Possible solution for those of us who can't pause our purchased songs

Well, a bunch of us can't play songs purchased from the iTMS store. One workaround i found is to use this program called "HYMN" (http://www.hymn-project.org/) which will strip the protection from the song and allow you to play it. However, it doesn't work if you're using iTunes 6.0. seems a little drastic, but believe it or not, we want to be able to listen to the songs we buy.

Interesting my n75 syncs with Missing Sync. But my friends does not and it won't pair with the Mac running Leopard as well. Sounds just like the firmware issue that the n73 has.
My n75 has firmware V 10.2.055 connects and syncs to Leopard
My friend has firmware V 20.1.172 connects to Tiger, does not connect to Leopard.
To see your firmware version, type *#0000#

10.5.3 update -A possible solution for those who have hard spinning fans!!!

Hey people!
I've been diggin around the internet for a solution to this problem... I couldn't find anything at all till I started to mess with my macbook around... I tried to reindex the spotlight by deleting the previous indexed list of files with an app called "spotless" but nothing happened. I even tried to reset the SMC - system management controller - but still nothing happened... I tried some other things out but I had come out unsuccessful TILL... I remembered myself to try all this out in safe mode....
This was so far the strangest thing I've ever experienced on a mac... by entering in safe mode the fans just started to ramp down and my laptop returned to what it used to be! Just that - entering on safe mode! After entering and after listening to the fans loosing speed, I rebooted in normal mode and my laptop was healthy again!
To start up into safe mode (to "Safe Boot"), do this:
- Be sure the computer is shut down.
- Press the power button.
- Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
Tip: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
P.S. - if you get lucky with this procedure just reply me and spread the word!
Good luck!

Actually... it really solved the problem for me! My computer have sounded like a jet plane for the last couple of days. But I'm not sure if the only solution is to boot into safe mode. I recommend you to do like this:
1.) Remove the spotlight indexes and disable the service if you don't use it. You can use Spotless to do this. You find it here: http://mac.softpedia.com/progDownload/Spotless-Download-9834.html
2.) Reset the SMC. Om a MacBook, you turn the computer off and remove AC and the battery. Hold the power button for about 10 seconds. Insert the AC but NOT the battery and boot the computer. Shut it down and install the battery.
3.) After the SMC reset, boot the computer into safe mode by holding the shift key during boot up.
4.) Let the fans spin down in safe mode for a couple of minutes.
5.) Restart the computer into normal mode and the fans should now be spinning normally again!
This worked for me, but only in the order above!

Here's a possible solution for those w/Ellipsis 7 memory problems

My husband is having the exact same problem with his Ellipsis 7 tablet that MANY of you have posted about: not enough app space memory. Meanwhile, I have the same tablet, purchased at the same time and place with NO PROBLEMS.
After help from ANTHONY (amazing assistance) thru Verizon Tech Support, we found the difference in our tablets and a SOLUTION.
CHECK YOUR TABLET'S SOFTWARE VERSION by:
1. going to Settings,
2. clicking on About Tablet, and
3. scrolling down to Software Version.
You want it to say MV7A_31D25_422A (my tablet) and NOT MV7A_31D26_422 (my husband's).
My husband's tablet is going back for his software to be reconfigured to match mine. I understand your frustration and truly hope this solves your problem as well.

I spent 6 hours trying to get itunes to recognize my
nano the first time and none of the "troubleshooting"
tips worked. I was getting the message "the software
to connect with your ipod is not installed properly"
when I'd try to connect my nano. Windows was
recognizing it, but iTunes wasn't. Here's how I
solved the problem.
1. click on the start button in the lower left
corner.
2. select Settings and click Control Panel
3. select Administrative Tools (you may need to
switch to "Classic Look", located on the left hand
side if you're using XP before you can see the
Administrative Tools folder)
4. select Services
5. scroll down the list of services on the right hand
side of the Services window and look for iPodService
6. look across the iPodService for the Startup Type
column (it should will say either Automatic, Manual,
or Disabled)
7. double-click on whatever it has listed for
iPodService under Startup Type (it will probably have
Manual, or Disabled)
8. a pop-up window will appear, under the General tab
in the middle of the window will be a drop-down
window, select Automatic
9. click Apply
You should be good, to go from here. It worked for
me. I recommend re-starting your computer, but it
might not be necessary. After I switched iPodService
to Automatic I haven't had a lick of trouble
connecting my Nano.
I hope this helps.

Possible solution for those suffering from poor battery life - data dropouts etc...

I was having the same bizarre data dropouts - an FDR and cache wipe with no app/data/settings restore fixed it for me, yes it IS a pain in the rear - YES it will take a couple hours if you have a ton of apps and accounts - YES it IS worth it, phone is working as it should now!
Cache Wipe:
Press and hold the Power button and turn the phone off.
When the screen turns off, press and hold Volume Down and Power.
When the white HBOOT screen appears, use the volume button to move down to “RECOVERY.”
Press the Power button to select “RECOVERY.”
When the triangle and exclamation appears, hold the Volume Up and Power button at the same time.
Using the volume button, scroll down to “Wipe cache partition” and select it.
Select “Reboot system now.”
Before doing the FDR do this:
Menu-->System Settings-->Privacy-->under the Backup & Restore items clear the Automatic Restore checkbox.
***NOTE*** By doing this you will lose everything on the phone and internal storage(NOT on the microSD) - you will have to manually reinstall all apps, setup all accounts etc...it take awhile to do but it has solved 99% of the issues I was having: dragginess, dropped 4G, poor battery life etc...
Factory Data Reset
From the screen of your phone, press the Menu button
Tap System Settings.
Scroll down and tap Privacy
Tap Factory Data Reset
Check Erase internal storage if you would like to erase all the data on the phone internal storage such as applications, music, movies or photos.
Tap Reset Phone

I'm deaf in one ear and need a stereo-to-mono earbud so I can use my iPod and iPhone. It is not good being able to hear only one channel. Can Apple consider making such a thing for those of use who need such a thing?

Possible solution for white C2D iMacs with screen artifacts or lines

I have a white 20" Core 2 Duo iMac with the famous screen artifacts issues. Screen tearing, horizontal lines, goofy pixels, you name it. From my research it seems there are countless others with these problems.
I tried running the SMC fan control app to boost fan speeds. This helped a little, but did not completely solve the issue. A lot of people think these issues are related to heat, and I agree, but only partially. When a graphics chip overheats it is eventually damaged. I have damaged my share of graphics chips while overclocking them in my PCs. In the case of my iMac and maybe plenty of others, I still have issues if the GPU is hot or cold.
I installed WinXP using bootcamp. I finally found an application which will change the clock speed of the GPU on the fly. The X1600 GPU in my iMac has a 475Mhz core speed and 500Mhz memory speed. I cut these down to 400Mhz on the core and 400Mhz on the memory. At these lower speeds I no longer have any issues with screen tearing, horizontal lines, or random crashing. I do still have a few wierd pixels here and there, but they are not all that noticeable and I can live with them.
Now for the fun part. I wanted to permanently fix these speeds into my GPU so when I boot back to Mac OS X, I don't have any issues, and I no longer have to boost fan speeds or run any additional apps. I spent most of today taking apart my iMac, putting DOS on a spare SATA hard drive, and running an external monitor while booting my iMac with the spare drive hanging out the side. All this so I can run ATIflash, and use it to dump an image of the GPU BIOS ROM file.
Well, I ended up finding out the ATI GPU has no ROM to flash. My best guess is open firmware or something like that passes this data on to the GPU when the system boots.
So, in my case slowing the GPU down significantly reduced my problems while running within windows. I am 100% confident slowing the GPU down will also improve issues within Mac OS X, but I have no way to pull this off.
If Apple reads this, or if anyone has any connections at Apple, can we please get an optional firmware update to reduce the speeds of the X1600 GPU? It won't fix all the iMacs with these issues, but it will fix quite a few, and for those out there who don't have any issues at all with their white C2D iMacs, lowering the GPU speeds will most likely prevent damage from inevitably occurring, keeping them a happy customer.
Now, some of you may not like the idea of a slower GPU, but if I have to pick between a slower GPU and an $800 logic board, I will take the slower GPU any day.

HT6147 Why haven't they done a patch for those of us who have not updated and prefer to use iOS 6?

Why haven't they done a patch for those of us who have not updated and prefer to use iOS 6?

