    Locate your original install disk (it's grey) and use it to restart your iMac by holding the "C" key during startup. Use the disk utility to repair your harddrive.

  • Please Help, my Iphone will not download my music.

    Okay, so I just restored my Iphone and switched over to a new computer. All my music is on this computer and my Iphone 3GS will sync with the itunes, but when I press sync it simply syncs, and then says the sync is complete without downloading any of the music I have put up. I have no idea what is wrong, someone please help. I have not checked off my music to not be downloaded either.

    Have you clicked on the Sync music button at the top of the Music tab in iTunes ?

  • Apps in iTunes on Macbook will not update

    The Apps in my iTunes on my Macbook do not update anymore. I also have an iMac with iTunes logged in as same account and those apps update like normal. I have not been able to fix it.
    Also, notmally when you view App Thumbnails in iTunes, if you klik on an icon then it expands to show information, latest version, etc....Mine does not do that anymore.

  • HT6058 HELP My ipad will not update

    Will not update. Keep getting retry error message

    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists. If it does, try updating using iTunes on your computer.

  • PLEASE HELP! Itunes will NOT open

    I've seen many posts with people saying their itunes will not open and gives an error message that says it has encountered a problem and has to close. Mine started doing this a couple days ago, and I believe it might have been after I updated either itunes or downloaded a Windows update.
    I have tried probably everything and nothing is working. I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and quicktime (together and seperately). I've messed with msconfig, I've even tried reinstalling itunes from the cd that came with my ipod.
    Someone please help!

    hi Rachel!
    At the moment I do not have quicktime installed. After messing with it so much, I gave up. But the message it was giving me was the same message itunes was giving me, saying it has encountered a problem and needed to close.
    that would be the current problem. itunes won't run if you don't have QT on your system. (it will give you an "itunes has encountered a problem ..." message if you try to launch it under those circumstances.)
    so let's try a standalone QT 7.0.4 reinstall again, taking a few additional precautions this time.
    download and save a copy of the standalone QT 7.0.4 installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
    Quicktime 7.0.4 Standalone Installer
    if you get an error message on that install, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.
    if the install goes through fine, check some things for us.
    does Quicktime launch fine, or do you get an error message? if you get an error message, what does it say?
    if your QT is launching fine, do you still get the "itunes has ..." message?
    love, b

  • Please Help. Flash will not show up

    Maybe I'm missing something. I have installed Flash. When it
    was done it took me to the Adobe page that said "you have
    version..."
    Yet I can't find the app. anywhere on my computer. When I do
    a search 65 folders come up. The only thing that comes up in
    Applications is flashplayertrust.app and that's through my epson
    printer folder.
    I have other media players installed. Quicktime, RealPlayer,
    Adobe Media Player, Flip For Mac, Windows Media Player for Mac.
    I did have Perian installed and I removed that to see if that
    would help.
    I have installed, un-installed, re-installed, restarted my
    computer. Still nothing
    I also repaired my disks.
    Please help me out. What am I doing wrong here?

    Sally,
    OK since you using 2 computers, we will first focus on the one that will not uninstall iTunes, afterwareds we will get the ipod working on one PC first.
    On the PC that will not uninstall iTUnes, goto control panel>add and remove and try if you can to uninstall iTUnes AND quicktime. Then go here and roll down to "Clean up iTunes installer files on the computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
    Once done disable any antivirus or security programs, then goto apple.com to download and install the latest iTUnes.
    Also on BOTH pcs make sure you have "ipod updater 06-28-2006" you can download and install it here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
    Once iTunes is properly installed on this PC, you need to only connect your nano to the main PC you use for now so we can get it working, then we'll focus on the other PC if needed

  • Please help. Mail will not download emails.

    Please can someone help. Mail says that it's checking for email, but will not download anything, even though it shows that there are now 11 messages. This has been happening for over 24hrs. I have good wifi and 3G access and haven't changed any settings. The only difference in the last few days is updating OS via iTunes.

    Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Help My Macbook will not turn on

    One minute my Macbook worked then the next it would not turn on. When I push the power button it will make the sounds like it is turning on, then screen will turn white and a folder with a ? mark in it will blink. Does anyone know what is wrong with my computer ? Please help.

    If you have access to an Apple Store or other authorized Apple specialist with service department, you could take the computer in for diagnosis and repair under the AppleCare plan. Or the complementary coverage that comes with the computer if you did not buy the extended plan to add a few more years on the basic one. With the basic plan, you have 90-days support; if you bought the AppleCare extended plan, you have a total of three years support and service. Within the first year (from day of original purchase) you can buy the extended plan. Without it, a fee may be charged to test the computer. Or if there is an Apple Store with Genius bar, you could arrange to get an appointment there, and there should be no charge (in USA) to diagnose the problem.
    You can get started online, by visiting Apple Support:
    http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
    Not sure what is wrong with the computer, but an expert could tell.
    Also if you have an Apple Store nearby (or within reasonable distance) you could call ahead to set an appointment to talk to a Genius, and have them look into the issue(s) the computer may have. One determined to need repair under AppleCare can be handed off, there.
    Did you have a backup method in place to save your work off the computer, such as TimeMachine and external hard drive? I mention this because a computer going into the shop for possible repair may lose its content, and the hard drive or other parts may have failed, so your saved stuff in there could be lost.
    Hopefully they can get the problem solved.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • PLEASE HELP! STP changes not updated in FCP

    I've watched tutorials for STP and I can't get a simple process to work.
    I have original footage in FCP opened and I am working on resyncing VO over audio in STP.
    In FCP, I select all and "send to Soundtrack PRO Multitrack"
    The project opens in STP, but when I make changes, deleting original source audio tracks and replace them...SAVE the progress but I go back to FCP to see my work updated, as it does in Motion when you send it out, BUT NOTHING IS UPDATED or changed in FCP!!
    What am i not doing, or doing wrong???? I refuse to do any further tedious syncing if my work won't ultimatley be updated in FCP to finalize the project.
    PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN.
    -Mike

    it's a stop motion project, so the compressor was set to photo-jpeg, field dominance to none, video processing to "render in rgb". the timeline also contained livetype dynamic fonts and textures on top of the pictures. in the middle of my work i spotted a few artifacts and eventually managed to get rid of them by setting field dominance to lower field. in a few moments, i noticed the livetype textures had gone invisible.

  • Please Help! iPod will not sync!

    i plugged my ipod touch into the computer so i could transfer my purchases and it said "backing up ipod" so i waited a while and it finally finished. then it said there was an error and the screen on my ipod looks like this:
    http://www.myallo.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/connect-to-itunes.jpg
    So i ejected it and put it back in. then the computer would not recognize my ipod and the connect ipod to itunes screen will not go away. i'm not sure what to do! please help! i would really appreciate any help because i need my ipod tomorrow night. thank you all so much :]

    Just to clarify, you have synched your iPod before, right? This has happened a few times with my touch, and I would just suggest restarting your computer and iPod (by holding down the hold button). Then try synching again. Hope it works!

  • PLEASE HELP! itunes will not start!

    I just downloaded itunes 7.0 when it finished, it told me that itunes installation was not complete because Quicktime was a 7.0, and it had to be the 7.3 version.
    I then went ahead and downloaded itunes 7.0 again....and everything was fine.
    but now i can't open itunes! i keep clicking and clicking...please help! it's urgent!
    thank you!

    I had same problem. Installed Itunes 7, installation appeared ok and then I kept clicking on the icon and nothing would happen except I'd get more frustrated.
    I uninstalled Itunes 7 thru add/remove programs. I tried uninstalling quicktunes, wouldn't let me. I then went to explorer, deleted the itunes and quick times folders. My music is located in my documents/my music so it didn't effect my music. Then I turned off my norton antivirus and re-installed itunes 6.0.5 which you can still find and download from itunes website.
    Itunes 6.0.5 worked fine. I found those directions thru google and they work great.
    I don't know how Apple will sell all those movies and games if they can't get itunes 7 working. I've told everyone I know to avoid it. They took a good system and screwed it up.
    Good luck.
