I automatically back up my hd and now can't use my itunes library... Help!

I started using a Lacie external hd to automatically back up my hard drive using the time machine application. however, now when I try to play the music from my itunes library (or anything else for that matter) I get a message saying: "it can not be played because the original file could not be found" it then ask if "I want to locate it". I click yes but it only takes me to the drives directory.I go to the library in the external hard drive but when I find the itunes library in that hd and click to open,it sends me back to the original library and the whole cycle starts again.
Can anyone explain me what's happening and how I can get get my library back to play the music?

I'm glad that you were able to find one. I can't find the Twitter add-on that you had. Or at least it won't work with Firefox 29. I was able to find something that I think will do the trick for you. [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/twitter-app/?src=ss Firefox Twitter Appp] I would say try that. You did not say that you have ad block + yet. So here is the link to that [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/?src=ss Adblock Plus] . Hope this helps.

I updated new software on my Apple 4S phone and now can't use it because it requires a 4 digit security code that I don't know. The phone store when I originally bought phone bypassed it for me. How do I find it?

Stephylei you will want to download the Mac versions of the installation files. If you purchased the software from Adobe, and choose the download option at the time of purchase, then the download will be available under your account. You can find more details at Find a download link on Adobe.com.

Installed itunes 10.5 and now can't use function keys on my keyboard

I just downloaded iTunes 10.5.0.142 and I now can't use the function keys on my keyboards to change track, pause etc. Is anyone else having this problem? Also, why is it now ctrl+shift+m to switch to mini player? Ctrl+m doesn't do anything now

Yeah I agree the white keyboard was clunky, I dont really miss it. The problem is you can't just use the new lighter keyboards with the white imacs bc the operating system is outdated. The apple store told me I needed to upgrade my operating system and it would cost me 170 dollars, which I found incredulous.
I dont think its due to an app running or an expose issue, thanks for your responses.
aghhhh maybe ill have to buy an old crusty one on ebay. why the heck would apple not make a compatible keyboard for their 3 year old computer anymore, WHYYYYYY???!!!

I bought an iPad in the USA and registered it in Sweden now back in USA and I can't use an iTunes card on my iPad because it not registered in USA . Does anyone know how I can use the iTunes card ?

I need help using an iTunes card on my iPad purchased when I was in the USA and registered it at home in Sweden. Now I am back in USA and the iPad says iTunes card won't work on a foreign iPad. Is there a way to use this iTunes card?
Thanks

What store are you trying to purchase in? If its a U.S. card - you have to use it in the U.S. store.
Go to Settings>General>International>Region Format>United States. Then go to Settings>Store>Tap your Apple ID. Tap View Apple ID. Enter your password. Go to country/region and make sure that you are in the U.S. store in there.

HELP! Consolidated music and now Can't use it and Can't find it!

My laptop was stolen and I've recently used iPod Rip S/W to get my music from iPod to my older G4 Tower Hardrive. before doing this I consolidated my music (following some apple directions) and now that all my music is in iTunes using iPodRip, the stuff that was consolidated has a checkmark by it and I can't play any of those songs. Says "Can't find the original - would you like to find it?" I say yes and by searching thru the two music folders on my computer, the music doesn't exist!
Help - I can only hope this makes sense to someone. This has been SUCH a drag in the first place and I just want my music back. I have over 1900 songs and 1/2 are showing unusable right now
Please respond - I feel like I'm going in circles now.
thanks in advance
Michelle

I updated to iOS 8.2 and now can't use iMessage. Keeps telling me my password is not correct, but continues to do so after changing it.

Updated to iOS 8.2 and now iMessage won't work. I disabled 2-step verification, changed password, but still no go. What gives?

Hello David,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're not able to use iMessage on your iPad. You've tried some good troubleshooting steps, and I'd recommend these additional steps:
Turn off iMessage and FaceTime and restart
Go to Settings > Messages and turn off iMessage.
Go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off FaceTime.
Restart your device.
Turn iMessage and FaceTime back on.
Still not activated after an hour?
It might take a few minutes to activate iMessage and FaceTime. If you've waited more than an hour, try these steps:
Make sure that your device has the latest version of iOS.
If you're using an iPhone, contact your carrier to make sure that you can receive SMS messages.
Contact Apple Support.
From:
If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support
Best Regards,
Jeremy

I have updated to the latest OIS on my IPad but cannot install the update for ITunes. I get error messages that I must log on as administrator (don't know how) and I can't use my ITunes now. Help please

I have updated to the lastest OS on my IPad3. No problem there. Then found I could no longer access my Itunes as there was a message 'Cannot be used as it requires version 10.6.3 or later. Go to ... and download'. I have tried four times and it won't work. I get another message saying I must sign in as administrator or contact my system administrator. I am the only one who uses this PC and have no idea what my administrator password is. Now I cannot use ITunes. Please help if you can. Thank you. Eileen Frost

Many thanks diesel. I cannot remember ever having an administrator password. Looks like I shall have to do a restore on my PC and not bother with the updates. Or maybe I could find my password from somewhere ? When I went into control panel I found a box with administrator and my name and it said password protected so I must have had one at some time. Any ideas on how I could find it ? Many thanks anyway. I always use a password to sign on but obviously that is not it. Eileen

My computer rebooted and now I have an older itunes library!

My computer rebooted a couple of days ago and when I logged back in it looked like itunes was starting from scratch. My library opened up and I saw there was music there and didn't pay much attention until today. I tried to play a song and it couldn't be located in my library. I looked at my playlists and I haven't seen them in over a year. I'm guessing somehow my itunes library reverted to an older version. Why did this happen? APPLE fix these update issues! How do I change the library I am using to the other version? I have backups but I would like to see what it is I am supposed to do.

You can search for another library using the start/search function. You want to search for files named *.itl
When you find the library file you want to use, click on the icon to open itunes and then press and hold the shift key. Keep holding the shift key and you will get a message to choose or create a library. Navigate to the library file you found and select it. Then click open.

Uploaded iOS 4.2 for my iPad and now can't use it

Please help. I uploaded iOS 4.2 for my iPad and now I can't update, restore, or get my iPad to show up on iTunes. When I click restore it gets to "Preparing iPad for restore", then states it can't restore due to error 1604. I have followed the trouble shooting guide, but it still won't restore.

This is a copy and paste from an link I listed below. It might be helpful.
Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the USB 30-pin dock-connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for error 1604.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and re-open iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
