Do I have other options to restoring a "bricked" Apple TV?
With the 6.0 update it bricked our Apple TV. I tried the recorvery mode from my PC through itunes and although it started the process it ended up giving me a message an hour later that said the restore was unsuccessful. I then assumed that the failure was because I had not updated itunes in a couple weeks. So I updated itunes and now itunes will not even recognize the Apple TV to try it again. I've tried doing a full restart on my PC. Tried different sequences of plugging and unplugging USB and power cord (since I have a generation 3) yet cannot even get itunes to recognize the Apple TV is even there. Is my only solution now to take and exchange?
I know of websites online that sell the glass for the display but none that sell the aluminum 'top' of any MBP. You'd have to go to Apple on that I'm afraid. I have no idea what they would charge but I'm guessing that it wouldn't be too expensive unless you want the whole display repaired.
Take it into an Apple Store and get a quote and then shop around with some of the Apple authorized repair centers and see if you can get a better price.
Good luck,
Clinton

I have a new desktop and re-installed my identity from my airtime back up and on the log in page my picture comes up with my usual password hint, but it is not accepting my password and I do not have the option to reset using my apple id - that particular function is in grey and cannot be clicked on
Depending on what kind of computer you have, you're gonna need to put that backup in the appropriate folder or itunes is not gonna be able to see it for you to use.

Any other option besides restore? ipod software not recognized.....
I have an 80gb 5th gen. Using it with my Windows XP it was fine. I recently got a Windows Vista HP laptop and it worked fine until today, when I plugged it in and transfered music, iTunes froze midway. So I unplugged the iPod and iTunes closed. I plugged it in again and the blue screen came up saying there was a memory dump needed and it restarted the PC.
Additionally to crashing my PC, it messed up my iPod software so now I cannot listen to music or videos. The files are still on the iPod when I check through disk mode, but when I use the iPod itself no songs or movies show up. Some of the songs on the iPod when viewed through disk mode are also unrecognized when played through windows media player, a few are fine however but still do not show up on the iPod.
The files are still there when you use disk mode, but when you use the iPod no files show up. When I plug in my iPod to iTunes it says the iPod files are not readable by iTunes and that I must restore my iPod to company settings. Is there any way I can repair my iPod without having to restore it and erase all my music/videos, I have 74GB of media and some things are not on my computer anymore. Is it possible to restore the iPod to an earlier savepoint? I do not know if the iTunes program automatically creates backup points but if there is a way please let me know. I am very very reluctant to restore my iPod to company settings so help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advanceI have exactly the same problem i use a 60 GB video ipod which shows that i tunes cant play content from the ipod when i connect it to any computer after connecting to the HP laptop that had vista on it. so please if someone knows how to fix it without loosing the media from the ipod tell me how to do it! i got 6500 songs on there!

I set up my iPhone to back up to the cloud, it should have backed up overnight while it was plugged in and charging. My bad, I did not check to make sure that it did, as it was the very first time I ever backed up my data to the cloud. I just went and updated my iPhone to iOS7 and went to restore my storage from the cloud, and I saw that it never completed backing up. How can I get my storage back from the cloud now? I see some things still on my phone but not all....
Many thanks in advance!!
DawnHello Dawn
On your iPhone, you can manage the storage that was there for back up by going to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage and tap the backup you would like to delete and then tap Delete Backup. Check out the article below for more information.

Buy new display or do i have other options?
My macbook pro is a bit banged up and i wanna replace the glass on it. However, the aluminum back of the LCD is banged up as well. Can i buy the aluminum backing somewhere else or do i have to replace the whole display?
I know of websites online that sell the glass for the display but none that sell the aluminum 'top' of any MBP. You'd have to go to Apple on that I'm afraid. I have no idea what they would charge but I'm guessing that it wouldn't be too expensive unless you want the whole display repaired.

iPhone 4 went into recovery mode when trying to restore it. Now the only option iTunes allows is for "restore & upgrade", it is not offer an option to restore from a backup, says that must first do the upgrade, when attempting to do the upgrade the iPhone won't accept it.
How can I restore from a back up in recovery mode when the only option is "restore and upgrade"?
Please help.You don't you must restore your phone first and then you will have the option to restore from your backup.

How can I sync my iPad to a computer after syncing it to the iCloud? I have the option of setting it up new, or restoring to a sync from many months ago. I dont want to lose any apps but I would like to back up on computer. No auto sync like other devices.
Plug it into your computer. Tell it to sync with "this computer" instead of iCloud. You shouldn't have to remove any apps. Otherwise, you can save the app data by using i-FunBox ( http://www.i-funbox.com/ ) just go to the "devices" tab and select 'user applications' and select all of your apps and tell iFunBox to "copy to pc" you're done! You have them all backed up.

I have my iPhone 4s backed up on my mac but it seems it was encrypted with a password which i do not remember is there any other option to retrieve to the backup without restoring the device as a new one. Also I do not have access to a windows system.
Sorry no, if you don't knnow the encrypted password, then you can't use that backjup.

my i pod is disabled because i forgot my password, do i have to restore my i pod because i dont want to loose all my files, is there any other options?
Maybe a data recovery company can help. Otherwise you will have to erase the iPod tn order to regain use of the iPod. You can also restore from your last backup. The Disbled is a good security feature.
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
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.
