When I try to print from my iPad I see a message "searching for printer" and then "no printer found.". I have a printer application loaded and it finds my wireless printer.   How do I get the iPad to do the same so I can print from emails, the web, etc?

No. If it states designed for both iPad and iPhone, then it won't run on an iPod touch.

I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extrem. How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptops hard drive??

I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extreme (2 TB drive plugged into the USB port). I see the drive on my laptop and I can add and delete files no problem. How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptop's hard drive? I don't have enough space to do that.

How did you move the music to the external drive? What exactly is on the drive? The entire iTunes folder or only music? If it is the entire iTunes folder you can do the option+start suggestion earlier. If you copied only music and did so by dragging it there then you need to delete it again and consolidate/organize it there instead so iTunes tracks the move. iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507

Can iTunes search for all music on my system and rebuild the library?

Is there any way to make iTunes search for all music on my hard drive and completely rebuild the library from scratch?
Thanks.

do you know how to re-locate files to an existing library?
All of a sudden, about 2/3 of my songs (over 6,000) will not play and a box comes up saying "The song 'x' could not be used because the original file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it?"
I went to Edit > Preferences > Advanced and have the correct (fixed) external drive letter selected for the folder location. and the files haven't moved, but iTunes isn't finding them. Restarted the computer making sure the drive was on.
I'd like to not lose all the ratings I've worked on. Hoping you or someone has a solution!!
thanks!

Getting error 80072f0d when trying to search for N...

Hi there,
I'm getting an error when trying to search for Nokia Lumia 800 update through Windows Phone 7 Connector on my Mac. Attached below the is the full error message. Can anybody help me with this, please? Thank you very much!!
Some more info, my phone currently runs OS version 7.10.8107.79.
Here now the error message:
We aren’t able to check "NOKIA Lumia 800" for available updates right now. Please try again later. If you need to contact support, reference error 80072f0d
Current Version: 07.10.08107.03

Hi,
Thanks for your feedback both of you.
It may be required for you to reset the Lumia in order for the update to be installed. You will find this option in Settings>About>reset your phone. This will erase all information on your phone so make sure you have synced all contact and calendar data with your respective Exchange Active Sync accounts and your media files with Zune. You can use the app Reinstaller to download all (paid) apps again. When prompted select BUY for your app and it will be recognized as bought before and you will be allowed to install it again.
Hope this helps,
Kosh

Searching for Free Music in iTunes.

Is there a way to search for free music in the iTunes Music Store?
Thanks
Michael

There is no back catalog of free music in the iTunes Store. Each free single is available only for a week. So the free track listed on the main iTunes Store page, Laura Marling this week in Aus, is the only free track available at this time. Next week there will be a different track available free.

Over the air update did not come out until iOS 5. You need to open iTunes on your computer and connect your phone to it and follow the prompts to update. Do a manual back before you do that

Recently opening an HTML file on my computer makes firefox attempt a search for the entire file name in the search engine online, how to do i correct that?

when opening an HTML file recently my Firefox automatically opens up a yahoo search screen and the file, the entire file name and route for the file is searched for online. I don't even use Yahoo Search i use Google but that doesn't mater have to open the file manually with searching it on on the open screen to read it because it's trying to search for it online instead of reading it from where i clicked on it.

Please read this article about restoring bookmarks:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks
As far as your passwords are concerned, I don't think there's anything you can do. But for the future, you can use the following add-ons to avoid any future loss:

Both are good.
And a simple way to import your bookmarks (since you already saved it on your desktop as html) is:

Good luck.

Search for text within files

How do you search for files that contain a specific string of text? I tried going to the folder in the finder and typing the string in the search box, but it does not seem to return correct results. True, I do see a couple of files that contain my string, but it doesn't show all the results. There are files that I know contain the string in the same folder, but it does not show them??

Spotlight should index PDF files (as well as Word and some other kinds of files) but it seems that PDFs are not created equal. I've seen and heard complaints that some scanner/OCR programs are saving files that aren't searchable and yours is one of them. Try opening one of the files in Preview and resaving it.

Working on a script to search for and move files - need Guru help!

Hi, I'm trying to help my dad with a task and my outdated Applescript knowledge isn't helping me much.
Here's what I need to do in a nutshell:
FolderA contains a bunch of JPG files.
FolderB is the root of a hierarchy of folders containing DNG files.
Each file of FolderA has a mating file (same name but with .DNG) somewhere in the hierarchy of FolderB.
The goal is to move each JPG file from Folder A to the folder containing it's mate.
So, the basic flow is:
1. Get list of files in folderA
2. Looping through list, strip out file name (fileA) and find the DNG file somewhere inside FolderB
3. Get the path of the folder containing the matching DNG file
4. Copy/move FileA to the folder.
5. Loop back to #2
OK, so here's where I am:
tell application "Finder"
set JPEGfolder to "Macintosh HD:DadTest1:DadA"
set DNGfolder to "Macintosh HD:DadTest1:DadB"
set a_list to every file in Afolder
repeat with i from 1 to number of items in a_list
-- Everything happens within this loop
set a_file to (item i of a_list)
set fileInfo to info for a_file
set theName to displayed name of fileInfo as string
-- now theName contains the actual file name minus the extension
At this point I don't know how to search for the mating file using Applescript. If I was in UNIX I could do a "find . -name filename" and parse out the path, but I don't know how this works in Applescript.
I think I can figure out how to move the file once I have the path, but the search routine has me stumped for now.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

In my opinion your best bet is to take a 180° turn and simplify things significantly.
Your current approach involves multiple file searches - for each file in the JPEG folder, search all the DNG folders looking for a match. That's an large number of searches, and a large number of something that AppleScript isn't great at.
Instead you'd be far better off walking once through the DNG folders. For each DNG file look for a matching JPG file in the one folder that contains JPEGs. This would be exponentially faster - one walk through the filesystem vs. one walk through the filesystem for every JPEG.
This should give you an idea of what I'm talking about (untested):
global JPEGfolder
on run
set JPEGfolder to alias "Macintosh HD:DadTest1:DadA"
set DNGfolder to alias "Macintosh HD:DadTest1:DadB"
processAFolder(DNGfolder)
end run
on processAFolder(theFolder)
tell application "Finder"
repeat with eachItem in folder theFolder
if class of eachItem is file and name extension of eachItem is "dng" then
set basename to characters 1 through -5 of (get name of eachItem)
try
move file (basename & ".jpg") of folder JPEGfolder to folder theFolder
end try
else if class of eachItem is folder then
my processAFolder(eachItem)
end if
end repeat
end tell
end processAFolder
The idea here is that you start off in the top folder and iterate through each item. If the item is a file and it's name extension is DNG then try to move a corresponding file from the JPEG folder to the current folder. This is wrapped in a try block so the script doesn't fail if there is no corresponding JPG.
If the current item is a folder then the script descends into that folder by calling itself.

Applescript or Application for Mass Music File Identification

I've search all over the internet to find a program to do a relatively simple task: identify and tag all my music files. I have a ridiculous amount of music files that lost some or most of their information in transit from computer to external hdd. I don't have the time to individually go through each and every song and name, organize, and place all the files. Is there an applescript or program that will allow me to select upwards of 15,000 music files, scan them all, have all the information filled in and saved, all the while I can go to school and let it run?
Thanks

maybe _*Doug's AppleScripts*_ has something for you ?

When trying to update apps it asks for account password but it doesn't show my account. Help!

When trying to update apps it asks for account password but it doesn't show my account ID, it shows my dad's. How can I fix this so I can sign in?

It sounds like the apps were purchased using your dads account, so they will have to be updated using that account.
