Keychain Issue...no idea what I'm doing. Help!

Hey All..
I am having a little trouble with my passwords. I have 2 mail accounts on my MBP. One is my .Mac mail and the other is my POP3 mail. For the past year or so everything has been fine (and the previous 2 years on my PB) But, yesterday I was messing around using "Main Menu" application cleaning up my computer.
I have never used it before so I was just trying to make some space by removing things. Anyway, did the following things:
Clean User Cache
Clean System Cache
Empty Browser Cahe
Clean Font Cache
Remove Corrupt Preferences
Clean All Logs
Remove Temporary Files
I did all of these and just wondered if any of this would have had an affect on my Mail. I also have MSN Messenger on my laptop and iChat and when I open them I am also now prompted for my password.
I went in to the mail preferences and sure enough on both accounts the password field is blank. So I filled them in the saved them. But on reopening the preferences the passwords are gone again. Please help as it's very frustrating. I started all this after a one-2-one training session in the Apple Store yesterday. Would love some help if anyone can spare the time. I'm not sure what I did but would love to undo it. Is there anyway I can go back?
Another user said that it would be a keychain problem and that I should use first aid. I tried "Verify" forst and it did so...no problem. Then repair but it still doesnt remember my passwords. Anyone got any idea if there is a tutorial online I can check out or indeed how to set my keychain to remember my passwords. I am a fairly useless Mac user even thugh I love them.
Many thanks..

I know it's at&t I'll try that In The morning thank you. I just assumed AT&T doesn't deal with this end of things that it would be apple. But your probably right. I have e mailed apple and they've not responded in 2 days. I wish there was a phone # you could call when your having trouble with I tunes. Thank you

Hello AdeShaw,
You may need to restart the computer, if you haven't done so already. Should that fail to resolve the issue, we've an article that can help resume the download.

Best Buy shouldn't be allowed steelbooks, as you guys haven't the foggiest idea what you are doing.

I swear everytime I try and go to get a steelbook from Best Buy it makes me hate Best Buy ever so much and never ever ever want to shop there because of how bad you handle this and have no idea what you are doing.
Wanted to preorder Ghost Rider and get the free steelbook but guess what they never even got them in and I checked everyday for a week after being told they were in transit on a Monday and by Wednesday was told they had been deleted by the system. Well one good thing came out of that now I don't even have to bother buying the movie at your store.
Wanted to get the Warner Brothers line of steelbooks that you just came out but guess what just like Ghost Riders none have showed up and everytime I ask I get well 12 our on order for that title and that title and that title.
OH BUT THEY DID SET UP THE DISPLAY THAT SAYS COLLECTIBLE STEELBOOK AND JUST GRABBED AMRAY VERSIONS OFF THE SHELF BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO FRAKING CLUE WHAT THEY ARE DOING, THIS DISPLAY MAKES YOUR STORE LOOK LIKE A BUNCH OF COMPLETE MORONS AND CLUELESS AND THEY WONDER WHY BEST BUY IS CLOSING STORES ITS BECAUSE THEY ARE RAN BY IDIOTS WHO COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS.

Aren't those Steelbooks officially out till like June 6th or something? And I worked in retail before. This may sound dumb, but sometimes they still want you to set up displays even before the items are received. You can't be mad cause they follow direction. They might of been told to fill in the space with items to look full. Honestly you're being upset for no good reason. Yeah, it sucks that you aren't seeing the items you want in stores. These are promo items so not every store will get it. Unless it's advertised in the ad, then you should be upset. If no store has any, order them online. From what I've seen, these extras are usually offered online too.sirdizzy wrote:
Really Best Buy can't take any culibility or credit for what goes on in their stores because they outsource it to another company rather they just make themself look like babooms by having something clearly labeled wrong and misleading on their floor.
Why put out a display that is clearly wrong and misleading, why when its pointed out to you by a customer does that same display remain on the floor (I took that picture yesterday not today and I informed an employee yesterday not today but it was still there today).

Help, i am trying to print my JPEG file that i created in photoshop at a photo lab but it is coming out like an X-ray. I have printed these files before so i have no idea what i am doing wrong.
Could it be something i have done in my settings?
or when i am saving the file to JPEG?

Basically you're approaching this the wrong way around. What you need is the extreme sections to be quieter, not louder. The problem with moving the lower end of the audio is that you'll move the noise floor too, and get what's generally referred to as a 'pumping' effect. So what you do is to use a compressor to tame the peaks, and leave the lower level sound alone. When you've done that, you amplify (or normalize to a level you can determine) the whole signal. So the noise floor will be higher, but constant and not pumping. 'Match Volume' is a completely different tool for setting the overall levels of different tracks so that they sound approximately the same - it doesn't even begin to do what you want.
If it's music you are treating, then I'd almost certainly use the multiband compressor, because you get less artefacts with this. You need to experiment with the threshold levels, and almost certainly not use a massive compression ratio - 3:1 or 4:1 should be sufficient (although it's hard to tell without actually hearing the audio). You can tell what it's doing at any given point because the downward meter indicates how hard it's working. In theory you can apply make-up gain with it as well, but personally I leave that until everything's treated and use the 'Normalize' tool to set an absolute max level.

