Sorry. Will that kill out my library?
no. it will only put a fresh (an hopefully working) copy of iTunes on your machine.
however, backing up your precious information regularly is always a good idea. especially purchased content from the iTunes store ...

PC file sharing over Airport Extreme does not show up on Mac

I have two PCs and a new Macbook Pro with a new Airport Extreme (AE) base station. All 3 computers can access the Internet through the wireless AE. Hooray! But file sharing that is turned 'on' on the PCs does not show up on the Mac. For that matter, neither PC sees the other PC's shared files, either.
Now here's the really weird part... When I network through an Ethernet router/hub and don't use the AE, then all 3 computers see all the shared files and directories. I suppose I have something configured incorrectly on the AE network, but I haven't a clue what. Can you help?

Here's how to find IPs on various machines, including Windows® varients...

What to do once you know them, assuming the first 3 numbers are the same for the PCs and Mac... from the Mac, use Go>Connect to Server, then type in smb://, then the actual IP of a PC... let us know the results.

2G itouch does not show on mycomputer or in itunes when trying to sync

Just back from vacation and itunes 9.0 available so I upgrade. Having not synced for a while i try but the PC restarts itself. Once started neither Itunes or Mycomputer sees the ipod and so cannot sync. When connecting the ipod to the PC I get a different beep noise to what you usually get when attaching an external drive through a USB port and the computer shows no sign of a drive attached. When I remove the ipod I do get the usual beep noise you get when removing an external drive from USN port.
I have tried:
1/uninstalling and re-installing itunes
2/deauthorising and authorising computer in itunes
3/different cables
4/different USB ports on the PC
5/powering off the itouch
...probably tried other things too but lost count.
Anyone help ?

I had a similar problem the other day when upgrading from 3.0 to to 3.1 and then then my ipod touch wouldn't even turn on.
When connecting the ipod to the computer and holding down the ipod power and home buttons for 20 seconds the computer would beep but perform no action and itunes would not recognise the ipod.
If you right click on the usb connections on your computer you may find the computer is not recognising the ipod correctly if so you will need to update the drivers these are located in c:/program files/common files/apple/mobile device support/drivers
just point windows to that directory and it will load the driver usbaapl.sys
reconnect the ipod and hold the home and power buttons again
then once windows has identified the ipod correctly press the home button and itunes should identify your ipod which it will then reformat.
It worked for me and after that finally loaded 3.1.1 correctly.
good luck hope this solves it.
let me know if it does.

ITunes burned CD track info does not show in another mac.

iTunes burns a CD of imported LPs. Track info was entered with Audacity, saved as aiff and then imported into iTunes . The track info shows up in my car CD player but not another mac. Any suggestions?

Update: after trying 6 discs that failed, the next few worked fine. Both iTunes and Finder displayed the actual disk name and track names. However, going back to the previously failed disks did not change the outcome. They still failed. That worked for another 6 or so disks, then this morning I ran across another one that got looked up in iTunes, but not in Finder.

To check your model go to About This Mac (by clicking on the Apple icon, top left) and then select more info. If you wish to use mirroring you will need one from 2011 or later running OSX 10.8 or later. The alternative would be to use 3rd party software like Airparrot.

PS CC 2014 not showing up in Mac Finder after update

Just did the update/install of PS CC 2014, and while I can see the application in my applications folder if I do a spotlight search, it does not show up in Mac Finder when I go to my applications folder. Actually this is the case for several CC 2014 apps after the update. For example, Muse CC 2014 and InDesign CC 2014 show up in my applications folder, but not Illustrator CC 2014 or PS CC 2014. Anybody else experience this and/or have a resolution? I did a restart after the cc 2014 app updates to see if that would fix anything, but it didn't.
It's annoying to have to do a spotlight search to reinstall all my plug-ins and to just launch the app.

Craig, thanks for the reply, but it's not a matter of updating the dock icons after the update. I realize I need to drag the new CC 2014 apps to the dock if I want to access them there. It's more of an issue where all the CC 2014 app updates except Muse and InDesign weren't showing up in my HD > Applications folder where every other app on my machine resides. Instead, most of the CC 2014 updates got installed to my User > Applications folder for some bizarre reason. Those updates are the ONLY apps in that folder.
Anyone know why they would get installed there instead of the normal HD > Applications folder?

I have an apple iphone 4 that I want to download audio books from my library onto it. I cannot figure out how to do that. The iphone does not show up on my mac laptop as a connected device. Does this kind of download have to run through itunes? Thanks

Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device.

