Is there a way to cancel a disk import without Force Quit of Itunes?

Sometimes a disk import hangs -- dirty disk, defective, whatever.
When this happens the import just hangs up - and I can't find any way to cancel the import except to Force Quit Itunes. The disk won't eject because it is "in use".
Is there another way? Or is Force Quit the only way?
Thanks

actually, the real question is how to get back that import status if you've tried to play the songs while the import is occurring. Once it starts showing the duration etc. of a specific song, it's not clear how to show the import status and get the "x" back.

Is there any way of cancelling a broadband order on the grounds of unreasonable delay in fulfillment? I've moved house and office I was told that my phone number would be moved and my broadband set up within two weeks - that is, one week after moving. This was just about acceptable since moving is always chaotic and friends, clients and colleagues expect it. But I run my business from home and I have been told today (19 Jan) that I will have to wait another week.This is unacceptable to me if I can find an alernative supplier who will set me up within the next few days.

Bear in mind, its Openreach that do any provision works for all service providers, so cancelling and changing providers, would send you to the bottom of the queue.
Broadband provision cannot take place until there is a working telephone line. Once that is in place, then there will be a delay until the broadband task can be completed, depending on how busy Openreach are.

I burned disks of previously purchased content that is not available thru iTunes anymore but the latest ver. of iTunes won't let me copy this same content onto a new comp. Is there a way to do this or maybe an earlier ver. of iTunes to download?

Make sure that Develop Settings being applied during import is set to "None".

Is there a way to create a disk image so I don't have to take the disk along to play a game when I go on a trip?

I'm going to a trip soon. I play a game (Sims) that requires that the disk is in the computer in order for the game to run. Is there a way to use a disk image so I don't have to bring the actual disk along on my trip? Thanks.

Maybe. Mount the disc and launch Disk Utility. Select the disc, and choose File > New > Disk Image from Sims. In the Save dialog that opens, choose "CD/DVD Master" as the format. Save the image. Eject the Sims disc, then double-click the image file you just saved. It should mount. Try the game.
DO NOT distribute the image file to anyone else, as that would be copyright infringement.

You've tried closing and re-opening iTunes and/or rebooted your computer and you have the latest version of iTunes installed ?
If you have then you could try contacting iTunes Support and ask them to remove the pre-order from your account : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Is there any way to cancel the iTunes Match renewal after the transaction?

Hey everyone,
My iTunes match has just automatically renewed even though I'm about 90% sure that I deactivated it when I reinstalled iTunes due to the fact that iTunes match would make it crash every time...
I really can't justify spending £20 on something that I'm never going to use and I think it's kind of naughty of Apple not to send me an email before. I can't really say that I'm surprised with the way I've been treated as a customer since I got my iPhone.
But yeah, is there any way to cancel it and get a refund AFTER the renewal or is that completely unheard of?

You can always try contacting iTunes support and seeing if they will reverse the transaction. I would think that iTunes Match would show up on the Report a Problem page. Note: it's at the support agent's discretion on whether they'll issue a refund since the store policy is that all sales are final.

Is there any way to recover a disk's catalog directory after a Quick Erase?

A disk's data directory seems to me to be the most vulnerable Achilles's Heel to protecting data.
With the 1 click of an accidental quick erase and format via Disk Utility, the roadmap to potentially multiple terabytes of data gets erased.
Even if zero data files were overwritten and all of the data files get recovered, (please, please correct me if I'm wrong) data recovery software can't retrieve the filenames, folder names, and the organizational, hierarchical structure, which then can only be painstakingly rebuilt by hand.
Relative to the size of the data, the directory is tiny. Wouldn't recovering a backup of the directory (that should always be automatically made as a fail-safe whenever an erase/format is done) make complete recovery fast and easy?
This seems waaayyyy too obvious to be overlooked, but everything I read indicates that with 1 click, it's gone and can't be recovered!
Is there any way to recover a disk's catalog directory after a Quick Erase?

This is not accurate.
The catalog on an erased disk may be recoverable - you need to use the correct software to look for it & repair it. SSD's will make this more difficult because of how the controller operates on the drive reallocating & overwriting entire chunks without any external way to override that but spinning disks should still have the potential for recovery. If you have more dollars than sense (e.g. 3 letter agencies) you could apparently use advanced techniques to undo layers of magnetic changes - magnetic force microscopy is meant to be able to do this, but I have only seen it discussed as theory, never demonstrated.
Tools like TestDisk may be able to rebuild the original partition structure, from there you could try tools like Disk Warrior to reconstruct the catalog, which could potentially recover the file & folder names. I'm generalising here because I haven't done this on HFS+ (at least as far as I can remember ), I have done comparable things on Linux ext3 volumes. HFS+ has similar features (like a built in backups of the volumes structures).
You seem to be concocting a solution that seems weird to me - saving a backup disk catalog when erasing a disk entirely defeats the point of erasing (unless the backup should be saved to another physical disk).
You agreed to erase the disk - the error here is yours (sorry for being blunt, but you shouldn't really expect Apple to account for uncommon user mistakes). Frankly people shouldn't be editing disks when there are non backed up volumes connected but sometimes it's a hard lesson to learn.
If you have a backup running file recovery on a deleted volume is irrelevant - you would always be better off replacing from a copy, 'file carving' or data recovery is likely to bring back old files which were not erased & not in the last catalog, potentially polluting the result.
If you don't know how to recover & have erased data that you really need recovered take it to a professional company, it is the best option by far. Using & attempting to repair can lose more data as Kappy noted.
There are many other drawbacks with HFS+ that should probably be addressed before this e.g. data is not verified to be the identical as when it was originally stored to disk.
If you really don't like the filesystem limitations use an alternative like ZFS on a server, that has many extra features that better at protecting what is saved. Other systems also manage file duplication for redundancy & data verification etc.
Mac OS Extended is all we have that is fully supported on OS X for booting & all common tasks, so ask Apple to address you concerns http://apple.com/feedback/ but I'm not sure it makes sense for other users.

