How do I get OSX to recognize a folder with an extension as a package (it is NOT a folder, but finder thinks it is...)?
I am using a program (RapidWeaver by RealMac Software) which utilizes OSX "bundle" folders to store data as files. Originally, when I installed the program, double-clicking any of these "sandwich" files would bring up RapidWeaver and open the project for editing. However, OSX suddenly stopped recognizing these "sandwich" files and when I double-click them, OSX automatically, and erroneously, opens them as a folder to reveal the contents inside which include a Contents.plist file, DefaultPageAttributes folder, Pages folder, and README.txt which advises "This is a RW Sandwich (.rwsw) file, which is designed to be a "bundle" (directory) on Mac OS X. If you are reading this, it's assumed that you're somewhat curious about the innards of how the program stores its data.". However, I did not right-click the folder/FILE to access this data; but OSX magically stopped recognizing it as a "bundle" directory, and NOBODY knows why or how this occurred. I have asked the so-called Apple "experts" with their fancy [toilet-paper] diplomas, but they did not know how to remedy the situation (perhaps Apple already fired the skilled [expensive] labour and re-hire [cheaper] gr12 graduates to follow SOP's--as Antech Diagnostic Labs did shortly after invading Canada--to save money? How does a multi-trillion dollar company have to save money? They're selling telephones for $719+ for crying out loud! That's more than the price of ALL the telephone's I've owned in my LIFETIME bar the iPhone 4 I bought; that would of course double that price... oh, and the iPhone 3GS before that for $900 which I guess would triple or quadruple my previous telephone purchases; silly me, spending $900 on a paper-holder...)
Hopefully, someone in this forum is smarter and more knowledgeable than those "on-paper engineers"? Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you to any one out there who has the iMac knowledge to solve this conundrum. Although you may not receive remuneration from Apple Inc., which you should, since being able to answer this question means that you are more knowledgeable about their product than their entire iMac team and CEO!

I went to play some of my purchased songs and a note came up that "the song couldn't be played because the original file can't be located" and an "!" appears beside the songs. I found out that the "!" means the song was deleted. I didn't delete the songs so how do I get them back. They do show up in my purchased songs but it won't let me download it again. Help??
Gina...
It's possible they are no longer available from the iTunes store.
Downloading of past purchases is currently available for TV Shows in Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, and United States only. iOS 5 or later is required for iPhone 4 (CDMA Model).
Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer on the iTunes Store. Downloading past purchased TV Shows requires iTunes 10.3 or later.

How do i get itunes to recognize my device
how do i get itunes to recognize my device
Hello there,
It sounds like your iPod Nano is not seen in iTunes. I recommend the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369
Here is an overview of the troubleshooting to be done:
1. Start with the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
If you haven't already done so, use the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant that applies to your iPod. This will often solve your issue.
If you're still experiencing the issue after going through each of the steps in the assistant, continue with the steps below in this article. The most likely solutions are listed below (for both USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) iPod connections). Check each section starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping your iPod from appearing.
Note: To determine if your iPod syncs via USB or FireWire, check the table in the Additional Information section below.
2. If your iPod displays an exclamation point folder or sad iPod icon
3. Charge the iPod and make sure it is getting power
4. Secure the iPod's connections
5. Disconnect other USB Devices
6. Determine whether your iPod's cable functions properly
7. Place the iPod into Disk Mode
8. Determine which format the iPod is in
9. Verify that USB drivers are installed
10. Determine if Windows confuses iPod with a network drive
11. Determine if third-party software may be causing conflicts
12. Reinstall iTunes
13. Make sure FireWire card is a WHQL-certified IEEE 1394 card
14. Check for a conflict in the FireWire chain
15. Determine if there may be an issue with your computer
16. Your iPod needs service
If the issue persists, try uninstalling iTunes and its associated apps with this article named:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

How can I get iMovie to recognize the external camera?
iMAC running OSX 10.6.8 recognizes external HD Camera hardware, but iMovie fails to recognize the device. I can copy files "manually" using Finder, but cannot import them directly into iMovie. How can I get iMovie to recognize the camera? I have already re-booted all devices and tried multiple USB ports. In all cases the OS recognizes the camera, but iMovie does not.
OK This camcorder is a fine camcorder. I have an earlier model of a similar camcorder from Panasonic. However, this newer model has one problem. It is not compatible with iMovie if you shoot at the highest quality mode, (which is 60P or 50P - which might be called 28MBPS mode). If you shoot 30P or 30i (even 60i) it will import to iMovie. Also, iMovie can handle 1280x720P60 and P50.
It will definitely work on iMovie 11. It should probably work on iMovie 09. I doubt this camera will be recognized at all on iMovie 08, but it is worth a try. To see which iMovie you have, click iMovie/About and check the version. 9.04 would be iMovie 11. (9.08 is the current version, but it will not run on OSX 10.6.8). 8.06 would be iMovie 09. 7.1.4 would be iMovie 08.
OK So how to work around this limitation?
1) If you have Final Cut Pro X ($300) or can justify buying it, it will import 60P and 50P from this camera. However, if this seems a little pricey to you, keep reading.
2) If you set your camera to record in 1080P30 and shoot a short clip, then iMovie should see the camera. Then I would suggest using iMovie import screen to create a CAMERA ARCHIVE of your camera. This will copy to your Mac the entire contents of the video files on your camera. You will need them later. I am assuming you have some valuable footage on the camera that you would like to have.
3) Going forward, the simplest thing is to shoot in 1920x1080P30 and use iMovie normally. The biggest advantage of P60 or P50 is when you need really high quality slow motion effects. In other words, after you edit your movie, everything is converted to P30 or P25 anyway.
4) If you want to retrieve the 1080P50 or 1080P60 clips that you have shot, then there are a couple of apps you can buy to convert them to a form that iMovie can edit. Two such apps are ClipWrap and Voltaic HD. There are also various free apps, but I cannot vouch for them. Do a search on google and you may find some that work. -
How do I get iTunes to recognize a new device if I accidentally did not hit new device when I first hooked it up? I hit the button that said I wanted to back it up from my old phone. The new phone is my husbands and I don't want to back up my phone info on it. I re connected it hoping it would prompt me with the option again and it doesn't , it just shows up as a back up to my phone. How can I get it to give me that option in the beginning again
First of all, I think the first time you sync an iPod that's formatted for Windows on a Mac, the sync process reformats it for Mac. You can check what it is now by looking for the iPod with Disk Utility. If it's Mac OS Extended, it's formatted for Mac already.
Also, there is no current iPod updater app these days. iTunes handles it through the Restore button. If you are not able to use the latest iTunes because of your Mac, I can understand. The latest version of iTunes should run with 10.3.9 or later, if the hardware can handle it.
You said the battery was low so let it recharge for a while.
You should also reset the iPod. It's part of the 5Rs, which you should go through as the starting point for iPod trouble-shooting.

I use my Adobe programs from the Creative Cloud. When our design agency sends me files, I open them and fonts I have on my computer aren't showing up when I open the file. Everywhere online it says I need to add the fonts to InDesign's font file, but since I'm working out of the Creative Cloud, I don't have that option. How do I get InDesign to recognize these fonts when I'm opening files from our agency?
ID sees fonts installed on your computer and contained in a Document Fonts folder in the same folder as the document, if one exists.
I don't really understand what you are saying about fonts you have installed not showing up. And cloud makes no difference -- all the applications and support files are installed on your hard drive. -

The easy way is to Purchase an External Enclosure like the Startech USB 3.0 S2510BPU33 with UASP, its a Super Fast connection, SATA 3.1 @ 6 Gb/s.
Just Pop your SSD inside the enclosure and use OS X Disk Utility to clone your existing HDD. This enclosure is So Fast you would not even have to open up your Mini to install the SSD, just Boot Externally you would Never Know the difference and your Warranty won't be affected by opening it up.

There is a file that says 'iTunes Library (damaged), which is the iTunes Database file. How can that file be re-created?
Any technical help on replacing that file with a new, fresh one would be appreciated!It has always been very basic to maintain a backup of media and other important files. If you chose to reinstall the OS without having a backup, well that just is not smart.
If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, iTunes purchases can be redownloaded via iCloud. Simply log into the iTunes store, select purchases, purchase history and redownload the content.
If you are not in the US.... well, seems you just learned and important and possibly expensive lesson. -

How do you get Itunes to recognize all the music in your library when you buy the backup in the cloud? Alot of my music was not backed up. These are songs I burned off my CD collection. Itunes Match did not recognize them either?
*What am I doing wrong?*
You moved it to the server.
You should let iTunes do it.
Point iTunes prefs to the new location.
