Shouldn"t they have some sort of esearch warrant before they go in to my personal space and lock out my music??

I just downloaded 10.2.2 last night. Before that I was having trouble with Itunes mixing up files - I'm pretty sure it happened when I downloaded new versions - it took me a while to notice something was wrong. I would have duplicates of a lot of songs. then I discovered they were not really duplicates - they were songs with some other name attached to it. A techie advised me to turn off the library search in Options and that may have helped. I downloaded 10.2.2. thinking it mighrt be better now but during installation part of the progress meter said something about scanning the library which made me go "Huh?" Now I find that large chunks of my library are simply not available to me to play, burn, or ??. They are still listed in the library but I get a message that says "...can't be located.."
     The ones I can't acess are: 1) an album that my daughter purchased on her computer. I understand we can add each other to our accounts and that will help. but 2) I have a player that burns from vinyl or tapes to disc. Some of those files - not all - are locked out, and 3) an album I purchased online from a recording entity is locked out too. I may have some bootleg files but they, and my old, out of copyright files, don;t seem to be affected.
     What I tried: re-opening the zip files I purchased in Windows Media and then importing them into itunes. etc etc.. More back and forth stuff and I got them to actually play in itunes but when I tried to burn a cd for backup, they wouldn't burn - and now another song that I hadn't had trouble with before, wouldn't burn either.
     I'm wondering what in the world kind of program writers are on this itunes thing.   It is squirrely beyond belief. It appears that it might be some kind of misguided effort to police my music purchases. I just hope I can somehow salvage my LEGITIMATE music before the Igestapo takes it all away.

The ones I can't acess are: 1) an album that my daughter purchased on her computer. I understand we can add each other to our accounts and that will help.
Did you or your daughter copy that album to your computer from hers? If not, then it's not surprising you can't find it. You have to move tracks from computer to computer yourself.
2) I have a player that burns from vinyl or tapes to disc. Some of those files - not all - are locked out
I have no idea what you mean by this. Can you please explain further?
an album I purchased online from a recording entity is locked out too.
From where did you purchase this album, what format it is, and what do you mean by "locked out"?
I can guarantee you that nothing sinister is going on. Apple hasn't reached into your computer and disabled anything. It's either a program error or, as seems to me more likely, a misunderstanding on your part about some issues and perhaps incompatibility between iTunes and the format of some other content you've acquired. If you'll please post back and provide more details, avoiding the unnecessary ranting and hyperbole, someone here can probably at least explain things it not help get them sorted.
Regards.

I uploaded that new IOS 8.0 and now I cannot open my mail, Safari, or the new "TIPS" app. Does Apple have some sort of help, other than going to a store that is over 40 miles away?

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

TS1474 I have missing content in my iTunes library, there is no way to contact support unless you have some sort of serial number. My computer is not an apple computer but can't call them without it. Only 256 songs showing up; I had 8,000 songs on my

I am so done with this. 8,000 songs on my iTunes app and now I only have 256 songs!! I purchased a new computer and had backed up all my content onto an external hard drive. When I downloaded the content onto the new computer, I was unable to access my music for 90 days!! What a bunch of BS! $8,000 down the drain, just like that. This is ludicruis! I have tried to contact support but they require some sort of serial number, don't have one, this is not an Apple computer. So their support ***** as they only give you one option to contact them. I still have my content on the back up but am afraid to re-download in fear I won't have access to the material for another 90 days! Has anyone else had this problem? I feel like I've been ripped off!

Hi, I have registered at apple site, and i have submitted the credit card information, they deducted some ammount without my permission, why they did that? how can i remove my credit card details from that site or deactivate my account?

From that HT3702 page :
If you update your billing information, the iTunes Store or Mac App Store will place an authorization hold on your payment card account, usually in the amount of 1 USD or the local currency equivalent, to verify your account information.
You might see authorization requests on your online statement. These requests aren't actual charges; they are tests to confirm that your payment card account is active and has available funds to accommodate transactions. Authorization holds are removed by your financial institution shortly after your purchase clears. The time it takes to remove authorization requests varies by financial institution.
The number of days that it takes to diappear varies by bank, but it's usually a few days - though with the weekend coming up it might take an extra day or two

Is there a way to have some sort of stereo mix audio input for mac? also so i can have a voice over?

Actually, after scouring the web, I see that RogueAmoeba also has a free utility called LineIn which simply sends the audio in to the audio out and doesn't interfere with other programs like iTunes!
On the other hand, after downloading and trying it, there is a noticeable latency between what goes in and what comes out.
The latency is in the computer, not the software. Most of the latency is in the A/D and D/A conversion.
You need to connect the analog input to the analog output directly to get zero latency.

Does my MacBook have some sort of graphics lag?

Hey guys.
I've had my MacBook for two weeks now, and it’s been an "okay" experience. I detest the high-pitched sound it makes; it’s driving my crazy when I'm working on essays late at night. But alas, it’s not my primary annoyance.
Recently I've noticed horizontal lines running up the screen when the Flurry screen saver is running (Screen grab: http://img113.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture4jc0.png). This line runs up the screen every few seconds, and its really irritating. Presumably this is something to do with the MacBook graphics chip? I would really like to know if this problem occurs in other MacBooks or if I have some sort of defect in mine.
It also does the above when viewing iTunes visualisations in full screen.
Any thoughts/comments would be gratefully received.
Cheers,
Chris.

Devin,
Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated.
I did the test and got a score of 84 which seems to be pretty average for a MacBook, compared it to a few and the memory seemed to compare well to most MacBooks (Link: http://db.xbench.com/merge.xhtml?doc1=188535&doc2=1)
Not really sure then - If your MacBook, and presumable others, struggle on it, then maybe it is just literally the chip working as hard as it can. I'm just trying to reassure my self that I don’t have a faulty unit.
On a side note, the high pitched sound on mine comes from the top left of the machine near power adapter connection - It exerts the high pitched noise whether or not it is plugged into the AC power. It's not so bad in the day, as I don't really hear it in louder surroundings, but at night it’s absolutely infuriating - I just run a few programs in the background and it fortunately stops. Certainly not ideal, I'll probably end up phoning Apple Care about it, as I'm sure it’s not an intended sound.

Hi - I'm trying to sync iBooks on my Macbook Pro with iBooks running on my iPad. I have some pdf's download from the net I want to share between devices and I can't work out how to sync the two devices. Any help please? I'm running Mavericks

Thanks for your help Brij011 - much appreciated. Apologies as I'm a newbie but I've looked at the info for synching and I appear to have all the switches flicked on my iPad. Does the iPad and iBooks only sync in iCloud for purchases as I appear to be doing something wrong. I could sync ok when books was in iTunes but since migrating to Mavericks I think I'm doing something wrong!!

In the AppStore in categories in free section there are iPhoto, iMovie, Keynote, notes. But they have the prices near them. If they are free, then why are there prices near them? If not, then why are they in the free section? Thank you.

Like many others, I`m a business man and in many ocasions I need to access xls files (Excel) but being able to change using macros like in simulators. I think apple should provide this in the iphone or maybe have some sort of app which we can use?

I am a business man, and in many times a need a very important tool which I think an iphone should have which is some sort of app which will allow you to make changes to any xls file(Excel file).
I find apps that allow me to see and open these files but do not allow changing numbers on files with Macros.
A example is when you have a xls file using macros like in a simulator.
You have to change the values according to different client and it just doesn`t allow you.
I think iphone is a very decent phone but I just think that apple should povide this option to all users which would definately be alot happier.
I work at a finance company and need to use finance simulators with Macros.
Can you have an app that allows me to do this?

Since Excel is a microsoft product, they would have to make the app.
"So why does apple even open these files when they belong to Microsoft?"
You prefer, since Apple does not make excel, that they not make it possible to even view an excel file?
Odd take. All or nothing?

Hello!
Today my Macbook Pro suddenly turned off. I restarted the machine and ever since then it has been behaving oddly. When going to websites they either display very poorly with no images (please see attachment to see what I am talking about) and/or would display a pop up saying "Safari Can't Verify The Identity of The Website" "The certificate for this website is invalid. You might be connecting to a website that is pretending to be "___insert website here___" , which could put your confidential information at risk. Would you like to connect to the website anyway?"
The only other odd thing I have noticed is that something popped up saying my date and time are set to an odd time which could affect things. It appears it is set to January 1 2001.
Everything seems to be functioning normal (ie applications, etc). Any ideas on what the issue is?

Instructions to reset SMC
Reset the PRAM
Apple: PRAM reset
Hold the option/alt key down while booting (wired or built in keyboard) for Startup Manager, select OS X and set System Preferences > Startup Disk.
Hit System Preferences and set the time and date, it's updating to Apple's servers and your area.
Leave it connected to charge up. Check your battery status by option/alt click on the icon in the top corner or via Apple >About this mac > more info.
If the time and date are off, it could be responsible for all what you have seen.
Mac's don't have seperate batteries to maintain the PRAM like PC's do, they use the main battery which might not have been charged correctly, thus the SMC reset.
The PRAM holds the time and date between reboots and between OS versions.
Certificates have time and dates, then they expire.
One thing leads to another.