Is there any way to cancel restore, I think I must have pressed it by accident

Is there any way to cancel restore, I was on something else on line and clicked, it must have jumped back to i-tunes and started restore, it is now saying it must be restored before using with i-tunes. I don't want to restore as I will lose everything? Any help appreciated

If you really moved it to the Trash and emptied the Trash, your best option is to restore the iPhoto library from your backup.
But if you did not actually trash the library and it is just missing, search for it with Find Any File as described by Old Toad in this post: Re: iPhoto Library is missing. What do I do?
If you don't have a backup and cannot find the library, you will need to buy recovery software to find the photos, but that will not restore the library.

I am migrating from my old black MacBook to a new MacBook pro over wifi but why does it take SO Long...? I have about 400 gig to transfer and it says 80 hours! Can this be right? Is there a faster way? Is there a way to cancel the migration?

I have an old black MacBook (2006) and want to migrate to my new MacBook pro i7. The migration assistant offered me the prospect of migrating via wifi. Stated at 108 hours to transfer about 400 gig. Now revised down to 85 hours. Why is this so so so long?? Is there a faster way? What happens if I cancel now. Is there a way to cancel? As there is no cancel button....
Ay suggestion sighing the next 80 hours very much appreciated.

The 2006 MacBook has firewire. Use a cable like this. Boot the '06 with the T key held down until you see the Firewire icon. Connect the 400 port on the '06 to the 800 port on the i7. Run Migration Assistant. 400 GB will still take a long time, but it will be closer to 8 hours I think.

Is there a way to put the songs from my ipod to my itunes???

I think I did something and it erased some of my songs in the library but they are still on my ipod. what happened to the songs??? and is there a way to put the songs from my ipod onto my itunes?

Perhaps you may
i still
have the music files on your PC -- but not seen in iTunes.
Check using Windows Explorer in 'My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\...' for folders containing your music (or wherever you keep your music folders). If it is there, we can get iTunes to recognize it. Try one or both of these:
--- In iTunes choose: Edit==>Preferences==>Advanced tab. Select 'Change' and browse to the music folder in your PC drive (if it isnt already). Click OK to save that setting.
--- In iTunes choose: File==>Add Folder to Library & browse to the music folder in your PC drive. Click OK.
Also check in your Recycle Bin to see if you accidentally deleted it. If so, Restore it back to its original spot.
Then try running a search using Windows Explorer (or similar) for files with the extensions of: m4a, m4p, MP3,
i OR
with the partial names of the songs you are missing.
Do all the above before you decide that they have been completely erased from your hard drive.
If your music files are truly gone, and you have some or all of your music files on your iPod, these links will give you
i several
methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring playlists , ratings, counts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you.

I recently purchased an old iMac G3 Macintosh. I was wondering, is there a way where I can update it without using an external disc? I've seen the newer Apple products with the dock, if I update my iMac G3, will it have that, and if so, how can I do that?

I was wondering, is there a way where I can update it without using an external disc?
If you mean the iMac does not have an internal optical drive capable of reading DVDs, the only option requires another Mac with a DVD-capable drive and FireWire ports. Your iMac G3 will also require FireWire ports. Not all G3 iMacs have Firewire. FW started with the Summer 2000 models with 400mHz and faster processors.
With FireWire, you can use FireWire Target Disk mode to install from a retail OS install DVD in another Mac. If you supplemental info info tells us if you have another Mac with a DVD reader and the FW ports, we can walk you through the process.
If the iMac has a tray-loading drive, I'd forget it. They are very limited not only in the OS max (10.3.9) but also in RAM capability. Starting with the slot-loading iMac G3s, the max RAM increased to 1 GB (2 X 512MB modlules). Tiger likes 1GB RAM.
Understand that pre-Intel Macs are getting harder to use. Even with 10.4.11, your choice of browsers is limited (TenFourFox is the most viable option) and the G3s rudimentary video hardware means web browsing will be choppy at best.
If you are in the USA, you can try calling the Apple Store (1-800-MY-APPLE) for an OS disk. As recently as Jan 20, someone posted here that they were able to buy Tiger by calling. It was not clear whether the disks were replacement system install/restore disks or full retail install, but it's a free call.
When you do "About this Mac" to check teh OS verion, also look at the processor speed and tell us what that says. That can help with recommendations for an upgrade path.

I have an older ipod...ever since I updated the itunes software my ipod no longer works in my car. my car is a 2013 mercedes E350. Is there a way to go back to an older version of the itunes software?

I have an older ipod...ever since I updated the itunes software my ipod no longer works in my car. my car is a 2013 mercedes E350. Is there a way to go back to an older version of the itunes software?

If it's an older iPod, its software is not being updated by Apple. So, I don't see how updating iTunes would make the iPod not work with the car's audio system, since iTunes just updates the song files (not how the iPod operates).
Does the iPod work by itself (play songs), when disconnected from the computer and iTunes?
