I have been trying to restore my ipod touch for several weeks.  It shows on the ipod the usb to itunes screen but is not recognized by the computer.  I have tried 3 different laptops and a generic usb and nothing has worked.  Would appreciated any advice

I have been trying to restore my ipod touch for several weeks.  The ipod is on the usb-itunes screen but the computer will not recognize it.  I have tried three different laptops and am now very frustrated.  I have also tried several different usb connectors. 

Try putting the iPod in DFU Mode vs. Recovery Mode.

    You say you have iOS 7 beta. If you are a developer you have access to the private OS 7 developer's forum

    Otherwise you are on your own since you have a bootleg copy

  • When I start my computer, I get popup error msg that "Apple Sync Notifier" has stopped working.  I have tried several remedies suggested by those on the Apple (and Roxio) tech support. Nothing has worked. Trying to burn disc or puchased ITUNES.

    I have been trying to burn newly purchased (as well as last year purchases) ITunes to a disc.   I had burned some of these songs to a disc last year and all went well.   Now I have been getting this popup telling me that the AppleSync Notifier has stoped working & the corefoundation.dll needs to be re-installed.  Also that Windows will try to fix the problem.   Every time I try to burn the disc, the computer sends the disc back out and the screen tells me to put in a blank recordable disc.   I have tried 4 different new discs now and the same thing happens.
    I am running Windows Vista.
    Have been to the Roxio web site for help as well as Apple.
    Have tried many "fixes" such as:  updating latest version of Direct X from the Microsoft website;   Disabling startup items;   going to local disc C and into the Apple/Apple Appplication support and right-clicking on the SQLite3.dll and moving it tomobile support device window.   Nothing has worked.  What can I do to get some music recorder?   Should I buy a new cassette deck and record onto tape like I did 20 years ago?   This is a very important disc I am making as a gift & I need to get it done by this weekend.    Is there anyone that can offer good advice?

    love paying a lot of money for something that doesn't work right, thanks apple

  • Mozilla Firefox 7.0.1 is not loading web pages properly. It takes forever to load pages. Google Chrome and Internet Explorer load them rapidly. I have no spyware and disabled all addons. Nothing has worked. Any suggestions??

    Web pages are taking an extremely long time to load. Sometimes they don't load at all. This is especially true with video sites like YouTube. I scanned my entire computer with Ad-Aware, Malwarebytes, Iobit Malware Fighter, SuperAntiSpyware, Windows Defender, Malicious Software Remover Tool, and Emisoft Anti-Malware. I did an anti-virus scan with Avast. I also ran CCleaner and Advanced System Care to clean all junk. Nothing is working.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Running about 7 tabs open at startup, this has always worked fine, here is the problem and the sequence of events leading up to hope. Any suggestions would be appreciated:
    Background:
    Mozilla updated me to 7.0 automatically a few days ago, no problems
    Yesterday they auto updated me to 7.0.1, now it won't connect
    Scaled back to 3 tabs at start now it connects but after a minute of so, the icon in the tabs just spinning and it isn't connected
    Scaled back to one tab the same thing
    Reinstalled Firefox, disabled the Norton firewall to test, same thing
    Checked the application setting on the firewall, it is set to allow or auto
    I downloaded Firefox 8 beta same issue
    Any suggestions would be appreciated, not sure it is foxfire or not but the upgrade to 7.0.1 started
    Anyway to go back to a pre 7 release?
    I disabled the add on and have the same problem.
    BTW IE 8 works fine.
    Thanks

  • HT2101 I have turned off my device(ipod touch) for several days, and when I turned it on, the message is still there. What else do I need to do?

    My Ipod touch shows message"Ipod needs to cool down before you can use it"

    What else do I need to do?
    Please help.

    Place the iPod in recovery mode and then connect to the computer and restore via iTunes. For recovery mode:

    That is not true. Jaibreaking is not illegal and Apple can't seize your device if yu do.  The can just refuse service like help in this Apple forum.

  • I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO SEND AN E MAIL FOR 3 WEEKS NOW ON RECENTLY INSTALLED FIREFOX

    I RECENTLY BOUGHT AN APPLE MAC AIR, and was using Safari as a browser. I had problems with Hotmail loading and was unable to play my Zynga game, which I use as I am disabled and partially housebound.
    I called my Internet Service Provider (Plusnet) who advised me to install Firefox as my browser, which I did, with great success. Everything worked perfectly including Hotmail and my game.
    However, for the last 2 - 3 weeks I have been unable to send an e-mail on Hotmail at all, although I can read my Inbox.
    My friend has a similar problem, as he installed Firefox at my recommendation, although he is able to send an e-mail, he cannot make any attachments.
    Please try to fix this problem as soon as possible.
    Thank you.
    Rosemary Fraser
    P.S. I AM ABLE TO SEND E MAILS ON HOTMAIL USING SAFARI, BUT CANNOT PLAY MY GAME, WHICH IS WHY I SWITCHED TO FIREFOX.
    I DO NOT WANT TO KEEP SWITCHING BROWSERS FOR DIFFERENT FACILITIES - WOULD PREFER TO STAY WITH FIREFOX AS I CAN PLAY MY GAME.

  • HP Pavillion dv6000 shows it is connected to Airport Extreme Guest network, but does not allow internet access.  Anyone have ideas what to do?

    My MacBookPro works fine on both primary and guest networks.  HP info shows excellent signal strength.  Web page won't open.  Tried reducing security level from WPA2personal to WPA.  Tried entering TCP/IP addresses manually in HP.  I'm told that the HP works with other WiFi routers and can access Internet through other WPA2 setups.  I'm out of ideas.  Help?

    With a PC, the Windows Firewall and/or the anti-virus software will sometimes block an attempted Internet connection.
    Check both applications to see if you can find a "blocked" item and then take steps to "allow" the connection.
    If still no luck, temporarily disable the wireless security for a short period to see if the PC can connect that way. If it can.....then you know it is security related issue.
    See if the PC can connect using a setting like WPA-PSK-TKIP. The equivalent Apple setting would be WPA/WPA2 Personal.

  • HT1766 I have an IPAD 2 and when I awoke it I received an error message; "This IPad hasn't been backed up for 3 weeks." It goes on to tell me when backups occur but it doesn't back up automatically. How can I get rid of this message and use my IPad?

    I have an IPad 2 and when I woke it up it gave me an error message on the desktop: "iCloud backup: This IPad hasn't been backed up in 3 weeks. Backups happen when this IPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi." I have done all of these and it still doesn't allow me to get rid of the error message. I even connected the IPad to the computer and attempted to back it up using the Web but it still doesn't get rid of the message. Help!

    Reset your iPad to clear that condition:
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
