MAJOR issues all of a sudden, very upset.

I have itunes on my desktop. I mainly use a laptop. I have an Ipod touch.Here are my issues:
1. Last night I buy 3 songs through my Ipod touch wifi connection insted of booting up the desktop. I had a balance of like $7.80 before I bought the 3 songs at $1.29 each. After i download the songs it says I have a balance of $.77. Nice math there, I should have like $3.83 balance. I want to know where Apple came up with that.
2. Then I find out I can't add the songs I bought that way to any playlist I have through the Ipod. I have to open Itunes and mannually download the songs again and add it to the playlists in Itunes and sync the Ipod. But when I update to itunes 10, the songs I bought through the Ipod are not there. When I click on "check downloads" it says everything I bought have been downloaded, but those 3 songs are not listed anyplace in itunes.
Why can't you add songs to any playlist through the ipod? Why do you have to go through itunes? I thought technology was suposted to make things easier, not harder.
3. So then I think maybe if I sync my ipod to itunes it will see the songs I bought and add them. Now after I update to Itunes 10 my computer does not reconize when I plug the Ipod in all of a sudden.
I'd like these things resolved ASAP.

I have also had problems. I imported a cd and the track names are in order but the songs are not. All are brought in but names don't match the songs playing!
Apple Please fix soon!
A friend can not import any CDs! Thanks for the "upgrade" Apple!

I bougnt my S5 a month ago and I am having two major issues. The screen is very slow to respond. When the screen is dark and I press the home button, it doesn't come on. I have to press the button anywhere from 4-10 times and then it usually flashes on

I bougnt my S5 a month ago and I am having two major issues. The screen is very slow to respond. When the screen is dark and I press the home button, it doesn't come on. I have to press the button anywhere from 4-10 times and then it usually flashes on and back off. It is very, very frustrating. The other issue is that the battery drains very quickly. I have called Verizon numerous times regarding these issues. They tell me to do different things that never help. We eventually did a factory reset and it still has the same issues. Help! It is a brand new phone and unfortunately I am in a new two year contract. Ugh. Is there anyone out there who can help me?

I have done that several times. In fact, every time I call Verizon with my phone problems, they have me do the same things repeatedly. I keep telling them I have already done them but they insist they are SURE it will work this time. It never does. After doing the factory reset and it still not working correctly, they act like they are confused, almost like I am lying. I did what you suggested above on the slim chance it would work this time but it did not. I bought two S5's that day and the other one works perfectly fine. I know I got a bad phone. Verizon just does not listen. It is a bad phone. I just want a new phone that works properly. Is that too much to ask? I bought a new phone that has been bad from day one. Why oh why do I have to spend hours of my time on the phone, in the store, on the computer, trying to rectify this? It shouldn't be this difficult! Help please!!!

BB Curve, Pocket Mac, Mac Book Pro sync issues, all of a sudden

Hi, new to the forum here, but not to Blackberry or Mac! I've been using this sync combo since it's inception back when I first got a 7100, then with my T-Mobile Curve when it came out, with little or no problems. I now, all of a sudden, have issues! I did look around at some other posts to see if I could find a solution, or someone with the same problem, but I think my prob is slightly different, so forgive me if I'm repeating some things here that others already have talked about!
After dropping my Curve over in Europe last month and cracking the screen (ugh), I got a replacement from the insurance company, which turned out to be a remanufactured phone (for the $130 deductible??? - another topic!)....... there were apps missing, and the phones' keypad did not feel right, but IT DID sync ok... at any rate, I got them to send me a NEW phone, which I just received. It has the same exact software version as the other phones I had.
I did my usual USB sync with Pocket Mac, starting just with the contacts (mac address book) and notes (stickies). I selected 'overwrite device' in the advanced prefs of pocket mac (all latest versions installed, with latest drivers as well). Worked fine, as usual.
I then added some addresses in my address book on the mac, and went to do another sync. It was at this point that the sync did not work, either in 'overwrite device' or 'two way sync'. The added addresses were not on my phone.
What I've tried, and noticed so far:
On the phone, during the 2nd sync, no matter which pref I choose, the ARROW on the connection status window on the phone is going the WRONG WAY, towards the computer icon, not the phone icon. Since I added info only on the computer, the arrow should be going toward the phone, especially when in 'overwrite device' pref. This was NOT the case on the original sync, when the phones' address book was empty; the arrow was going the right way, towards the phone. I did the 'wipe/reset' that Brodie suggested in another post, which is going to the address book on the phone->menu->options->scroll to 'default' and type in 'rset'... that wiped the address book from the phone.
I then did another sync, pref in 'overwrite device' and again it worked fine, with all my addresses, including the recent entries, transferred as they should be to my Curve...
I again made a few changes as a test, adding one address on the phone, and one in the address book on the mac, did a 'two way' sync, and again, nothing, both new entries were NOT copied.
The other thing I noticed, is the connections status window goes away after a bit of time on the phone (like it's finished), but the pocket mac software on the Mac is still spinning, acting like it's still syncing, with the status bar near the end, but it never finishes. I have to quit it manually. This did not happen on the 'clean' sync, everything finished like it was supposed to.
This obviously is a drag to not be able to sync without wiping the phones' address book, especially when data has been entered on the phone, and in fact, in that case, there is NO WAY to get it to the computer at this point!
I'm running MAC OS 10.4.11. Brand new sync cable that came in the box with the new phone.
As I said, all software and drivers having to do with pocket mac and blackberry are the latest versions just installed.
Maybe the desktop mngr for mac will solve all this, but, until then?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Wifi issues all of a sudden in lion. Please help.

Problem: i have 2 macs, 2 pc's, playstation, iphone and ipad on one network for years. No issues. Then one day both mac minis stopped getting wifi internet. Thought it was the router but all other devices still got wifi.
i created new wifi connections, deleted the old ones, made sure dhcp is not set to manual. Fixed permission and still no go. This just stopped working all of a sudden. Changed from N wifi speed to G wifi speed and it seemed to work for a few days. Then it went back out. I bought a new router think that would fix it and the same is happening.
I have gotten several different messages such as "Wi-Fi does not have an IP address and cannot connect to the internet." Another saying I have a set IP address and cannot to Internet.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Sounds similar but still not the same issue I guess because I have the problem regardless what application I'm using, I don't even get the internal Windows sounds when I have the Creative drivers installed.
Feels strange not more people have the same problem if it's caused by a Microsoft update so maybe that's not the case after all...can't understand though what might have caused it if not that?since I haven't done anything to my computer's config lately and this problem with the sound happened from one day to the other...hmm...

Macbook Pro all of a sudden very slow.

My Macbook Pro has all of a sudden become very slow. The rainbow wheel shows up about every minute, and battery life has reduced a lot. I lost about 10% of my battery life within 10 minutes. It freezes all of the time. I recently upgraded to mountain lion about a month ago and everything has been fine since about 2 days ago. Any ideas on what it could be?

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the slowdown.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Camera photos taken in photo booth are all of a sudden very dark

I was taking photos of myself on my macbook pro and all of a sudden all images the built in camera picks up are too dark. How do I fix this? I don't know what happened it just did it all of a sudden and won't go back to normal.

Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

My iMac is all of a sudden very slow - help?

My iMac is all of a suddden very slow and the incoming gmail is no longer working. However my incoming mail works fine on my iPad and other devices? The slowness is on every thing?

First question to ask is: how much free space is still available on your hard drive?

Safari all of a sudden very slow on one account

I am running OS 10.6.8 and Safari 5.0.5 and all of a sudden Safari slowed to a crawl on one account. It takes more than a minute to load a page. Other apps are not having any problems. After trying many things, including deleting Safari and reinstalling it, I read on another post to try and create a new account to see if Safari worked on that account. Viola! It works great on the newly created account.
What might possibly be the problem on my other account? I did not make any changes. However, I have several children who use the iMac and they might have done something. I am not running any extensions. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you.

Update Safari > Safari 5.1.10 for Snow Leopard
Restart your Mac after the update is installed then try Safari.
If Safari is still running slow...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If nothing above helped, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

Catalogs issue- all of a sudden

My catalogs used to be organized by import... so basically, I could click on each catalog part and see only the photos fromt hat import.
All of a sudden, those are gone and only separated into 3 categories: All Photographs, Quick Collection, and Previous Import
(Photo attached)
How do I get it back how it was before?
Thank you SO much for your time!
Stacy

The views you have available in the Catalog panel are limited to just a few.
Just below the Catalog panel, click the triangle next to the Folders panel. This will expand theFolders list, where you can see your full library organized according to the folders where you have imported them.
Note that every time you do a new import, your view is (by default) changed to "Previous Import" so that you can see the new photos that you've just added.

10.8.1 - Major Issue - All Mail in "Trash" Gone after Update

ML 10.8 started off for me (and many others) with a few bugs and a major battery issue and now with the 10.8.1 update comes the biggest nail in the coffin with all of my email in the "Trash" folder completely gone.
I need some help from some experts here.
99% of the mail in my "Trash" is gone. I only have email dating back to August 22, 2012 (which is the day I upgraded from 10.8 -> 10.8.1)
I'm using 3 POP accounts and 1 IMAP account.
All accounts and their appropriate "Trash" folders had hundreds of deleted items and the IMAP account had thousands.
I noticed this today while doing a search for somthing in the "Trash"
I'm not sure what to do here, cannot contact AppleCare at the moment as they are closed.
Help...

