S.M.A.R.T. was 'Failing'... now shows 'Verified'

Hello,
Yesterday I went into Disk Utility and found that S.M.A.R.T. on my hard drive was reporting 'Failing.' I immediately made a backup of my computer and put it to sleep. Today, S.M.A.R.T. in Disk Utility shows that the Hard Drive is 'Verified.'
How reliable is S.M.A.R.T.? Since S.M.A.R.T. now shows that the drive is 'Verified,' should I trust it? What are your opinions?
My feeling is to simply return the hard drive, since it is still under warranty. The only concern I have is Western Digital not accepting it if they find no fault. I suppose that's more of a question for Western Digital.
Thanks

Very good.

Means nothing.

Not at all. No. Get a new hard drive.

Western Digital isn't going to check it. They will just toss it in the trash. I don't know why people hang on to hard drives. The store all your data. When they go, they take your data with them and there is no way to get it back. You wouldn't think twice about returning a defective mouse. Well, the mouse retails for more than the hard drive.

Hello Ading,
It sounds like you were charged for an in App purchase but did not receive the item. I would report this issue to iTunes Store support with the following article:

Click Report a Problem next to the item you are having an issue with.
From the Choose Problem dropdown menu, choose the appropriate issue.
Follow the onscreen instructions and—if prompted—type a description of the problem into the text field.
Click Submit to have your issue reviewed.

HT4914 I purchased iMatch because my old computer was failing and I was afraid of losing my music library. Now I bought a new laptop; what is the best way for me to transfer my library to my new laptop? Will iMatch help me do this?

I purchased iMatch because my old computer was failing and I was afraid of losing my music library. Now I bought a new laptop; what is the best way for me to transfer my library to my new laptop? Will iMatch help me do this?

Is/was failing or has failed?
If the old computer still runs one of these methods may be best.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
I don't have personal experience with iTunes Match, but in principle you should be able to download all the tracks currently registered to your iTunes Match account. This isn't quite the same as restoring your previous library exactly as it was. There is always the potential for iTunes match to provide the wrong version of a song and could be content such as movies, podcasts, audiobooks etc. that would have been excluded.

I receive a massage that a new version of ITunes was available (11.1.4). I proceeded to update, the download went ok but when installing the Message “Service ’Apple Mobile Device’ failed to start, verify that you have sufficient Privileges to start system Services”
On pressing retry I got the same message.
On pressing Ignore, I got the message “ITunes was not installed correctly, please reinstall ITunes – Error 7 – (windows error 126)
I reinstalled with the same error messages and the same results.
I uninstalled existing and reinstalled from scratch and the same error messages again.
I try to repair and at the end it said it had installed correctly – but when it tried to start I got the message “This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem” I now get the same message when I first start the computer but when I press ok I receive ““ITunes was not installed correctly; please reinstall ITunes – Error 7 – (windows error 126)” again.
It appears the update has not only corrupted the operating system (Xp Pro SP3) of my computer but I have no backups to my IPhone, my wife’s IPhone or the three others phones that use my computer.
I hope you can advise me how to recover my backups

I can not update it was saying I could but not enough room I made room tried to update said failed now says iOS 6.1.3 up to date and no iOS 7 being offered to update what do I do

What does "other"other" mean? I was attempting to transfer my iPot music to my MacBook.That the music is gone is okey, however my iPod now shows about 35 Gs of "other"

I was attempting to transfer my iPod music to my MacBook.That the music is gone is okey, however my iPod now shows about 35 Gs of "other". Unless I hear otherwise I will delete it if someone tells me how.

The 35G of others is most probably your music, that got lost during a failed sync Operartion, which did not terminate correctly.
If you want to recover these, refer to an earlier post by Zeevoneer
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Would be good if you have the time to read the last paragraph, link to ilounge site.
Have a nice day.
PS: if you don't have the time, just Restore your iPod, and re-sync your library data to the iPod.

Just did the iTunes update that iTunes said was available, now iTunes won't open. I just keep getting a Runtime Error message.
R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the apps support team for more info.
Is anyone else having this problem?
I tried to re-install and got the following message: iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 1114)
Does this mean I have now lost everything?

I just had the same error:
R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the apps support team for more info.
I went to http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925 and did a complete removal and reinstallation of iTunes. You MUST follow the directions here exactly...it's more than just iTunes that must be removed, and it MUST be done in the order in which the support article says. I followed the exact instructions, and iTunes is back on my machine (no more C runtime error) and you do NOT lose your music...it's all in my library, as it was before.
Good luck!

HT204053 How to I get music I purchased before the iCloud was created to show up on my new authorized iPhone? Right now I can only see the Apps I recently purchased on the actual phone but older music I purchased on my CPU using the same Apple ID doesn't

How to I get music I purchased before the iCloud was created to show up on my new authorized iPhone? Right now I can only see the Apps I recently purchased on the actual phone but older music I purchased on my CPU using the same Apple ID doesn't appear.

Does any music show in the Purchased tab on the iTunes store app on your phone ? Music can't be re-downloaded in all countries, and even where it can be it will only appear whilst it remains in the store. Do you have your purchases on your computer and/or on a backup of your puchases so that you can sync them to your phone ?

On Windows 7 PC, got the "upgrade iTunes" notice, said sure, but the upgrade failed, now I can't access iTunes "invalid permissions"

On Windows 7 PC, got the "upgrade iTunes" notice this morning, said sure, but the upgrade failed, now I can't access iTunes "invalid permissions"
I wasn't paying attention so I don't know the precise error I got on the upgrade failure.
All other iTunes upgrades have been fine...no brainers. Done several on this W7 PC.
If I re-download and install a fresh iTunes I assume I will lose my library...true? Can I find and save off my library so I don't have to "discover" all my music which is scattered all over the PC and a 1T attached USB drive.
Or is there some way to get the iTunes upgrade to successfully restart and install correctly?
Help!

Hello there, Konami84.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some recomendations for troubleshooting:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
