Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
You can also Google for YouTube videos that show how to do it

Bluetooth not working
If the iPhone 5 was purchased yesterday, you should still be within your free ninety (90) days of complimentary phone support. Was it purchased as a new device, or second-hand?
You have free options, such as the troubleshooting articles on this website:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3018
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3647
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1664
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4562
Another free option is to get fifteen minutes of free troubleshooting support at a local Apple store.
Another free option is the one that you just used, asking a question on this forum.
Apple customers that pay for the Apple Care Protection Plan ($69 for an iPhone 5, to get double the length of hardware warranty, and twenty-one (21) extra months of troubleshooting support over the phone, live with an tech), get priority over customers that have chosen not to use that service.
Use the right solution for your needs. Some people are willing to pay for live tech support, others prefer the free options. -
I have just installed Lion OS and Face Time encounters server problems on sign up. I have sought to rectify the firewall problem without success and even temporarily turned off firewall with no success. Any ideas?
Some folks have discovered that changing their DNS service fixes FaceTime connection issues.
The ideal way is to configure your modem/router with DNS service, but often settings in System Preferences/Network/Advanced/DNS on your Mac will override the router settings. Try either of these;
OpenDNS

My passcode requirement was turned off prior to updating to iOS 7.
It is now requiring my Passcode, but I cannot remember it! And computer won't let me synch because "Find My iPad" app is turned on, which I obviously cannot turn off without getting into iPad Settings.
Do I really have to Reset the iPad?Yes, you will need to restore your iPad. This link will help restore from a lost passcode:

I forgot my four digit passcode for the iPad and I'm looking to Reset the iPad Because it is doing all kind of things on his own like somebody else's operating my iPad from somewhere else but I just need to reset the 4digit code
A passcode cannot be recovered if forgotten. You can reset via recovery mode if disabled by following the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 and may need to do that procedure more than once.

I have created an iMovie but cannot share it. I have looked at the help menu and have tried to follow these instructions but cannot get the sharing button to open anything.
Do you have MacKeeper installed? If so, you need to uninstall it. There is a known issue where MacKeeper disables all the sharing functions from the new iMovie.
Uninstall MacKeeper, then re-install iMovie.
Keep MacKeeper uninstalled. -
Having followed the instructions for "if you have never synced your device to itunes" and my computer displayed the message that the device has been restored, my phone is still saying its disabled and I should connect to itunes. What do I do now??
Put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

If that still fails, you'll probably need to go to an Apple Store or call Apple Support for further assistance.

I have emigrated from the UK to Australia and am about to change my itunes country. Will this result in me losing all my itunes downloaded songs etc? Will i need 2 accounts?
Going on what other people have posted your purchases will disappear off the Purchased links for redownloading (they won't be removed from your iTunes library or iOS devices), but as long as you have all your downloads on your backup of your library then that shouldn't be a problem - you won't be able to redownload anything from the Australian store unless you return to Australia anyway.

I had to get a new ipod....they said I just needed to plug it in and sync to my itunes.. I get an error 1413 when I try to follow the instructions to restore. I can't find any information on error 1413, what does this mean?
Now it keeps saying that it is restored but there is still no music or video on it. And a new error is coming up that says "We could not complete your iTunes store request.The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

I am following the instructions to hyperlink URL to an image in an email, but once I paste the URL, the "ok" button is not highlighted so I cannot complete the task. What is the problem and how do I get around it?
I figured out if I took the http:// off the front of the URL, the "ok" button would highlight, but then link did not work. I tried just linking www.google.com to the image and the link did not work either. What gives?!
