Ipod doesn't import after moving internal HDD

Ok , I have a Ipod classic and running windows XP Sp3.
I was running out of room on the internal HDD , so fitted a new additional HDD and moved all my data to the drive (F drive).
I did this following the instructions very carefully via Edit-Preferences-Advanced and moved the media file location to F drive. All seemed fine. I check the individual songs , they all play and in "get info" they show the new F drive pathway. I rip some new music from Cd's and yes they automatically go to the correct F drive location ..so all good till that point.
But now when I synch , the synch runs but does not find the new ripped cd's (all have boxes correctly checked)... am a bit lost now
any ideas...

Hmm. I not sure if this is the problem, but it is the only thing that comes to mind right away...
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownneship from an account with administror privileges.

IPhoto doesn't import after moving iPhoto library back to original (?) spot

Hello:
Because I needed space on my original drive, I moved iPhoto library to another drive and then moved it back. iPhoto works perfectly well - It automatically loads my photos. But - when I attempt to import from my Canon Digital Rebel, it won't do it, giving a message that these files (all 7 photos in the camera) may be corrupt.
However - the photos do import correctly on my wife's Mac.
I am thinking that I did not put the iPhoto library back in exactly the right spot.
Where should it go?
Oh - and Happy New Year!

Hi Iann,
There is really no right spoet as you can place the iPhoto Library folder almost anywhere in your Users folder. The Pictures folder is the default location for the folder.
What I need to know is, when you moved the library to another spot, did you open iPhoto when it was there? And when you moved back to the original spot, did iPhoto open?
When you move the iPhoto Library folder, you must then launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed. iPhoto will then tell you that it can't find the library , and do you want to open another one or create a new one. You must then choose to open another one and navigate to where you moved it, then highlight it in the window, then click "open"

Try to do a Reset and a Restore, bear in mind please make sure that you have all the music with your iTunes on your computer, as doing a Restore will erase all the data in your iPod

Prohibited sign at bootup after cloning internal hdd to external hdd and booting up from it

Good evening.
My specifications/environment: I have a Macbook Pro 17" 2009 model running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. The internal hdd had 2 partitions, one for Mac and one for Bootcamp.
Objective: I am trying to upgrade the internal 500GB to a Seagate 1TB external Harddrive and making it the primary internal. Then I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion.
Steps taken: Used a 2TB external to make a Time Machine backup of the current internal harddrive. I put it aside. I made a clone of the internal harddrive (only the mac partition) to another 1TB external, using Disk Rescue 3. I took external Seagate out of its external case and replaced the 500GB internal. I booted up with the new 1TB drive and got a prohibited sign with the spinning circle. I booted up again holding in the ALT key to select the boot drive.
I did notice though that the 1TB Seagate drive used, is a little bit fatter than the previous 500GB internal. I did manage to fit the drive in still, as it had the SATA connector and it did sort of fit in.
Since I couldnt get the drive loaded up, I put the original back in, started up and did a verify and repair on the new drive. It did say that there was a minor header error and it fixed it. Put the new 1TB back in as the internal, but still getting the prohibited sign at startup.
I booted up again without holding ALT and got the folder with the question mark flashing. I shut down again and used ALT and selected the Hard drive for start up and got the prohibited sign again.
i must mention that I also had difficulties deleting the Bootcamp partition and reclaiming the storage to the Mac HDD.
I have more details on the issue as I've tried so many different things.
Please guide me into what steps I should take to make this work.
Thank you in advance

After the two previous partition/format attempts (the first of which included Zero Data erase [around 5 hrs on the 500GB drive as recommended per Kappy's Extended Hard Drive Preparation]) I returned the drive to the retailer for an exchange with an identical WD Scorpio Blue 500GB (I wasn't sure that there was an issue with the drive but didn't want to take any chances on my brand new hard drive upgrade....).
I prepared the new replacement drive attached via USB 2.0 Bytec DriveMate (which has a separate power supply) using Disk Utility (running DU off the internal hard drive [Leopard ver 11.1}), partitioned as 1 partition, GUID, Mac OS Extended (Journaled); erased (but did not zero data); unchecked the "ignore ownership" check box of the external destination drive via Get Info after selecting the drive on the Desktop; and cloned the internal HD to the external drive using the Restore tab of DU, selecting "erase destination" check box.
The clone using Disk Utility Restore tab completed successfully in around 4 hours (83GB of data cloned to the 500GB drive...seems long...perhaps selecting "erase destination" under the Restore tab caused it to take longer?). I unchecked the "ignore ownership" box for the destination drive again after cloning. Rebooted to the external drive and ran a few apps....everything OK.
Not sure what the difference was in the successful clone - whether there was a problem with the original drive or whether "zeroing the data" during the first erase and partition may have created issues - but it worked fine with the new drive.

