I just opened my new ipad2 32GB. I can't get off the screen for language choice! How do I get to the correct screen to begin using it?

I just opened my new ipad2-32GB. It is connected to my macbook pro and itunes is opened. But it is stuck on a screen for language choices. How do i get to the correct screen to begin using it?

yes, thanks. I needed to reset using the power button and home button and hold for longer than i thought. After some serious worry (I'm an electronic illiterate!) I do have everything working and synced with my laptop and phone.
I am glad to have discovered the "support community" site

How do I get airdrop to work on my iMac--stuck on fetching

When I try to open airdrop it spins endlessly. How can I get it to open and function?
Thanks

Your iPad is an iPad 4 (4th generation), 32 GB, Wi-Fi only and is compatible with AirDrop as long as it's running iOS 7 or later.

How do I get my colours correct again in Photoshop CC 2014? White is showing as beige or cream.

For some reason my White has turned to Beige/Cream?If I select CMYK 0,0,0,0 I get a beige colour and as nice as beige can be I actually want white.
Does anybody know how I can get the colour/display back to normal?

Sounds like you have a bad monitor profile.
Monitor profiles are associated with the monitor by the operating system, e.g., through the Color Management function in Windows. To return to the Windows default, add the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile and make it the default.
Then, if you're looking for accuracy, get a calibration and profiling device and generate a custom profile that properly describes your monitor as it operates connected to your system.

How can we get Apple to correct this issue?

I have been a supporter and user of Apple since the IIe days. I still have a G4 on my desktop that works just fine with the software that was useful for those times. I have worked with a laptop Mac Pro since the fall of 2007 without any real major issues. However, I am now having all types of problems with the new Maverick OS which I installed about two months ago. In fact, I actually went to an apple support store and actually paid significant money to have them correct the problems which they said had to do with my keyboard. I did mention that I wasn't having the problems until I installed Maverick, but they didn't mention that many people were having any problems with that OS. I'm so used to everything working smoothly with Macs that I didn't even suspect an OS upgrade would create such havoc. I'm very disappointed with what is happening. It all started when I received a message that some software package would no longer be supported for my Snow Leopard, and I needed to upgrade to Maverick. Since doing so, my computer has done all kinds of goofy things. The worst issue is on startup. My sign in screen comes up and I can't move my cursor. If I hook up a wireless mouse, the cursor will move and I can get into the password position, but I can't get it to take a typed password or react to anything. I finally started taking the battery out of the laptop for 30 seconds and re-installing it and that process would seem to get results, but it seems to be getting less successful. I like some of the features of the new OS, but it is giving me so much trouble with startup that I'm very frustrated. I also noticed that my power light does not stay lit when the computer is on. The battery shows a full charge, so I don't think it is a battery issue. Has anyone else had this problem.

Given your description, at least some of the problems you're experiencing are probably due to woefully outdated software on a seven year old MBP.
It's also possible that more memory would alleviate the symptoms, since Mavericks will run in 2 GB, but 4 GB is a more realistic minimum. You can install as much a 6 GB in your MBP, but without additional information it is impossible to conclude more RAM alone is going to solve what's wrong.
If you don't know where to start consider running EtreCheck and posting its results as explained below. It will provide a quick summary of your system configuration, to preclude the need for a dozen time-consuming questions. None of what follows is intended to fix anything, but it will provide the additional information required to advance troubleshooting.
There are five separate parts to it; please consider everything and reply with your results. The prerequisite (Part 0) is labeled that way because it is more important than anything else.
Part 0
The first task you must do is to satisfy yourself that you have adequate, reliable backups, since what you describe may presage an impending disk failure. If you value the data on your Mac, you should have backups even if everything is working normally.
Part 1
Boot OS X Recovery by holding ⌘ and r (two fingers) while you start your Mac. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red. If Disk Utility reports "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK" in green then you can be reasonably (though not completely) assured your hard disk is in good working order.
When it finishes restart your Mac and test again for operation. If it's still not behaving as you expect it should, please post the results of EtreCheck in accordance with the next step.
Part 2
Apple Support Communities contributor etresoft wrote a very useful app to quickly gather certain system information that may help point to a cause of this problem. Read about it here. It contains a link to download EtreCheck. Don't download it from anywhere else (such as may be found by following the results of an Internet search).
Copy and paste its output in a reply.
Do not be concerned about anything that says "Problem" or “failed” or anything else that may appear in red.
EtreCheck was designed to remove any personal information (such as your computer's name and serial numbers) but if you see anything that looks like an email address or any other personal information that should not be divulged to others, please delete or obscure that information when you post the reply.
When you are finished with EtreCheck, quit the program. It occupies very little space, and you can keep it or drag it to the Trash as you wish.
Part 3
Please determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.
Part 4
System performance problems for reasons that cannot be isolated to any other cause justify an SMC reset. Be sure to read the procedure carefully and follow all the steps exactly as written, even if they seem inapplicable or trivial.

