Why does homesharing not transfer all of my files

I have used homesharing to move my itunes library from an old compuer (windows XP) to new one (Windows 7). It all looked like it went fine, but on closer inspection it seems that ony a small proportion of my music files have transferred across. Any clues as to why this might be ?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Home sharing lets you share or import content from another library, are you certain you have imported all the content.

Why does iphoto not copy all photos when transfering

Hi peeps.
why does iPhoto not copy all photos from an event when im copy/pasting to an external folder on my mac(for later transfer). All softwares are up to date and ive only just realised it happens, but when i copy all pics in an event then paste in a folder, the pic count is substantially different. for example i select all pictures in an event called 'new1', the count of files is 188. i then copy/ paste to a folder, select all files and check 'info' and it says 141 files???
all i can see painstakingly going through to compare which images are in each place is that the ones that arent in my new folder , seem to be the ones ive edited in iPhoto?? conincidence? or am I missing something fundamental here? Ive only just realised this is occuring. The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space. So basically all of the versions of pictures I want, i.e, the new edited and adjusted versions are no longer! NOT HANDY!
help please.

We've seen a few reports of this in the past while and no one is sure of the cause.
Use the File -> Export command. See this User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
for details of the options the Export Dialogue offers.
If you're interested in your Photos then this workflow
The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space.
means you are losing quality, metadata and the version of control. If you don't want these why use iPhoto at all?
You could just move the whole Library to an external:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Why does firefo not remove all files when uninstalled

When I install all versions of Firefox prior to my current version 13 it does not uninstall all files. Why is this allowed? Why are all files not uninstalled when firefox is removed

Hello Mace
when drag the Firefox application to the "Trash" to uninstall Firefox, does not remove your user profile, which includes personal information such as bookmarks, passwords and cookies, to do that see: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer#w_removing-user-data-and-settings Removing user data and settings]
is in here ~Library/Application Support/Firefox
also : Firefox also has a .plist file at ~/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox.plist to remove too
thank you

Hello deniz aya,
Welcome to Apple discussions..
No, you do not need additional software to view the pic, myspace is just not very mac friendly, as they say ( long time coming) they are working on it.
Myspace pages can be a nightmare, a couple of my friends pages for instance
have been known to crash my Safari beta & when on version S 2.
Try using Firefox as well, the "other" browser they recommend other then Safari
for Mac users, albeit they do not say which version of Safari to use.
Check pages including the one you have an issue viewing the pics on with the http://validator.w3.org/ to get an idea of how poorly coded they are.
Eme '~[ ) 
I just checked my page which has not half the items that other pages use & it Failed validation, 91 Errors, one of my friends pages failed with 490 odd........
Of course I presume you have flash, as mentioned by QuickTimeKirk.
To check, in Safari under the Help menu, click on -> Installed plug-ins.
and check for Flash player.
Under Safari menu, Safari's preferences, Security tab- Web Content: you have Enable Plug-ins checked correct?

Why does Aperture not support all DNG files?

I have a Leica D-LUX 2 and an Epson RD-1. Both of these cameras create RAW files which are not supported by Apple. Why should the files, when converted to DNG, still require RAW support to be utilized. I understand the wrapper concept, but is this not the idea of DNG. What about cameras that create a DNG file, rather than RAW (i.e. the new Leica M8).
Thanks,
Ken

Hi Kenneth,
You're missing the point Karl is making. RAW data is (in essence) proprietary to the camera. All DNG does is essentially encapsulate that proprietary data in a standard format. The data is still proprietary whether DNG or RAW.
By proprietary I mean that the sensor array and sensitivity to light, tonal correction across the gamut all are understood by the camera manufacturer and held as parameters (data) in the RAW or DNG file. It requires specific knowledge to interpret this data into a renderable image. Until such time as camera manufacturers agree that 1 = 1 and 2 = 2, we are stuck with this issue (and ALL our concern of x years from now when nobody supports what is our latest and greatest camera). An API included in Aperture (actually OS X) would at least allow camera manufacturers to write their RAW conversion algorithms and take Apple out of the loop.... as well as take dependence on OS X releases out of the loop too!
Hope this clarifies.

Why does Lightroom not update all my previews after a batch change?

