my ipad will not come on.  i tried to restore and get error message 1603, dont know how to take out itsw which it tells me to do.

Error 1603
Follow the steps listed below for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations. If you do not want to remove the IPSW  in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • HT4623 My IPad will no longer connect to Itunes store. I get error message "cannot connect to Itunes store".

    When I try to connect my IPad to ITunes store, I get a message "cannot connect to ITunes store".

    Hello, Darktowerfan1. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here are a couple articles that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue. 
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

  • Trying to publish and getting error message.

    Never fails...if I don't have time for a problem, Muse goes whacky. I don't have problems with any other Adobe software. But this one? wow.
    I'm just trying to publish and I'm getting the 400, 101004 error message.
    I delted extra files and would love to uninstall but how do I do that?
    And, when I relaunch, it tells me that my subscription expired. Nice. It hasn't.
    This sort of stuff reminds me of the old days with System 7 OS and everything crashing.

    Hello,
    Please try de-activating and re-activating Muse from the Help menu and re-launch (follow the onscreen prompts).
    If the above doesn't help, please try clearing Muse preferences as mentioned here - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5086018#5086018 . Once done try to publish again and let me know if you get any error message.
    Cheers,

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • I am trying to restor my ipod touch but i dont know how can you help

    my ipod got stole and thay changed the password i have the password can u help

    You have to add your artwork in iTunes and then update your iPod:
    iPod & iTunes for Dummies - Adding Album Cover Art or Images in iTunes
    Add Song Information, Lyrics, and Artwork to My Tunes
    Make sure your iPod is enabled to show the artwork. Connect it to your computer and when it shows in iTunes go to Edit>Preferences>iPod>Music tab and tick the box "Display album artwork on your iPod"
    A tip for finding suitable artwork is to go to Amazon, locate the album, save the picture to your desktop and drag it to the iTunes artwork pane. Another way would be to locate artwork using Google image search and put the artist or album name and save the picture you find there in the same way. There are also some programs like this one iTunes Art Importer or MP3 Tag

  • My iPad will not come on

    My ipad will not come on even plugged in. HELP!!!!

    did you let the charge run out? 
    If so, then plug it into a main power outlet (not a USB port) and leave it for at least 20 minutes, perhaps longer.  Then try to power up, or if that won't work try a reset:
    Hold both the Home button and the Power button down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
    Let go promptly when it appears.
    Wait 30 seconds or so for your iPad to restart.
    No information or settings will be lost.
