Please Help, iTunes has taken my right to play certain songs

Please Help, iTunes has taken my right to play certain songs.
These were free songs with coco-cola codes some time ago.
Now in Mtn Lion it has took the playing rights from me and locked them off!
Anybodys help on this subject is much appreciated...

Yes it worked,
Right-click in it > Show in Finder. Finally, right-click in that file > Get Info > Sharing & Permissions. See if you have got read permission,
Clicked through the Get Info > Sharing & Permissions and when I closed the window the song played again.
Not sure why but it worked for me!

Please HELP, "iTunes has stopped working" error after connecting iPod video

People please help me out! I have a Razer Blade gaming laptop with Windows 8 64bit.
I have an iPhone 5, iPad 2 and an iPod video (80GB). I had some weeks from not connecting the iPod to my computer, but this morning that I did so I can upload some new music to it, iTunes just crash, I get the "iTunes has stopped working" error message when I connect the iPod video. I do not have this problem with either the iPhone 5 or the iPad 2, when I connect these, iTunes works fine, once I connect the iPod, then all goes down
Procedures that I already tried and that were unsuccessful to solve the problem:
Uninstall Quicktime
Uninstall iTunes and reinstall
Reset the iPod (several times)
Delete TEMP files on computer
Restart the computer (several times)
Use a different cable and a different USB port
The iPod is working fine, if I plug it to my car stereo or if I use it with headphones it works great, no problems nor errors. My computer also identify the iPod as a hard disk, no error messages from Windows, it is just the freakin' iTunes that freezes everytime that I plug the iPod
PLEASE HELP ME OUT, I've searched forums on this particular issue but with no luck.
Thanks very much!

It is only when I attempt to add a song to my iPod once plugged in that I receive the error "Itunes has stopped working" and forces me to exit the program, without the song being successfully transferred.
Do you have the "Convert to 128 kbps AAC" preference enabled for syncing to the iPod, laur?
If so, it's quite plausible that you've got the iTunes 10.1.0.54 bug and we need to get you updated to 10.0.1.56 as per the following document:

Please help: Premiere has slowwed to a crawl.

Hi, I am a photographer and video editor. I built my computer about 15 months ago to work with CS5 and the Mecury Playback Engine. In the past few months it has been slowing down at an alarming rate. Over the holidays I created a video montage of pictures from my brother's wedding and Premiere kept stopping with an error that read something like 'Open GL driver failed' adding something about 'lack of memory'. I had to switch to software mode and avoid playing the timeline (to avoid rendering each photo, there were well over 100) so I could finish it in time. And now a project I am getting paid for will no longer play back smoothly. I get about 1 second of smooth video before it starts jumping and freezing all together. The audio continues but the picture does not. Here's what I have.
Intel Core i7 950 (quad core) 3.07GHz
12.0 GB Ram
Windows 7 Pro 64bit SP1 fully updated
Nvidia GTX 470 w/ 1280 MB GDDR5
current driver. 285.62
C: 60GB SSD for system and programs 4.64GB free
E: 300GB 10000 rpm 16MB cache VeliciRaptor Drive for Project files preview files/scratch disks and such 134GB free
G: 1TB 7200 rpm 32MB cache Barracuda Drive for Assets 158GB Free
I have 2 other drives but they are not used in this workflow.
Page file = 36859 automatically managed
My Power Usage plan is set to High Performance.
I am editing in Premiere Pro CS5.5.2 (003 (MC: 258762))
The programs I have running in the background are: Realtek HD Audio Manager, NVIDIA Settings, Zone Alarm (security), Dropbox 1.1.45, Spyder3Utility, and as of today Spybot.
The Project is a short 10-12 min Documentary type video. It's mostly interview footage with various B-roll interspersed. The main timeline I use is 4 video and 4 audio layers. The fourth layer in both is turned off to holding stuff. There is not much in them. Layer 1 is pieces of another timeline. That timeline consists of 2 layers of interview footage from 2 angles with a third audio track from the zoom recorder all synced and color corrected. I adjust opacity here to pick which camera angle to use, but cut this timeline together in my main timeline to minimize sync problems and added color correction steps. In the main timeline, video layers 2 and 3 are B-roll. audio layers 2 and 3 include one short sound effect and a few pieces of music. Some of the music has been slowed or sped up to fit the timing needed. Premiere quickly renders that sound when I start up the project or make changes to those files in the timeline.
All audio is either MP3 or WAV files.
Most of the video is Canon DSLR footage (5D mkII, 7D, and 60D I believe). All 1920x1080 30p (a couple 24p by accident) there are some Jpegs, TIFFs, and one PNG file. Many of the pictures are housed in sub timelines with 2 layers. one with a moving picture and the other with a Gaussian blurred version in the background to fill the frame. There are some timelapeses that are of various sizes but nothing smaller than full HD. 2 are MP4 videos and the rest are quicktime.
All my timelines are preset for DSLR footage at 1920x1080 30fps.
Almost the entirety of my timeline has the little yellow line over it indicating that we should be hardware rendering this footage.
A few things about how I have worked with this computer. I built it for CS5. When I first started using it, it was brilliant. Lately The whole computer has slowed, a lot. last week I uninstalled some extraneous programs and tweaked somethings. Most everything on the computer is now running back up to snuff. Premiere is not. It is too the point that I cannot edit and a new edit of the project is due this Friday. When I first started using this computer I got some noise from the GPU and CPU fans when I would load up a heavy duty project. That made sense it was making the computer work. Now I get almost no noise from either fan and the thing runs like crap when I am editing. This doesn't make sense to me. Has something changed with an update of Premiere that changes the way it leverages the hardware, cause I doesn't seem to be doing that at all. Or might I have unknowingly flipped a switch somewhere that changed that leverage. In the Project Settings the Video Rendering and Playback is still set to Mercury Playback Engine GPU Accelerated. On the same line I have noticed much less fan noise when rendering with Media Encoder. I can't say I've seen a huge hit in performance there, but it doesn't seem to be taxing the GPU like it used to.
Please help if you can. I don't have time in my life to start the computer over with a fresh install on windows. Thanks so much.
Michael

