Hey jtom234412,
Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like your device is not detected in iTunes for Windows. The following resource may help resolve this issue:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Furthermore, if your device is in recovery mode (displaying an iTunes symbol, with a plug), see the relevant information under Step 5.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Not a nice answer!
Posting "Check the 'More like this'" area and not simply providing the answer is a great way to make these groups worthless.
You're ignoring context. On the old Apple Discussion Groups I never posted replies like that, instead giving people relatively detailed answers. The new Apple Support Communities made things worse by introducing certain inefficiencies. Then came Lion. The flood of messages that came with Lion required a painful choice for any of the people who had been helping here: (1) Give quality responses to a few questions and ignore the rest. (2) When applicable, give a brief answer such as the one that you found objectionable. (3) Give up all the other normal activities of life and spend full time trying to answer questions here.
People who needed help with Lion problems seemed to have trouble discovering existing message threads that described how to solve their problems. I never posted the suggestion of "Check the 'More like this' area" without verifying that the help that the poster needed could be found there. Even doing that, what I posted saved me time that I could use to help someone else.
The people helping here are all volunteers. None of them is being paid for the time they spend here. They all have a life outside of Apple Support Communities. It's arrogant of you to demand that people helping here spend more time than they already do.

Updated my IOS 7 now some of my games are not work, how can I fix this problem?

I have updated my Ipad to the IOS 7 and now some of my games/apps are not working, how can i fix this or revert back to what I had before?

I'm afraid you'll have to wait until both Apple and the makers of your games/apps upgrade to new versions.
Apparently there are still some issues with iOS7 that are being dealt with and the same with some apps.
As for going back, I don't think you will be able to get this information from these forums...

You're really posting in the wrong forum. you should be posting here ( https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_store ) Or calling apple support directly.

Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly. Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync. Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.

Solutions?

No, I never really found an easy solution. I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device. In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs. A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup. It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad. But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost. When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might. If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it. I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by.

HT203977 i have an new apple air gold and i cannot get it to log on.

I have a new apple air gold. I cannot get it to log on. it is saying on front of ipad , ipad is disabled. connect to iTunes. I cannot connect to iTunes if I cannot get it to come on

It means you need to connect the iPad to a computer running iTunes. It is disabled for some reason and will need to be restored from a computer.

My iPhone asks me to sign into apple id's that are not mine- how do I stop this?

My iPhone asks me often to put in a password for apple id's that are not mine. Some of the ones that pop up are for people that I don't even know. Why does this happen and how do I stop it? Thanks!

Hi Friend,
You must have all apps downloaded by your Apple ID, otherwise you will still facing this problem. Delete the apps you did not download by yourself and download them again. I will fix your problem.
By the way, your device is configurate with your Apple ID? Check it in: Settings>>iTunes Store and App Store
Hope it will be helpful

You are not authorized to make purchases of this InApp in Sandbox at this time

Hello,
Our app is experiencing an unusual bug.
Some users are relating that when trying to do an InApp purchase of our service they are seeing a pop-up with the following message:
We can reproduce this behavior in some test devices we have. We tested on iPhone 5, 5s and 6 (the ones we have) with iOS 8.1, 8.0 and 7.1.
But it is not happen every time. On another devices we tested too, we could purchase with no problems. Also, our revenue on iTunes Connect continues to increase and we can check on our database purchases from the latest zoo version.
Even though the latest version of our app was released on February 13th, this behavior started to happen yesterday (Feb 25th).
The message is showing on the version from App Store with normal Apple IDs (no Sandbox IDs).
Has anyone had this problem or know a solution?

My iPhone won't connect with my computer or charge. How can I fix this?

My iPhone won't connect with my computer. It also will not charge. I changed the white charging cord, but I have the same problem. I connected other devices to the USB and they work. It's strictly the iPhone.
How can I correct this?

I forgot to mention, the iPhone does charge via wall plug.

Layers in my PDF which are switched to visible are not showing - how do I solve this?

I am creating MXD files in Arc GIS, and then exporting them to Adobe Professional 8. I am merging layers within Adobe Pro, and then switching the initial view so that only 4 out of the ~10 layers are visible when the PDF is first opened. However, on opening the PDF, layers which are set to be visible (the eye symbol is appearing next to them) are not visible. This is only happening for some layers, in some of the PDFs. Also, as I switch on more layers in the PDF then the layer which should have been visible but was not does eventually appear. I would be very grateful for any suggestions on why this is happening / how to solve it. Thanks.

I'm not sure if this setting exists in version 8, but check to see if Allow Layer State To Be Set By User Information is selected in the Documents Preferences. If it is not selected, Layer Properties dialog box settings, other than Layer Name and Default State, are ignored.

