  • I have an Iphone 5S and used to sync it to my computer in the past without any problem, but now I can't and appears the message "usb device not recognized", and the cable is good and so the USB port. Do you have any idea what's the problem?

    Try leaving it plugged in and then restart the computer.

    OKay, here is the deal. You cannot change the location of encrypted files nor can you share them with other machines. There is no file server for iTunes so even if you export the movie index from iTunes to an external volume, each time you reboot your computer itunes has to reindex the external drive every time you want to access the files. The second you run your mobile computer without the external drive or try to access the HD movies from another device or another user on the same network, the indexing gets out of synch. The entire process is self defeating regardless. The HD movies are encapsulized by apple to stream to your devices via iCloud and NOT via Cloud. Only your TV can play 1080p. That single file you download from iTunes has mutiple versions of the same video in the capsul, one version for each type of apple device. There are no 1080p apple devices except for the Apple TV. When you buy a movie you are buying a license and not the movie. It's going to get worse with all the new copywrite laws. Already you cant share any apple devices with other itunes accounts. Your airport express just stopped streaming music to all users on the local home sharing Cloud. Only the one user for each device and soon only airplay speakers connected directly to the device. No more passthru via your TV and no more file sharing with other accounts on the same wi-fi. All the ISPs are doing the same thing. And soon everybody will be buying their phones and TV's and iPads from the cabble guy.
    Apple has done a poor job of educating the consumer as to the difference between the Cloud and iCloud. They are not the same at all.

  • HT1386 I am getting an error message that syncing failed to start.  Any ideas why?

    I am getting an error message that syncing failed to start.  Any ideas why.  The ipad is working fine.

    Then I tried to download and install them again but it kept saying the old itunes could not be removed.
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I get an error message that sync failed to start

    When I try to sync my Ipod Touch it shows that it is waiting to sync but then I get an error message that sync failed to start.  I have tried restore and re starting my computer but I still get the same message, what is going on and how do I fix it? Please help!

    Quit iTunes, restart your computer, restart your iPad and try again. If it doesn't work with a restart of the iPad, try a reset of the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    Restart. If an application won't quit and prevents restarting, select
     ▹ Force Quit...
    from the menu bar, then select the frozen application from the list and press return. As a last resort, force a shutdown by holding down the power button for a few seconds. Then press it again briefly to start up. Test.

  • Hello I went to wipe my 1st generation iPad and then tried to update the iOS now the iPad won't work at all any ideas what I can do?

    Hello I went to wipe my 1st generation iPad and then tried to update the iOS now the iPad won't work at all any ideas what I can do?

    You can't update the original iPad beyond iOS 5.1.1 so if you were already running that version, there was no reason to wipe the iPad to try to update.
    Won't work at all, doesn't tell me the whole story. Does it power up but not respond to anything? Does it not power up at all? Some detailed information in context would really be helpful.
    IF the device will not start up, try a reset. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.

  • My apple TV box is not working. The light blinks but the TV only shows the apple picture and nothing happens. Any ideas what is wrong?

    My apple TV is not working. The light blinks but the TV only shows the apple picture and nothing happens. Any idea why?

    James,
    Thank you for the information. I did what you said but it is still not working. My apple box works with my wifi so I think the wife was disconnected and I can't figure out where to go to set up the wifi pass word for the apple box. Any hits would be appreciated if not my next step is to ship back the box to apple.
    Thanks,

  • My iPad and iPod touch won't play the music I choose. Has anyone any idea what the problem could be?

    Hi,
    Since the IOS 5.0 update my iPad 2 and iPod touch (3e generation) won't play the music I choose. I choose a song from Michael Jackson for example and it's going to play something completely different. The images has changed aswel, so it is a bit strange.
    I treind to sincronise them again, but this doesn't change a thing. Has anyone any idea what could be the problem and how to solve it?
    Kind Regards,
    Ward

    So just in case anyone else ever runs into this...
    I solved the issue and it was that between the plug of the new earbuds being slightly thicker than the Apple earpods, and the width of the case that I was using for my iPod, there wasn't a connection being made to activate the remote function.
    I took off the case and now the earbuds work exactly as they should!

  • TS3276 Mail app is starting to substitute content from older emails instead of the content I'm actually sending.  Any idea what's happening?

    I upgraded to Mavericks about 6 weeks ago.  Starting 2 weeks ago when I send an email and check in the "sent" folder that it has been sent I notice that the content has been substituted.  Instead of what I just wrote the sent email contains content from an older unrelated email.  Any idea what's going on and especially what I can do about it?
    Thanks Rex

    Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox.

  • My ipad2 email suddenly stopped showing the messages detail in all my email accounts, only subject is shown; if I do a reply or forward detail is shown; I have version 5.1 (9B176)

    My ipad2 email suddenly stopped showing detail of message only subject is shown, this happens with my 3 email accounts (icloud, hotmail, exchange); if I do reply or forward detail is shown.

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if the email text shows when you re-open the Mail app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT1296 My iphone wont sync and all I get is a message saying that the sync session failed to start, any ideas on what I do next?

    Pretty much as above, when I plug my iphone in it just comes up with the message saying the sync session failed to start and thats all I can get out of it :/
    Any ideas on what I need to do to get my iphone to talk to my itunes again please?

    Hi hblower,
    As a first step, I would suggest quitting your open apps:
    iOS: Force an app to close

    Then sign out of iTunes:
    iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311?viewlocale=en_US
    Restart and/or reset the device:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

    Are you running the latest version of iTunes?  If not, update the software and try syncing again …

  • HT1926 I tried to download the latest version of iTunes but now seem to have lost everything and can not access my library at all. Instead i keep on receiving the message 'Application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. I cannot access

    I tried to download the latest version of iTunes but failed half way through. It suggested that i reinstall we I tried. However, i now get this message which states "Application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem"
    I have tried this but with no success. I have therefore found that I cannot access my iTunes library at all now.
    What should I do.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.