Michael,
When you post to the CS5/5.5 Forum, also list the specs. on your Virtual Memory (Page File), how it's managed, and where it is located. With only 4.6GB of free-space on your C:\, if your Page File is located there, you have run out of space on that SSD.
I would also suggest editing without Zone Alarm and the spyware sweeper, and any active anti-virus program.
Good luck, and see you in the PrPro Forum.

Please Help; Windows 7 Home Premium to Professional.

In requirement for an IT class, I installed Windows 7 Professional over my Windows 7 Home Edition installation on my netbook. I have encountered a seriously problem though, as Windows 7 Professional seems to be stuck in Safe Mode and will not let me connect
to the internet (The little red X is next to the networking icon on the bottom right hand of the screen, despite my Ethernet cable being plugged in). I must have done the installation wrong
I need to restore my old windows configuration (that's in my Windows.old file) and be able to connect to the internet. Can anybody help me?

I will suggest you to check and update Network drivers and check the results. Or you can share a screenshot from device manager if you're not sure.
Here's an article for downgrade : http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/downgrade-windows-7-enterprise-to-ultimate-professional-or-home-premium-edition/

HT1331 Please help Windows user find disk on network...I'm stumped

I'm running Windows Vista and Windows 7 on another PC. Neither can even connect with the AIrPort Extreme by typing 10.0.1.1 in my browser. It shows up fine with AirPort Utility, it's IP is in fact 10.0.1.1. Internet works, file sharing from PC to PC works. I tried turning off the firewall, tried all the suggestions on this site as well.
Because 10.0.1.1 doesn't work in my browser I can't even get to the step of mounting the drive via Map Network Drive since it won't recognize 10.0.1.1 let alone \\10.0.1.1\My Book\.
Using Airport Utility and choosing Disk I can see the disk just fine, it's just not accessable via the network.
I'm connected to the internet via a DSL modem and my basestation is the PPPoE client set to be a DCHP server.
Also, I can ping 10.0.1.1 no problem.
Please help. I'm stumped.
Thank you.

I got a hold of a Mac and when I typed \\10.0.1.1 in it's browser it crashed Safari every time. So that didn't get me far.
You do not open network resources in a browser.. you do not use double backslash in any OS except windows..
To open the TC disk in Mac OS.. just open finder..
The Time Capsule should list in finder under shared.
It is automagical.. but if you do need to open it.. use the Go .. Go to Server in the top menu of finder and type AFP://10.0.1.1
Or SMB://10.0.1.1
If you still have the Mac available please try again. If it does not show up in finder.. even if the disk shows up I think you have formatted it wrongly.
Exactly what format is the disk?? TC has very limited formats it can read.. basically FAT32 and HFS+..
Please plug the disk into the Mac and format the disk HFS+.. you can still write to it from a PC on the network. HFS+ is far superior format to FAT32.
Once the Mac can read it connected to the AEBS then the windows computers can work. without the Mac working the PC will never see it.

Have downloaded my library from a portable hard drive to itunes but not showing in library on home site please help windows 8

trying to download music from portable harddrive and wont go to I tunes library saving as I tunes link. working on windows 8..... Please help

I'm not sure if iTunes will like to run those files if they're on an external drive. Honestly I've never tried. Have you tried dragging a few songs, maybe an album, into your 'music' part of your drive, then try to import them into iTunes?
I moved computers a couple of months ago and that's waht I did, saved my music to a portable drive, then dragged it back onto my C drive and into the music folder, then imported it into iTunes.

PLEASE HELP windows vista langu

I have tried to change the original language my windows vista program came in which is spanish into english. I have tried to do everything i can and read all the options/ isntructions it told me, but nothing changes the language. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

First off all this forum is for discussions about Creative's soundcards in Windows Vista and not a general Vista forum. Second I don't think you can change the language in Windows. I think you have to buy a new copy of Vista that is in english. I may be wrong, but I don't think so.

How to get storage on my phone again. PLEASE HELP this has been an issue for a LONG time now.

almost ALL of my iphones memory is being taken up by "other" i only have 1 GB of pictures & under 1 GB of apps. I actually had to delete all my apps just so i would still have space on my phone. I am not looking to buy more memory. My family cant really waste our money on that kind of stuff right now. I have tried restarting my phone but when i back up to icloud my phone is full of memory still. No i have no problem with getting all my pictures off my computer. But is there a way to reset my phone and ONLY keep my contacts. No other memory stays on my phone just my contacts. that way other will go away? If i need to go to the apple store i will go there. I just need to know what to do. another question i had was, now that i downloaded the icloud pannel, if i were to delete my icloud backup account, would all my information, like contacts, notes, reminders, etc, still be saved on icloud.com ? so i could just reset my phone completely. Get all my contacts off of icloud.com. & download all my pictures from my laptop onto my phone. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ANSWER. this has been a major problem for me for about a year & now its getting to the point where theres nothing left i can do. It's really stressing ALWAYS having to get online to try to find a way for my phone to not run out of storage. Please and thank you.

K8N Neo2 Platinum w/amd64 3500
1 gig of kingston mem
200 gb and a 60 gb Maxtor sata drives (non raid setup)
A cd burner and a dvd burner
I can post and boot to bios with no problems and everything shows up fine.
I insert Win xp pro cd and everything goes well and then all of a sudden it starts saying it can't find files on the cd while copying them onto the hard drive. I have tried several times and it always happens, sometimes different files. I have also tried an Win XP Home cd with the exact same results. The Win xp pro cd came with the SP2 on it.
I have tried many combos on my drives: installing on the 200gb, installing on the 60gb, unplugging one or the other, plugging in to sata 1/2 and sata3/4!!!! I have also reinstalled all the hardware again, checking each cable as I went along. I also reseated the cpu and cleaned thermal compound, but fresh on and hooked up fan (Zalman cnps7000a)
I HAVE NOT installed the raid drives when xp ask for the f6 thing. I don't want raid, just 2 drives.
PLEASE Any help will be greatly appreciate!!!!!

