Had to reinstall iTunes after bad virus and now when I drag and drop song into custom playlist it won't added. No green appears, instead just the circle with slash. What's going on? a fix? Michael

I had to reformat after a bad virus and reinstall iTunes. Now when I try to drag and drop a song into a custom playlist, it won't add the song. Instead of the green + that is supposed to appear, it just shows the circle with cross slash. I created numerous playlist before and never ran into this problem. Any suggestions on how to fix it? Thanks 1ngiri

OK, so I have now found that this is apparently normal for iTunes, to only accept mpeg 4 movie files, all the searching I did before I must have worded it wrong because I couldn't find anything about this, incredibly. Had been looking for why iTunes won't take all the files it previously did, like if it had been changed, and it hasn't, it's allegedly always taken only mpeg 4 files. Also I had been searching for why iTunes crashes every time I try and add/import anything but mpeg 4 files, and even sometimes with mpeg 4 files. That isn't normal, it's supposed to just do nothing apparently as I've just found out. So for these reasons I didn't find the answer despite my searching all over the web.
So I guess that answers my own question now, but I'm still perplexed as to why I absolutely, definitely, without any doubt, had several hundred movies of a few different video file types loaded, accessible and playable in my iTunes library that everything here claims iTunes never accepted. It apparently shouldn't have been possible for me to have done this, but for probably 10 years it's been this way.
Perhaps since I don't remember adding these files to iTunes anymore recently than maybe 6 or 7 years ago, the iTunes back then did accept all kinds of file types? Or could I have somehow had some video codecs or software that expanded the capability of my movie players like Quicktime Player that unwittingly also allowed iTunes to take those files as well? All I know is somehow it worked! So now my question is how did I have it working before, so that maybe I can make it work again.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page). Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
(2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Try updating your QuickTime to the most recent version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?

i put money to my itunes account. and now when i try and buy a song it keeps saying that it has to charge my card. why wont it let me use the giftcard money? how can i fix this?

If you still have your old card listed on your account then try selecting the 'none' option and remove it and then try entering the card's details from scratch. If that doesn't work then what is the full error message that you are getting, and the card is registered to the same name and address (including format and spacing) that you have on your iTunes account ?

Why do some of the songs on iTunes not transfer to my iPhone when I drag and attempt to drop them?

Why do some of the songs on iTunes not transfer to my iPhone when I drag and attempt to drop them?

No one hear has any idea why you are having a problem without a lot more information. Have you checked Sync only checked songs? Have you checked "Manually manage music and videos"? Are ANY songs transferrring, or None? Are all of the songs purchased with the same iTunes account? ARE they purchased iTunes songs or from another source? Are you using the same computer all the time (the iPhone can sync music from only one computer at a time)?

I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto try to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files. Big problem. What to do?

I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto ties to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files. Big problem. What to do?

Simple:
File -> Export to get your photos out of the iPhoto Library. In the Export dialogue you can set the kind to Original and you'll get back exactly what you put in.
Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
Once exported, you can then trash the iPhoto Library - just drag it from the Pictures Folder to the trash and empty it.
After that, if you're entirely neurotic about it, just put the iPhoto app in the trash and empty it.

I wouls also like to know how to download pics off of my ipod 5th generation onto my PC computer through icloud or any other way.

It sounds like you are trying to create a new icloud account, not just logging into an existing account. When you type in your Apple ID and get that error, it's because you are trying to create an account using the same ID that is already being used in another account.
Go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen. If you are logged in, press the Delete button, then try logging in with the existing ID.
As for pics, the most secure way is to connect ipod to PC with USB and look at the Photos tab for your device in iTunes. Using Photo Stream is another way, but it doesn't always work, depending on conditions.

          display dialog "I deleted the file :" & return & the_cache
else
          display dialog "The file :" & return & the_cache & return & "was unavailable !"
end if

What kinda forum is this where nobody helps!
I am waiting since so many days after leaving a thread and till nobody helped me with a reply.
If it's a Google PlayStore forum many hundreds of people would have replied.
Seeking a little help and nobody bothered to give it out to you, I am really annoyed.
Still waiting for Help!

I reinstalled Lion and now I cannot drag and drop photos from the internet to my desktop

My Macbookpro was giving me a startup disk full message so I emptied out my photo library and itunes library to an external drive. By then I think the damage was done because I was still encountering the spinning color wheel all the time. On the advice of he Genius bar I reinstalled Lion. It worked well except for this one glitch. I can no longer drag and drop photos from the internet. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks.

That sounds like a browser issue so what browser and what web sites?

I was deleting some things on my computer that I didn't need. And I uninstalled bonjour on accident. And now when I try and download the newest version of iTunes a pop up comes up saying "Service 'Bonjour Service' failed to start.' ect.

I accidently uninstalled 'BONJOUR' and now iTunes, the newest version, wont download. A pop up comes up saying that bonjour failed to start and I have to verify my privleges ect. SO PLEASE HELP!!

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

On iphoto, my import was interrupted and now I can't exit or re-import my photos because it says that I need to wait for the previous import to finish. How can I fix that?

As I was Importing, it kept freezing, so I unplugged my phone and now I can't exit or do anything on iPhoto because I have to wait for my non existent download to finish.

Apple menu ==> force quit
