  • No matter what I try I can't get Java working on Lion

    I have been trying since day 1 to get Java working on Lion and nothing works. I've been searching forums and doing everything reccommended with absolutely no results. I have tried it on Safari, Firefox and Chrome. None of which worked. I have reinstalled java numerous times. I have played with the java preferences such as swapping the 32-bit & 64-bit oder on main tab as well as selecting "Enable-run with protections, No warning" on the advanced tab. No matter what I do, it just refuses to work. Does anyone have any insight into what I can do to get this up and running?
    Thanks
    Phillip

    Okay. If iTunes is endlessly saying "Accessing iTunes Store", let's first try the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

  • No matter what i try I can't get my LOST library...FOUND!!!

    Okay so I have tried everything here and I just can't get my old library back. Today when I went to open Iphoto it was the same thing
    Iphoto cannot find Library
    buttons
    Quit Create a new library Find a library
    After trying to find the old one I tried creating a new one, I found some of my pictures but only pictures that I had seperated into different Albums none that I had just left in the ordinary library. I could only recall about 326 photos out of 2300. Once I realized that I couldn't get back all of the photos I came on to here to get some help. I followed so many of the suggestions
    ie: exiting out and reopeing Iphoto while holding down the option button, but I could still only recall the 326, so I then went into the Library preferences and tried to delete the com.apple.iphotoplist. and tried reopening it. I still can't find them. I searched for the .jpg and still only the 326 are there. There is no way that I could have deleted them, I havn't put any new pictures on in months and I havn't downloaded any programs. I now have 2 libraries
    IPhoto Library
    IPhotoLibrary1
    And they both only have the 326 that I could recall. I have never used the Forum before, and I actually don't know all that much about computers
    ie: I don't know what the spotlight search is
    and I am still despretly trying to find the other 2000 pcitures I hope someone has some more advice. please =(

    Hello, Katie,
    Sorry for your photo loss problems.
    I am not understanding what you did before you lost them.
    The 326 pictures that I had found, I found them in the albums that I had copied them into, prior to the problem
    Are you meaning that you put photos into albums within iPhoto? Those 'photos' are only alias that point to your iPhoto Library where the photos are actually stored. If you put them into albums in iPhoto, the originals don't get copied and should still be in the iPhotoLibrary.
    So, I don't think I understand what 'albums' you mean, unless you moved them yourself, outside iPhoto.
    As you are finding, when iPhoto loads, it looks into iPhotoLibrary files to find and load your photos. Usually, these are in your Pictures folder. If you have moved the photos to some other folders, iPhoto is not finding them because they are not where it looks. If you have not deleted the photos, you should be able to find them by searching on your hard drive for the .jpgs if that is the format for your photos.
    If you have tampered with iPhotoLibrary's files and folders, you may have caused serious problems. See this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=165521
    If your search for the photos on your HD found only the 326 photos, then they are gone. You must have deleted them somehow. You might try a Data recovery program such as these: http://www.prosofteng.com/products/datarescueinfo.php?PHPSESSID=6644886d9d018b32492d16da027253c4

    For the future.....always make a backup of your iPhoto Library. Our photos are too precious to trust having them in only one location.

    Thanks - it worked. i kept having to click on "resize" to get to 100%. Now it seems to be at 100% default. I appreciate the help.

  • I have an ipod touch 2 and rebuilt my laptop.  Reinstalled ITUNES and can't find my applications on ITunes after login.  I tried to activate Itunes again but it didn't.  How can I get my applications to display on ITUNEs?

    I have an Ipod Touch 2 and rebuilt my laptop.  Reinstalled ITUNES and can't find my applications on ITunes after login.  I tried to activate Itunes again but it didn't.  How can I get my applications to display on ITUNEs?

