    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • When I went to update my iPod touch on iTunes, it said unable to update then the iPod shutdown and no longer showed connected in iTunes.  I have tried holding down both buttons for up to 3 mins with no luck turning it on, even after a full charge.  Help?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Mail locked up and now it will not close or allow me to reboot or shut down. Any ideas? Thanks

    My mail has locked up and I can't reboot or shut down the computer. Also in mail the left click does not work; it is just stuck. Any ideas? Thanks

    BTW - there is also the Force Quit option in the Apple menu dropdown. Wasn't sure if you could select menu bar options, so gave you the keystroke shortcut.

  • HT4528 With IOS 7 I had to move my photos and videos off to a backup to install the IOS.  When they moved back to the phone during a sync I have no way to delete them.  The trashcan stays grayed out and the usage page doesn't give me a delete option.

    I got the message that IOS 7 was ready to download.  I wish I had read the reviews on it first.  I had to move my photos and videos off the phone to free up memory space for the install.  I was still able to see the phone with a file browser and grabbed the photos and videos and stored them in a directory on my hard drive.  Meanwhile my itunes updated too.  So with my files moved and deleted from the phone I made a backup of the phone.  I installed the ios 7.  When I synced the itunes moved my backup directories back to the phone.  I can't figure out how to remove them from the phone.  Under photos they have installed themselves with the names iphone09282013 and videos directories.  When I access them I don't get a delete option.  The trashcan is greyed out.  The settings usage page no longer gives me the swipe delete function.  How do I remove these files to free up space now that I have them saved to my computer?

    Hi Eric Ferguson,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

    I just upgraded my IPhone to IOS 7.1 and now the speech to text function and Siri doesn't work
    The microphone icon is white not grey
    And when I hit it it only stays on for a split second
    Not long enough to dictate a message
    It worked fine before upgrade
    And works on IPad which I also just upgraded
    Help??

    There are many, many threads on this forum about this issue. Do a forum search for "wi-fi greyed out" and see if any of the solutions therein will work for you. Best of luck.

  • Just upgraded and now phone is DEAD. Won't turn back on even holding down both start and sleep for 15 seconds! Was perfect before...help!

    Upgraded my iphone4 2 days ago and now it won't power on at all. It is completly dead. Have tried plugging it in wall and computer. Have tried holding down the power and sleep buttons for 15 seconds... nothing. Please help!

    You have done everything correctly so far. Try charging again with the wall charger for at least 30 minutes. Maybe the iPhone will turn on itself. If not then try the Reset again, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone restarts, keep holding for at least 30 seconds if necessary. If still nothing, make appointment with Apple Genius and have them fix or replace your iPhone under Warranty coverage.

  • My iPod 5 has bent, the screen popped out and the home botton is jammed in and isn't able to come out. The iPod works fine. What would they do at a repair shop to fix this?

    I'm wondering if they would fix the screen, button and dents, and how much this would cost.

    If defective, within warranty and not abused
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one at no cost. Otherwise the exchange cost is $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs They do not fix yours.
      Apple - iPod Repair price                             
    You can do it at an Apple store by making an appointment:
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    or send it in to Apple. See:

  • Dropped my phone and now I see almost-transparent lines on my lock screen and the touch screen doesn't work. Help?

    I was walking to my garage when my iPhone slipped out of my hand and fell on the floor. I looked at it and saw strange almost-transparent lines on my lock screen. I tried to unlock my phone, but it wouldn’t let me do anything. It was almost as the touch screen wasn’t working. I turned it off and plugged in my phone to the charger and it started up automatically, but it still looked the same and wouldn’t work. I think that my iPhone 5 might be broken? Please help!

    Make an appointment at an Apple store and have then assess it