Totally agree with Andy. Apple needs to support its users whether or not they decide to update to iOS 7.
The reviews from i Pad 3 owners (like me) is that when they've updated to iOS 7 they've experienced latency and sluggishness. Why would I ruin a perfectly good iPad by updating to iOS 7?
Please let me know where I can find a patch for iOS 6.
Thanks!

For those of you who have the "Perfect Timing" ringtone from the commercial

I posted this in the plain 'ol phone forum but haven't got a response yet. I hope I get one here.
For those of you who have the ringtone from the iPhone TV commercial -- do you remember what portion of the song (or can you check in iTunes) you used for the actual ringtone? If you could tell me the counter (in seconds and minutes) that you started and ended your tone at, that would be great. I'm trying to get it exactly like the commerical but I don't think I have it just right. Thanks! By the way the song is called "Perfect Timing."

"I downloaded the free version of malwarebytes and ran it when my computer was in safe mode, which found 93 malware "issues" on my computer."
...and you're surprised that you had installation issues with iTunes? This makes me wonder whether others who report problems installing iTunes have computers that are equally infected! For reference, I just checked the logs from the last Malwarebytes scan (I run an automated scan twice a week) on my main iTunes system (on which, like the other iTunes instances I run, never seems to suffer from any installation issues) - zero issues

As I said, a weak or dead PRAM battery can reportedly cause odd startup issues. If it has never been changed in six years, that's a really long-lasting battery, even if the iMac was kept on continuously.
They are pretty cheap from the right source, so you may want to try changing it.

Error occurred in deployment step 'Uninstall app for SharePoint': Only users who can View Pages can list Apps

While deploying the SharePoint Hosted App I am facing the issue 'Uninstall app for SharePoint': Only users who can View Pages can list Apps"
- Provided the permissions for App Management and Subscription Services as well as DB.
- Added into Host web as SC Administrator
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
The user you are running with Visual Studio should have read permission on the pages of SharePoint web you are trying to deploying your app.
I suggest you add the login user to the SharePoint web in the “Site Settings”->”People and Group”.

Buy my problem of camels Store Lee games possible solution for me my problem?

Buy my problem of camels Store Lee games possible solution for me my problem?

This worked for me, sort of. A while back when I downloaded that windows update that installed the new version of IE, I noticed that IE wouldn't connect to the internet and pages wouldn't load. However, I thought nothing of it because I use Firefox and FF was working just fine.
I went into IE earlier this evening (it still wasn't working) and tried to follow your recommended steps. I got up to step 4 and IE froze. I tried closing it, reopening it and repeating the steps but it would always freeze at step 4. In another thread, someone was saying that iTunes released a security update and that fixed the store for them so I tried opening Apple Software Update and that froze. I tried it several times, nothing. Would always freeze. I even tried updating thru iTunes and IT would freeze.
Finally, I went to the control panel and uninstalled IE7. The iTunes store and the Apple Software Update program are now working! So thank you very much for your suggestion. Otherwise, it may have never clicked with me that IE was the problem.

PrintWindow api with possible solution for capture screenshot Google Chrome window

Hi,
as all you know, PrintWindow api give us a black image when us want a capture screenshot of Google Chrome window. So, a friend said me that a possible solution for this problem is:
Reduce Google Chrome window for -1px in both sides and after this, reset to original size. And so, will repaint again.
Based on code below, someone could help me make this? sincerely I don't know where begin.

What is Apple doing for those iMac owners who failed to have their Seagate HD replaced by April 12, 2013?

What is Apple doing for those iMac owners who failed to have their Seagate HD replaced by April 12, 2013?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you purchased the iMac less than 3 years ago and it has got one of the defective hard disks, Apple will still replace it for free. Make a backup of your files with Time Machine and take your computer to an Apple Store or reseller. A Genius will check if your Mac was purchased less than 3 years ago.
If the computer is older, you will have to pay. Note that if you already have the iMac on April 12th, 2013 and before, and you knew that your iMac had a defective hard disk, you should have taken it even if the hard drive was working correctly

Dear Apple...I know time marches on but unfortunately you have become useless to those of us who can't upgrade systems or afford Iphones. So my itunes is totally unavailalbe since ipods can't work w/Itunes 9, so all the $ I spent is out the window! I have been an apple mac user since the Blue Tower in early 2000. The fact that I recently replace a stolen Ipod Classic and it isn't compatible w/iTunes9 is really screwed up. You have failed many!

What is your question?
