    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Why does Mobile Data notification keep coming up saying 'Mobile Data is turned off for "Numbers" and I have to click on OK to get rid of it? I KNOW it's turned off for that program because that is what I want it to be set at. What I DON'T want is to have

    Why does Mobile Data notification keep coming up saying 'Mobile Data is turned off for "Numbers" and I have to click on OK to get rid of it? I KNOW it's turned off for that program because that is what I want it to be set at. What I DON'T want is to have to click on OK EVERY TIME I open the program when I'm away from wifi.

    That is how it works in general, not just for Numbers. It irritates me on other apps at times, although I can see an argument that if it didn't do that then people would complain about missing functionality after they forgot they had turned data off for an app. At any rate, this is a user to user support forum and we can't do anything about it. If you want to make a suggestion to Apple, following is a place to do that: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • "An unknown error occurred (-50)" keeps coming up when downloading music purchase?

    "An unknown error occurred (-50)" keeps coming up when downloading music purchase, 3 songs from the album came through but the last one is having problems. I've refereed to the itunes store FAQ and tried the solutions provided, but still not working?
    The firewall on the mac is turned on, however I don't have any Web Accelerators, Ad Filters and I've just recently uninstalled my Virus Protection Software.
    I'm not sure how to go about fixing this problem, and the solution provided by Apple doesn't seem to help me at all.
    Does anyone know? Thanks in advance! (:

    Errors related to third-party security software
    Error 2, 4 (or -4), 6, 1000, 9006
    Follow the steps to troubleshoot security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or phobos.apple.com isn't blocked by a firewall or other Internet security setting.
    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.
    Restore your device while connected to a different network.
    Restore using a different computer.

    Hi David,
    any luck later?
    I'm experiencing the same issue and I see that you're also posting from China. Not sure is location-related but if you managed to activate you iPhone: how did you do it? Just keep on trying?
    I'm a bit fed up of trying. It's already two full days...
    Thanks, ciao.

  • Why does my iPad 4 keep shuting off when i enter the mail function?

    WHY DOES MY IPAD 4 KEEP SHUTTING DOWN EVERYTIME I TRY TO GO TO MY MAIL?

    Close the Mail app in the Task Bar and re-launch.
    Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar. Hold Mail app down for a second or two until it wiggle; tap minus sign to close app.
    If it still doesn't work, try a reset.
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo.

  • Error Message: "The parameter is incorrect" when trying to modify SSLs

    Like I wrote in my subject line, RoboHelp pop-ups the error message “The Parameter is incorrect” when I try to modify any SSL.
    What happens next, is that the “Print Document General” window opens, but does not allow me to select anything (the fields are blank).
    If I close the window and open it again, it seems to work until I have to select the styles from our Microsoft Word Template.
    Then the error message “The parameter is incorrect” appears again, and RoboHelp does not allow me to select anything but a stylesheet
    (which is not what I need).
    This is very strange, because not only  until recently I was able to build Word documents and PDFs, but also my colleagues are able to
    produce them out of my source.
    Even the old projects, that I was able to build, now I cannot.
    I do not have any problem in generating CHMs.
    Until now I have tried everything I found in the forum:
    I deleted the PSS file (also following the advice in your snippet number 14 from 10 – RoboHelp HTML –Features and Use).
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/120022
    I reinstalled RoboHelp and the Adobe Technical Communication Suite (I also used CCleaner to delete the registries).
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/598335
    I gave Administrator rights to all users in my computer (what seemed to work for some SSLs, but not for all)
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/870339
    I am also looking at all programs that I installed since the last time I was able to build .docs in case there is a conflict, but I do not find anything!
    My computer has Windows 7 installed and I use the Adobe Technical Communication Suite 3.5, with RoboHelp 9.
    My Microsoft Office is 2010.
    Can somebody please help me? Did someone have the same problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi there
    I know you said you reinstalled, but did you reinstall before or after you gave administrator rights to all users on your computer? And how many users *ARE* on your computer?
    Often you need administrator rights to properly install things.
    Cheers... Rick

    Getting error 3259 when trying to update newest iPhone version. I'm not tech savvy so could someone explain what this is and what exactly I need to do to fix this! I've not had this problem until recently.

    Another topic is talking about this. The is an Apple server problem and not a problem with your iPhone or local iTunes environment.
