Hi there mmimadi,
It may seem a bit repetitive, but I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below. If the issues persist, there a a few other things we can try.

Here's a nifty agorithm to fill an array of primes, using a forever loop with a labeled continue statement, from Horton's Beginining Java:public class MorePrimes
public static void main(String[] args)
    long[] primes = new long[20];    // Array to store primes
    primes[0] = 2;                   // Seed the first prime
    primes[1] = 3;                   // and the second
    int count = 2;                   // Count of primes found - up to now,
                                     // which is also the array index
    long number = 5;                 // Next integer to be tested
    outer:
    for( ; count < primes.length; number += 2)
      // The maximum divisor we need to try is square root of number
      long limit = (long)Math.ceil(Math.sqrt((double)number));
      // Divide by all the primes we have up to limit
      for(int i = 1; i < count && primes[i] <= limit; i++)
        if(number%primes[i] == 0)             // Is it an exact divisor?
          continue outer;              // yes, try the next number
      primes[count++] = number;               // We got one!
    for(int i=0; i < primes.length; i++)
      System.out.println(primes); // Output all the primes

HT6162 Hi guys, I downloaded this new iOS7.1 but it always fails to install. It says I am not connected to the Internet while I have all the network and second excuse it gives is that the software update is currently unavailable. Please help.

Hi Romantilizer,
Hook your phone up to iTunes on the computer you sync with and do your update from there. This is a robust iOS release, and doing it OTA is not always successful. I tried on my iPhone a couple of times, and it aborted the update twice. Did it via the Mac, and it was fine.
It takes a bit of time, so hook it up, make sure it is updating your phone, and then find something else to do for a couple of hours.
Cheers,

How do you do that

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

I bought The New iPad 36 days ago...

I'm just frustrated that I held out for years and waited to buy an iPad. I did, finally and I love it. Absolutely love it. I will say this: when I bought it, I had one concern - the 30-pin dock connector. On my old iPod touch, I had that thing fixed 3 times, so I was skeptical. Apple Genius told me that it had been updated since my touch, and was much more sturdy, so I jumped. Again I love it. I loved the iPad so much, I abandoned Android for an iPhone 5 and fell in love with lightning and immediately said to myself "ok, new ipad comes out in a few months so by then I can decide if it's worth it to trade up for lightning." Well, by a few months, Apple meant a few days, thus making me feel like a *******.
So here I am, owner of an iPad that is 36 days old (64GB +4G Verizon). The one thing I wanted fixed on it when I bought is now fixed on this updated one. Apple, though it makes no sense from a business perspective in terms of making a profit, but please offer your customers (like me) who feel somewhat frustrated. Had I waited a week, I could just return my iPad and wait a month for this one that is considerably better in terms of durability. And think about it: say what you want about lightning, but this hopefully this won't crap out. For me, just jumping into present day Apple, I don't have many cables anyway so I've been buying lightning for my iPhone and if I had waited for an iPad with it, man is that money or what?
Comments? If you have a valid argument against me feeling like a d-bag for spending so much 36 days ago only for a new shiny toy to come out, I'm all ears.
OH! I didn't ask a question: Apple, will you give customers who bought an iPad AND AppleCare or something an opportunity to swap out? I mean, I'd give you like a hundred bucks for that.

This time, apple really screws up customers! I just bought new ipad over 1 and half month ago, and unfortunately, I am not legitimated to exchange. Apple should give at least gift card or refund the money they over-charge the product which is merely 6 month old, now outdated. Apple is a real ****! I was once a loyal customer to apple, now I decided to turn other platform, apple is no longer trust worthy company anymore. They just want the profit, but not the innovation! I really miss you , Steve!

Brand new iphone wont update, stuck in recovery mode

So I just bought a brand new iPhone 5S today, and when I plugged it into iTunes I saw that there was an update for iOS 7.1.2. When I tried to update my phone, iTunes downloaded the update but wouldn't apply it to the phone, instead giving me a "waiting for iPhone" message. After a while I tried reconnecting the phone but iTunes stopped recognizing it and my phone was stuck with the iTunes logo and charger on-screen. I then put my phone in recovery mode - no results. I tried syncing it with another computer, but I can't restore the phone without it also installing 7.1.2, which doesn't work and just gets stuck on "preparing to restore iPhone." Is there anything I can possibly do to make my new phone work again? Did 7.1.2 actually just kill my phone?

Hello rph30,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
First, since your iPhone is not being recognized by iTunes, even though it is in recovery mode, please follow the appropriate link below for the computer you own:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Then ultimately go through the recovery process:

Take care,

My ipad mini is stuck in recovery mode. Help please!

Hello. My ipad mini is stuck in recovery mode. It is not jail broken. I tried fixing it by pressing the home bottom and then connecting it to the cable (which was connected to the computer), just like the apple support says. But it does not work. Help!

Follow step 1 to step 3 very closely.

The other day I did a software update on my iPad 2 in order to complete the download.

When the download completed I had to sign back into iCloud then I got an error 403 message that told me I can't sign in anymore accounts. Can someone please help me resolve this frustrating issue?

I suspect you were trying to create a new icloud account and ran into the max allowed per device. Go to Settings>iCloud; if this is the wrong icloud account your device is signed into, then scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Delete Account. Then sign in using your ID.

TS4268 i cannot activate iMessage on my New iPad with my apple id. It was working until yesterday. Please help

New iPad with iOS 6.
iMessage is not working.
Please help.

It seems a lot of people are having this problem...you can try restarting your device, making sure Date & Time settings are on automatic, or changing your DNS to 8.8.8.8. However, most people posting about this problem have tried everything including data resets, restores, etc. and it doesn't seem to work. It seems to be an issue on Apple's end with the servers...hopefully they can resolve it quickly

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom

I tried updating to the new iOS 6.1, and now my iPod is stuck in Recovery mode.

I've tried DFU mode and Recovery mode, but neither seem to work. It won't update. When I connect the iPod to my computer, it says it has detected an iPod in Recovery mode, and it must be restored before it can be used with iTunes. When I click on the "Restore iPod" button, it downloads the new firmware, and makes me repeat the process. I've already called Apple Support, but they couldn't help, either.
Help me, please.

Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Hi, i backed up my ipad 2 then restored it on my new ipad mini, however not all of my music was transfered! somebody please help me!

says in the title! can somebody help me sooner rather than later please

Icloud does not backup music.It simply gives you access to music you purchased with iTunes.
For non-iTunes media you will need to sync with iTunes.

My new iPod touch 5 doesn't restore, it's stuck on recovery mode.

I connected the ipod to my computer, just to charge it up, and i left the computer alone. I think the itunes was set to actualize it alone to the ios 6.1, but when i came back to get my ipod, it said that there was an error and the ipod couldn't actualize, after that it's stuck on recovery mode. I connected it to the iTunes as the ipod says, and on the resume says the software is actualized but it's stuck on recovery mode, when i try to restore it, the software downloads, but after it's downloaded, it doesn't restore the ipod and it's still the same. Help me, it's been this way for a week, and I'm tired of keep trying with the itunes I will really appreciate the help, thanks.

New Installation - LED stuck in AMBER MODE please help

HI Guys
Hope you well
I am currently supporting an engineer onsite remotely and have come across a strange problem .
I have installed a few controllers but none of them have behaved in this manner.
The model is a WLC 5508-50k9 model wireless controller and software 7.0.98.0
I have seen as per installation guideline that amber means th following
Distribution ports 1-8 Off: Not present.
Green: Indicates SFP port is active and link is established.
Amber: Present with failure
This mean that so coherent fault lies as follows on Layer 1&2 .
The switch port light does not go green either.
We have used both xover and straight but no luck
The controller is using GLC - T to connect to the switch
Any idea guys

But are they CISCO ? Also are you using any transivers anywhere in line to this link ?
