Driver issues with all apple devices

I bought my pc with windows 8. I downloaded itunes and everything worked perfectly! I did a system reset which deleted itunes and without reinstalling itunes, i updated my computer to windows 8.1. I then tried installing itunes and everything seemed like it was working fine until I plugged in my ipod and my iphone. Windows cannot install the drivers that itunes gives it and it gives an "error code 1, this device is not congifured correctly". I know the devices are fine because they work on all others computers. When I plug in my devices, they do not charge at all and windows does not read them either as well as itunes. I have tried every troubleshooter which included uninstall itunes, applemobiledevice, bonjour, etc... And I manually searched my whole computer for itunes hidden files which I deleted. I manually selected the driver but clicking properties on my ipod and pressing "update driver". I called apple and spent an hour and 15 minutes talking with them and they could not fix the issue. They tried every thing they could find off apples website and troublshooters. We eventually came to the conclusion that it is a windows issue and that I should contact windows about this problem. I started talking to windows support and as soon as I said the "error code 1", he said that he could fix it... if I payed for there premium support!! **** that! I have now been trying everything and my last option after posting this is to do a full system restore which I definently do not want to do. Please help me!! BTW, none of helpers or troubleshooters from apples website fixed this! Such as checking for software conflicts and uninstalling in a specific order i have done it all! I appreciate anyone that responds! thank you!

Great support here folks

IPhone 5 Wifi Hotspot - Issue with Non Apple Devices

Hi !
I have iPhone 5 and a Working LTE connection , My Carrier officially supports data tethering. Previously i could turn on Personal Hotspot and use internet in my card with other Non-Apple Devices such as GPS , Samsung devices etc.
But recently i noticed after update to 7.1.2 . I can turn on Hotspot
1- Apple Devices can connect to Hotspot such as Mac Book Pro , IPhone and iPad.
2- Windows Laptop can use Internet Using USB Cable connected with iPhone but can not connect through Wifi.
3- All other Non-Apple Devices ( such as Lumia 1520 , Samsung Galaxy S5 ) Can not Connect to Wifi Hotsopt.
Is there any specific restriction or policy which is preventing this.
I have tried , Reset All Settings , Reset Network Settings. but it does not work.

Hi dumbcode,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
You sound very familiar with Personal Hotspot and have already done some good troubleshooting. In your situation I suggest going through the Wi-Fi trouble shooting section of the attached article.

Nano ver 6 doesn't show up even after reinstalling iTunes which had to be done because of problems with all Apple devices after trying to update iTunes via a message from Apple.

Nano ver 5/6 doesn't show up in iTunes even after having to reinstall iTunes because of problems with trying to update iTunes after receiving message from Apple that an update was available. Other Apple products are showing up.

Hello Bill,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPod nano. I recommend reviewing this article for steps to take when your iPod is not recognized in iTunes:

Try quitting Pages on the iPad, restart the iPad - and then see if the app works OK.
To quit Pages - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

My Ipad 2 external speakers does not work and headphones has popping sound. This all occured at the same time as my Iphone and Ipod headphones only played mono (no, the "mono" option is not on). How can there be audio issue for all these devices?

My IPad 2 external speaker does not work and the original headphones have popping sound when used. This all occurred at the same time as my IPhone and IPod headphones only plays mono (and no, the "mono" option is not on) with the original headphones, as well as, other headphones tested. How can there be audio issue for all these devices at the same time?
As you may have noted from the list of Apple devices I own, I believed in the Apple and the products it was producing; but it is hard to believe from my experience and the other voices within the Apple Community that we are all experiencing the same hardware issues. Especially since I recently, I upgraded to an IPhone 4g (no, my faith in IPhone 5 series is very little) and is experiencing the same audio problem as described above. So now, I am off to the Apple store again to be told that it’s a hardware problem on new IPhone. Really? Apple, what happen to the pride in the product you were producing?

Everyone does things a little differently. I love to "jam " along with iTunes ( or old Lp's) . Always have. That's where/how I've learned to play .
I'm sure leonieDF is giving a proper way to jam along on a keyboard with an iTune. He blows my mind all the time with what he knows. Nuff respects to him !
What I do is make a GB project I call "Jam With". I'll make several new tracks that are blank. Just has a few instruments named in the blank tracks. You can change those per song ...
Because I'm not concerned about changing the pitch / key.... of the iTune or the tempo ... I can simply play along with it.
Peace,

Youtube and Safari Issues on iPad/Apple devices.

For the last few days I have had a problem with all my apple devices. For some reason Youtube videos will not play, I keep getting the message "This video is currently unavailable" when I try to play any video. This only happens on Youtube through Safari, the app on my 3gs works fine but the app is not for iPad. Another problem that I get only on my iPad is that Safari is acting all weird. When I try to click on a link nothing happens and when I press the back button it goes back 2 or more pages instead of the previous page like its supposed to. Steps I've tried to resolve the problem:
Force close the apps.
Force restart the iPad/All apple devices.
Reset all settings.
Restore iPad through iTunes.
None of the above steps have worked for me and I just don't know what to do. This only happens through wifi but I am certain their is nothing wrong with my wifi as my android devices and my laptop/desktop computer work fine when trying to view youtube videos. As I mentioned this is happening on all Apple devices which include:
iPad 2
iPhone 3gs
iPhone 5
iPod touch 4th gen.
The weird safari issue is only occurring on my iPad.
Any help resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Audio driver issue with my HP Compaq DC7800 Convertible Minitower

Hello,
I am having an Audio driver issue with my HP Compaq DC7800 Convertible Minitower desktop PC.
A few days ago I have formatted my desktop PC and installed a new Windows XP Service pack 3. As I needed driver for my device I have managed to find all drivers except the one for my audio device. As I saw I have integrated audio on my motherboard, but drivers that I have found on a support site of HP (drivers download) none of them work and there are too many (I have also needed to download drivers for other devices form intel site but this is another issue). So, now I was hoping that someone can help me to find (finally) and install audio device so I can finish with installation process. I would be veeeeeerrrry thankful for that Thanks in advance.
This question was solved.

