HT1386 mac itunes is current but not good enough for mini. how to get min to sync?
The Mac itunes is current but not the same as the mini. Do i have to purchase software in order to add another device the mini onto my growing pile of apple? Will this upgrade effect the other older apple devices running older versions?
What is the OS on your Mac and what version of iTunes? For the OS version click on the Apple logo in the top left corner then About this Mac.

Help pls....have os x 10.4 not good enough for itunes or iPhone?
Hi All,
I have a macbook version 10.4.11. I have had it for a long time but honestly i probably use about 1 % of it! And i really don't know much about how to use it, i just use it for the internet.
I now have an iPhone, but i don't have a good enough version of iTunes. I have tried to download the latest version, but it says i need at least os x 10.5. I can't seem to find out how to get this? Do i need to buy it or can i just download it? I can find a lot about getting snow leopard, but that says it requires at least os x 10.5 to download it but i don't have that.
So what do i need to do? Do i need to buy os x 10.6? I just can't seem to find os x 10.5 anywhere which is what i need and want i i have got it right?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!kurt188: I believe all true Macbooks are Intel and it is the preceeding iBook that is the PPC equivalent. Still, it's good to double check which the OP has.

Laserjet P1006 works better but not good enough in Windows 8.1
Background: I ran the Windows 8 pre-install check for hardware compatibility. It said I would be able to use my HP Laserjet P1006. That was wrong. The printer never worked once under Windows 8.0. That was over a year without a home printer unless I carried it to my wife's Windows 7 laptop to use.
Current situation: I got the Windows 8.1 upgrade (64-bit). The drivers are now available. I re-installed the Laserjet P1006 and it can be used from my desktop and shared to my wife's Windows 7 on the wireless home network.
Issues:
1) if paper runs out there is no way to restart the printing and the print must be cancelled from the X button on the printer... because there is nothing on the print queue after paper runs out.
2) if you don't wait for the printout to finish before you print another document, then the printer will hang for a very long time (20 minutes) and eventually print the end of document 1 and then document 2. Apparently this is related to 1) above, because the print queue will only show the second document when the first is still not completed.
3) even with power saver turned OFF, drives off NEVER, etc. the network sharing of this printer requires that I wake the monitors, enter the password, and finally STOP/START the SPOOLER SERVICE. Even then it's likely we won't get the shared printer to work on the same day... but likely it will print much later when some miracle occurs.
I have some other printers that have recently been gifted with W8.1 drivers. I can try them to see if these spool and communication problems are pervasive (Windows 8.1) or specific to the P1006 driver.
I have actually loaded the HASP deck for an NJE/RJE station on the TUCC. My first PC was an OSBORNE I. I cut my teeth on KIM-1 and Commodore P.E.T. machines.Hi AZBen,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I read your post and you are having issues printing and using the printer sharing.
I will be happy to help you.
The printer has a USB connection and works properly when connected directly to a computer by a USB connection through the software.
Can't guarantee printer sharing will work.
You want to use the normal USB slot 2.0 not the latest USB 3.0. USB 3.0 are supposed to be backwards compatible.
Temporarily turn off and any Firewalls and Antivirus software to see if this will resolve the issue.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
Have a wonderful day!

Time machine backup suddenly not good enough for my 2011 MBP
My macbook pro refused to back up today, stating that the identity of the time machine backup that it has been using for several months has changed identity. It then proceeded to backup the ENTIRE computer again to a new sparsebundle named the exact same thing but with a 1 after it.
I was able to connect to and explore the original backup by pointing time machine to it, but when it backed up next it made the new sparsebundle again.
What gives? How can i force the computer to use the old backup again?Hi C,

I've twice tried to use iTunes match. It stalls in step 2. I've rebooted my iMac computer and it still stalls. Apple's taken the $25 but not delivered the service. Can I get some personal help? There are 12,733 songs, a few dozen of which are not going to be in the Apple music library because they are unique to my collection. Also, some titled "Track XX" and no artist. I assume these would either not upload or else just be uploaded. But, after an overnight of step 2, the iTunes match program was still on song number 7384 or 12733 (it was on that number for over 12 hours). Looking in the music library, activating the iCloud icon and status fields, there were hundreds of songs with the status "waiting."

Kernel panics:
After taking my late 2009 15 inch macbook pro to the apple store, the genius completely erased my computer and reinstalled the Mac OS X software, but the problem still persists.
I also took it to my college tech support center, they tried to take the ram out and reinsert it and clean up the dust, but the problem still remains.
I am able to use my computer in Safeboot mode (only)
Well it could still be a software problem if you installed a third party program after the OS X wipe and install, because by booting into Safe Mode it disables certain functions of OS X and hardware. Check for updates or problems for all your third party software, include everything, including menulets, System Preference panes, hacks and so forth.
If you restored any sort of software from backup like TimeMachine, it likely was corrupted data and now is returned.
If the college tech support found a lot of dust clogging the rear exhaust vents behind the fans, then likely the heat damage done to the machine has already occured and can't be reversed. Video cards are usually first to go, which Safe Mode does disable the video card somewhat.
Run through this list of fixes, it's systematic in nature, also has a Hardware Test to see what's going on

Too bad this is occurring to a mere 4 year old machine, but dust will do that. Here is the culprit that Apple doesn't tell anyone about. -
I just bought iphone 5 and my itunes says I need itunes 10.7 But when I look for upgrades it says I have the current version of itunes. HELP!
I am so sorry I am frustrating you. This is the first time I have used this community and am leanring as I go. I am not able to see the entire post that you leave, unless I look at it on my phone (email)--I am so sorry. You have no idea how much i appreciate your help. Yes, I see that I can get the later version of OS software, but its not availabe for immediate download. My only options appear to be having it shipped, or going to the store to purchase. And if you know of another way that I can access all of my itunes library music on my new phone withouth using itunes, I would love to hear about it.--thanks and again i am so sorry for frustrating you.

