I have songs but cannot access them

i just bot my macbook and synced my music onto it using the icloud. the songs, albums, and artists are displayed but it wont let me access the actual music. ive tried synching my iphone with it and now my phone has no music either.

How did you sync music onto the new macbook? Are you using itunes Match, or are you downloading previous purchases again?

I have uploaded the photos from my PC to iCloud but cannot access them on my ipad

I Have uploaded my photos to iCloud from my PC but cannot access them with the photo app.

I have tried numerous times but no actual picture. There is a frame for the pictures on keynote but the picture does not seem to be available.

After a recent iTunes update attempt iTunes no longer functions and the airport extreme base station is not accessable on our computer. We still have wifi but cannot access the base station software.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the response. I tried that approach this evening and it didn't work for me. (Technically it worked for me, when I was hardwired into my base station, but would not work for me wirelessly, which is my main issue.)
Again, using the approach you recommended works only if I have my ethernet cable attached to the LAN port so my computer is communicating directly to the base station through the hard wire. I am able to scan for my base station and make setting adjustments normally this way too.
As soon as I disconnect from the LAN port and try to go wireless is where I run into problems. The Base Station's wireless network I created is available to choose in the top right corner of the monitor with all of the other available wireless devices/networks -- but the network I created does not have access to the internet. I am also unable to configure my Base Station wirelessly. When my Airport Utility tries to scan for the Base Station and Network, it cannot find any Apple Wireless Device. It's like the Wireless Network in my base station is not sending out a signal.
Is there a way to resolve this issue?

HT1473 I am trying to upload my itunes music from my ipod to my computer. My current Itunes library is listing the songs, but cannot find them when I try to put them on to my iphone.

I am trying to upload my itunes music from my ipod to my itunes on my computer. My itunes music lists all of the music, but cannot find it when I try to load it to my phone.
The songs are on my ipod, but not on my phone and I don't know how to get them from one device to the other.

In your case, it would be better to have transferred the library to an external drive from the PC. Then, connect it to the iMac and put the library onto the Music folder.
You used Migration Assistant, and it creates a new user with the transferred data.
Open  > Log Out, and log in the new user. Then, open a Finder window, choose Music in the sidebar and you will see the iTunes library. Now, you have to move the iTunes library to /Users/Shared (select Go menu -in the menu bar- > Go to Folder, type that and copy the iTunes library to it). Finally, log in the other user, go to the same folder and move the library to the Music folder.
After doing that, open System Preferences > Users and Groups, choose the user created by Migration Assistant and press the - button to remove it. This is easier if you have an external drive

Time machine backups visible but cannot access them to retrieve old photos.

hello community.
i recently purchased a newish macbook pro. i restored it from a time machine backup with no problems. i got a new computer because all my music and photos wouldnt fit. so the old photos i had backed up a few months ago (then deleted because of no space) werent put back on because of more recent backups i made then restored the new comp to. NOW. i cannot access the old time machine backups even though they are visible in the "star wars" screen when i enter time machine. i cannot click on a backup and retrieve those photos i had backed up ages ago but i can see all of them from about two years ago.
i have tried unplugging, verifying with the disk utility(all of which came up fine), and shouting. all of which do not work. any ideas? i feel like im missing something really simple.
thanks!

In the Finder, right-click or control-click the folder icon and select
Show View Options
from the contextual menu. In the dialog that opens, select None from the Arrange by menu. Close the dialog, enter Time Machine, and try again.
Another reason why items in a snapshot might not be selectable is that the time-travel view is open on a secondary display. Move it to the primary display, or if necessary, exit and disconnect the external display.

Hi ..
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

Mail icon shows new messages but cannot access them

I am setting up my email account on my new iPod Touch. Put in all the info, the account is verified, the mail icon shows 50 unread messages, but when I tap the icon I see the same old list of mail services, iCloud, MS Exchange, but not my account. My mail service, an independant, supports pop and iMac so I have set it up as both and neither works. Seems like it is logging into the account. Any idea?

It is covered in the Troubleshooting chapter of the iPod users Guide. It includes:
"Restarting and resetting iPod touch
If something isn’t working right, try restarting iPod touch, forcing an app to close, or resetting
iPod touch.
Restart iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger
across the slider to turn off iPod touch. To turn iPod touch back on, hold down the On/Off button
until the Apple logo appears. \"

ITunes authorizes the songs but cannot play them!

I just upgraded to Vista. Many of my purchased songs work fine. But when I try to play some songs, iTunes asks to authorize it. I do this. It says the authorization was succesful. But when I try to do this again, it goes back to the authorization screen!
Please help.

Same here...but none of my songs will play that were purchased. Just upgraded to Vista today...
I've tried everything except uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes...

You will need to erase the HDD and start over by reinstalling the OS and setting the Mac up as a new one with your own Apple ID.
Linc gives you a few options how;

De-authorise all, then authorise the one you still have.

I can create events, but then cannot access them in Facebook. Help.

I've created several events for a Facebook group/fan website. The "create an event" link works for me. BUT after creating event(s), I cannot access them via events link on page or via Facebook search. Often I NEED to get back to them to edit -- but I can't. Others can see them however, so I am wondering if this is a Firefox (12.0) issue. Of course I have contacted Facebook -- three times -- and of course they are nonresponsive. (and i've already tried, per firefox "help," deleting cache, allowing cookies -- etc., everything firefox suggested...)

Check if Facebook is working normally on other Web Browsers like IE, Chrome, etc.
* See this article -> [[Error loading web sites]]
Also, make sure that your Firefox Plugins are updated.
-> Update All your Firefox Plugins by visiting the following link:
* http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
* '''When Downloading Plugins setup files, Remove Checkmark from Downloading other Optional Softwares with your Plugins (e.g. Toolbars, McAfee, Google Chrome, etc.)'''
Check and tell if its working.

Made the switch to an mac from a PC. I imported the files but looks like my folders are protected and i cannot access them. Any thoughts on how to remove permissions?

All the pictures and files that were migrated are in folders that I do not have access to on the mac now. They imported fine, but now I cannot access them, Any thoughts on how to get them?

What you can do is this:
Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the command line prompt and paste the following line:
sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn`
Put a space after "-gn`" and drag the folder that has all the imported folders into the Terminal window.
Press RETURN. You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.
This should give all the files and folders the same permissions as your Home folder so you can access the data. If the folders with your files are not contained in a single folder, then create a new folder on your Desktop (COMMAND-SHIFT-N) and drag all the imported folders into this new folder.

Ios7 now installed on my iphone 4S, emails show up but I cannot access them, message says cannot get mail - server failed. Why is this happening?

My message titles appear but I cannot access them since they are greyed out. Message in front says server failed. Messages accessable on regular computer, why the problem? Yesterday I installed ios7 on my iphone 4s..

I have this question too! I updated my Iphone iOS software last night and this morning, I cannot access my mail as it says that I cannot connect to the server. On both my Iphone and Macbook, when I open mail- it says that the server rejected my password for ICloud. I can also log in to ICloud online, so I know that it isn't my password- HOWEVER, when I try to access mail through the cloud online, it tells me that it is unable to obtain my mail. Is there an iCloud server problem currently? Is it a software problem? Please help with any suggestions! Thanks in advance.