How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility

How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility?
Last night i was using my external hard drive, for some reason the folder just closed and i couldn't find it on my desktop.
After googling solutions, i found it in the disk utilities, i clicked on the 'repair' button many times, but it said the 'error...' message.
So i ejected it to try again, now when i connect the USB external hard drive it doesn't show up on my desktop or disk utilities.
I really just want to either repair or recover the data on it because it literally has everything (documents, work files, photos etc) on it,
I downloaded an application to recover my files but it needs the USB to at least show up.recognise it which mine doesn't.
I know i should've backed it up on another USB, this definitely teaches me for next time to back up all my files.
Are the files lost forever or can i recover them by going to a shop or using a software?

Thank you for responding.
This might sound stupid since i'm not really knowledgeable with Macs,
but since all my files were moved from my mac computer to the external hard drive,
is it possible to recover those files through my Mac - like recovering deleted files?

I'm also having a music issue. When my phone is attached to the computer (mac running 10.6.8) it looks like my music is there but its gray and I can't play anything. I've tried to delete it and it won't let me but it does not show up on my phone.

By the way, I have tried shutting of the display switching in the power settings. That was basically the only real answer I found anywhere. It didn't work.

It won't show up on your Apple TV until it is fully downloaded into iTunes on your computer, have you done this.

I have a old excel file that does not show hiding cell boxes on my Mac.

I have a old excel file that has some hiding info. in some of the cell boxes. I can not see them on my Mac computers. When I click on the cells to see the hidden info. it does not show up.

Are you using Mac OSX version of Excel or the Windows version of Excel? Regardless being specific to Excel, it would be best to ask in the Microsoft Office forums.

I have the new macbook pro from late 2011. when i try plugging my cannon gl2 into the mac via firewire 800 it does not show up in iMovie as an option to import from. i even have gone into my settings on the camera and changed it to vcr.

I have the new MacBook Pro from late 2011. "the one before the new ritina display" i have a cannon gl2 video camera which is mini dv. when i plug it into my mac via firwire 800 it does not show up in the iMovie. i have set the settings on the camera to vcr mode and changed it to av->dv out. when i click on the import from camera on imovie it doesnt even show my camera in it. it just gives me the option to import video from my facetime camera. the camera is turned on the wires are connected i know for fact that its a firewire and not a usb. i know what they each look like. i bought the firewire cable and it was marked down cause it was an opened and used item. would it be possible that it could be deffected and if that is not the reason what other options do i have?

I would say that odds are high that you have a bad cable. Maybe that is why they returned it.
I would suggest trying a different firewire cable.
You can find Firewire cables inexpensively at monoprice.com. You need a 4 pin to 9 pin firewire cable.
Here is a link.
http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10301
Other things to check:
Is your camera plugged in to wall power (not to batteries only). Must be hooked to an AC power source to import.

Sd card reader does not show up as a external hard drive any were on my mac

i have a sd card reader that is run through usb. i plug it in whit my card in it that has files on it but the driver does not show up any were not on the desktop not any were ive gone through the trouble shooting on apples sight but no luck. any one have a idea?
the weird part about it is that it worked a few weaks ago no problem like i would just plug it in and it would show up on my desktop

It seems that Intel Macs have problems seeing (the media in) some USB storage devices.
For example I have a Zynet CR-T1-U28 8-in-1 memory card reader. It works A-OK on an old Powerbook running 10.3.9, and on several PPC-based newer machines running 10.4.10. The cards I've tried in it mount immediately and show up on the desktop (and iPhoto starts automatically if appropriate).
However none of the FAT-formatted cards I've tried will mount on any Intel-based machine I've tried it on (all have been running 10.4.10).
Here's how it shows up on my Macbook:
USB Storage Device:
Version: 1.00
Bus Power (mA): 500
Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: Generic
Product ID: 0x3260
Serial Number: 20030903213338562
Vendor ID: 0x0aec
And here's how it shows up on the old Powerbook:
USB Storage Device:
Capacity: 60.75 MB
Removable Media: Yes
Detachable Drive: Yes
BSD Name: disk1
Vendor Name: Generic
OS9 Drivers: No
Product ID: 12896 ($3260)
Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec
Bus Power (mA): 500
Serial Number: 20030903213338562
Interestingly one kind of card I've tried, a Sandisk M2 card, the 64 MB card shown on the powerbook, mounts A-OK when it's in my Z710i phone and is connected via USB to the macbook. At first I thought the card reader could be at fault, but given the number of (admittedly vague) reports I've seen here today about similar problems with other devices I'm more inclined to blame some driver or kernel problem on Intel macs.
The following showed up for the first time ever in the console log during today's test to get the System Profiler data:
