How to get Itunes to actually work? cant use it. Help
Since upgrade nothing is working right. It doesn't recognize my iphone or ipad, evrything that I need to do is grayed out where I cant use it. What is the use of having this if it isnt going to work? It doesn't sync, won't let me restore from backup. Totally worthless now.

Can't get popup window to work, could use code help.
This is the first time I've tried to open a popup window in
flash, and I can't get it to work. The site I'm building has the
navigation buttons contained in an animated movie clip. All of the
navigation buttons work fine. But there's a link that the company
wants me to add that opens a window to another site who hosts a
video commercial for the company (it has to be a link to the other
site, it can't be added directly to the customers site).
The link the other company sent me is for javascript (I'll
include it in the attached code), and the code works great if I
just insert the javascript in the html. But I wanted to try and get
the link in the Flash menu. I've tried several versions of the
code, from applying it directly to the button to naming an instance
of it and attaching the actionscript in the movie clip. When I'm
done, I get two different problems. On my XP machine, I get a
warning error about the flash trying to open something to another
server. On my Vista machine, nothing happens at all.
Anyway, I'm including the original javascript and several
versions of the actionscript I've tried (with the actual site
information replaced with "fakeurl.com", wasn't sure how these
forums felt about including site info). Any help at all would be
greatly appreciated. I've searched and searched for about a week,
and I'm tempted to just do away with the Flash button and use a
cheesy javascript button for this one link.
Thanks!

Select your text that you want to act as a trigger to close the window,
just as if you were going to create a link.
Then paste the following line of code into the link Inspector:
javascript:self.close();
That should do the trick.

How to get iTunes Match to work on iPhone 4?
subscribed to iTunes Match, it reviewed my entire music library, did everything it was supposed to do on my desk computer and iTunes Match is turned on and active. When I go to iPhone 4 Settings>Music and set the iTunes Match toggle to 'On', it says I am not subscribed to iTunes Match and I should return to iTunes on my computer to subscribe.
How did you get them to match? When I try to change from [email protected] to [email protected] on my iPhone 4S it keeps going back to the [email protected] setting.

The return of 'Random'.........& how to get it to actually work!
It's good to see 'Random' return in the transition menu when playing album slideshows.....unfortunately you can't select it!?
That's not completely true, you can select it, but it ignores your selection & reverts to the previous chosen one (even when you tick 'Use options as default').
After upgrading to '09 & subsequently loosing the 'Random' option, I changed all my albums to use the dissolve transition. So after updating to 8.0.2 today I got all giddy when I noticed that we'd got 'Random' back. I prepared myself for the laborious task of going through all my albums & changing the settings (yet again). But only if it were that simple............
The only way to select 'Random' is to choose another transition first (eg. cube), tick 'Use options as default', then play. Then, re-enter the settings & change the transition to 'Random', tick 'Use options as default', then play. If all went well it should now display randomly.
Even Frontrow plays them randomly again. It still ignores the specified delay time, but hey....you can't have everything
Whether this update has fixed the forgetting chosen music problem I've been suffering from, only time will tell, it usually takes a few restarts for that one to show upTD.......Just for a laugh I tried your customary cure all response, as expected it didn't change anything
I've got 3 machines here (with different libraries) that are all exhibiting the same problem, so it looks like you're lucky if you're not effected by it..........or am I just the very unlucky one?!?!?!? -

How do I get iTunes 11 to work as the old iTunes did in this respect: after playing a song in one playlist, I click on another playlist, highlight a song, press play, and get the result of that song playing & that playlist continuing? As it goes now, one clicks on the song in the new playlist where the arrow is and then chooses 'Play Song Next.' So, it plays next, but then the song after that is back in the old playlist. I want to use iTunes smoothly without the extra clicks I've had to do in order to get the playlist to continue. This is music for background while I play the violin at restaurants, and extra clicks and hassle is quite unappreciated, especailly since it worked fine in the previous iTunes.
Thanks.At the top of the playlist where it shows the playlist title and the number of songs, there are two icons. Click the "play" triangle to add the entire playlist to "Up Next", or the "shuffle" symbol to do the same thing but in random order. But the currently playing track will stop playing, and all the songs in "Up Next" will be removed (replaced by the ones from this playlist).
If you hold down the "option" key while clicking those icons, the currently playing song will continue playing, and the new playlist will be added to "Up Next" (above the songs that were already there). -

