I hope someone has the answer

Alright, when I open an existing file, it gives me an error
saying: "Seek failure..blah blah"
What the heck does this mean!!! How do I get to open my file
again, or will I ever!!! I have been working on it for the past 4
d**n months!
Help please.

it is corrupt sorry to say - and after 4 months, well, hate
to say, you should have made at least
one back up - I back-up all files everyday as a habit. It is
rare for a file to become corrupt, but
the bigger they get the more likely it is. 4 months and no
backup is a tough break but easily
prevented by doing a simple "save-as" with new name.
Sorry I can't help you but i don't think it is retrievable.

  • Disapointed with itunes support hope someone has a answer

    I should first say that the purpose in this post is not to slam itunes support but to find someone with a helpful answer.
    About two weeks ago my computer started telling me that 100 of my songs could not sync because they were not authorized with this computer. I click to authorize, it tells me this computer is authorized. I went to the Apple support page and discussion boards and I have tried every option. When nothing worked I sent a message to itunes support stating everything above.
    Below is the frustrating correspondence I'm now having with itunes support.
    ME:I can't authorize my system to play purchases my system keeps requesting that I authorize, then tells me I am authorized. I have done all the trouble shooting options found on the apple support page and spoken to a iphone support person and they said the problem is with itunes. Please help.
    ITUNES:Dear N
    Thank you for contacting iTunes Store Customer Support. My name is Pradeep. I am glad to assist you for the day.
    I apologize for the delay in response from us. The delay is happening due to unexpected high volume of request. I know it must have been difficult for you to wait for a response from us and I deeply regret that.
    N, please accept my sincere apologies for all the frustration caused you.
    I am sorry to hear that you are repeatedly asked to authorize your computer. I know how disappointing that must be.
    N, the information in this article should help you resolve this:
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    If you are still asked to authorize your computer after following the instructions in the article above, please let me know and I will assist you further.
    Thank you for understanding and patience. You are a valued member of the Apple family. Your experience with the iTunes Store is of utmost importance to us. Thank you for being an iTunes Store customer.
    Have a nice day !!!
    Sincerely,
    Pradeep
    iTunes Store Customer Support
    ME:As I said in my original email, I have tried all of this, it is still not working.
    (in the email below he was wrong I don't have two accounts, my husband and I have two diffrent accounts and home sharing)
    Itunes:Thank you for contacting iTunes Store Support. I am Pradeep again. I glad to assist you for the day.
    N, please accept my sincere apologies for all the frustration caused you.
    I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble authorizing your computers to play your purchases.
    I did a little investigating and found that you have multiple iTunes accounts:
    Please note that it is not possible to merge two or more accounts, and your computers need to be authorized for all of your accounts or some of your purchases may not play.
    To authorize your computers, follow these steps on each computer for each account:
    1) Make sure you have installed the latest version of iTunes. You can download the latest version free of charge:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
    2) Open iTunes.
    3) From the Store pull-down menu at the top, choose Authorize Computer.
    4) Enter one of your account names and the password for the account.
    Note: You must select the AOL button for your AOL accounts and the Apple button for your Apple ID accounts in order for authorization to be successful.
    5) Click Authorize. A dialog will tell you if the authorization was successful or unsuccessful and how many computers you have authorized for that account.
    Repeat steps 3 to 5 for each account listed above.
    If you forgot the password to one of your Apple ID accounts, you can recover it using the Apple password-recovery website:
    http://iforgot.apple.com
    If you can't remember your AOL password, call AOL at 1-800-827-6364 or click the link below to be taken to the area of AOL's website where you can reset the password yourself:
    https://account.login.aol.com/opr/_cqr/opr/opr.psp
    To figure out which account you used to purchase a particular item, follow these steps:
    1) Control-click (or right-click) the item in your iTunes Library.
    2) Choose Get Info from the menu that appears.
    3) Click the Summary tab.
    Note the account name that appears in the list. The account name that appears is what it was when you purchased the item. Even if you have changed your account name since then, the item's Summary will continue to display the original account name.
    You can also review your entire purchase histories. This article shows you how:

    Have a nice day !!!
    well again he sent me to the website I already told him I have been to, and I also said the whole problem is that the prompt tells me to authorize when it is authorized, WHY did he think he needed to tell me how to authorize my computer?
    ME: Once again, the computer IS authorized! The music that will not play is a random 100 songs out of over 1000 that had been purchased on MY account. You have not provided me any information that I have not already read and tried from the apple support web page.
    Once again if you had read the first email you would know this. I must now request a supervisor to contact me preferably by phone at xxx-xxx-xxxx. If it must be by email please be sure that my problem is thoroughly investigated before contacting me, as I am tired of repeating myself.
    Well; once again he tells me to try options that I have done, and stated in my first email.

    At the point when he even says this is out of his league but he's not sending it to someone who can help, I think I may loose it. This is my last responce, yes it was a bit angry but not nearly as angry as I wanted to be. I have yet to hear back.
    ME:How many times do I have to tell you? I Have Done That!!! I Have Spoken with apple support, the problem is something iTunes must fix! Why am I forced to continue to tell you the same thing over and over again?
    It is painfully clear you lack the ability to help me. Please send this to someone who can.
    This is so frustrating. And message boards all over show the same problem. 100 random purchases that will not play, and the trouble shooting options not working. I dont know what to do.
    Oh and I have tried removing the 100 songs it just picks a new 100 songs not to sync.

    That's a shame. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1389 should cover most of the issues. The 100 random songs bit is simply that iTunes only bothers to list the first 100 problem songs. At that point, as far as iTunes is concerned, none of your songs are authorised. Again, I realise you've probably tried this already, but is your user account an admin account, or have you tried switching to an admin account to authorise the computer? Do the songs play in iTunes only then not to sync or will they not play either? It may be worth looking at the permissions on the C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer folder and making sure that Everyone & SYSTEM both have full access, then replacing the permissions on child objects, before attempting the SC.Info removal tip again.
    I'm just shooting in the dark here however. If I recall the one time I had the problem personally the fix was to deathorise the PC, attempt to play a DRM'd track (i.e. don't use Store > Authorise computer first), authorise, job done. Hopefully there are others on these boards with more experience resolving this type of issue who can wade in with suggestions. I guess if it were me I'd also check I can at least get a different machine properly authorised to my account, i.e. put a DRM'd track on a USB stick and make sure I can play it on another machine. If you're at the 5 computer limit deauthorise all may also be worth a shot.

    I have a problem when I receive calls I can not hear well or when it cuts, like when I pass calls. I have to put the earphone. someone has the same problem?

    I solved it myself, after the "note" which came back from FF/Mozilla just as I finished my message, commenting on what it was that my system had , I wnnt back to check my plug-ins etc. I downloaded the latest Java, BOTH 32bit AND 64 bit versions and latest Firefox.
    Now all is working.

    Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

  • Ipod classic (photo) and windows version not recognized by itunes on my macbook air. Iphone works fine and previously it also worked out with the Ipod. If someone has an answer that would be great. thanks

    itunes on my mac does not any longer show my ipod classic (photo, window formated). It worked before and itunes with iphone just works fine. Any clue? Thanks.

    Sorry to jump the gun, but did you connect the iPod via USB Hub on the MB Air?
    If plug it into the wrong USB port, which is shared like using a USB Hub, I would suggest connecting the iPod directly to the MB Air and not via USB Hub.
    But if you connect directly, have the iPod ever connect to iTunes, without problems, on this MB Air?
    You got an old 4G iPod photo, based on iPod Software version 1.2.1
    I mean downgrade to the iTunes version, that was working, with your iPod, but try the right USB port first before downgrading iTunes, with earlier version download here.

  • TS1398 My wifi signal in my iphone 4 is very poor it wasn't the same before. When ever I try to play video it stopes streaming. I hope apple has an answer for this.

