Does ANYONE know what to do with the iTunes problem, it was working OK 2 weeks ago now has an error and wont open? getting so frustrated!!!

Heeeelp!!!!!!

Have latest version of iTunes installed and running. Also make sure you have internet access working and can access Apple websites. Also, make sure you don't have any entries in your hosts file referring to gs.apple.com....If your not sure about how to do that, go ahead and do the rest first. You can come back to that later.....Plug in phone. Put phone in DFU mode.(google put iphone in DFU mode for instructions) Then restore the phone in iTunes by highliting your device in the left column and click on the Restore button. The latest iOS version is 4.3.3. That's what iTunes will restore it to. When it's done restoring, iTunes will ask if you want to restore from a backup or setup as a new phone. I would use the Setup as a New Phone option. Once it's done, you should have a clean install of the iOS and an operating phone, as long as there are no hardware issues with it.

  • Does anyone know what's up with the iPhone 4s' battery life? Some days it last a long time and other days it drains extremely fast.

    Does anyone know what's up with the iPhone 4s' battery life? Some days it last a long time and other days it drains extremely fast.

    Not to point out the obvious, but battery life depends very much on what is running and how much the device is being used.
    If the battery lasts longer on a day you make no phone calls, but lasts less the day you make 5 hour long calls, this is to be expected.
    If however the iPhone has the same level of use on both days, with different power consumption, this would infer a background process (or App) is trying to do something (connecting to server or creating a back up etc).
    I switched off all thrid party apps from being included in my iCloud backup, which saves a huge amount of space on the cloud and allows the back up to take barely a couple of minutes.
    Battery life seems ok so far on my 64GB 4S (Bluetooth on, Wi-Fi on, Location Services on, Push notifications on, Screen set to just under half brightness with Auto Adjust on)

  • TS1372 does anybody know what is wrong with the ipod when error 1437 is reported during the restore mode?

    does anybody know what is wrong with the ipod when error 1437 is reportedduring the restore cycle?

    Double check the connections on each end to make sure they are nice and snug. If possible, plug the Nano into another existing USB 2.0 port. 
    Also, with the iPod still connected, try resetting it. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons (or the Volume Down and Sleep/Wake buttons on the 6G Nano) long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Then try restoring the iPod again.

  • Does anyone know what to do with ICloud?

    I'm totally frustrated and confused. I've seen this question asked but no real answers.  So here goes again.  Has anyone or does anyone know how to get I cloud to work for seperate people's device who have a iTunes account together.  Me and my wife have same apple account but we don't want everything synced on both phones and we want to use the feature.  It makes no sense at all.

  • Does anyone know what is wrong with iTunes today (4/16/13) ?

    I keep getting an error message stating that something is wrong with the iTunes network.  Anyone else getting that error?

    Look at the threads....dozens of people here are experiencing it. SO whatever it is it's cross platforms and versions of the operating systems.
    Waiting it out seems to be all folks can do.

  • Does anyone know what's wrong with my ipod?

    Hi, I have a 3rd generation 20Gb ipod that's almost 3 yrs old. Recently the battery life became so bad it would play less than 1 song before dying from full charge, so I bought a new super-life battery from Maplins and replaced the battery. It was a very fiddly job, but their were 2 of us doing it and I don't think we did anything wrong during the process.
    Since replacing the battery, my ipod has a great battery life and the first 2 times I used it, it was perfect. Then it started acting very bizarrely. If left unconnected for a few hours, it would restore itself to factory settings, wiping its hard drive. Then on connecting to the computer it would perform a very long-winded check (with an icon appearing on the screen like a CD being examined with a magnifying glass), before I could put the music on again. It did this every time I used it, which was annoying, but I could at least use it in short bursts.
    Now however, it will not work at all. Every time I connect it to the computer it does its checking and then either the ipod, the computer, or both will crash. On restarting both, it does the same again. If I start the ipod in disk mode, it appears in itunes and everything, and I can add music, but it just wipes itself again when I put it back to normal ipod mode. I've tried the 5 Rs and all have failed (although my software update didn't work too well, I'm not sure if it actually did it 'coz the software update prog kept crashing).
    Basically, can anyone shed any light on what this fault is and how to fix it? Is it a problem with the ipod or something I did to it while changing the battery?
    Thanks!

