Troubleshooting depends on what computer OS you are using.
Since you do not indicate what you use, here are both.

hhi guys
my video recording sounds not working at all but it's working for other things such as music. I've tried to clear my sound thing near the earphone hole but had no success can someone please help me out?Had an Iphone 4 for about 3 months now. This happened to the first one I had and they ended up having to replace it at the apple store just a couple weeks ago 6/2. It happened again last night to my new one. This time i was able to correct it by going to itunes, backing up the phone to icloud, and then restoring the software. Mine did not work with voice memo, but did work with headphones plugged in, and would also work on speaker. I could hear callers but they couldn't hear me. I had purchased a new case (lifeproof case at $79.99) because it comes with plugs that cover the headphone jack, and the charging port, and is also waterproof. I heard that the root cause is due to lint, dirt, etc getting inside the headphone jack. Well, must be something else. It's a 10 days old phone, and has been in this overpriced case the whole time, and I have not used the headphones. I hope this doesn't keep happening.

Problem with MS Office for Macs, can someone please help?
I am using MS Office for Macs 2011 on my new MBA, and have encountered a pretty annoying issue when I transfered all my Excel, Word & PP documents from my old Sony PC. When I open an Excel spreadsheet for example, the computer also opens every single OTHER speadsheet. Since I have over 30 Excel documents, this obviously becomes very annoying and time-consuming! The same thing happens when I try to open a Word or PP document. Is there some setting that I need to change to have only the document I actually want to open? All the documents were created on older versions of MS Office, but I doubt this is the problem. Can someone help please? Thanks!
You could also try deleting the microsoft preference files, incase something has gone amiss there.
Make sure all Office application are quit fully
Go to User/[unername]/Library/Preferences
Look for
com.microsoft.Excel.plist
com.microsoft.office.plist
com.microsoft.Word.plist
com.microsoft.Powerpoint.plist
Outlook is there too, so if it is causing you issues, you can delete them too
Next time you open your office applications, the new prefernce files are created. Any particular preferences that you had set will of course need to be reset as they are now all new (default) again.
Another thing to check is in you System Preferences - General
Do you have the 'close windows when quitting an application' checked? if not, checking it may fix the issue.

Hi,
My iphone 4 won't connect to my mac book, it says that I need to install to latest version of itunes 11.1. When I go to itunes and try to update, it says that I have the latest version (10.6.3). Can someone please help me!
thanksYou are probably running OS 10.4 or 10.5 on a PPC Mac. No version of iTunes higher than 10.6.3 is available for these older Macs. I have the same problem, and while I can still use the PPC to sync my iPod, it can't be used to sync an iPhone 4 or higher. The only solution, as I discovered after upgrading to the iPhone 4, is to buy a newer Mac. I was able to get a 2006 MacBook running Lion for under $300, and that has been a lifesaver.

Can someone please help i cant connect to itunes from my iphone 4 ,,i had an iphone 3 and when i got my iphone 4 i changed my email address for new itunes account and my old phone which hubby uses is changed aswell ..for some reason i cant update my apps off m iphone & in itunes via pc it will say apps are all up to date but i have 25 apps that need updating please can someone help ,, i can download a new app but i cant update existing ones ,,,
very frustrated iphone user !!Changing devices is no reason to create a new Apple ID.
All content purchased from iTunes is permanently linked to the Apple ID it was purchased with.
To update apps purchased with the old ID, you MUST sign in with that Apple ID. -
Apple mobile device will not install on my computer (hp pavilion g7-1237 dx Notebook PC). Can someone please help me?
When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. -
I need to download all of my photos from my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 to my MacBook Air because there is no more storage space available. I want to make sure all my photos are not lost and that they do not return to the original devices because of the cloud. Can someone please help ?
Connect your devices to the computer with the USB cable (one device at a time) and import the photos via iPhoto or Image Capture.
If you have not changed any default settings on your computer, iPhoto will automatically launch when you plug in the device. Then follow the import prompts. -
i have an ipod touch 3rd gen.I used the function of erasing all contents and settings and now i am stuck with this screen showing the apple logo and the loading sign for the past 17 hours.CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hold down the on/off button and the home button for 20 to 30 sec, when the iPod starts and the Apple logo is on the screen release the on/off button but continue to hold the home button until you see the plug into iTunes screen. Connect the iPod to iTunes and you should be good to go.

I recently uninstalled itunes to work on other computer issues. I was told I would be able to reinstall itunes, and through my apple account retrieve all of my music. I just don't know how to do that. Can someone please help me? Thanks!
okay, I figured it out. But for anyone else with this same issue. Open up your itunes. On the panel, on the left hand side, click downloads. It won't show your old stuff, but on the botttom right hand side, there will be a button you can left click that reads "download previously purchased" and everything shows. You just select all and confirm download. YAY! Glad I got my music back :-) Hope this helps

I want @mac to be @me on all devices!! Can anyone please help?
Hello .
I used to have a dot mac account as well as a mobile me account . That gave me a @me ID. All my work stationary and all printed matter as my @me ID.
Up until recently I could use both @mac and @me.
Now I CAN use @me from my laptop.
However, on my iPhone, the iCloud locks in my ID as @mac. I just cannot change it. I have written to apple and called even. All recepients of mail sent from my iPhone reply asking if I have changed my mail address and wonder if they are receiving mail from the right person. My bank just ignores all mail from @mac because they have @me registered. Too many people and too much of my stationary as @me.
I am really bothered and frustrated.
Can someone please help? I will be so grateful. HOW CAN I CHANGE MY 'DEFAULT ' ICLOUD ID FROM @mac to @me. ( I don't even know how iCloud suddenly decided to lock in with @mac!!)the problem is really on the iPhone.
the icloud mail account set up will NOT ALLOW me to change my e mail address. It takes on @mac by default and that is that. i have twice deleted the account and reset it . No dice.
for the oddest reason Apple had decided my Apple ID is @mac. That by default is becoming the iCloud email as well. I just cannot change it.
Thanks for trying to help. But as you can see. Not working -
My iTunes won't open! It keeps saying 'The iTunes Library.itl is locked on a locked disk or you not have write permission for this file.' Please Help!
this may happen on external drives if:
The external drive was hotpluged (removed) without going the correct "eject" way
The iTunes library (database) got corrupted
First Aid for external drive
Close iTunes
Unmount (eject) external drive the right way.
Mount drive again
Go to Workplace -> right click external drive -> choose "clean up" This will force the filesystem to rescan the file structure of the drive and rebuilding the file system table and journaling file.
After the tool shows "done" (could last some time depending on size of drive) restart iTunes
If your iTunes library is on your internal drive, this may happen
The system was not shoot down correct, e.g. "pulled the plug"
The iTunes library (database) got corrupted
First Aid for internal hard drive
Close iTunes
Reboot system
Go to Workplace -> right click external drive -> choose "clean up"
After the tool shows "done" (could last some time depending on size of drive)
Reboot system, restart iTunes
If none of the above fixes your problem, post here.

I have tried

Any other suggestions?Update your safari. Install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1569
