Hi i am getting an error message "The disk was not ejected properly. If possible, always eject a disk before unplugging it or turning it off."

Hi I recieve this error message whenever i wake up the imac. I am using a lacie 2 terrabyte external drive half for time machine the other half for itunes library and such. the drive is always connected and on not sure what is going on and how to fix?

if you put your mac to sleep and then turn off external discs then you get that error it's by design
if you shutdown the mac and then turn off the ext disc then you don't
if you eject the ext disc and then put the mac to sleep you don't get the error you eject it by clicking on the ext hd's eject option in finder

i keep receiving this message "the disc was not ejected properly. if possible, always eject a disk before unplugging it or turning it off"

I had this problem too, where it seemed I couldn't go eight hours without the Duo drives dropping and getting the "disc was not ejected properly" error message.
I tried the following and so far it seems to have fixed the problem:
In System Preferences > EnergySaver, make sure the setting “Put hard disks to sleep when possible" is unchecked.
I did this only on the Power Adaptor tab, but you might want to uncheck the setting on the Battery tab as well to be safe. (In my case, the Duo drives are unlikely to be attached when I’m running on battery, so I left the setting checked for the Battery tab so that the system can still power down the internal drive.)
Since I made the above change ten days ago, the Duo disks have not dropped, even when I left the system on with the Duo disks connected for a couple of days.
FYI I have the Duo set up with two RAID 1 sets spanning the two drives. I'm using Mavericks 10.9.4.

Getting authorization error message: Required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed.

I have recently purchased this MacBook used and am trying to authorize it on the iTunes Store but even after uninstalling iTunes and re-installing it with a fresh copy I'm getting this error message: "The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed." And I have no idea of where or how to fix this issue. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I even tried to deauthorize this computer and got the same error message. HELP!

I used Terminal to change the permissions on the folder in question. I followed the instructions in this article:
iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
In my case, the folder was there, so I needed the command to change permissions on the folder, not to create one. I was hesitant to use Terminal b/c I know that if I made an error I could wipe out my hard drive or render my computer unusable. So to be SURE I didn't make an error, I carefully copied the command from that page and *pasted* it into Terminal. Also, before I could do anything in Terminal, I had to go change my admin password (it had been a blank password before and that's not acceptable for making changes in Terminal). I was just super careful when entering my password or doing anything else while Terminal was open (making sure I didn't accidently hit the spacebar or another key, etc.) And it fixed the problem right away.
What was confusing for me was that the iTunes error message said to change permissions in the FINDER, which is what I was trying to do. It didn't mention Terminal. What would really be helpful is if Apple included a link to a page like this in their error message.

I am getting this error message, " The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" when I try to go to Firefox home. I have uninstalled add-ons, uninstaleed and reinstalled a fresh new firefox which did not help

I am getting the following error message, " The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" when I try to go to firefox home. I uninstalled add-ons , uninstalled Firefox and then installed a fresh version. Still have the problem.
Thanks for the help

That issue can be caused by a corrupted or incomplete Visual C++ installation (multiple versions can be installed side-by-side; SxS) that is missing some runtime components (Redistributable Packages) that Firefox depends on (problem with an embedded manifest file that specifies a specific runtime version).
You need to install the missing components (e.g. VisualC++ 2005 Redistrbutable).

I purchasd an ITune Audio Book using a borrowed Windows Computer. After the Download I attempted to Sync and was told that I was synced to a different [something]. It then asked if I wanted to sync to this [Something] I said yes. IT wiped all the stuff off my IPod then gave the following message:
The [title] was not copied to the iPod [name] becuse you are not authorized for it on this computer.
How can I get this to work?
It considered the computer pretty acceptable when it took my money for the title. I think I have been ripped off.
THis whole SYNC is an innecessay step. Why can't I just download stuff to my iPod (from any sourch by the way) and delete it from my iPod when I don't want it any more.