    I do not experience any problem browsing Internet or using social networks via wifi but whenever I play a video from YouTube or any other source it stopes streaming after playing 10 to 15 sec video, doesn't matter how close I am from the homehub or which Internet provider I am using. Recently I am experiencing that my phone became slow after installing the new iOS 6.1.2. Application takes time to open. Sometimes application closes on there won without any command. The key l board became slower. I wish I could get the previous version of iOS which was perfect for my iPhone 4.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    - Reset all settings                  
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
      - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Someone has the same email address as me!

    I know this shouldn't be possible but it's happening!  I have an apple email address [email protected] and as I understand it that automatically gives me [email protected] too.  I don't ever use the icloud domain but I have tested it and if I send an email to [email protected] I receive the email.
    A month or so ago I received a load of emails, receipt etc. for a purchase that had been made on a website, registered to the email address [email protected]  I presumed someone must have entered the wrong email address and so contacted the website owner and said I'd been sent these emails in error.  They contacted the person and came back to me saying that they had said the email address was correct.  I asked them to contact them again (they are in Australia, I'm in the UK) and explain what was happening, double check the email address and ask if they had been receiving my emails.  The response was that the email address was definitely correct, they didn't use it very often and no, they hadn't been receiving my emails.  They couldn't help me any more and so I thought maybe they hadn't realised they'd made an error with the email address. I emailed them on [email protected] but I heard nothing more.
    Now the same thing has happened with another website.  Whoever is using this email address has subscribed to a website, paid a fee for membership and I received all the emails, a receipt, documents that came with the purchase and also a login username and password.  I logged into the site, it worked. Unfortunately there was no area where I could leave a message.  Once again I have emailed them on [email protected]  I have also searched for the person on Facebook using [email protected] and if I've found the right person they are only a young teenage girl.  Again I have emailed them on [email protected] and asked them to contact me on another email address.  I have heard nothing so I don't know if they received the email... I received it though!
    I don't know how 2 people can be allocated the same email address but what is really worrying me is that if I am receiving emails intended for someone else are they receiving my emails?!!!  That would really be a security problem as my email address is registered to lots of websites, my utilities etc.
    Can anyone shed any light on how this can happen?  I have put a telephone support request into Apple but the earliest was in 2 days.

    The websites that she has signed up to I have logged in and there is no message asking for email verification which suggests she is receiving emails.
    If they could sign in using an email address that isn't verified then all the website owner has is her word that she is receiving their emails.  Besides, if there had been a verification email for these sites, you would have seen it too; which suggests that there wasn't.
    Once you get the password changed they will not be able to receive any email from the account, even if they do now.  That may not be the end of the problem, however, as there would still be nothing to prevent them from continuing to use the address to sign up on websites that don't verify the address.  If it persists, you may have to either create a new iCloud account in order to get a new email address, or create an alias address to use within the existing iCloud account and stop using your main address for email.  Then you can set up an email rule on icloud.com that sends email from the main addres to the trash where it is deleted 30 days later.  This explains how to create an alias address: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a.  This explains how to set up an email rule: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a3f8a.  Good luck.

  • TV adapter playing up -- surely someone has an answer!

    Why won't my iBook's tv adapter work?
    This problem has been bugging me for nearly a year. I've asked the question in nearly every mac forum I could find (I even asked here) -- but no one has offered me a solution.
    ...I bought a video adapter from the apple store.
    For the first few weeks, it worked fine. After plugging the adapter into my iBook (G4, 1.2 gigs, 10.3.9), I had the option to change my display preference between NTSC/PAL.
    One day, whilst using Quicktime (I think I was launching th application at the time) I unplugged the adapter. When I plugged it back in, the picture on the television became flickery and scrambled.
    I looked at my display preferences and instead of having the NTSC/PAL options, my iBook was now detecting the adapter as an external VGA display and I was given a load of resolution and refresh rate options as if it was connected to an external monitor (none of these options work with the TV)... but no NTSC/PAL.
    This continues.
    I've tried unplugging, restarting, unplugging in sleep mode, restarting plugged in/un-plugged, resetting PRAM, repairing permissions... nothing seems to fix it...
    Anyone?
    iBook G4 12   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    I have the exact same problem. I've searched high and low for an answer. Many people seem to have this problem - just check the "display" forum here...
    I believe mine stopped working while installing one of the latest security fixes but it seems to have scrambled something deeper as the problem cannot be fixed by reinstalling OS X.
    I've also reset the pram and pmu. Does apple read these forums??? Time for a fix, guys!

