  • My iPad won't download video rentals from the apple store

    I've tried to download two films from the apple store on a rental basis on my new iPad mini. When I try to download it just says there is an error and it can't be downloaded at this time and to tap to retry, when you retry the same thing happens. I did get it to download once but then it just got stuck at processing. Can anybody help as I can't remove them from my queue either.

  • Hi my wife downloaded a movie from the apple store and now her ipad is black !!

    Hi anybody have this happen before ? what can i do to fix it

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.

  • HT2589 When I try to download an update from the apple store it says my ID has been disabled.  But I can log into my apple acct. with that ID with no problem.

    The APP Store shows I have 2 updates.  When I enter my ID it says that it has been disabled.  Yet, I can log into my apple acct. with no problem.

  • Retrieving bought music from the apple store to iTunes

    Does anybody know how to retrieve bought music from the apple store into your iTunes? I reinstalled iTunes and I can't seem to retrieve my music I bought from the store. Can anyone help?

    When you reinstalled, did you erase the entire drive? If not, your music should still be in the iTunes folder in your Documents -> Music folder. Take a look there. If it's there, you can get it back into the iTunes library listing by using the Add to Library command and selecting the iTunes Music folder.
    Hope this helps.

    Is this a pre-paid card thing? Or different billing address than your iTS account?

  • I recently purchased an Apple TV box & the App for Apple TV from the Apple store. Now how do I get it to work? I am a card-carrying technological imbecile.

    I recently purchased an Apple TV box & the App for Apple TV from the Apple store. Now how do I get it to work? I am a card-carrying technological imbecile.

    If I'm understanding correctly, you have an Apple TV 2 (the small, black box version of the Apple TV), and downloaded the Remote App from the iTunes Store for your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad, correct?  If so...
    For the AppleTV setup, hook it up to your television and, if applicable, your Surround Sound system.  To do this, you'll use an HDMI cable (not included, available here) to hook the AppleTV to your Television.  The cable only fits one way, and should slide effortlessly into place.  If, and only if, you intend to use your surround sound system with the AppleTV, you will also need what's called a TOSLINK Optical Cable (also not included, available here).  This cable goes from the AppleTV to a port labelled Optical In or Digital In on the back of your surround receiver (consult the manual that came with your surround sound system for additonal help).
    From here on, we'll focus on hooking up the AppleTV, then how to setup the Remote App from Apple on your iOS device.
    The AppleTV needs a network connection in order to function correctly.  A wired connection is recommended, but Wi-Fi is built-in to the AppleTV if a wired connection isn't available.  With the AppleTV plugged into your television, follow the on-screen instructions for setup.  To connect the AppleTV to your Wi-Fi network, you'll need to know the name of the network you want to connect to, as well as any password needed to connect to it.  When the AppleTV has a network connection, it'll load the latest selection of TV Shows, Movies and Music for display on the main menu - that's the easiest way to tell everything's working.
    For the Remote App, all you need to do is download the free application to a compatible iOS device (Any iOS device running iOS 3.1.2 or higher).  Once downloaded, go to the computer hosting your iTunes library, and turn on Home Sharing.  Finally, start the Remote App on your iOS device (be it iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch), login with the same information you setup Home Sharing with, and away you go!  The Remote App is entirely optional, since the AppleTV can be controlled by the included remote control, but it's a nice touch nonetheless.
    I hope this answered your question, or at least helped put you on the path to success.  If you need something clarified, please don't hesitate to ask here.

  • Something keeps trying to download on my mac and I don't know what it is. It is not in the apple store and just comes out nowhere and request for my password to download something and I don't know what it is. How to make this stop?

    Something keeps trying to download on my mac and I don't know what it is. It is not in the apple store and just comes out nowhere and request for my password to download something and I don't know what it is. How to make this stop? It pops up every single day.

    Erica,
         I can, with 99.99% certainty, tell you that you are absolutely right in not wanting to download or install this "Helper," whatever it is (but we can be equally certain it would not "help" anything).
         I cannot comment as to Oglethorpe's recommendation of 'adwaremedic'; I am unfamiliar with it.  His links to the Apple discussion and support pages warrant your time and attention.
         It might be really simple -- Trying looking in your Downloads folder, trash anything that you don't know with certainty is something you want to keep, and then Secure Empty your Trash. Then remove the AdBlock extension, LastPass, and Web of Trust extensions to Safari and re-boot. If the issue goes away, still be extraordinarily careful in the future.
         Unfortunately, it's probably not going to be that simple to get rid of, in which case I'd then try the line by line editing in HT203987. 
         I have no further suggestions (other than a complete wipe and re-install...but that's a pain because trying to restore from Time Machine would simply ... restore the Mal).
       For the rest of us, please post when you find a solution.
         Best.

  • Hello i just came back from the apple store and they had to restore my phone and i just downloaded all my apps and music back but my photos that are on icloud i only got 80 out of 768 back. what do i do to get all of them back?

    hello i just came back from the apple store and they had to restore my phone and i just downloaded all my apps and music back but my photos that are on icloud i only got 80 out of 768 back. what do i do to get all of them back?

    If you tried to restore to your iCloud backup and your photos didn't fully restore, first go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and make sure it isn't still in the process of restoring.
    If the restore is complete and all your photos weren't restored, all you can do is try restoring the backup again.  You might try the solution posted by ezjules in this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589.  This involves opening the photos app after the phone restarts and you provide the passwords for your Apple IDs, then leaving it open for the remainder of the restore process.
