ITunes looking for a drive that doesn't exist

Each time I boot up my PC I receive a box stating iTunes-import.exe - No Disk. It then asks me to insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk4\DR4. Is there a way to stop iTunes looking for this non-exixtant drive when it starts up, or am I going to have to uninstall iTunes?

I am not sure that I got the wireless instructions correct. I opened the window to connect to a wireless network and instead of typing in a name I just typed in a dash. This caused my Airport icon to be grayed out. I then rejoined our office network by turning off and then restarting Airport.
For the ethernet connection, I did as instructed and then tested by turning off the Airport on the computer so I was only connected using ethernet.
Neither of these worked and the computer still searches for the same IP address.

Itunes authorization for an account that doesn't exist?

My new MacBook is asking for an Itunes store authorization for a particular song under an account name that doesn't exist. My apple ID is an old e-mail address; I've already successfully authorized the computer to play songs from that account, into which I can log in with no difficultly. The account name that is supposedly attached to this song is a newer e-mail address (maybe I unsuccessfully tried to change the Apple ID at some point?), but when I click on "forgot password" in the authorization window, it says that the account for which it had prompted me to authorize doesn't exist. Suggestions?

My intel iMac keeps searching for a drive that doesn't exist.

My intel iMac opens a window saying it cannot find a drive with the IP address of 10.0.1.196 which, ot the best of my knowledge doesn't exist. The address is always the same, even after reprovisioning our entire system from modem to all the computers we have. The window will come up after a restart but before I have our server selected, but it will also pop up at almost any time. When it does, after clicking OK, it will reappear every few seconds for 5-10 times then stop. Very aggrevating because the window puts whatever I am doing in the background and I must click the OK and close the window before proceding with my work. Any way to stop this?

Is there a (relatively simple) way to skip tracks with an iPod touch 5th gen using a physical button? I'm aware songs can be skipped on-screen without unlocking the iPod, but I'm looking for a method that doesn't require taking my eyes off the road.

Is there a (relatively simple) way to skip tracks with an iPod touch 5th gen using a physical button? I'm aware songs can be skipped on-screen without unlocking the iPod, but I'm looking for a method that doesn't require taking my eyes off the road while driving. For that reason, I'm also not interested in adding in headphones or additional devices that have the desired button functions. Going both forward and back would be great but I would be pleased just to have a "sight-free" way to go forward.
I've seen some mention here and there about ways to maybe change it so the volume buttons change tracks and holding the volume buttons changes the volume... but I don't know what's involved in that or if its even possible/recommended for a new 5th gen iPod. I think its a great device but its sadly lacking in music oriented functions and features... which is disappointing since music is why most people would bother getting one instead of some other "iDevice" :/

Given that you cannot do what you have asked for, perhaps you simply need to find another solution to your root problem.
Presumably, you want to skip to the next track because you don't want to hear the current one, and that is because...
You don't like it.
You've heard it recently and don't want to hear it now.
Simply don't want to hear it at this time.
For problem number 1. Don't put it on the iPod in the first place. (I know, obvious answer!)
For problem number 2. How about playing from a Smart Playlist (initially created in your iTunes Library) which has only songs you've not played recently?
For problem number 3. Hhhmmm! Create alternative Playlists for use in the car.
As for going back to the start of the "now playing" track.... Well, if your Playlist has only songs that you really, really want to hear, then you'll be looking forward to that rather go back to the beginning of the current song.
I'm not trying to be prescriptive, just giving you food for thought.
(They are all cheaper options than buying a car which can control the iPod from the steering wheel.)

System keeps looking for a 'server' that does not exist. Is says the old name of my Airport Extreme. Clicking it away (4x) it gets through.

Other weirdness to report: my neighbor upstairs appears to have a Linksys router network on channel 6. My AEBS is on channel 1 so there shouldn't be interference... but according to iStumbler sometimes the signal leaps to 64000 (keep in mind my own Airport never tops 60)! Is that potentially the problem?
Might it be possible that your neighbor just acquired a 802.11n (pre-N) wireless router recently?
802.11n effectively increases capacity by doubling the number of Wi-Fi radios and increasing the number of antennas used to push signals out of those radios. 802.11n splits a data frame into multiple pieces. It then transmits these pieces in parallel using multiple radios that are attached to multiple antennas. These antennas blast out signals from virtually the same vantage point – scattering the signals everywhere.
You may find the following ZDNet article interesting: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/?p=247
Even if he did not, and you are on good terms, you might want to ask if he can temporarily turn off his wireless, or, at least, reduce the signal strength to see if that will help in your situation.

IDVD is looking for a server that no longer exists...

When I try to start iDVD it goes out to look for media on a shared drive that no longer exists... How can I make iDVD forget about that drive?

Hi
I would start with - trashing the iDVD Preference file
iDVD pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.