I've lost a load of notes, but dont know why or how to get them back. I cant find the folder that is in my Yahoo account that people have suggested might be the location for the messages. I recently signed into iCloud for the first time. Any idea how to get the notes back? I really dont want to lose them.
It should keep asking for the password, because it's trying to check for purchases... As soon as you login, it will see you have pending downloads and create the downloads section on the left below Purchases under the Store section. Then it will start the music downloads there, as they will be listed one below the other.
You could just try to check your account balance or view your account and that will trigger a password request too. You can just click on that and say that now iTunes keeps asking for the password and ask him to help you with that. Trick would be to interrupt him so that he carries on with another task after, so he doesn't notice the download. Or you carry on with email or browsing which you were "busy" with when iTunes interrupted you for the password (stupid iTunes) -

Update to kichat: FAQ 2 - How to get my router to work with iChat?
kichat: FAQ 2 - How to get my router to work with iChat? December 2008 version 3
(Note to Hosts. to be removed on acceptance. Please use this to replace http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121775 )
Getting your router started with iChat.
Appropriate for using iChatAV 2 upwards. Edits have been made for iChat 4
Glossary for this FAQ
Routers: Any configurable device that sits between your computer and the internet link you have. This includes Modems that Route as well as "routers"
Routers seem to fall into two categories
Those that work straight from the box. See Apple Article HT1787
NOTE :This Article has not been updated in content since Jan 04 Only being changed to an Article from the Previous Doc listing
Even then some list that they need tweaks.
and those that do not.
This post will deal with what you may need to look at.
First off make sure your device is acting as a DHCP server. (if you are already on the internet you may not have to bother with this.)
Check in the Tiger System Preferences > Network Preference Pane, in the "Built in Ethernet" option from the "Show" drop down list.
In Leopard the Networks are listed on the left with icons. The Airport Option will need you to access the Advance Button for the Next bit.
Make sure the TCP/IP tab is the 'front' one. You should be able to see Configure IPv4 and it most likely reads Using DCHP. Make a note of your IP address. It will start 10.xxx.xxx.xxx or 192.168.xxx.xxx (the 'x' s will stand for any number between 1 and 255). The range 172.16.xxx.xxx is also a possible value at this point. Rarely used, but it is part of the RFC for Address Allocation for Private Internets.
Your router is most likely to be configurable from your browser. You will need to find the IP address to type into the browser from any Readme or PDF files that came on the install disk or visit the makers website and download a manual.
The Port Forward.com site lists many devices and clicking on one will take you to a list of Applications. This iChat will open an page that will start by telling you the defaults to access the device
Opening or Allowing ports. Several Methods not all devices have all of them.
DMZ (Demilitarised Zone)
This is a less secure setting that basically opens all ports and points the incoming data to your computer. (not helpful if you have more than one computer on your LAN). It can be considered as an extreme form of Port Forwarding
Port Forwarding (also Virtual Server or Pin Holes)
These settings are usually found in an Advanced setting.
You may need to set an incoming IP address (Usually 0.0.0.0 to any outside server), a port that data will arrive on, the Inside computer's IP address (your computer) and the port it will deal with the data on and the protocol it will use.
See this pic for an example of the description above.
In this example shows that on some Port AND Protocols need to be listed.
iChat uses TCP and UDP so some devices will need the ports listed one by one and some settings done twice, once for each protocol. The example above has a "Both" setting
See Apple Article HT1507 Previously Doc 93208 for more information. This is the Tiger iChat 3 list. The same ports are needed for Leopard except for these changes
My Note 2:
On the first link Note 1 under tables in that link would be better if it read:
" 1. All iChat AV traffic is UDP -
except for ports 5190 and 5298, which need to be open for both TCP as well;
and 5220, 5222, which need to be open for TCP only. "
Note 2
GoggleTalk needs port 5223 on TCP. Also note the Server name for iChat 3 set ups
UPnP Universal Plug n Play.
This is a simple Plug and Play type of setting. iChat can find it's own way through a router if the device has this capability.
By Not doing Port Forwarding, Triggering or DMZ and enabling UPnP the application is allowed to control the modem and the ports that are open.
They close after the application has finished with them on a timed basis.
On some devices the number of "hops" (how far away the UPnP can be "seen") can be reduced from a default of 4)
Trigger Ports
Some devices offer a security measure that works by a first or trigger port receiving a data packet and then opening further ports when accepted.
The first port for incoming Video or Audio invites is port 5678.
Pre iChat 4
When you click on the invite window the process moves in to port 5060 (so these will need to be opened by the trigger port) for negotiating the final group of ports from the group of 20 (16384-16403 These will need to open when the trigger says so as well). Therefore port 5678 triggers ports 5678, 5060, 16384-16403. All on UDP. Port 5190 neeeds to trigger port 5190 for both TCP and UDP.
See this variation where only the ports listed above are completed.
The other single ports need to be set one by one in addition. (5220,5222, 5223 5297, 5298, 5353)Replace
iChat 4
The port used in IChat 4 is port 16402 instead of port 5060. The group of 20 ports is reduced to 10 (16393-16402). This is because all the In and Out Audio and Video data is on one port. Other that than the settings are the same.
At this time there is no Info on the ports the Screen Sharing in iChat 4 uses.
Wireless
Here you will have to read around but this Apple Article TA25949 Previously Doc 58514 might be a good starting place.
Essentially whether you are wireless or Ethernet to your routing device makes very little difference to the way you do things.
Your computer will get two IPs from a DHCP server if you are connected by both methods. (iChat does not like this)
Multiple devices
Make sure only one is acting as a DHCP server. Make sure wireless devices are bridged properly.

