    You may have to remove & reinstall the AMDS, as described in that support article.

  • I created a document in Pages on my ipad and now it won't open up. How can I fix this?

    I created a document on my Ipad and when I finished it, I closed Pages. When I went to re-open Pages and see the document it wouldn't open. I click on the document and it shows the processing symbol but then the entire program closes. All of the other documents within pages open up fine, just not this one. Any help?

    Try resetting your iPad.  Hold the on/off and home buttons together for 7 or 8 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
    I'm assuming your default is to save Pages documents to iCloud, and that you had a good WiFi connection when you closed Pages the last time you tried to save the document.

  • Just upgraded macbook to Snow Leopard, and now itunes won't recognize my iphone.  I tried turning all off, and on.  I have the newest version of itunes.  Will I have to reset my iphone (and also ipod touch?), and if so, does it mean I lose anything?

    I just upgraded macbook to SnowLeopard 10.6.3 and now itunes won't recognize my iphone.  I tried turning everything off and restarting.  I have the latest version of itunes.  If I have to reset the phone (and ipod touch), what does that mean?  Will I lose anything? How long will it take?  thanks

    Start iTunes.  Make sure you really are running the version you think you are.  Sometimes people end up with two copies, different versions.

    You say you are running Snow Leopard 10.6.3.  That version will not run the latest iTunes which requires 10.6.8  If you need iTunes 10.7 you have to be running 10.6.8

  • I just downloaded i0s7 and now itunes won't recognize my iphone

    I finally dwnloaded the iOS7 update on my iphone 4 and i had to delete my music to download it, since it was 2.9 gbs. So after it was finished downloading, i wanted to put my music back on it, so i plug it into my computer and an error message comes up along with itunes and says "The Iphone 'BLAH' cannot be used because it requires itunes 11.1 or later. Go to itunes.com and download it." I knew I already had the latest version, i checked, but i downloaded it anyways and, guess what, it still didn't work. I'm confused so please help me out. Thanks.

    think yourself lucky.  i also had the whole itunes needs updating guff, but i'm using a mac.  anyway iphone recognised starts to sync and fails to terminate........i unplug my phone and the whole music library is corrupted every single song has a red dot next to it, not sure what that means.
    i'm now in the process of restoring back to factory settings.  would be nice if someone had tested this before throwing it over the fence to us users.  At least they are consistent, this happened exactly the same way when ios6 came out, so one just has to get used to it.

  • I moved a folder with most of my Itunes stuff on it and now i cant get it back. How can I fix this?

    Does anyone know how to fix this. I have my iTunes stuff in like 3 differnt places hoping that one of them is right. But i can"t seem to fix it.

    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • I upgraded my iPad (first gen) to iOS 5.1 and now it will randomly turn off.  How can I fix this?

    Thread title pretty much says it all.
    Shortly after upgrading to iOS 5.1, my 1st gen iPad started randomly turning off when I wasn't using it.
    -This has been occuring for over a month now.
    -It has not yet turned off while I'm actually using it, only after I've left it along for awhile
    -If I leave it plugged in, it doesn't turn off
    -I have trouble turning it back on after this occurs.  (I have to press/hold the button several times before it will finally turn on)
    -I've noticed that a lot of the time when I turn it back on, it will initially (for a second or two) show a battery % that is lower than what it actually is (ex. it will show 72% when I turn it on but then jump up to 90% after a second or two)
    Seems to me like it's something related to iOS 5.1 that my iPad doesn't like, likely a batter issue.  Although having trouble turning it back on would lead me to believe it might be something more.  It is an iPad 1 so maybe it's just getting up there in mileage.
    Any suggestions on what to do?  I neglected to take any backups.  Unless someone gives me other input, I'm planning on taking a backup of my current iPad and then restoring to factory settings just to see if that will solve this issue.  Although that's going to be a pain in the butt to get all my apps and everything back.  If I restore to factory settings, is there any way I can "upgrade" the to iOS 5.0 (or anything below the latest)?

    No, you haven't lost anything.  Simply sign into your iTunes account on the computer.
    As for the device not syncing, what specially happens when you try to sync?

    Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue.  Have you tried resetting your iPod Nano?

  • My computer won't let me run the setup.exe file. I am an admin I've run as admin and I've downloaded many times. I just reformatted my computer and now it won't work.

    Try this  - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

    Go to the genius bar. You've mucked up your MBP OS and it requires a hands on repair.

    I recently reinstalled iTunes, and now it won't recognize my iphone so I'm not able to sync the phone with iTunes.  How do I fix this?

    It has been shown there are problems with the latest update of iTunes and Windows computers. What you need to do is remove and reinstall iTunes, and make sure that you follow the steps in this support document exactly. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923. If you do not follow them exactly, you will just compound your problems. Once you do this, you should have no trouble having the phone recognized in iTunes.

  • I changed the drive letter on my iPod and now iTunes won't recognize it!

    Help please! I contacted an Apple associate and they told me to change the drive letter of my iPod in My Computer. I did that and now iTunes won't recognize my iPod at all and I can't change the drive letter back to the original one. What do I do?

    Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
    Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
    This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
    Try closing and re-starting iTunes. There have been cases where iTunes refuses to see an iPod, but after re-starting, it works again.
    Also try re-booting the entire computer. Especially if the PC has been operating for a long time &/or many programs have been opened and closed, repeatedly.
    Other USB connected peripherals may be the cause as well. Try removing all connected USB items and attaching the iPod. If you have a USB keyboard, it may be worth a try using the adapter to convert it to non-USB. If the iPod connects, continue plugging things back in until you have the problem return. You may have then isolated the issue. Sometimes it could be a printer, camera, Flash Card reader, or other attached device causing a conflict.
