Hi Laura, looks like you don't have a choice other than powwring down, then...
"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.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.

Copied my iTunes from my Mac to my Windows 7 laptop, now there are thousands of songs missing on the Windows copy with the exclamation point. everything shows up, playlists and tracks, there are just a bunch of songs with exclamation points. how can i properly sync my iTunes from my Mac to my PC? using iTunes
Moving a library: Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive. Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes. At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.

Hi can you help the sound is not working on my Mac I have went into settings and there are no option for interal speaker help
Read the documentation at the links. They won't hurt your data.
Basically smc reset is shutdown, pull your plug for 15 seconds, plug it back in, wait 5 seconds, and reboot. Harmless to you. Resets the smc.
Pram reset is similar but you need to push commnd-option-P-R after the boot chime. Read what does.

i have purchased an album via itunes and there are 4 songs that have a cloud with an red arrow pointing down, when I click on it it says unable to download at this time. Why?
I'm not sure if they could tell you but you could try contacting Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click iTunes>iTunes Store>Purchases, Billing & Redemption. You will need your serial number, which you can find in Settings>General>About.

Installed the new iTunes and there's no icon
After I installed the program, the icons for both iTunes (the green musical note) and Quicktime (the shiny blue Q) were replaced with this:
http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e293/gnarlykitty/other/noicon.jpg
The icons in Start > Programs menu also disappeared so the create shortcut trick won't work.
Same with anybody?I get something very similar. But, I get the Window's "I don't know what program this is" icon (the one that's a square, with boxes inside). I didn't think much about it, and just went ahead with everything.
But, when I plug in my iPod (60g), iTunes wants to upgrad the software for it. It starts, then the iPod seems to "disconnect" from iTunes, and a message comes up saying that it cannot update the software.
So frustrating - anybody have any ideas how to fix all of these problems? -
There are no check or uncheck for the new version of iTunes?
I had just downloaded the new version of iTunes and i miss my old version. I don't see how you can check and uncheck a song to make it not play when your listening. My old version would skip the unchecked music and i miss that option. Is there an option on the new version that i'm not seeing or am i just going to have to delete them when i don't want to hear them?
In iTunes, go "Edit > Preferences". In the general tab, tick the "show list tickboxes" box, and click okay.
Have you got the wee boxes back now? -
In iTunes podcasts were sorted in the library alphabetically. In Version 1.2.1, there is no ability to sort and podcasts (not episodes) are duplicated. Can you sort the Podcasts in the library section? How do you remove or consolidate duplicates?

For some reason my itunes and safari are gone any way to get the back, iphone4
For some reason my i tunes app and safari are gone on my iphone4, is there anyway to get them back? thanks
Impossible for any of the included apps to be deleted from the iPhone, which includes the iTunes app and Safari.
Settings > General > Restrictions.
If Restrictions is enabled, is Safari and iTunes turned on as a restriction? If so, turn these off. -
Hi All,
I have my kids using iTunes via thier ipods etc through my own account and this hase been the case for some time?
This has started to cause issues lately with imessaging and facetime, as there seems to be a limit on email addresses that can be associated with one account?
I wonder if I would be best off setting the kids up with their own accounts, but want to be able to do this without them losing their existing apps, music etc?
Is this possible, if so is there a simple process cos I can seem to find anything relating to this?
many thanks, JimNot going to happen the way you want it to.
When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with. -
So I synced my phone to my laptop, transfered all 192 songs that used to be on it, went to play them and nothing. There is just this stupid red round circle with a square in the middle of it next to my music. The only ones that work are the ones that I purchased. PLEASE HELP?!?!

My mini mac won't let me sign in does not respond to anything from the keyboard or mouse
You actually need to buy Tiger or Leopard on order to install teh latest version of iTunes.
10.3.9 and 10.4.x is a completely different operating system and is a paid upgrade. -
Mini Mac won't recognize my password
My mini mac won't recognize my passwoed. Is there any way to reset the password? I know I am entering it correctly. I am copying down my the note pad I wrote it down on. I tried swapping out the keyboard. I also tried resetting ithe as well. Please help.
Note: Resetting the keychain deletes all the old saved password entries!
You can't change a keychain password without knowing the old password.
Backup the files located in ~/Library/Keychain before resetting if you ever plan on attempting to recover the old keychain items (should you remember the old password).
The Finders 'Go menu > Go to folder…' will open that folder if you insert ~/Library/Keychain as the path. -
