ITunes 8 and IPhoto

When I try to add a song from my ITunes library to a slideshow in IPhoto, a window pops up that says that "this computer is not authorized to play that song - go to ITunes and authorize". HOWEVER, I have used the same songs many times before with ITunes 7.7 and IPhoto for slideshows.
And if I go to ITunes, the same song it tells me is not authorized, plays just fine.
How can I correct this without using up another authorization of ITunes??
Thanks.

I've since determined that the problem is not isolated to iTunes, and in fact the problem lies with iPhoto. As such, I've posted a new question within the iPhoto area:

  • I would like to connect an external hard drive to my time machine and use it as a network drive to store itunes and iPhoto  how do i do this

    I have just purchased a new my book hard drive and would like to connect it to my time capsule and store my itunes and iphoto contentent there to free up space on my internal hard drive . Can this be done and what is the process?

    I'd like to store my Aperture /IMovie Libraries on an external hard drive.
    That is fine and recommended.. use the fastest disk you can afford.. ie Thunderbolt>USB3>FW800>USB2.
    In addition, I'd like to partition the external hard drive so that Time Machine can use it to both back up my IMac and the external library drives.
    Let me be clear.. you want to partition the one disk.. use it for TM and move your files to the external disk.. and then backup to the same disk.. You can do it.. but that is not a backup.. that is an experiment in how long you can get away with running files and backups on the same disk before you lose everything.. like Russian Roulette.. pull the trigger enough times and laws of probability will do you in.
    You must have backups on a different disk .. otherwise it is pointless.
    Can I set up a RAID 5 format for redundancy?
    No.. you can buy special USB and Thunderbolt external drives that support RAID..
    BUT that is still not a backup.. let me show why.. you make a silly move and corrupt your file in aperture.. it is not that rare.
    Raid will corrupt all copies of the files.. it is replicated across all disks.
    Delete a photo it is deleted across all disks.. you have no recovery.
    Alway, always consider RAID system one disk.. backup onto another disk.. and if the photos or movies are at all important to you.. ie your family .. make another copy and store in a relatives house.. There is no such thing as too much redundancy.

  • How do i restore my itunes and iphoto from time machine?

    I backed up my iMac using Time Machine using an external drive, after purchasing a MacBook Pro. I now want to move my iTunes and iPhoto from this iMac time machine backup to my new MacBook, but I can't get past the "you can't open the application because it is in a time machine backup". I attempted to migration assistant and it said it moved all of my applications over, but the songs and photos from my old iTunes and iPhoto didn't transfer. How can I just ******* move the songs and photos to my new computer from my god **** external drive? Why does it have to be so complicated...

    Look at Q15 here. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    There are separate sections for iphoto and itunes.
    It has to be so complicated because Apple made TM to do too much and be too many things to too many people.. a horse designed by a committee. It has become flakey in later editions.
    If you still have the iMac you can move the files directly from the source.. you don't need to use TM backups at all.

  • How do I get iTunes and iPhoto to recognize my iPhone 4?

    I have a MacBook Pro (version 10.5.8). I recently installed a new hard drive, battery, and had the Genius Bar reinstall my OS X. Now, iTunes and iPhoto don't recognize my iPhone 4 (version 5.1) when it's attached through the USB port. It simply doesn't show up in the left column of either program. Before the hard drive, battery and reinstall of OS X, I never had this problem.
    I have tried restarting my phone and my computer, and looking for my iPhone in Image Capture, and none of these actions have worked.
    Help!

    Update: I did this and it now recognizes my phone. But iPhoto '09 (version 8.1.2) still does not recognize my phone. Any advice?

  • ITunes and iPhoto Crash! Not working.

