I am trying to Upgrade my iMac running 10.6 to the latest OSX Combo upgrade... however on restart my iMAC 'panics' - crashes?... i have seen some discussion on this but no resolution so far that works for me... any ideas?
Hi all,
This is proving somewhat frustrating. End goal is to upgrade the iMAC to Lion. However, in order to use the downloaded version of Lion Install package, i have first to upgrade my iMAC from OSX 10.6 (i.e. I need at least 10,7 to get access to the APP store).
However, whenever I have tried to upgrade, then on restart the machine 'panics'.
At first I thought it was some form of malware and erased and repartioned the disk and then re-installed. However, this did not solve the problem.
Is there a problem with post 10.6 upgrades ?
best regards and thanks to anyone who might offer suggetsions to help.
Buck.
Hi Paul,
I am using Snow Leopard 10.6 (re-installing as we speak). on an iMac.
Have verified startup disk as well as verified permissions.
Have cleared the PRAM (using option-command-P-R keys and waiting for the chimes).
Only peripherals are an apple usb keyboard and an apple usb mouse connected via keyboard usb adapter.
Machine runs fine at 10.6
problem only occurs when i try to reboot after installing the Combo upgrade.
p.s. i also have a MACBook Pro and have had no similar issues with that. So am guessing it is somethign related specifically to iMac hardware/firmware ?
ciao, Buck.

Please help with the message I am receving on startup ""You can't open the application NovamediaDiskSupressor because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
I have read some of the replies in the Apple Support Communities, but as I am no techie, I would have no idea how I would implement that solution.
Please help with what I need to type, how, where, etc.
Many thanks
AppleSueIn HunterCreekI am afraid there is no solution.
PowerPC refers to the processing chip used by Apple before they transferred to Intel chips. They are very different, and applications written only for PPC Macs cannot work on a Mac running Lion.
You could contact the developers to see if they have an updated version in the pipeline. -

From the iPhoto menu bar click iPhoto / Empty iPhoto Trash.
Quit then relaunch iPhoto. Try editing an image then uploading to FB.
And when you upload to FB, make sure you use the Share button bottom right side of the iPhoto window. -
I've just changed from a PC to a mac and have a large number of downloaded WMA music files which I can't get into i-tunes. When the library was in Windows, i-tunes would convert the files automatically, but this doesn't happen now. I've downloaded a couple of file converters, but these don't seem to work either. Any ideas?
iTunes for Windows (but not iTunes for Mac) can import and convert unprotected WMA tracks. If the tracks are protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management) then it will not accept them.
One option would be to install iTunes on your PC, do the conversion, and then transfer the converted tracks from iTunes on your PC to iTunes on your Mac. -

‘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 canceling 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.

I have a new Airport Extreme that works well with my IMac but is intermittent with our Windows 7 PC. Any ideas?
Thanks planb77. Your instructions worked but I had to do a little more than you stated. I did not realize that transferring files to a new computer was not enough. When the iPod synced I was told I needed to "authorize" my new computer to get my iTunes purchases to sync to the iPod. So after the initial sync, I ejected and disconnected the iPod, went into the iTunes store, set up "home sharing" and then authorized the new computer. When that was done I reconnected the iPod and was able to sync all my books and music. The only thing I couldn't do was rename the iPod as iTunes never asked me to. Is there a way to rename it after it has been set by iTunes as "owner's iPod"?

My iMac just crashed, and I had some documents open in Pages that were unsaved. Is there a temporary file or backup file that I can access as on a PC? (I have just looked in Timemachine which I had operating, but it did not seem to have any temp files in it at all - not sure what it would be useful for then).
Any suggestions?Question asked and answered several times.
If you didn't save, nothing is recoverable.
iWork apps don't create temp files so, as far as you on't save something, Time Machine can't archive it.

Is there anyone here that works for itunes support?
is there anyone here that works for itunes support?
I have waited for 39 hours for a response from support team with no reply. I can get any of my credit cards to be accepted with itunes. Somthing is wrong on apples side of things..been to apple store and they could not help either. this is crappy. I am one of the biggest apple fans but this is one side of apple that really *****. CAN'T TALK TO A LIVE HUMAN FROM ITUNES? Give me a break.I agree completely endive! I've been fighting for days trying to get some help with a technical problem and apparently, you can't get help from Apple without paying out the nose. The problem I'm having is due to an update they recommended which I installed and now have no sound in itunes!
I too love Apple products. I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, their customer service after the sale! The are just as bad as Microsoft. -
Hello I went to wipe my 1st generation iPad and then tried to update the iOS now the iPad won't work at all any ideas what I can do?
You can't update the original iPad beyond iOS 5.1.1 so if you were already running that version, there was no reason to wipe the iPad to try to update.
Won't work at all, doesn't tell me the whole story. Does it power up but not respond to anything? Does it not power up at all? Some detailed information in context would really be helpful.
IF the device will not start up, try a reset. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears on the screen. -
IPod classic error 50, 53, 69, etc solution that worked for me
Giving back to the community that I spent so long searching in for a solution to this problem--even though I ended up with my own solution that may or may not work for you.
I bought a 6th gen 160GB iPod classic and tried to sync it to my massive 14,000(+)-song library. The sucker would give me all sorts of errors (50, 53, 69) and never complete my sync. It said my files were corrupted or that an unknown error occurred yada yada. I looked on the forums for a solution and none of them worked. I sent that iPod back and got a 7th gen 160GB instead. SAME ISSUE. MY GOD. My only guess was that since both iPods came from a Mac computer there was some issue with it connecting to Windows--ever after reformatting it.
So, I knew about formatting my iPod and then restoring it to try and resolve the issue that turingtest2 often would point out in many threads similar to this: iPod Classic
What I never did was a full format. But more specifically, I never did a full format and waited for it to finish.
The fix that worked for me was this (and I'm giving my exact order, even if the steps were unnecessary--as the fact that it worked was like a dream come true):
1) Go to My Computer, right click on Computer in the sidebar and click on Manage.
2) After the window pops up, click on Device Manager and then Universal Serial Bus Controllers.
3) Make sure your iPod is plugged in, and right click Apple Mobile Device USB Driver and uninstall it.
4) Now go to Disk Management in the sidebar. Right click on the iPod and select Format
5) For format options, select file system as NTFS (I know, I know--but it worked for me), and UNCHECK Quick Format.
6) Format it, and WAIT for it to finish. It will take a really long time.
7) After formatting, plug the iPod back in and wait for the driver to install. Open iTunes and restore the iPod.
8) Wait for the iPod to restore and then sync the music!
If everything was done correctly it should work, possibly.
My hard drive specs before this were:
Retracts: 34
Reallocs: 9344
Pending Sectors: 0
So, the specs were pretty bad, but it still worked for me.
I actually just got done doing another sync and it still seems to be working fine.
Good luck!I have had success with this method also, but it is not full-proof. Try the movie "The Incredibles". The audio will be about 10-seconds out-of-sync. (BTW, I own this movie).

Hi All, I have the latest version of iTunes, however since upgrading I can no longer get iTunes to recognise that any devices (iPhone / iPad) are connected? Can anyone help please. Paul
Try holding down CTRL as you launch iTunes to see if it will repair the drivers.
Or try Cerbu's post here.
Or see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, forcing a driver update.
Please let us know which approach works for you...

Since I upgraded to iTunes 11.01 the "Smart" playlists feature no longer works.
I can CREATE the list but, the songs that I have played don't accumulate in the list.
I haven't changed the steps that worked for me previous to the upgrade.
I have no idea how to fix this and can't find mention of anyone else having a similar problem.
Any suggestions?Click on a station and drag to the left. The playlists sidebar will open up. Drop on the playlist you want to add to.
