QUESTION: On MacBook 10.6.7, in iTunes 10.3.1, music downloaded from CD, copied from Recently Added, pasted to named New Playlist Folder, is displayed as a list but can later disappear. What am I doing wrong?

Hi, Mylenium,
Thanks for your prompt reply, I'm afraid it hasn't helped. I don't see anything wrong in my device manager.
I have also gone and updated every driver, especially the motherboard chipset and the Sata Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver.
Unfortunately, this hasn't made any difference.
Any other suggestions?
Many thanks in advance!

You cannot. Those will be DRM locked to Apple authorized products. Since you cannot authorize you non-Apple smart phone in iTunes, you cannot play iTunes DRM locked content on it.

I have used lightroom for years on my PC and just installed it on my new iMac. I cannot import NEF files from iPhoto or from my Lacie hard drive into Lightroom. I have tried Lightroom Help but still cannot import NEF files. What am I doing wrong?

I have always used Lightroom with a PC and now have installed Lightroom 3.6 on my new iMac. I cannot import raw (NEF) files from iPhoto (or from my Lacie drive for that matter into Lightroom. I have tried Lightroom Help to no avail. How do I import NEF files from the iMac into Lightroom?

If they are the same nef files that you were importing into your PC, see if the reason is an error message like the thread above this one. Permissions issue.

When I turn on my iPad the grey 'brightness slider' is in the centre of the screen and I can't get rid of it. I've tried switching on / off 'auto-brightness' in 'settings' but it won't go away. What am I doing wrong? Any advice gratefully received.

That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

The screen that says "Download Now" also shows the proposed iTunes version number (in the box below):
Be sure it indicates 11.1.3.
If it is, here's further troubleshooting:

When I use messaging there are only two users who automatically go green (MMS?), and are undeliverable. I can't seem to change this. What am I doing wrong?

When I use messaging there are only two users who automatically go green (MMS?), and are undeliverable. I can't seem to change this. What am I doing wrong?

I use message and all other messages are non-sms. When I try to message these two accounts, they automatically use sms, everything I do is the same. The non-sms messages go through just fine (including pictures). The sms messages (no pictures) are always rejected; they have never gone through. They have never been able to send messages to me either (although they can send to others). I have a Verizon cellular data plan.

Can not use my backup photos, what am I doing wrong?

I am having problems using the photos from my external hard drive. I switch library, and get all the thumbs up in iphoto. When I try to edit them or export in any way, I am not allowed to. This is very frustrating, can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

n555:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The "!" in the edit window indicates that iPhoto has lost the link to the original file in the Originals folder. Check in the Originals folder to make sure you have the full sized image files in there.
Did you rename or move any files/folders in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder? That's one way to get the situation you're experiencing but it would be only for those you tampered with. Since it's the entire library then you've probably fallen victim to the damaged database file problem that hit a lot of users.
If the full sized image files are there you can try to rebuild the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all of the options. I'm not optimistic that the rebuild will recover your library but it's worth a try.
If the rebuild does not work you'll have to start a new library and import the image files from the damaged one as follows:
1 - rename the iPhoto Library folder that's on the external HD.
2 - launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, select Create a new library, navigate to the external HD and do so.
3 - with the new library open, drag the Originals folder from the old library into the open iPhoto window.
This will give you a new library with the same rolls as the old one. However you'll lose your albums, slideshows, keywords, etc.
To help protect from this type of problem in the future check out the tip at the end of my signature.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

I am not able to down load the updated version. I have tried several times, the filed is saved many times, but it seems not to update. What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to update Firefox, but am unable to. I have gone through all of the steps and it seems to not update. I have saved your files several time due to my many tires but the update seems not to go through. What am I doing wrong?

If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

I bought an HDTV cable to connect my MacBook Pro to my Sony TV via HDMI so I could watch videos from my computer on my TV. My TV then shows my basic computer background but the videos won't play. What am I doing wrong?

I bought an HDTV cable to connect my MacBook Pro to my Sony TV via HDML. The TV recognizes my computer; I see my basic computer screen on the TV. I tried to watch videos on my TV but got nothing. (tried via my facebook vidoes and Youtube. What am I doing wrong?

I've got a similar (but different!) problem: I have a MacBookPro3,1 running Mac OS X 10.6.8. I want to connect to my HD TV using a HDMI to DVI cable but the MBP cannot detect the TV display. What's the solution? Is this a bug in Mac OS X 10.6.8 ? Any ideas what I can do to make things work with the HDMI to DVI cable. (N.B.: I have separate audio cable running from the MBP to amplified speakers for the sound side of things. It’s the video that’s the problem!)

HT4623 I'm trying to update my iPad to ios5, I have gone thru Settings, General, but there is no update button available...what am I doing wrong?

I'm trying to update my iPad to ios5, as I want Sky Go on it to watch the cricket, so I've gone thru Settings, General, but there is no update available...what am I doing wrong? Or is this iPad not able to get updates? Thanks

You only have the option if you are already running iOS 5. If you are trying to update the iOS, you have to use iTunes on a computer to update the iPad.
There are some important things that you should know before you update.

[SOLVED] Can't get GDM to run - what am I doing wrong?

Alright, I'm running a fresh, up to date install of Arch in a virtual machine, and I'm consistently unable to get GDM to work properly. I pretty much followed the beginners' guide, and tried reinstalling from scratch several times. I've installed gdm, gnome, gnome-extra, dbus, and anything else the wiki recommends, like virtualbox-archlinux-additions. I edited /etc/inittab and /etc/rc.conf accordingly.
Relevant lines in /etc/inittab:
#Boot to X11
id:5:initdefault:
x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon
Relevant lines in /etc/rc.conf:
MODULES=(vboxguest vboxsf vboxvideo)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus network crond)
When I start the virtual machine, it displays the CLI login interface along with a bunch of warnings:
Arch Linux 3.4.4-2-ARCH (tty1)
vbox login: gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.271335 seconds
gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.011053 seconds
gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.011250 seconds
gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.010699 seconds
gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.010361 seconds
gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.010921 seconds
gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: GdmLocalDisplayFactory: maximum number of X display failures reached: check X server log for errors
After that, I can still log in just fine, though I obviously never get into any desktop environment because of it. I have no idea where to find the X server log. I skimmed through /var/log, but couldn't find any log file with remotely helpful contents besides 'gdm'. The contents of the 'gdm' file:
** (gdm-binary:519): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager
** (gdm-binary:519): WARNING **: Could not acquire name; bailing out
I've been bashing my head against this problem for several days now, but been unable to actually fix it. Anyone feel like pointing out what I'm doing wrong or how to proceed?

Aaaand figured it out thanks to that one. I skipped starting it manually in this VM; got it to work when started manually on a previous install, and hence assumed it'd be fine.
Turns out, I was doing the installations of the base packages - # pacman -S xorg-server xorg-xinit xorg-server-utils - wrong somehow. I think I must've missed that step or something; installing xorg-server and xorg-server-utils through Pacman just now solved my problem.
Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.
EDIT: Wonder, you ninja you.
