I had backed up my music files, and then my hard disk died and was replaced. I replaced the files on the new drive, but get the Itunes message that I don't have proper authorization to open my own files.

"Need proper authorization" to have ITunes acknowledge my own music files which have been reintroduced on a new hard drive from a back up hard drive.

Hello there, PE James.
The following Knowledge Bsae article offers up some great recommendations for troubleshooting permissions issues with iTunes:

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

A Web site available via IE says that I don't have 'proper authorization' when I try to sign in.

A Web site that I used to go to via Firefox I must now access using Internet Explorer. I can get to the site's home page, but when I try to sign in it says that I don't have 'proper authorization'. I contacted the site and their rep say that I must make it a trusted site in Firefox, but I can find no option to do that.
Can you tell me how to solve the problem? I would much rather use Firefox.
Thank you.

I am getting an error message that I don't have enough space to download what's in my queue. How do I delete the files waiting to be downloaded...they are tv shows.

How can I delete files that are waiting to be downloaded? I no longer want them and they won't all fit.

If downalods won't fit on yrou computer, ou should clear up your drive by removing unsed programs and documents.
As a general rule, you should keep 10%-15% free drive space on your boot drive.

I'm trying to restore music to my iTunes and I get a message that I don't have permission to see the file

I discovered that when I restored my harddrive a few weeks back, not all of my music in iTunes was restored. Now when I go back to an earlier date in my Time Capsule, I get a message that I don't have permissiom to see the files. What do I need to do to access these files?

Pondini might have some help for you..
I think it depends how you restored.

My drive failed on my iMac and I had to get a new drive but now my iTunes music is gone including all the CD's I added to iTunes, and all of my custom Playlists. All of that stuff is still on my iPhone 4, but how do I get it all onto my iMac again? I have CD's on my phone that i no longer have the physical copies of so i can't just re-download them all, plus it would take forever! I just want to know if there is a way to get all of what is still on my phone, back over to my iMac with it's new drive and restore my full iTunes library to the iMac with playlists, CD downloaded music, and my iTunes bought stuff, so i can go back to synching the 2 devices without losing everything that's on my phone that used to be on both devices?

I have recently updated the new apps via creative cloud now photoshop and bridge no longer work, they open then say they have encountered a problem and close, I also tried opening the old version of photo shop but getting the same result

What OS version? What's the exact error? Exactly when does the error occur? What previous versions? What is on the screen when the error displays? Does Photoshop get fully open?
Try opening Photoshop holding down Shift key immediately to turn off plug-ins. Lots of good suggestions here: Photoshop: Basic Troubleshooting steps to fix most issues

Hello Turintest2,
I am having a similar problem. I have over 4000 songs giving me this error. I certainily don't want to go in one by one and find them. I know you wrote a script for Windows but I am a Mac user. Is there a fix for me? Here is the info on where the song is currently (used by doing the get info)
Here's a shot of my preferences:
Just FYI, I know that apparently iTunes is looking for this music in the trash. However, if I go here:
Then I find the music there as well. (Which is where it is in my preferences.)
Please help! I don't want to have to go through over 4000 songs and update them one by one.

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Since upgrading to Lion, i am unable to take screen shots. i get the message that i don't have permission to save files to the place where SSs are saved. how can i regain the ability to save screen shots? thanks

First of all, are you using the OS native screen capture?
If not, make sure the application you're using has been update for Lion. I was using Snapz Pro for years, but I need to update it for use with Lion. Meanwhile Grab and the keyboard shortcuts are working on my Lion load.
If you are using the native capture mode unsuccessfully, I would run the Disk Utility and repair permissions on the drive. For some reason, even in past OS Versions, routine maintenance of permissions makes life a lot easier.

My iphone does not connect to my email provider and fetch my email. I have been getting emall ok previously, this occurred when I changed my password on my email account. I have "set up a new account" but get the message "server is unavailable". I have tried several things but to no avail. Does anyone have the solution?
Thanks

Did you ever fix this problem? The same thing happened when I just changed my kids passwords and now can't access their mail on their iPods or my iPad but I use the same email provider and mine is fine however I did not change my password. If you fixed it how did you?

Why am I constantly getting the message that I don't have enough storage space? I have upgraded to the 50GB storage plan and I am still getting the message. Help?

That message refers to storage on your iPhone, not cloud storage. You will need to move content off your phone to make more space.

I havea 2007Mac Book Pro and a Genius told me that it is "vintage" and that the "logic board" is bad. He removed the hard drive and told me to buy a "sled" to retreive the data. Is it worth trying to fix it so that I don't have to buy a new one?

I have a 2007 Mac Book Pro and a Genius told me that it is "vintage" and that the "logic board" is bad and no longer supported. He removed the hard drive and told me to buy a "sled" to retreive the data. Is it worth trying to fix it so that I don't have to buy a new one? Where should I take it? Thanks.

djgornik,
if the Genius is correct and the logic board is bad, then replacing the logic board would be fairly expensive. What problems are you seeing with your MacBook Pro that caused you to visit the Genius in the first place? Whether it’s worth trying to fix it or not depends on your particular circumstances, such as your willingness to trade time for money in pursuing repair vs. replacement.

I want to fax from my computer, but get a message that I don't have an internal modem. Now what?

I went to print, PDF and then fax PDF. But got a message that I don't have an internal fax. Is there something I need to buy and install?

You need an external USB modem in order to fax. There is no fax modem built-in. This should work.

I'm trying to view a site that sends a message that I don't have the most recent graphic card drivers to view with. It suggests I have the ability to view, but that my drivers might be disabled. I don't know how to check to see what graphic drivers my macbook (end of 2008 model) have enable. Can someone help?

You don't need to care about graphic driver on Mac OSX. It includes in OSX and run the driver your MacBook need.
