HT1203 I moved my Itunes media folder to my public folder in my home folder so that my wife can share my music when she logs on to my computer. Since then aperture has been unable to locate the music files and I cannot add any of my itunes files to a slid

I moved my itunes media folder to my public folder in my home folder so that my wife can share my music when she logs on as a user. Since doing this Aperture cannot locate any itunes music files and so I cannot add any music to a slideshow. All of my existing slideshows no longer play music. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Thank you for your prompt response - I did as you said and did a drag and drop into the iTunes window - it imported and got my album art from the net. When I started Itunes with the shift key down I was prompted to choose a library but since I copied over the media folder and not the library folder I was unable to select that so I guess I will have to create a new library and add in all the music, videos, etc. unless I wait for my laptop and export the library or at least that seems to be the case? In short, all my data (iTunes media folder) is on my external drive and can be added to the blank iTunes screen but I can not choose a library folder. Is there anyway around completely making all those playlists again? I am not sure my laptop will survive the shop with data intact and really hate to start over on those.
In an unrelated question - I collect old TV shows from the 1950's. Can I make playlists within the home video folder somehow?  In other words like one for Quiz shows, one for comedies, one for police and detective shows, etc. while I am remaking all my playlists for my music if I end up having to go that route?
Once again thank you for helping me out. I am not too Itunes savvy and really appreciate you taking the time to answer.

  • Has anyone else discovered that their MacBookPro has been set up for 'no available users' and so cannot use any new applications?

    I've had my MacBook Pro for several months. Sadly I've not been able to use it for my work (I'm a  writer) as I couldn't open my software, Final Draft. I installed it several times, uninstalling it each time to avoid glitches, but every time I tried to open it I had an error message, that the permissions had to be reset. I went onto disk utilities and did everything I could to reset/repair. I spent days and weeks on the phone both to Apple and to Final Draft, but no one could help.
    Apple were adamant that it was a software error and so today I bought yet another version of Final Draft (£140), this time from the net, and downloaded that. Same old same old. Once again, over and over,  I followed the  'trouble shooting permissions' advice on the Apple website, still no luck. Finally, finally, tonight, a technician was able to take me through an obscure routine which ended up with the message that my laptop had been set up with 'No Available Users'.
    In effect it's a useless piece of metal and has been from day one.
    Thanks, Apple.
    Anyone else had a laptop set up for no available user?

    I'm not sure that I followed everything, but you got a replacement phone and continue to experience problems? It sounds like a logical move would be to have AT&T replace your SIM card. I would doubt that the size/fit is an issue, these things are a standard size, but replacing the SIM will have an impact on the network set-up that might be the root cause.

    I recently updated my IOS using the beta found on an iTunes account link... Ever since then I've been unable to log into my iMessages and FaceTime account through my iTunes.  The only explanation it gives me is that my connection was lost.... What to do?

    It was downloaded through my iTunes account... So im sure it wasn't pirated. It's nothing more than a beta test to work out the bugs.  But do u have any suggestions as to how i can about redownloading the same iOS but now the 'bugs' should be all worked out....

  • I have recently installed Mavericks and since then I have been unable to shut down or log out of my mac.  I work with two screens and now I seem to have programmes at the top of both screens which I didn't before.  any advice?

    I have recently installed Mavericks on my desk top and since then I have been unable to switch off my computer without crashing it. I work with two screen and now I seem to have the menu bar on the second screen as well which I did not have before.  Can you please help me?

    Dr Bettina, I had similar problems with Mavericks. I installed it on a Mini and a 13" MacBook Pro. I can't speak to your disdplay issues, but I can confirm the inability to logout, shut down, or restarft without a forced, power button shut down. I can also report frequent System Prefs freezes and finder issues, like folder contents taking half a minuite or more to render, or not appearing at all. And while a few Adobe CC apps actually ran faster, InDesign ran like molasses uphill in Decemner.
    I tried uninstalling or disabling numerous 3rd party apps and pref panes. I unplugged everything but the keyboard, ran DiskWarrier, repaired permissions, did fsck -f, trashed various preference files, reinstalled the OS... You name it, and I tried it — short of a potion using eye of newt.
    After two days of totally hosed productivity, I restored OS 10.8.5 on the Mini so I could actually get some work done. However, I've decided to leave Mavericks on the MBP as a sort of crash dummy, and will install and thoroughly test all updates until stability has been achieved. Then — and only then — will I upgrade the Mini to Mavericks, even if it means waiting 'til a .2 or even .3 update.
    Good luck to you...

