Need MAJOR itunes help
Ok...Never before had issues with itunes until the latest updates that go back to this past fall...I really have no idea how to use this program like I once did.
here is what I need help with:
1) Bought an album on my iphone...cannot seem to find where to download it on any of my three macs (MBP, MM, imac). In itunes on my MM it seems to exist in the cloud only, but there is an exclamation point to the left of each song. I cannot find this album on any of my other two macs and cannot find an option to download it to these anywhere.
2) My music library is located on an external RAID drive. In itunes preferences I always set this as the location of my itunes folder, but for some reasons it always defaults back to the itunes folder that is on the local HD. WHy does it keep changing back?
3) Somehow I ended up with three different libaries. There is a libaray with a little house icon with a musical note on it, than the RAID library, than some other library with chinese characters on it...I have no idea where this latter one came from...
Just run the iPod updater. One of the choices is to restore it back to factory defaults. That should wipe the drive. Then you can run the updater again and install the latest version of software for your particular iPod.
I had the same problem once before, and that took care of it, lickity split!
Good luck,
Mike

I just got a new iPod that's 120 GB because I was running low on disk space on my computer. So I added my entire music library which is about 8,000 songs, 50 videos, Photos and some IMPORTANT files to its drive. The iPod was working fine so I deleted all that music from my PC. Then suddenly yesterday the iPod froze so I tried to reboot it by holding center + menu. Now when I try to turn it on it asks me to connect it to the computer/iTunes. iTunes says I gotta restore it hence losing ALL my music, video and files I have stored there.
Obviously I can't restore it or there goes all my music and videos. PLUS important files that I desperately need for work....
I can't go into the iPod's hard drive because it says I gotta restore it when i try, so how do I get it to unlock it self from restore mode?!?!?!
please help, I'm gonna go crazy because I can't lose these files that I stored in there. Not to mention I deleted all the music files from my computer, so basically I loose all my music because I always give away my Cd's. Please there's gotta be a way to reboot it without restoring the iPod and losing all the files.So I added my entire music library which is about 8,000 songs, 50 videos, Photos and some IMPORTANT files to its drive.

Bad move... You could so easily have your iPod lost, stolen, damaged or, as it is now, in need of restore. Thankfully there's reasonable scope for optimism in this last case.
*Recover media from iPod*
Check out this post from Zevoneer for some iPod media recovery options.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9935961#9935961
Many of the recovery tools rely on the iPod having a valid library, which if it's in restore mode is unlikely. The manual method referred to in Zevoneer's post should work regardless.
Depending on just how you put the pictures on the iPod you may be out of luck if you've deleted the orginals. Unless you included the option for "full resolution" images it will just have a libray of thumbnails. Some tools may recover these but the detail will be lost. If the originals have been put on the iPod iTunes will have assigned them names based on their dates rather than their original titles so you'll have to reconstruct these by hand.

I just purchased my mac book... It says I have "Quick Time Player 10" installed. I tried to install Quick Time 7 but it won't let me. I just purchased the Quick Time Pro upgrade because I need it to convert my WMV videos. There is no play to put in my registration code. I need help! I don't know what I'm doing wrong. In the end I need Quick time pro (which I just purchased). P.S. When I launch my quick time player no window appears... I don't know if that matter or not.
Ok... So I installed quicktime 7 off of the disk that came with my mac. I already purchased quicktime pro and received a confirmation email and I'm trying to register it so I can start using it. I go to the quicktime pro registration and put in my name and my registration code... There is a button that says purchase quicktime pro (which I already did). There is no other options to select. How do I register it so I can download quicktime pro? Thanks for all of your help! I'm getting kind of frustrated because I feel like I'm not going to be able to get it onto my mac even though I already purchased it. Thanks again.

So here's what happened.
I needed to go to a movie and my mom needed to record her concert (which was about 2 hours long). I open up quicktime and click on 'new movie recording' then leave it there, close the computer, and tell her: press the red button once to record, then press it again to stop.
After the movie, we come home, I check the computer, only to find out that it only recorded 2 SECONDS, when it should've recorded the WHOLE 2 HOURS. I told my mom to hit the button once to record it, then once again to stop it, then to just close the computer and not to touch anything. Why did this happen, and is there any way to get the 2 hours back? They should've just loaded after the recording was stopped, shouldn't they have? Why did Quicktime do this? Does it not record movies more than 1 hour? HELP.
This was her concert, and we're both upset that the recording was lost and that quicktime was acting like a piece of ****.
HELP!While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use QuickTime. There's a QuickTime Support Community where everybody uses QuickTime. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/quicktime

I need serious Itunes help!!!!!!!!!!!!
i downloaded my Itunes but it won't open all i get is a little time hand thing and then nothing, ive tried quite a few things but it won't open, i restart and i have my ipod nano disconnected but it won't work still!!!
It appears from your profile that you have Windows 98 installed. iTunes for Windows was first introduced for Windows 2000 so there isn't a version that works with either 98 or ME. You could have a look at XPlay, Anapod or Ephpod which will work with Windows 98/ME. However XPlay and Anapod are commercial programs so you might consider it worth the extra expense to upgrade to XP (which you may find at a discount price now that Vista is out) if your computer will run it. Staying with 98/ME, you may also require drivers, there is a link in the Anapod page to suitable iPod/USB drivers:

