IPhone library showing up but not playable on new computer
I recently got a new laptop and downloaded iTunes for it, transferred my library folder to the laptop and imported it into iTunes. But now when I plug in my iPhone, the list of songs and podcasts does show up, but it's all greyed out and I can't play it through iTunes. Any ideas?
Iphone will sync/manage/access from ONE computer at a time.
You cannot access itunes content on the iphone from another computer.
You will need to sync to your new computer. This will erase all itunes content from the iphone and replace with music from your computer. As you have moved your music over, you should lose nothing.

This is really frustrating -
Over the last year I have been uploading all of my photos and occasional iPhone video to Aperture 3 (latest version all patches in place). Aperture would recognize the video, create a thumbnale and otherwise treat it nicely.
Now, since upgrading to Lion I find that though I can "see" the old videos in their folders or projects and the associated Thunbnale, I can't play them - I either get the spinning color wheel and then nothing or Aperture will crash and report an error relating to Quicktime (sorry don't have an error code at the moment).
If I try and export a video I can - but what I get also can't be played by Quicktime - just a black screen. When I hit Play - the scroll bar moves, but there is no sound or video.
From Final Cut Pro X, I can imoprt this exported video file and see that it appears complete - but FCPX uses it's own playback elements.
If I shoot a new video on my iPhone, I find that I can see the thumbnale in the import option of Aperture when looking at the phone, but once imported I get a Popup telling me that it is an "Unsupported Video Format" - "Do you want to open this video clip with QuickTIme Player?" If I hit Open then the clip does play, but the thumbnale remains a black square with the warning Exclamation Point.
I have also had some issues with Lion Mail crashing when trying to play a video made on an iPhone and sent to me via email. Seems more likley to be a Lion / Quicktime issue then an Aperture and Mail issue - but who knows.
I spent 2.5 hours of quality time with the Genius bar this morning. We reinstalled Lion and after that the suggestion was to trash and re-install Aperture, but that would require my disc and of coruse a trip home. Mail doesn't seem to still have the issues with iPhone movies that it had - but Aperture is still not happy.
Did as instructed and dragged Aperture 3 to the trash, did the empty trash option, restarted and reinstalled. Then did a software update to catch the new update for Aperture and it found that. Interestingly when I did start it up after that it DID NOT ask me for my key - so clearly some elements were left over.
Now upon retstarting Aperture 3 once again I find that I can still see my old movies (their thumbnails show up) but I still can't play them. The new test movie is there but still generates the popup regarding it being an Unsupported Video Format.
And it's not just my iPhone. Video sent via email from another iPhone can play as an attachment, or when dragged and dropped to the desktop, but once imported into Aperture is once again proclaimed to be an Unsupported Video Format.
Hoping someone out there knows how to resolve this....For some reason it just started to work now. Have no idea what didn't work before.

Apple TV is not showing the authorized computer on my network. All three other Apple devises are sharing. Apple TV is getting my pictures, but not my music or iTunes Match.
It is not properly connected to the network.
Make sure location is set correctly
DNS should be on auto (settings - general - network)
Try ethernet
Signal strength on device won't account for issues, you would need a network report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar. This will show accurate signal strength along with noise and nearby networks -
Ipod Shuffle 2nd Gen Recognized but not Charging on new Computer
I have a 2nd generation ipod shuffle that has worked on previous computers. I have recently switched computers, uploaded itunes, transferred music, and imported playlists. I am able to connect my ipod shuffle to my new computer, recognize it, and add/switch/sync music. BUT after syncing, it doesn't charge anymore: the light goes from blinking orange to no light at all. When I plug it back into my old computer (or another computer), it charges (and works in general) without a problem.
I've tried resetting my ipod, using a different USB port, restarting my computer, uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, and even restoring my ipod completely. It still doesn't charge... any ideas???Since it works on your old computer, the shuffle seems to be fine. If you are using the same USB docking cable with both computer, the docking cable seems to be fine.
The shuffle seems to connect and sync properly on your new computer, so I don't think it's a software-related problem with your computer.
The only remaining cause is the USB port on the computer. It's possible it is not providing sufficient power to charge the shuffle's battery. If this is a laptop, maybe there is a power-saving feature that reduces power to a USB port when a connected storage device is no longer mounted. A shuffle is a USB storage device, and iTunes unmounts the shuffle's disk after it completes syncing. I would look for a setting in your computer's Control Panels that may be related to such a feature.
Also, you can try setting the shuffle to Enable disk use. This setting (a checkbox) is on the shuffle's Settings screen in iTunes. When disk use is enabled, iTunes keeps the shuffle's disk mounted (the shuffle's light continues to blink orange after syncing is done), to give Windows access to the shuffle's disk. If my "theory" is connect, the USB port should then continue to have full power and the shuffle's battery should charge.
NOTE: With disk use enabled, you need to eject the shuffle in iTunes before physically disconnecting. After ejecting (clicking the small button to the right of the shuffle's name), you should see the shuffle's light become a solid color (green if fully charged), which means you can safely disconnect it. -

