TS1538 On Windows Vista, everything works through the USB ports except IOS devices. This just started and I can't get things to work. Help!
The past few days I find my IOS devices don't show up in "My Computer" and they don't show up in iTunes. All other USB devices work well. I am using Windows Vista. I have tried several troubleshooting things, including unintalling and reinstalling iTunes, stopping and starting the Apple monitors, etc. Nothing is working. Ideas?
It's really great that you're taking the time to help me. I did several of the tests you recommend over the last two or three days. It always shows that the iPod/iPhone/iPad isn't present. Here's more. I got a Norton tech to help me yesterday and it isn't the anti-virus, as we uninstalled everything and it still didn't work. I went deeper into the system through the control panel, and found the device detected on the appropriate USB port, but it won't show up in "My Computer". Two of the three devices show up on another PC, (I didn't test the third) so I'm leaning to something in iTunes because every other USB device I plug into the Vista ports shows up quickly and works perfectly (thumb drives, wireless mouse, camera, etc). I already unistalled all Apple software and downloaded new, but the problem still exists. I have restarted, unplugged, you name it and the devices aren't showing up. I can't wirelessly sync either because one has to set that up through iTunes prior to doing it.

I have been using firefox to access bridgebase.com but all of a sudden as soon as I log in to that website, it says the connection is lost. It doesn't do that on my laptop, only on this desktop. Can you help?

My ipod nano 6 will only play one or two songs then I have to force the next song to play. It will then start several songs before settling on one. This just started and I havent changed anything. How to I make it go back to playing songs continuously?
Then back it up and do a restore. If that does not work and if you are still under warranty, call Apple tech support or take the iPod to your local Apple Store or an AASP.

I have an iMac (the desktop) I've stupidly left the cable you plug the monitor into the wall with there. What are they called and where can I get a new one?
Presumably the mains cable, which you can get from an Apple Store.

How do I get rid of the "Downloads" button on my bookmarks toolbar? Somehow it just appeared and I can't get rid of it.
Firefox 20 changed from the old Download Manager to a new Download Panel. You can find a complete write-up here: [[Find and manage downloaded files]].
I suggest keeping that arrow around since it provides handy notifications. You can use the Customize feature to drag it down to the add-on bar where it won't take up as much space. To start customizing:
* right-click a blank area of the tab bar > Customize
* tap the Alt key > View menu > Toolbars > Customize
If you really don't need it, just drag it to the Customize dialog. You can always come back for it later if you like. -

All the images in my Speed Dial thumbnails have disappeared and I can't get them back.
All the images in my Speed Dial thumbnails have disappeared and I can't get them back. When I check the settings all the thumbnails have the site shown in the details so should be showing the site in the thumbnail, but they're just blank. I uninstalled Speed Dial and installed it again, but to no avail. Something is stopping the image appearing but don't know what. I paused blocking on Ghostery, but that makes no difference. Any suggestions would be welcome!
See [[menu bar is missing]].

I have the apple usb stick to install lion but when I put it into the usb port it does not appear in finder? How do I get access to it to install?
Try one of your other USB ports. Be sure to insert it with the plated fingers pointing upwards.

iMac froze while surfing web last night (color pinwheel), I forced quit and now when rebooting the fan and chime come on, the monitor stays on grey and the apple sign is replaced by a stop sign and I can't get past this, is there self fix? Never backed up.
The computer (top / back of monitor) gets really hot within minutes.How old is the iMac?
With no backup, you have probably lost all your data.
Sounds like serious hardware problem for which you are going to have to take it to Apple for an estimate of repairs.

HI. i'm on the beta version of iOS 7.1 (beta 3) and i wanted to get OTA update on my iPad2. after install, i unlocked my device and saw : it may take a few minutes to activate your iPad. after about 5 minutes, it was show an error : we couldn't activate your iPad at this time . please Help me !
Are you a developer? If so, post this question in the developer forum. If not, why are you using a beta version of ios 7? You need to restore your device as NEW in itunes and update the current software version.

usb 2.0 port on the right side (beside thunderbolt port) of macbook air 13" 2011 is busted, one of the pins inside the usb port is bent, is this replaceable? saw the pix on ifixit that it is part of the logic board.
The fix is a new logic board. It might be tempting to turn off the computer and start poking around inside to fix it yourself but you risk separating the port from the logic board and doing even more damage.

I tried to download a Cisco website application. The app did not download and it is stuck on the window where it has the option of open.....it will not open. The problem is that I cannot get the window off the screen and I can't get back to the App Store home page! Help! Thanks
Try this.
Reset 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
