Recently switched from Mac to WinXP-- now iPod doesn't show up at all!
As the subject says, I recently reset my iPod (the old black one with video) from my Mac to my Windows XP. I restored the iPod so that it would work on the Windows computer, and I let it sync, since I've got a good amount of songs. As I was syncing, I was also downloading Podcasts. Well, I ended up needing one of the ports to hook up my printer, and removed the port which connects to the internet. iTunes froze for a moment, and I quickly replaced the internet plug. iTunes told me that it could not locate the folder for my iPod, and the icon for my iPod disappeared. I unplugged the iPod from the computer and plugged it back in, but my computer doesn't even recognize that something is being plugged in. I've tried it in different ports but it won't show up at all.

I dragged I Movie from my I Mac to a flashdrive. Now it doesn't show on the flashdrive or I can't open it on the Mac. How do I retrieve the work?? Help
If you only dragged it, it should make a copy so it should still be on your hard drive.
It isn't clear if you dragged iMovie (the application itself) or your movie project. Which one is it?
How is the "flashdrive" formatted? -
Had to Restore-Now iPod Doesn't Show in MyComputer
Restored last night (no-I didn't accept the upgrade offered!) Now all kinds of weird things are happening. Most importantly, the iPod does not show under My Computer, you know with the C drive, A drive...etc...
I've had to restore twice before, this never happened before. Thanks for any help...where'd my iPod go??OH!!!!!
Sorry, never mind!
I forgot to marke the "Manually Manage Music and Video"
Duh, sorry. -
At first, when I would plug my iPod, it would show up as unrecognized device. Windows could find no software to install the iPod with, so I started searching for possible ways to solve this. I downloaded iTunes and it didn't show up there either. However, I tried plugging it into another computer and it works just fine, iTunes picks it up at once.
I found some solutions that involved enabling/disabling the iPod from Device Manager > Universal Serial Bus Controllers. It showed up in the list, I disabled it and then enabled it and nothing happened. I also tried following the R's and they didn't work either. I uninstalled the iPod from that list and, ever since then, whenever I plug the iPod into the computer, nothing happens. It isn't seen by the computer, nothing appears.
I have the latest version of iTunes. I tried other USB ports and they all give them same result. The iPod works just fine on another computer. What could I do?Page 55 ipod manual:

Switched from Mac to Windows -- Now my Serial # doesn't work
I recently bought a new computer that is a Windows unit -- my old laptop was a mac. I went to install my Creative Suite Software, and found that my serial code only works on Macs -- is there a remedy for this??
Hi Ryan,
Serial numbers are language & platform specific. So, you cannot use Windows serial key on Mac or vice-versa. However, you could get a platform swap done. Not sure, if this is applicable for your old version CS5.5 but it is worth a try. Order product | Platform, language swap
Cheers!

My iRadio doesn't show up. It isn't there at all.
Depending on what kind of computer you have, you're gonna need to put that backup in the appropriate folder or itunes is not gonna be able to see it for you to use.

I recently switched from a pc to the Mac and now I am unable to locate my music library in iTunes... any advice?
Your question is a little bit vague, can you be more specific? Are you trying to find your iTunes library on the PC so you can move it to the Mac? Have you already moved it to the Mac? Can you see the music in iTunes on the Mac, but want to find the folder where iTunes puts the music files?

recently switched from powermac to mac pro5 2x2.66GHz 6 -core xeon running FCP 7 on OS 10.6.8 exporting qt files and rendering project files now takes longer than my old machine looking at activity mon and % of user is aroun 6 and % of idle around 42 are all the cores being used with FCP7?

It's because the PowerMac G5 had HUGE bandwidth with a fat BUS on each processsor so they could run hard, hot and heavy.
It's not so with the Intel processors which are multi-core and share a common bus thus bottleneck.
The newer Intel processors can do more work on the CPU, but when it comes to in/out they are s-l-o-w.
I've had a wickedly fast dual processor (not dual core) G5, RAID 0 pair of 10,000 RPM drives as boot and a fast video card, I could do a lot very very fast.
You'll likely have to upgrade to Final Cut X to get more cores utilized, prepare to cry a little bit, Apple is working on the features they stripped out of it to make amends to pro users who complained loudly. (all over TV too)

Switching from mac to PC and using iTunes + iPod
I recently switched from PC to a Mac Mini. It's great, but I don't know how to move my music library from PC to Mac.
After that, what is the handling to do for using my iPod (previously used with PC) with my Mac now.
Thank youYeah, that's the first time I've heard that one (switching from Mac to PC). I know this doesn't pertain to your question, but why are you switching? I'm running Vista and my next comp will definitely be a Mac. In addition to AV, Antisypware, and a firewall, be sure to get a Registry cleaner and defragmenting program (unless you want to use the crappy one that comes with Windows). I'm looking forward to not having to spend so much time keeping Windows working right and money securing it.

Did Mac OS recently switch from 72 DPI to 96 DPI?
Did Mac OS recently switch from 72 DPI to 96 DPI?
I ask this because my MacBook renders text at 96 DPI, whereas I read everywhere that Mac OS (X?) renders text at 72 DPI, and MS Windows renders text at 96 dpi.
Note I'm only talking font points to pixels, not pixels to screen (which is dependent on the display).
For example, on TextEdit in plain text mode a 16 point font is rendered at 21 pixels, and that corresponds to 96 DPI (if it was rendered at 72 DPI, it would be 16 pixels instead of 21).
I had a look at the "System Profiler" > Graphics/Display, but I couldn't find a DPI value. It only mentions resolution (e.g. 1366x768).
So, do you know if Mac OS recently switched from 72 DPI to 96 DPI? And if yes, do you know at which version it made the switch?Thanks Kurt, but this was not the info I was looking for.
My point is, how comes my Mac is behaving as a 96 dpi OS, where this is not documented anywhere that I know of?
In fact, as I said, I've found plenty of documentation saying the mac is a 72 DPI OS
(for example, wikipedia) and, even after extensive googling, I have found none saying it is a 96 DPI OS?
In fact, everywhere it says Windows is a 96 dpi OS, and I've verified that.
Every rendering engine has a specific DPI count, which does NOT relate to the question "how many pixels (or points) do I need to specify if I want my text to be x inches tall" (by the way, I call that "pixel-to-screen" resolution, or "points-to-screen" resolution). That depends on the screen.
The DPI I'm talking about answers the question "how many points do I need to specify if I want my text to be x pixels tall". I call that the "points-to-pixel" resolution. That doesn't depend on the screen, it only depends on the OS (at least, when there's no "software" zoom, that's why I take TextEdit as a test on Mac, and Notepad on Windows). -

I recently switched from PC to Mac and am able to find and transfer most of the larger files of music to iTunes, but there are about 750 songs that are held in sub-files that require me to dig in and transfer them one by one to iTunes.. I've tried transferring the parent folders, but it doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know of a more efficient way of getting iTunes to dig into the subfolders and transfer the music without me having to go one by one?
There is a good general guide to switching from Windows to Mac at the following link that touches on moving music as well How to Move to a Mac - Get your stuff from your PC to your new Mac
