. Can someone please advise me how I get the printer to work with my i-Mac? I have installed it but documents don't print. Thanks

Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. I have the latest (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) OS-X software.
I have installed the printer using 'System Preferences' on my i-Mac and it appears on the list of available printers but documents that I create just don't print.
Can someone please advise me how I get the Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer to work with my i-Mac?
Thanks, John Lee

Looking at the Konica web site for the PagePro 1300W, I saw the following note.
Please note: This printer is designed to be used in computer operating systems running MS Windows only. Operating systems such as UNIX, Macintosh, or Linux are not supported nor do we have workaround drivers available. Older MS Windows versions, such as Windows 3.1/95/98[pre-SE] and NT 3.51/4.0, are not supported.
So KM are not going to help you. But the LinuxFoundation does provide a workaround that should allow you to print. Have a look at this web page. You will need to install all three packages as per the instructions from that page.

Digital Copy isn't working on iTunes for Mac, but it works on my iPhone 4S

Hello,
I bought The Book of Eli on blue ray and burned it to my iTunes for Mac via digital copy. I updated to iTunes 10.5.1 and now it won't play, it just shows a black screen and the minutes meter isn't moving. I synced it to my iPhone 4S and it plays fine. What do I have to do to get the digital copy on my Mac to work?
Thanks,
Dan

Does Lion work with Office for Mac?

Does Lion work ok with Office for Mac? I have the latest version of Office for Mac, but it is the cornerstone of my working life and I would hate to upgrade and find that it doesn't work.

Yes, Office 2011 works perfectly on Lion. Only versions 2004 and older have a problem as Rosetta is no longer supported.
I hope this helps.

ICloud working with Outlook for Mac 2011

For work purposes I use a Mac Air, with Outlook for Mac 2011, and my company's email runs on an Outlook server. I'm not going to have any choice about using Outlook.
I've set up my home calendar (on iMac) and want to use iCloud to synchronise between my various devices.
My iPhone can show both my work calendar and my home calendar. But on the Mac where i am running Outlook for Mac i dont seem to be able to add the second calendar.
Looking at older discussions (2011, 2012) it seems there were ways to use iCloud and synchronise with Outlook on a Windows machine, but not on a Mac using Outlook. Is that still the case or is there a way I can now do this?

Microsoft have still not updated Outlook for Mac to support the cross-platform, industry-standard calendar and contact protocols iCloud (and many other similar services) use.
You won't be able to use iCloud with Outlook for Mac, except for email.
Read: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2648915
There's nothing to stop you using the Apple calendar and contact apps for your personal iCloud data, and Outlook for your work data though. Or you could just setup your work accounts in the Apple apps, which do support Microsoft Exchange.

Can't get Bose Soundlink to work with iTunes 11

I have a Bose Soundlink speaker that connects via bluetooth. Prior to iTunes 11, the connection worked very well and reliably. Then iTunes 11...
Now, I can get the bluetooth to pair with the Soundlink but the music won't play. Click play, nothing. Click pause, nothing. Disconnect the Soundlink and the music starts playing through the computer speakers. Re-connect the Soundlink, iTunes locks up again. I've tried re-booting and powering off the Soundlink, manually re-connecting the bluetooth connection and still notta.
Any ideas much appreciated.
Also, anyone else feel like iTunes 11 is way more resource intensive? I'm constantly seeing the little rainbow swirl now when in iTunes as the computer bogs down. I don't recall this being the case in iTunes 10.x.

I should clarify that when trying to play music when connected to the Bose, the music does not play at all. The song does not progress and the time on the song doesn't move. Disconnect and the song immediately starts playing. Re-connect and it stops, no audio but also no movement of the song itself.
Also, if I can play music on the Bose with my iPhone with no problem.

How to get Surround Sound to work With Itunes 7 and Stop Skipping

A common problem for surround sound with itunes 7 appears to come from Creative sound cards. The way to fix this problem is to right click on the volume icon in the taskbar and open the EAX Console. Open the CMSS 3D tab and check the box that says Enable CMSS 3D and set both CMSS and CMSS2 to 0% in the stereo focus slider. It should work. Remember to have the volume slider in itunes at 100%.
If that doesn't work then open the quicktime preferences in the controlpanel/quicktime. Then go to the audio tab, uncheck the safe mode box. Set the rate to 64 kHz and the size to 16 bit. Then set the channels to 5.1
This should all make it work, after hours of struggling i've found these successful settings and am loving it!
For those of you who have sound skipping during transitions----
Go to the preferences of Itunes and go to the Playback tab, disable the crossfading between songs and you should play skip free!!!!

