    Make an appointment at the genius bar.
    If you went without an appointment, then it would make sense that you could be turned away.

  • How can I get itunes to download and install?

    How can I get itunes to download and install?

    You need to install it - just downloading does not necessarily install it. If you double click it, does it open an installer window? Or, can you simply drag it into your Applications folder (if it is not showing in Launchpad)?
    FWIW, your downloads folder is just a temporary "holding" place for your downloads - once you have installed applications or moved other files where they belong, you can empty that folder.
    PS - If this is what you downloaded, it is a disk image (.dmg) which means you need to double click it; you then need to move the icon and install it.
    Out of curiosity: is it working well? I'm curious because it is rather dated software.

    I am having problems with the InDesign it won't download it keeps saying extract when its about 30% then it says failed. How can i get it to download all the way?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Am in Europe (UK) with iPad. Comput er(Mac) at home. Bandought videos and iCloud storage, but still can not download all the videos. How can I get them to store in the cloud and come out a gain to my iPad? Need something to watch at night,etc. tx

    Hi all. I. Bought videos from iTunes and also bought the lowest amount of extra iCloud storage. I assumed the videos could be stored in the  cloud and called back automatically to the iPad when I needed them. They won't all download, Apple hasn't answered my call for help via e mail, and I don't know what to do. I deleted stuff from the iPad and got rid of some of the videos I'm not watching (hoping to maybe download them again later on).
    I don't get how the Cloud works, and I don't really know which article to read for info. HELP?
    thanks,
    Isabella

    Not all video is available for redownload. 
    Purchasing more icloud storage has nothing to do with itunes purchases.
    Itunes purchases ( the ones that are made available for redownload) are automatically available in icloud.  you do not have to purchase any icould storage for this.
    You should not delete anything.  you should always have a backup copy.
    Movies are only available for redownload in the U.S:
    Learn more about which content types are supported for iTunes in the Cloud by country, as well as where iTunes Match is available.

  • How can I get iTunes to transfer only the HD version???

    Hello,
    Is there a way I can set iTunes to transfer only the HD version of a video to AppleTV, and not include the SD version, while keeping both versions in the iTunes library?
    Currently, both versions are being transferred when I sync.
    Regards.

    The bottom line:
    ..... please detail what you are seeing in your render dialog when the program is doing a
    Timeline rendering of your red lined Timeline content.
    Longer Detail Version:
    Timeline rendering is a preview feature that does not fix anything. All it does is give you an idea of what you have and wants to give you the best possible preview. You do not have to do this type of rendering. The "but" is that this is your window of opportunity to catch a problem sooner than later.
    When the render dialog comes up, what is it actually saying in the render dialog.......
    Rendering __of___Video Previews
    and underneath that
    Rendering frame _____of_______
    How many clips do you have on that Timeline - 10?
    At first I thought you wanted to know how to render just a selected few of the Timeline clips rather than all of them. I can tell you how to do that and
    go into great detail of that. That involves
    a. in the Edit workspace, setting the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar to span just the clips you want rendered
    The above is from Premiere Elements 11, not 7, but the principles are the same with regard to what I mean
    by render indicator line (in your case red instead of orange) and gray tabs of the Work Area Bar, Your
    version does not have a Render button. You could just hit the Enter key of the computer main keyboard if
    you have Timeline content with a red line over it (that means the program is not giving you the best
    possible preview to let you know what you really have). If necessary, I post some screenshots specific to your version (7).
    But, for now, please detail what you are seeing in your render dialog when the program is doing a
    Timeline rendering of your red lined Timeline content.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to let me know.
    Thanks.

  • HT3413 How can I get composite video out of the 13" early/mid 2009 MacBook?

    OK, the Mini-DVI - DVI Adapter "works with" the 13-inch, Early and Mid 2009 MacBooks.
    But can it combine with a DVI to S-video and composite adapter so I can play video from my MacBook (one of the above) to my TV (composite input)?
    It is stated in many places that the Mini-DVI to S-video and composite adapter doesn't "work with" these models, and I've proven that's the case.
    But I can't find anywhere that explains why, or says more than "works with," or just tells me how I could get any external video from my MacBook other than VGA which is useless to me as far as I can tell.
    Thanks for any help!

    Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
    Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
    1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
    2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
    3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
    4. Press COMMAND-E.
    5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
         /usr/bin/drutil eject
    If this fails then try this:
    Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

  • How can I get iTunes to automatically find the file for songs marked with ! without manually doing each one?

    Ok, we've had a problem with our external hard drive which holds all of our music files (our H drive).  It's the 2nd time going down and we're just chalking it up as a failure.  Fortunately, we had it all backed up onto another external hard drive (our G drive).  We re-did iTunes back in February (bringing all the files in, sorting, playlists, etc) after fixing it the first time.  So I have that exact files from then (on the G drive) minus a new CD or two, nothing major.  But when I open that iTunes library, it doesn't find the music that is connected to it - even though all the music is in the folder connected to the library (all in G drive).  I'm not sure if this file is still trying to look for my H drive folder.
    I found a previous question asked on here about the ! songs.  I brought in all the music from the iTunes/Music folder.  So of course, I have double now.  I would just go delete all the rest - except for this.  What about my playlists??   I don't really want to recreate each one manually.  I have also adjusted a ton of info in iTunes over the years to make things easier (fixed spelling when it brings it from a CD wrong, etc).  That brings me back to wondering if I could have iTunes automatically search for its own file instead of me doing it for 7,500+ songs.
    Any ideas??   Or am I just stuck doing a lot of work?
    Thanks!

