It looks like you may have to reinstall itunes.
There are multiple things you should uninstall (and in a certain order) according to apple.
Also, even thought your music and itunes library information should not be affected in the uninstall, I would strongly recomend backing it up. Go to where you keep your music files and make sure you back up everything in the folders "itunes" and "itunes music".
The directions for the reinstall are here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 They include what to uninstall and in what order. This is for itunes 9 and earlier, but I think it is the same for itunes 10.

I have a 1st generaltion apple tv which was recently changed from HDMI to component cables to connect to TV; now it will not remember my server password or my apple ID information which has to be re-entered everytime I use apple tv; how can I fix this

Changing the video connection has nothing to do with the passwords.
Are you certain it is a 1st Gen ATV?

My iphone 4s will not play most of my songs. they appear grey in the list with a dotted circle in front of them. how do i fix this?

My Iphone 4s stopped playing a majority of my songs after i tried to sync a cd to my phone through itunes. The songs will open but will not play. They remain at zero. They appear to be grey on the list instead of the usual black font color and they have dotted grey circles in front of them when they are opened in my itunes account under the phone. In the phone's song list they are also grey, with red boxes within a circle behind their titles. In my general itunes music library the songs play perfectly fine. It is only under my phone that i am having issues. can anyone tell me why; or how to correct the problem?

Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

My PC will not recognize my ipod nano. I had to reformat my PC. I dont want to lose all my songs

Need help with my nano. My pc wont recognize it after a pc reformat. I don't want to lose all my songs.

Hello Jeanne
If you are having issues with your iPod not showing up on your computer then check out the article below. What you need to figure out is if it does not show up at all or if it is just iTunes.

My iPhone 4 will not play music. It shuffles through album artwork and a play symbol icon appears by my battery percentage icon. How do I fix this?

I have just had this problem recently and I thought it worked itself out but would only play one song this morning. All help is greatly appreciated, Thanks.

While the music app is on, press and hold the sleep/wake button until the red slide to power off things comes. Without sliding the bar, press and hold the home button until the app quits.
Also clear the music app from multitasking-bar too. You may then try playing music.

should I do a full reset of TM (per the instructions at the link below) prior to setting up the TC?
I'd start by just selecting the new destination. Do the "full reset" if you have trouble with that.
do I need to set up the network portion first and then turn on TM?
That might make things easier.
even though my mini was previously only connected wirelessly to the old router, I plan to connect via Ethernet to the TC (for one thing, to make the initial backup run faster). Do I just turn AirPort settings off on the mini, or does that need to be on in order to setup the TC?
To assure that your first backup is over Ethernet I'd turn off AirPort until it's done. Check the order in the Network panel of System Preferences. I'd move the Ethernet connection item to the top of the list.
In other words, does the initial setup of the TC from my mini happen wirelessly or over Ethernet?
Either way should work fine.
I currently have a networked printer conneceted to my old router, which I will connect via Ethernet to the TC. Can I assume that, once I have set up all of my family's PCs/Macs/iDevices on the newly-established TC network, that I will have to re-establish connection to the printer as well?
Not necessarily. I'd only do that if the printer isn't available after the switchover.
I would like to reformat the second external drive (the one previously being used for TM backups) for possible reuse with another computer. Can I simply reconnect this to my mini and reformat?
That's what I'd do.
is TM going to see it and try to back it up?
If you've already reconfigured Time Machine to use the Time Capsule drive, there shouldn't be a problem.

HT204053 i photo will not update it says it was either bought under another apple ID or cancelled but this is not the cas

i photo will not update it says it was either bought under another apple ID or cancelled but this is not the case, what do i do?

Which iPhoto version and MacOS X version did you update from? Did you previously have iPhoto 9.5.1 and Mavericks installed or earlier versions?
Did you use a different Apple ID when you set up the Mac? If iPhoto came preinstalled, it will be bound to the apple ID you first used, when you set up your Mac.

Just confirming, when you have the trouble, the wifi icon is grayed-out or has all bars showing? I believe you are saying that is is grayed-out - not connected to your wireless router.
I have a Mini that started to lose connection to the Internet after the 10.7.3 update but still showed the wireless as connected. If I pinged the wireless router, I would get a quarter of the packets failing to return. The router was a Netgear that supported 802.11N connections. As a test, I set it to 802.11G (54MBps) maximum and the Mini worked fine for a week - no dropouts. And for the other devices that did support 802.11N, while there was a noticeable delay with downloads and pages loading, they still worked.
As another test, I changed the Netgear router to a Billion 802.11N model and the Mini has not had a problems since. (It is still using 802.11g). So it could be your router that is causing trouble for your Mac.
Have a look at some of the More Like This postings in the right column. There has been a number of Mac owners experiencing wifi connection issues and some very good suggestions as to how to resolve their issue.

You only get one download.
Did you fail to save them to your computer and back them up.

I need to update my software but i dont want to lose all of my content. This is a new computer i am updating from and it doesnt have any of my content on it.

I went to the apple store and they told me that my version of Itunes on my Ipod touch is like 20 versions behind. My mom just bought a mac and I want to update my software but I dont want to lose all of my music,movies,shows, and pictures. I no longer have the computer that I used to put all of the content on my ipod so I am scared that if I do the update I will forever lose my content. Please tell me if I can update my software without it deleting my ipod. Thank you so much

- If you have a 1G ipod you can't update past 3.1.3. To identify yourd see:
Identifying iPod models
- Be aware that if you can/do update the iOS to the latest (4.2.1 for a 2G and 4.3.4 for a 3G) you may not be able to sync to the old computer since that computer will need the latest iTunes to see/sync with the update iPod. Yo need an Max with at least OSX 10.5.8.
You can transfer iTunes purchases from the iPod to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
You can use on of the third-party programs dicussed here to transfer other stuff:
new PC: Apple Support Communities
Unless you can move/copy the iPod backup file to the new computer you will loose all app data and restore from that backup. That file is located:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

Every single time I power up photoshop CC get an error. says " the monitor profile "acer S201HL" appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software. How do I fix this?

Every single time I power up photoshop CC get an error. says " the monitor profile "acer S201HL" appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software. How do I fix this?

Your factory-supplied monitor profile, associated with your monitor by the operating system, is bad. It's more common than you'd think.
To avert the error:
Open the Color Management panel of your Windows operating system. In the Devices tab, if it is not already listed [ Add... ] the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile and [ Set as default Profile ].
After doing the above, log out of Windows and back in again, just to ensure everything's updated.
Note that the above assumes your monitor is more or less displaying color in the sRGB color space (sRGB is short for sRGB IEC61966-2.1). For many monitors this isn't a terribly wrong assumption.
If you want to ensure you have the most accurate color, consider buying a calibration and profiling device, which (with its associated software) can set your calibration and generate custom color profiles by doing actual measurements from your monitor. You'll want to take some time to get your mind around how color-management works, and that is not a trivial task. It's certainly well beyond what can be taught in a forum post by post.
Good luck.
