Thanks to both of you. It seems that Kiltedtim hit the nail on the head.
Paul's advice is appreciated but not needed, as I never lock it with a passcode but thanks anyhow.

    The title of my initial post is a bit misleading. I already took a chance deleting one of the iPhones, hoping if I deleted the wrong one, I can still reauthorize it (all with the same Apple ID acct, so not subject to 90-day waiting period, right?) The iTunes database just updated itself, and it says I have 4 "devices" "in the Cloud", but 5 "computers" associated w my account. How can I find out what computers are associated? Isn't there a list I can see? I dont have a clue what computers they might be. If I use the  "Deauthorize All" option, is it a pain to add them all back in. I assume I would have to log in from each computer to reauthorize each one. Would I have to be running the newest OS or version of iTunes to reauthorize? I think I have a PowerBook G4 Titanium with an older OS and iTunes. I'd like to keep that authorized, if possible.

    Help with Adobe.premiere.elements12. Please
    It would appear under the organizer tab that the photos are organised in the lowest folder in the folder structure within Windows Explorer.  How can I use the Windows Explorer structure to organise the photos within Elements.

    In a situation such as yours, I tend to consolidate items into folders so I have folders of nice workable numbers of images, somewhere between 20 and 200 images. Now, whatever, once you've imported, do your moving within LR, not the OS! I will select all in a folder and drag into a folder a level or two or three above, and then delete the newly empty subfolders. I hope this helps a bit!
    Once you've reached just new Imports of camera output, you'll be flying along.

  • Photos taken from iPhone appears upside down in windows explorer

    Photos taken from my iPhone appears upside down in windows explorer....

    Hi The problem I think ou are experiencing is because of the way you turn the phone to take pics. With the phone vertical (home button at the bottom) the pics you take will appear the right way up in all applications, the problem will occur when you hold the phone horizontally. If you hold the phone with the home button to the right the pics you take will appear the right way up in all applications, if you hold the phone with the home button to the left the pics will appear the right way up in the camera roll and some other apps that understand the iphone camera rotation but in other apps (iphoto and windows explorer are two) these photos will appear upside down.
    Hope this helps

  • The new iTunes 12 does not have a rent tab. I've downloaded two movies which appear in the Movies folder on my Windows Explorer but not in the actual iTunes programme itself. Completely frustrating!

    The new iTunes 12 does not have a rent tab. I've downloaded two movies which appear in the Movies folder on my Windows Explorer but not in the actual iTunes programme itself. Completely frustrating! Where can I find these two movies to watch? It asked me once it was downloaded if I wanted to watch it but I wasn't ready to and now can't find where to play these again.

    When iTunes/iPod sync process failed due to timeout, the iPod, has only the initilaised  filesytem structure at the start of the Sync.
    The timeout failure could be due to
    Bad hardisk - do the iPod disk diagnostic, refer to this excellent post by tt2
    Slow USB port or resource - Dont use any USB hub, disconnect all other USB devices while syncing
    Timeout due to Antivirus or other plugins - disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or monitoribng software if you are syncing.
    Preferably stop doing other things while syncing this ancient device, which the latest iTunes designer, think will soon be extinct.
    Have a nice day!

  • Update Folder Name in Itunes after altering Folder Name in Windows Explorer

    I changed the names of Album folders using Windows Explorer. How can I make the new folder names appear in the Album list within Itunes?

    iTunes doesn't display the folder names, it displays imnformation in the library database which it takes from the tags. If you want to chamge what iTunes displays, use Get Info to edit the information.
    But if you change folder names in Windows explorer, iTunes will no longer be able to find the files as the path has changed and iTunes doesn't do folder watching.

  • Folder appears in Windows Explorer, but not in the Open File dialog

    Hello,
    I hope this is the right place to post this. If not, please let me know where is.
    A friend just showed me a weird problem he is having with his computer. He is using Windows 7 pro, and has a folder under My Documents, in which he keeps his work files. He emails these files using Gmail, which he accesses via Internet Explorer.
    All worked fine until a few days ago, when he noticed that when he clicked the link in Gmail to attach a file, his folder wasn't listed in the Open File dialog. He looked in Windows Explorer, and could see the folder OK. I tried opening Word and using the Open
    File dialog there, and the folder wasn't visible.
    If he clicks in the address bar, and adds the folder name to the path, it opens the folder, but shows it as empty. I actually has two subfolders. If he adds the name of a subfolder, then the Open File dialog shows the files in that folder.
    I checked the permissions on the folder, and couldn't see anything odd. What I don't understand is how the folder can be visible in Windows Explorer, and not in the Open File dialog.
    Anyone any ideas? Thanks

    I can confirm - I'm having the exact same problem.
    When I try to lookup or save a file from an IE file dialog some folders do not show up. I can type the folder name into the directory field and it then goes there, but this assumes you know the directory name and it's a PITB.
    Firefox can browse to the directory directly.
    It would be interesting if anyone else found a fix for this - I'll post here again if I find out more somewhere else, but there are not too many threads out there as far as I have found for now.
    Found a solution over at answers at Microsoft dot com. (can post links here yet - will update once I can)
    In short: There's a fast fix for this issue by resetting a hidden flag that IE sets for some folders. I believe this part of the "protected mode" feature, though I can't confirm and also have no idea how this would protect me from any intruders,
    if only (unimportant) subfolders are protected ...
    Anyway - if you know the name of the missing folder (e.g. from browsing the directories form windows explorer): in the parent directory that has the folder missing do a Search (in box at top right) for the missing
    folder name. In my case the hidden folder shows up in the search - now right click -> Properties -> clear hidden flag. Note: this "hidden" flag is independent of the flags set in windows explorer - that's why you have trouble going there with IE and not
    the file explorer from the desktop.

  • IOS 8.2 Error of the Day on iPhone 5 - Multiple Drives in Windows Explorer

    iOS 8.2 was recently installed on my Apple Certified iPhone 5. As is Apple's custom, a brand new problem has appeared with 8.2, which I've never seen in all the previous, inadequate versions of iOS 8.x running on my iPhone 5:  In Windows Explorer while viewing the phone's camera folder, multiple, unnamed, mysterious, unnecessary and confusing drives appear. In addition to the photos I've transferred off the phone. Who has a fix or workaround for this new problem? Thank you.
    Apple had graciously and completely ineffectively replaced my previous iPhone 5 which was in excellent condition, because it didn't want to own-up to the many problems iOS 8.x has caused with the iPhone 5, including mine. So Apple continues to ignore its customers and further alienates them to their own detriment.

    Thanks Ralph. For sure already tried this (and I'm sure bgl_iMac does also) but doesn't change. Seems this is a bug in iOS8 with Photos store with pre-applied filters.
    WHen asking a question in these forum it saves time and is more helpful if you describe those troubleshooting steps you have already taken. Since you didn't mention the reset in your original post I provided the first troubleshooting step that seemed appropriate.

  • IPhone not showing up in Windows Explorer

    Hi,
    My Environment is:
    iTunes v9.0.2.25
    iPhone 3G; OS v3.1.2
    Windows Vista
    When I connect my iPhone to my PC, I do not see the device under Windows Explorer nor in Device Manager. However, iTunes does pick up the iPhone and I can sync ok.
    I have tried the following -
    I have gone to Device Manager and uninstalled "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" from under "Universal Serial Bus Driver". I then disconnected the iPhone and reconnected, which then caused Windows to re-install the driver. However, it still does not appear under "Portal Devices" or "Imaging Devices" in Device Manager and it still does not appear under Windows Explorer.
    I have also tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling, still no luck.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks

    I have had exactly the same problem with both my desktop with Windows 7 and my laptop with Business Vista since the latest iTunes upgrade two weeks or so ago. I think it must be an Apple error and I am not very willing to fiddle with my machine to correct it. I think Apple should tell what is going on and give us a fix. My iTunes is 9.1.0.79 and iPhone is 3.1.3
    An all my photos are stick in the phone, which is a nuisance as I use it for work and I am having to email them all to myself.

  • New folder created in Windows explorer not visible in Bridge.

    If I create a new folder in My Pictures
    folder using Windows Explorer, it doesn't show up in Bridge
    . I do it that way because selecting
    Get Photos from Camera doesn't allow me to select only the photos I want from the card. Why does Bridge not show all folders in My Pictures. I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. This message is formatting rather strangely.
    Thank you

    Libraries rely on a good bit of "magic" that has been added to Explorer.
    My advice:  Avoid them like the plague.  They do nothing you can't do by organizing your folders yourself, but they cause a host of problems.  I've disabled them in my system and in a year I haven't missed them one bit.  I'm all the happier for it.
    Windows 7 is a great system, but one of its weak points is [some parts of] Windows Explorer.  I think the same people programmed Explorer as made those awful commercials.

  • Outlook 2010 - Data File Properties/Folder Size verses Windows Explorer pst file size

    I am running Outlook 2010 32bit Version 14.0.6129.5000 on a Windows PC running Windows 7 Professional.  All updates from MS are up to date.
    I have several pst files I open with Outlook 2010. The size of the files displayed in Outlook are very different than what is displayed in Windows Explorer. 
    For example one of the pst file called "business.pst" when opened Outlook displays it under "Data File Properties -> Folder Size" that the Total Size (including subfolders) is 764,354 KB.  Windows Explorer says
    the file size is 1,190,417 KB.
    For some reason MS Outlook 2010 is displaying the wrong folder size.  Any ideas why this is the case?
    Thanks,
    Pat

    Outlook mailbox grows as you create and receive items. When you delete items, the size of the Outlook Data File (.pst and .ost) file might not decrease in proportion to the data that you deleted, untill it has been compacted.
    Normally, after you have deleted items from an Outlook Data File (.pst), the file will be automatically compacted in the background when you’re not using your computer and Outlook is running.
    For an exception, when the Outlook Data File (.pst) is somehow corrupt, the compaction might not finish correctly. So the size of the Outlook Data File (.pst) file might remain the same before compaction.
    To solve this, try run the
    scanpst to fix the Outlook Data File (.pst) file first, after that, we can
    manually start the compact command.
    When finished, compare the file size again.

