Considering I've tried everything to get iTunes up...

...and nothing seems to work... Should I call the Best Buy Geek Squad? Do they know anything about fixing iTunes?

I was trying to download TinyUmbrella because some people have said it basically kicks phones out of recovery mode, and I did try that but it hadn't worked, it kept loosing connection with the phone even though it was connected.
I took the phone to the O2 shop and they did something to restore it, so it's working fine finally thanks for replying!

    I have tried everything to get itunes to recognize my ipad.  What do I do?

    Try this, Plug your iPhone back into your computer make sure you exit iTunes, Try going into your device manager and see if your iPhone shows up, if you see it the right click on it and select uninstall. Then restart your computer and watch the system install your iPhone drivers again.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

    Did you try a reset, hold the power button and home button until you see the apple then let go? Did you try to restore as new in iTunes on your computer?

  • I have tried everything to get my iPhone 4S to ring out loud. It will only vibrate.

    I have tried everything to get my iPhone to ring aloud. It will vibrate when someone calls but it will not ring at all. Please help me!! Thanks

    You have gone to Settings > Sounds and the volume is set at a high level, you have selected a Ringtone for the sound, and it still does not ring?  Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if it appears.
    If that does not help, visit an Apple store genius bar and have the iPhone tested to see if there is a hardware failure.

    i bought an Ipad3 from an estate sale for 20 bucks previous owner passed away. i thought i had come upon the deal of a lifetime i felt as though things were looking up but ive tried everything to get passed the icloud activation, is there a chance this is still the find of the year for me or did i waste 20 dollars and fail again?

    You can also use this website to check to see if a device has been erased or if it is still locked. This will not work with using a mobile browser on an iOS device. If you have a browser that can identify as a desktop version, it will work. If not, check it on a computer web browser.
    https://www.icloud.com/activationlock/
    Safari has the ability to identify as a desktop browser, but it's a little bit of a pain to get it to work with this website. You tap in the url filed, then pull down on the favorites window that pops up to reveal "Request Desktop Site".

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • TS3274 The sound on my ipad 2 is not working.  I have a Logitech Keyboard case that I use with my ipad 2.  Last night, the sound quit working.  I've tried everything to get the sound back - still no sound.  HELP!! Please?

    Trying to get the sound working again on my ipad 2.  I have a Logitech keyboard case I use with my ipad 2.  Last night the sound quit but I don't know why.  I've tried everything and can't get the sound back again.  Help!

    HI there,
    There are a couple things you can try. The first thing I would recommend is resetting all settings by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. If that doesn't work, take a look at the article below for additional troubleshooting steps.
    Note: The article title impies that it is for iPhones, but the troubleshooting steps are still aplicable to iPads.

  • My iphone 4 (ios 6.1.3) cant recive ore make calls network is ok....i tried everything restore from itunes mode plane on off removing sim restoring network...

    My iphone 4 (ios 6.1.3) cant recive ore make calls ...network is ok is full...i tried everything restore many times from itunes....mode plane on off ....removing sim ...restoring network...hard reset..(call waiting is off and i can't do it on)

    The OP is correct, I have done many tests.  With IOS6 there appears to be a dns issue in some cases with IOS for both ipad(2) at lease (my wife won't let me upgrade here v1) and the iPhone4s in my case.  Pretty easy to diagonse, I wish Apple would fix it.
    1.) I use a Juniper 5GT wireless firewall and all of my other devices (many apple, ipad, MBP, iMAC,3 ipods etc) are fine: Not ipad2 or iphone4s running IOS6
    2.) after upgrade nothing worked.  narrowed it down by messing with dns (I have my own dns server)
    3.) Strange thing; dns works over MiFI (Verizon) and Carrier
    4.) confirmed that it is a dns and not network issue.
    -down load free tool called ping-scope-lite.   (obviously you need to turn off wifi to do this)
      http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ping-scope-lite/id431500107?mt=8
    turn on wifi
    - ping Level3 dns server 4.2.2.2 or Googlesdns servers 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 these worked.
    -now ping by name google.com or ipchicken.com
       - try others; same result.
    Apple did say that they would give me another iphone 4s: I just wasn't sure that would fix my issue.  I tried downgrading to 5.1.1 but I got an error saying my device wasn't able to do so (tried even blocking itunes from contacting Apple)  I whis this could be fixed.  I did even have it working using my own dns server but now I can see that my phone over wifi isn't even trying to make a dns request now.

  • Tried EVERYTHING, cannot download iTunes

    I was unable to sync my iPhone because my iTunes wasn't up-to-date.  I tried to update, but could not.  I ended up following Apple support instructions to uninstall iTunes and reinstall it.  I am unable to reinstall iTunes.  I go to the page, click download now, the page refreshes to a thank you for downloading page, but nothing has actually downloaded.  I have followed every support instruction I have found online -- deleting temporary files, starting a second administrator account, running an msconfig, start by downloading Quicktime, but NOTHING works.  I have tried downloading iTunes both with and without an email address and in both Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.  Any suggestions as to how to get iTunes?

    Perhaps try downloading and saving a copy of the installer to a different PC. (If you're on a 32-bit Windows system, try to download on a different 32-bit Windows system.) Copy the iTunesSetup.exe installer to an external hard-drive, or a large-enough thumb drive or burn it to a CD-R. Carry the installer back to your PC, copy the installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install from the ExHD, thumb or CD-R.) Start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file.

  • My second creative cloud only lets me use trials. I have tried everything to get it to allow me to use it on both like it should. Please help

    I have creative cloud on my lap top but downloaded the second on my desktop. It is only allowing me to use the trial of After effects and I have tried everything and it still won't let me. It keeps asking for a serial number.