  • Who has the answer to email in iPhoto?

    who can get the email to work from iphone? please let us know because I have a case open and we still can't get it fixed.
    To save your typing. It is not my prefernces, u/n-password, or configurations in iphoto. It is done right. I re-entered it a thousand times...currently by default I get the u/n-password is incorrect. IT IS NOT, IT IS CORRECT, IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING ELSE.
    However, I notice that the port numbers are different from MacMail, but when I use the default port 993 iphoto comes back as not responding.
    the only thing that confuses me is that my when I signed up for icloud I used j****@yahoo.com and now use g****@me.com. Maybe the mix up is there?
    Anyway, I esclated the problem to tiered support, they had me clear out my ACL, still no good. so will go at it again today

    I had to reset my Apple password to the new Apple protocol - in my case, I needed to add a capital letter.  If that could be your problem, reset your password here:

  • I hope you know the answer for this "easy" question

    I created a package for my JSP and import it to be used in a JSP. It works great, but for some reason, it displays an error message saying it can't find the class in import. Can anyone explain that? Thanks.
    null

    Have you "registered" the class in the JServ.conf file in the JServ directory under the Apache install? The JServ engine will not know where to find the class that you want if it is not in any of the paths that were set up suring the install (CLASS_PATH environment variable). To register a class, look in the file for directives named wrapper.classpath= . Add the jar file that contains the class that you wish to use. This should fix your problem.

    ok.  I hope someone can answer my question.  I am new to photoshop.  I need version cs4 in order to work with a designer and printer on some logo work. I've tried to download it but it just gives me individual files with no installer and nothing - including the adobe "instructions" seems to work.  How can i get this software in a downloadable format? is it actually free - I'm assuming it is...  Hope someone knows the answer to these questions...

    The download itself is free and is valid for 30 days only.  After that, the software ceases to work.
    CS4 is pretty old, no longer sold and no longer supported by Adobe.  It's also not compatible with many modern OSes.
    Why do you have to work with such an obsolete version of Photoshop?
    What kind of "designer" uses it?

  • My itune account has a different email than my apple id how do i fix it? someone has my old email and is receiving my itunes and some old emails

    My itune account has a different email than my apple id and someone has the old email address associated with my itunes so she receives lots of my information.  How do I fix this I already tried to change my itunes to my new email associated with my apple id and it states the address I entered is already associated with an apple id.

    You can change the primary email address on it to be another email address (if you don't have another account then you could create one via http://gmail.com or http://hotmail.com). You can't delete an account, you can only remove personal info from it (e.g. credit card details if you have on it) and stop using it - but any items (apps, music etc) that were downloaded on the account will remain tied to it, so only that account will be able to authorise that content on a new computer, potentially redownload its purchases, and download updates to its apps

The situation; 3 floors,I am having trouble with an an Airport Extreme, 802.11n on the top floor and a Mac Pro 3.1 on the bottom floor. Not always but often it has trouble seeing the Airport and making a connection. I have an older Airport Express, would it help to install it? would it work best if it was installed in the same room? should it be installed half way in between? Get another Extreme? The Mac Book Pro on the middle floor can see 11 networks in the neighbourhood if that might be causing a problem or would if I installed the Express. Thank for your consideration.   

    Thanks for your time ... I appologize for the font and colour, I compossed the question in pages and failed to notice the font colour as grey ... there are a variety of computers of various ages so I think it is using a setting that allows both 5G and 2.4 ... the connection to the Airport is thru a cable modem and cable does run throuhout the house ... maybe those hard wires would be a place to look at ... do you think that putting the 'Express' on the second floor might help ... thanks again ...