I had iCloud photo libraey turned on on both my iPad and iPhone. As said by the feature, photos and videos were being transferred automatically from each device to each other. I have a 64GB iPad Air 2 and my iPhone 5 only has 16GB of storage so I am lacking much more space on my iPhone than my iPad. I was wondering if there was a way to transfer photos only from my iPhone to my iPad but not from my iPad to my iPhone. Would turning off iCloud Photo library on my iPad do the trick? Thanks hope someone can help me out.
iCloud Photo Library keeps all of your photos in the Cloud which you then can selectively download. So, unless you download the iPad photos, they are not going to be taking up any room on your iPhone:
How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
You can turn on Optimize [device] Storage from Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.
Here is a link to the FAQs page for iCloud Photo Library:

one fine day yesterday, my i phone just hangup lost all contact detail. The screen only show a picture depicting cable connection to iTune. I have tried to restore iphone to factory setting but not working . May i know how to proceed to recover lost contacts.
I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

Finder shows some but not all files in a folder
In some circumstances, Finder only shows some (but not all) of the files in a folder. Why?
I notice this with Excel autosave files in the Office 2011 Autorecovery folder (Macintosh HD ▸ Users ▸ Conor ▸ Library ▸ Application Support ▸ Microsoft ▸ Office ▸ Office 2011 AutoRecovery). In my case, Finder shows 34 files but "ls" in a Terminal window reports 40 files. The missing files do not start with a period (.) and have the same permissions as other files that show in Finder (-rw-r--r--@ 1 <myname> staff). Here's the last four lines of "ls -al" - the first two appear in Finder, but not the last two:
-rw-r--r--@ 1 myname staff 55296 8 Oct 2013 Word Work File D_1239425731.tmp
-rw-r--r--@ 1 myname staff 55296 8 Oct 2013 Word Work File D_1240072173.tmp
-rw-r--r--@ 1 myname staff 52796 13 Feb 11:08 safe1.xlk
-rw-r--r--@ 1 myname staff 95320 12 Mar 16:06 safe2.xlk
I have tried copying files from this folder to another folder, and/or changing their names. They still do not appear in Finder, nor are they visible in the File Open dialog of applications, even when the dialog is listing other files in that directory - but if I manually type the name into the File Open dialog, the app manages to find and open the file.
If I Spotlight-search for the file name, or search in Finder, without specifying that specific directory ("This Mac"), the file is not found, but if I direct the Finder search at that particular directory, then the search returns the relevant files.
So: why does Finder hide certain files when showing a folder, even though it can find and show those files if you specifically ask for them?
Now using OSX 10.10 (Yosemite), but I'm pretty sure I noticed this on OSX 10.8 as well.So simple - thanks. I'd not been aware of the hidden flag, and now I've found the -O option on ls to display it.
Follow-on question: I now see that you can change the system-wide defaults to display hidden files with this...
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean true ; killall Finder
...but is there a way to specify this on a per folder basis? I'm happy enough to hide hidden files in general, but it would be nice if I could set an attribute/flag/whatever on the Office AutoRecovery directory that told Finder "in this folder, always display hidden files". Can I do this? -
HT1386 iPhone Appears in Windows but not in iTunes
iPhone Appears in Windows but not in iTunes
If you are running Windows Vista or later, open up your Start Menu and search for "Services."
Click on the icon that looks like a smal gear.
Once you have that window open, Look for the service that says "Apple Mobile Device"
Once you click on it once, to your left of the window, click "Start this service"
After you have done that, with the same service still highlighted, Right click on it then click "Properties"
Once that menu is open, Find the drop down box and make sure the start up is set to "Automatic"
After these steps are completed, you should have no problem with your iPod Touch, or iPhone not showing up in the iTunes window.
With regards,
Jeremy. -

When I check for software updates only itunes and random other updates show up but not security updates or safari update. When i check installed updates I realized my last security update was 2011-004 and I still have safari 5.0.6. Can anyone help me?
Don't panic. OS X 10.5.8 is the most popular PowerPC OS out there. People run it everyday without security breaches, including myself. It isn't Windows!
If you're really that worried, I highly recommend Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition. Supports PowerPC & Intel and Mac OS X 10.4-10.7.

Here goes. My iPod touch has all my songs on it. I have changed computers several times and iTunes has a library of similar but not as many songs as iPod. When I plug iPod in ans go to sync it says that iTunes library will replace iPod songs. I don't want this to happen I want the I pod songs to sync with iTunes. What do I do?
That really does not work since music is not included in the backup. See:
iTunes: About iOS backups

My computer recognizes my old iPhone, iPad and iPod but NOT my new iPhone. What the heck???
My computer recognizes my old iPhone, iPad and iPod but NOT my new iPhone what the heck? It was fine last week, now nothing
When you plug in your phone go to the sidebar on the left, select the device, and select the menu you want to sync.
For example at the top there is summary, info, apps, movies, etc.
If you wanted to sync movies go under there and pick and chose the movies you want on the device.
Let's assume you are doing that and syncing is not going properly. Then first double check that there is a checkmark in the top left of that page that says sync movies
If there is uncheck and then hit apply. Then it will take all the movies off. Now re-check everything and hit apply. -
