  • I can't access drive "D" and remove some content to make more room.

    * Original title: upgrade.

    Hello. I'm trying to reinstall my own copy of windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop for a clean start.

    My problem is that, because I only did this for a while the "D" partition is completely filled. The bar that shows the ability is red instead of green and because there is no place, I can't reinstall the O/P.

    For some reason, I can't access drive "D" and remove some content to make more room. It does not appear on Device Manager, and when I try to access it through my computer it shows "D" drive must be empty.

    I also tried to add and remove programs, but they all seem to be on the C"" drive.

    How do I enter "D" drive to remove enough information for me to finish a reinstall?

    Start the custom installation, it will ask you where store system.  Click Advanced.  Delete all partitions.  The installation process will create the partitions, that he needs and format.  I recommend strongly against any other that what Windows 7 install really wants partitioning.

  • How can I delete an email from apple mail after removing the content (by virus scan software?)

    Recently, I received an avalanche of emails with malicious attachments.  I have not opened any of the accessories, and my antivirus software has picked up malicious content and removed from the email.  Thus, I find myself with an email on my system, no content.  Unfortunately, the system does not allow me to then remove the (s) e-mail that is left.  How can I remove these 'empty' emails in my Inbox mailbox?

  • Can't sync my iPhone on recently restored mobile remove my content iPhone?

    I recently did a my laptop factory restore. Now when I start to try to sync my iphone with iTunes I get a disturbing message .

    It is found that I saved all my music and reinstalled following my restoration, but I worry about losing all the content and the settings on my phone, I didn't know that I would have saved before, if I try to sync.

    I am really outraged by what Apple is here. The sense of timing is the sharing of information between units and NOT only one replacing the other, probably so that Apple can force you to lose any music that has not been purchased from them.

    All I can say is that most of the people are not fooled and will be returned this abuse of the customer, as I do and make it more likely we can avoid buying future products from them.

    But for now I'm stuck with it and wants to avoid losing my content on my iPhone.

    Help please.

    The message may be a bit misleading, although it is precisely correct.  It refers ONLY to what is in your iTunes LIBRARY (music, applications, audio books, etc.) and not any other content and setting on your phone.

    For various reasons, devices can synchronize to a library at once, says the message.  As long as your iTunes library contains all of your past and things like CD import previous purchases, you should be OK.  iTunes will erase the music library on the device but restore it with the same library (since you said you saved all your music and reinstalled on your laptop).

    I don't work for Apple and cannot speak for them.  But I suspect that if Apple were to allow the combination of libraries or "synchronization of information between cells of sharing", (as you said) it could create problems licenses with purchases made through iTunes and the App Store.  I don't think that intent of apples for you force him to lose any music that has not been purchased from them.  You can still download previous purchases:

    or import your CD (as long as you still have them).

    She needs to have your Apple ID and password. Your iCloud ID and the password if you have your own iOS device, so it can have access to these facilities. Even if she wanted to sell, it would need this information to remove the lock of activation before the sale.

  • Is no longer possible to publish a stream in iTunes you and in the podcast store

    Just a heads up-

    We spent several years some of our streams iTunes U published in the regular iTunes podcast store often use the same RSS feed for both. Since the recent launch of iTunes Connect (the new quote and service management of content from the iTunes store), however, it seems that it is possible to submit an RSS feed in iTunes you and the iTunes podcast store. I get a message that says "status: Validation failure ' and 'cannot submit your feed. Your feed had already been submitted. »

    I submitted a ticket to Apple support, but some trial and error tests suggests that there is a workaround. If you have already submitted your feed to iTunes U, you can submit it to the iTunes podcast store but you need to replace the feed URL and the title of the podcast. I don't know if cela a new policy from Apple or a glitch in the new iTunes Connect service.

    Another work around could be to send the stream to the podcast to iTunes store first and then submit to iTunes U public site manager using-, but I have tested this theory yet.

  • Mail - Quit or quit and rebuild indexes

    All three of my Macs, all fairly new show an error in the mail, that gives me the choice to leave or Quit and rebuild the indexes.  I tried both, nothing happens.  Anyone know what is happening?

