Why would there be both cyrillic and asian writing in my selection for "artists" when scrolling through my "device" under artists, for my device "music" tab, but not listed anywhere that I can find in my Itunes library? Is there reason for concern?

I was perusing my music selections in my itunes account, clearing out useless stuff I don't listen to, and under "My device," under the "music" tab, in "Artists,"
i happened upon what is an artist's name (or a place holder for an artist's name written in cyrillics. Another artist's name two spaces down from that one is written in some form of japanese/chinese. Is this something I can ascertain what it is on my own, is this something that is common, or is this some sort of thing launched by the bad guys to hack my computer?
I cannot find any correlating artists when attempting to locate these "artists," in my Itunes library. This is some freaky stuff!
HELP!

Possibilities include source files with multiple tags, tags in Reverse Unicode and/or ID3v2.4 format. Select one of the entries so that you can identify which track it belongs to and then investigate back in iTunes. You may want to try using the option Convert ID3 Tags... > None a few times followed by Convert ID3 Tags... > v2.3. This will lose any currently embedded artwork but should mean that the tag data is read consistently by iTunes and any devices.

I just began using my Apple iphone4 and I dont know why the backlight does not turn-off timer does not exist anywhere that I can find. So my battery gets drained when I'm not using my phone. Does anyone know how to adjust it?

Does anyone know why the backlight on my iphone4 does not turn off automatically?

It's called "auto-lock" - adjust the time in the Settings app to a lower amount.

Ipod not detected ANYWHERE that i can find

I was having software issues with my ipod- i finally got it to restore, but after the restore it is not detected- just charges. Tried putting it in disk mode, restarted my computer, reset the ipod while connected to the computer, i am running out of ideas. Does not show in the device manager or under disk management. Tried another computer to no avail. I have a PC with XP. Pleaassse help!!

Okay heres the final info for anyone still interested. After dissassembling my ipod to unplug the battery a couple of minutes and replugging it in (every time i do this i get a step farther) i was allowed to see my ipod on my computer, and allowed to attempt to format it to ntfs. This failed (of course), but my ipod cd let me format it to fat32 and i was allowed to download from itunes. Whether or not the attempt at ntfs had anything to do with my success with the ipod cd is unknown to me. I can say though that unplugging the battery DOES WONDERS. I went from a folder! icon to this only because of unplugging the battery. Keep that in mind if your ipod is out of warranty.

Hi there, my iMac has automatically been deleting files from my thumb drive when I try to open them. The lost files aren'tin the trash or anywhere else I can think of. Any ideas?

If one drive works and the other doesn't that points the finger at the errant drive. They are cheap, replace it. To check formatting right click it in Finder and choose Get Info and look for Format type. Finally do you eject it when removing it or do you just pull it out of the USB connection?

4 people in our family have an iphones or ipod on the same apple id ..so that we can all share the itunes library. however this means that we all get each others imessages. is there a way of sharing itunes library with 4 separate ids?

4 of us in the family with iphonesor ipods share the same apple id so that we can share the itunes library . However , this means we all receive each others imessages, unless we disable imessaging. Is there a way of sharing itunes library (ie.g with 4 separate ids) that avoids the sharing of imessages? .

Thanks, Terence, but if she was inclined to upload things, I wouldn't need access!
Here is an example: we go on vacation, she takes 250 photos, edits twenty of the best shots, and uploads three to facebook. I want to make an album including some of the edited shots and some of the less perfect but still fun shots - so I need all 250 photos - uploading that many photos to a photosharing site takes forever even if she did it - but she won't. I used to just hijack her computer for a day, but I'd like to be able to hijack her iphoto library without stealing her computer...if possible!
Thanks for any help you can offer!

There are several ways. iCloud is partially live, at least in the US, so if you are in the US and have the latest version of iTunes on your home computer, start up iTunes, click on the Store button in the list on the left side of the screen, and on the right side of the iTunes store screen look for Purchased (there will be an orange New! tag next to it). You can (re)download any songs you've bought from your account on any authorized device you own. IOW, buy with your iPad, download later with your iMac if you don't feel like syncing with your iPad.
If you have a wireless network at home you can using filesharing to connect the two computers and copy the songs from the notebook to the desktop. My wife has a corporate DropBox account and she just copies her new songs into the DropBox and grabs them when she's at home. I have a history of forgetting that I've downloaded songs on my notebook or at work so I always immediately copy them to my flash drive. So there you go - lots of ways to do what you want.

Using a mac OSX and a logitech M-UAG120 mouse, how do I use the wheel button to open a link in a new tab (but not switch to it)? Can't type a key in box.

In the logitech control center I've clicked on my mouse (tilt wheel mouse), clicked on 'wheel button', and in the dropdown menu selected keystroke. Under 'configure keystroke', there's a "type a key..." box, and to the right, there's a "choose any modifier" selection.
On this web page, http://www.accessfirefox.org/Firefox_Keyboard_and_Mouse_Shortcuts.html, the instruction for 'open link in new tab' is Cmd+Return Cmd+Click
On this page, https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/mouse-shortcuts-perform-common-tasks, the instruction for 'open link in new tab' is command+Left-click link Middle-click link
I cannot figure out how to type these in correctly to make the function work.
Help please?
Thank you all.

I do not know what the standard setting is. In my Mac system preferences, when I access the Logitech Control Center, I click on "wheel button" (button 3), and get a drop down menu with the following choices:
Nothing 
Click 
Advanced Click 
Cruise 
Horizontal Scroll 
Keystroke

I'm lost here. The mouse used to do it, then I needed to unplug it, and when I set it up again, the wheel button is inert when used on a link.

TS4009 I have followed the steps above but when I get to the screen to select a downgraded option, the Done button is grayed out and won't let me select a new option. I see a lock up in top right-hand corner, but not sure how to unlock it.

I have been given a link to a "free MP3 download" and it opens in Mozilla using QuickTime - how can I make it download so that I can save into my iTunes library?

This download - http://www.steveharley.com/images/freebie/FaithandVirtue.mp3 - automatically opens in Mozilla with QuickTime plug in ... I've checked file associations for QT player and MP3 is not selected ... I can't see any way of saving it to my hard drive or forcing it to become a "download" ... can you help me please?

Music and Apps are not stored in iCloud, they are stored on the computer to which the device is synced.
Connect the device to the computer and sync the content.
If for some reason you've never synced with a computer or for some silly reason you have chosen to no keep your purchased content on your computer, see Downloading previously purchased content from iTunes.

I've twice tried to use iTunes match. It stalls in step 2. I've rebooted my Mac computer and still stalls. Apple's taken the $25 but not delivered the service. Can I get some personal help?

I've twice tried to use iTunes match. It stalls in step 2. I've rebooted my iMac computer and it still stalls. Apple's taken the $25 but not delivered the service. Can I get some personal help? There are 12,733 songs, a few dozen of which are not going to be in the Apple music library because they are unique to my collection. Also, some titled "Track XX" and no artist. I assume these would either not upload or else just be uploaded. But, after an overnight of step 2, the iTunes match program was still on song number 7384 or 12733 (it was on that number for over 12 hours). Looking in the music library, activating the iCloud icon and status fields, there were hundreds of songs with the status "waiting."

I am able to use my computer in Safeboot mode (only)
Well it could still be a software problem if you installed a third party program after the OS X wipe and install, because by booting into Safe Mode it disables certain functions of OS X and hardware. Check for updates or problems for all your third party software, include everything, including menulets, System Preference panes, hacks and so forth.
If you restored any sort of software from backup like TimeMachine, it likely was corrupted data and now is returned.
If the college tech support found a lot of dust clogging the rear exhaust vents behind the fans, then likely the heat damage done to the machine has already occured and can't be reversed. Video cards are usually first to go, which Safe Mode does disable the video card somewhat.
Run through this list of fixes, it's systematic in nature, also has a Hardware Test to see what's going on

Too bad this is occurring to a mere 4 year old machine, but dust will do that. Here is the culprit that Apple doesn't tell anyone about.

Can't load my iTunes library toatv2

I have problem with ATV2, I can't load my itune library. I've tried almost everything, reset, turn off/on, etc. but still have problem. I can't load my itune library from macbook, and can't mirroring my iPad2 too.

Did you upgrade to iTunes 10.5.2? I have just upgraded and am having the same problem. The info on the new iTunes version says to re-download your purchases as some may not play if they aren't on iTunes any more but that doesn't help me as I watch and play other content through my macbook air to apple tv that I haven't purchased through iTunes but use iT unes to stream wirelessly to my tv.
Any thoughts on how else to play content on apple tv if iTunes won't load?

Why would there be both cyrillic and asian writing in my selection for "artists" when scrolling through my "device" under artists, for my device "music" tab, but not listed anywhere that I can find in my Itunes library? Is there reason for concern?
