  • Can't update my iPad and now stuck on connect to iTunes screen

    My iPad 2 stopped half way through updating today and now is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen. I connected it to my computer, started the restore process, downloaded the update and then I got an error and it went back to the start again! I thought, "ok I'll just go find the file that was downloaded and retry installing it" only to discover that iTunes had deleted the 1.5 GB update it had just downloaded (it took my 2 hours and to top it off I have to pay extra for anything over 500MB I use per day...) Is there any other way to install this update or reset my iPad to factory settings without having to update it?

    That screen means it has entered recovery mode and you can only restore by using the recovery mode instructions to connect to iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and summarized as:

  • HT4623 Updated iPad and not can't delete old icons after use

    Since I updated the software I can no longer delete the old icon after when I finish using them

    Sure, but its the best you learn how to use the terminal. OS X is Unix and the most advanced tasks can't be done in the graphical enviroment:
    1. Open Terminal (You should startet in your "home" directory, this is the default)
    2. Type: mdls /Applications/iTunes.app (This will output a lot of information)
    3. Look for the last keyword "kMDItemVersion", it should show the program version (e.g. "10.7")
    4. From now on what to do depends on the position of the iTunes version you want to delete. If this is the most recent version you will leave this file alone. If this is an older version of iTunes you will want to delete it. So there is a decision to make.
    4a. Leave this file
    or
    4b. Delete this file with: rm -r /Applications/iTunes.app (maybe the permissions don't allow this to do, I could not test it)
    5. After that you could use the finder to move your regular iTunes version to your desired position
    6. If you most recent version is in an other directory, e.g. /Applications/Music/iTunes.app, you have to do the steps above with this path
    It makes sense to locate first the iTunes version you want to delete. You can get this information with the showed mdls command or with the information dialog of Finder. Click in Finder the particular iTunes icon once, so it is selected, show the information dialog (cmd+i).

  • I just turned on my new ipad and all I see is a itunes app with the picture of the chargers pointing towards it

    I turned on the ipad for the first time to charge and the apple symbol showed up then the itunes app with a picture of the charger pointing towards it. no matter what i do i can't get to the home screen

    It is asking you to Conect to iTunes on your computer...
    See Here for Getting Started...
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/getstarted/
    Or...
    Access to a Wi-Fi network
    If you do not have access to a Wi-Fi network, you can setup using the latest version of iTunes.

  • I phone update failed and now stuck on connect to itunes but it wont connec

    I have the latest version of Itunes. I clicked update iphone to some .1 version of software and it was unsucessful. Now my iphone will only show the screen that says I need to connect to Itunes(the one with the cord with the arrow pointing to the itunes logo). I have reset the iphone. Nothing is working and I cant call for help.

    This worked!
    Nothing worked until i finally went to 8.1.10 FIRST. I had this same problem last week, updating a customer’s 3G to 3.0 from 2.2.1, on a MAC (using iTunes 8.2.1)! I tried on 2 different macs, 2 different sync cables, a bootcamp Vista SP1 on my MBpro and then XP pro SP3. All registered a 1602, 14 or 16 error everytime, about halfway through the update on the iPhone. I also tried removing the old 3.0 update and prefs file from the user data > app > apple directories with no luck. Also tried reinstalling itunes on the Mac.
    What finally worked was:
    uninstall itunes (if you have anything above 8.1.10).
    move your itunes library file (for windows, it’s located under the iTunes directory, usually called iTunes Library.itl). You want iTunes to create a blank file since your 8.2.1 upgraded itl file won’t work with 8.1.10.
    put your ipod into DFU mode
    restore your iPhone to 2.2.1 using iTunes 8.1.10 (go here to download older versions of iTunes)
    use the same site above to download 8.2.0 (not 8.2.1).
    install 8.2.0 and connect your iPhone. It will notify you about the update. Download & install the 3.0 update (if you uninstalled, the 3.0 update should be deleted).
    upgrade back to 8.2.1
    move your library (itl) file back. To be safe, I would hold the shift key down to select your 8.2.1 file (even if it’s named the same as the one you created from iTunes 8.1.10).
    1 hour later, I have everything updated. All I can say is that there’s a bug in 8.2.1 that wasn’t there in 8.2.0. I updated my iPod Touch first gen no problem with 8.1. Hope it works for others.

  • I get home after buying my ipad mini play with it for a bit then try to sync my songs, movies and photos on and it syncs fine. I then look back at the ipad and seem to find on the top right saying " not charging "

    I get home after buying my ipad mini play with it for a bit then try to sync my songs, movies and photos on and it syncs fine. I then look back at the ipad and seem to find on the top right saying " not charging ". I read other forms and people also struggeling with the same problem. My computer dose'nt have enough power. There must be another way for me to get to charge my ipad mini from my computer. It works fine charging it in an outlet. any ideas??!

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • Updated iPad and now bookmarks don't work  says address invalid

    Updated iPad and now bookmarks don't work         Safari says address invalid for the bookmark symbol

    Clear Safari. Close Safari. Reset your iPad.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
    To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Safari app then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    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.

    I do not have a simcard in my IPAD and seem unable to view movies that I purchased and downloaded from ITUNES when not connected to WIFI. Is there a solution to this?

    How are you trying to access them ? If they are fully downloaded then you should be able to watch them via the Videos app, you shouldn't need to be online.

    Make sure your iTunes version is version 12. if it is and still doesn't work, reinstall itunes from this installer: iTunes
    Make sure you have a Time Machine backup, but you shouldn't lose your library by reinstalling iTunes.

    Go ahead and sync. You have plenty of battery to get that done.
    USB pours do not provide enough power to charge an iPad efficiently. Once you finish your sync go ahead and use your iPad. Put it on the charger that came with it later.

    Yes, that is your only option.Yes.  You have to restore.
    Try the following if you have difficulty restoring.
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