Need Major Quick Help on Bubble Sort
I am trying to sort by year of birth and I enter it in as 1978, 1965, and 1947. All i want it to do is sort it to be 1947, 1965, 1978 yet it does 1965, 1947, 1978....any clues? it is the sortArray() method below. please respond immediately, i am trying to get this project done so i can go to bed to hand it in tomorrw, it's been bugging me for a week now and i just cant solve it
* A Database is a collection of persons (staff, student and faculty).
* A very simple database of people in a university. This class simply stores
* persons in an ArrayList and, at request, lists them on standard output.
* A first look at arrays.
* @author: Keitha Murray, James Devlin
* @version: January 2002, February 2002
public class Database
Person[] peopleArray = new Person[50];
Person[] tempArray = new Person[50];
int i;
int lastpos;
int nextpos;
* Create a new, empty person database.
public Database()
lastpos = 0;
nextpos = 0;
lastpos = nextpos - 1;
i = 0;
* Add a person to the database.
* @param aPerson the person to add
public void addPerson(Person aPerson)
peopleArray[nextpos] = aPerson;
lastpos = nextpos;
nextpos++;
* List all the persons currently in the database on standard out.
public void listAll()
for (int i = 0; i < nextpos; i++)
System.out.println(peopleArray.toString());
public void sortArray()
for (int j = 0; j < lastpos; j++)
for(int i = 0; i < lastpos; i++)
if (peopleArray[i].getYearOfBirth() > peopleArray[i + 1].getYearOfBirth())
tempArray[i] = peopleArray[i];
peopleArray[i] = peopleArray[i + 1];
peopleArray[i + 1] = tempArray[i];
lastpos--;
public void removeElement(String name)
int i = 0, position = -1;
int count;
boolean found = false;
while(i < nextpos && !found)
if (peopleArray[i].getName().equals(name))
position = i;
found = true;
i++;
count = i;
for (i = count; i < count - 1; i++)
peopleArray[i] = peopleArray[i + 1];Hmm...
It still fails to compile for me, giving 5 exceptions. I get a compile-time exception for every time you try to use "peopleArray" as an element of the array (line #'s 48, 51, 52, 68, and 81). They look like this:
Database.java:81: incompatible types
found : Database.Person
required: Database.Person[]
peopleArray = peopleArray[i + 1];
, and:
Database.java:68: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : method getName ()
location: class Database.Person[]
if (peopleArray.getName().equals(name))
When I changed your sortArray() method as below the method performed properly:
public void sortArray()
for (int j = 0; j < lastpos; j++)
for(int i = 0; i < lastpos; i++)
if (peopleArray[ i].getYearOfBirth() > peopleArray[i + 1].getYearOfBirth())
Person temp = peopleArray[ i];
peopleArray[ i] = peopleArray[i + 1];
peopleArray[i + 1] = temp;
}The only differences are that all "peopleArray" references have been replaced by "peopleArray[ i]" and I removed the decrement statement. -
Major iTunes Problem.. Please help me!!!
A few weeks ago, my iTunes suddenly crashed. I uninstalled it, then reinstalled it, but the agreement terms pop up for one minute, then suddenly disappear. It's preventing me from getting onto my iTunes and updating my iPod. What can I do?? I need major help please
-KaitlynThe first thing I'd suggest is to get a good antispyware checker and give it a go at your system. Some recent spyware has been reported by other users to shut down iTunes or prevent it from launching. From user reports, Ewido seems to be the best at catching it. You can download a free version of Ewido here.
If that doesn't cure the problem, try deleting the iTunes preference files:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
and
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Data\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
You might have to turn on "show hidden files" to find them. (Right click "my computer", select open, select Tools menu -> Folder Options. Select View tab, "show hidden files" radio button is in the center scrolling panel.) Delete them or if you want to be able to put them back if it doesn't help, drag them to some other location. This will force iTunes to run the setup assistant the next time you launch iTunes. Note that you'll have to go back and set any preferences you've changed from the default.
If that still doesn't help, then try this:
Bugie: Perform a Thorough & Complete Uninstall and Reinstall of iTunes/QuickTime.
Hope this helps. -
help needed with itunes please tryed to move my itunes libary to my external hard drive itunes move ok and runs fin but i have none of my music or apps or anything all my stuff is in the itunes folder on my external hard drive but there is nothing on ituns how do i get it back help,please
(Make sure the Music (top left) library is selected before beginning this.)
If you have bad song links in your library, hilite them and hit the delete button. Then locate the folder(s) where your music is located and drag and drop into the large library window in iTunes ( where your tracks show up). This will force the tunes into iTunes. Before you start, check your preferences in iTunes specifically under the"Advanced" tab, general settings. I prefer that the 1st 2 boxes are unchecked. (Keep iTunes Music folder organized & Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library). They are designed to let iTunes manage your library. I prefer to manage it myself. Suit yourself. If there is a way for iTunes to restore broken links other than locating one song at a time I haven't found it yet. (I wish Apple would fix this, as I have used that feature in other apps.) This is the way I do it and I have approx. 25,000 songs and podcasts and videos at present. Hope this helps. -

There is no other way than to plug into a computer to restore the phone. You can use another computer to do so, but in case you did not back up to iCloud your data and settings will be gone.

Need a little help.... not major....but am unsure I have...
Need a little help.... not major....but am unsure I have the 2.4 GHz Wireless-G Broadband Router Model WRT54G version 2 I had bought some time ago (over year and a half) and never really had it hooked up since I have been moving from place to place. Now that I'm retired and staying in one place I'm ready to set up. I find myself having "several" power adaptors and not sure which is the correct one. Can anyone tell me if all the broadband routers had the Linksys name and/or logo on them? None of the adapters I have do. I want to use a proper adapter so as not to damage....are there any specs that would be helpful so that one of these adapters would work? Also I'm running WindowsXP Sorry to bother you folks with a dumb question as I'm sure there are others with far more important questions and concerns. Although I can't tell other than the end going into the unit fits, I do have one Class 2 Transformer which might be the one it's about 1 1/2 inches thick, about 2 inches tall with following written information: Model 49-12-1000D CUI Inc Input AC 120V 60Hz 20W Output DC12V 1000mA Appreciate any help you can give.....I believe my unit is an older one based on version so there may have been a "fatter" adapter then than now.
The power adapter output should be 12V, 0.5A(so 6W power rating)
