  • Trying to sync my new ipod touch and it is taking forever to sync is this normal?

    I'm trying to sync my new ipod touch and it is taking forever to sync is this normal?

    At what stage it is freezing?
    There are six steps or so.
    Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • How do I get iDVD onto my new iMac from my Macbook?

    I have iDVD on my MacBook from 2009, but the iMac I just bought in July 2011 did not come with iDVD.  Is there a way to legally get iDVD onto my iMac without buying it, since I already own it on my other Mac?

    If you have the disks that came with your 2009 MacBook you can try using Pacifist Pacifist on the iMac to extract and install iDVD from that disk onto the iMac.  Then remove iDVD from the MacBook for legality sake.
    Otherwise you will need to purchase a copy of iLife 11 (boxed version) from the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of this page).  Since iDVD has been discontinued it would be a good idea to get a copy of iLife 11 while it is still available. That would simplify installing iDVD (or iWeb) at a later date if ever need be.

  • Mid-2010 MacBook Pro taking a long time to boot up with Yosemite (Etrecheck results)

    I'd be so grateful if anyone can help me get to the bottom of this. The MacBook's otherwise working just fine just takes quite a lot longer (2-3 mins) to boot up since installing Yosemite. Just tried upgrading the memory which has made the system run faster but doesn't seem to have remedied the boot up problem.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Push from ODS to cube taking a long time

    Hi All,
    I've created a new ODS that pushes data to a new cube.  I am trying to load 3000 records and its taking over 30 minutes, and I can never get it to complete successfully.  When I look in sm50, there is nothing running.  The are no short dumps in st22. But when I look in sm21 I get the following:
    Documentation for system log message R6 8 :                                                
    An error has causes an SAP rollback.  All database updates are reset.                                                                               
    Technical details                                                                          
    File................ 009581

    Variable parts......                                       ThIRollroll bathxxhead1248                                                                               
    My update rules between the ODS and cube are very straightforward.  All fields are a direct mapping to the ODS, no routines.  I have a start routine, but when I comment out the entire start routine and run the update between ODS and cube, I still get the same issue.  We are on version 3.5.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Charla

    Hi,
    Try "generate export data source" from ODS and load the data. Sometimes there is problem in DDIC tables and structures are not generated properly.

  • New backup to Time Machine taking ridicously long. Is this normal?

    I bought a brand new 1TB WD Mybook external drive to use for my Time Machine backups. It is connected via USB to my Macbook Pro 15" running Leopard 10.5.7. This is my first back up to Time Machine and I have only about 110GB of data for backing up. I have been backing up now for about 28 hours and the Time Machine status bar still says it only has backed up 864MB of 110GB. This cannot be right can it? Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I just continue to wait it out? Please help.

    It is referring to drives that use Master Boot Record (MBR) partition type, not GUID or APM, causing that issue. It then goes on to tell you how to reformat the drive for either GUID or APM for use with Time Machine.
    While the article does suggest one type for Intel Macs and another for PowerPC Macs, that really only matter if you are trying to make a bootable drive. Since TM volumes are not bootable, you can use either sceme.
    Regards,
    Patrick
    EDIT Whoops sorry about that. I read your original post and my mind substituted APM for MBR (as you can see in my reply here). But then when I re-read your post I see you were talking about Master Boot Record and NOT Apple Partition Scheme.
    Silly me!

  • I transfered my Final Cut Pro from a macbook to a new macbook pro and i cant get the program to open.

    I transfered my Final Cut Pro from a macbook to a new macbook pro and i cant get the program to open. I have already uninstalled a reinstalled 4 times. What should I do?

  • I Have a Ipod Classic that all my music is on. After my previous computer crashed I have not had any of my music able to be transfered to the new computer from the Ipod. Is there a way to do this

    I Have a Ipod Classic that all my music is on.
    After my previous computer crashed I have not had any of my music able to be transfered to the new computer from the Ipod.
    Is there a way to do this?

    Unfortunately, unless you have a backup and can restore the iTunes library to the new computer, you are stuck with the current state of the iPod. This is one of those things that makes doing backups so important.
    Unless your music is all purchased from iTunes (not from your own CD's that you imported into iTunes and then downloaded to the iPod), you will be able to re-download all your iTunes store music back to the iPod when you install iTunes on the new computer. When you first attach the iPod to the new computer and new iTunes the first time it will tell you that this iPod is synced with another iTunes library and let you initialize the iPod (which will erase everything on the iPod - so don't do this unless you don't care about the stuff on the iPod now).
    I've seen 3rd party apps in the past that will let you copy music/content from iPod to computer and bypass iTunes, but not sure if they still exist as this was several years ago.
    good luck

    <E-mail Edited by Host>

    You can use iCloud to sync your Safari bookmarks between your Mac and your iPad.
    Instructions here >  Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
    Personally, I like the Wacom stylus for iPad >  Amazon.com: Wacom Tech Corp. Bamboo Stylus for iPad/Tablets: Computers & Accessories
    And try the accessibility features on your Mac. Open System Preferences > Accessibilty
    Apple - Accessibility - OS X
    I just noticeed on your other thread you mentioned that you've had your Mac for seven years so iCloud for syncing bookmarks may not be an option for you unless your Mac at the minimum is  running v10.7.5 with at Safari 5.1.1. See, "Bookmarks" >   System requirements for iCloud

  • I installed my new iMac with my Macbook Pro 2008 backup and created a network with the iMac and now the Macbook Pro cannot get internet.

    I installed my new iMac with my Macbook Pro 2008 back up.  I created a iMac network with Airport extreme, but now my Macbook Pro cannot get internet.  any ideas on why or what to do about it.

    Hello 1BillyMac,
    It seems you have a network conflict that isn't allowing your MacBook Pro to connect to the internet. This may be caused by both computers sharing identical network settings. You may want to consider creating a new network location on your MacBook Pro to assign new network settings. The following article will instruct you on how to do that:
    OS X Yosemite: Add a network location
    A network location is a group of network settings
    A network location is a group of network settings for your various network services (Ethernet or Wi-Fi for example).
    If you often change network settings, you may find switching between locations quicker and easier than repeatedly modifying individual groups of settings. 
    For example, you might want to make a location for “home,” where you connect to the Internet with a telephone modem, and a location for “office,” where you connect to your company network and the Internet using Ethernet or AirPort. 
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Network.
    Click the Location pop-up menu, choose Edit Locations, then click Add . 
    Enter a name for the location, then click Done.
    Enter settings for each network connection service you want to use in that location.
    After you create your locations, you can switch all of your network settings by clicking the Location pop-up menu and choosing a different location.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Bobby_D