It does not matter . I have found the driver that I needed: ADI High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver - Sound Max
thx anyway

How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas

How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

Are you watching this content though iCloud or though from iTunes on your local computer? If it is from iCloud have you tried downloading the content to iTunes and watching it on ATV from that source to see if it still happens? This is geerally a much more reliable way to view the content. Easer to fast forward and rewind too.
- I have a stable internet connection
Clearlly you don't
>(Ive tested on other devices)
Which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
>I am able to stream Netflix problem free from my AppleTV without so much as a hicup
Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
>- I am able to download the episodes to my phone, ipad, and computer without any issues
Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud. It does remove your ISP throattly traffice as a possible cause though. So that is good.
Have you checked your wireless rounter? Tried doing the factory restor on it? Upgrading it's firmware? Is it and or ATV getting extreamly hot when this problme happens?

Try resetting your phone by holding down the home and off button until the apple symbol comes up. Then if still doing, restore your phone in itunes from your backup.

Am I correct in assuming that Messages cannot communicate with non-Apple devices?

Am I correct in assuming that Messages cannot communicate with non-Apple devices from laptops and or desktop apple devices? From iPhone there seems to be no barriers to this using Messages.

I wonder if Mt. Lion will include texting to "other" devices. For there to be true continuity across platforms this needs to happen.
Right now I am having an interesting thing happen - even messaging with another Mac User I am getting the red ! on all my messages sent from my mac. Yet he is gitting them. I am assuming this is some kind of beta thing.

Issues with updating Apple apps with app store

I have begun to have issues with (all?) Apple apps and App store. including not updating after download, and repeat downloading. Two examples:
I had Pages 5.0.1. 3 days ago I used the app store to download Pages 5.1. This downloaded OK (watched the volume of data on Net Monitor). Although my Pages works OK it remains on 5.0.1, although the App Store shows that 5.1 has been “installed in the last 30 days”, and does not offer any further update. Same scenario for Numbers 3.0.1 and 3.1.
on the other hand
Keynote, iMovie and iPhoto won’t even open at all now, if I try to open them I am directed immediately to Apple sign-in in the App Store. Keynote and iMovie show updates available, but not iPhoto. I signed in when I tried just now opening iPhoto, and it immediately starting downloading the software again. I think my iPhoto was 9.5.1, downloaded in December and working fine since then.
I have access only to limited slow expensive broadband. This is taking my whole monthly allowance.
Is there some updating controlling software or file on the HD that could be corrupted?
Any ideas?
Thanks

Have been to Library, and looked in Receipts/InstallHistory.plist
This plist confirms that on 27 Jan App Store downloaded Pages version 5.0.1 again (actually for the third time it appears), although it was supposed to be downloading version 5.1. My App Store/Updates page says version 5.1 was installed (which it isn’t). Same issue for Numbers.
The plist also confirms that the App Store forced me to download the same version of iPhoto in December and Today.
Keynote and iMovie (not one of the iWork) won't open until I download again, but do not have the internet capacity to redownload these large files again and again.
So far iTunes, Aperture and iBook do not seem to be affected. By the way have done simple things like restart, repair permissions etc...
Are there some files/applications that control the downloading of new versions that might be malfunctioning?

Has anyone else been having hard drive issues with 13" MacBook Pro barely a year old?

Has anyone else been having hard drive issues with 13" MacBook Pro barely a year old?

Yes, BUT...
... there are many problems that are really easy to eliminate by replacing the Hard drive, including ones that have nothing to do with actual Drive Hardware failure. These include corrupted install of Mac OS X, its EFI partition, clobbered partition tables, or the appearance of Bad Blocks in a critical area.
Any of these problems can sometimes be eliminated by re-initializing the entire drive and writing Zeroes, and re-installing from scratch. The trouble is, this process takes hours to complete, and is not guaranteed to be successful -- you may still need a new drive after all that effort.
I learned from my Plumber that consumers have no appetite for solutions that might work, and detest return visits for any related problems whatsoever. You or your friend may have had your drive replaced, not because it actually failed, but because the situation was troublesome, and the provider thought you would not tolerate anything less than a crisp, complete fix on the first attempt. And based on the cost of technician time, it may have even been cheaper that way.

Are all Apple devices chargers the same, or do iPads use different chargers

Are all Apple devices use the same chargers iPhone4, iPhone5s and iPad3 and 4 with retina the same?

Hi Ralph Landry1
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
The iPad use a 12W USB Power Adaptor.
Where as the iPhones use a 5W USB Power Adaptor.
The iPod Touches use either a 5W USB Power Adaptor or they can run off a iPod USB Power Adaptor.
The difference in the Watts can be found in the bottom of the adaptor (it will say 5W, 12W or iPod)
All iPhones and iPods can run off the 5W or iPod Adaptor.
However for the iPad to be sufficiently charged in needs the 12W charger (hence sometime when plugged into a computer it will say 'iPad is not charging') The iPad needs the 12W to charge - this takes 5hrs otherwise.
The iPad charger is here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD836LL/A/apple-12w-usb-power-adapter?fnode=3c
The iPhone charger is here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD810LL/A/apple-5w-usb-power-adapter?fnode=48
Apple no longer sells the iPod USB Power adaptor and as such the iPods now just run off the 5W charger here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD810LL/A/apple-5w-usb-power-adapter?fnode=74
The chargers have changed shape over the years yet the old ones will still do the same job.
Many Thanks and Enjoy charging!
