Why does my I Tunes play only some of my library when it can't access the external hard drive from which I imported some of the music? My esternal hard drive has been corrupted, but I thought I Tunes would have "saved" songs I dragged to it.

Some of my ITunes library came from CDs, some from an external hard drive with songs in it. My external hard drive went bad, which I wouln't have thought would have affected my Itunes library or the songs I had previously imported to it from the external drive. But now the Itunes cannot locate many of those songs. Is there some process of importing/saving that is different when you import from CD? Hope someone can help.....MN

Hi MNinPungo,
When adding music to iTunes from another location (for example, an external hard drive), iTunes can either make a local copy of the file in the iTunes Library or create a pointer to the original file in the original location, depending on the preferences you have set. You may find the following article helpful:
Add to Library
So you can access content quickly, iTunes indexes all music, audio book, and video files that you add to iTunes. This index is called the iTunes library. When you add content to the library, iTunes adds an entry for each audio or movie file to your index. The files could be in your Home folder, somewhere else on your hard drive, on an external hard disk, or on another computer that you're accessing through file sharing.
To add files to your iTunes library, you can use these options:
Drag files from the Finder to the appropriate icon on the left side of the iTunes window.
Choose File > Add to Library (on Windows, choose Add File to Library or Add Folder to Library) and select the song or folder that you want to add.
iTunes adds entries to your iTunes library for the selected files and copies the files to your iTunes Music folder (if you selected that option in the Advanced pane of iTunes preferences).

I can't log in to iCloud the message says check verification email has been sent but it hasn't

i can't log in to iCloud the message says check verification email has been sent but it hasn't

Then again, we may NOT benefit from the 'New' Instructions! My email is Verified (see Pix)
Yet on the iPod the email is NOT Verified AND the Intstuctions to VERIFY NEVER COME!
So, where is the Benefit of the NEW Instructions?

HT1657 I rented a few movies and downloaded them to my computer. Before they had been viewed, I updated my iTunes software and the movies were no longer in my library. How can I access the movies as I have already paid for them?

Try here > iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
iCloud doesn't support movies...
iCloud backs up your:
Purchased music, TV shows, apps, and books

Why does it say my iphone is linked to another library when trying to add ringtones

why does it say my phone is synced to another library, if I want to proceed with syncing music it asks to erase contents and sync with current info. How do I know all my contacts on my phone are saved if it wants to erase info?

Apple's intention is that you manage an iPhone from a single library. If you connect to a different library iTunes wants to wipe everthing out and start over.

Help???

HT4557 Hi, we have just purchased Apple TV and having some problems connecting to the iPad. It is asking us to 'connect to Home Sharing in iTunes' however I can't find the link/ button to press. iPad has been updated. Any help please

Hi,
We have just purchased Apple TV and can't connect to Home Sharing. We have wifi, the iPad is updated. I can't find the link on ITunes on the iPad that the tv is telling me to click. I've also tried turning it on via settings then music which seems to be connected. I can view YouTube clicks on the tv, but not an app so I can watch the footy. What am I doing wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks

Make sure your Apple TV is on the same network as your iPad. The SSID and password of router must be set in your Apple TV.

I can't remember the security questions and recovery email has been shutdown. How can I get back to purchasing songs, apps, etc.?

I don't remember the security questions and my recovery email has been shut down after years of no activity. What can I do to get back to purchasing music, apps, etc.?

The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
    1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
          Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
          bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
          'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
          ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
          phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
     2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
     3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

Can we skip the first screen after call transaction has been performed?

Hello Friends,
I have written a program for INTERCATIVE REPORT .
When i click on the link it needs to call transcation MD4C.
I have written a BDC for calling the transaction and skipped first screen.Its working fine but the problem is that WHEN I TRY TO COME BACK TO MY REPORT OUTPUT USING(BACK OR EXIT OR CANCEL) BUTTONS THE CONTROL IS PASSING THRU THE FIRST SCREEN OF TRANSACTION MD4C and then its coming back to report output.
Now i dont need the first screen of the MD4C to be dispalyed when i use the BUTTONS.
That means i want to dirctly come to report output when i click (BACK OR EXIT OR CANCEL) BUTTONS.
Hope the problem is clear.
Is there any way?
Please do suggest me.
Thankx in advance,
Sanghamitra.

Hello everybody,
Thanks a lot for the quick replies.
The problem i m facing comes after the call transaction statement gets executed.
when the statement gets executed i m able to skip first screen and goto the required screen in the transaction but WHEN I PRESS BACK BUTTON THERE it is showing the initial screen which i have skipped.I dont want this scrren to be dispalyed.When i press back it should directly take me to the report output from where i have come to this transaction.
Hope i m clear now?
Any suggestions.

Why does CC update .png files only some of the time?

I am creating some lower thirds from a template in PS, saving them as .png files and bringing them into the project. When I get updates from our clients, I will make those changes in the .psd, and save over the original .png file. Sometimes CC will update that file in the project without having to re-import and everything is fine. It isnt a huge hassle to just replace the file but Id like to know why it only works some of the time.

Hi Landshrkk,
The script only outputs the names of the services that have deployments, because the get-azuredeployment cmdlet encounter error and didn't pass the result to select cmdlet, please try the script below:
$output=@()
Select-AzureSubscription MyAzureSubscription
$ServiceNames = Get-azureservice
foreach ($service in $ServiceNames){
$ServiceName = $service | select -ExpandProperty ServiceName
$ServiceDateModified = $service | select -ExpandProperty DateModified
$s=$service |get-azuredeployment -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -ErrorVariable NoDeployment
$output += New-Object PSObject -Property @{
ServiceName = $ServiceName
DeploymentName = $s.DeploymentName
Status = $s.Status
CreatedTime = $s.CreatedTime
LastModifiedTime = $s.LastModifiedTime
ServiceDateModified = $ServiecDateModified
NoDeployment = $NoDeployment}
$output|Sort-Object -Propert DeploymentName |export-csv "outputfile.csv" -notypeinformation
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

Why does Google auto-complete fail in Firefox 17.0.1 when I type something in the search field there is no pull down list of options as I type?

When I type a word or term into the Google search bar the auto-complete fails; there is no pull down list of options for my search, only what I have completely typed in. I have to type in the complete word or term that I am searching for and then press return to get the results. I'm using a MacBook and OS X 10.7.5 Please help! This is so frustrating!

Note that websites may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving and filling autocomplete data as I posted above.
Did you check for that?
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet.

If a site uses autocomplete="off" then look at this article for a bookmarklet to remove the autocomplete attribute.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/User_name_and_password_not_remembered (bookmarklet)
You can paste this code in the command line in the Web Console (Web Developer > Web Console; Ctrl+Shift+K) and press the Enter key to verify if there is an input field with autocomplete.

<pre><nowiki>var c=0,e=document.querySelectorAll('input[autocomplete],form[autocomplete]'),T='\n';
for(i=0;E=e[i];++i){T+='['+(++c)+'] '+(E.name||'#'+E.id)+' ('+(V=E.getAttribute('autocomplete').toLowerCase())+')\n';}

HT4528 I have an Iphone 5s and I have a notice to do a software update. When I click to update it says "Unable to Update, an error occured while checking for a software update". This has been going on for 3 wks. I have shut my phone off, and turned it

I have an Iphone 5s and it says i have a Software update. However, it will not update. I have rebooted my phone and it hasn't helped. Any suggestions?

Hello bdollbarnes,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to update your iPhone. I recommend the following steps:
Download takes a long time, or you can't reach update server
iOS updates require a persistent Internet connection, and the time it takes to download the update will vary according to the size of the update and your Internet speed. You can use your device normally while downloading the iOS update, and iOS will notify you when you can install the update. To improve the speed of the download, avoid downloading other content.
If you get a message that "an error occurred downloading iOS," try again later. If the issue persists, try updating your device in another network or use iTunes to update your device. Learn more about iOS updates.

I set up home sharing but can't access the music on my iPhone

My Iphone was out of storage so I deleted downloaded music and set up home sharing where I supposedly could access music stored on my computer. It is supposedly set up correctly on my computer and my Iphone 4. Both have latest software. Instructions say to open music and then press more but when I open music app there is no "More" It just says "no content" and a link to Itunes Store. How do I get "More" to show up in my music app?

You need to configure computer iTunes to share. not just your computer.

Why does my I Tunes play only some of my library when it can't access the external hard drive from which I imported some of the music? My esternal hard drive has been corrupted, but I thought I Tunes would have "saved" songs I dragged to it.
