Trying to activate a new iPad mini. Keep getting message that activation server can't be reached and to try through iTunes. I can't go back beyond the language choice screen to select iTunes. Two days of trying to activate. Help?

Apple's download AND activation servers are being stressed today with all the downloads/activations. It might be best to wait and try later.

HT4623 When trying to install iOS 7.06 on my iPad I keep getting message that update failed. What do I do now?

I'm trying to update my iPad2 to iOS 7.06. In Settings it says there is an update. As far as I can tell the download completes although it seems to download slowly. But I always get a message saying installation has failed. Any ideas on what to do next? Thanks.

I strongly suggest using the instructions provided in the "Update your device using iTunes" section of the HT4623 article you attached above.

The speaker on my new ipad mini keeps making a crackling noise when playing music or games and even just typing

Has anyone else had this problem? It goes away for a while but when randomly starts happening again. Is this a common fault with the ipad mini or do I just have a faulty ipad? It is only 2-3 weeks old and never been dropped.

Sounds like there may be an issue with the speaker, contact apple and see if they can help you out.

Trying to upgrade to osx mavericks, but keep getting message that apple ID is disabled?

Hi, When I try to download my free upgrade to osx Mavericks, I get a message that "We could not complete your request. there was an error in the App store. Please try again later. (100)". When I click the OK on that message, I get another message that my "apple ID is disabled, and it points me to the itunes support URL." I can't tell you how many times I have resubmitted a new iTunes password.
Is this happening to others? What should I do?
Appreciate your help.

Sometimes they can disable it due to perceived fraudulent activity. You may need to call AppleCare to determine if that is the case.

Locked out of iPad due to multiple attempts to log in and forgot passcode. Now cannot reactivate

Were you running iOS 7 beta? If so, as a developer you need to log into the Developer forum for assistance.
Not a developer and running iOS 7 beta? Then you've stolen Apple's software and will receive absolutely no assistance from this forum. Enjoy your iBrick!

On new MBP I keep getting message that I need to shut down and then restart

I just got a new 13" MBP. I took the old 500GB 7200 rpm HD (which was operating perfectly) out of my old 13" white MB and put it in the new MBP. Now at boot I get as far as a gray screen, then I get a black screen with text in several languages saying that I need to shut off and then restart the computer. I went through this drill 5 times with no indication that anything was improving. I am sure that the edge card connector is fully seated on the old HD. Any ideas as to what is happening here?

The Operating System for the old and new machine is different, you can't just swap drives like that, what you're getting is a Kernel Panic.
You need to install the OS from the install discs that came with the new machine onto that hard drive. Boot from your new install DVD (hold c at start) and do an Archive Install of the OS so it saves your user data.

Trying to download an ebook on ipad. Keep getting message "ibooks is required."

Been trying to download ebooks on ipad. Keep getting message "ibooks is required." deleted ibooks and reinstalled, but still same problem. Even erased my ipad, still no luck. Can someone suggest a solution. Extremely frustrating. Wake up apple..
Thanks in advance.

Try simply restarting your device. Also, try signing out of iTunes and sign back in. If that doesn't work then go into the iBooks app and get books from there. You can tap Store in the upper left hand corner to take you to the ibooks store.

When trying to download apps on my new iPad I keep getting prompted to update my security questions for my safety. When I choose this option it freezes and won't load the questions, however, when I hit not now it won't let me download. What do I do?

When trying to download apps on my new iPad I keep getting prompted to update my security questions for my safety. When I choose this option it freezes and won't load the questions, however, when I hit not now it won't let me download. What do I do?

Reboot your iPad and then see if you can set the security questions.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

If you end up having to remove and reinstall iTunes, make sure you follow all of the steps in this link:

This section contains information that might help your situation, as the order and manner which you uninstall has an effect on the outcome:
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update

Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.

It was working perfectly till 13/4/2015 night and next day morning it showing this problem.There is no physical damage to my iPad and is in perfect good condition.

It's just been one year and 7 days only since i bought my iPad,i.e, just 7 days out of warranty period only.I don't find any fault with the hardware neither no physical damage is there.
