Iphone lost tunes plus "error 50" with many but not all songes
My iPhone 3GS used to sync without difficulty to iTunes 9 running on XP
I have recently updated to iTunes 10.0.1.22 on the PC and to 4.1 (8B117) on the Iphone 3GS
When I try to sync the iPhone backs up successfully but I get numerous “error -50” when it tries to sync music. The song tracks themselves are not damaged in the iTunes library, they play via iTunes normally. Additionally, and alarmingly, repeated attempts to sync have wiped out most of the tunes on the iPhone, which have reduced from the 6207 there originally to 127.
I have two Ipod 5th generation and they get the same error and have started to lose songs, though not so many as I have stopped trying to sync
I have reinstalled iTunes clicking on the repair option ( i.e. I have not completely uninstalled iTunes) and it has made no difference, I have also bought and run a registry cleaner called Perfect Optimiser as it was recommended on some forum as a solution, and that has not improved matters.
I suspect the problem lies with iTunes and the PC rather than with the iPhones/iPod.
Can anybody tell me how to solve this ?
I should add that the two iPods that we have ( not iPhones) sync correctly, though they are both seen as cameras, so I suspect that the problem is in the iPhone, and to recap, the songs the iPhone is displaying have shrunk from 6200 to 127 and when I try to sync nearly all songs come up with an error 50 banner. and sometimes iTunes tell you the iphone has all 6200 songs and sometimes only 127. Is there anyway just to clean off all the songs only from the iPhone, stop the 50 errors and just reload the music library ?

ITunes server times out (error 408) with some, but not all downloads
The episodes failing to download are "Dawn of a New Day" part 2 from "Skyland" and "Program" from "Animatrix." Everything else, 11 episodes of "Skyland" and "Animatrix", downloaded fine, so it is hard to imagine that this has anything to do with my system. I have already paid for these episodes and have tried numerous times over several days and the downloads never even get started. I would like to get what I paid for.

I recently changed my ISP because I was having connectivity issues. In particular my router would shut down sporadically. As part of my attempt to clear issues I ran some spyware software which I've been told I could trust. Since then I have a problem viewing many websites as many (but not all) of the images are missing, even on websites that I know very well, including my own. What is very strange is that on one site every page has a jpg image under the navigation bar and all of these jpg's appear except one which doesn't appear even when I reload images. This problem also makes security sensitive sites like my bank site look very amateur which frightens me. The problem does not occur on other web browsers.
Which ''spyware software'' software did you run?
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Windows Accessibility settings.

On a recent vacation only some of my photos take on iPhone appeared in photo stream on iPad but not all why?
The iPhone forum is here
https://discussions.apple.com/community/iphone -
My computer / iTunes is set up correctly for wireless (account info. all good), and emial is synched wirelessly. BUT not photos / videos or songs. I seem to have to plug my iPhone into my computer for iTunes to recognize my device. Shouldn't iTunes recognize my iphone wirelessly? For example, I have read that "device" should show up in menu bar on iTunes but it doesn't unless I'm cabled in.
Also, when I go to my iPhone to "synch wirelessly with iTunes", the button / tab doesn't light up for me to chose and tells me will synch when "smith - laptop" is available.....
This is my first iPhone, and just got it so may be user error.....
thanksDid you build Elsa with this package from AUR: elsa-svn-arch
The way your elsa.conf looks like indicates to me that you have not.
Please use the package because you are also missing pam-files. -
I have updated my firefox to version 15.0. After this I have the effect that at some unspecified time during use many of the functions stop working. Menu's do not open, download links do not work anymore and so on. Opening new tab's or windows still works. Links on pages partly work partly not. Copy and paste does not work anymore on webpages. It takes ending the firefox process and restarting to correct the issue until it happens again. I have those effects on totally different webpages. At this time it happens every time after I start Firefox but not right away. Firefox first works for some time and then it suddenly doesn't anymore without me having done anything special
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Lost access to many, but not all web sites after last update: what to do?
On a Macbook pro, connecting via Orange broadband in the UK. suddenly only a few web sites could be accessed, even though email and skype worked fine.
I thought it was a MTU problem, so first tested with the info at this page:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303192
following those instructions, setting the MTU to 1458 which would appear to be the UK recommended value, and also setting the wireless router to that value made it work!
Great, I thought. But then, wanting a permanent fix, I followed these instructions:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107474
and checked the MTU after reboot! yes, it was still 1458.
But the problem had come back. I can only access google and some few other sites, not www.hp.com for example.
So I am at a loss.
I saw that at least one other person has complained about this problem on these forums...
Any ideas would be very welcome!