I cannot get a recently purchased iPod Shuffle to be recognized in iTunes (which I sync my iPod Touch with). Does anyone know how to get iTunes to recognize it?
Try here > iPod shuffle troubleshooting and service FAQ

I right clicked my iPod on iTunes and clicked restore from back up because i thought it would undo my IOS6 update. IT DELETED ALL MY PICTURES (2,000) AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET THEM BACK!!!! Please help me!!!!!

No doubt it is something really obvious that I'm missing, but I cannot get iTunes Dj to work. If I click on iTunes DJ in the left column, right section of the window says "iTunes DJ" and explains that I can make a continuous mix, but there is no list of music. The play button is greyed out.
The help file says "To select a specific playlist (instead of your library) for the live mix, choose an option from the Source pop-up menu at the bottom of the iTunes window."
but there is no Source pop-up menu at the bottom of the iTunes window.
Any ideas?Do you see the grey bar at the bottom of the screen when you select iTunes DJ, the one with the Settings and Refresh button, as seen in the picture on this web page? If not, then the bottom of the window may just be off the screen on your system so you don't see the Source selector. If that does seem to be the problem, try changing the resolution of your Mac's screen (Displays system preference) to the highest resolution. If it already is, try changing it to a lower resolution, then back. That may get the iTunes window to reappear..
If not, open the Script Editor application, paste in the following text (up to and including the line that says "end tell") and click the "Run" button:
tell application "Finder"
set {d1, d2, d3, d4} to (get bounds of window of desktop)
end tell
tell application "iTunes"
set margins to {d1 + 10, d2 + 54, d3 - 10, d4 - 148}
set bounds of window 1 to margins
end tell
If the iTunes window is running off the screen, that should restore it.
Hope this helps.
