Mac doesn't show Ipod icon and doesn't open ITunes automatically

I really look for a good advice to solve this problem, the 2 Gb device is property of my 11 y.o. daughter.
The IPod Nano is two months old (Christmas), set up and installation went ok at the time. It works properly. Tonight I connected it to one of the Usb ports of my Mac Mini dual core but nothing happened. No icon, no ITunes opening.
ITunes is version 7.02 .
Thanks for help,
Spincervino

Is it appearing on your computer's Finder?

Hi Lax561,
Welcome to discussions ...
I can see that Safari is NOT in the Dock ...
Did you check out if Safari is still in the Application folder ?? open Finder an go to the application folder.
If it's still there than you can drag a copy to the Dock.
Do the following ... Select Safari icon an hold down the mouse an the Option key ad the same time while dragging to the Dock. During dragging you will see a + (plus) next to the Safari icon.
Place the Safari icon in the Dock where you like it, next to the Fire Fox icon is maybe the best place to put it.
Post back with the results ...

Apple TV doesn't show main menu and cannot connect to iTunes store

I've been using my Apple TV almost everyday for the past week and i've had it for awhile and all of the sudden it only shows the "computer" and "settings" buttons. It looks like it's connected to the internet because it has an IP address, but it still doesn't show any of the usual buttons on the main menu. When I go to test network it says "cannot connect to itunes store," and says the same when I put in my username and password. I just entered same same username and password in my itunes with no issues so I know the username and password are correct. I've restarted my apple tv a couple of times. I tried to restore it and it says "the update was not successful. The apple tv update couldn't download at this time. Try again later." Agh! I don't know what else to do! Any suggestions are appreciated!!!! Thanks!

A reboot will reset the connection to the network, as those 2 icons are the only ones that don't require an internet connection they are the only ones that will show up in the event of such an issue.

Mac wont play videos on safari and will not open itunes

imac will not open itunes or run videos on safari.

Hello,
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying to open iTunes.
Are these Flash Videoes?
Out-of-date versions of Adobe Flash Player do not include the latest security updates and will be disabled to help keep your Mac secure. If Safari 5.1.7 or Leopard Security Update 2012-003 detects an out-of-date version of Flash Player on your system, you will see a dialog informing you that Flash Player has been disabled. The dialog provides the option to go directly to Adobe's website, where you can download and install an updated version of Flash Player.
Additional Information
If you need to re-enable an out-of-date version of Flash Player, you can do the following:
    1.    Navigate to the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (Disabled) folder.
    2.    Drag "Flash Player.plugin" into /Library/Internet Plug-Ins.
    3.    If the browser is running, quit and restart it.

Has anyone found a fix to the code on Google Toolbar (NOT a Google search box) to make it work with Firebox 9.0.1? my tool bar doesn't show any icons and says its not compatible. I've tried to fixes to no avail.

Firefox verson: 9.0.1
Google Toolbar version:
I've tried two fixes:
1. Went to Firefox Profiles at AppData >Roaming > Mozilla> Firefox > Profiles > Default Profile > Extensions and look for the directory where the Google Toolbar is installed. Mine is located at {3112ca9c-de6d-4884-a869-9855de68056c} directory.
Changed the maxversion to 10. Find this line <em:maxVersion>4.0.*</em:maxVersion> to <em:maxVersion>10.*</em:maxVersion>\
2. Went to Lib dircotry and opened up the file toolbar.js with a text editior and replaced all www.google.com/accounts WITH: accounts.google.com

You can turn off compatibility checking, but more and more of the Google Toolbar will not work. Google is no longer supporting the Google Toolbar so you should use the alternatives.
Hi Mark,

HT201343 My Mac book pro all of a sudden doesn't have the airplay icon and doesn't work with my Apple TV . Why ?

My Mac book pro all of a sudden doesn't have the airplay icon and doesn't work with my Apple TV . Why ?

The Airplay icon will not display if the OS is unable to locate any Airplay devices.
I would check that both devices are connected to the same network and maybe even power cycle the network devices - eg router etc
Maybe even try to connect both devices to another network like an iPhone personal Hotspot and see if that helps to isolate the problem

I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail is not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice

I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail are not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice. Yesterday, the signatures were stacking instead of switching to the one I wanted to choose.