Hello LeaMinovitch,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iTunes Store: Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
To authorize a computer, follow these steps:
Open iTunes.
Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
You may need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still authorize your computer.
In some cases, iTunes may ask you to authorize the computer again. iTunes should use the same authorization as before if the computer is in your list of authorized computers.
Learn what to do if iTunes repeatedly asks you to authorize when you try to play your content.
Best of luck,
Mario

Everytime I click on firefox I get an error message "The connection was resert, try again ????

Everytime I start firefox as my primary web browser, I get an error message that "The connection was reset" .... Please click on try again .... Then I click on try again and it works fine .....
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== when I first downloaded it

I have the same problem on a fresh install of 3.6.3 on Windows Vista. Once I changed my home page from the Firefox/google start page to my iGoogle page, it would not load on the first try and displayed "The connection was reset.
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." The page loaded properly when I pressed retry or the refresh icon.
The same error message shows when I click on a link from an e-mail in Outlook.
One thing that helped was I put https at the beginning of my homepage, instead of http, and it now loads on the first time.

Syncing photos via iTunes - getting new error message" "the iphone could not be synced because the connection to iphone was lost"

I am trying to sync photos in a dedicated file on my desktop with the photo library on my iPhone 4S. Something I have done many times before.
Since upgrading to iTunes 11 I get this message "the iphone could not be synced because the connection to iphone was lost" midway through the sync. I do not understand this as I am syncing via the USB lead, so how can the connection be lost?
Bascially I just want to update the photos on my iPhone with new photos I have added to the file I use on my computer.
Any help or ideas would be gratefully received. Thanks.

This may help you

Hi
Error -108 memFullErr Ran out of memory [not enough room in heap zone]
Turn off - TimeMachine usually works - re-try.
(the Application down in the Dock - not the Device)
But this can mean many thing's - My first thought is

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.

HT5654 I tried to install the new update to iTunes on my Windows XP computer and I keep getting an error that say iTunes was not installed properly. Please reinstall iTunes. I tried that and it still won't work. Got any ideas what is wrong?

I tried to run the new update to iTunes and I got the error....iTunes was not installed properly. Please reinstall iTunes. I have tried that twice with no success. Anyone have any ideas what the problem is?

Try the following user tip:
Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates

Whilst downloading new version 11.1.4.62 yesterday Itunes stopped working and I now get an error message MSVCR80.d11 was not found. I have uninstalled I tunes and reinstalled it and Ihave also taken the recommned patch to recover the MSVCR problem.

I was using my Dell PC (Windows Vista) on the 24th January 2014 and I was lstening to music via my Itunes programme. a window appeared alerting me to the need to take the new 11.1.4.62 Itunes update.
I should have stopped Itunes and then installed the updated programme but absentmindely I cliked on the upload icon.
Everything carried on as normal unitl around 70% the way through the upgrade when Itunes stopped working.
An error message appeared 'Itunes Helper exe - Unable to locate component. This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.d11 was not found.' i was advised to uninstall and reinstall Itunes as that may fix the problem.
It didn't!
I then researched this issue on Google and was advised that if the reinstall of Itunes didn't resolve the issue I should download and install Microsoft Visual C++2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package MFC Security Pack and run it. Did this and reinstalled Itunes again. Still doesn't work.
Where next?

Yes I have had the same problem today. Wish I had`t bothered to carry out update as everything was ok before.

Can you browse the Time Machine drive from Finder?
If you can and you know where the picture was stored ie on your desktop you can browse through the folder structure to the picture copy it and paste it somewhere on your new install before right clicking it and 'set as desktop background'

After updating my iTunes to 10.4 I get an error message saying "iTunes was not insatlled correctly. Please reninstall iTunes. Error 7 (widows error 999). I reinstalled and still get same message when trying to run iTunes.

When I installed the update originally, it said it installed correctly. How do I fix this?

I am receiving a backup error message" ther backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk"

I am receiving an error message: " the backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk". I have used the Disk Utility tot "Repair Disk" and it appears that there are no problems with the back up file..
I continue to receive the error message. What can anyone suggest I do?

One of Apple's less-than-informative messages.
Most likely, there's a damaged file on your system; see #C3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting. It will show you how to locate the message(s) that describe the problem, then help you fix it.