    Ok so 2 days ago i started getting problems with my Mac(10.6.2) (First time like ever!). I tried to start Firefox, it crashed on start up and i mean, it bounced and then NOTHING! I deleted the .plist file and restarted and it worked. Next, iPhoto went down, it wont start at all. Same thing, bounces in the dock and then nothing, not even a start screen.
    I did the same, deleted plist files, even removing and deleting the library (i have all photos backed up so i just wiped the whole thing). I even used "iPhotoLibraryManager" and it didn't do anything, restarted, everything i can think of, still no iPhoto. I googled and googled and found page after page of things that didn't help one bit. Now to be honest i can life without iPhoto, but i NEED to have iTunes, thats not a option.
    So next, iTunes now wont work, (9.1.1) it seems each day a new program is gone! Same as before, i click iTunes icon, it bounces and then dead. I looked up console messages and it is saying (for BOTH iTunes and iPhoto)
    "[0x0-0x63063].com.apple.iTunes[810] dyld: Library not loaded: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Symbolication.framework/Versions/A/Symbolicat ion" "com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[93] (com.apple.ReportCrash[817]) Job appears to have crashed: Trace/BPT trap"
    So it looks like the libraries are corrupt or something? This seems to be all im getting. Again, i tried rebuilding library, deleting itunes.plist and even deleting the program (and the whole itunes folder) and reinstall a new one from apple, i even made a new user account and logged in and same exact thing, bounce and dead!
    Does anyone know ANYTHING that will help me? I seem to have tried everything!! I am lost without iTunes! Please help... :(:(:(

    I would boot to your install disc that came with your computer, like you're going to reinstall. After you pick your language, choose Utilities from the menu bar, open Disk Utility, choose your regular boot drive on the left column, then Repair Disk. See if it turns up anything. Then it wouldn't hurt to Repair Permissions while you're in there. Any permission errors can probably be ignored.
    Repair Disk can fix directory problems, up to a point. Hopefully your drive is OK.
    I'd give it a try anyway.
    Tried that now, and its still the same, just wont work!

  • My iphone 4s is recognized by itunes and iphoto, but it will not show as a device in finder for macbook pro

    My iPhone 4s is recognized by itunes and iphoto however it does not show up in finder under devices.

    I don't agree - I have two IMacs and two iPhones - the iPhone 4S show up on one machine, but not the other.  They do show that they are charging, and a memory stick will open on the same USB ports.  So, I don't think this is how they are "supposed to work"......

  • Any way to restore iTunes and iPhoto libraries from failed Time Machine backup?

    Is there a way to restore iTunes and iPhoto libraries from an unmountable Time Machine backup?
    Background: I received an update alert on my iMac (mid-2010, 1TB) from Time Machine (wirelessly connected to a Time Capsule, 2TB 2013)  that it required an update and required rebooting, of course, it happened when I was in the middle of a project and I postponed the restart for later.  That evening I turned off the computer and coincidentally the next morning, the iMac would not start; it loaded to the Apple logo and about an 1/8 of the progress bar would load before the iMac would turn off.
    The iMac had been fine to that day (OS upgrades and all since 2010) so I was assuming something misfired when I declined the Time Machine update. I tried the PRAM and SMC resets mentioned in the forums but no dice. I then went into Disk Utility to try repairs and there were errors on the hard drive that could not be fixed. My next step was to erase the drive and restore from my Time Machine backup. Before doing that I checked Disk Utility and to my horror,  it told me that my Time Machine backups were unmountable so of course my first thought was that all my files were gone.
    The TC was under warranty so I called support and they referred me to the local Genius Bar. The Genius was great and showed me that my files weren't lost even though the Time Machine backup was unmountable. They recommended I erase the partitions, starting from scratch and I would have to transfer the Time Machine backup files manually by directly connecting an ethernet cable from the TC to the computer. If that didn't work, the hard drive was bad and needed replacement which they could take care of.
    I followed their recommendation and the hard drive is fine. I was so relieved to hear that my files were safe that I forgot to ask about all of the metadata that was lost in iTunes (de-selected songs, playlists, rankings, play counts) and iPhoto (geotags, names, etc). Any ideas / help? I sank considerable time into my music and photos and would love to have that time back.
    FWIW, I'm in the process of buying an external hard drive as a secondary backup to the TC as my confidence is a little shaken on the product line - the first time I ever actually need a backup and the backup is unmountable. My whole point of spending a little more and buying into the Apple ecosystem for a backup solution was to streamline the backup process and avoid these types of issues.

    Thank you for the reply. I tried the Disk Utility to repair my TC's Time Machine backup disk with no luck, it stopped with the message:
    Disk utility stopped repairing "iMac"
    Disk Utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.
    It took a night but I was able to copy all the TC Time Machine files to the external hard drive as a backup to a backup just in case. I'm still pretty bummed the TC's backup didn't allow for Disk Utility's restore functionality. Fortunately, the iPhoto library backup I dragged to the iMac from the Time Capsule backup worked without a hitch. On the downside, the "iTunes Library.itl" backup I dragged over is locked so now I'm checking out the forums for any ways to fix that. I temporarily created a new iTunes library with all my apps and music but plan on reverting to the old iTunes library if possible so I can start syncing my iOS devices again.

