HT1454 Can not get video out from my ipod touch 3rd gen. Any ideas? It should nt be diffiicult to do this on the 21 st century, or not?

After having spent EUR 130 on cables from apple, i still can not get video out from my ipod touch 3rd gen. Any ideas? It should nt be diffiicult to do this on the 21 st century, or not?

Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media. You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else. As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC. Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.

IPhone, can not get it out of Auto-lock

On occasions once my 3g Iphone has gone into autolock I am unable to use the phone again. I can not get it out of auto lock, I have tried restarting but it maskes no difference.
I often have to ring it from another phone to bring the Iphone back to life, which is rather annoying and I am not always by another avaliable phone.
Does anyone else have this problem, or know how to fix this? Thanks

Have you tried reset (page 34 of the manual)?
Restore - page 141?

HT201210 can not get iphone4s out of recovery mode. it keeps saying an unknown error occurred.

I installed the latest upgrade on my Iphone4s now it wont turn on, and will not work. the screen on my phone show a picture of a plug, i plug into the computer, itunes comes up and it says phone is in recovery zone. then it says an error has occurred. i just want to get my phone to turn back on and work, can anyone help or have any suggetions of what to do. The people working in our local AT&T store are so unhelpful and lazy!

That usually indicates a hardware failure. If you can return it and get your money back, do so. Otherwise, make an appointment at the genius bar and get the phone replaced or buy a new one.

Can not get disc out of drive

I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on my 2.66 GHz i7 MBP and I put a disk in the drive and it never showed up on the desktop and I am unable to eject it. I tried rebooting though it still does not show up and when I hit the eject button nothing happens.
What can I do?
Thanks!

Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
/usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

Have new MacBook pro tried to install windows 7 failed cant get DVD out of drive

Tried to install windows 7 using boot camp message said can't install on any of the partitions can't get DVD out to restore eject button doesn't have any effect is there a key combination to eject dvd

First try the normal methods to remove the disc. Drag its icon to the Trash can in the Dock or select 'Eject' from the File menu.
If you are running a virtual machine, e.g. VMFusion, ensure that the CD is disconnected from the virtual machine. This will sometimes allow the CD to now show up in Mac OS X.
Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared.
If you have Toast Titanium installed on your computer, choose EJECT DISC from the menubar.
Sometimes you can successfully use the eject disc button in iTunes even if the disc is not visible to the Finder
Open Disk Utility and choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button.
Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism.
Open Terminal and type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray.
Restart the computer while holding down Command-Option-O-F, to enter the Open Firmware prompt. Type "eject cd" without the quotes, and press return. The disk ought to eject. To start into OS X, type "mac-boot" without the quotes. Press return, and the computer will continue with the startup. (This will not work on an Intel Mac. There is no Open Firmware on Intel Macs. )
If your computer has an eject button on the keyboard, restart the computer holding down the Option key. When the startup disk selection screen appears, let go of the option key and press the keyboard's eject button.

I have a DVD stock in my Imact and the finder does not recognice it. How can I get it out?

Hold down the mouse button when shutting down, If that doesn't work, try holding the Mac sideways and shaking gently, then if you see the edge of the disc, use tweezers to pull it out.

I have an iMac model 4,1 running OSX 10.6.8.   The CD/DVD drive went bad and I have replaced it. However I can not get disks to eject.   I have asked about this before and tried all all the suggestions I have received but I can not eject.

Yesterday I opened up the iMac and reinstalled the drive to make sure that it was not an alignment problem.   I still can not eject.   When I try to eject the drive makes noises like it is ejecting but the disk does not come out.
How do I solve this problem?

Hi again Hal
Link to your other thread > The slot loading CD/DVD drive in my...: Apple Support Communities
You have also tried resetting the PRAM as I suggestion in your other thread...?
See resetting the PRAM > About NVRAM and PRAM
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.

Can not get on line with new notebook

can not get on line. *we have verizon, *bought new router to see if that was problem. *bought airport express to see if that would help, *my son, bs in computer security, has spent days starting over redoing, *we used his dell notebook to go to apple site (what's wrong with that picture?) it did work for awhile, wanted me to start time machine, but would go on line thru safari? says ethernet cables not connected - he tried 2 different ones. i'm at the point of taking this piece of #$@% back to best buy.

Whoa, slow down. It's hard to understand exactly what's going on when you've explained your issue so unclearly.
Please describe exactly what network setup you have at the moment - you have Verizon DSL? What router are you using, are you wired or wireless, how is the Macbook connected to the network, how are your other computer(s) connected to the network? Let's take it step by step and I'm sure we can find out what's going on.

Can not get out of screensaver

Thanks!

Hi Johan1974,
Here are a few more details:
Open Device Manager by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Device Manager.‌ Administrator permission required If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
      In the list of device categories, expand Mice and other pointing devices.
      Right-click the entry for your mouse, and then click Properties.
      In the Mouse Properties dialog box, click the Power Management tab, check the Allow this device to wake the computer check box, and then click OK.
There are some screenshots here although the instructions are to remove the check because it is advising how to disable it. You will be doing the opposite.:

Hi there morinallen,
Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here to ensure there are no software conflicts:

It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!
