i do, but like i said it fell once and since then it hasn't been able to connect to my laptop. it acts like nothing's connected. i believe if i call the company the HDD is from they'll be able to transfer it to a new one but who knows how much they'd charge. looks like i have no choice now.
If it were truly a backup, then the media would play on the laptop as it would be on the laptop.
Sounds like you actually do not have a backup, instead you chose to keep your media on an external drive.
Regardless of where the media is stored, it's always a good idea to have a backup for instances like this.

You have to have an internet connection, either wireless or through a computer with iTunes. When you choose Software Update you can only update to the latest version for your iPod Touch, iOS 6.1.6

I can't log into iMessage; I get the message "Unable to verify email because it is already in use".

I have iOS5 installed on my iPad and iPhone. I can't log into iMessage on my iPad as I get the message "Unable to verify email because it is already in use". Can anyone help me solve this?

I've found the answer to this (at least for me)!
The problem is I have 2 AppleIDs. One from before MobileMe which I use to make iTunes purchases (which is linked to my @me.com email) and the second is my MobileMe email address used for MobileMe syncing.
Each AppleID has to be linked to a separate email address. Because my iTunes Apple ID is linked and verified to my @me.com address. My @me.com AppleID address can't be verified.....quite confusing at first but starts to make sense once you get your head around it!
See this thread for futher explanation: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16414211#16414211

I spoke with Apple Support this morning and they believe anything MobileMe related is due to the conversion over to iCloud that's taking place.
As for other email clients, check with your host to see if settings have changed on their end. I use inmotionhosting.com and over the weekend the updated their outgoing requirements so that a password authentication is now needed.
Hope that helps get some on the right path to resolving their issues!

I recently bought some new albums and can't play them on my ipod

I just encountered the same problem on my 2 month old MBPro. I found a work around by changing USB ports. As for the actual cause or the reason why that worked, I dont know. The USB port I was using works fine with my phone or other USB devices.

If they were songs you purchased from itunes, try redownloading them from your purchases...
if that doednt work, make sure the optuon to copy files to itunes media folder is checked in settings, then find and download from the net. and re-add them to your library

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
You buy one and only one download. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.

I keep getting a message "unable to download application"

I keep getting the message cannot download application then gives the apps name then says cannot download at this time. Then gives me a choice to either press done or retry. If I hit done it stops trying to load it and I cannot use the app and if I press retry it keeps trying to download and I keep getting the message I just stated. And stays gray. This happens with any and all apps under 20mb(even ones that r as small as 1mb and under)that has an upgrade or that I try to just download right from my phone. Then when I plug it in to pc it's like it doesn't even acknowledge that it's on my phone and leaves the app gray. So the only way I can get it to work when it's gray is to delete it off my phone and redownload it from iTunes once plugged it to pc. This has been going on since last iPhone OS upgrade and is getting fusterating. Now they will download if and when I can find wi fi(which is not often in my area). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem.

Since Nov 14 I haven't been able to access iBooks. I get the message "unable to download application. iBooks cannot be downloaded at this time "

Since Nov 14 I havent been able to access iBooks. I get a window saying "unable to download application. iBooks cannot be downloaded at this time" . I have powered off and on countless times but it just won't open. Any suggestions please?

Demo, I tried this but I still get the same message.
When I look at the iBooks app on the iPad screen the slider at the bottom is permanently visible as if it is about to download. When I tap the app to start downloading "waiting" appears underneath for about one second then it disappears and the above message window pops up.
So for the last month I have not been able to read any of the 3 books I recently downloaded. I haven't been able to do much about it as I have been travelling from the UK to Asia (the long way) so Apple stores haven't been on my route. I had hoped to read the books while travelling on various flights but it's been very frustrating not being able to do so.
Thanks for your suggestion. Do you think it could have something to do with my iPad being an older version - MB294B (5.1.1 9B206)? Maybe it's telling me I need to buy a new one.
PS. Exactly the same thing is happening with another of my apps. It is for an online store in the UK which I won't be using again for some time so I'm not too bothered about that one.

I keep getting the message "Unable to verify email because it is already in use." Please help!!

I'm trying to set up iMessage. But I keep getting the error message:
iMessage Activation
Unable to verify email because it is already in use.
It's not on my game center email or anywhere else that I know. How can I find out what is is in use to??

Okay I figured out my problem. When you use the "add another email" option in FaceTime (or iMessage now), it associates that email address with your Apple ID account that you logged in under.
The Apple ID that I'm using for FaceTime isn't the same as the one iMessage defaulted to. I didn't noticed that. Once I switched iMessage to use my other Apple ID, it let me register. What's odd though is that iMessage doesn't recognize my email address as valid when I try to send myself a test message. When I logged out and into a different Apple ID, it did recognize it as registered though. Odd.
So Basically make sure the email address you are trying to register isn't listed as an alternate email address (or primary) on another Apple ID account.

Can't open re-installed Firefox - get this message: Error: platform version5.0 is not compatible with minVersion = 6.0 maxVersion = 6.0

Had to uninstall Firefox as it stopped working. The went to website and downloaded Firefox once more. Pressed the .exe and the file went through the installation okay, but when I tried to open Firefox I get:
Error: platform version5.0 is not compatible with
minVersion > = 6.0
maxVersion < = 6.0
The only option i have is to press OK and nothing else happens.
Can you offer any help - it is beyond me and I am missing Firfox and have lost all my bookmarks.

The updater wasn't able to update all the files and some were left as older versions.<br />
Do a clean reinstall.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Have you disabled any firewall and security/antivirus programs? This seems to have helped the vast majority of people who have posted the same problem in this forum.

After Nook upgrade, ADE upgraded to 4.0 on my mac. Authorized, attempting to download from library, getting error message " unable to download, error getting license, E_act_Not_ready"

Using my nook reader was always easy. Since this upgrade, not able to even download into ADE.
Help

Also, I have uninstalled ADE former version, installed ADE4.0 and authorized it. Nook did an upgrade on 12/16/14. Does not work, even with Nook not connected to Mac.

When I'm in the app store, I get error message "unable to download purchase, try again later". Any suggestions?

Any help would be awesome...I really don't want to reset my phone.
Thanks,

Firstly, I should have typed speedtest.net previously.
Now that's an interesting comment you make, out of interest do you have any purchased HD movies in your iTunes collection, if so, do they play on the Apple TV with your new tv.
