For those of you with a Windows computer and the iOS device is not syncing or showing up in iTunes. here is a known solution that has been working for tech support!

I know this seems to be an emerging issue ever since the update to iTunes 11.1.4, some iPhones or other iOS devices are not showing up in iTunes or syncing. I'm not sure if Apple really knowns of this issue, but tech support has a (mostly) sure fire way of resolcing this issue. It's only for Windows computers though.
Go to the article http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538 and follow the Section 5 Verify Apple Mobile Device USB driver is installed. When you clik on that section, go to your version of Windows (it seems to be happening mostly across Windows 8) . And then to the section: If Apple iPod, Aple iPhone, or Apple iPad is listed.
The gist of what you need to do:
Windows 8 (since it seems to be the most affected) move your cursor to the upper ight corner of your screen) and click on the Magnifying glass. Type in devmgmt.msc and this should bring up the Device Manager. Onc eyou are in the device manager, look for the "Portable device" or "Universial Serial bus Controller" list, and you should see the "Apple iPhone/iPad/iPod" listed. Onc eyou see it, right click it, choose "Update software driver." Now, IT WILL SAY THE DRIVER IS UPDATED. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. Select "Browse my computer for driver software." Onc eyou choose that, select "Let me pick from a lsit of drivers on my computer." You should see the option "Have Disk." Choose that. Again, I KNOW you do not have a physical disk, but the file we need is already on your computer. After Hard Disk, choose Browse again. Follow this file path to the file we need: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.. In the Driver's folder, you should see the "usbaaple" or "usbappl64" (if you have the 64 bit for Windows). Double click on that file, and hit OK. The file should install, and once it's finished check your iTunes!!! You may want to unplug your device and plug it back it before doing all of this. I REALLY hope this works for you all as well!

How can I change my file extension from m4p to something else? I have had no success being able to play or burn my purchased music. I keep getting error 2122. If I can change the format I should be able to move it to another player or at least burn it in Nero. Thanks.

you are running the latest version of iTunes, have no other USB devices attached, have no security software installed, and are directly connected to your ISP source, simply restarting the computer and the iOS device can clear up certain issues that could prevent you from restoring.

How big is your library? I would recommend the following troubleshooting steps:
- Backup your library. Always a good idea before messing with things.
- Create a new library.   Refer to this article for details: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589. This won't delete your old library, you're just creating a new empty one. Also refer to this article to get back to your old library later.
- Add a few albums into this new library. Not everything, just a small sampling, as a test.
- Activate Match on this new library. You shouldn't have to re-pay, it should just say "Add Computer" or similar.
- At this point, Match should run again. With just a few albums it should complete in just a few minutes.
If iTunes doesn't crash at this point, then likely there's something about your original library that Match doesn't like - what that is I don't know, but at least you'll know it's not your PC.   If iTunes still crashes, then if could be a number of other things, but probably not your library.   My next suggestion (if you haven't already done this) is to uninstall / reinstall iTunes.   If that doesn't work, then my next ideas you won't like.

Search Server Error - Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion

Hello,
I have a 5 server farm (DC, 2 WFEs, 1 SQL,1 CA w/ search) and am experiencing an issue when returning search results. This issue just started occurring recently, and basically the search page throws a correlation id whenever used. The error returned
is:
SearchServiceApplication::Execute--Exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800703FA): Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800703FA)
SearchServiceApplicationProxy::Execute--Error occured: System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[System.ServiceModel.ExceptionDetail]: Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800703FA) (Fault Detail
is equal to An ExceptionDetail, likely created by IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults=true, whose value is: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800703FA)
I even attempted to create an out of the box enterprise search site with OOB masterpages and I still am receiving this error.
I have also tried the ‘Do not forcefully unload the registry at user logoff’ registry edit, but it did not work.
Has anyone ran into this issue and has another solution other than the ‘Do not forcefully unload the registry at user logoff’ registry edit?
Thanks!

IISReset works for me (but after some time it fails again)

Lightroom Mobile allows you to share collections between your computer and your iOS devices. How about computer to computer?

If I edit on my computer, the edit shows up on my iPad and edits I make on my iPad show up on my computer. Do they allow you to share the same between two computers? I have used the work around of exporting as a catalog, but that is a pain and must be done each time I move from one computer to the other. I usually don't know when I am going to be using one or the other. My collections are rather large and it takes a long time to export them as a catalog and more time to transfer them and more time still to import them. I wish they would allow a shared catalog or collection, so multiple computers, such as a desktop and notebook could work seamlessly together on the same images. I would like to be able to edit on one and have the changes reflected on the other. My desktop is far more powerful than my notebook and has 4 times the screen to work on. I prefer to use it for editing, but as a landscape photographer, I travel all over for weeks at a time and so I have plenty of time to work on the road. If they have a way for me to do it back and forth with a computer and an iOS device, I don't see why they can't make it happen for computer to computer. The export collection as a catalog really is not a solution. If they don't allow computer to computer, has anyone tried going from one computer to an iOS device and then to a different computer? In other words, using the iPad as a middle man between desktop and notebook?

This would be great but it isn't possible at the moment. You can't use the iOS device as the middle man as you propose. As soon as you uncouple one desktop you lose the cloud images and it will only sync with one Mac or Windows machine at a time. Undoubtedly this has to do with the use of the lossy dng for the files. On the desktop machine you are going to expect full resolution images which would take exponentially more storage on the cloud servers than the heavily downsized lossy compression dng files that are used now. 30MB raw originals are scaled down to a 1MB smart preview dng which is what is uploaded to the "cloud." On the iPad it doesn't matter much that you get very low resolution and lossy compression as you can still do some minor editing, but on your desktop you don't want to only have files like that. Syncing full res files over the cloud is going to be quite slow and is going to be quite expensive for Adobe, which is likely why we don't have it yet.

