Cannot get past the 'find my...' advert to reach the sync screen
Hey all,
This is the first time I have posted so apologies if its in the completely wrong place, or my issue is very stupid and easy to fix.
I connect my ipad to the computer and when itunes brings up the device down the left hand column, it attempts to bring up an advert for the 'find my iphone' application. I have seen this come up on someone else's computer and it has images and large tabs to click, however my advert appears unformatted with text all bunched together and a plain background. I can also not click the links, when i do nothing happens.
The advert is not displaying correctly but i have no idea how to get past it to the sync screen as i cant click to get rid of it!
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help

I highly suggest you download and install Find My IPad. It is free and helps you find, erase, lock your iPad if needed.
Have you tried simply pressing Return to get past the screen?
Also, try this...
Quit iTunes.
Go into Control Panel, Add/Remove programs, select QuickTime then Repair it.
Spanky,
Also, please don't say advert. Use Ad or advertisement because using words like advert make it harder to understand what you're talking about
Really? Perhaps it is difficult for you to understand but for millions and millions of others (literally), especially in Europe (poster is from UK) "advert" is a perfectly acceptable and standard abbreviation/colloquialism of "advertisement".
Many people from many different geographical areas post here. If you don't understand what is posted, just ask for clarification.

I have an older iMac G5 running OS 10.4.11. The other day I started playing with a bluetooth speaker (may or may not be related). Now I cannot get past the blue screen on startup.
I can get into safe mode. But no regular startup.
I tried disabling bluetooth, thinking that might be related. It didn't help.
I even tried using the install disc to run disc utility. That didn't work so I reloaded the OS.
But I still get hung on the blue screen when trying a normal startup.
All help would be appreciated.Try resetting the PMU/SMU and PRAM/NVRAM. You'd need to identify the mode of resetting depending on the model of your G5 iMac. The Apple support sites that would help you for this are –

HT4718 I cannot get past the restore screen
So, big problem. I have had to replace my logic board. Following this, using Mountain Lion, my mac was unusable, just beach ball on every click. I did restore Mountain Lion, but no change. I cannot restore from time machine as I get an error message saying restart. Now, I cannot get past the restore screen, no matter what keys are held at startup. If I hold the option key at startup, I get the recovery disk and back up showing, neither of which can be used.
In short, I'm stuck, any help appreciated!If you successfully restored the iPod to factory settings/new iPod (went through all the steps without errors), then time for an appointment a the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I cannot get past the password screen
I cannot get past the password screen, I've tried resetting it but it tells. Me I'm not an allowed user
If the old Macbook(?) has Snow Leopard 10.6 installed, and you have that retail install disc or the system disc of the current (base level) system on it, you could use the installer disc as a boot volume and use the utilities on the booted install disc to reset the password. It should be a menu option in the booted Install disc, way short of any effort to re-install anything. And if your computer can do this, the same DVD has Disk Utility, to check/repair the Mac HDD.
What OS X version do you have, & what MacBook, etc is that?
Good luck & happy computing! -
Another iBook cannot get past the grey screen with spinning gear
I have read the other posts on iBooks not starting up. I too have used Onyx recently but this was to cure the problem of a freeze. Now start up cannot get past the grey screen. PRAM has been zapped and safe mode will not work. Worse, the CD drive will take CDs so cannot go back to start up disk.
Bizarrely, a visit to the Apple Store and the iBook started no problem. System was reinstalled using archive option and various health checks apparently showed no problems. But then got back home and again start up froze at grey screen with spinning gear. I have left it on this for over 15 minutes but to no avail. I have tried to connect to another ibook using T key to get target mode. I'm not sure if I am doing this right. I have started up working iBook plugged in the firewire to both machines and then started up ailing iBook holding down T key. 2nd iBook wont start at all.
Any suggestions?An Archive and Install will preserve you user settings and data. You will need a minimum of 5 GB free on the hard drive to perform an A&I; you can reduce the space required by about 1 GB by selecting the option to install language support only for the language you use (assuming you don't need multiple languages).
However, after seeing your other post (BTW, it'll be easier to keep track if relted issues are in the same thread), you do not want to try an A&I if Disk Utility is reporting anything about 'could not be repaired'. Doing so will would ensure problems down the road, if it worked at all. It's possible for one disk problem to mask another. Whenever Disk Utility (or any other repair utility) reports making repairs, it's good practice to repeat the repair until it reports no problems found or it becomes clear it cannot repair the disk.
DiskWarrior has an excellent track record at repairing problems that Disk Utility cannot (especially Disk Utility versions prior to OS X 10.4.2).
If the drive cannot be repaired, you may be able to keep it by doing an erase install with the write zeros (one pass) option. That will update the hard drive firmware record of bad disk sectors to avoid using. If there are only a few bad sectors, that may let you keep using the hard drive for several more years. An erase install will do just that to your data, through. If you have access to another Mac with either a large amount of free disk space of a DVD burner, you can try using the other Mac as host and the eMac as target in FireWire target disk mode. You can run the host's copy of Disk Utility on the eMac hard drive, and hopefully be able to mount the emac HD so that you can back up the data in your Home directory. -
I am trying to log on to an old laptop and I cannot get past the password screen - I'm using the password I always used and it is not working. Even the clue doesn't help. Is there anything I can do. The last time it was turned on the apple staff transferred data to my new laptop. Help

I believe my facetime on my imac is corrupted. When I open the programme I get the screen which indicates "preference" and that the toggle shows the programme is off. If I toggle it on, facetime does not turn on but shows that it is trying to load(don't know if that is the right term). Is it possible to reload the programme?
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.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Happy Thanksgiving. Any ideas on how to sync up a brand new man mini with a wireless keyboard. My attempts at following the directions have been frustated so far. Entering the numerical code has not yet led to a successful sync up.
Alright, very good.

I am unable to access settings or passcode locks or even self destruct which is looking quite appealing.
IOS7 update leaves my Ipad2 asking for a passcode which I have never used.
AaarrgghhI was hoping that some bigwig who decided to throw this update into the mix might have figured out what happened.
I started at 0000 , 1234, 3333 ,9999 nothing except this Ipad is disabled.
............ a bit like IOS7! -
I cannot get past the initial screen on my new iMac. Data was transferred from my old computer so when I turned it on It automatically had my name in the window and asked for the password, but none of my old passwords seem to be accepted. How can I fix this?? It's a new IMac with osx.
Which password isn't working? The one to access the iPad or the one to get your hotmail?
If hot mail, you go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars and edit your hot mail account. Of if it won't edit, delete it off the iPad, then re-add it with the new password. -

Trying to update iPhone. Cannot get past the point where I accept iCloud conditions etc. There is no way to continue. What can I do. I can´t use my phone
When registering the phone, you should be able to choose later or basically not now at the upper right hand side. Most of what I think it will at least have you do is sign into your Apple ID but thats it.