    If what is on the G: drive is a mirror of what was on the H: drive, then get Windows to change the drive letter of G: to H:
    If a simple fix isn't forthcoming then my FindTracks script should be able to reconnect the missing tracks to iTunes. FindTracks uses some fuzzy matching routines and searches for multiple potential locations. For more details see this thread.

  • How do i get itunes to download on my external, and not my desktop?

    I've been trying to get iTunes to download in my external hard drive instead of on my desktop; but every time I download iTunes it starts downloading automaticly onto the desktop. I don't have enough memory on my desktop to transfer all my music onto their, so how can I get it to download onto the external instead? If anyone could help me with this problem I would really appreceate it.

    Download and install iTunes normally, launch it with the Shift key held down, and create a new library on the external drive.

  • How can I get Itunes 7 to burn to my external La Cie burner, and not my internal Pioneer burner, which is behaving unreliably?

    Is there a way to reset the default CD burner? I have an internal pioneer burner the DVR105, and an external firewire La Cie burner. The La Cie burner is much newer  and will burn properly. However, itunes 7 is trying to burn to the internal DVR105 only, and it keeps giving me errors.
    How can I get Itunes to burn to the healthy la Cie? I know my Toast software recognizes it...I have burned DVDs to the La Cie many times before  in Toast. Itunes offers me no option to select which burner to use, unlike Toast. My OS is Panther.
    thx
    c-post

    Sorry, Itunes is not giving me that dialog. Lemme tell you, it did give me a related dialog earlier today when my La Cie was not connected. Apparently it defaulted back to the Pioneer at that time. I have since reconnected the La Cie, and the system is seeing it, however Itunes won't offer me the option to burn to the La Cie. It just burns to the Pioneer, then gives me an error saying it can't burn the CD.

  • How can I get iTUNES library to display renamed files and folders (renamed with Windows Explorer)?

    How can I get iTunes library to display the new names and organisation of tracks and albums (ie files and folders) that I have renamed and reorganised (using Windows Explorer) having previously imported them using iTunes?
    (Even when I relocate "lost" tracks in iTunes (using the drop down menu facility to view in Windows explorer), although iTunes will then play the track, and knows where to find it, it refuses to display the track with its correct (new) name, or show it the correct (new) album.  That means I have lots of things called "Untitled" and "Track 01" etc, all of which have actually been renamed, but iTunes does not seem to have the capability to recognise the changes and update its library listing.  Another example - a Tchaikovsky CD with 3 major works in 13 tracks insists on displaying in iTunes as 13 tracks in one album, despite the fact that I have reorganised the tracks into 3 albums - two being Swan Lake and The Nutcracker - and renamed the individual tracks to a more useable format.)

    Thanks for your replies ckuan
    I agree with Tgod that your first solution does not work.  It appears unpredictable whether the old or new file names are listed when you drag the folders into iTunes from Windows Explorer.  The folder structure is completely missing.  I reckon if you have to muck around spending days/weeks/months finding out how to fix links to a secret meta-file (obviously designed by some deep-cover microsoft worm working in the Apple!), then it's pretty obvious that almost any alternate way of doing this would be better.   Bye bye iTunes!!
    Incidentally, I tried several other things that (if the software was designed intuitively) should work, but give disastrous results:
    1) when deleting the library listing in iTunes, it gives you two options - one is to remove the listings to the Recycler.  Be aware that IF you select that option, it removes not only your library listing, but also your ACTUAL MUSIC FILES to the Recycler.  Moreover, it does NOT remove the insidious secret meta-file that is what apparently keeps rewriting old names over your carefully renamed file names, and keeps totally ignoring your carefully designed folder (album) structure.  OK - not a complete disaster, as I realised and went hunting through the chaos in the Recycler to recover all my files.  No thanks to the genius who designed this brilliant feature!
    2) after deleting the library listing in iTunes, I attempted to import just the folders that I wanted.  iTunes refused to allow me to do that, and proceeded to try to import every frigging music file it could find on my whole hard drive, in apparently random fashion into the library.  Whoever thought up that doozy either never ever tried to use or market test it, or has modified their mind rather too many times with artificial substances so their brain is like muesli chop suey.
    3) oh why go on, it's too depressing ...

  • HT1918 How do I get iTunes to charge my credit card instead of using up my apple credit balance?

    My credit card is offering me a $5 statement credit if I spend at least $5 on iTunes.  Problem is I have a large credit balance - how can I get iTunes to charge my credit card instead of using up my apple credit?

    If you have a balance on your iTunes account then that will automatically be used for purchases before your credit card will be - you can't change how items are billed.
    You could try gifting items to yourself, you can only gift via a credit card (I haven't tried it but I think that you should be able to gift items to yourself)
