HT1338 I downloaded OS X moutain lion but it won't let me install it on my MAC HD drive. it says it can't becease time machaine use the MAC HD drive. How do I get this Installed?

e time machaine use the MAC HD drive. How do I get this Installed?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
That's because you have a "Backups.backupdb" folder at the root level of the hard disk, so the Mountain Lion installer detects that your OS X partition is being used by Time Machine. Just open Finder, select Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type "/" (without quotes). Finally, delete the "Backups.backupdb" folder and run the OS X installer again

  • HT203167 the only items showing up in my "Purchased" section are the songs i've purchased since i got a new phone but none of the songs i purchased on my old phone (which used the same apple ID). how do i get this stuff back?

    these songs were bought using my old iPhone/on an old computer so it isn't possible for me to copy the files to another device. how do i find them?

    Hello jaggerseyes
    I would check the purchase history to see the purchases. If you have any further questions about it, there is another article that will assist with getting back those purchases resolved.
    On a computer with iTunes installed, click purchase history to have iTunes open and display your purchase history. You will be prompted for your Apple ID and password.

    It can be done because it was done.
    You could have made your question here much easier to understand. You mentioned none of this in your first two posts.
    There's a fairly recent version of that extension for Safari, here: https://code.google.com/p/mailto-chromeextension/downloads/list
    If that doesn't work, maybe you should try using the Chrome version.
    Good luck.

  • How do I keep my email password from remaining in Preferences? I want to enter it every time I get my mail. I upgraded to OS M Lion but it won't let me delete it from preferences. It's worked prior to using M. Lion. Any suggestions? Thanks!! Jen

    How do I keep my email password from remaining in Preferences? I want to enter it every time I get my mail. I upgraded to OS M Lion but it won't let me delete it from preferences (the password from Account Info). Once you enter the password, it keeps it permanently. i do not want that.  It's worked prior to using M. Lion. Any suggestions? Also, The other pressing issue i have is, I DO NOT want ANY mail showing in my inboxes when Mail starts UNTIL i enter that password for each account. Instead of creating different user accounts for the MacBook, it's just easier this way. Or is it? If this is a permanent thing, then I may switch back to Lion. I guess I shoud've waited until the kinks were out before installing (**** Mac-head!)
    Thank you all kindly for any suggestions & your time
    Regards,
    JC

    I DO NOT want ANY mail showing in my inboxes when Mail starts UNTIL i enter that password for each account.
    That is simply not possible with Mail, and never has been.  Anyone who uses your account can see all messages stored in Mail.  The only true solution is to not let other people use your account.  Let other people use the guest account, or if you share the machine with someone else, set up a separate user account for that person.  This will also solve the problem of remembering the password.  It will become a non-issue for Mail to remember your password if nobody else has access to your account.

  • Using a standard midi file, how do I get this to an output port for playing it via midi-cable on an extern keyboard?

    Using a standard midi file, how do I get this to an output port for playing it on an extern midi-keyboard?

    Hi
    Create 1 or more External Instrument tracks as required.
    You could send the MIDIFile to a track set to "All" MIDI channels, or if needed, you could split the file by channel and create indivisual tracks for each.

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

    Hey KEBENNETT, 
    It sounds like you've restored Windows on your PC and iTunes is no longer opening and running normally. 
    I'd recommend using the instructions found at step 4 and 5 in this article to repair or remove/reinstall your iTunes installation:

  • HT4101 Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud.

    Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud. I am able to see any photo I took on the iPad using the iPad camera (in iTunes, photo stream, or when I open windows explorer and browse the iPad director), however I cannot see any photos transfered from my camera to the iPad. The camera connection kit must have put my photos in a directory I cannot get to and cannot sync.

  • I am trying to re-instal Acrobat Pro on my computer after changing OS and resetting everything. I am using the CC panel for intallation. It shows it installed and won't let me install it.

    I am trying to re-instal Acrobat Pro on my computer after changing OS and resetting everything. I am using the CC panel for installation. It shows it installed and won't let me install it. I doubled check everything on my computer and it is not installed. Even more, all my PDF files now show an HTML extension rather that PDF and only opens in my browser, which means the program is not here.
    How to re-install it, please, when the CC panel installer won't let me do it? Thanks!

    Try "Pacifist"!
    Pacifist is an application for Mac OS X that opens up .pkg installer packages, .dmg disk images, .zip, .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .pax, and .xar archives, and more, and lets you install individual files out of them. This is useful if you need to install just one file out of a package instead of the entire package

    I can't sync my ipod because then it will delete everything

    The ipod is not a backup/storage device.  the sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
