I think I found out what the iTunes + iPod update problem is

All,
I spent some more time trying to figure out what exactly this iPod update/iTunes problem is and I think I discovered something interesting.
I can manually sync my MP3's but not my AAC files. When I sync MP3's - iTunes and the iPod are fine. However, as soon as I attempt to sync even one Protected AAC file, iTunes bombs.
I'd be interested in seeing if others try this and get the same results. If this is the core problem, syncing protected or AAC files, then we may be able figure out the exact component that has botched everything up here.
Chris

RE: manual sync - I mean manual copying through iTunes. That is - not selecting to update the songs automatically. I drag them from my library to the iPod within iTunes so I have control what goes there.
Bummer - I thought I was on to something. All I can say is that I can sync anything but the Protected AAC's. When I let it automatically sync my iPod, iTunes bombed. When I selected manual syncing and moved a playlist, it bombed after a few songs. I tried to look into why it would stop on certain songs, and noticed that it was bombing on the protected AAC's. So, I copied over 1000 MP3's including songs and podcasts, and they copied successfully. I selected one AAC and immediately it bombed.
Maybe our problems are not the same?

HT204088 We entered an app store gift card # onto our ipod. How do I know if the purchases are getting charged to the gift card vs. my credit card? Also how do I found out what the balance left on the gift card is?

How do I know if the app purchases are being taken from the app gift card vs. my credit card?
And how can I see the balance remaining on the gift card?

If the card has been redeemed then its remaining amount should be on your account, the card itself is now effectively zero. My account's balance shows at the top left of the store's page on my computer's iTunes, and by logging in to view my account via the Store > View Account menu option. On my devices it shows at the bottom of, for example, the Featured tab in the App Store app under my account id (or you can view your account via Settings > iTunes & App Stores and it should show on the screen that you are taken to).
As long as you are buying content for yourself then purchases should be deducted from your balance - if you are gifting content then that can only be done from a credit card.

HT6195 Where can I find out what the size of update files are, before I download them?

My provider charges based on data usage (which is very costly here!), so I need to be able to locate file sizes prior to downloading them in order to stay within my budget. The last (single file) update cost me $54.00, so yes, it matters!

only option is to use a download manage and stop the download if the size is unwanted

How can I tell what the iTunes build is before I download?

I am having difficulty finding out what the iTunes build is for the current download from the Apple site. I am running iTunes 7.6 (29); I assume the "29" is the build for my installed version. I also assume that Software Update will ignore build changes unless the version changes.
I do not want to download and install the current iTunes build unless it is different from my currently installled app. How can you tell what the specific version and build are from the Apple download site?
Thanks!

I am running iTunes on Leopard.

My ipod was stolen, can I find out what the serial number of it is, based on looking at a connection history in my itunes? How would I do this? I didn't register it.

Thanks

Yes.
Open iTunes on the computer you used to sync the iPod and select Preferences… from the iTunes menu.
Select the Devices pane. Position the cursor over any of its backups. The iPod's serial number will appear in a popup window.

Thank you for clarify I'm supposed to read the ENTIRE article. I thought I was just supposed to read the title and magically everything will fix itself. I appreciate you taking the time to help me however I do not appreciate the caps and the way you have addressed the situation. If you are not going to kindly help people/make suggestions just don't try! And for the record my conclusions are not illogical, the iOS7 thing is on the website in small font (which I got by reading the ENTIRE thing) and you should really find a new hobby because your socialization skills need some help! That goes for you too Chris. Not everyone is a tech nerd

My imessage isn`t working properly from my iphone. what could be the problem? how can I found out? the internet is working and in ipad i can send message.

I have no idea what the "freezer fix" is, nor why anyone would think temporary exposure to cold will somehow fix a hardware issue with a 100% solid state device. Also, actually freezing your iPhone may very well itself cause damage.
If you dropped it and wifi immediately failed to work, the odds are you inflicted physical damage to it - perhaps the antennae connection internally. You could try a simple reset and see if that helps, but if not, you need to take it into Apple for an evaluation and diagnosis.
If it has internal damage, since you dropped it, your warranty no longer applies. Apple does not repair iOS devices, the merely swap them for factory refurbished units (and send your damaged one back to the manufacturer in China for refurbishment or recycling). You would ahve to pay the out of warranty replacement fee (look on your country's Apple web site, under support for the iPhone for fees).

