My MacBook Pro is not recognizing my external hard drive. The hard drive is listed in disk utilities but an icon does not pop up and I cannot access the data. Is there any way to resolve this?

WE know Disk Warrior is more reliable, hence more useful, and should be in any disk mechanics toolchest.
For the record, I don't know anything of the kind. I have yet to see evidence that Disk Warrior is useful at all.
What I do know is that you seem to take every opportunity you get to promote it in these forums. Do you work for Alsoft?
Let me be a little more explicit. My opinion is that Disk Warrior is a waste of money if one has backups. If a journaled HFS directory is so badly corrupted that it can't be repaired by Disk Utility, then the volume should be reformatted and restored from backup, which has the same effect as running DW, but is probably faster and doesn't cost $99.

I transferred all my Itunes music from an old PC to my new one with Windows 7. Now I cannot edit "artist" or anything else for the songs. It is all greyed out and I cannot enter information. Is there any way to correct this problem?

I transferred all of my music from an older PC to my new one with Windows 7. Now I cannot edit selected songs. The information is greyed out and I can't type over it (on all my music except NEW downloads). Can anyone help? I even have a few songs with NO artist tag and I can't write anything in them either.

It's a permissions problem. Try this: right click on your iTunes icon and choose "run as administrator" that might fix it.

I am trying to crop a portrait photo into 6x4 portrait ready for printing. Iphoto only crops it landscape and therefore cuts out most of the photo. Is there any way of resolving this?

I am trying to crop a portrait photo into 6x4 portrait ready for printing. I am using Iphoto on a Macbook Pro. Everytime I try and crop the photo, it crops in Landscape which cuts out most of the photo. Is there any way of resolving this? I am new to Macs as I am currently switching from MS. It is very easy to do this in MS photo editor so I can't believe it can't be easily done in Iphoto!

My music library seems corrupted. Nearly every song (431 albums) displays "the song ... could not be used because the original file cannot be found". Is there any way to correct this? Please help, thanks, Kelly

Almost my entire itunes music library seems corrupted. Nearly every song (431 albums) displys "the song ... cannot be used because the original file cannot be found". Is there any way to correct this? Please help!

Select one of the songs in question and right click, then select "Get Info". On the main dialog page you should see where iTunes thinks the file resides. Then use Windows Explorer to see if the file is actually there. If not, find out where your music is stored.If there is not a correlation between iTunes and reality, go into iTunes and delete all of the files which are not found. Then, in iTunes, select File->Add Folder to Library and select where the music is stored. iTunes will re-add all of the music into your library.

I've just recently tried snapchat but it won't recognise my phone number on the ipad , is there any way to fix this ?

II've tried putting in my number on the snapchat app however it says its invalid is this because I'm using an iPhone app on an ipad ? I've never had issues with this before and it says its compatible with ipad :/ . Is there any way of fixing this as without your number you are unable to use the app

Did you choose the right router to connect to in settings, wifi? Is there a password you need to enter (or did you already try)? Just because there's a signal doesn't mean it's connected to the router. I'm not sure what you mean by "service".

I inadvertently his a key while view a note and it deletes the note. This change is then instantly propogated to icloud and to all my devices. Is there any way to prevent this?

I inadvertently hit a key whild viewing a note portion of a contact and the note was deleted. This change was immediately propagated to icloud and to all of my devices. Is there any way to suppress changes until you are ready to sync them?

No, it's done exactly what it is intended to do.
Syncing of notes (contacts, calendars, etc) via iCloud is instantaneous across all connected devices.

My Macbook (2006) cannot boot from USB, is there any way to solve this?

I bought a retail copy of Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and upon trying to install it via optical drive, it fails every time. I'm certain that the drive itself has issues reading discs. So instead I opted to install my retail Snow Leopard onto a USB flash drive (a 32GB Kingston stick) but this macbook absolutely refuses to boot via USB. I've used Carbon Copy Cloner and Disk Utility but neither has yielded results. I've spent so many hours trying to install this OS, does anyone know what's going on??

Late reply, but if anyone is experiencing the same problem, I've found a solution. For whatever reason, some macbooks don't recognize usb flash drives during the boot-up phase, even though the usb ports themselves are powered (I tested this with a multimeter). The solution then, was to use an external USB hard drive that has its own power supply to install Snow Leopard. I don't know why, but it's the only way I got my macbook (Macbook 2,1/A1181) to recognize the install drive. Every was smooth sailing from there!

I purchased an iphone 4s secondhand but now i find that the person has a security feature still locked onto the phone and they are not responding to my message. Is there any way to resolve this problem.

How do I resolve an issue with a secondhand phone purchase that has a security feature link to it and it hasnt been removed therefore I cant use the phone.

Hi paisley,
Sorry, there is no way around the Activation Lock. You either need to contact the original owner and get them to turn off Find My iPhone and wipe the phone from their iCloud account, or you need to return it to the seller.
Sorry,

I sync all of my calendars across iCloud on iPad, iPhone and MacBook, but I want to share with my husband who is on android. Is there any way to do this?

Any advice on how to share iCloud calendars outwith my devices gratefully received. Can hubby have access to my iCloud from his phone?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
That's not possible, A*****d phones are not compatible with iCloud.

My friend's friend found an iPod and deleted the data is there any way to find out who owned it before via serial number, bring it in somewhere, or other way?

Is there anyway to find out owner

- Some users have said that if you contact Apple, Apple will try to contact the previous owner. Apple will not give you that information.
Apple - Support - iPod touch - Contact Us
- You should also report it to the police and here

When I attempt to open a PDF file I saved from a website, I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Is there any way to correct this problem?

When I attempt to open a PDF file I saved from a website using Safari, I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." When I save the same PDF file using FireFox it opens up immediately. Is there any way to correct this problem with Safari?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

IF it is a manufacturing defect and you bought the device from Apple or an authorized Apple retailer, then take it into Apple.
