How do I reset a desktop computer

After I update to Icloud, I Mac restart and is in mode of restarting but continues doing so even after 24 hrs! How long does it take for the IMac to send all data to Icloud server; How do I reset IMac?

I go sign in and it acts like it's logging me in then goes to a window that says please sign in.  I tried resetting my password thinking I was wrong about it.  Still nothing.  I followed a link that used cmb and a downloaded something to try to get it working and that didn't work.  The chat agents must handle multiple calls at once b/c I mostly sit there waiting to get an answer.  Nobody has time for that.

    Just got the ipad and trying to sync ipad with computer to back up files.

    Have you installed iTunes on the computer ?

    What is the best way to backup all iPhone content on a Windows PC?  Thanks,

    I suggest you also sync your contacts to a supported application on the computer. Depending on what version of Windows you are using, it would be Windows Contacts or Outlook, NOT Outlook Express.

  • How do I restore my Ipad 4 from my desktop computer? My charger was broken. I bought a new one but now it won't charge. I have a BATTERY bar in the middle of the screen that is flashing RED and I have a symbol on the bottom that looks like a charger.

    How do I restore my Ipad 4 from my desktop computer? My charger was damaged so I bought a new one but it won't charge. On my Ipad, I have a BATTERY bar in the middle that is flashing RED and an icon on the bottom that looks like the end of a charger. I have tried to force into reset mode, by holding the sleep key and home button SEVERAL times but it does NOT work. I have plugged my Ipad into my desktop computer, but I do not have a screen on my desktop that is coming up. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE AFTER I DID AN UPDATE AND WAS LOCKED OUT AND I USED EITHER ICLOUD OR ITUNES TO RESTORE, NOT SURE WHICH AND I FORGOT HOW.

    Hi MrsMoosie,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad. If your iPad isn't responding or doesn't appear to be charging, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful, in particular the following portion:
    If you don't see the charging screen within an hour, or you see the connect to power screen, check your connector, USB cable, and power adapter. Make sure that everything is plugged in firmly, free of debris, and not damaged. You might want to try a different USB cable or power adapter.
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

    I purchased a movie on the AppleTV 2 but it is not showing up in iTunes on my desktop computer. How can I sync? (have lastest version of iTunes and ATV2 software)

    Of course it always works, what are you talking about.
    I appreciate that re-downloading is only available in the US and then only with certain content. However content that cannot be re-downloaded is not offered for purchase on the Apple TV.

  • My husband plugged in a password and we don't know what it is and cannot log onto the new computer.  How can I reset the password if I can't log on?

    My husband was setting up the iMac he got us for Christmas.  I already have a MacBook Pro.  I do not know the sequence of events but I do know he wanted to use my iTunes account on the iMac so I provided passwords.  Now we cannot log onto the computer using any of my passwords.  He must have mistyped something.  How do we log onto the computer if we can't figure out what the password is?

    If it's a new Mac I guess it's running Lion, if so, hopefully this'll help:

  • Not printing text-only graphics on Canon. Not printer problem-print ok on Brother and another network Apple prints ok on Canon. Believe a computer setting was inadvertently reset. What setting and how do I reset?

    Not printing text only on Canon--grahics print ok.  Not printer problem.  Prints ok on a Brother and another network Apple prints ok on Canon.  Believe a computer setting was inadvertently reset.  What setting and how do I reset?

    Without your printer model numbers, readers can only give you vague general directions.
    System Preferences > Print&Fax > ...
    ... shows a list of all set-up printers.
    If you are having serious problems, it makes sense to "Reset the Printing System" (which also removes all printer set-ups) and add back each printer. It only takes a few minutes.

  • How can I reset my lock passcode without plugging it into the computer or restoring it or resetting any data?

    I went I to my phone and I tried to unlock my passcode but it did not let me in, how can I reset my lock passcode without plugging it onto the computer on iTunes, or restoring it or deleting any data ?

    You don't. The only way to remove the passcode if forgotten is to restore the device. If you have a backup, you can restore to that last backup, but anything done since that last backup would be lost.Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

  • I have a new iPod Touch and one apple ID. I want to use My laptop aswell as my desktop computer for the one ipod, using the same apple ID. I have music on both computers and want to merge the two without losing any music or apps. How do I do this?