How do I reformat an IPod Touch for Windows that has been formatted for a Mac? All instructions I have been able to find use ITunes or Device Manager to reformat. My IPod is not being recognized by ITunes or in Device Manager.

I have an IPod Touch that has been formatted for a Mac. All instructions I have been able to find use ITunes or Device Manager to reformat the device for Windows. This cannot be done if Windows doesn't recognize the device. Is there another way to set the device back to the factory settings directly on the device without using ITunes?

Ipod touch is not formatted one way or the other at all.
Just sync it to the new computer using itunes.

If you have not already, I would shut down (power off) your computer. Do this to Reset your shuffle

Start up computer. Run iTunes. Connect shuffle.
If you have added a new USB device recently (since the last time it worked properly), you may want to try disconnecting it to see if that makes any difference.

I have written an ebook that has been created for kindle. How can I export the book into iBooks author?

I have written an ebook that has been created for kindle. How can I export the book into iBooks Author?
I have tried converting the book to different files like, mobi, epub, pdf. By using an app on my iphone.
I still cannot add it to iBooks Author.
I'm stuck, Please help me!

Either use copy/paste and then format/style as desired, or take it to Pages or WORD and insert chapters - which may still require resettling.
If you're looking for a 1:1 port, with all styles and layout intact, you may be dissapointed, tho.

Why does my airport wifi icon now say "No Hardware installed" It has been working for ever

Why does my airport wifi icon now say "No Hardware installed" It has been working for ever

This message comes up when your Mac no longer recognizes that there is an operational AirPort card installed. This can be due to a number of reasons, including card or antenna cabling failure.
You can try either a PRAM or SMC reset. Which you choose will depend on the exact model of your Mac, but most likely, a visit to your local Apple Store is in order.

Is there a way to read text messages from the past in a thread that has been ongoing for months?

Is there a way to view/recover messages from months ago in a thread that has been ongoing? The messages are not deleted. If i just keep "loading new messages" a) it will take all day, I've tried, and b) it freezes on me.

Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

Both will allow you to archive your text messages to your computer and read them easily.

I have a document that has been "uploading" for a few days now and I can't work on it from my IOS 5 device or my iMac

I have a document that has been "uploading" to icloud from my iPad for a few days and I can not access it from any of my apple devices including my iMac. Anyone else having this problem?

Basically that's the way to go, with some modifications:
Instead of<br>
''1) putting it back as it is 2) then renaming the profile folder''
follow these instructions:<br>
Create a new profile and copy the old one over it.

''4) putting back the whole original backup folder so it creates a second profile''
Make sure to create backups of your profiles.

HT1386 Need help with husband iPod......will not sync or show up in device drive??

Ok so I thought I fixed both my husband and I iPod, but only mine is working. When I go to plug in his iPod I get a PhotoShow express pop-up as well as Auto Play. When I go to click on the file in auto play the only thing it pops up is Internal Storage and when you click on internal storage the only file that shows up is DCIM only. iTunes will not even show up and when I start iTunes it will not even sync the iPod. I go under the Device Manager and under Universal Serial Bus Controller the apply device is not even there. Basically the only thing it does it charge the iPod.....Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I know my husband said something pop up about a month ago and he tired to import music, but all of his music disappear. Now I can't get his iPod to work. He has the 4th generation of iPod. Please someone help me to fix his iPod........Thanks.

Thank you again......I removed ALL files of Apple and iTunes and reinstalled it and now the iPod is syncing and working in iTunes.....I have a feeling I did not removed ALL files of Apple and iTunes and thats why it was not working......after I followed and make sure all files are removed and reinstalled iTunes it went into iTunes. Thank you again!!!!!!!

Good News for those of you with discoloration...

Apple recognizes, will repair discolored MacBooks
By Kasper Jade
Published: 11:00 AM EST
Apple Computer customers who've experienced premature discoloration on the casings of their glossy white MacBooks may finally see some restitution, AppleInsider has been told.
Click Here!
In an internal bulletin earlier this week, Apple for the first time acknowledged that a problem exists with some of its white 13-inch MacBook notebooks, where the casings of the computer may inexplicably turn shades of orange after very little usage.
"Some white MacBook computers may exhibit discoloration on the top case after some use," the company wrote in a note to its retail sector and service partners. "If this issue occurs [...] and the computer meets certain requirements, Apple will cover replacement of the affected parts under warranty."
In order to be eligible for the extended warranty repair, a customer's MacBook must have a serial number that falls within the range of 4H617XXXXXXXX to 4H627XXXXXXXX. The notebook must be irresponsive to approved cleaning solutions.
In replacing the top case -- the affected portion of the computer containing the palmrest area -- Apple will also replace the display bezel, people familiar with the repair process say.
The warranty extension is being made available to MacBook customers in all of Apple's major markets, including the United States, Canada, Europe, Latin America, Asia-Pacific and Japan.
Customers afflicted by discolored MacBook syndrome should contact an Apple Care support representative by phone (1-800-800-2775 in US) or bring their computer to a local Apple retail store to arrange for diagnosis or repair.
Widespread reports of discoloration began appearing only weeks after Apple introduced the new Intel-based MacBook notebooks, which are available in both white and black (not affected). Since then, some customers have had success in getting their stained MacBooks replaced or repaired through a variety of avenues, while others have not.
It's still unclear precisely what causes the discoloration, however speculation on the Web suggests a bad batch of plastics may be to blame.

Why don't they do the same for the bad logic board? It's obviously an issue; they might as well address it and make it easier for people that don't know why their computer is constantly turning off.