Hi. I just popped onto the forums to post a topic almost identical to this one, but with a few key differences - so I'd thought I'd stick it in here instead of taking up space.
Here's the gist of things -
My Dad and I recently built a PC over Christmas (well, he built, I watched and drank tea.), and it worked fine - half life 2 was downloaded and then completed. Now however, the problems have begun. (this isn't about half life 2, by the way.)
First, the specs - (I know these need more detail, such as PSU and voltages. I'll add those soon.)
MSI K8N Neo2 Nvidia nForce 3 Ultra Chipset motherboard
Athlon 64 Bit 3000+ CPU
1GB Corsair RAM
160 GB Sata Hard Drive
nVIDIA GeForec 6800 GT
Windows XP Home Edition SP2
Bios V 1.3
Plus onboard sound, floppy/7-in-1 card reader and DVD/CD RW. I'll post the motherboard specs later, I'm at work at the moment and I can't remember them.
Right, down to business - I tried to connect and install an external wireless LAN card through a USB connection (I know this card works as it was used on my old PC) and to cut a long story short, I messed it up by using the wrong drivers - and I made things worse by trying to fix it in a hurry, basically screwing up windows. So, I'd thought I'd re-format the hard drive and re-install windows. It was a new PC, there was nothing important on it, and I thought it was about time I learnt how to do a format anyway.
Now the problem - despite formatting my hard drive (and thus removing the old, bad, copy of windows) Windows XP Home will now not complete its installation.
It gets through to the third part of the installation (i.e. my computer has rebooted twice so far) where it asks you questions like "Lets set up windows together" and "Lets choose your automatic update settings". Here, (and I've tried this formatting/reinstallatino twice) the PC reboots for no reason, and the standard "Your computer has restarted due to a failure" on a black screen with white writing pops up - offering to start normally, with last known good configuration or in safe mode.
Still with me? Phew, almost there...
Now, whatever I choose, the computer reboots again and then a BLUE screen with white writing pops up saying my computer was turned off in order to stop damage occuring. Here's a summary of the writing including what I thought were the important points:-
"DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Disable bios memory options like caching or shadowing
STOP: 0x0000000D1 (0x00FFFFE3, 0x00000002, 0x0000000, 0xF7AD24EB)
Usbochi.sys-address F7AD24EB base at F7ACF000, Datestamp 41107d6"
Also, two more important points. When my dad was putting together the PC, we made changes to the bios, AFTER windows was installed. (Although I'm at work and haven't got them with me yet - I'll post them later.) This means these changes are still present - could they be causing the problem? (And hence would resetting the CMOS help?)
Secondly, I have a SATA hard drive. I've already tried using the SATA drivers from floppy during windows installation, but when I do this the same problem occurs, even earlier - this time windows doesn't even finish copying basic setup files. It jams on "cdaudio.sys" and then crashes to the blue screen.
Any suggestions or ideas you guys have would be of great help - I'm all out of them myself!
(Also, one more point - I conducted the format by changing the bios boot setting to boot from CD, then booting from the windows CD, then deleting the partition/formating the HD/re-installion windows in this manner.)
Remember - a big shiney hug for the first person to help me back to half life 2 goodness!
Cheers,
Spurros.
EDIT - the floppy I used to install the SATA drivers had nforce 3 SATA RAID driver (G72-NVSA020) written on it.

Please help, Windows install screwed up

Hey Guys, i've researched and followed all your guys' advice when installing windows via bootcamp. Last night, i got my vista SP1 OEM cd and followed bootcamps install procedures. It didn't give me an option to choose NTFS or VAT. I inserted my windows CD, it restarted, then when following the instructions I couldn't choose the bootcamp partition because it stated it wasnt an NTFS format. Well i left the house and my fiance didn't know what happened so she turned off the mac and tried restarting it. Now when it starts up, it gets to the windows green bar going across the screen then just stops. I can't get the CD out, i can't do anything past that point. I really need your guy's help.
Thanks.
(i have a intel imac btw)

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
to get the Vista DVD out, try restarting your Mac while holding down the left mouse button.
usually that ejects the DVD.
After that's done:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Hold down the Option key during restart to run Startup Manager.
3. Once Startup Manager appears, select the Mac OS X volume.
4. Launch Boot Camp Assistant.
5. Select Create or Remove a Windows Partition and click Restore.
6. Check with System Preferences - Startup Volume if your OSX volume is set to be the Default startup volume
7. Might be good to do a reboot of your Mac at this point.
That gets rid of the BootCamp Windows partition for now and puts you back to square one.
Have a look at the pages 6-11 of the BootCamp Install Guide to be found here http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Hope it helps
Stefan

Please help iPOD has songs, but iTunes has none...I'm very stupid, HELP!!!

When I say I am very stupid, I'm serious. I thought I was get more space by deleting the itunes folder under my applications. I thought it wouldn't affect iTunes, cuz when I was delting it, songs were still playing. After I deleted, exclamation points started showing up...so I deleted all of the music in iTunes also. I still have all the songs in my iPOD, but none in my iTUNES. I tried using Senuti but says this... There was an error refreshing the iPod "(null)". The error could be due to the fact that the iPod is being used by Senuti. Please try again in a few seconds. If the problem persists, please report it. Yea, so iPOD rip doesn't work either as after I put my mouse over the songs, they dissapeared. I even re-downloaded iTunes, that didn't do anything...I am really stupid. Please can anyone help me? Again, I have all songs on my iPOD, but none on my iTunes...it was there before, but deleted the iTunes folder to save more space.

There's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to your Mac at this link which you could try: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