Not quite sure what you mean here;
a) The DNS Lookup failed
b) The URL returns a blank page
Trace to www.hp.com using /Utilities/Network Utility/Trace tab
Does the URL resolve to an IP number OK, does the trace complete or fail ? -
Moving many but not all iPhoto photos between users
My wife and I share an iMac with separate user accounts. We'd like to move lots of photos from iPhoto in one user account to another. But after we exported original images and video from one account to a shared drive, about a third of the exported images and video failed to import into the other iPhoto account. Is there a better way to do this? Thanks.
Thanks. The error message I get is "Unreadable files. The following files could not be imported. The files are in an unrecognized format." It's odd, because they are all jpg's, they are all photos taken by iPhone 5's, and they all exported from one user's iTunes library in original format. So I wouldn't expect problems.
We previously shared a library but for us it might be easier to manage the family photos if we each keep the set of photos that we take in our own user libraries. -
Many but not all Favicons disappeared from my tabs & bookmarks last week - how can I get them back?
I have been using many of these for years, eg google and tvguide.co.uk but now they show as dot edged boxes instead of favicons on tabs. Others are OK eg Firefox and Facebook. All these sites still display correctly in other browsers.
I have: cleared history, cookies and cache / deleted and remade bookmarks / tried safe mode / restarted several times / tried some recovery addons, but nothing works.
I updated to FF 25 at about the time I noticed this problem and am running Windows 8Do you see the favicon on the tab if you visit one of those sites?
Normally Firefox should fetch the favicon from the server if you click a bookmark to visit this link.
You can check these prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page to make sure that they have the default value.
*browser.chrome.favicons
*browser.chrome.site_icons
Try to let all favicons expire to see if that makes Firefox to store properly them once again.
Copy and Paste the JavaScript code in the command line in the Browser Console (Firefox/Tools > Web <pre><nowiki>Developer;Ctrl+Shift+J) and press the Enter key.
var fS = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/browser/favicon-service;1"]
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIFaviconService);
fS.expireAllFavicons();</nowiki></pre>
(note that this will remove all favicons, so you need to open a bookmark to make Firefox retrieve the favicon)
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#w_fix-the-bookmarks-file
Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
you can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
You can delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js and user.js files to reset all prefs to the default value or reset these prefs to the default value via the right-click context menu on the <b>about:config</b> page or edit the prefs.js file and remove related line(s).

Sometimes i copy CD to the i TUNES, but not all songs. I have an iMac
Sometimes i copy CD to the iTunes but often not all songs..why??
iTunes only allows you to transfer songs from an iPod if they were purchased in the iTunes Store.
As they were transferred from a CD, you have to use an application like Senuti > http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/ It will transfer the music from an iPod to iTunes -

