  • How to reinstall pre-installed iWorks after hard drive replaced?

    iWork was pre-installed on my iMac (July 2010) 3.2 gHz i3 running OS10.6.8. The original hard drive was recalled by Apple and replaced. I backed up all data to Crash Plan prior to the change out. When I tried to open any of the iWorks programs I received the following error message:
    I checked my install discs and application install discs, but iWork does not show up there. How can reinstall these programs?

    Thanks, mate, but the computer did not come with any iWork DVD. It only had the OS install disc and the Application restore disc, neither of which contain iWork. The error message reads: "Pages cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Pages works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X. Clic Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple."
    I sent a report to Apple. This message repeats for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. My original receipt shows the iWork app was paid for.

  • How do I restore a folder after hard drive replacement?

    At the end of November, I bought Panther, primarily for the Time Machine application. I installed the OS and set up Time Machine to back up my Users folder (not the entire hard drive) to an external hard drive. Last week, my internal hard disk crashed, and was replaced under the AppleCare warranty.
    How do I restore my Users folder to the new hard drive? I have told Time Machine to use the external hard drive, and all the folders are on that external hard drive, but when I go into Time Machine the application doesn't recognize that anything has been backed up. On the right edge of the window, the bars don't have date labels when I scroll over them.
    Online Mac help says that it is possible to restore an entire hard drive, by restarting with the disk utilities DVD. However, I don't think that would work for me, since I backed up only the Users file, not the entire internal drive.

    You can not easily change the "short name" of an Account -- the name which is used for the Home folder among other things.
    You CAN create a new account with the naming your want (System Preferences / Accounts) but if you are having file/folder permissions problems they may still remain due to the fact that the system actually knows accounts by numeric IDs that are made visible as the "short name".
    This can be a little tricky to sort out.
    One thing you might want to try is using Migration Assistant and pointing it at your Time Machine drive as source. Tell it you just want the Account (no applications or settings). It may be able to create a new account (bearing the original name) and bring your files over for you correctly. You will have to set account preferences yourself, and since you didn't save system files on your Time Machine, you will have to re-install applications from the original application install sources.

  • HT204406 iTune 11556 error message! Just finish uploading my music and can't connect to iTune match!

    After purchasing iTune Match & almost finishing uploading 2500 songs, I can't connected to iTune match from either my Macmini or iPad. It gives me the 11556 error message. Anyone encountered the same problem and have any clue how to fix it please.
    Many thanx.

    I've been experiencing the same problem for the past month. I thought that it might be my older 3rd generation apple TV, so I purchased a new one yesterday. Hooked the new one up this morning and I'm experiencing the same problems. I've rebooted the apple tv a few times which doesnt really seem to help. I'm guessing it has something to do with my home network. I took the Apple TV to the beach with me last week and didn't get any error loading problems. I guess now I just need to figure out what I need to change on my network to hopefully remedy this problem. ugh, it's always something.

  • Can't update iTunes Match after upgrading to 11.1.5

    Hi,
    Is anyone else (in Australia) having problems with iTunes Match after upgrading to iTunes 11.1.5 on Mac? I’ve found that whenever I play a track (i.e. update the play count), set a rating or edit a playlist, all my cloud songs become greyed out, the updates are not synced to the cloud (don’t appear on other devices), the iTunes Cloud music icon gets a lightning bolt through it (lost connect), and then my changes are lost. I can reconnect as many times as I like (by clicking on the cloud icon or restarting iTunes) and for a while everything ‘looks’ fine (can download and play songs) but actually nothing is saved to the cloud and the lightning bolt appears again when I make any of the above updates. I have another computer that still has 11.1.4 and iTunes Match is working fine on it.
    James

    Thanks Michael, I’d already tried both those (including applying the latest OS X security update and restarting). I kept trying to use iTunes Match every hour, and eventually it started working on my 11.1.5 computer and has staying working for the rest of the day. 11.1.4 was working the whole time.

  • How can I force iTunes Match to upload a "Duplicate" to the iCloud?

