HT4913 Trying to add new macbook air to itunes match. process starts but never succeeds. works for a while then give error  about itunes server.

Trying to add my new Macbook Air to iTunes match. Process starts but goes nowhere. After some time I get error about iTunes server losing connection. Help! I want to access all my music.

Hi Rob- I'm guessing it has something to do with all the update stuff Apple keeps doing (with Yosemite, etc.,) extremely frustrating - also whenever I load up iTunes on any of my devices- I am asked to enter my passcode- which I will do- then I am asked to do it 2 or 3 more times - right after the other- crazy how annoying something like that can be- I have looked online for solutions- i.e. close out of the account, reset the passcode- all of it- nothing seems to fix that situation either-  what I have discovered (playing around) is on my iPhone 6+ if I go to settings and turn OFF iTunes match- then turn it back ON- suddenly all the music that wasn't loaded shows up magically- but I had to do that each time I'd update songs in my playlist on the iMac- then go to the iPhone and turn off the match- then turn it back on- almost like it is resetting things-

  • Trying to connect new MacBook Air to printer (Canon MF4570dn)attached to my PC

    I have a new MacBook Air and I am trying to set it up to print to a Canon MF4570dn hooked up via USB to my PC. I have file and printer sharing turned on. The MacBook can see the workgroup --> computer --> printer name. I have tried using Canon's print drivers and generic PCL to no avail. With the former, I get "filter' failed and with the latter, everything seems to work when I look in the printer status (shows that it is waiting to print and then just disappears (as if it has finished printing) - but no printout.
    Network is avilable.

  • New macbook air recognizes my external hard drive, but cannot read it

    I recently bought a new Macbook Air about 3 weeks ago and I'm trying to access files that I have on my external hard drive. The macbook recognizes that there is an external drive, but when I click on it, the finder window is empty and it shows that there are no files on the drive. When I plug it back into my old Macbook pro (purchased in 2007, running Lion 10.7.5 ) I can access all of my files just fine. Also, a little while ago, while the drive was connected to the new laptop it ejected itself and gave me the prompt saying that the disk had been ejected incorectly. I'm wondering if there is something wrong with the disk because I did have to run disk repair on it once since it bricked. Or is it not compatible with this new macbook? I don't really want to shell out more money to buy a new disk, are there any programs I can install or new USB cables I can try? the disk is a Seagate 500GB portable expansion drive.

    Hi Beth!
    1) You need to plug the phone in with your USB cable. If for some reason it doesn't sync automatically, try clicking on the name of your phone in your lefthand menu of iTunes, and it'll bring you to a homepage of sorts for your phone.
    2) From there, you should be able to click on "sync" at the bottom right of the page. Or you may have to go to the individual parts of your phone (where it says "music," "apps," etc. at the top of the page), and enable those to sync on each individual page.
    3) That should do it, but you can always go back to that homepage from step 1 and click "sync" or "apply" once more to be sure everything syncs over.
    If you've done this already, can you explain where you're seeing a red circle on your iPhone? Usually those red circles let you delete something if you click on them. For instance, if you want to delete an app, you hold your finger down on it for a moment and then the red circle appears so you can click again to delete.
    Hope this helps you!

  • Iphoto on my used mac mini will not open my photos from my new macbook air, it says to update software but there arent any available.. please help

    iphoto on my used mac mini will not open my photos from my new macbook air,  it says something about updating the software, but i checked and there arent any updates available... please help

    Sorry for the second post..
    I currently do not have an older version of iPhoto to test this on, but you might also try coping the Originals from the iPhoto Library of iPhoto 11.
    To do that;
    1. Right (control) click on the iPhoto Library in the Picture Folder on the MacBook Air
    2. Select Show Package Content.
    3. Click on the Originals Folder
    4. Navigate to the disired Event or photos and copy those images to your Flash or External Drive, then copy those to the older version of iPhoto.
    Beware do not move, add or delete anything in the iPhoto Library, Apple has intensionally hidden it in later versions to prevent people from messing things up.