    Hi Dan,
    I tried to reset settings but it didn't seem to help much. Then I read a few posts about deleting my email accounts and recreating them, and that actually seemed to help a bit. Now the only time I notice it gets heated up is when I am either on whatsapp or Instagram...that's it!

    my ipod touch4 has been stolen. i have the serial number with me. is there any way to find it?

    The SN will only help identify the iPod as yours if it is recovered.
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • Since updating my iTunes I no longer have any controls.  iTune covers the entire desktop and I cannot add from my files.  Can anyone please advise me.

    Since updating my iTunes I no longer have any controls.  iTune covers the entire desktop and I cannot add from my files.  Prior to updating I had a perfectly good iTunes which would allow me to stories for including on a iPod. 
    Can anyone please advise me.

    From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
    Take the following steps:
    1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
    2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
    The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
    I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
    Hope this helps!

  • On my mac how do I send an attachement from Firefox to a 3rd party? I have been unable to locat the proper icon.

    trying to send from firefox an attachment to a 3rd party and unable to locate the proper icon.

    Firefox doesn't have a built-in emailer, so I'm guessing you are using your provider's webmail site. Each site has different buttons for adding attachments. Do you want to indicate which one you're using to see whether anyone can provide specific comments?
    Also, your browser reported to the forum that you are running Forefox 3.6.13, which is a very old version with numerous publicly disclosed security vulnerabilities. Is that version number correct? (You can compare Help > About Firefox)

  • When user click "My Site clicking My Content states: There has been an error creating the personal site. etc

    Hello community
        Using Sharepoint 2010 Server and the UI on its intranet there is a My Site.  After creating the My Site the user account that created the intranet easily can create it's My Site, My Content and My profile.  But when I logon as
    a user
    when I try to create the My site I get an error stating"  "There has been an error creating the personal site.  Contact your site administrator for more information". In the Event viewer log pasted below it says: A failure was encountered
    and User cannot be found.  So I check the UPS Synchronization and I can find the username  in UPS "Manage User Profile" and I can logon with the username I just can't create the My Content after clicking My Site.  The funny
    thing is if I click My Profile the My Profile page appears (although it is a one-way trust relationship if I use "Check Names" when I try to "Add User" to a group an error message appears stating "No match found. etc). So the
    question is how come the account that created the intranet can create 
    My Site and create My Profile and My Content but if a regular user account logs on and clicks My Site, My Profile and get a page but clicking My Content produces that error that says:  "There has been an error creating the personal site.  Contact
    your site administrator for more information". (Note: The output from Event Viewer is posted below)?
        Thank you

  • HT4623 I have just updated my iphone 4 to OS 6.0, but since then I have been unable to access my emails, also facebook and ebay apps are slow to load

    I have just updated my iphone 4 to OS 6.0, but since then I can't access my emails as when trying to open a particular email I am presented with a blank screen. Other apps such as facebook and ebay take an absolute age to open.
    Is anyone else having problems? what can I do to put it right?

    I am having this problem.  At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2.  I am not sure why this is happening. 
    My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
    The problem mainly occurs with apps.  I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them.  The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
    Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage.  It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup.  With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up.  The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
    My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete.  This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
    I have been wondering if others have had these same problems. 

  • I bought my iphone 4s in August, since then it has gotten really hot on the back of the phone and shut off automatically three times.  Is this common?

    I bought my iphone 4s in August of this year.  Since then it has gotten really hot and shuts off automatically.  When it does this, I had not been on the phone using it.  Is this a common occurance?

    This is not a common occurrence. You should make an appointment at an Apple Store to have the phone checked.

  • Thunderbird encrypted the mail inbox and I cannot read any email

    When I open the inbox, all emails are encrypted (with symbols and numbers) and I cannot read any email. How I can recover all the emails or solve the problem?

    Thunderbird does not encrypt anything. What you are seeing is more than likely file corruption.
    Right click the problem folder and select Properties. Then Repair Folder.
    Be prepared to lose messages if the corruption is too bad.
    Read this article about system maintenance to help prevent this in the future.