Localconfig is not found out in the new grid Oracle_HOME

Hi There,
Ifollowed the metalink Note ID 736121.1 to upgrad ASM for Non-RAC from 10gr2 to 11gr2. The 11gr2 Grid installation is successful, which is on a different directory from the current ASM directory. What I did for insallation is software only installation. However, when I'm doing step 4 in the Note, localconfig is not found out in the now Grid home directory(/ora/fs0000/app/grid/11.2.0/bin). even no DBUA is found out either. I'm unable to upgrade ASM for non-RAC from 10r2 to 11gr2.
With the successful installation of 11rr2 grid, the CSS is running in 11gr2, but No DBUA is found out in the new Grid Oracle_HOME directory.

Here are the steps in Note 736121.1:
1) Install the new 11g ASM Oracle Home (on a different directory) as described in the Installation Guide associated with your specific platform :

==)> Installation Guide for <your platform/Os>
2) Shutdown all the database instances that are using ASM as storage option.
3) Shutdown the ASM instance.
4) Reconfigure the CSS service:
Connect as root OS user and execute:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/localconfig reset
Where: $ORACLE_HOME is the new 11g ASM Oracle Home
5) Startup the ASM instance (connected as Oracle OS user) as usual (using the 10g Oracle Home).
6) From another graphical session, set the environment variables (ORACLE_HOME, PATH, etc.) pointing to your new 11 ASM Oracle Home.
7) Then execute the DBUA from the new ASM 11gOracle_Home/bin/dbua:
DBUA will show 2 options:
=)> upgrade ASM instance.
=)> upgrade the database
8) Select [upgrade ASM instance] option. The DBUA will upgrade your ASM instance to release 11g automatically.
9) Finally, please startup the databases that are using ASM as storage option.
Does anyone has experience upgrading 10g ASM for Non-RAC to 11gR2?
Thanks in advance.

Lumia 920: Still trying to figure out what the pro...

Aside from being very upset about Nokia's not allowing updates for the unbranded 920s, I'm still trying to figure out what the problem is with my camera...
I had nearly a perfect working phone one and a half week ago. Even though the battery didn't last well and heated up somehow and there are gliches with some apps, the phone and its original apps worked without problem. Once the battery died in the middle of the night but I thought that it was because I didn't plug the charger well enough, it's a little loose anyway. I read about the freezes and restarts in different forums and was wondering what people were talking about, since I didn't have any such kind of problems. I felt myself being lucky.
Then I got some app updates (Nokia drive+ and a few others), and ever since then my camera hasn't worked properly. When I open the camera app or click the camera button nine out of ten times it just goes back to the home screen or else it freeze the phone. I have tried soft resets and restarts but they mostly don't work, or they might work long enough to take a couple of photos and then stop working, or otherwise it freeze the phone and need to soft reset it. There is no pattens as to when it works and when it doesn't. I have also tried to uninstall some apps but it seemed to have no effect on the condition of the phone. Every app that utilizes the camera won't work ( camera won't work but other functions work), flashlight app won't work.
Today I decided to hard reset the phone. It's surprisingly easy procedure that took less than 10 min. I did my first hard reset and chose to use my phone's backup files from Skydrive and it went fine, except it didn't do anything to the camera, i.e. it didn't work. My second hard reset I chose to "start from clean table" (or something of such) without any apps installed, and also disabled the automatic update but it didn't do anything either, no working camera. I did the same procedure once more just in case I did something wrong, but it didn't work. The fourth hard reset I restored from Skydrive to have (mostly) everything in order. No working camera either but almost everything else works now.
It puzzles me. I'd though that if the reason of camera not working is some app updates then start from the clean table would have resloved it. Even after hard reset using camera at the very first possible chance didn't succeed: it worked for a very short moment before it froze the phone, just like before resetting. If I can keep myself from touching the camera the phone itself works (aside from maybe once or twice restartd itself, very rarely anyway). Now I have a phone with a camera I can't use and I don't have a clue what the problem is. I don't think that there are hardware problems because the camera *worked*, and I don't believe that software updates can break it hardware-wise. I have thought of changing it but who can promise that I'll get a phone that works better. Probably I should wait for Microsoft's/Nokia's updates, it just feels like they never come...

hi mate,
Sorry to hear you are having such a rough time with your 920. In this case, it might be best to take your phone back to your point of purchase and ask for a replacement, and if they are being less than helpful, to take it to your local Nokia Care point instead: http://nokia.com/support
I can certainly empathise with you, as a lot of the issues you describe are apparently fixed by the Portico update by Microsoft that was released yesterday to AT&T and Rogers devices but not the rest of the Lumia Windows Phone 8 range unfortunately. Bit of a wait, but hopefully not too long until the update hits.