    I have one album where the first track was uploaded, and the other eleven tracks are all tagged as "Duplicates." These tracks were not uploaded to the iCloud. How can I force iTunes Match to upload these eleven tracks erroneously tagged as Duplicates?

    I'm adding my 2¢ because I just "discovered" iTunes Match yesterday and decided to subscribe thinking there was no downside (doh!).
    Well, firstly, there's the enormous downside of Apple's structure not being able to keep up with (what they should have known would be) enormous interest... my iTunes has been matching for >20-hours and has yet to reach half-way up my library. BTW: I thought I read the iTunes Match info fairly thoroughly prior to subscribing and did not see anything about it being for songs vrs full library.
    And secondly, and even more important to me, is that Apple's method of determining duplicate songs is not robust enough, especially for classical music and audio books (e.g., LoTR). I have >12000 "songs" in my library, and Match has determined a boatload are duplicates. They are not of course and even if Apple's duplicate-determining algorithm just looked at disc & track numbers it would "know" that. Anyway, there's a fairly good chance I will not have one complete album upload/match out of >500 albums. That's nae Scottish, in anybody's book.
    Gotta say, using Garage Band to individually alter >2000 "songs" on the off-chance that may assist Apple's duplicate algorithm to be correct is not gonna happen. If, after the matching/uploading is complete, I still have >even 100-not-duplicate-songs listed as duplicates, I'm getting my $29.95 subscription back.
    ... and C: does anybody know why Apple's Lion spell check doesn't work on Apple's discussion forums???

  • How do I copy iTunes from external hard drive to iMac?

    How do I copy iTunes from external
    Hard drive to iMac?

    if your main library is on your external, then when not connected, you wont have access to it.
    so first decide, where do you want to keep the files.
    E.g. In my case, I keep my files on "C:\iTunes Music".
    I have a backup on external "Z:\iTunes Backup". If I format my laptop, this is how I restore everything.
    Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced.
    The iTunes music folder in selects as "C:\iTunes Music"
    I have checked Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized, and also Copy Files to iTunes Music folder when adding to ibrary". Click OK to save and close preferences.
    My iTunes list is now empty. I go to file, and select "Add Folder to Library". From that window, I select "Z:\iTunes Backup". iTunes then copies everything from the backup to "C:\iTunes Music". For me, backup is backup, I dont need it to play music.
    Now decide this. If you do not want to keep music on C:, but want to only connect the external to update music on your ipod, do this:
    In preferences, set iTunes Music folder as "Z:\iTunes Backup", and uncheck Copy files to iTunes Music folder, since they are already there. Then in files, select Add folder to library again to build and update the list.

  • Issue connecting with iTunes Match

    Hi, i've got an issue connecting with iTunes Match. Most of the time iTunes doesn't connect to iTunes Match when launching the app. I just see the cloud symbol that indicates it tries to connect. And it just keeps on going. I then have to quit iTunes and relaunch it. Type in my Apple ID password. And still nothing. But around a third or fourth time I usually get a connecting going and then listen to music
    And I'm not impatient. I give it some minutes everytime while opening and browsing the iTunes Store.
    And the same thing happens after Sleep Mode. It is kind of annoying. Having open and close iTunes all the time.
    Is there anything I can do? Am I perhaps doing something wrong? Is anyone experiencing the same problem or issue?
    Thanks.  

    Hi,
    Yes, your music remains on you computer.

  • Tried restoring iPad to prepare it to sell, encountered error now iTunes won't recognize.  The iPad just shows the connect to iTunes even after restarting.

    I tried restoring iPad1 to prepare it to sell, encountered error during the restore.  iTunes dispalyed a message that there had been an error.  My iPad1 is just showing the image to connect to iTunes, even after i try restarting the iPad1.  I've also restarted my PC and iTunes will not recognize the iPad1.
    iTunes is and will recognize my new iPad3 just fine.
    How do I get my iPad1 to come back to life?
    Thanks!

    No luck.  The article says to press and hold the home button, then plug in the usb cable.  When i do that, I still just have the connect to itunes image on the iPad, and iTunes is not recognizing the iPad.
