Leopard ok on MBP, but not on G5 - how to eject disk?

Having had a successful Leopard install on my MBP machine, I thought installation on my G5 twin processor would be a breeze - how wrong could I be? I've tried reinstalling (twice) and all I get is the dreaded blue screen on restarting. I can't even get back to install Tiger because I can't eject the Leopard disk - nothing seems to get rid of it. Any ideas?

OK, so back to the G5. I'm having similar issues with a quad G5. My (Intel) iMac installed flawlessly, and is running OK - no hiccups so far. But the G5 went into a tail spin. First time 'round it installed OK, but several of the applications wouldn't launch, or quit unexpectedly shortly after launch. It also seemed a bit slower than before and rather jumpy (Activity monitor was jumping all over the place). Not sure if there is an issue with Spotlight having to re-index everything and that's why we need to leave it alone for a day or so, or if there really are issues with some of the applications. The most frustrating to me is iTunes, because my iPhone is linked to this machine, and I can't update it.
I'll try booting from the install disk, repairing disc permissions, etc. and report back what I find. Meanwhile I have inadvertently started a second install of the OS (where are the utilities on the install disk anyway?) and am waiting for it to finish....

How to i transfer playlists from my iPod to iTunes? They are all on my iPhone but not on iTunes how do i get them on there?

How to i transfer playlists from my iPhone to iTunes? They are all on my iPhone but not on iTunes how do i get them on there?

iTunes will only transfer purchases back to your computer using the iTunes > File > Transfer purchases from XXX's iPhone. It will not transfer playlists or non-purchased songs.
Here is an application that will transfer playlists and non-purchases (from iTunes) songs. There is a free demo limited to 1,000 songs or you can buy the full featured version for $18.99. http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/

You can purchase a step-up upgrade from Microsoft for $99 for one install or $299 for all three at:
http:/http://www.microsoft.com/mac/upgrade-office-for-mac
This gets you an unlock key to open Outlook, which you will find is already in the Office folder, but locked.

Exactly where are you clicking, you need to be specific. For example, are you using the Dock, the Applications folder, Launchpad, etc. to attempt to start teh app? Also IOS 7.1.2 does not run on a Mac, what version of OS X is installed on your computer?

Ext HDD seen by 2011 MBP but not 2014 MBA

Hi all
My GF just unboxed a new 13" MBA. One of the models refreshed last week
She wants to set up fresh & just bring over some data from ext HDD's she used with her old MBP.
It is a 2Tb Seagate Drive (USB 3), which has an external power supply.
The drive is formatted into 2 partitions, a 1.5TB OSX Journaled and a 500Gb FAT-32 (for when she needs to transfer files to/from a PC).
The drive shows up fine on her MBP just fine. In Finder & Disk Utility.
However on the new MBA, there is no signs of it at all. Disk Utility & Finder shows nothing.
Both left & right USB ports on the new MBA work ok. I can see a different Western Digital (USB 2) powered ext. HDD no problems.
The Seagate drive LED lights up when plugged into the MBA and you can hear it spinning, it just won't show anywhere in the OS.
Any ideas brains trust?
I've done all the usual troubleshooting.
Could it be something to do with the firmware on the MBA needing upgrading?
Thanks, Luke

hi
typo mistake, what I meant to say is that your external HD is recognised by you old MBP and it is running in MBA but not shown (not being recognised as external USB) as you said that "The Seagate drive LED lights up when plugged into the MBA and you can hear it spinning, it just won't show anywhere in the OS." , have you checked that the power for the exHD on? because as I said ealier that I have ex HD imation 1 Tb used as backup for TimeMachine and someday forgot to turn on the power supply but when the exHD was plugged, the LED ON and I could hear the drive running, unfortunately not recognised by me MBP until I turned the power on. If the power is ON in your exHD then I suggest to contact apple customer service not the community only as you MBA is 2014 and under warranty

Title overlay works fine on MBP but not imac. Why?

Hello,
I have this problem with putting a title into FCPx that happens on my iMac but not on my MacBook Pro. I am hoping someone in here can explain to me why, and how to fix it. These are screenshots of the issue on my iMac, as well as screen shots of what it looks like when it's on my MacBook Pro, which is the way it's supposed to look.
The titles are .mov files with a transparent background.
iMac view - This is the original view on my timeline with NO title added
iMac view again - This is the view on my timeline when I put the title over my video on my iMac
MacBook Pro - It works perfectly on my MacBook Pro as can be seen here. This is the same exact frame as it is on my iMac.
FCPx is the most recently updated version on both. I just really need help with figuring out why it works on my macbook pro, my husband's macbook pro, but not my iMac. They are all the same version of FCPx.
Thanks so much,
K-

You must be using proxy media on the iMac.
The ProRes proxy codec does not support an alpha channel, so the transparent parts would be black, as you are getting.

