  • Music app wont open!!!

    i have an iPhone 3G iOS 4.2, i recently did a restore on my phone because it was running a little slow and plus theres a weird gray line running across the bottom of my screen and it only goes away when i turn the screen off...but now since i updated from iOS 4.1 to iOS 4.2 the music app wont open it jus stays white trying to open then it just crashes...any ideas?

    Hi Kat713,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If the Music app on your iPhone quits unexpectedly when you launch it, first restart the phone. If the behavior persists, reset the phone next:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    You can find the article with these steps here:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists after resetting the phone, I recommend backing up and restoring your iPhone:

    Then restore the iPod.  First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

    Since installing the latest itunes to windows 8 my iphone and ipod touch is not being recognized in itunes, therefore i can't change playlists or add songs etc. Is this a fault with itunes as it was fine with the older version or is there something i can do. I'm not on IOS yet but would like to backup my phone first but can't do that atm due to not being able to view my phone on itunes!
    Thanks

    Hi, jodie_0182.
    I would recommend the steps in the article below.  See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

    I have been trying to remove all residual apple files from my computer in order to fully reinstall iTunes. My devices are not being recognized by iTunes currently. I keep finding an Apple file under C/: Program files/ common files/ ......Apple.. under that there is an Internet Services file folder.. I am the administrator and yet it says I need permission to remove these files.
    Please advise.

  • My Apps wont open, and the computer (Powerbook G4) starts super slowly.

    Every time I boot up, my Powerbook boots very slowly, sometime taking up to five minutes. In addition to that, I can't open any apps, except for Finder, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and the basic functional things like settings. By they won't open, I mean the icons will bounce for a while, then a box pops up that says, for example;
    The application Microsoft Office Setup Assistant Quit unexpectedly.
    Mac OS X and other applications are not affected.
    Click Relaunch to launch the applicationagain. Click Report to see more details, or send a report to Apple.
    I really need to be able to use Microsoft word and stuff for school, and I can't afford a new computer. I'm running OS X 10.5.8
    I've browsed several sites, and I tried all of the following things:
    Restarting in SafeBoot mode,
    Making a new admin account to see if it launched quicker/ let me open apps (It didnt),
    Pressing Control + Option + P + R (it worked once, but it hasnt worked since)
    Used OnyX, (which now won't open either)
    I checked to see what login items I had, and there weren't any.
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Avery
    Also, I don't have any disks for this computer on hand, as it used to be a family friends. /:

    Hello Avery,
    I received an email notification about this topic even though I have this forum set to not send them so I think perhaps you sent it to me deliberately hoping I might have some ideas?
    First of all I think we should concentrate on your not being able run your essential apps and the crashes.  The disk repaired buttons being greyed out is usually because the account trying to do it doesn't have admin privileges.  It's a good idea to create a spare account that has admin privileges incase anything should ever go wrong with your default account.  From your post I think you know how to create a spare account via System Prefs.
    I'm not sure whether we can fix the problem but we can try to identify it at least.  If you have any irreplacable data on your PowerBook I think you should back it up as a priority and if you don't have a backup drive or can't afford one at the moment then beg or borrow one.
    I don't want to alarm you but if it turns out that your PowerBook is finally giving up the ghost your precious data will have at least have been backed up and ready to restore to a replacement machine.  Not long ago and in good condition a 12" aluminium PB G4, which I believe was 1.33GHz, sold on eBay for £45 ($72).  Early white MacBooks still pop up too and are inexpensive and faster and more RAM than PB G4 so all is not lost.  If we end up having to go down that route it might come in useful to make a note of this link:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powerbook_g4/index-powerbook-g4.html
    Paste it into Stickies or Text Edit as they don't require a lot of system resourses so should be stable when launched.  If it turns out you need to replace any components the site will have links to suppliers.  Using that link you'll also be able to check the detailed specs of any second-hand Mac being sold on eBay before purchasing.
    It would be useful to know exactly which PowerBook you have and how much RAM is installed. Click the Apple logo top right of screen\About this Mac\More info.
    My first inclination is that it sounds like a possible RAM problem, either faulty or not enough.  You have 10.5.8 installed which might be the most recent OSX that you can upgrade to which we won't know until you let me know the exact model.  That the case was with my PB G4 874GHz on which I had 1Gb of RAM installed (512MB is the official maximum but 1Gb worked fine and has been stable).  I should say at this point that with 1Gb of RAM it was quite spritely running OSX10.4s but started to struggle when I upgraded to 10.5s.  Did you upgrade only to 10.5 only recently I wonder?
    Let's try this: go to Applications\Utilities\Activity Monitor\Memory and launch a couple of an app and see how if Activity Monitor is spiking.  Start with light app like Stickies.  While still monitoring open and use another app, perhaps text edit.  Keep them open and playback soundfile perhaps, through a little player rather than iTunes if possible.  Is it overloading?  Once you've checked the memory do the same for the processor and the harddrive.
    I've enabled this thread to receive emails so take some notes, set to with the various things I suggested if you think they might help, and get back to me when you have something.  I'm working this afternoon (it's 09.58 here in the UK) but will be around this morning, later this evening and for some of Saturday.  I may of course have already given it my best shot but I'm happy to help if I can.  If we don't make any progress it might be worth compiling your posts from this forum and posting in the MacBook Pro forum as there are plenty of experts in there that might be able to help more than I can.
    Good luck,
    K

  • TS1538 iPhone 5 and Windows 7 device driver not being recognized

    I've de-installed in the correct order and re-installed all Apple software for Windows 7 x64 box.
    I've manually added paths to the device driver.
    I've re-scanned device manager.
    I've gone through 4 different kbb articles.
    Used 4 different USB ports on the Front Panel of this box.
    I've restarted, stopped, started the Apple Mobile Device Service.
    I've rebooted 15x, my Alienware R3 laptop works just fine.
    I can see the iPhone 5 in iTunes, and this problem has been occurring with my iPhone 4.
    Devices and Printers lists the iPhone and Apple Mobile Device USB driver without any conflicts on the exterior.
    If you go into properties boom Unvailable. I've turned off every shield in Avast. I only have 1 A/V.
    What else can I do?
    The rig is a custom built i7 3770s, MSI motherboard, 16gb DDR 3 RAM, USB 3 support etc. I've tried everything... why won't my iPhone get recognized? I seriously do not want to wipe the box for a device driver. Does RDP software create conflicts with USB devices? I have a couple installed.

  • My iTunes is not launching and my iPhone is not being recognized either...HELP!

    I've tried everything....including this....several times!!!
    1. Update iTunes
    Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. In iTunes, select Check for updates in the Help menu.
    2. Check the USB cable
    Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
    3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    iOS devices require Apple Mobile Device Support, which should be automatically installed with iTunes. To verify whether it is installed, follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
    Windows 8: Move the cursor to the upper right corner, click the magnifying glass, type Control Panel, and press Return. Click "Uninstall a program".  Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    If Apple Mobile Device Support is not listed, remove iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support, and then reinstall iTunes. Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below:
    Reinstall iTunes for Windows XP
    Reinstall iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    If after reinstalling iTunes Apple Mobile Device Support is still not installed, follow steps in Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows.
    4. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
    Follow the steps in How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service.
    5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
    6. Check for third-party software conflicts

When I am in iTunes and I click on Devices, it doesn't even show my plugged in phone it just says 'Sync' as well as a few others listed and they are all greyed out. Please help! I'm all blogged, Apple Supported and YouTubed out!!!
