Apple TV 2 is stuck on the "setting calendar/date"-screen forever. Please help!
My Apple TV 2 will not start, whatever I do. It's stuck on a screen which says "setting calendar/clock/date" (or something like that), and never gets past it. I've been waiting for it to fix itself for about two hours - so waiting wont fix it. Resetting it by pulling the plug does *not* work - neither does resetting it via the Apple Remote.
Please help me, I seriously need the Apple TV!

I honestly can't see how that can be the problem, it worked fine for months - then suddenly port forwarding starts to matter? Why?
And *how* do I forward a port anyways?
you'll need to refer to the manual for your particular router.
and i would bet that this IS your router or firewall that is causing the issue.

My ios update keeps getting stuck on the Restoring iPhone software stage. I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it again, but still nothing. Now I can't even use my phone as it shows the plug into iTunes screen. Please help!!!! Thanks,
A Restore first downloads a new copy of iOS to your computer. On a slow Internet connection this can take a long time. How fast is your connection? How long would you expect it to take to download 900 MB?
That's assuming nothing is interfering with the download. Some firewalls and antivirus programs will block the download or slow it down. So you should temporarily disable your security software. Security software can also block the update after the iOS download is complete. -

im a new apple user...my facetime and imessages do not seem to be working properly...although when it asks to sign in and i do get through that window but when the verification process comes i dont know what happens but i am sent back to the sign in window....please help.
I assume you have turned the Bluetooth on.... (Bluetooth not working).
On the iPad, try a reset (hold the power and home keys down until the Apple logo appears). I do not have an iPhone so I have no suggestion there.

I am trying to hide apps on an iPad, but the instructions given to hide apps do not fit with what is coming up on my screen.
IT says go to purchases and then click on the x next to the app you wish to hide.
There is no x next to the icons on my screen.
Can someone please tell me in easy steps what to do.
ThanksReread the instructions. You cannot hide purchases on the iPad itself if you are running iOS 6 or higher. You have to hide the purchases in iTunes on your computer - not on the iPad.

I just updated my iphone to ios7 and I keep getting stuck at the 'Set up your iPhone' screen. I click 'Restore from Itunes Backup', but it only ends up restarting after restoring and fails to get past the 'Set up your iPhone' screen. Any ideas?
Normally, I would suggest restoring the iPad and uninstall and reinstall iTunes but you have done both of those things - more times than you ever imagined!
Have you thought about turning auto syncing off?
Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
If you do this you can backup the iPad right away before it syncs. You may want to go into all of the iTunes tabs and just make sure that all of the current content on the iPad is selected to sync before you actually do sync.
This doesn't solve the problem, but it would prevent the automatic sync and erasing content. Hopefully, in the next few days- when iOS 5 is released - you will also be relieved of this weird iPad behavior - since the iOS devices are supposed to become PC free.
BTW - and this is no excuse for what you are experiencing, but I have found that some of the game apps that I had on my iPad turned out to be quite troublesome and after I removed them, my problems went away. I know that is almost sacrilege with regard to the Angry Birds addiction .... But I'm just saying ... -
I recieved an iPad mini as gift this past spring (2013). I tried to upate my iPad to the new iOS 7.0.4 software. It seemed work fine, but when it reboted it got stuck on the connect to itunes screen. I've connected my iPad to itunes and it does not recognize it. When I connected my iPhone 5s to itunes it recognized it immediately. Will apple replace my ipad if the connect to itunes screen doesn't go away?
The iPad doesn't need to be replaced.

i have an ipod touch 3rd gen.I used the function of erasing all contents and settings and now i am stuck with this screen showing the apple logo and the loading sign for the past 17 hours.CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hold down the on/off button and the home button for 20 to 30 sec, when the iPod starts and the Apple logo is on the screen release the on/off button but continue to hold the home button until you see the plug into iTunes screen. Connect the iPod to iTunes and you should be good to go.