  • Missing iTunes library and playlists... Please help

    Hello, this morning to my horror, I started iTunes and all my 20,000 songs and playlists, I spent years developing are absent.  Would it be a problem with my hard drive or a disk that allows iTunes search startup files?  I checked the path to the file and it seems that the music is always in their folders however re import all would not get the playlists back and on top of that the last backup I have was from 2014.    Can anyone help

    It is possible that your iTunes library file has become corrupted, so iTunes has started up with a new iTunes library.  Or you may have accidentally set iTunes to open a new iTunes library.  If you use the default configuration, the iTunes library file is located in your iTunes folder and called iTunes Library.itl, to this place

    [startup drive] /Users/ [your name of user account] / music/iTunes/iTunes Library.itl

    NOTE: The iTunes library file is a database that defines your iTunes library.  It contains no files media real iTunes, which are organized and stored separately.

    Go to this location using a Finder window; What do you see?  If you see a file called iTunes Library.itl here, quit iTunes (if you run) and use this method to open iTunes using this library file.

    Open a different iTunes library file or create a new - Apple Support

    If it does not open or if you still get a library empty in iTunes, you use Time Machine to back up your boot drive?  If you do, you can restore your library iTunes from a State of backup file (date/time) when it does not have this problem.  In your case, it would be immediately before the last time you used iTunes with a working library.  Time Machine does incremental backups every hour, so this should be very close to when the problem occurred, if your iTunes library should be updated more often.

    If you do not have a backup (why not?) of your user data, look in the folder iTunes for a folder called Previous iTunes Libraries.  iTunes, these backups when there is a major update to iTunes, in the case where something bad happens or the user must go back to a previous version of iTunes for some reason any.  If the last backup of 'previous' iTunes library is not too old, you can use this library file to open iTunes, using this procedure

  • Remove iTunes mobile applications

    Hello

    I have a unibody Macbook Pro mid-2009 on the Mavericks and an iPad 2 on 9.2.1 and I have far too many apps in iTunes store and at my disposal when I sync. I want to reduce my apps to those that I currently use, and some of those that I can use again. How can I do this?

    So, to be clear, I want to remove the two purchased apps from iTunes Store, which I get via iTunes and remove these applications from the list that appears when I click on 'apps' in iTunes.

    You can remove them from the section of my Apps of your Mac iTunes library by selecting / select them and press Delete on the keyboard.

    To hide the cloud so that they don't show redownloading (impossible delete them permanently, only hide them) click on your name / icon to the top right of your iTunes, or click on the purchase link under quick links on the right hand side of the iTunes store homepage: mask and unmask purchases iTunes or iBooks on your Mac or PC - Apple Support ('x' may not show when you place your pointer over an application it) There is a bug in iTunes, but by clicking on its upper left corner, where 'x' should be, should always delete the app off and hide the cloud)

  • Removal of Documents and data and other

    Material: iPhone 5

    Software: iOS 9.2 (at day, on this day)

    I have an old iPhone 5 that I'm redirecting as music player. I did a thorough cleaning ("erase all content and settings') of the device before you start. I copied the music on it (via iTunes on my MacBook). After a few moments, I noticed that the use of "Documents & data" is now about 900MB, and 'Other' is about 350 MB. What is this, and how do I empty?

    There are no installed applications (other than those which are by default on the phone). He has been in flight since the reset mode (but with WiFi and Bluetooth on), and it is an inactive SIM (got a new with my new phone, so this SIM has been disabled by my company). The only active account on my Apple account. No email, social media, etc. accounts are configured. There is no photos, videos, podcasts, or anything else on it. The use of the storage (under 'manage storage') shows some nominal storage by default applications (from 16 KB to 2 MB) and there is nothing further stated within each application.

    Then... What is only 1.25 GB of things which are appeared unexpectedly? And more importantly, how can I get rid of him? Other than music files (and the music app), there is no other applications or data on the iPhone that needs to be saved.

    Thank you.

    'Other' data the iOS itself, as well as any app data, messages or email.  350 MB is low, so it's mainly the iOS.  The Documents and the data is most likely the work of art album data, and associated playlists etc.
