I have 2 itunes libraries on my macbook, but can only access one. The itunes library file for the inaccessible library is subdued and won't open. Help?

When I select "Choose Library" the itunes library file is subdued. I copied the library file off of Time Machine and put it back in itunes, but it remains subdued. I'm running OS X 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.4.1. Help?

I too had this problem and have solved it. After upgrading to iTunes 10.4.1 (Running OS X 10.6.8) I could no longer select library files. Previously, I would launch iTunes with the option key down to trigger the "Choose Library" dialog box. I have three libraries, each of them stored in separate iTunes folder within my user:music folder. I would then double-click on a given folder to open it and then double-click on the library file. After the 10.4.1 upgrade the library files were grayed out (not selectable). The problem was resolved by changing what and how I selected. When the three iTunes folders were displayed I clicked once on a folder to select it (instead of double-clicking to open it) and then clicked the "open" button in the dialog box. This resulted was iTunes launched with the library file contained in that folder.

I have two apple accounts, but can only access one. I did all the steps to recover the older account's password but nothing worked. I need to access the older account to update apps. Also would there be a way to just combine both accounts?

Were you able to reset the account's password ? If not then how did you try to get it reset e.g. http://iforgot.apple.com (which would have sent it to the rescue email address if you have one on that account) ? You can also try contacting iTunes Support in your country to get it reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
And no, accounts can't be merged nor content transferred between accounts.

How do I download Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook Pro? It says that I have to disable my antivirus software but I never installed one. Does it come with the Mac in the first place?

That message is just a standard one issued, mainly for Windows users, you can disregard it if you didn't install any anti-virus. (OS X has one installed by Apple that doesn't interfere)
It's just some forms of anti-malware are really paranoid and lock the entire machine down. (like Norton)

You should have at least 10% of your total storage.
1 GB is not enough, you need to delete more

Hi Jennee,
You're using the Save As > Microsoft Word command in Acrobat (and what version are you using)? At what point does the status bar in the lower-right corner hang up (Pre-processing, Recontructing, and so on)? What type of content is there in the PDF, and how large is it? Are you having Acrobat run OCR on the file as it converts (you can check this by clicking Settings in the Save As dialog box)? Do you have trouble saving other PDF files as Word documents?
A lot of questions, I know. But I need to know a bit more about the document to determine why it's hanging up on export.
Thanks
Sara

I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page, but not all or pages 1-5. Can this be overcome?

I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page only, but not all or pages 1-5. I need to go to the next subsequent page and command to print current page; continuing with this procedure until all pages are printed one at a time. Can this be overcome?

You can use printPages(1, 5), however I need to know how you print current page.

In photoshop elements 12 i try to select multiple people to view in organize but can only select one

in photoshop elements 12 i try to select multiple people to view in organize but can only select one person at a time. if I try to select two or more people to see their pictures, I get nothing. I try to use CTL-click, but that does not work

Hi,
Try switching to Media view and then go to Find -> By Details.
Set the field to People and select the persons name.
You add further people by clicking on the + sign
The two options above the search criteria allow you to select all photos containing at least one or only ones with all of your selections.
The search can be saved in case you want to repeat it a later time.
Hope that helps

I have been working on the same numbers file for the past few weeks. The last time I opened it was 1 week ago. Today when I tried to open it I am unable and getting a message that the file is invalid and the index.xml file is missing.

I have been working on the same numbers file for the past few weeks. The last time I opened it was 1 week ago. Today when I tried to open it I am unable and getting a message that the file is invalid and the index.xml file is missing.

Hi Tracie,
I upgraded to Maverick OS X 10.9.5, numbers spreadsheet is saved. Upon re-opening, it appears to be frozen, a warning "file is invalid as index.xml file is missing". I checked, and the file is not "locked". This appears to occur only with using the new numbers app. When I open previous spreadsheets from old iWorks, no such problem occurs.
How did you resolve your problem?
Would appreciate any help here.
Thanks,
Deehay

I have a lot on books on my Kindle account. I have downloaded the app onto my IPAD but can only access my books when connected to WIFI, i would like to read them offline. Have I missed a download step. Thanks for any help you can give.

I have a lot of books on my Kindle/Amazon account. I have downloaded the Kindle app onto my IPAD mini by can only access my books when connected to WIFI, how can I read them off-line?

Yes, you've missed the download step.
Open the Kindle app and navigate to your Library. There is a tab at the bottom that says Cloud | Device. Tap the Cloud tab and tap the books you want to download to the device. You will see a progress indicator during the download. Once it's done, read away!

I downlaoded the latest iTunes version and now my Podcasts are gone from iTunes on my computer. Where can I access them on iTunes on my computer?

I downloaded the latest version of iTunes on my computer, and now my Podcasts are gone from iTunes (on my computer). Can I still access Podcasts in iTunes (on my computer) ? (I see the latest Podcasts downloading, but can't find them in iTunes. What am I overlooking?)

Could be since it (security software) is listed as #5 in the following:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Have my songs in my ipod, but can't play them from iTunes

recently imorted songs from CDs are in my ipod and, of course, listed in the library of iTunes, but when I try to play them usin iTunes, I am required "locate it because the original file cannot be found", although I can play those songs from my iPod without any problem. It wasn't like that before, so I guess I have changed something in iTunes setting or something like that.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Batta

You may have accidentally moved your iTunes Music Folder. Do a search on your computer and when you locate it, put it back in My Documents>My Music>iTunes. If you don't keep your music in the iTunes folder but some other then you need to locate that one and put it back to it's original position.

I download tv shows but can only see them in itunes when connected to the internet and periodically all tv shows disappear

I purchased a tv series and downloaded it (several hours) but i can only play it while connected to the internet, I assume it is somewhere in the cloud. What ever happened to buy it download it and it stays on the hard drive? The other day 8 tv series and 7 movies that i had previously purchaed had disappeared from itunes.

Hi smonkey123,
There are several ways you can try syncing your iPod to the music in iTunes on your new computer. They are detailed in this article -