I have tried to install iCloud on to my Windows Vista pc. No control panel is present and when I try to login to iCloud using my iTunes id, I am told that it is an Apple id but not set up for the cloud. without the control panel where do I set up my iCloud id?
You can not setup a new iCloud account using a PC. You must use an Apple device (Mac or iPhone/iPad) to create the account, then sign into it using your PC.

i bought some ringtones on my iPhone, later on i sync my iphone to my old computer now i have a new mac pro desktop and i only have 2 ringtones on my phone but not the rest of them how can i get them back without having to pay for them again?
If you bought them on your iPad then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPhone - ringtones are a one-time only download, so you won't be able to redownload them directly on your phone.

How can I force mount a dvd that isn't even seen by Disk Utility? I can see it on the Mac when using my Windows 7 partition via Boot Camp, but not in Lion, which is how I would rather be running.
Well if there is a EFI block, then running a program in OS X isn't going to do a lick of good.
After all EFI was designed for Trusted Computing and Digital Rights Management, to act between the OS and hardware, can read drives, contact the Internet and everything.
Windows doesn't use EFI, will have UEFI in Windows 8 though. -
I just transferred all my iTunes music, etc. from my PC to a new laptop but the iTunes program, itself, is not on the laptop. How do I get it on there so I can put in my music? Thank you so much
Thank you, this is exactly what I needed to do. I'm in business again! I had thought of doing this, but didn't think my music would automatically transfer into the new iTunes. It did transfer and I updated to the new version and I'm good to go. Thank you again, so very much

Music in itunes music folder but not recognized in itunes?
So a few days back my Itunes library crashed. Itunes tried to recover it, but only recovered part of my library and then told me my library was damaged. So long story short, after several different attempts to get all my songs back into Itunes, here is the crossroad that I am at now.
I have all my songs in the Itunes music folder. But for some reason, none of those songs are being recognized in Itunes when it opens up. Any advice on how to get it to recognized in Itunes instead of having an empty library? Thanks in advance for all your help, this is has been a HUGE headache to say the least.Move the existing iTunes folder to another location while iTunes isn't running, and then drag it into the open iTunes window. iTunes does not look at the content of the iTunes music folder directly to determine what is in the library; it accesses a support file and shows the content referenced by that file. The Mac OS X version of iTunes places content added to the iTunes library into the iTunes music folder by default.
This method will not preserve playcounts and other information associated with the songs, which is stored in a support file and not with the songs.

I have an iPhone 4. I recently updated. It loaded all my iTunes music purchases but not the music I had on my computer. This music was on my iPhone before I updated. I have tried re-sycing but not getting anywhere. Says it cannot locate my music files but I see it on my lap top but cannot play it or get it on my iPhone. Can anyone walk me through this?

Thanks. I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data. Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again. -
I need to use sigma plot in my Mac, does any one has a good advise for alternatives. If not, will it be ok to install windows in my mac?
See if Deltagraph is still around. We used to use that for plotting scientific data on Macs. I don't know if it is at all transferrable with Sigmaplot if you have a colleague who uses it, but if you're doing this on your own I would look at getting DG vs, doing a dual boot etc.

My itunes store won't open. Any suggestions on how to get this to work? I've already downloaded the newest version of itunes. I'm also not sure what Mac operating system I have..
To find the version of Mac OS X on your computer, all you have to do is click the Apple logo and then About this Mac. For more info, take a look at this doc -> Finding your OS X version and build information
Do you see an error when you try to open the iTunes Store on your Mac?

Mavric doesn't support my 5 years old Big Screen Display, OR? Tried to connect my Mac Book Pro after installing Mavric, The Screen didn't work as before. I could only see the Desktop but not the movies for example.
<E-mail Edited by Host>It appears what happened is the installer though it was looking at a empty drive and just went ahead and installed.
I of course am assuming here you didn't use Disk Utility to format the drive first before installing, that would wipe out your files and programs for sure.
So what to do, what to do.
Well there is hope for you as long as the drive wasn't Filevaulted.
I'll explain. When a hard drive writes data for the first time to a drive, it starts at the very top and works it's way down.
When OS X was installed the first time, it was at the top of the drive, unless you upgraded then the upgraded OS X could have been written elsewhere.
Now when you just reinstalled OS X, the new OS went on the top of the drive, overwriting any data that was there previously, so what was there you have lost forever which is about 8GB or so. If it was the previous OS there, then your more in luck because only the old OS X was overwritten.
The remaining space on the drive still can have a copy of your files, provided it's not overwritten yet.
It's because when a hard drive deletes data or reformats, it doesn't remove the data off the drive or overwrites it immediately, it's just made so it's SPACE is available for new files to be written there.
So technically one can recover the deleted data off a non-encrypted/scrubbed hard drive with special software.
The way it does this is it reads the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, and through a lot of figuring out, can tell what that file is and what it belongs too.
So what you will have to do is this:
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
or if you don't have the skills, then take it to a local PC/Mac tech and they can do a direct image of the drive and then you can run Data Rescue on it to rebuild your files.
