    This indicates corrupt files.
    A restore should resolve.

  • Every so often when using safari my bookmarks disappear and then later the list shows up again.  Does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it?

    Every once in awhile while using safari my bookmarks list disappears.  Later it just shows up again.  Anyone know what causes this and how to fix it?

    I have had exactly the same problem now with two mini iPads.  Everything was tried; 1) restarting; 2) restoring factory settings etc.  NONE worked.  Eventually Apple agreed to replace it.  I have had the replacement now for two to three months and exactly the same thing is happening again. So off to Apple tomorrow to get another replacement.
    I am quite a heavy user of the iPad so wonder if this is something to do with the fault.
    It is so frustrating as sometimes reset works, and then after 10/20/30/40 minutes (you pick) it goes unstable again.

  • HT5625 I'm trying to create a new Apple ID but when I was putting on my information, there's a box asking for an ITunes gift code. What's this and how can I get one?

    You're not obligated to insert a gift code. But you can purchase gift codes on the Apple online store (gift cards or certificates) or Apple Retail store
    Gift codes are pre paid cards so you can use credit on the iTunes Store to purchase content

  • Screen Message"File iTines Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes" What is this and how can it be fixed?

    Screen Message on P.C. "File "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.
    What is this and how can it be fixed, please?

    Problem solved by doing the following:
    Open PC/Mac and search for iTunes Library.
    From the list, select the most recent version of iTunes Library. Save this to a folder.
    Delete iTunes from your computer.
    Install latest version of iTunes.
    When I opened the new version of iTunes, everything was there as before.
    I didn't need to import the saved version of iTunes Library. Maybe this happens automatically?????

    Yes, but isn't that what you wanted?
    I just want to lose enough space to make a copy of the old ipad and restore it on the new one basicly.
    Not to lose everything that is on my old ipad, like all the apps that are on there already.
    So i can just use my new one and do all manually?
    What does that mean?
    I meant, if I do lose everything, then i'll have to use my new ipad without any back up restored from the old ipad correct?

  • When I plug in my iPod nano 4th gen to iTunes, a lot of space is taken up by 'other'. What is this and how can I get rid of it to free up some space?

    When I plug in my iPod nano 4th gen to iTunes and click on my iPod, I can see a graph showing how much space is available on my iPod and what it is being taken up by.  A lot of space is taken up by 'other'. What is this? I have a big iTunes library, with about 2000 songs, so I don't want all this space taken up by something I don't know what it is. How can I get rid of it?

    OmniDiskSweeper is a good program to see what's taking up space: http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnidisksweeper/

  • Capacity Graph Show 16gig of Others, What is that and How to clean it?

    Hello iPod Touch users,
    Since firmware up-date v2.1 iTunes show you in the Capacity Graph of your ipodTouch
    and beside how much capacity in meg or gig or quantity of files it also show you a orange line name OTHERS...
    1. What files are included in it?
    2. When or how it's suppose to be clean ? (Automatic = when?)
    3. My iPod touch is 32 gig and I have presently over 17 gig in the others (scrap)
    and I will like to re-gain that space, does any one know How?
    4. I think that every time I remove an application the files are not remove but files get a file rename and end up in the others. I'm a big user of applications, so far I'm very close to 1000 appl. So I install and remove a lot.
    Thank
    Please help me

    iTunes did itself some restore before firmware 2.1. I don't really trust iTunes backup. Like mention before v2.1, I had few crashs were iTunes restore did a fantastic job to restore my baby to fresh nackit ipodtouch of 32gig empty, all my stuff got flush. And by the way I don't carry ALL my 1000 apps with me, because the iPodtouch limit to 128 icons to be display. So what is over the 129th app you won't see it and no access to it.

  • TS1717 when trying to listen to songs in the itunes store my system keeps rebuffering, what is this and how can i stop this

    When trying to listen or buy music from the itunes stores my system keeps rebuffering so this enables me to even download music because it keeps shutting off and coming back off this is a problem and would like to know how to fix it?

    You answered your own question.

  • Missing songs: half of the songs in my library have suddenly become unplayable because iTunes "cannot locate original file" whats caused this and how do i fix it?

    Its really irritating having all my songs there one day and having half of them go missing the next and i haven't done anything to cause the files to be lost, on top of that it's completely randomised in what songs have gone missing as it is not whole albums, individual songs from different albums are going missing and it's telling me to find the files, which i have no idea where to look or what to do, it has rendered iTunes completely useless for me. Does anyone else have this problem? How did you fix it?

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • This shows up on blogs only: Script: chrome://fctoolbara6c52477e73d46af8371b86ff0573072/content/fctoolbar.js:1 and it only shows up in firefox not in IE . What is this and how can I stop it?

    This error (unresponsive script) only shows up on blogs and only in firefox. I can visit the same blogs in IE and the script does not pop up. I have to click it several times to make the box go away. The example URL below is just one of the blogs that it is doing it at. It is happening at almost every blog I visit.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall, anti-virus software) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
