I'm using ADE with a Mac and have successfully downloaded library books for a few years; suddenly today the books are downloading to the Finder but do not show up in ADE so that they can be put on my Nook.
Is anyone suddenly having trouble using Adobe Digital Editions on a Mac to download library books? I have been using this to load books on to my Nook and suddenly, out of nowhere, everything is downloading to the Finder app. ADE pops up like it always has when I download from the library website, but the book does not show up there.
Has something changed?
1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

My G Drive will not show up on my desktop for use. It did yesterday. It is not full and currently the light turns on and seems to be running but will not show up on my desktop. What can I do?
1. verify on another Mac first. and another port.
2. very likely dead SATA card

I have had an eMac for a few years. I don't know any of the specs. Every time I try to download or install a new version of itunes or OS I get any number of error messages and cannot complete. Help!!!!
It's best to start with figuring out your eMac model and OS in order to answer the question. This article will help you determine your model:
How to locate the serial number and identify your model
And to get the version of Mac OS that's installed:
From the Apple Menu at the left end of your menu bar, select "About this Mac..."
In the resulting Window, you can see the Mac OS version just under the big "Mac OS X":
If the eMac is older and you have never upgraded the system software, it's possible that your OS version is too old to run the current iTunes. The current version requires OS 10.5 (Leopard)or higher, which is a pay-for system upgrade. -
Podcasts and movies are synced to my iphone but do not show up in menus
Since upgrading to 5.1.1, I've noticed that movies and podcasts sync to my iphone, but do not show up in the corresponding menus. I can search for the movies and podcasts and then play them, but when I navigate to the podcast page, it shows none on the iphone. Same with movies...only the TV episodes show up.
I have tried restoring to factory settings, and that temporarily fixed the problem, but subsequent syncs seem to have undone whatever was fixed.Since no one here can possibly know what you specifically mean by "tried everything that other people are saying", no one can determine what you did wrong. Also, you didn't say what computer OS you use.

How do I use icloud with one mac and two iphones
I have just got an iPhone 5.
My wife and I share a macbook pro
My wife has an iphone 4s and uses iCloud to sync photos etc.
I want to use iCloud too, so.....how do we use iCloud so:
- when we each take photos on our phones they sync to our mac
- our contacts sync (can we set preferences on our individual phones so we only get the contacts we want on our iPhones from a shared address book on the mac)
- we have individual calendars
Any advice much appreciated.
Thank you.If you want to share the same photo stream so both your photos sync to your mac via iCloud you'll have to share the same primary iCloud account. Set this up in Settings>iCloud on both phones using the same Apple ID, and in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac; then turn photo Stream to On. If you want to also using iCloud to sync with your shared Address Book on your Mac, but keep your contacts separate, you'll have to create two contact groups in Address Book on your Mac - one for each of you - and drag copies of the appropriate contacts into each group. Then turn iCloud syncing for Contacts to on on all your devices. To view just your own contacts you'll have to open the Contacts app on each of your phones, tap Groups, then check only your own contact group to view. When you add contacts on either phone, you'll have to add these contacts to the appropriate groups in Address Book on your Mac as you can't manage contact groups on your phone.
If you want to maintain your own calendars, the easiest thing to do is not to syncing your calendar with iCloud. If you did, your calendars would be merged in iCal on your Mac and the merged calendar would appear on both phones.
The important thing to know is that when you share an iCloud account any data you sync with the account will be merged and appear on all devices sharing the account. This will happen with your contacts too, but since you already have a shared Address Book on your Mac, it will stay up to date as you change/add/delete contacts on your phones. And by using contact groups you can filter your view to just your own contacts. -
Using TimeMachine with one Mac and two HDD
Hi
I was wondering if the following can be done with out loosing data and with out confusing TimeMachine:
Using one mac and with time machine going back and forth between 2 external HDD ?
in order to have 2 TimeMachine HDD (one at home and one on the move)
Did one of you did try this ?
If yes is it working fine ?
Thanks for sharing your feed back
RegardsHi, and welcome to the forums.
Yes, that works fine.
The first backup to each drive will, of course, be a full one.
Thereafter, each backup will be an "incremental" one, of all the changes that have been made to your system since the last backup +*to that drive.+*
Of course, if you create a file at home, run a backup, then change the file and run another backup, your "home" backup will have both versions of that file. If you then do a backup to the other drive, it will only have the new version.
The more changes you make between drive swaps, the longer the first backup after the swap will be, since there are more changes to "catch up" with. In some cases, the volume of changes may cause Time Machine to do a "deep traversal," with a longer than usual "Calculating Changes" phase, to figure out what's changed and needs to be backed up. -
Using iPod with both Mac and Windows
Is it possible to use the same iPod on both a Windows and Mac computer back and forth without losing all my songs and videos?
Right now I have Windows, but I'm getting a Mac and I want to be able to switch back and forth from computer to computer. Is this possible?
If not, how can I keep my songs and videos and put them on the new Mac? My CD burner is broke, so that's out of the question. If I had to choose, I'd want them to be on the Mac instead of the computer with Windows, but that's currently where my iTunes library is.You can't use it on both. iPods get formatted for one or the other and then keyed to a single computer.
You can, however, move all of your files from one computer to the other. The easiest way would be target disk mode, but requires that the Windows PC have a FireWire port (which is fairly uncommon for Wintel boxes). You could also use an ethernet network cable between the two or connect them to the same network. Then, open the Mac's System Preferences, go to the Sharing preferences, and enable Windows Sharing or Windows File Sharing. With windows sharing selected, read the message that appears at the bottom of the screen. Something like "Windows users can access your computer at \\192.168.1.100\user"
Then, go to the Windows machine, open My Network Places (should be on the desktop, but if not try My Computer). Look for the "Entire Network" and try to find your Mac. If you have trouble finding it, do a search. Set it to look for "Computers" with the name... and enter your computer's name EXACTLY as is appears at the top of the Mac's Sharing preferences pane (capitals, spaces, lower-case, etc.). You can also try a search for the "\\192.168.1.100\user" address.
Once you find your computer, make a shortcut in the My Network Places folder for future use. Double click the icon for your mac and enter your Mac OS X short name and password in the SMB access dialogue (your short name can be found in System Preferences > Accounts > you). You should now be connected to your home folder on the Mac. You can drag and drop any files from the windows PC to your home folder (or folders within it).

I've imported 3 cd's to my iTunes, but they continue to be "grey-ed out" with a dotted grey circle in front of them. The music will not sync to my iPhone. How do I get iTunes to recognize them so that they will sync?
Thanks Chris CA.
In the Gen 4 they offer "Settings" then "Reset Settings" Then it asks, "Do you want to reset your iPod?" I click on "reset" but then nothing resets. :-( This is what makes me think it might be locked or something.... -
1. Sometimes Firefox displays a message "Firefox is still running" but there is no evidence that this is true.
2. But, Firefox does not show up in "control-alternate-delete" to bring up Task Master in Windows 7.
3. There does not seem to be any means to stop Firefox and to re-start Firefox without a complete Re-start of the PC.
4. The mouse still works and the PC responds but there is no response from Firefox except the message "Firefox is still running..... etc.
5. How to stop Firefox, shutdown Firefox without a complete reboot/restart?Way too complicated to solve the problem of "firefox is already running ....etc." and there must be a more simple solution to this problem which occurs once in awhile.
It seems to me that Mozilla developers can find a better solution and one that allows control-alternate-delete to fix the problem.
Otherwise, it is just resort to the old reboot solution. -

What do I needto do to connect a tv as an external display for my mbp using a mini display port to hdmi cable. I have tried display without success. tv is receiving a signal as displays apples default wallpaper when connected but nothing from screen of mbp.
Soundls like it is working. Try dragging a window on the MBP to the edge of the screen and see if it appears on the TV.
There are two ways to set up the TV one is to mirror the MBP display and the other is to be an extension of the MBP's screen.
You change the settings in System Preference->Display -

I have had to add new library to my Gen 1 Apple TV, this is the same library that it was looking at before but now I am having to re sync all my music, photos and movies over (which will take a while 3700 + songs and 50 movies) but I will have apple TV back in devices
To add mew library to Apple TV (as if it was new) follow this
On your Apple TV go to settings, then computers, add library, you will then need to add the number that appears in itunes, I then had to add itunes library with a second number that appeared in iTunes
Hope this helps

Word wioth Friends keep freezing, so I delete and re-install. This last time time it didnt load, but apps show that it is installed. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox
