Spinning ball when iTunes changes SOME metadata for movies -- why and can it be fixed?

I'm putting in the metadata, including the artwork, for movies in iTunes and it's driving me nuts becaue the little rainbow ball comes up and stays up the bigger the file. It's not like iTunes is rewriting the movie, is it? I don't understand why it should take 2 - 3 mintues to change the metadata. Is there a way around this?

Yes it can be moved into music videos by right clicking on the music video, selecting get info and clicking on the video tab on the top of the little window that opened up and open up the video kind menu and select music video out of the list.

TS3683 I get the error message "backup of this ipad could not be saved to this computer" when trying to backup by ipad. Why and how do I fix?

I am trying to backup my ipad to my computer. It goes through the process, but then tells me a backup could not be saved on my computer. I have a previous backup on here, so it worked at one time a few months ago. I've got the latest version of iTunes and even uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. Why is this happening and how do I fix it?

Did you try what was suggested on that page i.e. disconnecting the iPad from your computer and turning the iPad off (press and hold the sleep/wake button until the red 'slide to power off' appears on screen and slide that) and then back on ?
And if the backup doesn't work after that then try a soft-reset instead of the off and on : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Just updated to 7.0.4 and now i get the pop-up saying, "connect to itunes to get push notifications". Why and how do I fix this?

I have an IPhone 4 and it is not Jail Broken nor has it ever been. If I restore to last backup will i lose saved info in notes, games, etc?

If you can't connect to home wi fi, or any wi fi, go into the RESET area of your SETTINGS and choose RESET NETWORK CONNECTIONS. Turn the phone off and back on and you should be okay. It may take more than one try. Good luck.

Why do I get the spinning ball when I try to delete some photos?

Why do I get the spinning ball when I try to delete some photos?
I then have to Force quit everytime.
What should I do?

Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it?

I wouldn't worry about it as I have been charged twice for WWE Legends.
Have you signed in to iTunes? You may need to reinstall iTunes. Try syncronizing your apps from your iphone or whatever you are using to your computer. Otherwise I really can't understand what you are asking. Please be more specific next time.

Maybe, describe precisely what you are working with.
which operating system
which exact version of the application
are two basic required infos.
And of course look at the thread which the dumb machine was able to find for you (in the More Like This box) when you failed to do by yourself.

Solution! Spinning ball when clicking in timeline

Hello,
some users reported the spinning ball when simply clicking on the timeline. I had the same problem. With just one color bar test picture sequence, the spinning ball was there.
First I realised that I can move the timeline as long as I want by pressing left or right arrow AS LONG as I do not touch any other key. If I do so, I would get a five seconds ball penalty.
Next I tried it using standard keyboard and mouse instead of BT and - voilà! No more spinnng ball.
Sorted.
Regards,
Armin

I have checked the FAQ at this location:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42978
but do not see how to trash my preferences. Is there another place where I can find this info?
Any thoughts on why this happens? I opened a new project in FCE 1.0 and was able to import the same clips and play them from the timeline with no problems. Sounds like a FCE HD problem to me.

How are you trying to re-download it, from within the store or the Purchased link ? You should be able to redownload it for free via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
