Can't Sign in. Been trying all day to fix this. Help plz

When I try to sign into ITunes Store I recieve error -50 & -3212 "unknown error". I can't connect to Apple TV. It also won't allow me to turn on home sharing. I'm using windows 7 and the current version of iTunes. I'm using Avast Free, but made the exception for the iTunes folder.

Updating from 10.4.7 to 10.4.9 - been trying ALL day!

Hi there. I decided last night to reinstall my iMac from the setup discs as I was having a few glitches (not wanting to shut down, having to keep forcing apps to quit etc). All went well, til I tried to upload my iLife '08 disc this morning. I discovered my installation discs were from Feb so i'm currently running on 10.4.7 - iLife 08, need a minimum of 10.4.9. I've tried doing via system preferences, software update, but just keeps getting stuck on locating software. so i've then tried downloading direct from the apple downloads site. still no joy. do i need to install 10.4.8, then 10.4.9, then 10.4.10 to get the most uptodate version? Doesn't seem right, and now the imac is running drastically slower on the internet too. taking an estimated 4 hours to download 250mb (my internet connection is slow anyway only on a 2meg connection, but still). Any help on the quickest way to get uptodate? And then to top it off, at lunch I had the same problem. Refused to shutdown when I tried, all icons disappeared off screen, but i was left with the blue background. I feel like I'm back in the pc days, and just want to curl up with my MacBook and forget about this iMac !!! Any advice gratefully appreciated.

i'm really surprised if i have to download previous versions to get to 10.4.10
You don't, that is what the 10.4.10 Combo updater is for.
There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them 10.4.10. compliant. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.

HELP!!! I did everything i could all day to fix this and i can't upload my video to youtube or export file because it keeps saying "sharing requires more memory to be available" How do i enable my movie to be uploaded or exported?

Question 1 / Plan A : When i finished making my movie project in iMovie 11 on Mac, i tried sharing it at all ways such as youtube, export, etc... it kept popping up: "sharing requires more memory to be available". I searched up all day on the internet on how to figure this out, i followed all of their advices but nothing seems to happen. btw i already got permitted for longer than 15 mins video on youtube. it's also weird that my computer has more than 600GB free space. So how do i upload my 2 hour video to youtube? and how do i avoid the popup of "sharing requires more memory to be available"?
Question 2 / Plan B: If plan A won't work out, i definitely don't wanna do this all over again because i took centuries and effort on this. What im trying to do is divide them to multiple projects, and maybe it will let me upload it because of it's file size? So how do i copy parts from a project and paste it to another project or event library so it would be easier for me to finish it in iMovie?
Question 3 / Plan C: If plan B won't work out, how do you screen record my movie with audio? What im trying to do is to record it by screen using quicktime and divide them by parts. I know how quicktime and soundflower works, but when i tried it, but the problem is that soundflower and quicktime audio was very crappy and broken at some point. So how do i record good quality audio with screen recording?
Question 4 / Plan D: If plan C won't work out, i guess the worst way to do this is to record from my phone, its such a bitter idea but i want this to be published in good quality. i am so tired and i took so weeks finishing this project and the ending results just ****** me off. Id be glad if someone has an idea on this problem im occurring. Hope y'all people and mac experts understood on what im struggling about. leave a reply on those of you who might have an idea on solving this problem!

When You select share, are you able to get either of these two windows?
First one is Export As
Second one is Save as QuickTime
I looked at earlier post and see You have 4GB RAM, maybe try a smaller format to convert it to,
then save it to file first before trying YouTube.

Leopard Wireless Dropouts - Tried all reccomended forum fixes - need help

I need to add my name to the list of people who are having genuine problems with the wireless networking in leopard. I am the primary systems admin for a school, and responsible for maintaining an install base of over 250 intel macbooks. Since upgrading to leopard we have had many many wireless issues.
We have 3com wx1200 wireless controllers running numerous 3com 3750 and 2750 access points. The security is WPA2 with PSK authentication (though I can shut the security right off without any improvements in reliability). Macbooks will consistantly drop the connection to the wireless requiring a "turn airport off" and "turn airport on" to re-establish the connection, which works about half of the time.... Many times the machines need to be rebooted. It seems as though our original core duo macbooks are the most affected, though the problem exists on all our macbooks running leopard. (currently 10.5.5) *Rebuilding any of the affected laptops with tiger instantly clears up any problems*. No tiger machines, and no windows machines have any issues with the connection drops. I've tried every documented suggested fix on the numerous other threads here where people are having this exact same issue. I've eliminated all the variables and my problem seems to be leopard alone, or perhaps leopard in conjuction with this particular wireless infrastructure. Regardless, it's time that this problem is officially acknowledged and that some strides are made to remedy it. I'd be very happy and available to work with apple engineers on this problem. I can provide whatever logs or dumps you need.
This is one of two unacknowledged widespread issues that is shooting us in the foot. We are also plagued by the problem where faulty parental controls partially restrict access to secure sites (in our case google docs). This bug is also all over the forums and goes unresolved.
Any ideas or suggestions (other than permissions repairs, keychain repairs, and upgrading router firmware - it's all been done!) would be most appreciated!
Cheers,
Neil

These are actually user to user forums - a place for fellow Mac users to get together and swap troubleshooting ideas.
However Apple Engineering does not read these boards on an official basis, so we can complain about something all day but until it makes its way through AppleCare to engineering it won't get on the engineers' work queues.
The other way to file a bug is to register for a free Apple Developer Connection Online account, which will then allow you to file bugs via the Apple Bug Reporter.

