Song won't load from external HD

Hello,
I've just copied all my songs and samples (650GB) to an external drive for use on a MB Pro. But when try to load the songs from the external HD, Logic stops at the first sampler instrument load screen and nothing happens.
Spotlight is also indexing over and over again and never seems to finnish.
What can I do?
Thanks

At the risk of becoming repetitive - If you are doing a fresh install, it is often less error-prone to only have the drive you are installing onto connected whilst you install - connect the other(s) afterwards.
Of course your old drive wouldn't boot into the OS- did you really expect it to? It would have had a load of device drivers (amongst other stuff) from your old system on it.

Songs won't load into ipod nano from new computer.

Load itunes library from old computer. Installed iTunes& authorized new computer. iTunes recognizes my iPod nano (4th generation), but won't load songs when synchronizing.
Any suggestions on how to fix?

I am having a similar problem. I recent reset my iPod as some songs were just skipping during play (they showed on the screen but after a second would just skip to next song), and have been trying to re-sync with no success. I have over 8,000 songs and when I attempt to update songs iTunes puts about 100 or so songs on then stops and states all songs have been updated. When I select update again it adds another 100 or so. Counting to 8,000 is going to take a while!! Don't know what to do...iTunes 5.0.1.4 9/23/2005 firmware. HELP!

Itunes will not load from external hard drive

I do not have any exclamation points - missing songs do not show at all. I had to click 'locate files' when I opened iTunes after reorganizing, since there was nothing there anymore

Some songs won't load onto my iPhone 4 D:

Please, I put about 300 songs in my iphone
they all got sync., but when I want to add some more, they won't ''load'' in it; the little circle isnt fulled like the other songs did. I have enough space in my phone, and I already tried to put away all the songs and put them back. I closed my phone many times, and my computer too. I'm almost raging. help me.

Hello lightninghbolt
Try to remove the tracks from your iPhone by unchecking the Sync Music in the Music Tab within iTunes. You can also Drag and drop the tracks to your iPhone to get them to sync as well. It is also a possibility that you may just need to convert the songs to a different format and sync as well. Check out the articles below for all the steps need to troubleshoot.

How do I get iTunes songs which were downloaded from external back-up drive to play on new computer and is there a way to get my play lists back?

When I try to play a song from my re-installed iTunes library, I get the error message: "Song xxx could not be played because original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" > "Locate" or "Cancel." When I click on "Locate" I can't figure out how to get the song to play from any of the places that were "located." The path is C:\users\Janet\libraries\music\iTunes
However, iTunes songs chosen from my library will play in iTunes (current version) when I have the external back-up drive plugged in! I recently copied my backed-up iTunes library from my external back-up drive to a new computer.
Most of the songs, but not all, magically appear in Windows Media Player and I can play those just fine.
I can see my iTunes library in the newest version of iTunes, recently downloaded to new computer, but can't play songs without connecting to the external back-up drive - so maybe there is something else on that external drive that needs to be on my C: drive?
I am using an HP Pavillion Notebook, Windows 7, 64-bit. My previous computer was Windows Vista. Before Vista, I had XP.
Back when I had XP, I wanted to purchase some songs to download to my computer. Because iTunes had the ability, I used it to create a massive library of songs, most of which were ripped from my CDs. I don't have an iPod and iTunes worked fine for creating playlists and then burning them to CDs.
Also, I'd like to know if there is a way to get back my playlists.
And another thing - in the older version of iTunes, there was a folder in the lists on the left-hand side of the screen where I could click to see all the songs I had purchased. I'd like to get that ability back if possible.
In hindsight, iTunes was probably not the best choice for me to build my music library in a Windows operating system, but it seemed to be the best choice at the time. I really wish I could convert all the songs to mp3 format.
I have been working with computers since the days of DOS, black and white screens, and no mice. The first computer I bought for my own use at home was a Mac and it had "Flying Toasters" as a screensaver. (I miss that screensaver.) It did not have a tower and I believe they called it a laptop, even though the thing was as big as a suitcase and probably weighed around 30 pounds. However, I am by no means a computer expert. In other words, pretend you're trying to tell your mother how to do what I am asking. =)
Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places. I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file. There must be something else that's missing. My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive. If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
My back-up drive is a mess. I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={ Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period. I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive. Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me). As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"

Windows 7 not loading from external drive

I traded out my optical drive for an ssd with the hopes of installing Windows 7 Home using a legit disk (32-bit). My attempts with using Boot Camp Assistant have led to a black screen with a blinking cursor. Assuming that Windows cannot load from the now external drive, is there another solution?

You cannot install nor boot Windows from an external drive.

Yosemite won't Boot from External SSD with Firewire Connection

Seeking help, I boot from external SSD drives from my 2010 iMac. I recently installed Yosemite on an External SSD with a firewire connection and all went well with the installation and first boot. After completing set up and restarting my iMac Yosemite will no longer boot from the firewire connection it will boot to the loading bar and then get the dreaded Goest Buster Emblem, if I swap out the SSD to USB connection it boots normally. I have 6 SSD Drives with Mavericks and Lion installed on that will boot from the Firewire Connection. Any suggestions ?