We have a number of users all of a sudden getting "No connectivity with the server. The file 'xxx' can't be opened because the server couldn't be contacted." errors trying to open MS Office docs (Word, Excel, etc.) in SharePoint with IE,
just by clicking the link and selecting the "Read Only" option. If they select the "Check Out and Edit" option, they can open the document no problem. One of my customers gets the error on one document but not the other, in
the same document library! The older document (a weekly report) was copied and renamed as per standard procedure. She can read the older document, but not the new one.
It is definitely a profile issue, as other people have logged onto the machines of the users with problems and do not get the error. We have also renamed people's c:\user profile folders and the corresponding Profilelist registry entry and the newly
created profile does not experience the error for these people. Renaming the profile back restores all their personal settings but the error reappears. When we copied the old profile's folder structure into the new profile, many of the user settings
were restored (but not all, like Dreamweaver settings) but the error did not appear. We think that the system folders files (like AppData) weren't totally copied over so we're going to run another test using xcopy. We are rebooting between
logons to make sure all files are unlocked.
The laptops and computers are mainly 32bit, Win7 Enterprise running IE9 and Office 2010 Professional Plus, but there's a few 64bit machines as well. The SharePoint farm has 1 WFE, 1 App Server running search and CA, and a shared database server running SQL
2005 SP4. SharePoint is 64bit MOSS 2007 with the latest CU.
We've checked the logs on the client as well as on the server and there aren't any helpful entries. We've also run Process Monitor, also with no helpful entries. We're planning to run something like Fiddler next.
It's not everyone, because there are many people are accessing the SharePoint system and the same files. It is also not a permission thing, as we've tested by giving the users elevated permissions with no changes. One person experiencing
the errors is a Site Collection Admin. That same person ran a test where I coped a simple Excel file into a Document Library which contained a problem file. They were able to open it Read Only no problems that day, but the next day, the same
file gave them an error. In their case, they usually get a "xxx is not checked out" error and only occasionally get the "No connectivity with the server" error.
We've tried lots of things including:
Deleting IE cache
Deleting SharePoint Drafts and webcache folder contents
Running IE without add-ons
Upgrading and Downgrading IE
Uninstalling and re-installing IE
Reinstalling our SSL certs
Repairing Office
Removing and then adding back in the Microsoft Office "Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support" Office Tool
Deleting all HKLM and HKLU Office registry settings
Toggling IE Compatibility Settings
Toggling the IE Automatic Logon option
Toggling the location of checked out files
Adding the site in the trusted sites list
Adding the site to the WebClient\Parameters registry locations
Making sure the WebClient service is started
Rebooting the machine (lol :)
This is becoming a serious issue, not just because of the inconvenience for the users having to check out every document they want to read, but we have some files with macros that open up other documents to run which are now failing. There aren't
"check out" workarounds for some of those macros.
We're planning to open a ticket with Microsoft, but I'm throwing it out here first in case someone has run into this before, or may have some suggestions on what to try next. Thanks!
-Richard.
PS I think this needs to be in the "General" forum instead?It took three days of dedicated troubleshooting, but I have found the cause of the errors, and a couple of fixes. It helped tremendously that my own machine was throwing the error. I have scheduled a couple of users to work with me to test the
various fixes, to see which one works best, so the story isn't over yet.
I had backed up my c:\users profile folder and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList registry key so I could restore my profile after I was done. I made a copy of the profile folder and was using that for awhile,
but then made another copy where I had deleted a lot of content out of it so that the copies would go faster. Since a newly created profile did not have errors, I was trying to copy back as much of the profile as possible to make it easier for our users
to get back to work. Instead of blowing away their profile and starting from scratch (which we know worked) I wanted to narrow down what was causing the error and just skip that from the restore. The concept was to keep as much as the users profile
in tact (application settings, etc.) not just restoring their desktop and My Documents folders.
When we first tested a few weeks ago, simply copying the folder contents didn't reproduce the error. I then tried xcopy, but got the "can't read file" error. Then I tried robocopy, and ran into the "junction" problem.
I went back to xcopy, and found that placing the excludes.txt file in the windows/system32 folder eliminated the error.
So the process went as follows:
Reboot and log into the machine as another user
Delete the profile and associated registry key
Reboot and log into the machine as the affected user, creating a new profile, and there is no error
Reboot and log in as the other user
xcopy the contents of the skinned-down backed-up profile to the newly created profile
Reboot and log in as the affected user, and the error occurs
Repeat the above, but add items in the excludes.txt file to see what, when eliminated, causes the error not to appear in the last step
I eventually found that skipping the c:\users\<profile folder>\appdata\local\Microsoft\office\14.0 folder allowed the entire profile to be copied over without the error occurring. That was strange, because we've cleaned out the cache folders
before which didn't fix the issue.
So I went about it the opposite way, and tried to delete the 14.0 folder from the restored profile, and after reboot, the error still occurred.
What eventually worked was deleting the 14.0 folder and copying over a 14.0 folder from a newly created profile!
One way to do this was to:
Reboot and log in as another user
Rename the c:\users profile folder
Rename the appropriate [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList] registry key
Reboot and log in as the affected user, confirm that there is no error
Reboot and log in as the other user
Copy the C:\Users\<profile folder>\AppData\Local\microsoft\Office\14.0 folder to the other user's desktop
Delete new profile folder, and rename the backup to be the production folder
Delete the C:\Users\<profile folder>\AppData\Local\microsoft\Office\14.0 folder and then paste the 14.0 copy from the desktop
Reboot and log in as the affected user, confirm that there is no error
We've tried this on a couple machines and it works. I had to run Windows Explorer as Administrator to access the other profile's folders.
We've also successfully copied a 14.0 folder created by one profile on one affected computer over another profile's folder on another computer, eliminating the error, so we're trying that first, as that is fewer steps.
We may attempt to script this, but the self-help instructions are only 5 lines long:
Reboot and log into the affected computer with another account
Go to <link to location of 14.0 folder on network> and copy the 14.0 folder
Run Windows Explorer as Administrator
Go to c:\users\<profile folder>\appdata\local\microsoft\office and delete the 14.0 folder, and paste the copied 14.0 folder (trying to overwrite it makes Win7 want to merge the folders)
Reboot and log into your normal account, and confirm the error is gone
I'll come back and report after we go into the field with this fix, but after the few tests, I am cautiously optimistic that this is it. -
I have a iPhone 4S and when watching videos on the internet sound cuts out as the video is playing. The rest of the video plays with no sound. Sometimes when I pause It and play again sound comes back but not all the time. can anyone help?
The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check. -
