  • I recently updated by iphone 4s but can't figure out how to put icons on the desktop as short cuts to my games.

    I recently updated my iphone 4s but can't figure out how to put my game icons on the front page to use as shortcuts to my games. Anyone know?

    Dear Friend ,
    Can you please be more clear by mentioning what do you mean by shortcuts to the games ?
    Still Here is what it takes you to get what you want .
    Firstly , your iPhone by default comes with preset of 16-18 Apps in your Homescreen (including Dock)
    Make sure your apps are installed either directly from the app store in your phone or through iTunes in your Mac or PC
    once they are installed you can notice them by swiping the homescreens.
    Long press the app icon , you can notice they all would be in "jiggle" mode
    Drag them and place them in your home screen

  • HT1351 Got a used 4th gen nano, but i need to sync it. i can see it but i cant figure out how to authorize it

    Got a used 4th gen nano and I need to sync it with my library on my computer. I can see the ipod but i cant figure out how to authorize it

    You don't need to "authorize" it, unless you are trying to sync content that uses DRM (copy protection).  You probably just need to set up syncing.
    First, if the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  The iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES, when connected.
    Select the iPod in the sidebar.  The iPod's Summary screen is shown to the right.  Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons, starting with Summary.  Click on Music to the right of Summary.  This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music.  If your iTunes music library is small enough to fit on the iPop's storage, you can choose to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  From the lists below, select what you want to sync the iPod.  One convenient way to set this up is to create one or more playlists in your iTunes library, and put ALL of the songs you want on the iPod on those playlists.  (Or you can use existing playlists.)  Back on the iPod's Music screen, select (checkmark) those playlists under Playlists.  You can also select other items on those lists, as desired.
    When you click Apply, iTunes syncs the songs in your selections to the iPod.  Going forward, to update the iPod, just update those playlists in your iTunes library (add/remove songs).  The iPod does not need to be connected.  The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes updates the iPod with the same changes automatically.

  • HT1491 I have ten dollars in my account but i cant figure out how to use it to buy a cd?

    I have ten dollars in my account but i cant figure out how to use it to buy a cd?

    You can't.  The iTunes Store does not sell CDs.  The music it sells comes as downloadable music files.
    If that is what you want, just search in the Store for what you want, and then click Buy.  Note that the Store will collect sales tax.  The amount depends on where you live, but in most places, you cannot buy a $9.99 album for $10 since the sales tax will put you over.

  • HT201272 I ACCIDENTLY REBOOTED MY IPOD AND NOW I CANT FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THE PREVIOUS TUNES DOWN LOADED

  • TS2446 i cant remember the answers to my security questions.  i have reset my password and added the recovery email account but still cant figure out how to purchase new content. it asks me the same security questions. how do i fix this?

    i cant remember the answers to my security questions.  i have reset my password and added the recovery email account but still cant figure out how to purchase new content. it asks me the same security questions. i also have a temp pin. how do i fix this?

    If you've just added an address to your account then it will be an alternate/secondary email address, a rescue email address can only be added by answering 2 of your security questions. If you already had one on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email addressthen you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • I have a ipod nano and i cant figure out how to put my itunes music on it

    i cant figure out how to sync my music to my ipod nano

    It's easy. When you added music to iTunes (buy it in iTunes or just add your own music), just connect your iPod, click on the iPod button in iTunes (it will appear), then choose music and enable syncing all your music (or just some artists, genres or playlists). Then just sync your iPod with iTunes.

    I suspect you have the original (first generation, 1G iPod those can only go to iOS 3.1.3, If your iPod does not have an internal speaker and no volume buttons on upper left edge it is a 1G.
    Otherwise:
