Why does status bar say that all items are not loaded?

When I have the status bar displayed at the bottom of my page, and I load a page, it usually says 4 of 5 item complete, or 6 of 7, or even one time, 92 of 93. What does this mean exactly? And why does it never say all items are completed? Is anything wrong with the browser, or is this just code for something?
Thanks,
Jeff

These days web pages have many little extras, not just images, that have to be downloaded when we click on a link to a page. Sometimes, for a variety of reasons (file availability, internet problems, browser, bad coding, local cache, ISP problem) not everything downloads.
As long as the page seems to have all the information and nothing is apparently missing, I tend to ignore this.
When all items are completed, the status bar shows nothing.

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.

If you are using a USB hub, don't. Connect directly to the computer. Disconnect all other USB devices except for keyboard and mouse.

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

You can download it on your computer at no extra charge and then sync it to your ipod

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 itunes say software is up to date for my iphone when it is version 4.2.1??

my tunes does not show the most recent updates for my iphobe?? I have the lates itunes 10.5 downloaded, what am i not doing?? Apparently there are several updates and i didn't know about it because my itunes doesnt alert me...how do u fix this???? yes, i am not that tech-savvy...thanks for ur help

The software for your phone and iTunes are two different sets of code. They work together to be sure but if your iPhone is up-to-date at 4.2.1 then it is a 3G model and cannot be updated to iOS5, because it is not supported for iCloud. Your iTunes on the other hand can certainly be version 10.5 on Snow Leopard, but that will still not get you iOS5 for your IPhone. It is sometimes difficult to keep all the numeric designations straight especially when so many of the numerals mirror one another. Your computer uses OSX 10.6.8 = Snow Leopard; you say that your iTunes version is 10.5; your iPhone uses iOS4.2.1.

How do I redownload previous purchases? Itunes says that the items are downloaded, but when I select them in my library it says that the original file can not be located.

I've gotten a new computer, the hard drive of my original one had issues and I wasn't able to move all of my iTunes over to my nec pc. I went to the purchased area on my iTunes to redownload the missing stuff (music and tv shows), but it says that they all are already downloaded onto my pc. I do find the items in my library but they won't play, I get the option to "locate" the missing original files or "cancel". I've even tried simply repurchasing the tv series, but I get a message to go to my purchases to redownload. Any suggestions on what to do?

If you plug in your iphone, click on it in iTunes, and go to the apps section, it should be checked to sync apps if you want them to show up in iTunes as well as your iPhone. Once synced they will show on both.
Then if you click Apps under the Library header in the left panel of iTunes, you'll be able to permanently delete apps, removing them entirely from iTunes. Highlight an app's icon or a group of icons by holding down Shift and hit the delete key (or select Edit > Delete from the top menu or right-click on an icon and selecting delete).

Why does my iPhone say that certain songs are not on my iPhone when they clearly are?

Using the new "Purchased" button on the bottom of the iTunes app on my iPhone, when I tap "Not On This iPhone", it lists songs that are definitely on my iPhone. Is there a way to fix this?
Furthermore, there are 47 pending downloads that I want to clear from the Downloads list. Is there any way to clear them or am I going to have to download them all and delete them?

The "streaming" that iTunes Match does is not the traditional streaming we are used to. iOS 6 actually downloads the song to non-permanent memory on the iOS device in a cache. The advantage of this is it then makes the tracks available for listening to again without having to stream it again. You can clear out the cache by either power cycling the device or disabling/enabling iTM. I prefer doing the former.
