Upgraded to Lion. Can no longer add cd music to my external HD

" Error occured while converting the file...you do not have the privleges to make changes". This has never happened to me before.

Well after all the research and reading about this problem from others, I restarted my Mac again and it all works fine now!!!??

I upgraded to 10.5.0.142 on windows 7 and I can no longer add any music to my libraries

I upgraded to 10.5.0.142 on windows 7 and I can no longer add any music to my libaries.
It makes a notification sound, but there is no message, and it just doesn't do anything.
How frustrating. Considering apple make excellent products, iTunes is terrible.

I find a way to add music.
Make sure iTunes is closed.
Go to the song file on your computer. If the file has the little black musical iTunes symbol as its icon, just double click the file. It should open up in iTunes and stay in you library.
If the little black musical iTunes symbol isn't next to the file, right click the file and go to "Open With" and then click on "iTunes". It should open up in iTunes and stay in your library.
Yeaaa its the long way but that's the only way for now, unfortunately.

Itunes and all my movies have disappeared,i can no longer add to library from my external hdd which ive always used and can only add from the laptops own hard drive,any ideas what the issue could be?

ive recently updated, itunes and all my movies have disappeared,i can no longer add to library from my external hdd which ive always used and can only add from the laptops own hard drive,any ideas what the issue could be?if i transfer the movies from the external to the laptop they will add to the library without any problem so theres no issue with the laptop but when i go to add file in itunes i can path to the external but as soon as i select the file nothing happens, just goes back to itunes

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

Upgraded to Lion & can no longer finger swipe for/backwards between pages. Is there a fix for this?

Title says it all. I just upgraded to Mac OS X Lion, and can no longer use a finger swipe, whether one or 2 fingered, to move backwards an forwards between pages. I can still do so in Safari, but not in Firefox 5.01, my preferred browser, any longer. Doesn't matter if I try using one, two or more fingers
Is there a fix for this? Thank you.

If you download this program http://blog.boastr.net/?page_id=1722 (better touch tool), you can make your own swipe gestures.
However, I have been able to three-finger swipe forward and back on webpages by going to ''system preferences'' > ''trackpad settings'' > ''more gestures''
and checking the box at ''"swipe between pages"'' and selecting ''swipe left/right with 3 fingers''

Itunes can no longer locate any music on my External Hard Drive

Last night I went into Itunes to add some music and it could no longer loacte any of my music. I went to edit - Preferences - advanced to check where is trying to check where the "Itunes Music Folder Location" was, and it had moved. When I tried to redirect it back to the eHD, it still cound not see any of the music. I have had this issue before and lost all my playlists etc...
Today I discoved that somehow the eHD drive name was changed for L: to N: which was why nothing worked. ( all the playlist tags were looking for the L: drive, which no longer existed.)
I have since corrected this issue, and the eHD is now correctly labeled as the L: drive.
The problem is all the playlists still do not work.
Please help, I have 3000 songs in here and it will take forever to go back and fix all of the playlists.

i dont know much about computers but I think this happened to me before.
as I said i hardly know computers. i think I unplugged the hard drive all cables and i turned the computer off too. plug it all again and see if it grabs it again. i did it and it worked. some how the extHD gets stuck on on. so thats why I unplugged it all. I dont know if you want to try that.

HT1651 I can no longer add new music to my itunes account or update the software on my macbook b/c there's not enough hard disk space. What do I do?

HELP!!! What do I need to do? New hard drive, more memory, external hard drive? I would like to transfer my itunes library to an external hard drive to free up space and continue to add to itunes, but if I transfer my current library do I lose it next time I sync my ipod?

No, you can copy your music folder to an external hard drive. Once you have moved it, launch iTunes while holding down the option key on your keyboard. A dialog box will come up asking you where the library is that you want to use. Select the library on your external hard drive.
Once you have confirmed that this works, you can delete the iTunes library on your internal hard drive. Remember to empty the Trash after you put the folder in there.
Note that if you disconnect your MacBook from the external hard drive (a possibility - it is a portable computer after all) you will not have access to that music.
Syncing your iPod should go as normal.
Best of luck.

Upgraded to mountain lion, can no longer see D110 on WLAN

I recently upgraded my iMac to Mountain Lion. It is connected to my FiOS home router via Ethernet (wired). I have a Photosmart D110 on my WLAN. Prior to the upgrade, everything worked fine. Since the upgrade, the iMac can no longer see the D110.
If I put the iMac on the WLAN it sees the D110, but it can't see it when the D110 is on WiFi and the iMac is on wired Ethernet. I'd like to keep the iMac on wired Ethernet, is there a fix?
I did try deleting the printer, connecting it via USB, and re-adding it to see if it would install any software updates, but I'm still having the same issue.
Thanks!

fixed - found out I had to turn off IGMP Proxy in my FiOS home router. Why, I don't know.

