  • My iTunes says there are 17 songs it cannot locate. How do I locate which songs these are without clicking on each song in my whole library?

    My iTunes says there are 17 songs it cannot locate. How do I locate which songs these are without clicking on each song in my whole library?

    To locate all of the broken links in your library try:
    Lost & Found Playlists
    Create a regular playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist (it may take some time to count the tracks that are to be dropped). Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist. They can be deleted with Ctrl+A to select them and then Shift+Delete to discard them.
    The exercise can be repeated with different media sources if needed.
    Or try iTunes Folder Watch with its option to check for dead tracks on startup.

    I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? I have tried to shut my laptop off and let it rest and I have also re-started my wifi router three different times. Someone please help me with this problem so I can begin to use my laptop again as I take it to school and use it for class.
    Thanks so much!

    FCP, and all software on OSX, has a few different "preference" files (the extension is .plist), which store all your user settings. Each time you resize a window, change a setting, anything, this file is re-written. Kinda easy to see how they would become corrupt every now and then.
    -Close FCP
    -Navigate to User>Library>Preferences and delete com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
    -Navigate to User>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data and delete Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs
    -Empty your trash
    Relaunch FCP and see if that worked.
    Download FCP Rescue to make this process easier in the future. When you have FCP running really smooth, open FCP Rescue and create a backup of your preference files. If it starts acting wanky, just run FCP Rescue and Restore your backup preferences. Works really slick, and it's free.
    EDIT: Or use the really simple explaination that X posted as I was typing.

    All the emails in my Hotmail inbox on my iPad2 disappear after 3 days.  Also, although my folders are listed on the iPad, there are no emails in the folders.  How do I fix this?  All the emails appear on my computer.

    You can sync Hotmail via Microsoft Exchange. It will mirror your email account on your phone so that the account will look just like the one on your computer. Here are the instructions:

  • We are losing memory from the hard drive, how can we resolve this issue?

    We are currently have a memory leakage from our hard drive.  We have an Apple imac running snow leopard.   The memory appears to shrink as we use our computer..  This is a conundrum for us, any advice on how to resolve this issue would be appreciated..

    This is normal.   Mac OS X dynamically assigns memory as needed.    If you are down to the last 15% of free space, this can get out of hand, and I recommend keeping your hard drive clean of non-essential files*:

  • I can't purchase / download apps because it says there's an issue with previous purchase. How can I fix this?

    HHow do I fix this?

    The 'problem with a previous purchase' message implies that iTunes wasn't able to collect the money for your last purchase - until that is paid you won't be able to download anything else from the store, including free items, updates to apps and redownloading past purchases.
    You will have to enter payment details that are accepted by the iTunes validation, or (and if they are available in your country) redeem an iTunes gift card onto your account : Pay an unpaid balance in the iTunes Store - Apple Support

  • How do I find all the purchased items on my iPhone? When I try to update the iPhone iOS while connected to my MacBook it says there are purchased items on the phone that have not been transferred to my iTunes library and that I should transfer them.

    How do I find all the purchased items on my iPhone? When I try to update the iPhone iOS while connected to my MacBook it says there are purchased items on the phone that have not been transferred to my iTunes library and that I should transfer them before updating.

    Thanks. This seems to have worked easily.

  • Only have 3 devices authorized, but my new computer will not authorize. Itune says there are 5 devices connected already. why?

    only have 3 devices authorized, but my new computer will not authorize. Itune says there are 5 devices connected already. why?

    Perhaps the five includes computers that you no longer own, or a computer that has had a replacement hard drive put in it.
    In your iTunes account, De-authorise All and then authorise the computer(s) that you still use.

  • A few months back I Dropped my iPhone 4 and I cracked my screen and now i cant unlock my phone due to touchscreen not working plus there are blured lines across the screen and I can't see anything that it displays. Now when I try too connect my iPhone 4 t

    A few months back I Dropped my iPhone 4 and I cracked my screen and now i cant unlock my phone due to touch screen not working plus there are blurred lines across the screen and I can't see anything that it displays.
    Now when I try too connect my iPhone 4 to iTunes on my computer at home an error message comes up saying that I have to unlock my iPhone 4 for it to communicate to my device.
    But the problem is that I can't unlock my iPhone 4 because I'm unable to see the key pad and my touch screen no longer responds when I touch it.
    I just want to reset my iPhone 4 back to its Factory Settings & start all over from the beginning.
    How can I unlock my iPhone 4 with iTunes on my computer or any other option you suggest me trying.
    Thank you in advance,
    SiHero

    If you have had a "local guy "repair your iphone you will not get any support from Apple for warranty OR post warranty
    If Verizon return it to Apple it wil not be handled by Apple
    If Verizon also use unauthorised repairers you may be lucky
    (Apple do not sell parts to local guys or anyone else )

  • When i try submitting my RSS feed for a podcast itunes says we are experiencing technical difficulties...... why is this and when will it be fixed?

    when i try submitting my RSS feed for a podcast itunes says we are experiencing technical difficulties...... why is this and when will it be fixed?

    Well, I can't see any problem with the feed, and the episode media file is correctly referenced and plays. Incidentally you do have a 'copyright' tag - it says 'Wippenberg'.
    When a podcast feed is rejected, corrected and resubmitted there is a minor bug in the Store which causes you to be told that the podcast has already been submitted (which is true but irrelevant - it's really meant to prevent duplicates). To get round this you need to make a small change to the title - for example you could add a hyphen and space before 'Podcast'. You can always change it back once it's been accepted.
    The other issue might be the content. The reason given for rejection tends to be technical issues, whatever the actual reason is. I haven't listened to your podcast, so I can't comment directly. Possible reasons for rejection are unacceptable content, sexual content or strong language when the 'explicit' tag is not said to 'yes', and copyright infringement: a lot of people fall over this one by including 'mixes' or indeed full plays of commercially issued recordings without having written permission from the copyright owners or alternatively a valid Podcast Licence (not available in all countries, possibly only the USA). I have no idea whether this might be an issue with yours.

  • I've bought and downloaded music from itunes, but the ends of almost all my songs are cut off and will not play, how can I fix this?

  • HT1296 I all ready installed itunes to my pc, which is a windows 7. It says it syncs, but it doesnt transfer nothing from my iphone to the computer. How can I fix this issue

    I all ready installed itunes to my pc, which is a windows 7. It says it syncs, but it doesnt transfer nothing from my iphone to the computer. How can I fix this issue

    And it won't by design and intention since you are not syncing your iPhone with your iTunes library on your computer. 
    If you have authorized the computer with your iTunes account with iTunes, with your iPhone connected - at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.  
    For contacts and calendar events, is Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 available?