  • External Drive for ITunes and IPhoto

  • How can I back up only iTunes and iPhoto to an external HDD

    How can I back up only iTunes and iPhoto, so I can reformat my computer and restore the files in these two programs?  I have an external, but its not big enough to create a time machine copy of my HDD.  I have an iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.  I am also running Windows 8 via Parallels and I would prefer to keep this partition in tact, but if thats not possible I'll re instal that program.  
    Some how Mackeeper and a couple other shady programs have been installed on my computer and what I want to do is reformat my computer. 

    You could drag the iPhoto and iTunes folders to the external drive and move them back later.
    However, it might be easier to just remove MacKeeper and other adware.

  • Old Macbook to New Macbook Air Transfer but new Macbook Air has less Storage Space. I only want to keep all iTunes and iPhoto Files. I can keep the rest on an External HD. How should I do this?

    Bought a New Macbook Air and wanting to transfer only iTunes and iPhoto stuff to the new Macbook Air. How should I do this? Ive got and External HD acting as Time Machine but the Data on there is 143G worth and the New Macbook Air is a 128G HD. So i dont need all the extra Documents but want to keep them on the External HD which has been Partitioned.
    Question is - How do I transfer the iTunes and iPhoto info into the New Macbook air and keep all its settings ect and also keep the Docs ect in the HD? Time Machine wont work as there is too much info for the New Macbook Air.
    What should I do?

    In iTunes 11 uncheck the preferences setting in in the iTunes Preferences panel "Advanced > Copy Files to iTunes Media folder when adding to Library"

  • Time Machine Backup Potential Warning - Omits itunes and iphoto library

    I recently had to restore from time machine, only to discover that in over one month of backups (since upgrading to Leopard and replacing carbon cloner w/ TM) it in fact never backed up my itunes and iphoto libraries. No warnings, no prompts, no messages to the effect that the backup wasn't backing up ALL of my files. Both these folders resided as subfolders in a media folder, not in their default locations (no warning about that being a problem either...). Now I am trying data recovery, but looks like I will be out 4000+ songs and thousands of irreplaceable photos -- the reason I was backing up in the first place.
    Trying to remain composed, I wanted to put this out there as a warning in case other folks are relying on TM and end up in the same position, and also to invite suggestions for possible recovery fixes (in addition to using prosoft data recover 2)
    thanks

    well this post made me go double check my TM. I was able to see both my iPhoto DB and all my iTunes songs. My iTunes are on an EHD, but I was able to check albums as I added them. I just happened to remember when I added a new song and was able to look at the day before this and it wasn't there, then the day after and it was. Also on my iPhoto I was able to see it grow in size from Dec 30th until today in TM.
    I know this didn't help, but maybe it will make folks check it out to see that TM is or is not working. At some point I hope to get around to cloning my HD, as you can never have too many backups.

  • Time Machine , iTunes and iPhoto

    I am trying to use TM to back up my iTunes and iPhotos Only. My external hard drive is only 189 GB and will not hold entire contents of my iMAC. Looking to upgrade external hard drive by end of year , but need back up now.
    So I am looking to only back up my itunes and iPhotos libraries. Does anyone know how this can be done? I tried to use the exclude feature, but I do not know where the itunes and iphoto store the music and pictures.
    Should I exclude the entire iMAC HD and then remove the itunes and iphoto libraries ? If so where do I find those folders ?
    Thanks for your help.
    ARS

    iTunes and iPhoto Libraries are in your Home folder, in the "Music" and "Pictures" folders. Exclude those. Also, get Carbon Copy Cloner, and set it to only backup those folders, if that's what you want.

  • Time Machine backup iTunes and iPhoto as well?

    Does time machine also backup from iTunes and iPhoto libraries?
    Meaning that I don't need to separately backup those two?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Time Machine makes a backup of every file which is in your Mac hard drive, including your iPhoto and iTunes library (unless you have excluded them from the backup, which is not usual). However, you are free to make a second backup of them if you want.
