  • My ipod keeps saying that an error has occured when i try to sync it to itunes

  • Why does my computer say that there is a problem connecting to a server when I'm in iPhoto?

    After I launch iPhoto, this message pops up every 10 seconds or so,
    There is a problem connecting to the server "Scotts Macbook"?
    Why does this happen? I'm not trying to connect to any server, how do I disconnect? I used to use the Macbook for my iWeb site, but I haven't done that for years.

    I'm having the same problem.  I'm running 10.7.2.   My main NAS just failed and I'm using a new one.   The old NAS was called "DATASERVER".   The new NAS is called "NEWSERVER".
    Many, but not all of my original files were located on and imported from DATASERVER which is no longer in use.  I can see all of my photos but when I try to open them/edit them it's clear that I just have thumbnails.  I get the error message "There was a problem connecting to a server "DATASERVER".  The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time.   Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
    Other information:
    * I'm using iPhoto 9.2.1
    * Currently in Preferences I have the "copy items to the iPhoto library" CHECKED.
    * I can access the directories, files, etc. on NEWSERVER via Finder.
    * I have gone into keychain and deleted any references to DATASERVER
    * I have turned off Time Machine.
    * At one point it was asking me to find the original file and a finder window would pop up.  I could then point to the original file only to get the "There wasa a problem connecting to a server "DATASERVER" again. 
    I do not know if I'm using a Managed Library or a Referenced Library since I set this up long ago.  I seem to recall at one point I tried to manage the library myself but then changed.
    Any help that you can provide would be very much appreciated.  I've scoured this site and others but cannot find a solution that works. 

  • Why does my computer say that its plugged in but not charging yet the battery is not reducing

    it says plugged in, not charging, 99% (battery life)
    but the battery life is not reducing & hasnt for 2 days. it just stays like that.
    hp pavillion dv5-2132dx    laptop
    windows 7 64 bit
    i have had a few weird occurences and im not sure what caused it. abruptly my speakers would stop working & my battery life would start reducing. that happened i think 3 times over the course of several months. this last time which was the 3rd is when i changed electrical outlets thinking that maybe that was the problem. and the power & speakers immediately went back to normal. its only been a few days since i changed outlets & everything is working as it should be however as mentioned the battery icon on the taskbar says that its plugged in but not charging & it remains at 99% for the last 2 days.

    Hi,
    First of all, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter, remove the battery, and then hold down the Power button for 30 seconds.
    Now, plug in the AC Adapter without the battery inserted, start the notebook, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand the entry for Batteries, right click on and the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery and select Uninstall - do not uninstall anything else here.  When the uninstall is complete, shut the notebook down, unplug the AC Adapter, re-insert the battery and then start the notebook on just the battery.  Windows will automatically reinstall the driver - leave Windows running for a few minutes. Shut down the notebook again.  Now plug in the AC Adapter ( with the battery still inserted ) and start the notebook to see if this has helped the charging issue at all.

  • If FireFox 8.0.1 has been released, why does my computer say it is up to date when I click on Help About FireFox?

    I am wondering why my computer says it is up to date. I have FireFox 8.0 loaded and my son just went from 7.0 to 8.0.1 and cant bring up his browser. Yet, when I go to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    8.0.1 will be loaded. 11/23/2011

    Current Firefox 8 installations on Windows OS's aren't getting the 8.0.1. Windows users with older versions of Firefox are getting the 8.0.1 update.
    If you are having a problem with Firefox 8.0 crashing, install the 8.0.1 version; otherwise, if you aren't having a crashing problem don't install the updated version.

  • HT1766 Why does my pc say that there is no drivers for my new Ipad Air. I did a backup this night from the two week old Ipad Air that I smashed the front?

    Why does my pc say that there is no drivers for my new Ipad Air. I did a backup this night from the two week old Ipad Air that I smashed the front?

    Drivers are iOS specific....meaning if your old one had iOS 7.0.6 and your new one 7.1 then it needs different drivers.
    Is your iTunes up do date? if not, then updating it may help.
    You can also try using a different usb cord and port to see if that triggers the driver download.
    or, if that doesn't work, try going into your control panel, add/remove programs. Look for 'apple mobile device service' and uninstall that. THen plug your iPad in and it should reinstall.
    If that doesn't work, go back into the control panel but uninstall iTunes, and apple mobile device service and apple application support, then redownload and reinstall iTunes and see if that gets your drivers fixed.
    Another way to do that is go right click on 'my computer' 'properties' and go to 'device manager'
    plug your iPad in and do you see it show up in the list? YOu may need to click some of those little plus signs to open up the lists. If you see your iPad, right click on the name and you should see an option to update the driver.

    Have you tried updating via iTunes? I find that way's more reliable - I've never had any problems with updating that way.

    Do not worry about the backups.  They will be deleted automatically after a week, or if your HD gets too full.  See #30 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
    The "other" stuff is just that -- all sorts of things that don't fall into the few categories listed.  The operating system, system work files, plus lots of your stuff like documents, mail, etc.  See Lion's Storage Display

  • Why does it keep saying your trial period has ended when I have bought Photoshop Elements 12

    Why does it keep saying your trial period has ended when I have bought the product and registered it with you?

    In addition to activating, you also need to sign in with your Adobe ID. Have you done that as well?

    Do a reset, hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
