The song has been working on our mac for a year and has suddenly stopped working??

For some reason it has stopped i have tried rebooting but it still does not work it has been working for 1 year and now has stopped.

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitirion & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk.

  • I have been using my apple tv to access netflix for several months.  It suddenly stopped working.  When I try to go to netflix from the menu, it says "accessing netflix" but never does.  I can access you tube just fine, but just can't get to netflix.

    Update software. If that doesn't work try resetting.  Mine started working after the update.

  • My daughter has not used her ipod touch for 16 months and has forgotten her passcode.  restore factory settings keeps failing due to a software update failure!

    my daughter has not used her ipod touch for 16 months and has forgotten her passcode.  restore factory settings keeps failing due to a software update failure!
    how can i get this ipod reset.  She now has an iphone so this is going to be used by someone else in the family and should be simple to do but itunes just keeps booting it out even though it recognises that it was previously connected to our itunes account as all of the children were on my account

    That has nothing to do with an update server. Do the following:
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
      If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes

  • I was using my Iphone 4 and it suddenly stopped working.

    I was using my Iphone 4 and it suddenly stopped working.
    I thought the battery had just worn out really quickly or i'd not charged it last night.
    My phone is presently plugged in and not even a battery charge appears.
    I've had my phone for 16 months so I think its out of warranty, Im gutted as all of my recent photos havent been backed up!! Not sure what to do, can anyone suggest a possible solution please?

  • HP Pavilion dm1-4000au Entertainment Notebook PC_Keyboard and Touchpad Suddenly Stops Working

    Hi there,
    I have an HP Pavilion dm1-4000au Entertainment Notebook PC (QG411PA) running Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit for more than a couple of years already. During those times up until now, whenever my laptop is on standby for an hour or so, its keyboard and touchpad suddenly stops working, regardless if its running on battery or on AC power.
    I always ensure that I have an external mouse in order for me to navigate properly and pull up the on-screen keyboard in order to type once that issue arises.
    All appears to be updated in terms of Windows Updates and I even reformatted it, but issue still persists.
    Is this particular issue that I am experiencing a harware issue? Perhaps a software issue? Or maybe a defective model itself?
    Your prompt response is highly appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Led

  • The app store has been trying to update software for nearly 2 months, has anyone had this  problem before??

    Hi Guys,
    just wondering if any one can help out with my app store? It has been trying to update itunes for nearly 2 months now. It wont let me shut down my mac or close the store. It comes up with "canot quit with updates are in progress" Thanks

    Do you get any error messages ? If you get a network timeout error when downloading the update then try temporarily turning off all your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed.
    It's best to only update via your own computer, otherwise you risk losing all your iPad's contents - updating to iOS 5 wipes the iPad and then restores your backup. If you having problems downloading the update then you could try downloading the update file via a browser on another computer and then copying that file to your laptop for the actual update .

  • My photo library has been locked in an upgrade for four days and I can't quit or minimize it.

  • Syncing between iBooks on iPhone and iPad suddenly stopped working.

    Have been using iBooks regularly between my 2 devices and has been flawlessly syncing bookmarks and pages correctly. Just finished one book which had no issues at all. Purchased another and sync seems to have stopped working completely. Really annoying and quite ironic that the book that seems to have broken the system is the Jony Ive biography. I have tried downloading the book and also reinstalling the app but doesn't seem to come back to life.

    accidently found out how to sync the library:
    drag and drop an ebook (that you haven't purchased in the ibooks store) from finder into iBooks on your Mac
    open up iTunes and connect your iPhone or iPad - you should now see the "books" tab again next to apps, music etc...
    in the "books" section, choose "sync books" and "all books"
    press the sync button (lower right corner - don't know what its called in the english version) - your iBooks on the Mac should now be copied over to your idevice and vice versa. all the stuff that was on your iPad before should now also show up in iBooks on your Mac (including PDFs )
    this will at least keep your library synced on all devices, I think this won't sync bookmarks and notes though
    hope this helps a little bit

  • I put a cd album on to iTunes and the songs have been put onto different albums on my playlist and showing as 4 different albums on my iPad as well. How do I put the songs onto one album?