I got this flashing question mark, i did some research into this and found out that the hard drive is the cause

i recently found my ibook and decided to see if it would still turn on. it did but i got this flashing question mark, i did some research into this and found out that the hard drive is the cause. so i opened it up replaced the hard drive and closed it up, booted from the disc and crossed my fingers but it did not pick up the hard drive. i thought it might not have been installed properly, so i opened it up to check the connections to make shure they were secure and closed it back up but now it wont even boot from the disc. so dose anyone know whats wrong with it because i really don't just want throw it away if its a simple fix. please if anyone know i would greatly appreciate it.

There often were more than one build of Apple computer per model number designation...
In the instance of iBook (white dualUSB) there appear to be two with number A-1007.
And both of these were 14-inch display models.
•iBook G3/800 14-Inch (32 VRAM - Tr) 800 MHz PowerPC 750fx (G3)
•iBook G3/900 14-Inch (Early 2003 - Op) 900 MHz PowerPC 750fx (G3)
•Apple iBook Specs (All iBook Technical Specs) for entire series - everymac:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
There are a few fairly good repair guides online, some on http://iFixit.com site.
Here's the link to the early iBook G3 series, includes color + white dualUSB.
If your iBook is a 14-inch G3 white dualUSB model that one is there, too:
•iBook G3 Repair guides - iFixit:
https://www.ifixit.com/Device/iBook_G3
Either of these may be able to run a system no later than OS X Tiger 10.4.11.
So a system install disc set could be used to troubleshoot, install, restore &
prepare a replacement hard drive for a new system.
Not certain what the issues are behind your situation, there may be more than
meets the eye. Some models of iBook were more prone to hardware problems
and as they age, fewer opportunities to affordably repair them exist.
Good luck in resolving the iBook G3 issues...!

After installing an SSD into my optical bay, I've found out I need EFI Firmware Update 2.2. I can only find 2.3 which is not supported on my Mac. What can I do?

After installing an SSD into my optical bay, I've found out I need EFI Firmware Update 2.2. I can only find 2.3 which is not supported on my Mac. What can I do?

You do not want EFI 2.2, it bricked many 2011 MacBook Pro machines.
EFI 2.3 is the fix. Software Update should install it if you need it, but it goes to the boot drive as that's where the hidden EFI resides.
Check out this link of machines and their EFI versions
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237
Also if your SSD should be in the hard drive bay as it makes a better boot/applicaitions drive, not a good storage drive as it wears out with repeated use and is not "scrubbable" like a regular hard drive
The hard drive should be in the optical bay and used as a storage drive, you have things all messed up inside your machine, Apple doesn't support or expect the optical drive to be used as such to begin with, then as a boot drive is just asking for trouble. So use the optical bay as storage and not as a boot bay.
Also you can't install OS X or Windows or use a Firmware restore disk because it only works from a internal optical drive, which you have removed.
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT2213
You need to learn all about cloning etc., as you have no other means to boot the machine.

How do i find out what the IEMI number is without having the phone or package?

how do i find out what the IEMI number is without having the phone or package?

If you ever backed your iPhone up to your computer, launch iTunes, go to the Preferences, select Devices, and hover your cursor over the backup file for the iPhone. That should show you the IMEI number.
If not, and you don't have the phone nor the packaging, you'll need to call your cell carrier and see if perhaps they can tell you.
Regards.

Found out what causes: "Netflix is currently unavailable. Please try again later." on TV shows.

Hi Everyone,
I have found out what's causing TV shows to display "Netflix is currently unavailable. Please try again later.". At first like many others I thought this was an issue with only Mad Men (on of Netflix's most popular streaming TV shows) but then I saw other people are having problems. So I ran a test, I found a few random shows. Swtch at Birth and Spiderman, I watched the first episode for a few minutes and then hit menu a few times to get back the main Netflix menu in Apple TV. When I tried to go back to the shows I get the "Netflix is currently unavailable. Please try again later." message right away. I tried this with a few other random shows and the same thing happens.
Until this gets resolved if you're watching a TV show you really like just keep it opened and do not go back to the main Netflix menu. Hopefully this information helps.
-Syvil

No netflix no problem. Unplug all cords from your Apple tv and go get some popcorn. Come back and plug everything back in.

I think I found out what the iTunes + iPod update problem is