Hi I have copied over my iTunes to a new PC and now there are songs missing and when try to re download on iTunes it says play. When you hit play it sends you off to search for a file that doesn't exist. When syncing it says 100 issues Help please

Hi,
I have just put my iTunes on a new laptop by hard drive method and some songs are not there. When I go into iTunes it's doesn't say download or purchase it says play.
So you press play and it opens a separate box saying search for file which isn't there.
I have read tons of stuff re this but still not got it fixed. It's not a HD issue because iTunes won't let me download it why ?
Hopefully someone can help
Thanks David

Hey Davidl678,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are unable to download the purchases from your purchase history, because iTunes believes the songs to be in your library. It may be necessary to delete the items from your library, then re-download from your purchase history. Before doing so, you may want to take note of which song are available for re-download:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Delete songs, playlists, or other items
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12359
iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store

Thanks,

TS1702 Find My iPhone asks for an AppleID that doesn't exist

I downloaded the Find My iPhone app, and installed it. All went well with no problems.
When I launch the app, it wants to register with iTunes.   This makes sense, so I start the process.   I enter my AppleID, which is NOT an email address. (There is a valid email address associated with the AppleID; I receive email updates and junk mail from Apple very well).
This is the problem - the app insists that I enter an AppleID that is an email address.   This does not exist for me, and hasn't since I have had my account, which is now many years ago - not sure how many, but I have had 3 iPhones, 2 iPods, and an Apple TV with this account, so has to be more than 8 years. Find my iPhone insists that the email must be entered. But if I try to use the email that's associated with my account, that doesn't work either - no association to a valid password, I am assuming.
The app can't seem to adapt to the paradigm that an AppleID doesn't have to be an email.   I don't want to change my account name - it is used too many places to be changed easily.
Which brings us to the next problem. I am assuming that this forum is a user forum, based on the "apple Support Community" header. How does one enter a software bug to get this fixed????
I hope htis goes to the right community - there is no iPhone App community. Please move it if needed.

Chris -
Thanks for your reply. In my original post, I did make the assumption that this was not an Apple support group. I even have asked how to get in touch with Apple support, and where I could find information on when the changes were made and why, and was told not to bother.
The ehing that bothers me is that changing my id effects many places where this is used. How can I be sure I have them all, and what kind of implications does this have? I think the short answer here is "Your guess is as good as mine."   Do you have any idea?   That probably fits the definition of a silly question, since you and all of the others here have no idea which apps I have, where dependencies are, and what the impacts would be if I missed one.
My goal here would be to either have Apple explain to me why this was a required change, or at least provide assistance with doing the changes, instead of just pointing me to a web page where I can make the changes myself, and then see what kind of fallout insues. In many cases with other vendors I have been able to at least submit "bug reports" and get a response - perhaps not to my liking, but at least a considered response.
Many forums such as these have company employees that track what is going on on user forums such as these. Is that the case here?
Again, I want to thank you for your response. Any help that can be provided is appreciated.

Iphoto keeps crashing because it is looking for a movie which doesn't exist

Every time i open Iphoto, it says that it is looking for *.avi but it can't be opened because the original item can't be found. Then it crashes and I have to force quit. I didn't reference or delete this file, I haven't even viewed it in a while. Now I am totally locked out. Please help.

Try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

I'm trying to download updates to iTunes but it's downloading to an external drive that doesn't exist - how do I change the file download path?

error message says "Invalid Drive"

Perhaps try the following user tip with that one:
"Invalid Drive X:\" install errors

I redeemed an iTunes code to an email that doesn't exist...

When I was registering my sister's Apple ID via the redeeming option (because if you don't have an iTunes card, you have to redeem through the credit card option, and she doesn't have one), I typed a wrong number in her email address, creating one that most likely didn't exist, and I didn't notice it until it sent the verification. I didn't get an option to change the email address or anything, and now I can't redeem the code under the real email address, what should I do?

Click here and ask.

My finder window is showing an external drive that doesn't exist.

It is empty, but I can't eject it because it says it's in use, even though I have no applications open or other drives plugged in. Does anyone know what this is and how I can get rid of it? Thanks.

Deleting Review for an app that doesn't exist anymore.

So I went in to remove a review on an app, using "Manage my reviews". It went smooth. But lo-and-behold, in Ping the review is still there. I try to "Report A Concern". Then I get a "Request Cannot be completed, this item is not available in the US store."
Anything else I can try?

Ok. It seems like it got fixed. I guess slow propagation through the system.
Good to know.

TS1398 Network asking for username that doesn't exist

I'm trying to use a coffee house wifi with my new iPad 4 mini. It's asking for a username that doesn't exist. Thoughts?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
 Cheers, Tom

I purchased Elements 13 for my Imac that doesn't have a DVD drive. How can I install it without buying a DVD drive? I would like to also install it on my MacBook Pro. Do I have to buy a second version.
