I have just tried to install the full version of Anthill to my iPod touch Gen 4. I get a message on the iPod saying "Anthill failed to install" and an error on the computer "OxE8000004". I already had Anthill Free installed so deleted it in case it was interferring with the new download. I can install other free apps but now can't even install Anthill Free. I have tried the 7 resolution steps advised by Apple and have totally run out of ideas as to what I can try next. I am using a new laptop since installing Anthill Free the first time and am now running Windows 7, otherwise everything else is the same. Any help would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks.

I tried to uninstall Itunes and then reinstall the 11.03 version but that didnt work either. I want to know if i copy all of the music in my itunes folder to an external without consolidating can i still transfer all my itunes music from my current windows xp pc to a brand new one and have my current itunes library in my new pc? Basically i just want to know 3 things: What exactly does consolidating the itunes library do? Can i copy, paste, and transfer my itunes library to an external and from there to a new pc? Will i be able to transfer my itunes library without consolidating the files?

I have found a temporary solution, allowing the previous version of iTunes (v. 11.1.3 (x64) in my case) to be re-installed. It will allow you to re-establish use of iTunes until the Apple software engineers fix the most recent disasterous upgrade (v. 11.1.4). Please see and follow the procedure in the following article:http://smallbusiness.chron.com/reverting-previous-version-itunes-32590.html The previous version works beautifully.

I have just tried to install the ios7 update that fixes the initial bugs in ios7 and it wouldn't complete the install - an error occurred. now my phone is frozen and inoperable. what do i need to do to fix?

Hey dougpm,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues updating your iPhone to iOS 7. If you have not already done so, you may want to restart or reset the iPhone:

If the above steps do not resolve the issue, you'll want to restore your iPhone with iTunes:

Please help! I just sync my notes to icloud of my ipad mini but after that all notes has been covered by iphone's and all notes are missing from iPad,how could i restore it?

Please help! I just sync my notes to icloud of my ipad mini but after that all notes has been covered by iphone's and all notes are missing from iPad,how could i restore it?

It's very possible that you did just as you suspect. One of the later Note file over wrote the one stored on your iPad when you synced.
When one does a sync of their iPad a backup of the iPad is created first. If that backup was still available you might be able to find the Note file there. But more than likely, if you are letting the iPad and iPhones sync on their own over Wi-Fi you have over written that back up as well.

Run Disk Utility and try to verify/repair the drive to see if it reports and fixes anything.

Can't get past grey screen after update! Losing hope...

I've spent over a week trying to figure this out and about to give up... hoping that someone will reach out and try to help me resolve this. I'm seeing a lot of people with this problem, most go unsolved.
Downloaded and installed Mavericks from Mountain Lion on a Macbook Air 2012. After restart I get a grey screen (goes a little darker after a few seconds) with the Apple logo and nothing else. I can move the mouse though.
I've tried safe mode but the progress bar only goes 3/4 and then disappears and the grey screen and logo are all that remains.
Tried clearing PRAM and downloaded and installed at least 3 times now. Last time it stayed on saying that there was less than 1 minute left for over 10 minutes. Finally restarted... and brought up the grey screen with the logo and here it is 45 min later!
Ran the disk utility on the Mavericks drive... it showed that the Mavericks drive had no repairs needed and all permissions are in order.
I do not have a backup or time capsule, so I'd really like to try to not do a clean install.
Really hope some good hearted Appleton will help me so I can be all happy with my Mac again!

Before proceeding further you should secure your data. You are close to losing it and the instructions below will make a copy of it without having to boot the operating system. The good news is it appears your system disk is reasonably healthy so this procedure should work. You will need an external drive which you will erase as part of this procedure.
Boot the recovery partition:
          • Press the power button and as you hear the bong,
          hold down the Command and R keys.
          Once booted, click on Disk Utility.
Format (and erase) the destination recovery disk:
          Plug in the drive you are about to erase.
          Select the volume that is NOT your system disk.
          Click on Partition.
          Pull down under Partition Layout to 1 Partition.
          Click on Options…
          Select GUID Partition Table.
          Name: Emergency Backup
          Format: Select Mac OS Extended (journaled)
          Click Apply.
          Click Partition.
Make a copy of your system disk on the recovery disk:
          Drag and drop the named system disk to Source (often called Macintosh HD):
          Drag an drop Emergency Backup to Destination:
          (Do not reverse these.)
          Click Restore (the lower Restore button).
          Be patient for it to do a full backup of your system disk.
Then try reinstalling Mavericks from the Recovery partition.