    A. Diagnostic mode solution
    If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
    You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
    Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
    iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
    The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
    iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
    You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
    Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.

  • Does anyone know what to do about the printer (MP280 and Microsoft) making colors weird and fuzzy??

    2. Load a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper in the Rear Tray.
    3. Open the Paper Output Tray gently, and open the Output Tray Extension.
    4. Print the nozzle check pattern.
    (1) Press the  (Maintenance) button repeatedly until A appears.
    (2) Press the Black or Color button.
    The nozzle check pattern will be printed.
    The nozzle check should look like this:
    Also, is the color cartridge a new cartridge?  If not, roughly how many pages have you printed on the current cartridge?

  • Does anyone know what is wrong with flash games?

    Whenever I try to load a flash game on any website, it comes up fine. However, when I simply click on a button, it freezes both Firefox and the flash script. I just downloaded FF v3.6.10 and updated Adobe Flash player. It was fine before the 3.6.10 update.
    Everything else seems to be fine though...

    Safe mode did not help. In fact, it made Firefox freeze for longer than in normal mode.. I am also using the default theme..
    When I run the Firefox safe mode, it does not come up with the safe mode dialog box like it says in the FAQ.
    Edit: Actually, Java was the problem. To fix, go to start> All Programs> Accessories> System Tools> System Restore, and pick the date that you installed Java. That might help anyone who has this problem.

  • I bought an iPad in the USA and registered it in Sweden  now back in USA and I can't use an iTunes card on my iPad because it not registered in USA . Does anyone know how I can use the iTunes card ?

    I need help using an iTunes card on my iPad purchased when I was in the USA and registered it at home in Sweden.  Now I am back in USA and the iPad says iTunes card won't work on a foreign iPad. Is there a way to use this iTunes card?
    Thanks

    What store are you trying to purchase in? If its a U.S. card - you have to use it in the U.S. store.
    Go to Settings>General>International>Region Format>United States. Then go to Settings>Store>Tap your Apple ID. Tap View Apple ID. Enter your password. Go to country/region and make sure that you are in the U.S. store in there.

  • Does anyone know what to do after the IOS 5 update when it wont sync your music or apps or even register with itunes saying device is not connected/ the required file is not found?

    My iphone after the update to IOS 5 (which i had problems updating first anyway) wont even register with itunes saying its still half way through a restore when its not i have already restored it 4 times but still wont sync music or apps or finish restoring my phone because it always comes up device is not connected or the required file is not found?
    Any ideas?? ive gone the 02 shop and they just said to keep trying to restore it but its really not solving anything.

    Unfortunately yes, though technology would never move on if it kept to older standards and did not strive to do more.
    The app store always gives you the option to use a previous version of the app IF it is available for your device.
    Sorry but you are stuck without new hardware.

  • Does anyone know what to do if the iMac will not accept cd's or dvd's

    I recently went on a trip and decided it was a good idea to shut down my imac and take out any dvd's i had inserted (which was the sims 3) i came back home and restarted my computer and everything seemed to be working fine.  i wanted to re insert the game but the computer isnt even attempting to take the dvd.  nothing is inserted at the moment and i have restarted, and shut down the imac.  i did notice our power had gone out while i was away, but i didnt think that was an issue.  i have also tried inserting a few different types of cd's and dvd's just to make sure it wasnt the game i had wanted to put back in. no cd's or dvd's would insert though,  if anyone can help that would be great!

    Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC; then, try again.

  • Does anyone know what to do if the Ellipsis 7 is stuck on a welcome screen?

    My Eliipsis 7 is stuck on a welcome screen (not the Verizon Wireless Welcome Screen) and will not start or shut down.  I tried resetting by using a paperclip, but nothing happens. I also can't figure out how to open the thing up to remove the battery.  What can I do?
