I need to restore my ipad but it won't restore because the software isn't updated and you can't update the software because it is in recovery mode. What do I do know?
I would take it to the apple store to get recovery mode taken off.

Hey, my ipad is disabled and i cant open. i tried connecting it with itunes in recovery mode to restore it but it wont work it doesnt show and options itunes doesnt detect my ipad in recovery mode. what do i do know? please help!!!
If you followed these instructions and you were unable to enter recovery mode, I'm still leaning toward a hardware problem. Also, since you have IOS-7, read this. It might help.

I'm trying a full restore in Lion, but it won't. States that there isn't enough space on the Mac HD. How do I restore everything from a recent Time Machine Backup?
Thanks but I think it has something to do with the 'restore'. in the newest iTunes 11, when I click on the tab "iphone", it redirects me to the "welcome to your new iphone" page and asks about doing a 'restore'. I already did a 'restore', but it went to the original factory settings and I want to 'restore' to my lastest back up as of April 12. When I choose that option, it says my iphone doesn't have enough space. I don't know how much I need to delete in order to make it work. I've deleted lots, but it only has 4.1 GB available. I'm not sure why this isn't enough to do a 'restore'. I don't want to delete all my photos and videos, but maybe I will have to?...7.7GB is used up for that. I can't sync or do ANYTHING...

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

I purchased an ipad for my husband in 12/2011 - it was stolen last night and i can't find the receipt with insurance and warranty.
The warraty doesn't cover lost or stolen.
If the iPad was running iOS 7, the thief/finder will not ever be able to use it.

I need to get raw plugin for Canon 5D Mark iii for CS6 the adobe website has changed and I can not find the download.. it keeps looping me back to the product download page without the raw
Which operating system are you using?
Have you tried Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6 to get either camera raw 8.3 or 8.7.1, which should enable photoshop cs6 to open the canon 5D Mark III files.
(version of camera raw depends on your operating system)
If that doesn't work try one of the following camera raw plugin installers:
Camera raw 8.7.1 plugin
https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/camera-raw-plug-in-installer.html
If you have windows xp or vista or mac os x snow leopard (10.6.8), then you'll have to use the camera raw 8.3 plugin installer:

I have just backed up my ipad. I want to make sure that iTunes will not reset, if I chose to set the iPad up as a new iPad. I do want to eventually put everything back onto my ipad.
Pictures are not saved in iTunes. All photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process should remain on your computer.
Photos/videos captured by the iPad or saved on the iPad from a received email, from an iMessage, from a website, or imported from a digital camera or from an iPhone with the Camera Connection Kit can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera - especially before restoring the iPad.
All iTunes content on your iPad - music, movies, tv shows, tones, audio and print books, and 3rd party apps should be in your iTunes library on your computer. -
I bought a ton of apps on my iPad (First generation), and when I upgraded to an iPad 2 (currently running ios 8.1.2), I was able to re-download those apps and purchase new ones using my same appleID. However, now, when I go to the purchased section of the app store (both on my iPad and on my Macbook Pro) again using my same appleID, the only purchases showing are ones that I made after I upgraded to the iPad 2 (in Feb 2014). Nothing previously purchased shows up in that section. So now, when I try to use family sharing or even just download my early purchases onto a new device using my own appleID, I can't. The app store just prompts me to purchase the apps as if I never bought them before.
So, for example, I have minecraft pe on my iPad (it's still there and works fine, and it's the latest version 0.10.4). A few months ago, I was able to put it onto a new device (my brother's) using my appleID. He then deleted it off his iPad, but now wants to re-download it. Since we're on family sharing, he tried going to the purchased section of the app store under my name, but it wasn't there. When I looked on my own iPad in the purchased section, it wasn't there either. When I signed into his iPad with my appleID, and searched for the app in the store, it prompted me to purchase the app for $6.99 instead of offering to download it from iCloud, like it used to do. I've checked on my Macbook, and, there too, it doesn't show up in the purchased section. I don't have any hidden apps, so I couldn't 'unhide' it either.
At some point, I'm sure I'll upgrade my device, and I'd like to know that all my apps (including minecraft) can be downloaded - especially since I've been using the same appleID for all my purchases. Is there something I'm missing? Any help on how to get access to those apps that I've already bought onto new devices? I'd rather not have to re-purchase everything.
Thanks in advance!If you are completely confident that you didn't hide it, then you purchased those with different apple id. If you completely confident that you purchases with same apple id then you have hidden it. One of the other or you are speaking about a miracle. While miracles are possible they are not very likely.

Hello, I need your help to restore my IPAD (4g - 32MG). I uptaded the IOS7 on my Ipad yesterday and I made a mistake of not writing down the passcode on a paper. After trying unsuccessfuly to have access to it, my IPAD was disabled. I went to the store I had bought my IPAD and a guy from Apple Store tried to help me. As I had never sync my IPAD with any PC before, he told me the only option was to restore my IPAD. But when he tried to restore it through ITunes on his computer, a message of error appeared and he could not do it. I have tried to download ITunes on my PC but apple support says that that is unable to run the Itunes and suggests me to unistall ITunes and try to isntall again. I have already tried three times and it didn't work...when I turn on my IPAD it shows an image asking to connect to Itunes and I can't get to ITunes. I do appreciate if somebody can help me to solve this problem. Thanks.
You will have to use recovery mode, losing all data.

I started to replace my ipod 4g screen but the silver plate that goes on top of the battery won't go back into place. It's not lining up with the screw holes so i can't finish the repair. Please I'm begging you all to help me with some advice and tips!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will be greatly appreeciated. ASAP
Your best bet is to email the company that sold you the screen for advice. Or you could search on YouTube for repair instructions. Hopefully, you will see where you went wrong. Apple will not do an out-of-warranty replacement on an iPod that has been opened.

How can I find the owner of a found phone that must have been reported stolen but all you want to do is find out who the person is that owns the phone. But you have no idea who the person is who stole the phone in the first place but now you only want to give it back to its rightful owner.
I found a iPhone 5s, and I'm willing to return to the owner ASAP, but it seems that "he" have not turned on "Find my iPhone".
Could anyone help me get in touch with the owner, that was probably here for the 2014's World Cup?
I'm a Brazilian Apple user, and got stolen 6 months ago. I'm fully aware of what it is. Please, don't flood me with the obvious. The law here DOES NOT WORK.
This owner must get it back, even if I must send it overseas.
Thank you for the support.

See the attached photo. I have a photo open but I cannot see the top part of the application. It will not let me scroll up. I cannot move the application. When I click on F3 I can see the full screen and can see the photo but as soon as I click anywhere it goes back to the cup off screen.
That's the organizer? Sorry, but the Grab menu is in front in your screenshot.
If so, go to your username>library>Application Support>Adobe/>Elements Organizer/11.0>organizer and delete status.dat.
BTW, just for future reference, you don't need to bother with Grab for general screenshots. Cmd+shift+3 captures the whole screen, cmd+shift+4 and drag to capture part of it. Here are some other shortcuts (article is for 10.8 but they're the same in 10.9) -
Is there any way to use Airdrop between Imac and Ipad air?
I cant quite believe thatthe two are not interlinked!!? or am i missing something? i can pick up iphone on the ipad, ipad on the iphone but pick neither up on the imac or the imac on the ipad or iphone. Can anyone shed any light on this?AirDop on the Mac is a different tech than AirDrop on the iPhone and iPad. At this time, there is no interaction between thew different AirDrops.
It is a little confusing that they are called the same, but are in fact different.
Why Apple did this, I can't say. Maybe in the future it will be possible.