Hi!
I imported more 2,000 pictures. Then I did one batch change (adjusting the curve (tonality) by Lightroom).
But it looks like, only on the page, I actually see, the previews are updated.
If go to the next page of 24 pictures. At first I see the old preview. Then the CPU and hard drive activity is increasing and picture by picture the preview is updated. So I've to wait 15 seconds, until I can decide, if the settings of the pictures are a good start or not. And then I've to page again and wait 15 seconds
I expect, that Lightroom does it:
in background
in parallel and not only one picture by picture (15 seconds are cause by sequencially processing; I've an Intel i7 with 4 cores and 3.6 GHz, it's not the slowest machine, but Lightroom only use up to 25% of my whole CPU resources :-( )
Sorry, but I do not understand, how I should be able to handle a mass of pictures, if I have to page and wait always.
Is there any magic shurtcut, command, setting, to enforce such an auto update?
Thanks a lot!

Dunno whether this would offer sufficient improvement or not:
It doesn't automate preview generation, but does give a button (2 actually) for quick-building of previews.
OttoMate
PS - Adobe did provide a function in Lr5.2 SDK for building previews, unfortunately the fine print taketh away too much of what the big print giveth (e.g. doesn't work in develop module), so not viable for auto-preview generation, yet.

HP Support Assisstant - why does it not recommend all driver updates for the model?

I use HP Support Assisstant, and it is configured to update my machine weekly. I have had video problems and now have audio problems. How come certain KEY drivers are not coming through on Support Assistant automatically? What's the purpose of having a weekly update if it's not consistent and I have to do research on drivers anyway?

OK, what operating system are you using? When the printer reportedly goes offline, does it still have a valid IP address from the router (print a Wireless Network Test from the front of the printer - make sure the IP is not 169.254.x.x nor 0.0.0.0)?
If it still has a valid IP, then the issue is not with the printer, but more likely the router or operating system. If you are using Windows, download and run this utility: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-104282-2&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...

Why does iMessage not recognize all other iPhones?

I have an iPhone 4S and when I try to send an iMessage to a another person with an iPhone [not sure which model but it is a little older] it will not let me. It says "XYZ is not available for iMessage." I know for a fact that I have the phone number correct and even have the Apple ID the other user has registed with apple entered and still no dice. Any help would be appreciated.

Yep, and if the answer is no to any of those questions, it won't work.

HT1918 Apple has an old email address and my new email address. The first one which is charter cannot be deleted on the game center or icloud. I want only my new att email address to be my Apple ID. Why does Apple not correct all the areas with old emai

How do I get rid of my old charter email address on the game center app and icloud. It is messing things up when I go to sign in with my new Apple ID using Att? I am continually asked to update my password!!

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

Why does Firefox not block all popups? Example Netflicks

I was on HGTV site and when I closed Firefox, on my desktop was a Netflicks ad.

See this: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Popups_not_blocked
IIRC, Netflix uses this service - http://www.optmd.com/ <br />
You can use the '''CLICK TO OPT OUT »''' link on the right-side of that page to "opt out" of receiving those popunder advertisements.

Why does Calendar not go back to all entries in list mode after upgrading to iOS 6?

Why does Calendar not go back to all entries in list mode after upgrading to iOS6?

I have an iPhone 5 running at iOS7.1.1. The Calendar list mode previous to iOS 6 showed all past entries, which I found very useful. After the upgrade, it only showed the previous 12 months (as I recall). All past entries are still present, you just have to exit list mode to see them. I'm asking this now after finding the forum for the answer to rediscover the list function in iOS 7.

Put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

i just purchased a file that had videos in it. i put them in the itunes library on my pc where i first downloaded them. i was able to transfer them to my other pc, a laptop, through my home network. i am now trying to get them on my mac pro desktop and my ipad2. my mac pro can see the other computers on my home network but i cannot get it to connect to them. i know the operating systems are different but was hoping i could transfer pictures and files from pc to mac this way. haven't been able to get it to work yet. the videos i am trying to get my mac to see came in a folder with both mac and pc versions. i thought if i got the videos i purchased into itunes that i would then be able to get them to my mac pro and my ipad2. i am new to mac/apple and have always been pc-centric so trying to marry it all has been difficult. i speak pc pretty well but am just learning apple. am i trying to do things that are not possible? i sure could use a knowledgable friendly soul to walk me through my issues of having pc and mac on the same network. i have been able to get all computers and ipad to print on my network. thanks.
