Keep getting "device not certified warning, Iphone won't show in Itunes. I had to keep digging out all my old cables and finally one worked. I've heard this is related to IOS .7.1.1. All my cables were Apple OEM.

This was maddening. Every cable I tried gave me a "not certified" warning and my Iphone wouldn't charge, show on my MB Air or show up in ITunes. I kept digging out cables and finally one worked. As long as I use that one, I have no problems, but I tried 4-5 others with no luck. Kept getting same message. All cables were Apple OEM, btw (except one). I was trying to activate a new Iphone and couldn't because it wouldn't show in Itunes on "Device" list, just wasn't there. One cable finally seemed to solve the problem, but none else would work at all. I tried switching to other USB ports, but that was no help either. I have to think this is a glitch in 10.7.1 which I understand is set up to detect aftermarket devices such as chargers and cables. It was a real pain.

All I had to do was complain.  I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store.  I have no idea why.

    Are you referring to the message that says your startup disk is full?  If so, you need to delete some files from the hard drive, or get a larger hard drive.  Moving some files to an external hard drive is a quick and easy solution.  Note that you should avoid the temptation to use various utilities to clean up your system or remove parts (like unused languages).  That will not free up much space and can easily result in damaging your system.

  • I keep getting error messages when trying download a tv show in iTunes

    I have been trying to download this for two days now, and I keep getting various error messages. The latest have been -3256, -42, -3271. All telling me to check my network connection (which is working just fine) or telling me that there are too many files open (even when iTunes was the only thing open). I've restarted iTunes several times, and I've restarted my computer twice as well, but it still comes up. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? I really would like to watch this video I'm downloading.

    This could be an issue with security software (firewall, anti-virus, etc) on your computer conflicting with iTunes. Either disable the software or configure it to properly run with iTunes:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106439
    Basically, you will need to allow ports 3689 (TCP) and 5353 (UDP) access in your security software.

  • HT200109 Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?

    Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?
    Great, so now I have to airplay it by linking my computer to my Apple TV and then the movie has to buffer! So, all that time I spent downloading the HD video has to technically "download" again by buffering. The more I use Apple TV, the more I feel like this item was not created by Apple. I don't even use it for what I originally purchased it for. If I would have known that anytime I wanted to sync a movie from my computer to Apple TV by using airplay that it would have to buffer the movie, I would have never ever ever ever ever purchased this waste of time device. So the video has to technically play all the way through one time first so Apple TV can "remember" the movie to play it back in real time afterwards.
    Am I missing something here? Am I doing something wrong that can be fixing my problem? I should have known that the Apple TV had so many things backwards when simple things like when you are using the remote and you reach the bottom of your list, in order to cycle back to the top of your list you have then press the directional buton back the other way rather than most modern day devices that will automatically cycle you back to the top or to the other side when you reached the bottom or end but keep on pressing the button. That **** annoys me when I am doing a search for a movie and have to type the name in manually and have to cycle back and forth to the letters. It makes me feel like I am using a rotary phone or something!

    I was told by someone to try and purchase something directly from my Apple TV and that will help authorize my Apple TV.  So I picked something that was free and it downloaded.
    Then I went back to the Movie that would not work and it played just fine. 
    So it seemed to work.  I will have to try it on other movies and TV shows later.

  • HT4623 I've tried to intall ios 7 but on the activation part on the phone i keep getting a message saying 'your iphone could not be activated becayse rge activation server cannot be researched. Try connecting your iphone to itunes to activate'

    I've tried to intall ios 7 but on the activation part on the phone i keep getting a message saying 'your iphone could not be activated becayse rge activation server cannot be researched. Try connecting your iphone to itunes to activate, or try again in a few minutes'. However when i plug my phone into the computer itunes has an error message saying 'We could not complete your itunes store request. The network connection was rese. Make sure your network connection is active and try again'. How do I do this? Thanks.

    unfortunately no, a million people are attempting to update their phones right now, and thus activate them. Patience will have to suffice.
    For the future, I would recommend not updating essential work devices on the launch day

  • I cannot get my ipod touch or iphone to be recognized by Itunes on my mac mini. Only when i download itunes each time afresh, will it show up the first time. Then these devices will not be recognized at other times. Is it because i am not uninstalling it

    I cannot get my ipod touch or iphone to be recognized by Itunes on my mac mini. Only when i download itunes each time afresh, will it show up the first time. Then these devices will not be recognized subsequently. Is it because i am not uninstalling itunes before I download it? Surely this is a basic thing, ie that my devices need to recognize each other?

    After you dry the iPod:

    - 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 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.

  • Firefox won't open...keep getting "404 not found" WHY? HELP

    firefox won't open...keep getting "404 not found" WHY? HELP

    The 404 message usually indicates a web page can not be found. If you are seeing that message in Firefox then Firefox is up and running but either having problems connecting to the web or not finding a specific target page. Sometimes the address may be wrong, sometimes the site may not be available.
    Have you written this message whilst using Firefox on another computer ?

    Is it one particular website you are having a problem with, if so what is that site, and what is the web address as written in the location bar. If it is many pages give at least two examples please.
    Copy and paste the location bar contents into your post
