I have an external hardrive for MAC, I needed to save something from my work computer so I can pass it on to my MAC, it requiered me to re-format my external HD and now when I connected to my MAC I only have "read only rights". How do I fix it? I run my Itnues from this external and now my library is gone. Luckily I have it saved somewhere else, which is not a problem, but I won't be able to write to this HD for right now. I can't see an option to give those permission back.

Unless what you have to transfer is enormous, skip the external HD altogether and use a USB flash drive; you can get them with capacities to 128GB. Format the flash drive as FAT32 or ExFAT as LowLuster suggests so it can be read and written to on both PC's and your Mac.

I am trying to update a 4s. The update did not work for some reason. Now I need to restore the iPhone. When I connect the usb to the computer and phone it says I need to restore. So, I click to restore. It starts extracting the software. But I am continually getting the same error message that it cannot complete for unknown error. I have been working on this for 5 and a half hours. I'm tired, mu husband needs his phone and apple support is a joke and of course I can't find any answers anywhere. Please help!
Hi MB2751,
As an iPhone user myself, I know it must be very much a problem to have the phone out of service because of an error such as you are seeing. Let's see if we can get you back up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Upgraded to itunes 11.4 and now when i connect my iphone 4s..itunes crash!!!!
upgraded to itunes 11.4 and now when i connect my iphone 4s..itunes crash!!!!when the iPhone is disconnected iTunes is working properly....
please help me!!!Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful. -

I just downloaded the new Mac OS X v10.7 Lion, and now when I go on the Mac Store
I just downloaded the new Mac OS X v10.7 Lion, and now when I go on the Mac Store to download a game (N.O.V.A 2) it goes straight to the Launch Pad, as it's supposed to, but the game it's self wont download, it just keeps saying "waiting" I never had this problem before, any ideas?
I'm connected through my Sky Wifi, it's extremely quick, and I don't have any problems with it. Yes it asked me for my Account Email, and password as normal, then it did that little annimation where it flys into the Launch Pad, then it's saying "waiting" where it should be saying downloading.

Hi Linda,
Unplugging it from AC power will drain the PRAM Battery in short order, thereby losing setting, like Monitor resolution.
You can test the Pram Battery by disconnecting from the Internet so Date/Time doesn't update before you see it, shutdown, unplug AC for a bit, startup & check Time.
In Sys Pefs>Displays, can you set the resolution? -
I just switched from a PC to a Mac, and now when I connect my ipod, the computer doesnt recognize it. Any suggestions?
You probably need to move your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER from your PC to your MAC...
You can do this via an External Drive...

I deleted adobe and now files won't open with preview automatically like they use to. How do I fix this?
I think you solved my problem! Upon following your advice, I first got a message that I had not allowed a connection to the Tax dept computers, which would prevent the file I need to fill out from being e-filed. I proceeded to then open the file at the top of which was a security banner at which I chose the site as safe. I then filled in the first line of the form which autofilled other lines telling me I was connected with the tax site. In a few days when I have the data I need, I will actually attempt to file the return. If there is a problem, I will send another message. Thanks so much for your assistance!

earlier i was bored and decided to open my iPod Nano 6th Generation to see if i could fix the broken sleep button, i think when i was removing the battery i might have beat it up a little, and idk if i did anything wrong to the logic board, now when i connect it it says, "USB Device Not Recognized, One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it" and it gets hot when i charge it and the music doesnt play even if i use the headphones with controls on them, it was working fine earlier:(
They are pretty much designed to fail after about a year so you will have to buy a replacement. I would suggest an earlier model or to take your business elsewhere. I have gone through my fourth and final ipod nano 6th generation.

I just updated iTunes, and now when I connect my phone iTunes crashes.
I just updated iTunes to the latest version, and then when I connected my iPhone I received an error message saying iTunes had encountered a problem and DEP closed it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and nothing has helped so far. I am in the process of uninstalling everything and installing an older version but I searched on google and found others have had this exact problem. Is there a solution to this problem yet??
Hi,
same problem was here to with Windows 7 home premium 64-bit. I Had also problems with my multimedia-keys on the razer tarantula. They won't be recognized.
After having to much trouble with 10.4 is was using my systembackup to restore to 10.3. I must do this because after reinstalling 10.3 iTunes told me that the database is incompatibe.
No everything is working as normal. Hoping Apple will fix these things and also the new Safara 5.1 that will destroy the iTunes Store in 10.4 (Only blank white screen).

Itried to upgrade my software at work which failed and wiped my phone . It then wouldnt restore either and put the phone in recovery mode.
I installed a new version of itunes on a home computer and restored my phone but it now has none of my contacts apps photos etc.
How can I get this back from my work computer without restoring as this will fail again. Is there anyway of sending my backup from my work computer to icloud and backing up from there?
I think the issue is that as I do not have administrator rights at work so the restore/backup fails each time.Follow this very helpful user tip by wjosten:

If that doesn't work and you have not verified your email address, you may still be able to use it to create an Apple ID. Just start from scratch. -
Hi I have a year old Macbook pro. I was using a miniport to connect it to the TV via HDM cable. It was working fine but I have used it for a couple of months kept it in a drawer and now it doesnt work. When connected to the TV the screen on the mac goes blue as though there is some signal then back to original screen but the TV doesnt show what's on the laptop. Please any suggestions, thanks??
Hello nothingissecret
Check out the article below for troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue. One would be to try a different cable or adapter to test with the television.
