IDVD not finding itunes or iphoto content

In iDVD, in the media tab, iDVD only sees what is on the desktop drive and not what is on the external drive. I have all my itunes and iphoto content on an external drive. How do I fix this? I searched and searched and haven't found a solution. Thanks. BTW, I have a 24in intel mac running leopard and ilife 09.

Hi
Just wondering. How is Your external hard disk formatted ?
Select it (one click) then press [cmd+I] (apple key + I)

Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows error 2).
Many thanks. That issue will be causing the iTuneshelper error message too.
With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version). If the following link takes you to the WinRAR home page rather than the WinRAR downloads page, click the Downloads header in the box at the left of the WinRAR home page to see the trial version downloads:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Can not find iTunes radio on iphone 5

i have installed IOS 7 on my iphone 5, i can not find itunes radio in music.. i dont know what have i done wrong while installing.
my IOS version is 7.0(11A465)

Alot of people are having the same problem with the radio, its either a bug or just like the rumours state
(anything outside US will not have this feature)
Seems to be the same as the situation with the fly over maps when they were first released. Only the US phone were compatible.
I live in Australia and we have no iTunes radio.
But......
Im hoping the rumours arnt true

ITunes will not launch "Can not find "iTunes.exe"" error

iTunes is not launching on my computer. Initially it stated" "Can not find "iTunes.exe"" error. But now it doesn't do anything.
Thanks,

Tried opening Quicktime - same. Tried Quicktime settings from control panel - a Fatal error has occured.
that corresponds to a "standalone 1603" error message on earlier versions of the itunes and quicktime installers.
let's try this first.
here's what we'll try first.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
once we've got all the existing QuickTime scraped away, let's try a careful standalone QT 7.1.3 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1.3 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1.3 Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention itunes
if that install goes through okay, reboot the PC and try another itunes install. does that go through okay this time?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

How to sync iPhone with MBP connected via ethernet to PowerBook where iTunes and iPhoto content resides

I just got the iPhone 5, but I am still using a PowerBook G4 machine that will not sync with my new iPhone. I was wondering if I could
1) create a new user for myself on my brother's MBP
2) connect that MBP with my PowerBook via ethernet
3) have iTunes and iPhoto on my new MBP user to be mapped to my PowerBook iTunes and iPhoto Library folders respectively
4) sync the iPhone with my new user on my brother's MBP and acquire all of the content from the iTunes and iPhoto libraries that reside on my PowerBook
Will this work? Does anyone recommend a different solution to get the content from my PowerBook G4 1.33 to my new iPhone 5

Now I have made a search and you are right. A problem which seemed unique to me is, in fact, very common. It is unbelievable that on one hand the Apple programmers can create great software, but on the other hand they act like retards when they forget about some basic functionality. I really can't believe that I will lose my purchases simply because at Apple nobody thought that people do install a fresh system from time to time. What a shame.
But what about consolidation of accounts? I am being asked to provide account ID which I don't even remember anymore. It seemed natural for me that I download some applications and simply go on with life, just as in about any other website on the internet. But suddenly Apple says that I will not be able to save or transfer my application because I need some funky ID. Hello Apple... My application is already on my phone so I should be able to copy it where I want without some ID. That's really odd.
Anyway, I will try to search the forum and solve my problems. I simply didn't even think in my wildest dreams that Apple software could be sometimes so ********.

Spotlight do not find pictures in iphoto 11

I have notised that Spotlight does not find the pictures in iphoto 11. I'm running Lion 10.7.2. Solutions?

Well, perhaps Spotlight doesn't understand the iPhoto database with the tags and stuff (which it did in older versions). But it does understand the file package. It's just a package of files and folders after all.
If I create a new iPhoto library and import a couple of pictures, then in the Finder show the new iPhoto library package content and search for "jpg" and click on "new iPhoto Library" it returns a lot of hits, since it's indeed full of jpg files. The problem is that if I do the exact same thing with the old iPhoto library package - it returns zero hits.
Does it have to do with the iPhoto library moving from one disk to another, migrating? I don't know the answer, but it's really irritating. And I'm hoping someone knows the magic trick out there to fix it once and for all.

IPhone will not sync iTunes and iPhoto

Just bought an iPhone a couple weeks ago. No problems transferring (sync) iTunes and iPhoto (and everything else) on day 1. Now looking to sync a second time and no luck. When I connect iPhone to my MacBookPro, iTunes and iPhoto automatically open but no sync. And under File >> in iTunes, there is no option to sync iPhone. I have tried restarting computer, restarting iPhone, trying both ISB ports on the computer (the basic troubleshooting in the manual). Again, iTunes and iPhoto open automatically as if it wants to sync, but does not. Any suggestions ? Sorry if this is a common problem. I could not find it with a cursory search. Thanks.

Try downloading the current iTunes version and re-install it over the existing. No need to delete iTunes on your computer first.

File Explorer in Windows 8.1 does not find and show pdf content in Search?

Sounds like a question for Microsoft...

Screen Saver can not find iTunes 8.1.1 artwork

I recently upgraded my G5 to OS X 10.5.7 and iTunes 8.1.1 from 10.4.11 and iTunes 7.6.1. iTunes 8 has made two changes that disappoint me.
#1 is my screensaver can not find my iTunes artwork. My setup is a G4 with iTunes files on an external HD and a (networked) G5 that shares that external HD for iTunes. The G5 could find the iTunes artwork for the screensaver when running 10.4 and iTunes 7 but now with 10.5 and iTunes 8 the link to the artwork is lost. But the artwork IS there for coverflow, etc. in iTunes. Have I lost my favorite screensaver?
#2 is the removal of checkboxes in iTunes DJ. I USED those (to keep songs from re-appearing)!
Tracy

Hi Tracy
Have you managed to resolve this problem?
I'm having the exact same problem with the artwork screen saver.
I upgraded from 10.5.6 to 10.5.7 and at roughly the same time (same day) upgraded to iTunes 8.1.1. Shortly afterwards I noticed my screen saver no longer working and the error about "no artwork found" came up. In iTunes - all my artwork is still there for each song and album etc. Front Row also displays the artwork properly.
I've tried deleting plist files, pref files and all that but nothing works.
It may seem trivial because it's only a screen saver but it's very annoying since it was the only screen saver I liked and used.
Any help is appreciated. Regards
Marcel.

Can not find itunes library on recent upgraded computer.

We recently had our computer upgraded. Downloaded itunes software. When opened itunes library, noticed mostly songs from windows came into library and with multipole repeats. Deleted them, hooked up IPOD nano and all my songs from it deleted. H..E..L..P.. NOw I can not find my library as it was before it go worked on.

If you do not have a backup of your iTunes library from your computer you pretty well are out of luck.

Apple TV does not find Itunes library (since Yosemite). Itunes finds apple tv without a problem.

Since Yosemite, my apple tv 3 (latest software) does not find my itunes library anymore (imac 27" late 2013). Vice versa, via Itunes (latest version) I can perfectly stream music and videos to my apple TV. So there is communication between the two devices, but for some reason Apple TV does not find my itunes library. Sometimes rebooting all my devices works.
any solutions for this problem?

I solved this problem in this way:
go to Preferences -- Sharing
change the name of your mac (delete ALL the existing name and choose another one)
close Preferences
restart Mac
open itunes
now check if everything works on apple tv.

Trying to organise video clips but can not find them in iphoto under Movies but do appear idvd under movies.How can I get into iphoto movies section to edit and organise the video clips

In iphoto '08 in my Library section "Movies" doesn't show as a seperate folder so to find my video c;ips I have to go through 13,000 photos and yet in iDVD they do show up in the media area. How can I edit them and put them into specific files?

Tell me if a video has been recorded on its side! or even upside down, can you turn it round the proper way?
If you have Quicktime Pro you can rotate the video. There's a plugin for iMoive that can rotate clips. Go to MacUpdate.com and do a search for "rotate video" and you'll find several apps that can do the job and the plugin: MacUpdate: Search for '+rotate +video'

Remote and AppleTV will not Find Itunes?

I have tried to connect to my iTunes with AppleTV and Remote but it will not show up as an option. My iPhone "sees" the AppleTV and communicates perfectly but not iTunes...even after doing every single step possible. I uninstalled the Remote App and reinstalled it, Turned off home sharing and turned it back on, I even formatted my HD and reinstalled everything but no go. I have Home Sharing on the proper way. My wireless router is working perfectly as well. I disabled All Antivirus and Fierwalls. Still no go.
As a test, I installed iTunes on my laptop at my house and Remote found it right away. So, I thought it had to be a glitch in my PC and that's why I formatted it but it doesn't appear to be the case. There's got to be an answer out there. By the way, remote DID work on this PC in January. It just stopped working.
Does anybody have an answer to this? I am sure I am not the only one with this problem.
I look forward to any solution you might may have.
Thanks!

Folks, I figured it out. It was definitely the Wireless Router. After I disabled the IGMP setting in my Verizon FIOS router and then rebooted my AppleTV and Remote..it worked perfectly.
So, after wasting hours formatting and reinstalling everything, it ended up being a very easy fix...less than 5 minutes. It's pretty simple to find in the router settings too. I hope this helps others.

Using New Spotlight in Lion (What does it find/not find?esp iPhoto

I was reading a Lion review and trying the different new things in Lion it was talking about...one of which was the extensive search capability of Spotlight in the upper right hand corner. But Im not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if it's not working properly. It says it searches for images...but when I type in a word that for example is either a keyword, description or even title name for a photo in iphoto, it does NOT come up in the search. For example, I tried on a new pair of eyeglasses named Zagg...Ive got photos that have that in the actual name, others in the description or keyword...I type in Zagg in Spotlight and no photos come up. If it's searching for images, shouldn't it search for images in iphoto? Seems weird. If I type in a photo name from my old PC files (ie 000_124), that comes up in Spotlight...but apparently not Keywords or words in Descriptions? This would seem like a glitch as I thought the whole reason for putting info on your photos - whether keywords, descriptions, actual names of files was so you could find them.
On the other hand, I find that it found photos that I didn't even have in iphoto or knew were on my system. I typed in a person's last name and all of the sudden photos they might have sent me years ago via gmail (that were not labeled with their name at all) came up. At first, I couldnt figure out where they were coming from as I didn't even recognize them but then I used the "SHOW ALL IN FINDER" button, and figured out that these were photos in a gmail and I guess because I imported gmail into imail, they came up...but it was wierd because I searched for the person's last name (which is part of their email address) and these photos (which did not have their name in the file name) came up. And the photos are not in iphoto.
And yet photos that did have the name I was searching for in the file - either the name itself or a keyword - did not come up in Spotlight.
So when Spotlight says it searches for images, are those not iphoto Images? It is not making sense to me as there seems to be some incompatibility between the Spotlight search and just a plain iphoto search. Why wouldnt it all be integrated?

ok, I guess I was confused because it said it searched for images, and to me, images are photos.
If found iphoto photos based on number titles like 100_005 and such but not based on actual words that were used either as the file's name "John in Toronto" or descriptions, keywords etc
