So what is Apple and I-Tunes doing about the Shuffle mess??
Some communication would be nice!!
From all of the posts in the last few days, it seems to be apparent that Apple and/or I-Tunes is having a real mess!! Last week my computer(an old Compac Presario) did not even recognize my shuffle. I tried it a few times every day. Magically on Sunday, my computer not only recognized it, but sent an update, which worked fine.
Monday, working-out in the pool, it died. (I should add here that my shuffle has been waterproffed by 'SWIMMAN' and I have a waterproof headset and the whole thing has been fine for the last 15 months!).
Later on Monday, I attached it to my computer to be charged and the computer kept saying that it needed to be plugged into a high-speed port. So I turned on my new laptop, downloaded I-Tunes and plugged in the shuffle. I-Tunes came back and said the shuffle could only be associated with one computer and was going to erase my shuffle and resync it, OK? I said no! I then got information on how to copy my 4GB of files without making 6 backup discs and proceeded to copy all the files to the new computer.
After that was finished, I plugged in the shuffle and got absolutly no response from I-Tunes, my computer did not even recognize the shuffle as a drive! So many times yesterday and this morning I tried it again and again and no response!
As I started writing this post, on the old computer, I thought "Let me try once more". Well what do you think?? The new computer recognized the shuffle as 'SMIMMAN iPod', only a few recently added tracks were missing, and it seems to be working. So I'm giving it plenty of time to charge.
Right now it might be working fine, but what is being done to prevent this from continuing? There was one post about reseting the utility program. How can you do that when the shuffle is not being recognized by the computer?
Another pet pieve... I-Tunes has the 'settings' tab with information it reads from the shuffle. Why can't it read and report the level battery charge? My lights don't blink when the charge is low (the waterproofing may have something to do with that). Your laptop tells you when you battery is low, why not I-Tunes??
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Linda
My shuffle came from SWIMMAN who has worked with Apple to make the shuffle waterproof. Everything had been working just fine both in and out of the water until Monday, March 10 when I was sent an update from I-Tunes. All of the problems have been since then. Sometimes my computer recognizes it, right now it's not.
This morning it worked fine for an hour, now it's dead and not being recognized.
From reading the posts here since this past Monday, it looks to me as if there is a problem with Apple and I-Tunes.
Also from looking at the posts, there are many others with the same problem and none of them have been answered successfully!

Try this:
Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
Make sure itunes is updated to the lates version on the computer.

Hi there!
I just downloaded and installed OS X Lion, and I'm loving it so far.
However, I've seen that Mountain Lion will have some new features when it comes to social apps (what I call the ones that combine twitter, facebook, rss readers and so on).
So, does anyone knows any cools apps for that? I'm currently using Socialite, that combines all those three, but it has a few issues I don't particularly like. Plus, I'm using Adium for a msn client. I'm also thinking about downloading that beta version of "Messages" that will be realeased on Mountain Lion.
So, what do you think? Give me your ideas
Thanks a lot in advance!
As Mountain Lion has not been released to the public yet, then most of us have no idea which companies have updated the development of their Apps for ML. It is in Development phase so any App you try is at your own risk.
Good Luck

Received a Pages attachment in email, but can't open it. Error message says it's missing an "index.mlx" -- any idea what that is and how I can open the file?
Many thanks ... after many trials and effort, the sender admitted he doesn't know what he did - he's new to Apple - so guess he'll have to get some training!

I've successfully backed up my old iTunes (from version 7.02) to a DVD. I'm hoping to restore it to my new Macbook, but when inserting disc to iTunes 10.7. it tells me that I've inserted a blank disc so it does not suggest to restore the content. What to do? The back up has definitely been a success as when inserting disc back to the old Mac and iTunes7, it does recognize the disc and suggests to add contents to the library.

My computer won't turn off. It says iPhoto is doing something and iPhoto is doing nothing, the circle has been spinning for 45 minutes.
Try that. If that doesn't help:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

After some advice, I am new to Apple and looking to purchase either the MacBook Air 13inch with 256GB and 8GB mem or the MacBook Pro 13inch with retina 256Gb and 8GB mem. I am an assistant principal in a primary school and also studying my masters at university. I don't play computer games and I don't watch movies. I do store photos and videos of my kids and music on iTunes. I also like browsing the net with numerous windows open, check email etc. I am really wanting long battery life as I do a lot of my work on the couch - not close to a PowerPoint. Would the air do the trick or will it soon be outdated as Apple move towards retina display? Both air and pro seem very thin - almost the same? And not much difference in weight either so both very portable which is also a necessary requirement. Just can't help dreaming about that 12 hour claimed battery life. Any helpful advice/opinions, very much appreciated. Thanks
It's not likely that you'll get 12 hours in reql life. Those benchmarks are set under very strict controlled conditions. Kind of like mileage per gallon claims on cars. If 16GB of ram is an option at all I'd highly recommend you get that. As far as storage 256GB isn't alot, consider storing some things on an external thunderbolt real

In a hurry, I opened an email that said "order was shipped from "ammazon". I downloaded the order document and it ended up being a zip file. I then realized what it was, and did not actually open the file. This was on my Iphone 5. What should I do now!?
Delete the email. The zip file will have no effect on your iPhone.

My iPad is locked up and has a apple and a bar under on the screen and it will not turn on or off. Anyone know how to solve this problem?
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. When the red slider appears, release the Sleep/Wake button.
Instead of dragging the red slider, press and hold the Home button for six seconds.

In iPhoto most of my photos appear to have been replaced by much smaller versions. What has happened and how can I get the full size photos back?
That is either a bug in Firefox 5 or the script has a problem with Firefox 5.<br />
It works in all other Firefox versions like Firefox 3 and 4 and 6 (Aurora) and 7 (Nightly). -