Additionally when testing while the SSD is connected to a USB Connection and booted if I attach any firewire device they are not recognized or connected to the operating system.

ITunes match songs won't load in iTunes anymore

I purchased iTunes match a while ago and was very happy with it. Normally, I could just open iTunes on my computer and in a second or two all my songs could be streamed or downloaded. Just today though, when I open iTunes, my songs aren't loading. All of cloud tracks appear as in below. You can't stream or download anything and by the Music tab there is a smal cloud icon that keeps appearing as if it's loading. Is anybody else encountering this same problem?

I had an issue similar to this. I think the cause was an interruption in downloading a song from the cloud. After that, it would not let me download any more. Resetting the iTunes store cache under Preferences > Advanced, then restarting iTunes seemed to resolve the issue for me.

Why won't photos from external drive stay on my computer (iPhoto) once I disconnect the external drive?

I'm trying to move photos from my external drive to my new computer. When I connect the external drive, I'm able to view all the photos in iPhoto, and I'm able to drag photos to a desktop folder and/or directly into iPhoto. But, when I disconnect the external drive, I no longer have access to the photos on my computer. I'm sure there's a step I may be overlooking but I'm using the same process I've used in the past and cannot determine next steps.

Thanks so far.
I'm currently working on a 2012 MacBook Air 13", running OSX 10.8.
Upon opening my external drive, I've dragged the iPhoto Library to my computer's desktop. When I've opened iPhoto and tried to import the library (from external drive and/or from the desktop), I'm unable to do so, i.e., the library is not highlighted (it won't allow me to click on it).
I can open and view the library from my external drive in iPhoto when the external drive is connected to the computer. But, once the external drive is disconnected from the computer, I'm unable to view the library
I've tried all of the aforementioned when the "Copy Imported Item(s) to the iPhoto Library" is checked.

App Store won't load from dock

Hi,
I am 10.6.8 with all updates current and wish to download Lion. The Icon for App Store won't load the app store and I've gone to iTunes trying to find the download site, no luck.
I'm in the U.S. Virgin Islands and was searching to see if I'm red-lined due to location?
Anyone have comments?
Thanks

I, too, have all updates and want to download Lion.
Same as above with the App Store.
Tried the iTunes route and still no luck.
Looked at various forums, removed a few items from Library based on Apple Discussion recommendations.
Still no luck.

Maybe it isn't a good time to upgrade, and I should wait until the next version. The bug reports should be resolved sometime soon.
This experience is moving me away from upgrading and it is annoying me because this has been a waste of no small amout of my time.

PE8 edit won't load from start screen in XP Pro

I have just installed PE8 in place of Pinnacle Studio Plus 10.8 which I've been using for a few years with few problems. It seems to install OK with no error messages but It won't load "new project" from the start screen although it will load "organiser". I also can't get into "new project" from the organiser. My computer is running XP Pro and has a single core Intel Pentium 4 processor running at 2.66GHz with 2Gig of RAM. Should I be able to run PE8 on my system?

You should be -- assuming you have at least 30 gigabytes of free, defragmented space on your C drive and all of your operating system and Quicktime updates.
A Pentium, though, is way at the lower end of the required power to run this program. Unlike previous versions of the program, version 8 needs a huge amount of power to run. I can barely run it on my Pentium 4, and then only with basic miniDV editing, although it runs much better on my dual-core 2.6 ghz machine.
To see how much power it needs to start up and run, open the Task Manager (right-click on your Windows Task Bar) and watch how long it takes for your processor to settle down when you launch the program. On my Pentium, it can take over 5 minutes to open a project and stabilize!

Image won't load from XML

I am making a gallery using xml and as3. I've run into a
problem very early and I'm not too good with Actionscript yet. So
I've come here for some help.
What I want right now, is to have an image be loaded from a
xml file, which is working for me. And then have a white movieclip
come in a resize behind the image to be a frame for the image. I
haven't gotten to this part yet. My problem starts when I try to
load the image with a blank movieclip to position it. The image
loads, but the eventListener won't run the imageLoaded function. If
I remove the function and just have
holder_mc.addchild(imageLoader); Then it works, but I need the
image to load and then resize the movieclip frame, and then display
both right? How can I accomplish this?

I was trying to solve this myself just last night and after
seeing your post today I figured maybe I can help you out (as long
as I'm addressing the problem you have).
apparently the addEventListener needs a kick start from
something else. If you look up the Loader class in the Flash help
files it provides an example near the bottom that holds the key.
I'm providing a shorthanded solution that I derived from it.
Rather than:
imageLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
completeHandler);
There is another piece in the in the middle of the process:
"contentLoaderInfo"
imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
completeHandler);
Hope that helps

Flash won't load from creative suite..

I downloaded a trial of Flash from the Adobe site 5 months
ago. I recently purchased Creative Suite 3 w/ Flash included.
Every program from my newly purchased CS3 disks load up and
activate except for Flash. When I tried to reinstall from the
disk it tells me that Flash is already installed, but when I look
in the application folder it's no where to be found. I trashed the
old expired trial version and tried to reload - still no success??
Any suggestions...?

look for links for player installation troubleshooting.
Also make sure that anti spy ware / ad ware and other that
type
of tools are not set to block flash content.
Some of these tools do that by default
