I now have the pallete on the right side of my screen. But, I am unable to change the color of the brush. I move the eye dropper over red and click on it. A panel comes saying 'Pure Red', I click ok but the brush color does not change.

hold the "home button" as you are putting it in the cradle or connecting it. That should bring up a "phone is in restoration mode" screen and you can go from there.

Okay, doing my best to ignore the EXTREMELY annoying font you chose to use.
Is there a reason why you did not create a backup of your media and other important files before switching from Vista?
It is the users responsibility to back up their media, it is NOT Apple's responsibility.
When you purchase CD's or DVD's, if you lose them, you repurchase them. Same deal with digital media.
If you have a backup of your media, simply copy the files from the backup to your computer.
If you still have access to your old computer, simply copy the files from it to your new computer.

Got iTunes match, synced up music from laptop to phone, headed out listening to playlist, all of a sudden, mid-song, music stopped and all music was gone and needed to be re-downloaded

Ok, so I initially bought the cloud mainly in the hopes that I could store all of my music on it and have access to it on my phone, which ended up not being the case. Fine. So I man up and get iTunes match, sync everything up between my laptop and my phone, make a playlist and head out listening to it. All of a sudden while I'm out, mid-song, the music stops. I go to see what's going on and everything is gone and has the icon to download next to it, and now I'm away from my wifi to boot, so charges apply. I don't understand. Now I have iCloud on my phone with 25 GB Total Storage and 25 GB Available because I don't understand what I should be using it for and iTunes match which, what, only works when I'm within spitting distance of my laptop? I've tried to get everything sorted out, paying a fee each time, and hitting roadblocks every step of the way; and on top of it, my phone is constantly telling me it can't do this or that because I don't have enough storage?? I realize I'm a bit of a noob, but c'mon, it shouldn't be this complicated or difficult, should it?

If you have no network access (3G, Wi Fi) you cannot stream music from the cloud. Period.The way you stop the behavior is to enable 3G, or pre-download the tracks you think you will want to listen to.

IPhone reset and everything is gone!

Okay, so i was using the facebook application and my iPhone freaked out and froze. so i reset it and it said that i needed to connect it with iTunes. so i did, and it then told me i has to restore my phone to its original settings. So now m contacts are all gone. How do i get them back?

Have you not been syncing your phone. Contacts are supposed to sync with your address book (or online service if you set one up like Mobile Me or Google).
If you haven't been syncing your contacts anywhere, then sorry.
If you have, then tell iTunes to sync your contacts with that address book.

I made my Apple ID questions when I was in 5th grade, and I can not remember them, my emergency email was deleted, and my birth date wont work, I am freaking out! How do I get my ID questions?

I wrote my apple ID questions in 5th grade, and am in 9th now, so I can notremember them. my emergency email with the info was deleted, so I can not change them, and for some reason, my birht date will not go through, so I must have put the wrong thing in 5th grade, and I am freaking out! What do I do?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

Everything is gone off my hard drive

I got home tonight from being gone for a couple of days. My iMac was off (although I left it sleeping), and when I turned it on, it looked like it did the very first time I plugged it in. There is nothing of mine on the hard drive. No pictures folder, no documents folder, no photos in iPhoto. I don't know what happened, but I really really need to find everything that was on my hard drive, and I'm freaking out a little bit. When I opened Mail, it acted like I was using it for the first time. It's like it's a brand new machine. Please help me!

The operating system looks for a Users folder, in the root directory, and looks for a folder with your username.
When it does not find them it creates new ones which are like new basically empty.
You simply have to put the folder with your username into the newly created user folder if you only have one user set up on the computer.
If you move the username folder (the one with the house icon) in the newly created Users folder into the shared folder you can then move the original username folder back into the Users folder.
If you are prompted to replace you would simply be replacing an empty username folder.

Seems to synchronize, but after ejecting, everything is gone

Hi! I am not sure if this is an iPod, an iTunes or a MacBook problem. I've had my Nano since last October and haven't had any problems up till now. A day or two ago I took some podcasts off and loaded some new ones on, all manually. When I disconnected and wanted to listen to them, they were gone! Other things were still there, music and audiobooks, for example. I reconnected it to the MacBook and got the following message: "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod "........" Go to the summary tab in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings."
I did that, synchronized some things and everything seemed fine until after the disconnect. They were gone again. When I tried synchronizing several podcasts and audiobooks on my husband's iMac, everything was fine. I tried it again from the iBook and got the same message.
This time after the Restore and synch everything was gone and when I connected it to iTunes again, I didn't get the message, but in the capacity bar in the summary section all the space that had been filled with blue-audio was now orange-other. There is only orange. I've repeated the Restore process a couple of times, put some audio on the iPod and ejected. Same results: nothing on the iPod and everything showing orange-other in the capacity bar.
If I remember correctly, there was a recent iTunes update and this is probably the first time I synched since then.
I would welcome any advice. It would be really inconvenient to only be able to sync things from my husband's computer.
Thanks! Kätchen

I have the same problem, just happened about 2 hours ago, and kind find anything to help. I have a 16GB 4th gen nano and a macbook pro. the only thing different is that in addition to the symptoms you have listed I get the "ipod cannot be restored (or ejected) because files are in use by another application".

Everything's gone......gone

I've seen this a few times on this forum, but i've had an additional snag:
tried to listen to ipod, no songs on it even though it said it only had 14 gigs left (it's a 40).
worked fine the other night and the only thing i did after listening to it was recharge it.
so everything's gone and that's cool because i have it all backed up, but i can't get itunes to recognize it now and when the updater runs, it give me a service error or something.
any ideas? i've already resolved to wipe it clean so i'll do anything at this point.
thanks,
JR

Do you keep all your music in iTunes? If so, then it shouldn't be a problem to erase the iPod, as everything will be restored again. If you manually put songs on your iPod, however, then you'll probably want to retrieve the files before such drastic measures (it sounds like something happened to the iPod's database, which won't affect the files still residing in the hard drive). Download a third-party iPod extraction utility (iPodRip is quite nice, though it may not work if the iPod database is corrupted) and copy the songs into iTunes, then restore the iPod and re-sync.
For future reference, you posted in the wrong forum; there are no 40GB Fifth Generation iPods.

I AM FREAKING OUT RIGHTNOW I HATE MY FREAKING IPOD

i followed all the steps to put my songs on my ipod so that i could put them on to my new computer. then 1083 of my songs say tehres a problem with their files. but i didnt buy the songs or anything they're from CDs.
and i am freaking out right now because i dont want to put all the songs back on, it took forever to do it the first time

Songs that you ripped from a CD won't sync from an iPod back to a computer. It's not a flaw, it's the way it is. I suppose it's to prevent distribution of music. Anyway, there are quite a few programs that can help you accomplish your goal. I don't know whether you are using Mac or PC but for Mac there is a program called iPodRip and there are similar programs available for PC. Most are freeware or inexpensive shareware programs and the place I would recommend finding them is VersionTracker.com. Let us know how it goes.

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

Traded in my iPhone for a different brand of phone. I had no idea that I had to sign out of iMessage before doing this. Now, my old phone is gone and my new phone cannot receive texts from people who have iphones and had me as a contact before. They try to send an iMessage and I have no way to receive an iMessgae now. On some server somwhere my AppleID still tells people they should send me iMessages. What is the solution to this issue? Deleting my AppleID would work to solve this issue, but I cannot ever delete the ID? What can Apple do for this?

If you did not erase your apps and data before getting rid of your old phone, try using Find My Phone and erasing everything remotely. See if this works.

Everything is gone and i'm freaking out