Can no longer add / remove to bookmarks / reading list since ios 6 upgrade

Hi all,
I upgraded my ipod touch to ios 6 last night, and since the upgrade I can no longer add / remove bookmarks or add / remove items to the reading list in safari.
Whenever I try I get the 'Bookmarks are being synced. Please edit the bookmarks once syncing has completed.' message.
So far I've tried;
A hard reset
Turning off Safari in the icloud settings
I still can't do anything with the bookmarks / reading list, I just don't get the 'Bookmarks are being synced' message
Ensuring that push notifications are enabled for icloud
I'm not sure what to try next.....
When I disable Safari in the icloud settings, it asks me if I want to keep a copy of previously synched bookmarks on my ipod - So far I have as I don't want to lose them.
I'm guessing the next step is to not keep a copy and hope ios wipes them - If I do this will the bookmarks still be available in icloud when I turn safari data back on?
Cheers
Macca

I actually managed to fix it! But unfortunately I don't know what I was that I did that helped.
Anyways, this is kind of what I did.
1. I tried to reset form bakup via iTunes, no change.
2. I tried to reset as a new iPhone, problem still there and reading list also as bookmarks!? (several hundred)
3. Noticed that I could delete a bookmark, once in a while, the other times I got the 'Bookmarks are being synced. Please edit the bookmarks once syncing has completed.' message.
4. Because I figured that it was a memory problem, I thought it made sense to delete as many as possible, witch I did.
5. Noticed that it was more likely that I coould delete a bookmark if I restarted Safari.
6. Notice that it was even more likely that I could delete a bookmark if I turned the Safari sync with iCould off (with option detete information on iPhone) and then back on again.
7. When I was about half way through deleting the bookmark list I suddenly discovered that all but one of the items in my reading list was 'waiting' and one was downloading. I kind of was 'unstuck' now.
8. I started to delete items in my reading list, but every other time I got the 'Bookmarks are being synced. Please edit the bookmarks once syncing has completed.' message.
9. It took a while to delete all bookmarks and items in the reading list.
Hope you guys could use the info here to fix your problems too!

My iPod 5 will not sync ANY music. All my music was on prior to syncing. The sync deleted all my music. I can now no longer add any music. I have the "sync music" checked. Restoring factory settings did not work. Any thoughts?

When you synced with iTunes It would have tried to replace the music on the iPhone with what is on the computer. which is what happens when you sync with iTunes.
If the songs are purchased you can re-downloaded them Pretty easily. You mentioned that you still see the songs and that you could not play them. Do they have a Cloud symbol next to them? If so this means that you can download them but that they are not on the device.

After upgrading to Lion can't get Boot Camp to work! Just get "startup dusk cannot be portioned or restored to a single partition"?

After upgrading to Lion can't get Boot Camp to work! Just get "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition". Anytone?

This message, and threads like yours got asked daily for over two years, now it is only a couple times a week!!
Is it so hard to follow through? you were to have backup already, clones are best, then erase/format and restore.
Then partition.
Some have been able to use Disk Utility booted from OS X DVD or another drive, and repair the drive.
You have to use Boot Camp Assistant (99.9% anyway) to create and achieve a proper Windows Master Boot Record partition.

I can no longer add an event on iCal in my iphone.

I am now on iCloud. Since I went to iCloud, I can no longer add events on ICal on the phone. I only use iCal from the phone, not from my Mac. I have removed iCal from ICloud and still no change. I cannot add events to my iPhone ICal. Help!
I have an iPhone 4.

Hi,
If you list the steps you have taken to fix this it will help.
Have you tried using the File > New Event menu item?
Have you logged the user account out/ restarted the computer?
Have you tried un-syncing any accounts synced to Calendar?
Is there some change made to the computer that may have triggered this?
Best wishes

After upgrading iTunes I can no longer play my songs. It says that "The song ________ could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I have NO clue where to look.

After I recently Upgraded iTunes I can no longer play any movies or songs. It says that "The song ______ can no longer be playe because the original file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it?" I have no clue where to look as I'm not tech savvy. I did look in previous itunes libraries file and it's empty. Any and all help is appreciated.

The links below illustrate how your iTunes should look if you use default settings in preferences. If you don't use those settings then you have to know what you're doing.
Image of folder structure and explanation of different iTunes versions (turingtest2 post) - https://discussions.apple.com/message/13025536 and https://discussions.apple.com/message/17457605
The above links also illustrate the Media folder and its subfolders. Look for a file in there in the logical structure by folder artist and album. If you're lucky, linking one file will get an offer to link others and it iwll all come together again.
I see you are running OSX 10.5.8 it would help to know which version of iTunes you use now and which one you used before.
