  • My ipod is not working at all when i plug it into my laptop i get an itunes sign and below that plugin sign

    My ipod is not working at all when i plug it into my laptop i get an itunes sign and below that plugin sign also it says new software found however it first asks me to install the software disc which i dont have it with me now can you plz check for the same and reply asap...please thanks.

    The link I and Ingo provided included:
    1. Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    That is more than quicktime and iTunes.  Follow all the instruction in the link for removing and reinstalling the Apple software.

  • My iPhone 4 will not turn on. When I plug it into Itunes it says it is n recovery mode. I try to restore it and the error code code 3194. I have tried all the steps what now?

    It is usually given as a communication error between Apple, iTunes (your computer), iPhone. Somewhere they are not communicating, so the iOS you are trying to install cannot be approved by Apple. Trouble shooting steps include, making sure you have Current iTunes installed, make sure your Hosts file of computer is not blocking Apple. Try restoring on another computer.

  • HT1430 Is there any other way to reset my ipod touch? I am asking because my home button is broken.

    If you mean this
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    then no

  • TS1368 don't have PC right now - is there any other way to synch my iPod with iTunes?

    This is likely a dumb question but I need to ask...
    I am in between PC's, meaning I don't currently have a home computer (actually looking to purchase a MacBook but not for another 1-2 months).  I want to synch my iPod with the music we've been purchasing via my iPad. 
    I am figuring it is possible to go to a friend's house and use their computer to access my iTunes account and synch...is there any other way?  Just asking, just in case...
    Thanks so much!

    The only way to clear off the passcode is to restore the device.  You could always try the restore process on another computer that has iTunes just to get the iPod working again, then you could plug it back into your comptuer to sync all of his content back on the iPod.

  • HT1911 My old Apple ID was tied to an email address that I no longer have access to, and for some reason, my security question answers don't seem to be working. Is there any other way to retrieve or reset my password?

    I have a new Apple ID - I would love to be able to merge them. Is that possible?

    You need to contact Apple. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.

  • Ipod isnt locked but will not turn on even when i plug it into the computer

    I have a 5th generation ipod with video 30gb. It will not turn on. i made sure it was unlocked. I have tried plugging it into the computer. It will not even charge. Whats wrong with it? I havent used this ipod for a few years. I have no idea what operating system it is running on.

    Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the iPod On...

  • ITunes will not open on my pc. How can I save my iBook files any other way ? .

    I tried synch my iPad with another PC with iTunes installed, a message said that my iPad content would be erased.
    Is there any way that I can save my iBook content ?.

    First make sure all windows update components are installed prior to installing any third party software.  Then -        
    Have you installed Apple Application Support - it is a required framework for iTunes (and Quicktime).
    All elements of Apple software work best with Admin usermode installation.  New itunes versions should definitley be rebooted prior to first use.  if you install Apple software support - make sure you only have the option to notify you of updates pending - this package can install many elements not specific to your requirement and some which may have no use for you whatsoever. However run it at least once before using iTunes as it manages updates to programs already detected as installed.
    There are some cases known where, on installation being finished and rebooting - the apple Application support service fails to install in automatic startup mode - this normally occurs when using a normal user account with admin elevation enabled.  this is not the same as Admin mode though and will not always guarantee that kernel drivers will be correctly set in the registry for startup.  Use Administrator account for Apple installations.
    Some Antivirus programs will block installations of kernel drivers (itunes required) by default, or set themto manual start 9the installation is allowed because iunes is the permission set for the installation - the antivirus program will prevent suspicious activity (kernelmode installers) whilst allowing the parent process to complete - if your iTunes installation fails - uninstall, reboot, switch to admin user, suspend your antivirus program, including any system or application running watch it runs if it is an included element - then re-install itunes.  When finished, type Services.msc in the Start search box and check that related services are all set to start Automatically.  Reboot when finished.
    Unless you try to install an x86 on a x64 required program directory this should solve your problem.

  • Is there any other way to upgrade my ipod touch 2nd gen to ios 4.3? even a simple facebook app and twitter is not on my itouch. :(

    please do answer my concern. i know apple wont let this kind of crap.

    The bad news is that all new apps created with Apple's latest iOS SDK require devices to be running iOS 4.3 or greater. This means that all first and second generatio iOS devices will not get any new app updates. I'm afraid you're going to see less and less available apps on the App Store for your device as developers update their apps for iPhone 5 screen (which will drop compatibility for iOS 4.2)
    Your only option really is to sell that iPod touch and get a newer one.

  • I have an iphone 4 and i forgot it's restriction passcode, i can't restore it and also can't update it. is there any other way to reset the restriction passcode?

    i want to reset my iphone to came back to it's factory setting, but it needs restriction passcode and i can not remember it, i can not even restore my iphone to get rid of this problem, is there any other way to turn off restriction passcode?

    The only way to get rid of the restrictions passcode is to restore the device. Why can you not restore the device. The restrictions passcode will not prevent you from restoring, only the regular 4-digit passcode to enter the phone can do that. If that is your problem, then see this support document for instructions. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212

  • I have an iPod touch that will not turn on.

    Hello forums! I have an iPod touch that will not turn on. I have tried everything I can to turn it back on, but I just cant find the right thing. I dont know if it is in need of a new digitizer, or the battery is dead, but I would really appreciate some help. It is an iPod touch 3rd generation.

    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • OK, I need to be able to have a linked TOC, and also have destinations created in FM10 that will not be lost when I 1. Save the book as a PDF. then 2.  need the PDF to be as small as possible, but without losing my destinations. Anyone know how to do that

    OK, I need to be able to have a linked TOC, and also have destinations created in FM10 that will not be lost when I 1. Save the book as a PDF; then 2. I need the PDF to be as small as possible, but without losing my destinations. Anyone know how to do that??
    I had been saving as a PDF and then reducing the size of the PDF by printing it as a PDF with a degree of image compression. I write manuals with a LOT of screen captures and line art that needs to be clear. So it is a balancing act between image clarity and PDF size. The PDFs on the web need to be smaller - sure you can undertsand.
    Anyway, when I print the PDF again, I lose both my destinations and bookmarks.
    Anyone know of any way to avoid that?

    Control the images by creating a custom PDF Job Options and then selecting it in the PDF Job Options drop-down of the PDF setup dialog box (File > Save as PDF...)
    Create the custom PDF Job Options file with Distiller. If you do not have Distiller, open the Printing Preferences of the Adobe PDF printer. Start with the Smallest File Size Job Options settings and Edit.