How do I get my site to display a flash version if they have flash or my html5 version if they don't

I'm setting up my site in html5 for those devices that do not display flash/swf files.
How do I make my site run the flash site if they have flash player and switch to the html site if they don't?
Thanks!!!

Suzy, I am a professional. I work in split view constantly. And that is actually kind of dangerous, but I know the problems.
I am very happy with Dreamweaver CS 5.5's Live View, which is not something I had in CS3. But I'm not really sure which web browser it's emulating, so I always check everything out in a real browser (actually several). I look at Firefox, and Safari and I also look at it in Internet Exploder versions 7, 8 and 9 through the use of VirtualBox on my Mac. OS X Daily even offered a complete run-it-once installation kit on their website.
The current HTML standard is HTML4, which was arrived at by the W3C in 1999. People tried to improve on that standard and came up with XHTML (for eXtended HTML) and that became a "standard," but I can see people leaving that style with HTML5.
The idea behind these new standards for HTML is to go more towards a semantic web, with tags that actually describe something about the content. Essentially, what we're trying to do is get more and more in-line style information out of the web page and into a style sheet, with tags that give search engines more information about what the content is all about.
We need people with good design-sense Suzy. Learning HTML markup and how to build stylesheets to style your pages is not simple and you need to have a little patience. I think it is very promising that you are saying that HTML5 and CSS3 are easier. When these new standards are adopted, it will be much easier to make websites and those sites will be better optimized for search engines.
If you stick to HTML5 and CSS3, you need to include the HTML5 "shiv" in your header in your page. This will retranslate all of your hard work into something that Microsoft's browsers can understand, as Microsoft made them the "slow kid" down the street.
Good luck!

Hi, i have a MBP 13, late 2012. Its over an year old since purchase and now out of warranty. This morning the computer did not boot so i went down to apple store and they looked at it and said its a logic board failure requiring replacement worth£350

Hi, i have a macbookpro 13, late 2012. I bought it last year october and its an year old and now out of warranty. This morning the computer did not boot, so i went down to apple store and they looked at it and said its a logic board failure and needs replacement worth £350. The tech at apple store gave no explanation, why suddenly, my computer decided not to start at all and said to me it was a logic board failure for no apparent reason and requires replacement. I have maintained the laptop in a pristine condition. Now I feel I have been cheated. This clearly means the product is substandard as a £1100 laptop is not expected to fail in just over a year. My last laptop PC which was worth £450 served me for 4 years before it crashed and lived for another 2 years until I decided to get a mac. This is ridiculous. I don't have apple care at the moment which translates as pay to get it fixed. Anybody in my situation ? I want to sue apple for selling me a substandard good . Any thoughts? Should I go for another pc for £500 because there is no guarantee even after the laptop were fixed by apple for £350 it would last for another year. I need a reliable machine.

This morning my MBP just woke up from sleep and is working without any glitches. I don't know what to say about this.

Iphone 5 power button not working!! They have replacement program for months but why they dont email you and say it??

I have had iphone 5 and have never been happy and i think apple is not leading the technology and future of market anymore as they are lowering quality of their products(even hardware). I had to change first iphone 5 i had because of wireless issues and then i had battery problem and had to charge 3 times a day and finally after 2 years i bought they decided that its faulty and they decide to change it. Luckily enough i read it on an online tech magazine and after googling i see that they have had replacement for power button as well which i am eligible for as well!! i go to genius bar and they replace battery but they dont replace power button cause they examine it and passes till the audio dock test! It connects to charder dock or cable but it doest to audio test dock and he says one off the pins inside is not right but it charges perfectly with every cable in the store!! And i tell him that they have to change power button not the charging pin cause it doesnt make sense!! Its a faulty product and maybe if they emailed and said it nearly a year ago my pin was right then!! so i think they found a silly reason not to change it and so i am struggling with that phone and brand that i hate(once i used to love)!

This is a user-to-user technical support forum. This is not AppleCare. You are not addressing Apple here. No one here can help you resolve your customer service issue with Apple. Use the Contact Us link at the bottom right of every page for information on how to contact Apple directly. When you talk to them, I'd suggest not using profanity. It makes people less likely to help you.