  • Why has the DCIM Folder changed in Windows 7 after updating to iOS8?

    Hello all,
    I notice that after applying the last iOS update (8.1) there are many more folders (albums) when my iPhone 5 is connected to Windows 7.
    Previously there was only a 4 or 5 albums, meaning that it was easy to backup photos, as they would be saved in the order the appear on the Phone itself.  Now they appear at random in these folders (see attached image below) meaning I cannot easily save the last 30 or 40 photos to my PC (as I was doing before).
    Furthermore the folder/file attributes are all the same now, if anyone has any idea why this has occurred and how to resolve it I will be appreciative!

    Thanks again for your suggestions and links. I have gone through those, and am sorry to say I am not really any further forward. I have also gone systematically through the yahoo cookies, deleting one at a time. The only one that makes any difference is the T cookie, which must retain the login status as deleting it forces a login at the next access. After a login I get up to about a minute of Yahoo tech group activity before the "connection was reset" error pervades. All the Yahoo cookies are back in place when this happens. Using Private Browsing makes no difference to this behaviour.

  • I updated folder info via windows explorer....

    & now my songs/albums are missing from itunes. well, the names are there but the files aren't. because i moved/edited them. but only within my main library folder so they're there but itunes thinks they're in a different THERE.
    i had a bunch of albums showing as "compilations" that weren't (ie licensed to ill by the beastie boys) so i moved their folders from the "compilations" folder to their respective artist folders in windows explorer. i also made some changes to misspelled artist names on folders and stuff. now when i try to play those songs in iTunes they can't be located.
    conceptually i understand why, but i didn't move anything out of my main library destination folder, just within it so i don't see why i should have to re-import or -add all of the files....is there a way to refresh/redirect iTunes (without doubling all of my files) or do i have to go "locate" each song/file individually?
    Dear "compilations": I HATE YOU. :P love, mia.

    I hate that Compilations folder, too. So here's a tip - when you rip CDs to itunes in the future, BEFORE you hit the import button in itunes, do a +Get Info+ on all the tracks and make sure the "Part of a Compilation" is turned off in the Options tab.
    As to itunes losing the paths to the files, that is how it is designed. It only knows absolute path names to the files. By renaming or moving files using Windows Explorer, you confused itunes.
    You either have to
    1. re-add the files so itunes gets updated with the new path (and remember to delete the old entry with the bad path)
    2. Locate each song individually

  • Folder created in Windows Explorer not visible in Command Line as SYSTEM user

    Hello everyone,
    We have an odd behavior with an application installation, which I cannot make much sense of.
    We are trying to deploy an application on Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64 which tries to access
    C:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop during installation.
    This folder does not exist by default in a Windows 8.1 installation. Hence we am creating this folder using a VBS script manually. The VBS script also launches the application EXE. The setup itself runs under the SYSTEM account (in order to be deployed using
    SCCM).
    When the install script is launched, we can see in the Windows Explorer that the "Desktop" folder is created in the systemprofile directory. However, to the setup running under the system account, this folder is not visible.
    I have verified this by running a command line prompt under the SYSTEM user and navigating to
    C:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\. Using the "dir" command does not show you a "Desktop" folder under the EXACT same path.
    When we create the Desktop folder from this command prompt, the application installs just fine.
    What are we missing? Any inputs are highly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Might this need to quit the command prompt after the folder creation, then reload it to continue the installation of the software?
    Best regards

  • IPhone 5 not recognized in Windows Explorer, Advanced

    Hi all,
    My goal is to rescue the pictures that my phone is holding hostage.  iTunes recognizes the phone and syncs correctly, I can see the device in Media Monkey and write to the device properly with that app.  However, I cannot see the device in Windows Explorer on my Windows7 box.  I do see the Apple device service running and have restarted and I do see the USB device driver is installed and operating properly.  I have reinstalled iTunes.  I do know there "were" photos on the iPhone.....  The digitizer is not working and the screen does not work due to a drop in the pool so I can't verify or do anything on the phone.  The phone receives calls, texts and the alarms, calendar reminders all work and the music is in memory so I see no reason that the photos would not still be on the phone but I cant get windows to see it.....
    Any ideas??
    Thanks

    No, that should not happen. If all you did was a backup, or even a sync, the photos are not indexed as being imported. Many times I will decide not to import pictures on the phone if there are only a couple and I want them for some other reason. I will just close out the import utility and then sync the phone. I sync my phone daily, and if those pictures are still on the phone, then it will still start the import utility again the next time I connect the phone.
    However, as a after thought, why not just try a screen shot, the content doesn't matter, then connect the phone and see if that will get it recognized.
