HT1212 My ipad mini has been crashing a lot recently so I started a system reset. However, it's now stuck with the progress bar less than a quarter gone: this has been the case for several days now. I have tried resetting from itunes but it needs the pass

Now it's stuck with the progress bar less than a quarter full. I have also tried resetting through itunes which works right up to the point where itunes states that it needs the passcode to be inputted into the ipad to connect to it. At which point it then sticks at the same progress bar point. HELP!! please, this ipad is really important to my work.

Well the term "hotlined" I have never heard before. In any case many states (like NY) just passed regulatory powers to the State Public Service Commission of which it may be called something different in your state. You could file a complaint with them. Or file a complaint with your state attorney generals office, they also take on wireless providers.
The problem here is the staff you speak to are poorly trained, in days gone by it took one call to them and they pulled up your account and see the error and had the authority to remove any errors. They did not remove legitimate account actions, but used their heads instead of putting a customer off or worse lying to the customer.
Its a shame you have to go through what you going through.
Good Luck

I bought fifa 2012, while I sync with ipod touch 4g the progress bar more than half, after that my ipod says "the trasferiment fifa 2012 has failed." What should I do?

I bought fifa 2012, while i sync with ipod the progress bar more then half,after my ipod says " the trasferment of fifa 2012 has failed". What should i do?

- Try directly downloading it on the iPod. To not get charged again see:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- You can also delete it form iTunes and then redownload (see link above) and try resyncing.

Boot continues to fail - gray screen apple logo progress bar...

I have a mid-2012 MBP. I upgraded to Yosemite. Things were working well. Laptop wasn't used for a week - sleep mode was in use and battery drained. Upon boot-up, progress bar took longer than usual, and after 15 minutes or so it inched its way to the halfway point and finally got to my desktop. Sleep mode is great and I kept the battery charged and didn't let it drain. I needed to do a restart from some updates, but restarting took forever again. I booted off my usb3 yosemite installer and ran disk utility to repair permissions and repair disk. Both found problems and the repair to the disk said I needed to backup any files and start over.
So I got a smaller SSD and installed Yosemite on there, and did a migration to the new SSD. Everything seemed great and snappy for a few days, but once again, after using it in sleep mode for those few days, now it takes forever to start up. I rarely ever restart the Mac, it's awesome. But, the SSD was too small for all my iTunes backups and apps - so I got a 512GB SSD and decided to start over. Once again I installed 10.10 and migrated my data, this time from my time machine backup (few days old). It worked well for one day. ONE DAY. And then it wouldn't even boot. It was slow once, then the next time the stupid progress bar makes it 1/3rd of the way and just quits there. Disk utility finds no errors now, but it won't boot up.
The screen dims, the cursor appears, but the screen with the progress bar remains for about an hour until it brings up a screen full of text stating startup wasn't successful in a dozen languages and then it reboots. Over and over it goes.
When I boot off the usb install, the same progress happens, 1/3rd of the progress bar fills, screen dims, cursor appears, but eventually it turns into the spinning rainbow and the progress bar finishes. I never make it to the rainbow part.
I have reset PRAM as well... Tried different Apple certified RAM. Not sure what steps to do next, so I'm reinstalling Yosemite as I type this.
The 512GB SSD and the smaller SSD were both used in windows machines for at least 6 months prior to use in the Mac, so I'm positive they are good drives. Now I'm not sure if my original HD was even defective or not. Does anyone have any suggestions of things to try or what the problem might be? TIA.

If you can't start up and log in in the usual way, try in safe mode.
During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Log in as an administrator to carry out these instructions. If you have only one account, you are the administrator.
☞ If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode.
If you're able to log in, launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.

***after the most recent UPDATE...

Updated my 3gs to 5.0.1 and my battery life has gone from 1.5 days to less than half a day with no Apps open - how can I roll this back to 5.0 until a fix comes out?

Since updating my 3GS to 5.0.1 my iphone battery has gone, overnight, from 1.5 days + (with multiple open Apps) to less than half a day to completely discharge from 100%.
I desperately need to roll this install back to 5.0 but there are no resources on the internet (or this site) which indicate how I would do that.
Please help.

You cannot and should not go back to 5.0.
A fix is coming soon

When I try to format an external usb drive the progress bar only goes half way then freezes up can anybody help please

When I try to format an external usb drive the progress bar gets to half way then freezes , or stops and what ever time I allow it never gets any futher on , I have to go to the task bar and click quit to get on and the usb drive is not formatted is there a fault with my disk utility program I have updated the system
to lion 10.7.2
Can anybody advise please

Are these new external drives? How are the currently formatted? Have you tried doing this:
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

I bought a new Iphone 5 Friday the battery goes flat in less than half a day also the wifi disconnects in less than 40 secs this is really frustrating I think I have a dud phone or is this the new IOS6.1 software update?

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW device. If you've been through ALL the steps listed and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

EPM 2013 Report is displayed as cut off and shows less than half the width of the report in IE 10 and IE 9.

EPM 2013 Report is displayed as cut off and shows less than half the width of the report in IE 10 and IE 9. This issue occurs for some users only.I tried the same url in google chrome and is working fine.
Can you please help.
Please find the attached screenshot.

Hi BJ1986,
According to your description, I think this issue is caused by the IE browser that runs the report. To trouble shoot this issue, I suggest that we can try to clear internet temporary files, cookies and others in IE browser. And also add this site
as a trusted site in IE browser to check this issue again.
If this issue is still existed, it can also be occurred due to the setting or third party add-ons of Internet Explorer (IE). In this scenario, you can try to run IE in compatibility mode to check the issue again. Or I suggest that you can refer to the
steps below to troubleshoot the issue:
Click Tools -> Internet options.
Switch to the Security tab, click Local intranet, and then select Default level.
Switch to the Advanced tab, and click Restore advanced settings.
Temporarily disable third party add-ons. For detailed steps, please see the link below:

Hope this helps.

HT1848 On itunes, when synced to my pc, I show less than half of the music that is on my iphone 4. How do I get all the music onto my pc?

I am about to scream if I don't figure this out or just decide to leave Apple and get a Galaxy phone. On itunes, when synced to my pc, I show less than half of the music that is on my iphone 4. How do I get all the music onto my pc? I have read many forums and tried many things, but apple/iTunes is not intuitive at least not on a PC. When I go to devices it won't let me select "transfer music". It's grayed out. Why is this and what can I do? I'd like to delete some of the music off of my iPhone but don't want it gone forever. Pleae help.

Thanks Turingtest2,
I appreciate your response. I have done all of the things mentioned, but still when I click on "devices", the "transfer music" option is still not selectable. I see it, but can't select it. I am running Windows 7 on my PC.
However, one thing I read makes me take pause. At one point I did erase my computer back to factory settings using the mirrored image. We backed up all information and put the important stuff back on, but I don't believe we did anything with iTunes, so it's a possibility that the music that is in my library now, may only be music I have purchased since then. But, (thinking out loud) that was a while ago and I am pretty sure I have purchased more music than what is in my iTunes library, since then. Maybe I will approach it from that angle and see what happens.
It just doesn't make any logical sense that syncing goes from computer to device. Ostensibly then, my iPhone would only have the music that is on my computer after syncing and that is not the case. I still have all my music on my phone. I can see the new music that's on my phone get added to my iTunes library when I connect, which would make one think that syncing occurs both ways. I don't know. It's maddening. Maybe I should just follow my husbands advice and go to an Android. LOL. Or maybe I will take my laptop and phone to the Apple store and make them figure it out. Ha.
If you have any thoughts about this, let me know. Thanks again.

I have swapped my itunes to a new laptop instead of my poor old PC, however less than half of the albums have transferred. They were not purchased on itunes

Please help, I am getting rid of my poor old PC and have tried moving my library to a laptop, however less than half of my music has appeared. How do I sort this easily?

There should be an option to sync purchases from the iPod to iTunes.
See this -> Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
i cannot re-download them for free
Yes you can.
Click on Purchase and iTunes will tell you that you jhave already purchased then and ask if you want to redownload them (for free).

Set mpeg resolution to less than half?

Is there any way of setting the mpeg resolution to less than half? I ask this because I want to use the program strictly for HDV real time monitoring (not recording) and it seems like the latency is most affected by the mpeg resolution.

No, Half-Res is the only option. Is your CPU getting pegged while monitoring HDV at half-res? If not, then a lower res setting wouldn't help.
A major factor in latency with HDV is the interframe compression. There's a big random element to the extent of the latency depending on where in the GOP OnLocation starts getting frames. So if the latency is especially bad, cycling power on the camera might help. It's pure luck of the draw where you step into the GOP data stream.

My iPhone 4s shuts down with just less than half the battery remaining

My iPhone 4s shuts down with just less than half the battery remaining. Is my battery shot?

Hi LucMiranda,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPhone is not behaving correctly. The steps in this article can help with troubleshooting the battery issue you're seeing:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
iPhone or iPod touch displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive
If you see the image below, charge the iPhone or iPod touch with USB power adapter for at least 15 minutes.
You should see this image when iPhone or iPod touch begins to charge:
If the screen still displays the low-battery icon, try turning the iPhone or iPod touch off and then on again.
If the issue persists, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Cheers,
Jeremy

Photosmart 5520 showing new cartridges as less than half full

I've just replaced the three colour cartridges with genuine HP cartridges.
There are no printing problems, no error message, yet the Cyan and Blue cartridges are only showing less than half full. The yellow one is showing full.
I've tried all the steps on the trouble-shooting page here but no change.
Is there a solution?

Hi gordonbp,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I see that the colour ink cartridges are not giving an accurate reading. I do have a couple troubleshooting steps that I would like to run through to see if we can get this issue resolved for you.
First off, if you have the printer power cable connected to a power bar/strip, please remove it and connect the power cable direct to a wall outlet. Here is a document that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. Please note that the printer that is listed in this document is a LaserJet printer and that this is only used as an example seeing that the power issue applies to HP products in general.
I would also suggest that you attempt to reset the printer once the power cable is in a wall outlet. Here is a document that explains how to do a basic Reset on the printer.
Thank you for your time.
