TS2363 How do you safely disconnect an iPod when you have this problem?

The 'safely remove hardware' on lower right of screen says " Windows can't stop your ' Apple iPod USB Device' beacause a program is still using it. Close any programs that might be using the device, and then try again later." iTunes is closed and I cannot reopen it.

By now, you've probably turned off the computer. That would allow you to safely disconnect the ipod. If not - do it.
The usual cause is precisely as it says; a programme is still using, or working with, the iPod, and often it is your anti-virus software that is running a check on the iPod storage. It could also be any programme that you were using to modify a file that is on the iPod. For example, if you modify a photo (thta's on your iPod) in a photo application, and leave the application open, that may cause the issue.
But I notice one thing you said.

You should be using the eject button in iTunes, not the Windows one and you should eject before closing iTunes.
See the eject icon next to the word iPod.
Alternatively, if you have the sidebar showing, the iPod and the eject button will appear in the left sidebar.

ITunes Match asks me to sign out and sign in again every time I attempt to update. How do you fix this problem?

iTunes Match asks me to sign out and sign in again every time I attempt to update. How do you fix this problem?

My problem is it asks me to sign out and back in every time I try to update ITunes Match. And it won't let you add a new song to a playlist unless it's updated on Match. So every time I add a song I have to sign out and back in just to put it on a playlist. I saw this issue on the internet but no solution.
Very sorry I did iTunes Match. Shuffled my playlists without asking and this additional extra work just to add a song to a playlist. Not impressed - at all.
I do thank you for trying. Surprised Apple doesn't monitor this stuff and step in and provide a fix. Left to our own devices. Thanks Apple!

Apple I'd disabled? How do you resolve this problem

Apple I'd disabled? How do you resolve this problem

You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

I just bought an ipod touch 4th generation recently,found that it is very difficult to plug and unplug the USB cable from my ipod.Does anyone have this problem?

I just bought an ipod touch 4th generation recently, found that it is very difficult to plug and unplug the USB cable from my ipod. Does anyone have this problem?

Some of the Dock connector cables have very small buttons on the rounded adge of the plug, which need to be pushed in to release the plug from the iPod. Look at the picture below, do you notice the "button" on the white connector edge? There's one on the other edge too and they both need to be pressed in to release the "evil looking spike" sticking out of the grey edge.
The shorter plugs (that I've seen) do not have the release mechanism, the plug simply pulls out.

How do you fix this problem with the View Menu?

Hi. This is my first time on this forum so please forgive me if not worded correctly.
I have recently installed CS5 on Windows 7. I work with large folders of images. When I open the folder the images are spread out with a big gap between each row of images. It is much easier when they are close together especially when I am selecting a large number of images to transfer or copy. If I change the menu view to details and then immediately back to list they display as I want. As soon as I open any folder again they go back to being all spread out.
I thought it may be a Windows problem but I have set it up correctly in Windows Explorer and saved it as that option for all files. They display perfectly on that and also other programs I use where I need to view large amount of images.
Can anyone suggest what the problem may be and how I can fix it? Please see the following screen grabs which will show what I mean.
The top version is how I like the files to look. The bottom version is what I always get in CS5. If you can solve the problem I would be very happy.
Thanks Carol

What you are seeing is a windows folder option.
In Windows 7 click the start button, choose computer then open your C drive.
From there you will see something similar to this,
Click on the sort options and choose list. Now we need to make it the default so when you look in photoshop it remains as a list.
to do that from this same window choose tools then folder options. A new window will pop up called folder options on the second tab called View is an all folders button, this will apply this view to all folders. if you have Photo shop open close it re-open it and how you will always get the view you want.

TS1702 I upgraded my iPad 2 to ios6 & now certain apps (YouTube ) are gone & are not listed in the App Store. Another app (ny1 news) no longer works! Again it's not listed in the App Store. How do you correct this problem?

What happened to mt apps after uploading ios6
some are gone, some don't work & they are not listed in the App Store anymore

I found the following in the Macbook Help, and the last bullet worked for me.
"You can uninstall apps you got from the Mac App Store, from other websites, or from discs. You can’t uninstall apps that are part of OS X, such as Safari and Mail.
Apps downloaded from the Mac App Store: Click the Launchpad icon in the Dock, hold down an app’s icon until all the icons begin to jiggle, then click an app’s delete button . If you later want the app, you can reinstall it from the Mac App Store.If an icon doesn’t have a delete button, it can’t be uninstalled in Launchpad. For more information about Launchpad, see Use Launchpad to view and open apps.
Apps that have an uninstaller: In the Finder sidebar, click Applications. If an app is inside a folder, it might have an Uninstaller. Open the app’s folder. If you see Uninstall [App] or [App] Uninstaller, double-click it and follow the onscreen instructions.
Apps that don’t have an uninstaller: In the Finder sidebar, click Applications. Drag the app from the Applications folder to the Trash (located at the end of the Dock), then choose Finder > Empty Trash.If you change your mind, before emptying the Trash, select the app in the Trash, then choose File > Put Back.WARNING: When you empty the Trash, the app is permanently removed from your Mac. If you have any files that you created with the app, you may not be able to open them."