    I have a new iPod Touch and one apple ID. I want to use My laptop aswell as my desktop computer for the one ipod, using the same apple ID. I have music on both computers and want to merge the two without losing any music or apps. How do I do this?
    My iPod has music and apps from my apple ID that I downloaded to my iPod via iCloud and some apps that I got free from the store, straight onto my iPod, but my laptop has some music on it aswell, separate from my other library. I want to put the music from my laptop into my iTunes library which I want to use on both computers. Is it possible to do this?
    Thanks.

    - You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
    Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
    - If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
    go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.

    If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

  • IPhone 5c how can I keep my email on my desktop computer when retrieving from my phone?

    I just purchased the IPhone 5C and have successfully set up my Cox email account on my phone. I am able to receive my email on the phone, but at the same time, it deletes it from my desktop computer at home. I am able to set up my iPad to receive mail and still get it on my desktop at home. Can the same thing be done with the iPhone 5C?

    Hi Rosera,
    This is bad and I am sorry to hear that you are running into these issues.
    Let me connect with you, so right now, the current state is that you have installed copy of PSE 8 in trial on your windows 7 machine, and when you are trying to enter the serial number from your PSE 8 Box, it is saying the serial number to be invalid?
    It might sound pretty obvious, but please make sure that you are entering the serial number correctly and of PSE 8(in case you bought a PEPE box)?
    Have you tried the steps mentioned below by Barbara?
    If possible, you can send me the serial number through PRIVATE MESSAGE and I can check it on my end that whether the serial number is indeed invalid or that the issue is with your machine?
    Regards,
    Ankush

  • How can I remove icons from the Finder sidebar?  Were transferred when I set up laptop from my desktop computer.  Tried dragging off but that didn't work.

    How can I remove icons from the Finder sidebar?  Transferred info from my Mac Pro desktop computer (using target mode) and there were folder icons on the Mac Pro Finder sidebar that are now on the MacBook Finder sidebar, even though these folders do not exist on the MacBook.  Tried to drag them off, which is the usual way to get rid of folders that the user adds to the sidebar (as opposed to those that can be added via the Customize Toolbar dropdown menu) but was unsuccessful.  I then unchecked all of the Customize Toolbar menu items and the folder icons still remained.  What else can I do?

    Did you hold the Command (Apple) key while dragging them off the sidebar? That usually makes them go *poof*.

  • How do I move the music from my iTunes library on my desktop computer to my iPad?

    How do I move the music from my iTunes library on my desktop computer to my iPad?

    Connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar via control-S on a PC, option-command-S on a Mac), and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select which of your iTunes music to sync to the iPad's Music app

  • How can I play .caf files on Windows desktop computer

    I have a voice/sound recording program called Recorder Pro on my iPhone5.   It generates .caf files, which can be transferred to my desktop computer while the phone is connected, using iTunes/Apps (where the bottom left panel upon scrolling down has two apps, Recorder pro and Garage Band, and on selecting Recorder Pro, the .caf files are listed in the bottom right panel, from where they may be copied. 
    However, none of the software on my desktop would play the .caf files, so following the solution in another post
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/22299971#22299971
    I downloaded Audacity 2.0.5. 
    Now, to complicate the issue, I have had two versions of Recorder Pro on my iPhone.  The first version (let's call it V1) had an icon with a big oval mid-gray microphone. It was (as far as I can remember) free of charge.  It seemed to have a constraint of 3 min recording time, so I replaced with a second version (V4.1.2) purchased for about $2.  "V4.1.2" has an icon with a red sphere on a black background. 
    Both versions produced .caf files, but Audacity will only read the three files I recorded with V1 (6 to 15 MB).  The two files I recorded with V4.1.2 (3-10 MB) will not play.  (Import RAW in Audacity does not work either.)
    I am not sure what the relationship is between the Recorder Pro programs, as they bear no resemblance in design. They both originated from DAVA Consulting. The first one was I believe from here:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/recorder-pro/id503031635?mt=8
    and the second one says it is 4.1.2.
    (A further complication - which could conceivably be relevant - is that V1 appeared in the bottom left of iTunes but the files did not show in the right panel, and I had great difficulty downloading those 3 files - in fact I cannot understand how they ended up copied to my desktop,  since the procedure that was supposed to work was impossible due to the non-appearance of the .caf files in that panel!   Then, when I did find them on my desktop, the files were truncated at less than 4 minutes .... which was the reason for purchasing V4.1.2.  The question then occurs:  is it critically important to download those caf files from your phone in a particular way?)

    Have you tried Vox? https://itunes.apple.com/jp/app/vox/id461369673?l=en&mt=12
    It plays FLAC files (and just about anything else) - though not in iTunes. No need to convert anything.
