  • I have an ipod thats from the 3rd or 4th generation, but does not have a camera and any apps I try to download it says the software is not up to date, but I checked.  How do I fix this and get the next update? My itouch is stuck with version 4.2.1.

    Please help me figure out how to get my 3rd generation ipod to have the newest software in order to download apps.  It will not let me.

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

  • HT201250 How do you let time machine know that a restored drive does not need a brand new backup set and just append to the old one?

    I had an external drive failure and had to buy a brand new drive.  I was able to restore my info onto a new drive, about 1.5 TB of data.  When I go to launch time machine now with the new drive connected and my backup connected, it treats the new drive as if it had different data and wants to create a whole new backup set when it should just append.  How do I get around this?
    I could just reformat the backup drive and start fresh again but would rather not do that if I can avoid it, just in case there were errors in copying etc.

    Hi
    I should have been more clear, sorry.  I work from a laptop.  I have 2 external drives - one for my projects which failed but has since been replaced and restored from a backup.   My 2nd external drive  is the time machine backup drive.
    When my project drive crashed, I bought a brand new drive and restored it using my time machine backup drive.
    Now the data exists on 2 drives - the time machine backup drive, and the new drive.  When I connect the backup drive now, it thinks my new drive has new data, probably since it is a new device/drive, and wants to do a brand new backup, when in fact the data already exists on that very drive.  It shouldn't have to back up all 1.5 TB when nothing has changed!
    Unless there is a way to tell time machine to simply append to the old backup, I think it will try and do a new backup (1.5 TB).  I'm thinking maybe I should just initialize my time machine backup drive now and start over so it is only one backup set of 1.5 TB instead of (2) sets of 1.5 TB!

  • How do I get twitter installed on my iPad when it does not have iOS 5.0?

    How do I get twitter installed on my iPad when it does not have iOS 5.0? How can I upgrade my iPad?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • Error: X "does not have permission to write to the application's directory! Are you running off a disk image? If not, ask your system administrator for help."

    I have received to following error from at least three different applications when they have attempted to auto-update recently: X "does not have permission to write to the application's directory! Are you running off a disk image? If not, ask your system administrator for help." 
    I am not running off a disk image and I have admin privileges... Not sure what the problem is, but it just started happening (a week or two ago) and I have never previously had a problem with these applications auto-updating.  I have repaired permissions and attempted other "fixes" found on the interweb, but nothing works.  Also, this is only happening on my iMac (27" Intel i5) and not my MacBook Pro (17" Intel i5) -- both are running Lion.  Please help!

    If you updated using the default install (merge) from before Tiger, you may be seeing an issue that we saw when Leopard first came out last year.
    Not sure of the fix - it was not simple - but if you search back in these forums you might find something that will help. I believe it deals with the numbers assigned to accounts (501, etc).
    If you open your Accounts Preferences and unlock the padlock, right-click Advanced Options and read your User ID and Group ID. Let us know what they are.
    Now, in the other user admin account, do the same thing.
    One of the real experts who knows much more about this than I may be able to then help.
    And be sure to check out this article

    I purchased the multi-user iworks (yes back when it was new, 2009 or 2010 and recently had to replace my white imac's hard drive (but didn't pay to fix the CD drive).  My iworks does not have a serial number on the box and now that my CD drive isn't working how can I reinstall this software?

    Buy or borrow an external USB optical drive.
    See the confirmation email or covering letter to obtain the serial number. If you have lost it, contact the supplier.

  • How do I download Adobe Flash Player for a computer that does not have internet?

    How do I download Adobe Flash Player for a computer that does not have internet?

    Hello Walter,
    that's it, usually you get and Adobe Flash Player Installer only.  For a distribution in a company, or an installation on a PC without internet access, Adobe has available an offline installer. This installer you don't need to uncompress it first. You can download the installation file from there (you must logged in with your Adobe ID): http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

  • I purchared an iPhone 4s from Dubai and it does not have FaceTime on it.  The phone is now used in Europe. How do I get to instal FaceTime please?

    I purchared an iPhone 4s from Dubai and find that it does not have FaceTime on it. 
    The phone is now used in Europe.
    How do I get to instal FaceTime please?

    The iPhone from Dubai will never be able to have FaceTime. The iPhone country of origin (serial no. and imei no.) is the culprit. The government there has banned FaceTime.

  • How can I connect Apple tv to a digital projector that does not have an HDMI connection?

    I work in an elementary school library where we have 6 macs and 11 iPads.  I want to be able to share the output of each of these machines with Apple TV on a digital projector which does not have HDMI capability.  How can I do this?  I had been using an app called Refector with limited success.

    Open a program and drag the window over to the tv. You are using extended display mode.

    Hi [email protected],
    Thank You for psoting on the forums, in order to install an upgrade version you do not need to have the prior version installed on the system, only thing that you need is the serial number of the previous version.
    Please check the document mentione below for further information.

  • HT2518 how do you transfer video from a DVD based camcorder that does not use USB?

    How do you transfet older video on tape and DVD based camcoder that do not have usb?
    looking at buying a MacBook 15.4

    I have done this for someone else with Tape Deck coax out through USB if you have installed a TV USB application such as Hauppauge WinTV HVR; recording with TV App which is rather tedious.
    Check out these - you may find better ways to do it depending on camcorder.

  • My i tunes does not have a ringtones option on the menu bar or under preferences.  How do I get this folder to show up?

    I am trying to use a short mp3 file as a ringtone.  So far every website has told me that all I have to do is drag the file into the "ringtones" folder that is located in the menu bar on the left side of I-tunes.  I don't have this folder.  Again, every website tells me to simply go to "Edit" and then "Preferences" and to click on the ringtones box and then the folder will magically appear.  My itunes is the latest 10.5 version but somehow I don't have this option.  What is wrong with my i tunes?

    Yep... strange move on Apple's part.
    The quick solution would be to get hold of a Concert from MS 2 with the right layout etc, and then open it in your MS3.
    Slower would be to make your own layout using Grouped Controls for the pedal layout you'd like, then assign to incoming MIDI as needed (Switches etc), then map to the effects controls in Edit mode.
    You'll need to be careful how you setup the Screen Control backgrounds.

  • How do I load my CS5 onto my new laptop that does not have a disk drive?

    I have my disks and serial number but there in no disk drive on this new laptop.

    That sounds like you are saying you do not have a DVD drive on your computer to insert the discs. No problem. You can download the installer direct from Adobe. All you will need is the serial number.
    Download CS5 products  Photoshop CS5 installers are available for both Windows and Mac.
    For Windows there will be two files, an .exe and a .7z that must be downloaded. The exe will create the installer when run.