Ipod doesn't work after firmware update

I have an old ipod and I tried to update the firmware. After the update It did'n work. ON the Ipod screen it appear like a plug indicating to charge it, but I charged it several times and the result is the same.
Now i'm trying to recover it again but my computer doesn't recognize it.

Thanks in advance.

The best place to look for help first is Genuine Apple help directly from Apple.
Read the iPod Touch Users Guide.
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipodtouch
Also start with the basics from Apple.
1. *Restart iPod touch:* Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPod touch. To turn iPod touch back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If you can’t turn off iPod touch or if the problem continues, you may need to reset iPod touch. A reset should be done only if turning iPod touch off and on doesn’t resolve the problem.
2. *Reset iPod touch:* Press and hold both the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
For more troubleshooting suggestions, see Appendix B, “Support and Other Information,” on page 214.

IPod Won't Sync After Moving Music to New Computer

With the help of someone here, I moved my iTunes Library from my old computer to my new one. It didn't work exactly like it was supposed to. All of my music is on my new computer and in my iTunes library, but my playlists, counts etc. are gone. Whatever - I'll deal. Now, though, my iPod won't sync with my new computer (which I did authorized). The "Do Not Disconnect" sign never goes away after I connect my iPod. Thoughts?

*I'm afraid to plug in my iPod in fear of it erasing my playlists...*
If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to a different iTunes. You'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7.3 or later installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
*but should I plug it in to restore playlists??*
Your playlists won't be restored by simply connecting your iPod to iTunes.

My time machine backup (on external hdd) doesn't see my new internal HDD.

I just installed a new HDD and RAM in my mid-09 MBP. When I try and restore from a time machine backup on an external drive, I only get the option to install it on the other partition on that drive - my new internal drive doesn't even appear as an option. Could it be because the backup is from lion but my os disc is leopard?

Available space on MacBook Pro Doesn't Update After Moving Files to iCloud Drive

I need to free up space on my MacBook Pro and have moved about 10 GB of files from my MacBook Pro to my iCloud Drive; however, the available space on my MacBook Pro doesn't show that 10 GB additional space available. How do I get my MacBook Pro available space to recognize that additional 10 GB as available?

No. Sorry. You may want to look into something like the WD My Cloud drive. I've seen the 2TB version refurbished on the WD site for as low as $99 recently. I considered one myself, but I'm not pushed for space as I have an iMac at home with a 500 GB internal drive and 4TB of external storage attached. I don't need that much accessible remotely. What I do need I sync with Dropbox or OneDrive (which also behave the same way as iCloud drive in that they sync to local storage and still consume disk space).

Submit button doesn't work after moving form to another parent container

I'm re-arranging the page using jquery. When I moved a div or table containing a form to another div, the submit button doesn't work anymore. Using the emulation mode under the Inspect Element feature of IE, the same code works for IE9 but not under IE10
and up.
Any ideas?

I will steal the answer that George gave to a similar question, because it turns out it is applicable here as well:
George Johnson on Feb 23, 2012 11:17 AM
When you distribute a form, it replaces the email address that you've set up in a submit button with the email address you have specified in "Edit > Preferences > Identity > Email Address". So before you initiate the Distribute Form process, change the email address there to the one you want to use.
It is a ridiculous solution, because it means I have to make the identity of my personal copy of Acrobat the email address of someone else or some other department when I make the form, but whatever -- at least the form sends now.

IPod doesn't work after 1 year - costs $250 to fix????!?!

My wife got me this ipod for graduation last year. I am just a couple months outside the 'warranty' and it doesn't work. The thing cost like $400 at the time.. and it will cost almost $300 to look at fixing.
This is extremely disappointing. I thought apple made better quality products before this experience. I had to send it back twice because of the battery charge problem and now it just doens't work period.

Automatic reconnect missing files doesn't work after moving to new pc

In edit-->preferences-->files there is a check box to automatically search for and reconnect missing files. I have checked it and it doesn't appear to do anything. Using File-->reconnect all missing files it seems to find them OK, but you need to click 'reconnect' for every file! I have just moved my pics to a new pc so the path is different. I tried editing the 'My Catalogue.psa" file in Access, search and replace the path, and even that didn't work! 1000s of pics! HELP!!!

Attempted to uninstall Quicktime. The uninstall will not finish, saying it encountered a fatal error. Quicktime will not run, either.
when a QuickTime uninstall throws that message at folks, it's usually best to try completely scraping the itunes and QuickTime program files and installation configuration information from the PC, and doing a careful staged reinstall afterwards.
try the technique in the following post. (it includes instructions on what to do if Add/Remove isn't letting you uninstall one of the programs.)