    It sounds like you essentially have a new computer and unless you restored from a backup your iTunes library would be empty.  You can transfer your iTunes purchases from your iPod to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    SInce you changed syncing computers. after you move the stuff you need to restore the iPod to factory defaults and sync the stuff back to your iPod.  If you had the iPod backup file you could restore from backup.
    If you have non-iTunes pruchases you can copy them to your computer by using one of the third-party programs discussed in this previous discussion:

  • How can I get my ipod to work with itunes?

    When I connect my ipod classic into my new computer it seems that itunes does not recognize it. How can I get my ipod to work with itunes? I'm afraid to disconnect my ipod because the display is saying Do Not Disconnect.

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

  • Please help! I can't get my iPod to sync with iTunes on my PC?

    This problem is really frustrating and I would really appreciate some guidance because I'm completely stuck. I have been trying for many hours over the past few days to get my iPod touch to sync with iTunes on my PC. When I plug my iPod touch into my PC, iTunes opens up and this message pops up:
    "This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again."
    I have completely removed iTunes from my PC several times and reinstalled it several times but this message continues to pop up and its really annoying because I can't put my music onto my iPod. I have followed instructions on the apple website which were to temove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel and then restart the PC and reinstall iTunes again. I've tried this several times and it simply didn't work and the error message continues to pop up when I plug my iPod into my PC. I really need to know what is the software required so that I can use my iPod with iTunes on my PC. I can't explain how much I'd appreciate help with this. Thanks in advance.
    Do I need to install software on my iPod or on my PC? :S

    Two ideas, but what version of Windows? what versions of iTunes? did you manually remove what the uninstaller left behind as outlined in Apple support article?
    Did you upgrade to iOS 5 or not? what version? what about your iPod Touch model?
    Backup its backup. Backup content.
    USB is directly connected to a motherboard port?
    Have you had to restore the iPod?
    Also, many have pointed finger at Apple Mobile Service needing to be restarted first, then launch iTunes and then connect iPod.
    Create a new Windows partition and use that to do a clean install and for testing. Always works.
    Some security software. Microsoft Security Essentials does an excellent job, free, works.
    I have not read or seen "the req'd software is not installed" mentioned by others, but could easily miss (new to iPod + iTunes myself and there were so many threads when iOS 5 came out).

  • I am using Windows 7 and no matter what I try, I can not delete the history/search on the left of the screen? Even if I hi-lite and delete, it always comes back?

    Have tried all the tips from troubleshooting. Private Browsing, checking and unchecking of boxes. It used to clear every time I closed Firefox? I don't normally open this or use it for links since I have most of what I use under Bookmarks...Thanks

    If you created those prefs in a previous Firefox version then they will still be there, but they won't have any effect in current Firefox versions, so you can right-click them and choose reset to remove them.

  • HT5503 I am unable to update my iPad 2 to the new iOS 6 software. I have tried troubleshooting (i.e., making sure I have a strong wifi connection, having the iPad plugged in/charged to 100%, etc). It seems as if no matter what it try, I can't update. Help

    I have no idea how to solve this problem. Are there any suggestions?

    I have an new iPad that I updated over WiFi, but I could not update my iPod Touch over Wifi for reasons unknown. The download kept stalling at the "preparing software" stage so I used iTunes on my Mac to update the iPod Touch.
    Either keep trying, or resign yourself to the fact that you just may have to use a computer.

  • Safety mode on YouTube is enabled and no matter what I do I can't get it to turn off, only on this browser. Please explain to me how to fix this.

    None of the other threads on this topic were able to fix my issue. This wasn't happening until a few days ago when it notified me that I couldn't view a video because safety mode was apparently enabled, so I scrolled down and clicked 'off' (about 50 times) and nothing changed. I never turned it on in the first place, and using YouTube is a part of my job. It works fine in Safari. Any help is appreciated.

    You may have run into one of YouTube's "enhancements" since it's now owned by Google. It's offered by Firefox if you want it, like for your (possibly) young kids, but if you have it "off", you may have to have a Google account.
    I resent it too, don't have nor want a Google account. They want to know all about you so if you buy a garbage can they can offer you another garbage can.