    I have put an album from CD into iTunes to play on my New iPad and the album has been broken down into 4 albums. So it shows as four albums on my iPad which is annoying as Ic only want to show it as one album. What do I need to do, as I have tried to put them on one playlist but it still shows it as 4 albums?

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

  • Skype on Mac OS X 10.5.8 suddenly stopped working ...

    Hello everyone, 
    I'm in a bit of trouble, I'm aware that support for my OS is very limited now, I managed to fix the problem last year by redownloading 6.3.0.604 and it worked (sort of) like a dream, then suddenly last night it logged me out and refused to let me back in until I upgrade which is literally impossible.
    I'm not going to upgrade the OS mainly because I am low on funds and the computer is pretty old but everything else works fine.
    Need Skype to talk to my fiance in the States. 
    I've searched all over and I can't seem to find any sort of idea of what happened so suddenly, would really appreciate any ideas on getting it to work!

    We're sorry to hear that this has caught you off guard. As you pointed out, we began the process of dropping support for 10.5 about 9 months ago. At this point, that process has been completed and you are no longer able to use Skype on Leopard. We sent out several emails warning about this, as well as providing an alert on Skype Home.
    At this point, your only option to continue using Skype for Mac is to upgrade to 10.6. Apple charges $20 for this upgrade, and you can get it here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    You can of course continue to use Skype on other platforms, including iOS and Android. You could also create a Skype Number to call your fiancee (and another to have you fiancee call you) using the PSTN phone network. This wouldn't involve video, but could still be cheaper than placing an international call directly. You can purchase these things on the Skype website by logging in using your Skype name.
    If you want to use video chat, you will need to upgrade your OS. As covered in another thread on this topic, Skype is the last major VOIP provider to drop support for Leopard. More information on why we have done this is available here:

  • Ive been backing up my iPhone for a year and the backup is gone!

    Hi
    For the last year I've been backing up my iPhone 4G on a monthly basis either connected by the cable or wifi. It always said backup complete so I never thought to worry.
    However, I recently broke my iPhone and I now have a new one. I'm trying to restore from last back up but the dates of the last back up's are all from Aug 2011!
    I've looked throughout my computer HD for hidden folders but I cant seem to find where the last years backups have been saving.
    I always keep my iPhone and MacBook up to date with software etc so I cant understand how this has happened.
    Please someone help! I've got a whole years work and client contacts in there. It just seems so bizzare! HELP!

    It backs up whenever you plug it in/sync it.
    Note that there is only one backup unless you Restore from backup. Then it will create a new backup.
    What backups do you see in iTunes prefs > Devices?

  • My ipad air has been downloading ios 8.3 for 5 hours and now it says 19 hours remaining ???

    i decided to update my ios 7.1.1 to ios 8.3 on my ipad air it has been downloading for the last 5 hours and it still says about 19 hours remaining how do i fix/make it update faster

    Open Settings->General->Usage->Storage-> Manage Storage.  Scroll down until you see iOS 8.3 or 8.3 update then tap on it to see how much has downloaded.  If there is still a lot to go, tap Delete & try again later.
    The Apple Update servers can be very slow sometimes.

  • I've had my mac for over year and in the past two weeks the Mac keeps dropping my internet connection?

  • Iphone 6 (Verizon,64GB,space gray)  microphone works for text dictation and Siri but stopped working for calls and voice memos.

    My iphone 6 the micorphone has stoppped working unless I speak loudly right into it and its still not clear during calls and voice memos. But it works just fine for Siri and text dictation. I use the earbuds for work so not sure how long its been going on. Only change is I updated to iOS 8.1.3. Not sure if I should exchange my phone or if its a software glitch since the same mic seems to work for some things and not others. Any ideas would be apreciated.

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:
