Popularity Rating using Bar Graphs on Itunes? What does it mean?
When I log onto Itunes, and I look at a particular band, like the band, "Without A Face,"
I see the "popularity rating," beside each individual song.
What does the popularity rating bar graph indicate? Does it represent the number of sales, of each individual song? Or, does it just represent the number of people, who are listening to each individual song?
How did you find out that popularity rating relates to the sale of each individual song?
It can't be related to anything else since iTunes can only track sales, not what people are listening to.
Does one black slash next to the song represent that the song has sold 10, 100, or 1000 times?
I doubt it's any of those. More likely it's relative to whatever else is displayed.
If a song sold 5,000, it could have 5 bars compared with other songs but it could also have no bars if it is compared to other songs that have sold 500,000.
Again, Apple has not published any info on exactly what the rating means or how it is derived..

I cannot eject my new ipod classic after sync with i-tunes on my pc due, it states, to open files being used by another application. What does this mean? How can I get my ipod to eject?
If it's a one-time "glitch," you can try restarting your computer with the iPod still connected. Try ejecting again after the restart.
If the problem recurs, you may have a process running (other than iTunes) that is accessing the iPod's storage. When connected, the iPod's "disk" is like other mounted volumes. This process may be some type of utility that continously monitors your mounted volumes for security reasons, such as to prevent access by malware.
If you know of such a program that you have running in the background, there may be a setting to exclude your iPod's disk. -
TS1398 the wifi bar is greyed out what does that mean?
The wifi bar is greyed out what does that mean?
If that doesn't work:
1. Backup to iTunes (NOT iCloud)—be sure to backup Apps
2. Delete all content
3. Set up as new—don't restore from backup
4. Restore from iTUNES (NOT icloud) backup
5. Then re-add your content. -

Airplay speaker unavailable. The speaker "apple tv" is currently being used by someone else. What does this mean amd how do I fix the issue so I can play my video through apple tv?
The video orientation is included with the video's EXIF data and the same for photos. It is that state of the art OS your computer is running that doesn't recognize or completely ignores the EXIF orientation data.
This link applies to photos but whatever Windoze application you are using to view videos should provide the same or similar.

When i open up itunes it displays the message, "an unknow error occured (-42110). What does this mean and how do i get rid of it?
Hello BROUN,
That specific error has to do with Movie Rentals.
From "iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting:"
This alert is related to iTunes Store movie rentals and authorization issues.
Make sure you are using the most recent version of iTunes and QuickTime. They both can be downloaded free of charge.
If your iTunes is up to date, remove the SC Info folder.
As the article says above, if you continue to have issues then refer to "iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases" for instructions on how to remove the "SC Info" folder.
Hope that helps,

I have some photos and videos on my macbook when I try to open them I get an error message that say movie.avi is used by Mac OS X and can not be opened.
What does this mean and is there some way I can view the video or photo or burn it to a cd and then view it?Well I will never know what happened with that file. I tried moving it again and got the error message again. Got another message after that saying do you want to continue to move items you can move (though this was the only file I was trying) I said continue and then the file disappeared off my system.
No idea what happened with it..... -
'Non-Fatal Error 5904'. LabView 7 application. 'Source: Comm Analyzer - CP Analog - Adjust Input Level.vi:CP RX Audio Muting.vi' (MRTE 3.0 - Anritsu CDMA Test System)

Here is the comment that was passed about the error source: Comm Analyzer - CP Analog - Adjust Input Level.vi:CP RX Audio Muting.vi
The application has been working fine for about 12 years, it continues to serve its purpose and the RF test equipment rack components are now obsoleted by newer models but it's still in weekly use and is kept calibrated annually but on occasion it unexpectedly throws an error like this while I'm using the test rack during a wireless RF parametrics test and it leaves me wondering if the root cause is the device under test or the test rack. That's why I was hoping to find a detailed description about the error code.

Ip being used by another device? What does that mean?
An error message popped up saying another device has been using my ip address. What exactly does this mean, and how can I fix this? Please help.
Do you have another computer, iPhone/Pad/Pod? This is usually no problem.
Usually if you enable your router for Automatic (DHCP) IP address distribution, your device's IP address on your local area network will change without you knowing.
By Linc Davis
Most likely, you're getting a network address from your router. The address assignment ("lease") expires, and has to be renewed, after a certain amount of time, which might be one hour or one day. The lease expired without being renewed because the device was offline at the time. Meanwhile, the address was leased to another device on the network. When the first device comes back online, it still has the address that's now also leased to the second device. Depending on what kind of router you have, the conflict may resolve itself automatically. If not, then from the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the TCP/IP tab. Now look at the menu labeled Configure IPv4. If the selection in that menu is Using DHCP, click the button labeled Renew DHCP Lease. Test.
Less likely, you have a network address that you assigned yourself, and another device is assigning itself the same address. In that case, the selection in the Configure IPv4 menu will be either Manually or Using DHCP with manual address. This kind of conflict won't be resolved automatically. You have the following options to resolve it:
Change the menu selection to Using DHCP.
Change the manually-assigned address to one that isn't being used by another device.
Change the address of the other device.
Which of these options you should choose depends on the details of why you're using a static IP address. Any change you make to the network settings must be applied before it takes effect. To do that, click OK and then Apply.
This happens to me all the time and has never been a problem. -

It probably means your version of iTunes is out of date. Click help (in iTunes) then click "Check for updates" if you need to update iTunes, it'll tell you to do that.

Can someone please help me?
There may be a background application running that accesses mounted volumes. The iPod storage "disk" is a mounted volume. For example, this applicaiton may be something that monitors for data corruption or malware ("viruses"). If you know of such an application that you have running, and it has settings that allow you to ignore particular volumes, set it to ignore the iPod's disk.
Alternately, if you use automatic syncing (instead of the manual method) to load the shuffle, turn OFF the Enable disk use setting (unless you actually use the iPod as a storage disk). With disk use NOT enabled, iTunes only mounts the iPod's disk when syncing. At other times, the iPod's disk is unmounted. Therefore, "other" applications cannot access the iPod's disk and make it "in use." Because the iPod's disk is not mounted (unless iTunes is syncing), you can actually disconnect the iPod without clicking the Eject button. -