Scroll bar no longer works in iTunes for Mac in Downloads window

I have a strange issue.
When I look at my list of downloads in iTunes (I have 100+ active - lots of podcasts for family) the vertical scroll bar appears but it does not work. I cannot use the arrows at bottom nor can I click in scroll bar or drag window. I am only able to use my magic mouse to move up and down in the window.
This does _not_ happen in other windows. Have looked through dozens of posts but can't find a fix.
Anyone have any ideas?

Last week I was trying to dj with iTunes at a party and this was the reason I dumped iTunes for Spotify. No scrollbar when browsing through your collection, what were they thinking.. Solution anyone?

Will iCloud work with office for mac

If i'm reading the blurb on the website correctly i can only get to see an Microsoft office word document on iCloud if i email it.
Is this correct.
I want to use Office for Mac but be able to see and edit or finish the document on my iPad and iPhone.
Is this possible with iCloud

There are options out there other than iCloud for
cloud storage and syncing (and also not as limited).
Dropbox is one choice. If working with Windows
computers as well, One Drive is very good option
(especially with Win8).

Can't get my iPod to work with iTunes

I have an iPod Touch 2 generation, and had to recently restore it, after it had done that I turned it on after it had been reset and it has the picture saying connect to iTunes, when I click to go onto it in iTunes it keeps saying Accessing iTunes store at the top, but does that for ages. Then I get the message after about 2 or 3 minutes saying Network session has times out. I've tried the obvious; rebooting, changing leads and ports and my network connection is fine. But still no luck
Any tops would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Harry

Issues in iTunes Store with iTunes for Mac

Couple issues related to Browse Mode in iTunes Store. Does anyone else find these very annoying?
1. The Back Button in iTunes Store goes back to main Music Screen instead of back to the browser where you left off. Extremely annoying...
2. In browse mode, when you click on an album and bring it up, you cannot listen to any song from the song list without leaving browse mode, hense, problem number 1 above applies again...
Any solutions?
Thanks,
Jaxmanjoe

This is a question a number of people have asked: this thread poses a solution (which I haven't tried) -
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8888059&#8888059
I would be cautions recommending his suggestion to amend the actual feed file - you would do this by adding an 'itunes:author' tag in the top section - because if you do this it will be overwritten on the next publish, so you will have to keep doing it. If his method within iTunes doesn't work please do post back.
You won't get an instant result in the Store, so the way to check is to carry out his method, publish, then control-click on the 'subscribe' button and choose 'download linked file' or equivalent. Then drag this file to the TextEdit icon and look for the itune:author tag in the top section (before the first 'item' tag).

Getting my wrt150n to work with my apple mac book pro

Hey guys,
I went round and round with everyone on this. I read the forums, called support, went to apple, and *finally* figured out a semi easy solution. This will fix dropped connections when waking from sleep and allow you to run your router in mixed mode (and significantly improve range and speed).
1.) Clone your desktop's mac address.
Open a browser and go to 198.168.1.1. There is an option under the wireless tab for it.
2.) Switch to WEP 10-hex security (if you are using security at all).
Enter a 10 digit number in the key1.
3.) Go to your mac book and open up the network preferences in your system preferences control panel.
a.) First clear out all your locations..especially ones associated with all the mess-up associated with trying to get your new wireless to work. Do this by selecting the Location drop-down menu and select Edit locations.
b.) Next Click on Airport from the network status screen (you should be on it) and click Configure... at the bottom. At the next screen, click options. For, If no recent networks are found, select: Keep looking for recent networks. Click OK. Now you shouldn't drop connections after a few minutes of inactivity!
c.) You should be back at the airport screen, at the bottom there is an Assist Me... button. Click it then the Assistant... bfind your networkutton afterwards, name your new location, click that you use Airport, find your wireless network and enter your 10-digit key.
You should be set!
V

One more thing....I changed the wireless settings to wide band only....that seemed to increase the speed and range.