On my mac i accidentally deleted all my documents and now i cant play my songs from itunes but can on my phone and my photos are there but when i open them they are not but i can see some on my iphone but not all. How do i get these back or are they lost?

At the AT&T store. Tried using iCloud but only 120 songs were transferred and when I access my iTunes account now it only shows 120 and not the 450 anymore that I purchased on my old phone. Tried to sync again from the phone to iTunes and it still not working.
I purchased everything under the same apple ID account I called apple support and spent almost 2 hours with tech support for assistance and we got disconected and they never called me back.
I'm at the point where I'm about to never purchase anything anymore from apple go to another company retrieve every single charge made on my bank account from iTunes and file a law suit against the company. It's being a week that I called for assistance and no one called me back to help me with this matter even after I responded a survey with a complaint about not getting a resolution to my problem.
If you could please help me I will appreciate, I'm out of the country now and can't stay on the phone for a long time.
I need to sell my old phone but as right now besides all my bank statements the old phone is the only evidence that I purchased the songs.

HT1351 when my iphone 5 is connected, i can't see the content in itunes library. when i have an older ipod plugged in, there is a button to view what's on the ipod but not iphone. how do i see the music stored on iphone 5 in itunes??

When i connect my iphone 5 to cpu, i cant figure out how to see the music held on phone. When I click the "iphone" icon, it pulls up the options (summary, info, music, apps, etc) but when i click music, it just gives sync options. When i plug in an older ipod, there's an option to see what's on the ipod but not with my iphone 5. how do i see the music stored on my iphone in itunes?

There is a OneClickdigital ereader available in the App Store. Download that to your iPod to read pdfs and books from the library. And you might need to download the OneClickdigital eaudio player to listen to audiobooks from the library. Once both are downloaded sync you iPod again to transfer them.

7th Gen iPod Classic was unplugged during sync, now it pops up in Windows Explorer, but not iTunes. How can I fix this?

Okay.
I have a Windows 7 x32 OS, and an 80gb Silver 7th Gen iPod Classic.
So, I bought an iPod used off of eBay and I recently decided that 80gb was a bit too much, so I was going to resell it on eBay and buy a smaller iPod.
While I was restoring it to set it back to factory settings, my computer shut off due to a power problem.
Now when I plug it in, I get a message from windows saying "You need to format the disk in drive :M before you can use it. Do you want to format it?"
It shows up in windows explorer as a Removable Disk, and it isn't being detected by iTunes. I plug it in the iPod says "Connected. Eject before disconnecting." with a symbol that it makes when it is syncing.
I've tried putting it in disk mode, and it still will not detect it.
Can somebody help me? I really don't want to be stuck with a broken iPod.
If anyone needs or wants any more information before they can advise, please feel free to tell me what you need to know and I will post it!
Thanks, and have a blessed day.

I sign in to iCloud with my iTunes login and it states that I have a valid iTunes login but not iCloud. How do I set up an iCloud login?

I am trying to sign into iCloud from my laptop Windows 7 computer! I sign into iCloud using my iTunes ID and Password. I get a message telling me, "This is a valid iTunes ID and password, but not for iCloud." So how do you sign into iCloud? I have no problem signing into iCloud from my Android device (Kindle). How do I sign into iCloud on my laptop computer?
Thank you in advance for your reply!

Your iTunes your username and password can be the same as your Apple ID. I suspect you have more than one Apple ID.
You can't merge IDs. You have to Sign out of an ID then Sign in with the other ID if you have purchased under two different accounts.
Confused? You aren't alone.

HT5858 In the control center I can change the mute or the rotation but not both. How do I fix this. In settings I can not uncheck both the mute and rotation lock.

In the control center I can change the mute or the rotation but not both. In the settings area therefore I can't uncheck the mute and rotation settings at the same time.

Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

Luke-bryan, welcome to the forum.
Here are some suggestions on what to check:
If you don't hear sound when playing a YouTube video, try these troubleshooting steps:
Adjust the volume on your computer and speakers.
Adjust the volume control located in the lower left corner of the YouTube video player.
Restart your browser.
Try turning up the volume for other video players (like Quicktime, Real Player, or Windows Media player).
If you still have no sound after completing the steps above, these additional tips may help:
Update your Flash Player to the latest version.
Allow third-party Flash content on your computer. Learn more by visiting Adobe’s help page.
Check any Antivirus and Firewall software to see if its blocking third-party Flash content.
Try these to see if any of them help.