Once I add my .swf to Dreamweaver, the buttons are not clickable, how can I fix this?

Hello there,
I'd just like to start out by saying that this is the first time I have posted on these forums, so if I have done anything wrong, I apologize!
Anyway, about my question, just like the title says, once I import the .swf into Dreamweaver the buttons are not clickable, however when tested outside of Dreamweaver, they work correctly.
Basically I have an animated banner with some audio and two buttons, the buttons mute and unmute the music.
The file consists of two layers, one of which has 2 keyframes, the first keyframe has the Audio with the settings; "Effect: None. Sync: Start, Loop" and a button leading to the next frame.
The next keyframe (still on layer one) has much of the same but the Audio settings are different; "Effect: None. Sync: Stop, repeat x 1" and this will stop the music.
Now on the other layer (Rocket) I have a movie clip of a space-themed background and a rocket flying across it, the movie clip is made up of a motion tween and another movie clip which is the rocket.
I am using Flash CS6 and Dreamweaver CS6 on a Windows 7 computer. I am also using Actionscript 2.0
I apologize for the amount of information and I'm not very briliant at explaining things, so here are some images of the flash file, hopefully they'll help;
Layer setup - http://i.imgur.com/iZHwfAw.jpg
The movie clip - http://i.imgur.com/ayvPJUZ.jpg
Keyframe one sound settings - http://i.imgur.com/LWbnQhO.jpg
Keyframe two sound settings - http://i.imgur.com/7kS9dO2.jpg
Actionscript for the first button/first keyframe - http://i.imgur.com/x6ROqPv.jpg - (The second button/keyframe has the same code, but obviously the instance name and frame number has been changed)
Again, I apologise if this all seems confusing!
Thanks in advance for any answers to this question
Adam.

If you did not create this swf yourself then you won't be able to do what I am suggesting. If you did, then open the fla in Flash and go into the Publish Settings and select the option to publish an html file as an output. That will create an html page that embeds the Flash file. Test that file in your browser and see if it plays properly. IF so, then copy that code in place of whatever Dreamweaver did to embed the Flash.
Dreamweaver is not a reliable tool for embedding Flash content... why it does not do it the same way Flash does it is anyone's guess.

With this new itunes I see you can download old song from other p.cs if they are listed in your itunes with a could next to them. How do I make it so I see the songs on my new itunes on a different computer?

When I first downloaded itunes 11 I saw all my old song that are on another computer listed in my itunes list on my laptop with a little cloud with an arrow in it next to the songs from my old itunes. When I updated to 11.1 the cloud icon stayed in the top part of the itunes list where you can click name, artist, all that to organize you itunes list but the songs from my old account were gone. I can't remember how, but some how I tuned the songs back on, if you will and all my old songs repaired with the clouds next to them. Well my boyfriend has the cloud smiple in his organize list thing, but no songs from his old itunes list of a different computer like me and he wants those songs back. I have been trying for hours to re-watch the itunes and icloud tutorials but because of my slow wi-fi I can't get the videos to load and they keep freezing my itunes so I can't even shut it down without restarting my laptop, so I need some help on remebering how to make the old songs show up in his itunes. Can anyone please help? By the way we both have Windows 7.

If you go to settings>music there should be a setting to show all music. Turn that off, and the cloud purchases should disappear. You may need to restart the phone to take efect

Suddenly I can,t play certain songs from my itune libary as they are connected to my old e mail address of 5 yrs ago . how do i get you to link the 2

Suddenly i can,t play certain songs from my libary as they are connected to an old e mail address of 5 yrs ago . How do i merge them together ?

I had this problem yesterday (or a very similar problem). When you click on your purchased song, an old email address (Apple Account ID) pops up and asks for an old password to authorize permission. It is very stubborn and does not really co-operate when using the usual remedies (forgot password - send me an email - what is your birthday, etc). I fumbled around and eventually got it all straightened out. I can tell you what I did - I cannot tell you what exactly worked. Access your current Apple Itunes account. Deauthorize all computers (up to 4 or 5 in total, I forget...) that can play your purchased music. Update your password. Close your account and Itunes. Open Itunes and try your new password. Now try the "old" music that would not play before - your "old" email/Account ID should still pop-up asking for a password. Delete the old email/ID and put in your current one. Then use your new password to activate. This should solve the problem of old ID / old Password / no permission. My apologies for the imprecise method, again I am not sure exactly WHAT worked here - all I know is that the Itunes Help sections and tutorials were good - but of no use in this case.
Cheers