  • Office:mac 2011 was working ok after installed last month which I bought with the new macbook air.  Suddently I no longer can use it (Work, Excel

    Office:mac 2011 was working ok after I installed it last month on my new macbook air.  Suddently I no longer can use these programs (Word, Excel, PP) when it's opening a message "Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience" appears... I tried to reinstalled it but it's the same.  Can anyone help please?  Thanking you.

  • Trouble connecting my MacBook air to Internet in a hotel - but my iPad works fine???

    Help please - aim in a hotel in Austria. I can connect to the Internet using the hotel wireless with my iPad, but my MacBook Air keeps showing a connection, but not accessing the Internet. I've tried fiddling with system preferences, and got onto the Internet once, but when I came back from a walk the connection was gone and won't come back?

    I'm unsure what encryption, but I am getting a DHCP address, I can ping the gateway and have tried making a new connection.
    Since I last posted, I kept trying network preference - diagnosis...... It would usually show all green against the wireless connection status, except when I turned off airport. But after about 90 minutes of fiddling, and for no logical reason I could see, the Internet connection came up.
    I have just been for supper, and on re- opening the MacBook, the connection won't let me onto the Internet again, even though everything lookls ok???
    Any ideas for a tyro gratefully received!

  • I have a Macbook Air with 384 mb of VRAM, will this application work for me?

    I'm starting a Residential Planning course TODAY and just now see that it requires 512MB of VRAM to run Photoshop. My Macbook Air only has 384. Will it work? Or do I need to drop out of this class or buy a new computer??

    I believe some features will be available even if the video card has less than the minimum 512 MB.  Are you planning to use the 3D modeling features?  If so, those definitely DO need at least 512 MB of VRAM.
    If you're not sure what features you'll be using, nothing is stopping you from downloading it and trying it yourself (Photoshop can be tried for 30 days free).  That's what I suggest you do, to be sure.

  • My Macbook Air connects to ATV at home but not at work

    My Macbook Air connects at home over a Time Machine network to my apple tv just fine (including airplay); when at work on a non-apple wifi network both computer and apple tv connect but cannot see each other.  As I would like to stream video to the work ATV via airplay, this is a problem...  Any ideas?

    Hello Allan Robinson,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning AirPlay:
    iOS: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215
    Try the following suggestions:
    Ensure that other devices are not trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
    Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
    Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
    If possible, try to locate your Wi-Fi router in the same room as your iOS device and Apple TV.
    If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
    If the Wi-Fi router has an external antenna, check to see that is it connected properly and in good condition.
    Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

  • My browser keeps trying to create new tabs on clicks though I've followed the directions to fix the problem, but it only works for a while.

    Things will be working fine...then suddenly I start getting a new tab with every click. I've followed the directions to fix the problem, and usually deleting the mimes.pdf for a full reset works, but I'm getting tired of this. Everything is up to date as far as I can tell, and my virus and malware programs seem to find nothing wrong. I'm getting tired of this...help??

  • I have a new macbook air that comes with iMovie '11 but not iDVD.  There seems to be no way for me to burn a DVD.  What can I do?

    How can I get my project onto a DVD?  Why doesn't the computer come with iDVD?

    Hi
    What's even worse is that Mac Book Air - Do not have any DVD-station at all !
    You need a DVD-burner. There are external USB-connected ones.
    You need DVD authoring program as iDVD or Roxio Toast@ or Burn (free)
    my General notes:
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs (if it has a DVD-burner) - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    only You can buy from Apple is
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

  • New macbook air caught in loop at start up.  Powers up then gets "dos like" commands on screen and shuts down.  Powers up again on its own and repeats.

    Just pulled the MacBook out of the box.  Turned on the power and on the Apple screen a bunch of lines of command texts appear for about 10 seconds.  The screen then goes blank and the computer shuts down.  It then powers up again on its own and does the same thing again.  How can this be fixed?

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.