I have a pop up window that says "Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (Error code -61). What does that mean?

I am using a portable USB storage drive connected to my laptop. I am trying to delete a file from the USB drive but it is not working. A pop up window appears that says "Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (Error code -61)". What does that mean and how do I fix it? Thank you.

All I can tell you is that is a write permissions error. How is this drive formatted? Check the file's permissions. You can try:
Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt enter:
sudo rm -rf
Leave a space after "-rf" and drag the file into the Terminal window. Press RETURN. You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.

Help I can't get past grey screen or reinstall osX

Hi I have an imac g5 without isight (non intel) and I tried to install the new osx update (this is thursday night). A pop up said the install failed and i tried to open a program, but it only bounced once on the dock and didn't open. When I tried to restart it, it froze on an empty backround so I manually turned it off. Now when I turn it on, I only get to the grey loading screen, then after a minute or two the fan turns on. I will not go past that no matter how long I let it sit.
I talked to the techguy at my school and he told me to archive reinstall it from the disc. When I try to do that, after installing the first disc of OSx (archive with preferences saved)It says the install was unsuccessful and to try again. I ran the hardware diognostic and it says there is nothing wrong with hardware. I dont know what to do. I'm going to try it again without preferences, but I absolutely cannot delete my hard drive. I am a film student and only a quarter of my stuff is backed up.
Please help, I could not afford the mac insurance renewall, I deffinately can't afford repairs or $49/hr apple help phonecalls. thank you.

"Disc repair was unsuccessful."
If it reported problems it could not repair then you may have directory damange/problems. Archive and Install is not going to solve this. The more you use your computer, the more damage you will cause your system if your directory is damaged.
You will need to purchased a stronger 3rd party utililty. The favorite around here is DiskWarrior followed by TechTool Pro. There are others.
You need to make your own decision on which to purchase. Read up on them on their websites because each does something a little different.

I have been running Firefox on my PowerPC G5 for years and have just tried to install 4.0. When I attempt to start Firefox, a window opens telling me the application cannot be launched. I have installed it twice with the same result. What gives?

I have a PowerPC G5 quad core Mac with a pre-intel chip. I have been running Firefox successfully for over five years and have used every version in operation during that time. Tonight, I received notice that the latest version of 3.6 was ready to install and that I needed to restart. I did that and was taken to a page telling me that 4.0 was available for downloading and use. So I downloaded the new 4.0 and tried to install it in the typical Mac fashion. After clicking on the dmg, I dragged the icon into my applications folder and onto the dock. But when I click on the icon on the dock, I get the message: The application cannot be launched. 10661
When I try to launch by double clicking in the applications folder, I get the message: You cannot open the application Firefox because it is not supported on this system.
I had to go to your site using Safari of all things! I tried re-installing it with another download, and that one misbehaves in the same way. By the way, in case it matters, I still have 42 GB available on my hard drive and 5 GB of RAM.
There is one other funny thing. The Firefox icon from the disk image has a white circle with the slash through it on top of the fox and world symbol. That is what appears in my applications folder and in my dock. It appears to be saying NOT FIREFOX, as it would indicate in a NO U-TURN sign. What is this all about?

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Won't get past grey screen while starting up....please help

ya my g4 powerbook will get to the grey screen with the spinning gear but won't go no further. If this is a simple fix please let me know.

I had exactly the same problem after updating my pb G4 to 10.4.7 (combo). It crashed and would not restart up past the grey screen. I tried everything for hours...from safe mode, single-user mode, start off cd, target firewire, to reset PMU, PRAM and NVRAM. Nothing worked. The HD wasn't even appearing !
Thinking the HD was dead, I just almost went to buy a new one (or even a new MacBook .
Fortunately some time ago I bought a version of DiskWarrior and started from the CD. After running for 9 hours and freezing several times, it found and repaired hundreds of errors. But still it wouldn't start. At least the HD appeared now in target mode so I backuped my files, started from the OSX CD, deleted my HD and reinstalled OSX, updated 10.4.6 and my Powerbook runs like new... I'll wait a bit before updating to 10.4.7 again !
Hope this helps.