Ipod doesn't work after updating software!!!!!!!

I've just updated my ipod nano's software and it stopped working. The itunes works alright, it updates the songs and everything but the ipod itself has no image whatsoever! How can I solve this?

Try resetting the ipod to see if you can get a response from it.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61705
If you can get it to come up to an apple logo, but no further. Try putting it into disk mode. Then restore the ipod.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
If you cannot get a response from the ipod and it does not charge or respond to the computer, then the ipod needs to be serviced. you can set the ipod up for service via the ipod service request form on the apple website.

IPod doesn't work after updating...??

Hi everyone,
Anyone who can help me with this - please do! It would be much appreciated!
I run WinXP Pro on my Asus M6A laptop. Recently, I started iTunes and it said there was an update available. I updated iTunes. When I restarted iTunes it told me there was an update available for my iPod. I accepted that and let my iPod get updated.
Now, it's screwed.
Essentially, it spends almost all of its time frozen, not responding to any inputs on the click wheel or on any of the other buttons - not even the hold button. What is displayed on screen just remains, frozen there.
The one exception is the reset - I can reset it. Then, until I plug it into the computer, it appears to function. When I plug it in it will appear in the updated version of iTunes fine, but will stop responding (although iTunes appears to copy across updated data, e.g. if I change the title of a song?).
I tried the 5R's. None of them worked. When I tried restoring it it just crashed about two bars into the process, bringing my entire laptop down with it.
I tried using the old Apple iPod updater, but this exits straight away with an "Invalid iPod service version" error message.
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this please let me know! I've tried everything I can think of, and basically none of it has worked. Thanks!
Christo
ASUS M6A Laptop Windows XP Pro

Mine is exactly the same, worked for almost 9months then started giving me trouble! I am tired of resetting it, restoring it to factory setting and formatting it! My hold button is also broken, my fast forward button is not clicking anymore, suspect its because i use it alot but thats no excuse for apple. Anyone know what there return policies are if u still have a warrenty or know how to fix the proubles so many of us are having with our 5th gen ipods?? HELP PLEASE!!!

MacBook Pro doesn't recognise new Internal HDD

Hi there, I was hoping to get some help on this ...
I purchased a WD Scorpio Blue 750GB internal HDD and Apricorn kit and used SuperDuper to clone my current internal HDD. The clone copy worked fine and I can boot the OS via the new WD HDD if it’s connected via USB, but when I install it inside, the Macbook doesn’t recognise it and a folder with a blinking ‘?’ appears.
I’ve tried booting up from the disk utility on start up to hopefully select it and that doesn’t work either as it cannot find the HDD.
I’ve tried booting up from disk utility and using my Time Machine back-ups to copy over the new WD HDD but it doesn’t recognise the new internal HDD either.
I did format it before I cloned the new drive to be OS Extended (Journaled) but I didn’t make multiple partitions and not sure if this is a step I'm missing.
When I put the old HDD back in it boots fine.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Cheers, Sam

Didn't matter how many times I reformatted, partitioned mapped the HDD when it was connected externally, the issue was was the Super Duper clone. (even though it would start up as an external start up disk.)
Had to install the new HDD internally and reformat it from boot up through Disk Utility then do a restore from a previous Time Machine back up.
Works fine now, no issues.

IPod Podcasts tab empty after consolidating iTunes 7 music library

I followed these instructions to move my iTunes 7 library to a different hard drive. All seemed fine.
Except that when I connected each of my 2 iPods the first time after moving the library, each one complained that no podcasts could be synced because all of the podcasts that had been enabled for syncing were now missing; and then the podcasts that had been on the iPods were deleted.
And sure enough, the "podcast" tab in each iPod's preferences (where one can select which podcasts to sync to a given iPod) shows no available podcasts.
Weirdly (and fortunately), the Podcast source in the source list is fine. All of my subscribed podcasts are displayed, and each episode is still playable (and the music files are intact, in the new location). Additionally, chosing to sync "all" podcasts on the podcast tab would seem to work, because I'm told there's not enough space to move all the podcasts, and asked if I want to turn off podcast syncing for the iPod.
But there are no podcast subscriptions visible in tbat list, so I can't select any to sync. It seems to be all or nothing.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Chris
12 PB G4 1GHz, 30GB/Combo/768MB; Mac Pro 4x2.66 2GB Mac OS X (10.4.8) iTunes 7.0.1

I was able to fix this problem, just by chance. I manually updated a podcast in the podcast source list, and discovered a little later that the podcast I'd updated was again visible in the iPod's podcast tab.
I went through all of my subscribed podcast entries in the source list and updated them (right+click -> "Update Podcast") and now they're all visible again in the iPod podcast tab.
Hope this helps someone else.
