Instructions on the Apple site to do this but it didn't work. How do I revert back to the original set up? All files still on local hard disk

I moved the itunes folder to an external hard drive but it didn't work, so I want to revert back to original set up. All the files are still on the local hard disk. I have tried to reverse the steps I used previously but when I try to play a track it says original file could not be found. If I navigate to the itunes music folder and select a track direct from there it opens itunes and plays so I know the music is still on the computer I just can't figure out how to get it to play direct from itunes.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

My netflix thumbnails won't load onto my daughters ipad anymore, but they are fine on all the other devices in the house (other iPads and Apple TV) have reloaded app but that didn't work.

My daughters ipad has suddenly at the beginning of the week stopped showing all the thumbnails on her Netflix App. It works on other iPads in the house and on the Apple TV. I have deleted and reinstalled it on her ipad but to no avail, I have also rebooted the main router but still nothing.

It almost looks like there is something on the phone that is corrupting it
I would back it up to iTunes
Restore to factory settings
See if the problem recurs before restoring the backup or any apps

I need to transfer all photos to an external hard drive. Many photos have been moved around or deleted from computer hard drive, but still have a very full hard disk. Are the photos with questionmarks in Lightroom still taking up hard disk space? I'm so l

Hi folks,
My hard disk is full. I already moved lots of photos from other folders on the hard disk to other external hard drives, so there are a lot of question marks in Lightroom. So, are those photos still taking up room on the computer hard disk? I want to move everything I have in Lightroom off of the computer to another external hard drive, in hopes that will free up space. I watched a tutorial, and read some things about it, but I need simple instructions please.

I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots. Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
See Pondini's page for more explanation: What are Local Snapshots? http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.
The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library. Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

TS3694 if restoring my iphone to the original setting, will all the files like photos and videos be deleted?

if i restore my iphone to its original settings, will my files like photos and videos be deleted?

yes a backup is saving everything. backup will save everything on the phone at the moment of the backup.
that is if you want all your pics and anything else you have on it. if you don't want or need anything on it then you can restore it to factory and that will remove everything of yours off of it and make it a factory phone. default setup phone. Then if you want the info back if you did a backup which is explained by Raxmee209. then you can restore it to exactly how you had it the time you did the backup.

How can i fix my camera that keeps freezinf and turning black or purple? I have already tried reset multiple times and it didnt work.

Hello there mmon11,
If by reset you mean this process from iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting from here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Then alright thats one step down. I would recommend this article as well, specifically sections 1, 3, and 5 which will resolve it if the issue is due to software.
iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1
Here is section 1 to get you started.
Restart iPhone
To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.
Regards,
Sterling

I am trying to setup some online banking and they indicated that I should revert back to an older version of Firefox (v. 3.5). I am running 3.6.3. Two questions: 1. Do you think this would help? 2. How do I revert back to an older verson?

https://www.cardmemberservices.net/welcome.php

Are you sure about that URL? It's pretty strange for a bank to be using a 2010 copyright in the middle of 2011.
On the FirstNational site, they recommend the latest release of Firefox ([http://www.firstnational.com//001/html/en/personal/faqs/tran/system_technical_requirements.html]).
Anyway, due to changes made to your profile when upgrading to version 3.6, there is no quick and easy way to downgrade to 3.5.

I upgraded to the 4.3.5, and half my apps are not working. how do i get back to 4.3.3?

i upgraded to the 4.3.5, and half my apps are not working. how do i get back to 4.3.3? all my best and regular apps are not working and i need them! so how do i down grade

There is no legitimate (Apple supported) way to downgrad an iOS on a device. Have you tried downloading/installing a new (free) app. That works for many users with that problem.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

TS1717 Started a software update this morning which didn't work. Now Itunes will not open at all. I get the following message."The program can't state becasue MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."

Started a Itunes software update this morning which didn't work. Now Itunes will not open at all. I get the following message."The program can't state becasue MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."

There are a couple of options that I know of to fix the issue.
One is listed in this thread - https://discussions.apple.com/message/24606478#24606478 - and involves uninstalling iTunes and related components and then re-installing iTunes. You will need to read the instructions in the thread to see the correct uninstall order.
Second option is use System Restore to set your system back to a date prior to the iTunes update. I did this before finding the thread mentioned above.
Not sure exactly what the problem is but I know, after a search, that MSVCR80.dll was indeed already installed on my computer.

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Sorry but jailbreaking frequently has its problems. It voids the warranty and we can't help you in this Apple forum.
