I was watching a movie on my Apple TV and suddenly it stopped. I noticed I was logged out. Then I tried logging in again and I keep getting a message "cannot connect to iTunes". I restarted the Apple TV three times and tried again each time. I am stuck Help please
There's an issue currently that a lot of us are experiencing in that we all get the error message "iTunes is currently unavailable; please try later"
It's an issue with Apple and we're awaiting an update re this
I've posted a topic in regards to this after having a long conversation with Apple support this morning and will be receiving a call from their tech team tomorrow to run through it further
As it stands iTunes cannot be accessed via ATV's and nor can it be streamed via AirPlay from iTunes to the ATV
However I can access all films/iCloud content via my Mac Mini with no issues! -
When I put my mac in sleep mode I get an error message and I have to click on it and then select whethere to play on computer or airport express. This was not true with the old Itunes but with this new version it is true. Any help?
well nobody bothered to give me a hint on what to do, maybe because the problems with the new version of iTunes are really a lot, there is an enormous amount of people out there that have all sort of different problems including mine so I have decided to return to the previous version which works fine and wait untill the apple people come up with a decent product ....

When trying to upday\te my iPad to iOS8, i received a pop up saying that I must change my media sync settings. How do I do that?
This usually means you don't have enough storage on your iPad to do the update. Go to Settings > General > About and check how much memory is available. If you have less than 5GB you'll need to either delete data off your iPad, such as apps, photos, music, videos.
OR
Connect your iPad ot your computer and update iOS via iTunes sync. -

Just tried to update my iPad 2 to the current iOS, and I got an error that said the update wouldn't install. The iPad is stuck in a funny mode with the apple and spinning wheel showing. I can't power it down or restart it. What next? Thanks.
Try a hard reset: hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

I was trying to update my ipad operating system and I thought it was done. When I disconnected it from my computer the ipad went blank then the apple logo appeared midscreen with an elongated oval across the screen under it. Now nothing on the ipad works. I think it was backed up on my computer but I can't find anything that will allow me to sync the two or regain functionality on my ipad. Any suggestions?
Hi,
I would put the ipad in recovery mode and redo the update, once that is done you could restore the ipad from your backup and you would not lose any data.

It's the passcode you use to unlock your iPad.

I was trying to update my Ipad to IOS 8, the screen is all black with the apple logo on it and the progress bar is stuck.

Turn your iPad off.
Hold down the Home button and plug it into your computer. Keep holding the Home button until you see a screen telling you to connect to iTunes.
iTunes should show you a popup saying that there is an iPad that is in Recovery Mode and needs to be restored before you can use it. Click OK.

I am trying to update my iPad 2 to iOS 6, but I don't have the Software Update option. I only have About and Usage. How can I update?
In order to update from an IOS earlier than 5.0, you have to hook it up to the computer you sync with to do so.
Once you have updated, you will see the software update option on your settings. But this feature was not introduced until 5.0...

I am trying to update my ipad 2 from iOS 4.3.5 to 6.1.3. 6 hours ago it said 49 hours and now says 53. I am making no progress. Please help. I am using wifi connection.
You have to connect the iPad to your computer to update.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
