Have 2 yr. old original iPad that continually asks to be reactivated. How do I stop this short of doing a Restore and reseeting everything to factory settings? I do not want to lose apps, mt cellular setup, etc that I have
I got a good solution yesterday on this forum on reactivating with iTunes, which was successful. I was able to see iTunes communicating with the iPad. All of the info on the home screen reappeared, and even my cellular was restored, which by the way was how I got into this mess in the first place. I had lost my cellular ability (the iPad was not recognizing) so I had powered down and back up again; that is how this whole problem started.
However, this morning, I awoke to no cellular recognition (I know I was getting a good cell signal), and when I tried to reboot the iPad to see if that would restore my cell signal to the iPad, the whole "Activation Required" loop started again.
This time however, connecting to iTunes did not automatically help. I had the choice onlt to Restore, which I only wan t to do as a last resort. Anyone able to give me an assist on this?

My brother and I phone number is link together on the same iTunes and Icloud therefore I am getting all his text messages on my phone, how do I stop this? He does not even have an Iphone anymore.
Try going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at". If that doesn't work, you'll have to tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different Apple ID for iMessage.

The spinning colored wheel wont stop and my word is open so i do not want to lose my paper
The spinning colored wheel wont stop and my word is open so i do not want to lose my paper. What do I do wihtout having to cut my computer off
Sbmills,
will it allow you to copy the text of your paper, paste it into TextEdit, and save it as a text document? You’d lose the formatting, but you’d still have the text. -

I'm receiving sound notifications on my iPad when I get junk mail. How do I stop this?
settings > notification center- from there you can change how it notifies you of a new email
also the mute switch- Flip the switch, no sounds from the iPad. -

Hey Ishland,
You are not alone. I'm getting the same thing I'm running Vista. I'm reading that Windows 8, 8.1 preview, Vista and XP.
I'm thinking this has to be a Apple update to iTunes 11.0.4.4 fix.
Cheers,
Steve

For the last few weeks old, read messages have been reappearing in my inbox marked as unread thus triggering a new message alert on my phone, tablet and pc. I have archived all messages up to and including December 2013 which made no difference.
Is it possible to remove old messages from the Hotmail server itself? Maybe that would be a good idea, if possible.

I am getting I-messages that have been sent and receveid by my kids. I am the master account holder but this has just started happening but we have had i phones for years. We are connected to the same I-tunes account but they are seperate devices. When my daughter sends an i message it goes to her contact in my name not hers. Also any i messages i am now sending to her are not reaching her. Can anyone suggest what can be done to fix this?
Share your purchasing Apple ID but create each a new AppleID for your kids

That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

Every time I contact my Iphone or IPad to my Mac, Iphoto opens. How do I stop this?
I need to know how to stop Iphoto from opening each time I connect my Iphone to my Mac in ITunes
Delete all the photos from the iPhone, or open the iPhoto or Image Capture preferences and set it not to open when a camera is connected.

I have Calendar alerts on every device [Mac/iPad/iPhone] after installing Mountain Lion. How do I stop this? Tech support acted like I was the first person this happened to. Anyone have the solution?
Well, whichever device you uncheck = exclude from calendars (and reminders) via iCloud will be excluded as both, receiver and sender. It's an "all or nothing", I guess. Otherwise it'd get more complicated, and the support calls could easily fill an extra forum...
@lmp68: don't think iTunes is it, in the days of iCloud that would sure take quite an extra effort, if possible at all. -
i have recently lost my iphone. Both mine and my husbands phones are synced to same apple account and now his phone is recieving ll of my i messages and i am not getting them. How do i stop this?
Sounds like your sharing the same apple id. settings - message - send&receive - make sure the cell number is the default for both phones.

MY hard drive crashed and I had to replace it. Now when I try to sync my iPod with iTunes it says that I have to replace the old library (that is lost forever) with the new library to sync. I do not want to lose all the songs on my iPod! What can I do?
Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

My Ipad went into disable mode after my grandchild entered the wrong passcode several times. I have the correct passcode, but I have never synced the IPad. It says Connect to Itunes Diable Ipad. I have many pictures I do not want to lose and I have never backed up. Is there a way to open the Ipad without losing all of my pictures or data.
You should be able to recover any pictures you have taken on your iPad (in Camera Roll), but not application data etc, by connecting, via USB not wifi , to your computer.
If you are using a mac, connect your iPad, if iTunes automatically launches close it, run iPhoto and wait till your iPad is shown under Devices, you can then import all or selected photos.
If you are using Windows, again connect and close iTunes if it starts. Then browse the device using explorer, your photos will be shown on the device in My Computer held in a folders under DCIM (or something similar), you can copy and paste them into which ever folder you want on the PC.
The rest I'm afraid is gone unless you can remember the passcode, sorry.
Hope all goes well.
Cheers

I have a MacBook pro that has power issues and will not start but the hardrive is fine. I do not want to lose all of my files so I was wondering if it's possible to transfer my hardrive from a older Macbook pro to a new one if I were to purchase a new one? Also, the software is not updated as the computer hasn't worked for about 2 months.
Also, if it is possible to transfer the hardrive, would my iTunes music transfer as well? It is not saved in the cloud.
Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.You computer is probably perfectly repairable, but if you want a new one anyway, it is perfectly possible to transfer the data from the faulty one.
But it would be a mistake to simply put the old HD in the new computer.
These are the steps:
Remove Hard drive from faulty computer. (very easy on Unibody MBPs, do-able but not so easy on older MBPs)
Put it in a cheap enclosure
Connect it the new computer
Boot up new computer.
If the new computer has never been run before the Setup Assistant will ask if you want to import your apps, data, settings etc from either another mac, another HD connected to the Mac or a Time Machine back up.
Obviously chose the second option (another HD connected to this Mac) and follow prompts.
If the new computer has already been run (so Setup Assistant doesn't run when you boot it up), you will need to use Migration Assistant...or run the installer again so that Setup Assistant runs again.