I am having trouble exporting .raw files to an external storage device. Even though I export "original" they end up as jpeg files. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

I am having trouble exporting .raw files from my Mac Book Air to an external storage device. Even though I am exporting as "original" they are being exported as jpegs. Anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong?

Using the "original" setting is the correct way to do it. Select on of the photos and use the File ➙ Reveal in Finder ➙ Original menu option. That will take you to the file inside the library via the Finder. Confirm that what you see if the raw file.
If it is then try the following: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Need Help with FMS 3.5 - No Idea What I'm Doing!

Hi guys,
I am dying for some guidance here. I've been tasked with setting up a media server so that we can stream video. Problem is, I have no idea what I'm doing here and am confused by the documentation. Can somebody please walk me through how I would set up this server so that I can stream a video? The only thing I've been able to do so far is locate the "sample video player" and type in the address http://localhost/vod/test.flv in the STREAM URL: box. This works, but the video/sound is very choppy. Also, how does this relate to the Administration Console?
Thank you so much for your expertise! I truly appreciate it.

Start with http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/,
http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/install/, and
http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/cheatsheet/
Thank you! That's definitely helpful to start with, but I'm still nervous... I realize that this is a hefty upgrade that I'm attempting. What is going to be affected? I'm not terribly concerned about documents, but will I have to re-install programs and such?
I appreciate your help, thank you.

Did you already try to reset the sync history?
If you find that some of your data syncs to your device but you see an unexpected number of changes or modifications, you may need to reset your sync history. This causes iTunes to prompt to Merge or Replace information on the device when you next attempt to sync your information. To reset your Sync History:
Open iTunes.
From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
Click the Devices tab.
Click the Reset Sync History button.

HT5706 Help!! First of all I am a senior and have no idea what I am doing. Turned on the Apple TV and it said downloading the latest update. It show the apple symbol and below a empty download line. Nothing seems to be happening. Is it downloading?

Help!! First of all I am a senior and have no idea what I am doing. Turned on the Apple tv and it said downloading the lastest -cannot remember the rest.
There was a Apple symbol and a dowmload space under it. Nothing is happening. It has been about 25 minutes. What do I do??

It probably did not turn itself off. It most likely went into "sleep".
Did you try to restart the Apple TV? That is what solved the problem for me.
Go to the main AppleTV menu - you might have to press the Menu button a couple of times to get there - select Settings, then Select General, scroll down to Restart and select that.
As long as you don't have a "Do not unplug" message on your screen, unplugging the power cable, waiting a minute, then plugging it back in should accomplish the same thing. I always prefer using the menu method over unplugging.
If that doesn't work, I fear you might have to contact Apple. They will likely tell you to restore your AppleTV to factory settings. That will be a pain in the neck since they will need to walk you through it. They might do that for you at an Apple store. I'm a senior citizen too, and it's easy for me to look helpless - even though I've worked in computers and networking for a very long time.
Sorry I can't offer any better advice.

I've just updated my Itunes to the newest update (iso7 I think) and now my itunes won't even open. It just jumps 2-3 times on my dock then doesn't open. I have no idea what to do , please help!

I've just updated my Itunes to the newest update (iso7 I think) and now my itunes won't even open. It just jumps 2-3 times on my dock then doesn't open. I have no idea what to do , please help!

Open Finder. Go to the "Go" menu in the menu bar. Press and hold Control and click on Library. Go to "Preferences". Find a file named, "com.apple.iTunes.plist" and delete that file. This won't delete your iTunes content. It will reset iTunes. Try it again.

I backup up my iphone but didnt include password, and now want to restore new handset from backup and keep asking for password but has no idea what it is, pls help

Hi all, i backup up iphone in itunes but not realised it was password protected and now want to restore new handset from backup but keep asking me for password but no idea what it was,, pls help...

You are someone had to put a check in the box to encrypt your iPhone backup.
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password you can continue to do backups and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you will have to do a full software restore and when prompted by iTunes to select the backup to restore from, choose Set up as a new device.

HT1473 I am attempting to import my CD's but I'm finding some songs and albums are not being accepted. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

After attempting to import music from CD's I am seeing that some of the tracks are not listed in my iTunes library and in some cases, whole albums are missing. Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong or how to correct?

Now that we've established that you have the CD correctly imported into iTunes, we can move on from there.
Connect the iPod to iTunes. When it shows up as a Device (in the left window of iTunes) select it. You will be looking at the Summary tab (or pane).
On this pane, my choice is to have the option to Sync only ticked songs and videos selected. I recommend this option for you. This is relevant to the next step.
At the top of the pane select Music. On this pane, check the options for Syncing. You need to have Sync Music selected and then choose either Selected Playlists (which will only put your choice of Playlists onto your iPod) or Entire Music Library. If you select "Entire Music Library" then all your songs (one exception) will be transferred to your iPod.
The exception is: if you un-tick a song in your iTunes Library, then at the next Sync, it will be removed from the iPod but kept in your Library.
Any luck?
