Won't let me back up to dvds

I'm trying to back up itunes right now and it the keeps on opening my cd drive, which doesn't recognize dvds. So, I put the dvd in the drive that recognizes it and itunes doesn't do anything. I've tried it with several different disks.
I also can't use CDs because they don't have enough space. I tried using a CD, but it said there was stuff that was larger than the disk, so it wouldn't work.

Just to be clear--make sure your "burning" options match your DVD wants. To do this, click on (in iTunes) Edit>Advanced>Burning Tab> then make sure your DVD button is clicked.

Itunes won't let me back up my Ipod, or sync music

Hi there
My itunes won't give me the option to back up my ipod touch (3rd gen)- I have the latest iTunes and iOS (4.2) but it still won't let me create a backup. When I right click on the ipod, the only backup option I am given is to restore from an old backup, which is 2 years old and from a completely different Ipod touch. I am not given the option to create a new back up.
This is an issue for me, as when my ipod syncs, it tries to transfer purchased apps from my ipod to the computer (and does so), but when it is about to sync songs it say 'Error reading to disk' and cancels the sync - this means the only way I can get new songs onto the ipod is to restore it to its original settings, something I have had to do twice already, and am reluctant to do again, as I don't have a backup!
Many thanks

- Have you tried resetting your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- The following may help since it concerns disk reading errors

Pse6 won't let me back up my catalog or burn a cd

HELP- I've searched forums and knowledge base but find no solution to the problem that pse6 does not recognize my CD drive on vista so I can't burn any CD or worst yet, back up my catalogue which is huge now. I feel cheated in buying the newer version that won't due what pse4 did on my old window xp. WHAT can I do?
I'm not confident how to use these forums either. Have not had my pse6 a year yet, but more than 90 days. got it in April I think.

Wow, Paige,
That is such helpful good news!! I'll try this then.
Something else I've encountered. After backing up my catalog to hard drive, I wanted to do another incremental backup. But the program won't let me go furthe after I've identifying the hard drive as "G"- It wants me to name the precious file or back-up- but the whole catalog was dumped into the hard drive as separated files, not as a group, and without knowing hoe to identify my previous back-up (the hard drive doesn't give it a name- I can't go any farther- it won't do an incremental back up.
But I'm going to try the uninstall reinstall PSE as my next step and see if I can't have it working so I could make a CD if I want.
SO GRATEFUL for all the help I'm getting. This is fantastic!!
Eager learner,
Wendy

Premier CS4 won't let me save or burn DVD

After finishing the project I tried burning it onto DVD via Encore. Somehow Encore crashed my computer and after re-start, although I could open the project in Priemier I can no longer save it or save as. It gives me the 'Unkown error has occured'. I tried re-installing Premier still nothing. I can open the project but can't save it thus can't burn it (even tried MPEG2 DVD). Has anyone had a simillar problem and came up with a sollution ?

I tried that but still can't save. Even created a blank 'new project' and still won't let me save.
It appears something gone corrupt in the application itself.
This is the message I get:
Project Save Error.
An unkown error occured while saving the project. Select 'Save As' from the File menu to
save the project to a new location.
Last minute break through...
I followed sombody elses advice on a different forum to re-start while holding a SHIFT key
to reset the cache.
I could save the project straight after but when I tried creating MPEG2 DVD it would give me
an error and the above would start all over again.

Time Machine won't let me back up an external hard drive

Hello,
I am running time machine to backup onto a 500GB USB drive and keep my iTunes library on a firewire 250gb drive. When I looked in time machine options in system preferences I found that my firewire disk is already listed as 'do not back up'. I want it backed up and don't seem to be able to remove it from that list. Anyone have an ideas why?
Cheers
Steve
PS First ever post!

Are you referring to the drive used for backups, or the drive I want to back up? When I first used Time Machine, my external drive (used to house my itunes library) was on the exclude list. I easily removed it and the TM window reflected the additional contents (indicating a backup of about 75G (27 on internal drive, remainder on external). But backups are being done only on the contents of the internal drive.
I too have re-included the external drive on the exclude list, then removed it. No help. Do I have to reformat my external drive and lose all of my itunes music?
thanks

I tried to instal lion but my iMac says "install fail because hard drive is damaged and can't be repaired" and my only option is to restart and it immediately tries to download it again, won't let me back to any other screen. Is there anything I can do?

I am trying to install Lion and I keep getting a fail message that says "Mac OS X could not be installed because the disk Hard Drive is damaged and can't be repaired". It only gives me the option to restart to try again but fails every time, an no other option. Is there anything I can do?