Mavericks Finder stops seeing files--you have this problem?

This only started after I moved to Mavericks a couple of weeks ago.
When using Finder on external drives, I will look at a volume or folder and notice that many or all of the files and/or subfolders in it have just diappeared. Sometimes some are still visible--other times, all of them are "gone". This happens suddenly and without notice. I can look at folder one second and the next second look again and find that a lot of stuff is "gone."
The first time this happened I panicked. I thought my data was gone. But (so far at least) it's always still be there, only Finder cannot see them.
This has been happening almost daily and I don't notice any particular "cause." It happens on different drives, including one that is almost brand new. Where it strikes is random--.at any one time, it might happen only in one folder and not another. So some folders will be fine and one or several others will be affected. Once or twice the problem resolved itself and Finder went back to "seeing" everything. Most of the time I have to restart the system, and that doesn't always fix it. Just ejecting and reconnecting the affected volume usually does not work.
I find this problem very nerve-wracking, and it makes it very difficult for me to manage files. Even when everything is probably working perfectly, I have no way of knowing this--it's hard to use Finder when you can't "trust" it.
Have you also had this problem? Are there any solutions?
(This seems to different from the problem of Finder just taking longer than it could to show files and folders. It doesn't matter how long you wait, they just don't show up.)

Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Re-launch Finder by logging out/in and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

What does caution sign mean in iPhoto? I can open and view some of my photos, but some I can't. How do you solve this problem?

I accidentally created an Event with flagged photos. I didn't really want to do that, but couln't "undo" it. I used Time Machine to restore iphoto, going to the day before the incident happened. I tried holding down the option key and reboot iphoto. I tried to restore using Time Machine again. I used Disk Utilities to repair permissions. I tried to rebuild thumbnails. None of this worked. Does anyone have a solution to this? I upgraded to Mavericks when it first came out and things seemed to be fine since then until this happened. Not sure if this is a Mavericks issue or something I did.

Just to give you a few more details- I saw a previous post from you responding to someone else about a similar Issue-
- What version of iPhoto.
9.5.1
- What version of the Operating System.
Mavericks
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
I was trying to edit photos- so double clicking on a thumbnail to make it larger so I could edit it and the gray caution sign appeared.
- History: Is this going on long?
2 weeks
Has anything been installed or deleted?
Turbo Tax installed from the internet. Nothing deleted that i know of.
- Are there error messages?
Error message -54 if I'm using the right error going quickly from one thumbnail to the next.
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Just mentioned this in my previous reply a few minutes ago.
- Anything unusual about your set up?
I don't think so.
Or how you use iPhoto?
Just have 4 cameras that I use to export from the camera to iphoto- none of them are new cameras so that hasn't changed. I don't think there is anything I'm doing that is unusual- just your basic editing, etc.

TS3700 How do you solve this problem if you don't use an Apple headset?

Pushing the headset flush is useful advice if you use Apple's headset, which cannot be used for running. What do you do if you don't use an Apple headset, if the headset is flush, and if the iPod stops playing after two minutes?

Back from the gym.
Same behavior with the Apple earbuds. Turn music on; and music turns off within seconds. Wait. Then maybe screen suddenly lights up. Quick, press play! Oh, too late, it went dark again. Fuss with the device. Suddenly screen lights up. Press play. Music! A few seconds, then off. Arghhh. And this happens whether I run or whether I am lifting weights.
Then, for the last half hour, fine behavior. Double click goes to the next song. One click lights the screen on. One click lights the screen off. Running, walking, or stretching.
Net net, same erratic behavior as with the other headset. I made sure the Apple jack was fully inserted per the photo on another thread in this support community. The part where the iPod was working fine also explains why the genius at the store thought I was gaga when I claimed there was a problem.
Shuffle shake is off; double click on big button set to next song; all other options off.

When I go to add photos into an existing album the albums won't allow me to select them. How do you fix this problem?

When I go to select the photos then hit the arrow to add to existing album it brings up my albums but they are blacked out and won't allow me to select the album I need the photos to go. How do I make it so the photos can go into an album?

Which albums are you trying to add them to ? You should be able to add them to new albums that you've created directly on the iPad, but you can't add photos to albums that were synced from a computer.

How do you solve this problem ?

Hi ,
I am using a Custom Security Realm and I have CMPs to represent my User
table.
Now when a call to authenticate comes to my Realm class , I am supposed to
check
if the User is a part of my realm.
If Yes , I return a User Object
If No , I return null ..i which case Weblogic tries to use its file realm
Now, to know that the user name/ password indeed corresponds to my user ,
I have to access my EJB.
The JNDI lookup for the EJB , inturn calls security ...
The call recurses .. and Weblogic crashes :-(
Is there are workaround .. or does it mean that I cannot use CMPs to persist
my security
information ??
Anyone with a solution for this ..
Thanks in Advance,
Nav.
