Hi,
I was wondering if someone can help me. I have a MacBook Pro, it has came up saying I need to free up space on the disk as it full every time it starts up, so I log in and no icons or applications show up on the screen just my background wallpaper, the only thing I can do is the force quit keyboard shortcut but there is nothing to quit, I have tried to start up in safe mode but again there is no icons in the desktop,
I have my disks that came with my laptop I have went into disk utility to repair disk and I still seem to have the same problem .. No icons or apps or anything lol just the cursor I can only shut down the laptop via power but and the press shut down.
Please help I am going out my mind with this thing :(
Thanks x jade
This can be used to boot the machine and delelte enough files to get it to boot normally.
.Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
Read about storage drive so you can store your extra stuff.
Most commonly used backup methods
Also here to see how a full boot drive slows the machine down
Why is my computer slow?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me. I recently got my first ever Ipod. It's the new Ipod Nano 7th Generation. I have tried to synchronise it with Itunes but it says "Connected, Eject before Disconnecting" but nothing happens. I have tried uninstalling & re-installing Itunes but this didnt help.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for your help.I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos. It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again. Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen. In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device). Under Settings, click on Music. To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box at the top for Sync Music. That turns ON automatic syncing for music. Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod). Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below. Then click Apply. -
hello i was wondering if anyone can tell me why when i synced my spotify to iphone from computer i lost my playlist1 which had all downloaded music but shows up on iphone(which i cant get to play)????HELP!!lol
Hello Miss Moo,
If I upgraded to 10.5, would any of the problems such as misplaced files and apps, etc. in Tiger 10.4.11 interfere with the upgrade.
If it's Apple Apps, like Safari, Mail, etc., then there will be new versions to replace all the missing files/components.
The Mac OS X Installer stops with 2 minutes remaining and it can't finish copying the disc.
How much free space is on your Hard Drive?
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Were any errors reported?
That second Disc thing happens frequently, the best way around it is to do a Custom install, and eliminate enough Printer Drivers, Languages, Fonts, and Applications you don't need... then it may skip #2 altogether.

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me, I recently restored my itouch 4th Gen and was then told to upgrade to itunes 10.6 now everytime I try and install itunes I get the following message, help please!
Error writing to file: C:\Program\Files\iTunes.Resources\de.Iproj\SortPrefixes.plist. Verify that you have access to that directory.Error writing to file: C:\Program\Files\iTunes.Resources\de.Iproj\SortPrefixes.plist. Verify that you have access to that directory.
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards? -
I was wondering if someone could help me
hello i was wondering if someone could help me. i dont know if this is the right forum so im sorry if its not! my family computer recently got a virus and was gone for good. we got a new computer and i redownloaded itunes. i thought that all the music i had bought off itunes could be redownloaded. obviously its not that simple. is there any way i can get back my already purchased music? anyones help would be greatly appreciated. <3
Do you have the songs on an iPod? iTunes purchases can be transferred from an iPod to your new library. See info here:
www.support.apple.com/kb/ht1848 (And you might want to authorize the computer first.)
If you don't have them on an iPod, your only option is to contact Apple and see if they will allow you to download the songs again. They are not obligated to do so, but some users report being allowed to. It doesn't hurt to ask. (And, please, be sure to backup your new library!) -

Hi, I'm new at this but I am hoping someone can help me.I have recently been away for 5 weeks and my Tom Tom required updating.When I clicked to update it, it required a pc. As I didn't have access to a pc it wouldn't work is there any way to do this without a pc? I was without this app for 3 weeks! Thanks, Lea
The process to update your Tom Tom is a big data file, you will need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network for it to download. If will take about an hour.

I have a MacBook pro that has power issues and will not start but the hardrive is fine. I do not want to lose all of my files so I was wondering if it's possible to transfer my hardrive from a older Macbook pro to a new one if I were to purchase a new one? Also, the software is not updated as the computer hasn't worked for about 2 months.
Also, if it is possible to transfer the hardrive, would my iTunes music transfer as well? It is not saved in the cloud.
Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.You computer is probably perfectly repairable, but if you want a new one anyway, it is perfectly possible to transfer the data from the faulty one.
But it would be a mistake to simply put the old HD in the new computer.
These are the steps:
Remove Hard drive from faulty computer. (very easy on Unibody MBPs, do-able but not so easy on older MBPs)
Put it in a cheap enclosure
Connect it the new computer
Boot up new computer.
If the new computer has never been run before the Setup Assistant will ask if you want to import your apps, data, settings etc from either another mac, another HD connected to the Mac or a Time Machine back up.
Obviously chose the second option (another HD connected to this Mac) and follow prompts.
If the new computer has already been run (so Setup Assistant doesn't run when you boot it up), you will need to use Migration Assistant...or run the installer again so that Setup Assistant runs again.
