I posted this yesterday. It's just now making it. I hope that girl at Yahoo does more fashion shoots. She could take the cash and fix this dang group forum.

What happens? Nothing? Just a blank screen, or something else?

I have a 27" iMac Late 2012 and since updating to 10.8.5 it takes a while to wake up from sleep, starts off with a silvery screen and the wireless mouse and keyboard take a bit of clicking etc. to become active. When the screen returns I get the message "! The disk was not ejected properly. If possible, always eject a disk before unplugging it or turning off. …" I have not had any disks inserted. I did get this message occasionally in the past (after connecting cameras) but now it happens every time the IMac wakes.

Does anyone know why this is happening? Up until now I was very happy with my new iMac but this is annoying and time wasting.

Does it run smoothly like iTunes player? Any glitches. It looks exactly what this guy needs.

Runs smoothly on my iPad. The only glitch I have noticed is rare instances of "forgetting&quot; an album cover.

Great, haven't made the jump yet. Waiting for others to experience the "pastel" life.

I went to update iTunes from 11.0.5 to the 11.1 and the update
failed with a message stating server error. I waited for a while
and tapped "update" again. Shortly there after the update window
went blank. I thought maybe it had updated iTunes. However, I
still have 11.0.5. If I try to update my iPad to iOS7 it tells
me to update iTunes first. When I try to update iTunes, the
message states, "no updates available".

What do I need to do to overcome this problem?
Thank you in advance.Jim

I just tried updating my iPhone and selected to update to iOS7
and got this message:

A new iPhone software version (7.0) is available, but requires
iTunes 11.0.5. Would you like to download iTunes 11.0.5 now?
When I choose to download iTunes, the App Store gives the message
that "No Updates Available". My iTunes app on my Mac is version
11.0.5.




Any ideas?

Same thing happened to me so I went to the Apple site and downloaded itunes
from there. Once it updated on my machine, I was able to start the IOS
update.

I've just discovered that there is no longer a Radio entry under Library on my iPhone (iPhone 5). I don't listen much to radio on iPhone so I never noticed when it went away. I'm running iOS 5.

There is no Radio category under Library. I know there used to be because I had set up several radio stations for myself there.

Did it go away? When? Why? I gather that is going to come back with iOS 7 but I can't use iOS 7 because it will keep me off my corporate network for some I.T. reason.

When did "Radio" go away? I know I can select Radio in iTunes Preferences, but it still does not show up under the Library listing.

Can anyone explain?

I want to upload a video to YouTube with a placard (set text) displaying in the first minute and last minute appended to the video.

What tool can I use (preferably open-source or free) to add these placards? I can make the placards from JPG or other format.

I, too, can Google but am rather asking if someone has done this before and can recommend tools.

Thanks.

Greetings,

I have a problem and was needing advice and possible solutions.

All of a sudden I cannot message some contacts (over wi-fi) at my home using the iMessage feature on iMac, iPhone and iPad. (I have the Beta version installed on my iMac for iMessage).

The settings seem to be correct on all devices.

It was like this before I installed iOS7 as well.

Any ideas are most welcome.

Thanks heaps.

Michael.