I had this and fixed it.
I had upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures in Mail were fine. But then about a week later, I got a new computer and used Migration Assistant to copy my stuff to the new machine. Upon opening Mail, I had all the correct Signature information in the Preferences>Signatures window, but nothing worked.
After lots of hunting, I found the Signature Folder. It's in:
Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
Looking at my previous setup (which works) I saw in that folder two types of files: .webarchive and .siganture
Looking in my new machine's Signature folder, I saw only the .webarchive folders, not the .signature folders
Since this was literally a clone of my previous setup to a new machine, here's what I did:
1. Quit Mail
2. In Problem machine, go to
Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
3. Move the Signatures folder someplace safe, but out of the MailData folder
4. Get the Signatures Folder from the working install (like a backup) and copy it to the MailData folder on the problematic machine
5. Start Mail on the problem machine
This worked for me. I don't know why Migration Assistant didn't copy the full signature folder, but this fixed it. It worked perfectly partly because I had just backed up with Carbon Copy Cloner and the very next day set up the new machine. I don't know where Lion or earlier versions of mail stored signatures, but the absence of the .signature filetype seems to be the problem.
Hope this helps

TS3297 I don't get an error message. the thing just hangs up or doesn't show the store and when I go to listen to a song it found,it won't play it or allow me to purchase songs.

My ITunes doesn't show an error message,it just doesn't show the store and when I can search and it finds the song,I can't play it or buy it.

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

TS1286 At my PC startup, I get an error message "AppleSyncNotifier.exe--Entry Point Not Found" My iPhone now doesn't show up as a Device in either iTunes or My Computer on my PC. I've uninstalled/ reinstalled iTunes & run diagnostics-no luck. Ideas?

At my PC startup, I get an error message "AppleSyncNotifier.exe--Entry Point Not Found" My iPhone now doesn't show up as a Device in either iTunes or My Computer on my PC. I've uninstalled/ reinstalled iTunes & run diagnostics-no luck. Ideas?

I think my problem is fixed now.
For the fun of it, I reinstalled iTunes 9.2.1 today (using the exact same installer as I did yesterday), but this time I didn't uninstall iTunes first. As expected, iTunes recognized my iPhone (as I expected it to, until my next reboot).
A few minutes later, Software Update showed up and among the updates is "iPhone SDK Compatibility Update". The description indicates that installing this should fix an issue where iPhones and iPod touches aren't recognized by iTunes. Isn't that interesting?
I installed that update and most of the others waiting for me (including Java, Safari 5.0.1, and a few others - not 10.6.4 though, due to the issues with nVidia graphics cards). After the reboot, I started iTunes, and it saw my iPhone!
So, if you're having this same problem, I'd recommend tracking down this update and see if that does the trick for you. Hopefully it will.

IPhoto doesn't recognize .jpg files and can't open it. What may I do now?

iPhoto doesn't recognize .jpg files and can't open it. What may I do?

a common problem is that you don't have permission to upload those files, but it is an easy fix
1) Finder
2) Users(it should have the account name on it)
3) pictures
4) right click on iphoto library then click info
5 on the bottom of the new window there should be a sharing and permissions tab
6) make sure you have permission to read & write
The only other problem I can think is that you are having problems with hard drive space. if so you might want to clean up your hard drive to free up some space. please let me know if that worked for you.

Set "always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar" via Group policy

Any ideas on how to set "always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar" on a set of users?
I thought it would be under User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar, but I cannot find it.
Anyone know if this can be enforced via policy?

Hello,
Thank you for your post here.
Unfortunately, there is not any group policy settings which can set "always show all icons and notifications on the
taskbar".
To distribute the setting, you can create a default domain user profile and copy it to the following network share.
When the domain user account is first logged onto the domain, the default profile will be applied.
\\<Server_name>\NETLOGON\Default User.v2
How to customize default user profiles in Windows 7 and in Windows Server 2008 R2

This would only apply if a new profile is created, not for existing ones.