My iMessage says that I can't login due to network connection issues, but my WiFi works great. Now I can't sign in to iMessage, how do i fix this?

Whenever I try to sign in to my iMessage, it says check your network connection and try again. Well, my WiFi works fine and I am updated to the latest software update(iOS 7.1.1). How should I fix this to sign in?

Try these suggestions in this order.
Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Ipod not recognized by computer or itunes.!please help..been trying all day

i did 4 of the 5 R's because when i tried to restore my ipod the ipod updater 2006-03-23 wont even update because it thinks my ipod isnt plugged in. what can i do.

I have a very simular issue. I had my 5G iPod replaced by apple and i'm very scared it may happen again. I had the 5G for 2 weeks when iTunes would take a long time to recognize it. XP MCE 2205 will recognize it immediately, but iTunes does not start automatically nor does it recognize it if i start it. Then, i got that folder with exclamation icon, this is the reason they replaced it. I got the new one today, and connected it to my USB 2.0 port as i did before. Has been working fine. All of the sudden, iTunes is not recognizing it again. Restarted the computer and then iTunes decided to recognize it, and then iTunes locked up. I waited, then i got the "long write failed" error in windows. That scared me. I had to kill iTunes. Restarted my computer while removing the 5G from the USB. Once the computer was logged on, i connected the 5G to the onboard USB1.1 and... so far so good. The USB2.0 is a 4 port PCI card. ???? Does that have anything to do with my problems? Maybe not!

Getting error in Itunes need help been trying all day!

I'm getting error when I connect my ipod to computer and bring up iTunes error states
An Ipod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect iPod, then try again.

dana1322,
I had the same problem and found a different response elsewhere in help that worked for me. On Jan 29, 2014 at 3:37 PM "ifyoucouldpleasehelpme" asked this questions and got the following answer, which I tried and it solved the problem for me.
You need to remove a number of Apple programs, not just iTunes and then when you install ITunes again it will install all the up to date software you need.
a) Remove the following program in the following order:
ITunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
5Apple Applications Support (I actually had 2 versions of this a 32 bit and a 64 bit - so I removed them both)
b) Then restart your computer (I have Windows 8 on a Dell)
c) Then install the latest version of iTunes (it installs all 5 of the programs above)
d) Restart you computer.
I hope it works for you as well as it did for me.
Best of Luck
Greg

I cannot get into my iMessage account on my iPad!!!!! I've been trying all day!

It was working fine before but now I'm just getting real upset that it say it has a problem with me logging in when I am doing everything right!!!!!

Hi,
It might also help if you told us what you are doing to try and login which you think is right.
One definition of crazy is repeating the same actions overs and over expecting different results.
You could have an iPad that uses a SIM card as well as WiFi.
You may not then get an alert about not being able to contact the servers.
You may be doing all the right actions but have a poor and bad internet connection.
Although it is unlikely the place you are at may be blocking the port Messages uses.
More possible but also unlikely is that they (it is always "they") are blocking access to the servers by name. (Domain Blocking).

I have a verizon 4g that I upgraded to ios 5. I have three yahoo email addresses, the primary one didn't transfer the password. When I went to put it in it said "Server Unavailable" Please try again later. I have been trying since Thursday to fix this.

I upgraded my verizon 4g phone to ios 5 on Thursday. Everything seemed to transfer ok however of my three yahoo accounts, the primary one's password didn't transfer. I went to settings, mail, selected the email address and input the password however it won't take it and gives me the following error "Server Unavailable Please try again later". I have attempted to try again, no good. I have attempted to restore the phone, even worse, then none of the three email accounts (all yahoo) will take the password. As it is the other two accounts currently work on the phone as the phone is after upgrading. Please help!

Yes, someone posted a bypass and it works! Go to settings > mail, contacts, calendars > Add Account > select "OTHER" > add mail account > follow prompts > (IMAP) for incoming mail server host name input imap.mail.yahoo.com, user name and password > for outgoing mail server input smtp.mail.yahoo.com.
I contacted Apple. They are aware of the problem. Apparently the ios5 is having issues with yahoo mail. It has nothing to do with waiting etc... I updated my software on Thursday and have continually been attempting to go through yahoo but it won't work. The Apple technician I spoke to assured me they were working on it and to check with updates regularly to see if they have resolved the problem. Hope this is helpful.

Your issue is completely different. You are running Snow Leopard. There is no download for Windows Support software for Snow Leopard, hence the error you see. Snow Leopard Windows Support software is on the Snow Leopard installation disk.
You need the Snow Leopard installation disk or a replacement for it.

I have been trying for days to upgrade Flash Player on my Mac (Mac OS 10.8.3, Safari 6.0.4

I have been trying for days to upgrade Flash Player on my Mac (Mac OS 10.8.3, Safari 6.0.4, current Flash Player version 11.6.602.180), but each time that I download the installer and run it, there is a "General installation error" soon after starting the "Installing" phase.
Each time, the installer completes the "Creating Install" and "Downloading" phases, but soon after starting the "Installing" phase, an error occurs "Error: General installation error" and Safari is opened tohttp://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/completion/aih/?exitcode=30&type=inst all&appid=500
Is it unusual for another "Install Adobe Flash Player" app to open? When the "Installing" phase begins, a second flash installer box icon appears in the dock, but then closes immediately and then the first installer shows the "Error: General installation error" page.

Try this installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg
