I am having trouble importing files from file sharing in the same household. I have followed the tutorials but do not have the tab at the bottom of Itunes "Import to library"

When I go to file sharing on Itunes, I am unable to import files to my itunes. I can play them, but am unable to move them to my library. I have been through the tutorial and when I get to "show menu at the bottom of library" there is no menu. I do not have the tab "items not in my library" or "import" I have been through the upper tab and see no option in the view menu and have also consolidated the files. Any suggestions?

Error code -36 is an i/o error. That usually means that the computer is having a problem reading or writing the file you're working with, which in turn usually means that the drive has a problem. A sudden slowdown of the magnitude you meantion usually means a severely damaged directory or physical damage to the disk. I'd run a disk fixer such as Disk Utility or Disk Warrior on the slow drive. If it reports problems which can't be fixed, which I suspect it will, I'd back everything up. I just had a LaCie 250GB drive die on me with similar problems (i/o errors, very slow access) and returned it under the warranty.

I am having trouble with my wife's new iPhone 5s. She can receive her telus email but can not send any email what did I do wrong in setting up her account on her iPhone? I tried to just copy the info from her old iPhone.

The sending of email is accomplished via the SMTP server. Take a moment to get back into Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars and select the account. Go to the SMTP server and check to make sure that username and password are entered in all of the appropriate places. If you cannot get it to work after trying to just change those settings, remove the account from the phone and recreate it. When recreating, make sure you enter the username and password in every location, even if the phone says optional. Make sure you have the settings from either the email provider or from the other device. Make sure that SSL is on or off as necessary.

Having trouble locating files since updating the operating system

I recently did the recommended system update on OS X Yosemite - now 10.10.1. I am having trouble locating updated files. In the old system, when I updated an excel worksheet, it appeared at the top of my "my applications" list with bold print listing it as updated today. Today I updated a bunch of files and they were all hidden 3/4 of the way down my list of files - I guess in the location of the original file, back amongst files from early 2014/late 2013. And now the type face which says "today" is just as pale as the rest of the dates. Is there anyway to change this? Is there anyway to go back to the prior version? I spent 2 minutes looking for a file and then had to spend more than a minute looking for the one right next to it when I needed to find it, even after knowing the general location to look!
Thank you if anyone can help. Barbara

Thank you that helps.
There are a lot of other things I'd like to ask but I guess I'll look at the manual and see if I can figure them out thanks a lot!

File sharing on the iPad in iTunes

From what I've read, a lot of people are having problems with the file sharing in iTunes for the iPad (under the apps tab), the problem is pervasive and goes back to last year. I'm trying to back up all the files in the apps that support file sharing (Pages and Good Reader primarily). Occasionally, one or two apps show up for a few seconds, long enough for me to use the "save to" function. Normally, they show up as blank. Anyone had any luck getting this to work? I think its an iTunes bug. I've tried closing iTunes, resyncing the iPad, disconnecting the iPad and reconnecting, even connecting the iPad from a powered down state. None of it works. I'm connecting to a Windows 7 computer (where all my music and movies are stored), but am considering trying to sync with my Macbook Pro, though I'm not sure what this will do (same iTunes account).
Using iTunes 10.4.1.10 (latest version as of 9/5/11)

Do you mean that the files show up and not the apps? You should see the apps in the window under the File Sharing section of the apps tab in iTunes. You use the "save to" function with the files themselves. This is the one function that still works fine for me as long as the files are already in the documents window in iTunes.
I have been using Pages for months on the iPad and my Mac, and it has been so long since I have been able to move a file from the iPad to iTunes using the "send to iTunes" option from the share and print section of the tools in Pages that I have given up. This worked flawlessly for me prior to the iOS 4.3.5 update and the previous iTunes and Pages '09 for Mac updates.
This has really soured me on the most recent iTunes update and I will continue to put it off as long as I can. If software updates start causing problems, what's the use in downloading them?
I hope you find a solution - I know I am stumped on my end.

Having trouble importing iPhoto library

OK, I'll word this the best I can.
I have a MacBook air with 250g of memory. It recently warned me my memory was low. After checking, I saw there was 160+g of 'other'. I bought an external hd and backed everything up, then restored it to factor. I then imported the iPhoto library (10k gb Photo/videos) and I saw the pictures downloading as normal. At the end, iPhoto was stuck on 'finishing import'. I checked the storage and it showed 70+gb of memory being used for pics and videos, but they werent visible in iPhoto. What did I do wrong?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What do you have set in the System/CDs and DVDs preferences to do when a disk is inserted? If the option is not set to the Finder do so and see if that will make any difference.
Otherwise boot into Safe Mode and see if you can copy the files from the CD to a folder on the Desktop. Boot back into your normal account and see if you can import. Or import while still in the Safe Mode.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I am having trouble moving files from iPhoto to a thumb drive. Sometimes I can move 20 photos next time I can only move 2 photos or 0---this is during the same session. I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet. Can someone please help?

I am having trouble moving files from iphoto to a thumb drive. During the same session sometime I can move 10 photos at a time, the next time I can only move one photo and sometime no photos will move. I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet. I was using a MacBook Pro and had no problems like this. I then upgraded to the MacBook Pro with Retina Vision and this is the computer I am having problems with. Can anyone please give me a suggestion in how to fix this problem. THANK YOU.

iPhoto problems should be posted in their forums.
I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet.
Needs clarification. You upload from your computer to the internet & download from a website/internet to your computer. So which are you trying to do? Either way, sounds like a browser issue. You need to post in the forum of whichever browser you are using.

I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

Chances are the pinnacle is producing .avi files or MPEFG1/2 streams - iTunes may know how to decode the audio but not the video. Download Handbrake and try running the Pinnacle files through it and adding to iTunes - use Universal format unless you have a specific device in mind.
Keep copies of the originals.
Another option might be to try to install Perian. Can't remember if the Apple MPEG2 plugin allows MPEG2 to be played in iTunes.

Having trouble importing select pictures from a cd to my iphoto library

I am having trouble importing (and viewing) my vacation photos from a cd to my iphoto library. Some of the photos I can view in finder, but when i click on the rest, I get a message that says "Item xxxx.jpg is used by mac os x and cannot be opened". When I tried to import the photos to my library... the ones I could view imported no problem, the ones I couldn't view will not import and I get a message saying "unreadable files: the following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)". I am just sick that I cannot find these photos!!! =( especially since I had them on iphoto before I cleaned out my computer (so I've had them in my library before). Any ideas? I am in desperate need of help! =(
P.S. When I try to move the pictures to my desktop, I get a notice that says, "you may need to enter the name and pasword for the administrator on this computer to change the item named xxxx.jpg"... when I click continue, another message pops up and says, "the item xxx.jpg contains one or more busy items that cannot be changed"

I am having trouble establishing file association between .PDF files and Adobe Reader.

I am having trouble establishing file association between .PDF files and Adobe Reader. When I click on a .PDF file, Adobe Reader does not open the file. I installed Adobe Reader on a Lenovo G480 laptop using Windows 8. When I attempted to open a file called I believe G480_user_guide.PDF, a file called something like Nitro_PDF opened. When I right clicked G480_user_guide.PDF and chose Open With, I found that Nitro_PDF was the default program for opening the file. I tried to change to another program but found that Adobe Reader was not listed. I chose the option for searching the computer for a file to open. I found the folder Adobe in Program Files x64 but I was not able to find an executable. Where is the Adobe Reader executable or what other method can I use for establishing file association between .PDF files and Adobe Reader.

Yes, I have now learned how to make a search with the Google search engine. I am gradually learning how to use my new Lenovo laptop computer with Windows 8. I learned yesterday that I can make a search with the Google search engine if I enter the search query in the address bar of the Google Chrome browser. I think it was the Bing search engine that gave me the sites advertising Adobe Reader download but actually provided the download of a reader other than Adobe.
In my opinion, Windows 8 is significantly different from Windows 7 and that it has hazards and pitfalls.
I thank all of those who have replied to the initial inquiry.

Having trouble converting array to spreadsheet string, storing the file and coverting back to array with complex numbers

I am working with a network analyzer. I have arrays made of 5 columns the first consisting of an integer and the next four consisting of complex numbers. I am converting the array into a spreadsheet string and then saving the file using the write characters to a file VI. That seems to work well as when I open the file in Excel all the data is there. However when I try to reverse the process, open file and convert back to array, I loose some of the data. Specifically the imaginary parts of my complex numbers are all going to zero. I have narrowed down the problem to be in the conversion from spreadsheet string to array and vice versa. I
think the problem may be with the 'format' input to the VI. I do not have an adequate resource for this so I am not sure what to put in to accomplish my task. Any takers?

Hi Biz
I don't think there is a direct way of converting a complex number to a
string, so when you convert the array to a spreadsheet string, the
numbers would be converted to real data.
However, you could try separating the real and imaginary parts using the
"Numeric: Complex to Re/Im" function, and then store these - either in
separate files or in adjacent columns/rows in the same file. Then, when
you read in the data again, use the "Numeric: Re/Im to Complex" function
to put the two "halves" together.
If you actually want Excel to interpret the numbers as imaginary, then
you'll probably want to create a string for each complex number of the
form "Re + Im*i" (after separating the Re and Im parts), by using
"String:Format into String" with 2 numeric inputs and the format string
"%f+%fi".
Reading the data back into Labview then would require splitting the
string into the 2 pieces by using "Stringcan from String" with 2
numeric outputs (smae precision as original numbers specified by the 2
Default Value inputs) and the same format string "%f+%fi", and then using
the above-mentioned "Numeric: Re/Im to Complex" function. It worked for
me, so if you can't follow what I am describing, send me an email and I
can email you what I did (LV 5.1.1).