IPhone 4 is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen and won't activate?
My friend wanted me to back up his iPhone 4 but when he brought it over it seemed like it was in recovery mode and it is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen. He never connected the iphone 4 to iTunes before this and I know he didn't tamper with it. When I try to sync the iPhone 4 with iTunes it accepts the iPhone but I keep getting a message that says that " the iPhone cannot be activated and may be damaged & to bring it in to the nearest Apple Store" this makes no scense cause the phone has not been tampered with at all & it seems that everything on the start up menu is working fine, the touch screen, voice prompts, the volume up/down, vibrate, home and sleep/power buttons are all operating properly? The only thing is that he hasn't payed his bill and AT&T shut his service off, but I don't think that this would cause the phone to go into recovery mode. What does cause the iphone-4 to go into recovery mode and why would I even have to activate the iPhone-4 if it was already set up? If this has happend to anyone else or if anyone can help me out on this one, I would appreciate it even if the answer ends up being that he needs to take his iphone-4 into the Apple Store or AT&T because the iphone-4 is under 6 months old and like I said has no physical damage at all? Help anyone???
well I only have a 3gs so I'm not all up on the current but the way I see it you have a few option's depending on the route you want to take,
If you don't mind loosing what's on the phone (if you want to try save info try 2 before 1)
1. (Best Chance) put the iphone into DFU mode, (1. turn off iphone while plugged into computer, then hold the sleep button count to three 2. then hold the home button whiile still holding the sleep button, count to 10 3. release the sleep button but keep home button,) then itune should detect the phone and offer to restore it, this should restore it
1b. I would repeat above with a active SIM card, doesn't make a difference where I live but you never know
1c. I wouold try On difference Computer (rule out bad download, currupt driver's etc etc
If you want to try save the information then I would say you are doing some of this at your own risk as I'm not sure about apple rules regarding these, the steps should all be legal but might void your warrently so be warned!
2. Download a utility call Tinyumbrella ( http://thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.com/ ) and have you phone connected and run the program, on the left should be a list of connected devices (make sure itunes is closed) click on the device connected and on the right click exit recovery, hopefully your device will reboot normally, (there's also an fix recovery option but I've never used that)
2b this option is to jailbreak your phone as that "hacktivates" your phone if using this option and it works I suggest a FULL backup then follow option 1 above, download a program call Redsn0w ( http://blog.iphone-dev.org/tagged/redsn0w ) and follow the instructions that come with it, again if this works I suggest a full backup then follow option 1 about even if you do wish to stay "jailbroken"
this advice is just some idea's as you have given no information on what happen or firmware involved current mood of phone ^^ I can only hazard a guess at the problem< if after these steps is doesn't work i suggest trying to bring it back and get someone professional to look at it

How Can I get My iMac Running again when its stuck in the Loading boot up Screen?
My 2010 21.5 Imac wont stop loading, The wheel just keeps spinning and it doesn't even boot in safe mode. the only thing i can do is get into single user mode. My Mac doesn't respond to command + r. I am able to pull up a disk to boot from but it doesn't show a recovery disk, only "Macintosh HD", when i click it I'm back at the apple logo screen with spinning wheel.At this point i want to do one thing and that is factory reset the computer. a fresh install, delete everything, NO BACK UPS. I don't have the install CD (This Computer had a previous owner). If i were to buy a copy of the OS X from the apple store (I believe my computer was running 10.6.8, Im not 100%sure and i dont now how to find out at this point) would i be able to even put the CD in the disc drive? would it read the CD even though its stuck in the boot up(loading) screen? How would i get it out if the Drive doesn't read the disk? Do I have Other options? Thanks guys!
You are using Snow Leopard. There is no COMMAND-R for a startup. That's for Lion or later.
Call Apple and purchase replacement discs for your model. You cannot use the retail version of Snow Leopard on your model. You have no other options unless you have the original discs that came with the computer. When you get the discs:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