I'll guess that you're upgrading from Snow Leopard? You should be able to start using your original install dvd by inserting the disc and restarting while holding the C key. Run Disk Utility from your install disc and try to repair the drive. Then try the upgrade again.

IPad 7.0.4 update. Won't let me back into iPad unless I sync. I don't have a computer to sync to and can't get into my iPad unless I do sync. How do I proceed and get back into my iPad?

Software update has prevented me getting back into my iPad unless I sync it. It has never ever been synced and I don't own a computer to sync it to. How do I proceed?

If you see this picture, you need to connect to iTune (computer) to recover your iPad.

My iPhone 4s won't let me back it up to ICloud.

I Am trying to back up my IPhone 4s to ICloud but every time I try it says I do not have enough storage space, I have deleted most of my apps that are a lot of data but still no joy. All I want to do is make sure my photos and music are safe. Can anyone help me ?

Hey LuWatkins,
Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot this issue:
iCloud: Troubleshooting creating an iCloud backup
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3992
I can't back up because there's not enough storage available.
If your iCloud storage reaches its maximum capacity, you can take any of the following actions:
Purchase more storage.
Create a smaller backup. Tips for creating a smaller backup:
Select which apps to back up. Include only the apps that contain important data.
Reduce the size of your Camera Roll backup by deleting unwanted photos and videos before backing up. Optionally save the photos and videos to your computer before deleting them.
Turn off backup for Camera Roll, especially if you already back up your Camera Roll to your computer.(Your iCloud Photo Stream is not a backup of your Camera Roll.)
Delete old messages from your device, especially messages with attachments. To delete a message, swipe over it, then tap Delete.
Delete items that you no longer need from iCloud, optionally saving them to your computer before deleting them. For example, you can:
Delete old backups, such as backups for devices you no longer have.
Delete app data or documents.
Delete old email messages, especially messages with attachments.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Braden

New iPad Air has old software 7.0.4 and won't let me back up from icloud updated in 7.1.1

How can I update the iPad Air to 7.1.1 ?
I can't get into settings without completing set up.

Use iTunes on a PC /Mac
you should get the option to update to latest software as part of the Activation process
Don't try to use back up update initially as new then use back up
and see setting up a new device on this doc

Back up to where? What error message do you get?

File uploader won't let me search other folders to upload pictures.

When I open the file uplaoder to put new pictures on my website, it is in the last folder that I used and won't let me back out of that to choose a new folder.

''guigs2 [[#answer-686897|said]]''
<blockquote>
Check to see if there is a drop down next to the assumed folder. If not, it is possible to erase the cookies stored from the site and try again.
[[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer]]
</blockquote>
I have done this, and it does work, but I have to do it EVERY SINGLE TIME I want to change what folder I'm uploading my pictures from. As a professional photographer I use multiple folders to separate my client's pictures. Deleting cookies every time takes up lots of time and signs me out of everything. I'd really hate to not use Firefox anymore. It's definitely my favorite.

Iphoto won't let me import my photos because it has a problem downloading an image

I need to backup my phone because i'm getting a new one, but it won't let me back it up because i've no space left so since i have over 3000 photos in my photo library, i was going to import it to iphotos, but once i try to import it, i get a notification that it couldn't download an image. WHAT IMAGE? It won't tell me!

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

HT1751 I need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes (it won't let me update). So, how do I copy or back up my iTunes library of over 1,500 songs? Can I use a Flash Drive to do so?

I need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes (it won't let me update). I have IE 8 on Windows XP, and iTunes 10 something. In my Program files list I see iTunes and iTunes (2) and even iPod and iPod (2) where a tech had to back up and do this for me before. I'm just trying to fix it all. I keep getting the "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below." I can even run a search and find the folder, but it gives me the same error message. I was planning on using the Microsoft Fix-It tool to help uninstall then Reinstall iTunes. But I need to backup my library. So, how do I copy or back up my iTunes library of over 1,500 songs? Can I copy the folder to desktop or can I use a Flash Drive to backup my music? I don't want to do anything until I know for sure how I can backup my songs, and then reinstall them into iTunes. Thanks for any help.

Ok, thanks that helps. I don't have an external hard drive though. What about backing up through 'the cloud'? I'm just wondering since my husband syncs his iPod to the PC through iTunes and he's worried that he will lose all the songs on his iPod if the library is lost from iTunes and he tries to 'sync' it up again. I'm not exactly sure how to 'copy the entire iTunes folder' either. I kinda suck at this unless I have step by step instructions, which I haven't found yet on iTunes help or other sources.
The only way I know how to back anything up is by going back to a restore point, etc. (as stated before, we don't have an external hard drive.)
Thanks for the info.
