I had a problem with my iPod synchronization. It wouldn't do it at all. I had music on there but any time I tried to put new music or playlists on it wouldn't cooperate. I plugged in my iPod and it came up and then I selected it and pushed the "sync" button. Nothing happened. Absolutely nothing! I have been readin all the posts on here as well as all of the troubleshooting advice from the gurus and there hasnt been one single thing that has helped me. I even went so far as to restore my coputer and then reinstall everything and I still ended up with a migraine. I sincerely abhor having to pay hundreds upon hundreds of dollars for warranties and repairs when the only thing different from when it worked to now is the updates for iTunes. If it comes down to it I feel apple should give everyone a free pass for technical support every time they come out an update so that all of us apple users can continue to love the stuff we buy from them, instead of makign us pay for thier screw ups and then blaming the user.

I don't know if you have tried this yet, but you may have enabled manual music management. On the main iPod screen in iTunes, there is a checkbox near the bottom that says "Manually manage music and videos." Uncheck this to have whatever is on your computer automatically sync with your iPod.
If that does not work, check the music tab and see if the checkbox for "Sync music" is selected. If it is not, do so.
Hope this helps

Does it charge?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try another cable
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

and on a second problem. I need to know for sure that my contacts are backed up on my computer

Create a parent folder on your computer to store the named folders of photos that you want transferred to your iPhone. Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select the parent folder. All named folders of photos within will be transferred to your iPhone as separate folders or albums.
Regarding your 2nd question, this should be easy. Your contacts should be available on your computer with or without an iPhone or any cell phone, which can be lost or stolen.
Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, not a good idea to depend on this either since the iPhone backup includes a significant amount of other data. Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer. With Windoze, this can be with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express with XP and by Windows Mail with Vista and Windows 7 called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.

I wanted to host my iWeb pages on Dropbox. I followed all the instructions but it still doesn't work.

I guess in October of 2013, Dropbox changed their program so you don't need a public folder to place your files in. I followed the instructions on numerous youtube and google result sites on how to do this. I thought I followed all the instructions but it still doesn't work. I downloaded Dropbox and configured it as instructed. I created a domain at .tk and when I put the URL in my browser, I see that .tk does go to my dropbox index html but it is a blank screen. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I would ask this to dropbox it could be they have blocked the option to avoid being used as free web hotels

I followed all the steps but my still don´t recognize my iphone

I followed all the steps but my still don´t recognize my iphone

TS3999 Calendar on Mac Powerbook Pro with Mavericks not pushing events to iPhone via iCloud. I've followed all the troubleshooting suggestions and nothing works.

I input my events on the Calendar on my Mac after I upgraded to Mavericks. Created the iCloud account, followed all the troubleshooting instructions (turning off and on, checking accounts, etc.), but the calendar does not sync/push events to my iPhone 5. The only events that show up are birthdays from Facebook (go figure!). At my wit's end trying to figure out what's wrong because I really need to view my calendar on the phone for work.! Help?

If you calendar is now syncing new events to iCloud, let's rebuild your iCloud calendar. Do the following:
Select each of your calendars on the left sidebar on your Mac and back them up as you did before, by going to File>Export>Export and saving the .ics files to your desktop.
Delete each of your calendars on your Mac by control-clicking on them and selecting Delete. Go to icloud.com and confirm that your calendars are no longer there.
Add a calendar back to your Mac by opening the calendar application and going to File>New Calendar>iCloud and giving it the name of one of your calendars. Repeat for each of the calendars you deleted. When you are done, you should have empty calendars for each of the calendars you delete earlier. Go to icloud.com to confirm these empty calendars appear there too.
In the calendar application on your Mac go to File>Import>Import and navigate to one of the .ics files you saved earlier. When asked where to import it, click the drop-down list and select the empty iCloud version of the calendar you are importing, then Import. Wait until the spinning progress wheel stops at the top of the left sidebar. Repeat this for each of your other calendars.
Check the calendars on your Mac and on icloud.com to confirm that all your calendar events appear now. They should also now appear on your phone. Then add another test event to the calendar on your Mac and confirm that it appears on icloud.com and your iPhone now. If so, everything is now working properly.

Iphoto will not open I am asked to check with developer that iphoto works with this version of OS x. I have Mountain Lion OS X I have followed all the steps recomended by T Devlin in a previous discussionand reinstalle ILife but to no avail

To reinstall iPhoto you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the:
HD/Library/Receipts folder (10.5 and earlier)
or from the /var/db/receipts/ folder (10.6) .
or from the /private/var/db/receipts folder (10.7 or later)
Then install iPhoto from the source it came from originally.

I am trying to update my iPod touches and keep getting an error message saying iTunes could not back up my iPod because a session could not be started. I have followed all trouble shooting advice found on the apple website, unplugged and replugged the device, restarted my computer, etc. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks

I have the same issue, except I can't even sync.

TS1389 I followed all the related suggestions and I still can't play a song I bought. Any suggestions?

I restarted my computer, reset my password, deauthorized my computer then authorized it again, I looked up the info to make sure I had the right account and everything....

I have solved my own problem! I deleted the song and downloaded it again for free. That did the trick.

HT4623 I followed all the above suggested steps, still unable to send or respond to incoming emails on my iPhone.

I spoke with tech support @ Verizonwireless and was told the smtp.live.com is the correct outgoing mail server as far as the info he had. Nothing else he could do to assist. Any suggestions? Thx.

I would verify each smtp setting in the settings email account with the settings
provides by the email provider to verify that those still matched

I love Firefox, but recently it has been crashing multiple times per day (sometimes 20 or more). I've checked the web help, and can't resolve. Please help.

I have Windows 7 and Firefox 7.0.1, and those two combined have caused a crashing epidemic. I do not have many add-ons installed, and the ones I do have are all updated. I also did not see the crashing coincide with a recent download or install. I've checked all the online help, and nothing has provided resolution. If someone could assist that would be great. I do not want to be forced in to using another browser.

Here are the crash report links. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks for your help!<br />

Can't open my photo library after upgrading to iPhoto 11. is it possible to load iPhoto 9.0.1 after loading 11? have followed all other instructions but it still won't let me open iPhoto.

can't open my photo library after upgrading to iphoto 11. Is it possible to download iphoto 9.0.1 after installing '11. Have followed all the other instructions and am in a loop which doesn't allow me to access iphoto or my photos.

when iphoto wouldnt open we read the trouble shooting info and it said that we may have needed to download 9.0.1 if we had an older version. We obviously didn't download it before the upgrade and wondered if it would cause problems or indeed solve the problem if we downloaded it now!
When we try to open iphoto is says:
To open your library with this version of iphoto it first needs to be prepared
To prepare the library use the iphoto library upgrader available from Apple.
We have downloaded this twice now and it still sends us this message when we try to open iphoto.

Iphone 4s - fully working after ios7 update, but since ios7.0.2 update wifi is locked out. Tried all of apples recommendations and still no joy. Is there anyway around it?

Iphone was working great, even after ios 7 update. However, since ios 7.0.2, the wifi has greyed out and wont work. I have done all the apple recommendations and even reset phone with apple tech help, but still no joy - is apple going to do another update to fix this problem???

Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call? You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.

Welcome to the Apple community.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
This article provides more information about Activation Lock.
