Macbook Pro running 10.6.8 and I can't update itunes as it freezes everything! It's open at 'determining gapless playback information' Please help! I've downloaded Combo and it has not help, and have had to force quit on the Mac each time I've tried!
Please help! I have already tried to use the Combo update, which I downloaded today but it has not help. Itunes then freezes at the point of 'determining gapless playback information,' no idea what to do next, please help!!
Deirdre_N,
you can download the latest iTunes (as of this writing) directly from Apple’s servers here. If you’re already running 10.6.8, then there’s no need to redownload the Combo update; iTunes is an independent download.

Have a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 Leopard. Can I just download 10.6.8 Snow Leopard so I can wifi sync with iPhone and iPad?
To expand on Niels post...
First you need to check that your current Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Specs:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If it does... then you need to Purchase and Install the Snow Leopard Disc,
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
( It should be noted that Apple will send paid MobileMe members the Mac OS X 10.6 DVD for free.) -
Can't access the "Apple" icon in upper main menu to shutdown my MacBook Pro running 10.6.8! Also can't open a new finder window and main menus such as File and Edit are sluggish to open or don't open at all. Doesn't happen each time I attempt to shutdowCan't
There are some keyboard commands (shortcuts) you can use instead of having to go to the Apple menu -
Control-Eject This brings up the Restart-Sleep-Cancel-Shutdown window.
Command-Option-Eject This puts the machine to sleep.
Command-Control-Eject This closes all apps and restarts the machine.
Command-Option-Control-Eject This closes all apps and shuts the machine down. -

Haven't been able to use itunes for at least 2 months now. I went to upload a newly downloaded album and now itunes freezes on "determining gapless playback information" every single time! Then i have to hard reset my mac every time as well, which i have done a good 30+ times now. Someone please help me out, it would be much appreciated. i just want to listen to my music again. Apple support is useless and just want money when it's there fault it has happened anyway by applying that useless 'determining' non sense. Please help!

I have a dialog box in Mac OS calendar that says "moving calendars to server account. It has totally locked up the Calendar app. I have forced quit, restarted the Mac as well as Calendar but I can't use Calendar at all. How can I restore Calendar?
No one have any idea as to what's going on with my issue?
A lot of people do, if you take a look at the More Like This widget on the right side of this page.
Try signing out and back in to iCloud in System Preferences. -
I often travel abroad and my host has changed Internet provider. Then my service was interrupted and I can't update iTunes. Any tips to stop the error messages?
Wow! At least on Apple TV, problem solved. Apple: what's not to love? Please give me credit if you use it in marketing campaigns... ;-)

My MacBook Pro recognizes which of my three printers is plugged in (USB), but can it automatically use that printer or do I have to select that printer from the list each time I switch between printers?

ITunes 11.1.3 did not solve "Determining Gapless Playback Information" bug
The solutions here on forum are outdated (as "Get Info" – "Information" – uncheck "Part of gapless album") because we no longer have this feature, described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1797?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
I'm a little worried about that bug because it grows every music added (+1000 musics at this time for me).
What I already tested on Lion (and with no success):
• "Get Info" music – "Options" – check "Skip when shuffling"
• "File" – "Create new version" – "Create AAC version"
• "Consolidate library" when album/musics selected
• Remove album and put it again
I can only stop this bug pressing "x" on iTunes display. But the list is growing.
Do you have any tip?FINALLY!! THE SOLUTION:
1. Close iTunes.
2. Move the selected files at username/music/itunes to your desktop:
3. Run iTunes. iTunes will start as if it was the first time. All your preferences, musics, books, apps will not appear at this time (do not worry). If you find any problem just put all files that you move to your desktop again on username/music/itunes
4. Click on 'Files' and select 'Library' and 'Import Library'. Choose: iTunes Library.xml at your desktop. (you can say "But this library was a mess!" Do not worry, iTunes will fix it).
5. iTunes will import data from that file. For me it spends 5-10 minutes depend on the size of your library (my library has 50gb with 10.000 musics).
6. After that you will see the annoying message on iTunes display: "Determining Gapless Playback Information" and much more musics than before (do not worry, it will be the last time that you will see it).
7. iTunes will do that and it is done. No more bugs.
8. Now you say: "Where is my apps, books, movies etc.?" Do not worry. Just move the folder at 'Itunes Media' (see image above) to iTunes, I mean, move folder "Books" to iTunes on 'Books'; move 'Home Video' folder to iTunes Movie; move 'Mobile Applications' to iTunes applications.
9. Close iTunes. Run it. Smile!
Considerations:
a. consider all your library is indexed, it means, all your music is organized at username/music/itunes/itunes media/music
b. consider you have to select again visualization mode for every music list.
Tested and works on iTunes 11.3.1 and Lion -
I could not get out of my Yahoo home page in Safari on my Imac. I had to force quit but when i opened back up the little light under the Safari icon was still on and when i tapped icon I was right back to the Yahoo page which would not close. Any ideas???
Quit Safari (by force if necessary.) Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. That will stop the page from reloading automatically.

I notice alot that when I click on app icon in the dock and choose 'Quit', the application does not quit. I eventually have to go to Force Quit to make it close. Any idea as to why this happening and how to avoid it?
Hello,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Does that change anything? -
Late 2011 MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion with app: "iMac EFI Firmware update"
I have an app on my MacBook Pro late 2011 model, by the name "iMac EFI Firmware update" that my computer says is useless... can I uninstall it using CleanMyMac without corrupting my OS Mountain Lion or simply dragging it to the garbage?
You can delete it. Just drag it to the Trash and this installer will be removed. As you have already installed this update, you don't need the installer anymore on the hard drive

Yes you may need to upgrade it to Snow Leopard. Do a search on the Apple Store site, Store Link Above on this page, for Snow Leopard and from that you can order it. -

Why does my pc not see my new HP 6520 unless I reconnect the printer each time I need to use it?
New HP 6520 is driving me mad. It remains connected to my wi-fi solidly all the time, but my HP notebook (Windows 7) cannot see it unless and until I go through the wireless setup on the printer using the same IP etc.
I have added the HP printer software to the firewall (Norton) traffic rules and added its IP address to my router, to no avail. Otherwise it remains invisible to the rest of the network, which is a huge, huge pain.
Bottom line - I cannot print or scan or use the printer, despite the fact that it remains solidly connected to my network unless I reconnect it from the printer control panel. Seldom have I come across a more user unfiendly piece of kit and would much appreciate someone giving me a steer as to making the darned thing work as it should.And that, dear cns518, is exactly what I am going to do and never again think of HP when it comes to buying a printer. My son, very experienced, runs his own internet business and he had a go and got it working for a while and then, without reason it stopped again and has reverted to 'you want to print matey?, ,Then best you turn off Wi-FI and then back on again and I might think about it'.
The printer mechanics seem good, but what is the point of such a useless software setup that none seem able to get right. Am off to the store from whence it came tomorrow, so bye-bye HP 6520 and over to something that will work out of the box.