How do I get Apple to correct incorrect information in Maps?

In maps they have spelled the island I live on wrong. It shows as Pugget Island and should read Puget Island.

Hi, Eric.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would recommend reporting a problem with the spelling of the island name via the steps in the article below.

How can I get itunes to correct space calculation on ipod touch 2g

When I plug in my ipod touch, the itunes status bar shows:
3 gigs of apps
900 mb of free space
I delete several apps and status bar shows:
2 gigs of apps
1.8 gigs of free space
I click "apply"
Ipod touch synchs OK
Status bar reverts to:
3 gigs of apps
900 mb of free space
Ipod touch settings show:
900 mb of free space (even though the apps I delete are deleted on ipod touch)

It looks like too many changes already had taken place in the 'iTunes Library' file, to start from the original situation.
You can of course restore all the links manually, but you're probably still busy doing that next week.
Try to rebuild the library, using the instructions in this article:
How to recreate your iTunes Library
You could loose some information.
BTW. If your library mainly contains MP3's and AAC's and Apple Lossless, you won't loose any track related information (artwork, name, artist, album etc.)
That information is stored inside the song file.
Other information is stored inside the library files.
More info in: What are the iTunes library files?
You already made changes. Some links probably point to the external disk and some point to the internal. So I'm not sure re-creating the library will give satisfactory results. I hope it does of course.
If it's all a mess now, you could consider to start from scratch.
By doing this, you will loose all playlists, ratings, podcast subscriptions etc. but not track related info as mentioned above.
To do this, trash the 'iTunes Library' file and run iTunes. you will start with an empty library. Drag and drop the 'iTunes Music' folder on it.
All music will be added to the library.
Consider this as a last resort. Try re-creating first.

How can I get pages to correct my spelling automatically? I can't get it to change dont to don't!!!

Please help! I'm a PC to Mac converter and so I'm running into the usual problems I suspect. I probably sound a bit simple, but I've tried Edit>Spelling>Check spelling while typing but it's basically just giving me the red line underneath and not auto correcting.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
H

Are you sure that you did that in the app's preferences ?
There is a similar setting at system level but it doesn't apply to Pages.
Here I took a screenshot of the System Preferences pane.
iWork apps are too old to benefit of this one.
They use their dedicated scheme.
I may be wrong but it would be useful to double check.

How do I get AirDrop to appear in the Control Center?

When I swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center I do not have an AirDrop button. Also if I try to share a photo I do not have an option to share via AirDrop. AirDrop works on my iPad Mini but I cannot find any differences in settings on my iPhone that would explain why it does not work there. any ideas?

OK so I just found a page that says that the iPhone 4S does not support AirDrop even though it will runs iOS 7. So that explains the issue. But boo!

How do you get Airdrop to always work?

I have Airdrop on my two macbooks, both running Mavericks. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. Today, I logged in and out of my Macbook Pro and it worked to connect to the Airdrop of my Macbook Air. When I tried it again, it did not work. I remember before that I had to restart both macs to make it work. There was a time I repaired permissions. What actually makes this feature work?
I really wish Apple would stop advertising features that are problematic. I really want to believe that Airdrop is a useful feature of their OS, but my experience with it proves otherwise.

Did you install the Windows drivers from the Leopard DVD?
If you did, check the Boot Camp Forums

How can I get safari working correctly again?

Ok, I noticed a blue line going up my screen about 6-7 inches, so I decided to look up ways I could possibly get it to go away, now I'm faced with another problem. First I tried just restarting the computer, then I did a "Safe Boot" I believe it was called, and now Safari is acting up, I haven't changed anything at all, but when I try to open safari it either keeps saying "Safari unexpectedly quit" etc, "Reopen?" I click reopen and it does the same thing, or, it will open just fine, but glitch around a lot, like the sides of the page where the little scroll bar should be flicker, for lack of a better term, if I go to facebook, google, or anything safari will spazz around, and I can't really do anything, picture it like the screen (just the safari window) rolling uncontrollably but in the same spot if that makes sense, I'm running operating system OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 if that helps, anyone know what I can do to fix this problem?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

Trying to use airplay mirroring on ipad air. The airplay switch does not show in control panel, only airdrop. How do i get airdrop out of the way to find airplay switch?

NO airplay switch in control panel, only air drop. How do I find airplay switch?

Unplug the Apple TV then plug it back in, do the same for your router, then reset your iPad by holding down the home and sleep buttons, waiting for the Apple logo, then let go of the buttons.