I get an error "No valid mbox files were found" on both
Jesus
Re-adding won't help me for this account - my IMAP server doesn't have any items in the Deleted Messages folder on the server-side.
Here's where I'm confused - if I receive email in my Inbox, I delete certain items, they end up in my Trash (have been there prior to 10.8.1) and now they're just gone. I've made sure to specify that Mail doesn't permanently delete items on the Server, leaves them there, etc. And since I can remember all items I manually Delete, just go into the "Trash"
Thoughts?

My printers have become all of a sudden very slow over my network when used with my Macbook. What could this indicate ?

My two printers on my network (HP 8500 All in one Officejet and Lexmark Pro 805) have become very slow with processing and printing my documents. When printing, they have also made it not possible to do other applications on my Macbook until finished printing. WHat does ths point in the direction of ?

Empty your print queue of excess print jobs that didn't go through.
If you are within 1500 feet (500 meters) of someone who might connect wirelessly, make sure any wireless network you have is WPA2 encrypted, and not using 802.11b. Reboot the printers, and any routers they may be connected to.

All of a sudden Very Slow Printing and Print to PDF

I am running OSX 10.4.11 on A G4. I was having no trouble printing to a HP2500. The time to print or print to a PDF was fast from all my applications. I am focusing on InDesign CS for this discussion. I changed recently to a HP 3600N and also to 10.4.11. Now it takes 1 hour to prepare a 28 page color document for printing. Once job is sent to the printer it takes about 3 minutes to actually print it. The slow rendering of the document also occurs when creating a PDF using the Print dialog. I tried the 2500 as a test and found the same problem. It appears that 10.4.11 is the culprit. I tried the same document on my iMac running an older OSX and I had no problem. I wish I had my back up drive still on 10.4.9 so I could check that out but alas I backed up and now have the 10.4.11 OS mirrored on that drive.
I am out of business until I can resolve this problem.
Eagerly awaiting advice!
Dan

Drive A is 60 GB with 3.66GB free.
Running OSX from that drive should really slow it to a Crawl, and is getting to the dangerous point... you need at least 12GB fre, 30 GB would be better.
Nt certain why the other is so slow... did you open Activity Monitor & observe CPU, Memory & such while it is slow?
If you can free some space on the Internal, Might give a try with Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

WiFi Issues - Stops working all of a sudden - Ipod 4 32G

I wanted the community to be aware of an issue that hit me all of a sudden - my wifi connection on my iPod cease to stop working.
I have a iPod Touch 4, 32G, Windows 7 w/Netgear DSL modem & Router
Today, I was surfing the net with my iPod when all of a sudden I was disconnected. I tried to connect to back but was having problems. As time went by and nothing was happening, I was getting a little worried. My Wii, internet, my wife's iPhone and my 1st &2nd Gen iPods touch's were all connected and working normally but mine was not. I did absolutely everything possible. I went to the user forums and surfed all over to find a solution. In my research, I found that I wasn't the only one that was having this same issue. The only problem was there was no consensus on a solution.
After resetting, deleting, downloading and just about everything else you could do with an iPod, I decided to see if it was my router. I went into my router and set up a "guest" account and all of a sudden my iPod 4 could connect. I then reset my router and it is now working perfectly.
A lot of pain and trouble but the solution was just to reset the modem (in my case, I unplugged it).
This seems to be a strange issue with the iPod 4 as I am not the only one who has been hit with this issue. It has not affected any of my other apple devices except my iPod 4. There is something in how the iPod 4 and the router communicate and the easiest way is to restart your router (all other options did nothing for me)
Hopefully this will help someone out and prevent them from going through all the pain I did.

Hi, this seems like a very annoying problem. Unfortunatly, the community will need some more information to help assist you with this problem. Such as:
1) What programs? Are they resource intensive? I mean, if you are trying to run 4 video games or programs like photoshop and 3dsmax forget about it. And if you have 4 programs ALL attempting to write large amounts to the disk it will yeild a similar result. Usually large amounts of I/O are murder on PC's (by which I mean personal computers...), and of course if you don't have enough RAM its a moot point.
2) What are your specs? How much RAM do you have? What is the size of your virtual memory (page file)?
3) Have you cleared the various caches mac's have? I can't direct you to any good third party programs for mac's but I am sure there is a simple cache cleaner within your system.
