Reinstalled software on mac pro, now can't sync mac pro, macbook, iphone, iPad. tried to rip a cd to iTunes, was told i didn't have access to itunes media folder or a folder inside it. i was directed to go to finder to deal with it. nothing helped.
I've had big problems since the reinstall. can't use past itunes purchases, can't share properly across my different devices. all my devices use the same login in id and password. still, my main computer - the mac pro, which i did the reinstall on - is treated like a stranger. it's a big hassle, because i'm use phone, macbook, and mac pro interchangeably. today i tried to rip a cd to itunes on the mac pro (where I have 500 gigs of music on one of the hard drives). i was told i dont have access to itunes media folder or a folder within it. to change permissions i should open the itunes media folder in the finder and change the permissions. i tried changing permissions (the box at the bottom of the info box), and had no luck.
if anyone can help me, i'd appreciate it.
You haven't been hacked, you just have problems with your system. What those problems might be I have no idea, as your posts are a bit rambling and unclear.
What I would recommend is to find a nearby Apple Store and take the time to bring your machine in to the Genius Bar there. (Make sure to make an appointment first!) You can do all this from the [Apple Retail Store page|http://www.apple.com/retail>. A Genius can look at the machine and help solve the problems. If your communication style and level of knowledge about computers makes it difficult to communicate with techs on the phone or internet, as it sounds like has been the case, this hands-on help could make all the difference.

I don't have access to a PC or mac with itunes and I am currently using an Android phone. Is there any way to log on through the web?
Auto-renewing subscriptions can only be managed on a computer's iTunes or on and iOS device (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
If you don't have access to a computer which has iTunes on it then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can do it for you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption -
administrative permission, or something. What? I installed the last one just fine. ??
Hi,
In Windows Vista® and Windows 7®, regardless of your permissions, you can run any application as an administrator. To run an application as an administrator, right-click the filename and select Run As Administrator. Provide the administrator ID and password when prompted.
If you need more help, contact your system administrator.
For Macintosh computer please follow the below link: http://kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&id=SOLN2592&locale=en_US

I cannot sync my 4s. If I uncheck all items on my library it doesn't remove all music from my phone. If I try to update manually I do not get the drag and drop options that the user guide states I should?
Did you check "Manually manage music and videos" in iTunes before you tried to drag and drop?

my photoshop elements and Lightroom serial numbers won't work for my new mac. I bought these softwares via download on my windows laptop but returned that laptop because the quality was not great. I decided to buy a mac and now can't use my serial numbers to download the software.
Moving this discussion to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum.
Stephylei you will want to download the Mac versions of the installation files. If you purchased the software from Adobe, and choose the download option at the time of purchase, then the download will be available under your account. You can find more details at Find a download link on Adobe.com. -

H.264 video should be supported by your basic Snow Leopard operating system. The DVCPRO HD family of codecs is part of the Apple "Pro" codecs package which is normally installed as part of a "Pro" video editing suite installer or contemporaneously installed separately as part of one of the newer pro editing apps like FCPX. if you already have one of these pro suites or apps installed or available, then re-install the correct codec package that is missing. If not, you will need to purchase a Pro suite or app to be able to install the required codec package. -
downloaded acrobat reader 11 onto my Mac Book Pro, it can open the file but will not print. Get a message that says PDF cannot be printed, however, I forwarded it to someone else and they could print it, no problem. I called HP and spent an 1hour with them and then called Apple support and worked with them for 3 hours. No one can figure it out. Is there something wrong with this version? the pdf was created in 2004. Do I have to pay to get Acrobat?
Let me give you a slightly different perspective than everyone else here. You are using an unsecured wireless network, which means that all your network traffic is easily available for viewing by anyone else using that network. That's bad. Very bad, for you, unless you absolutely trust everyone who lives within range of this network. So stop doing it.
As to the Mac not connecting, wireless networking is simply too complex for any reasonable answer without more information. There are many possible error points, and as often as not it's the Mac that can connect and the Windows PC that cannot. Since you can't give us any information about the configuration of the neighbor's network, and can't make any changes to it, we can't do much to help you troubleshoot it. -

Can i sync more than 1 iPhone to my i tunes account on my mac book pro?
can i sync more than 1 iPhone to my i tunes account on my mac book pro?
Yes, and you DO NOT have to have the "exact same info on it" as chrisfromgastonia says. That is not true. You can have whatever content you like on each device, iTunes will keep it all straight, by device, including separate backups.

I want to access my itunes account on my parents computer. It already has another itunes account on it. I no longer have the original computer that my itunes account was on. How do I access my itunes now in these circumstances?
I can try, but I don't understand your problem.
What device are you using?
Do they have a Mac or a PC?
Do they have devices they are using?
What do you want to access? Do you want to sync that information you access? -
My HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't print from my MacBook Air
Hi,
My HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't print from my MacBook Air. It keeps on showing "The printer is not connected", but the screen on the printer shows connected. I often reset the printer 'EVERY TIME" I want to use it. I also tried to turn off my laptop and printer several times before printing. If I'm lucky enough, it will work maybe for one or two prints. If no luck then I'll have to reset everything again. Sometimes I reset the printer, the printer will not show on my selection.
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hello boojoo1tw,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're unable to print most times with your Officejet 8600. How is this printer connected? Wireless or USB? What is your operating system on your Mac computer? Click here to find out.
If your printer is wireless, then I would recommend assigning a "Static IP Address" by following this HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.
