Apple does not support downgrading the iOS. If you try installing an earlier iOS you get the error message. Apple only supports installing/restoring to iOS 6.0.1 on the 4G and 5G iPods.

  • I have a new computer. I installed iTunes. I have authorized the computer for my iPad. But, when I click Sync - it wants to erase the ipad

    It is absolute garbage that I would need to erase this ipad. GARBAGE programing. Stupid, non-user friendly, dumb, idiotic (trying not to cuss here!)
    There has to be a simplier way then transfer purchases (done), backup (done) then restore...any pray it all makes it back on the iPad?!
    Why is it not as simple as authorizing computer, transfer purchases, and then click sync? What am I missing here?

    Did you not bring all your important data over from your old computer? Do you have a backup of the iTunes library that you can restore? If not, then its not to late, just more work that it should be.
    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • I have downloaded iOS 6 to my iTunes but I have clicked "Download Only" not "Download and Update" how do i install/sync it to my iPad. Please help me, its taken me hours to download it i don't want to do it again :(

    PLEASE HELP ME!!!

    Hook your iPad into your computer and open iTunes. GIve it a couple of minutes to get going, then click on the name of your device, then the main summary page. In the middle you'll see a software update button/area. Click on check on updates and update and follow the prompts.
    it SHOULDN"T redownload but if you've already got it should just install.
    I'd suggest that you first do a complete sync before you update, that way you have a good backup to restore your device from if the upgrade doesn't go perfect.

  • Some of the songs I have downloaded onto i tunes won't play when I select it to do so.  The error message I get is "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found.  Would you like to locate it?"  How can I get my songs to play?

    Some of the songs I have downloaded into i tunes won't play when I select it to do so.  The error message I get is "The song can not be used because the original file can not be found.  Would you like to locate it?"  When I select yes I'm sent to a screen that has my i tunes library listed.  When I select the song in question I'm asked if I would like to open the song.  When I select this option I get nothing.  The songs I have downloaded must be somewhere because they are listed in my i tunes library and on the screen I've been sent to.  I can't the songs to play however.  This is not true of all of my songs but it is true of quite a few of them.  Actually, one song is too many.    How do I get my music to play that seems to be locked up somewhere in the computer?

    Presuming they're on your computer, right click on them and then follow the prompts to locate hte file on your computer.

    I downloaded the new version of bridge and it wont open the raw files on my mac.

    hello and thank you for your suggestion. I have tried it and, when trying to open a program which I previously was able to, still get the following message:
    Remote XUL
    This page uses an unsupported technology that is no longer available by default in Firefox.
    Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
    Seems unbelievable that I previously had no problem and now I do. Have you any suggestions to overcome this? Do you think I can go back further in Firefox history to get a version that will make it possible to access this. Many thanks! Lynn

    Hello,
    sometimes the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
    And if it doesn't work still after that, as much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
    Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
    I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
    Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html   and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
    If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html or http://helpx.adobe.com/de/contact.html and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.
    Good luck!

    Help.

    Then the next step would be to restore your phone.  My advice is that prior to restoring you import your photos and videos to your computer and back up your contacts (by syncing them with iCloud or to a supported program on your computer using iTunes) as a number of users report losing these when restoring their device.

    When opening a filn in illusrtator CC I have memory plroble,.  Opening the same file in CS5 does not make problems.
    How can I get in contact with an adobe employee, where I can finally solve my problem with CC (with whom I can send email back and forth or who calls me)... On my PC CC does not work well... I often need to use my old CS5 version.

    You have not provided any proper system info, so nobody can even guess.

    You do exactly that.  Contact iTunes Support.  it could be as easy as the wrong address on the billing account.  But call them/

  • I have downloaded trial for Windows English version, but can't open the Captivate_8_LS21.7z file. I have 32-bit. Will this work or shoudl I redownload?

    I have downloaded trial for Windows English version 1.45GB.
    It has downloaded but I can't open the Captivate_8_LS21.7z file.
    I have 32-bit. Will this work ?

    Hi There,
    In order to download / install Captivate 8 32 bit, you have to download 2 files ( .7z and .exe ) at same location/ folder.
    Once both files downloaded completely then you have to run .exe file and it will extract .7z file first and then it will initialize the installer. You do not have to open .7z file.
    Let me provide you the download links of Captivate 8 32 bit :-
    Open the link mention below in any Web Browser say Internet Explorer
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=captivate
    Sign in with your Adobe id and Password, then you will be redirected to download Web Page of Captivate 8. 
    Do not click on Download. Kindly let that window open as it is.
    Now Copy and paste the link mention below in the new tab/window of the same Web Browser in which you have opened the above link.
    http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/CPTV/8/win32/Captivate_8_LS21.7z
    Then Save the file.
    Do the same for the link mention below and save this .exe file as well.
    http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/CPTV/8/win32/Captivate_8_LS21.exe
    Make sure both the files (.7z and .exe) save/download at the same location/folder.
    NOTE: Wait for both the files to finish download and then run the .exe file.
    Once you run the .exe, it will start extracting the .7z file and will provide Captivate 8 folder on your desktop which will contain setup.exe. Run this setup.exe to install Captivate 8.
    Regards,
    Ajit

  • My itunes library tells me an update for itunes is available, but when I click to download it, nothing happens

    My itunes library tells me that an update is available for itunes, but when I click on the dowload button, nothing happens, and when I check what version of itunes is installed, it has not changed from the older version. In general settings, I have set it to automatically check for downloads, which it does on a regular basis, but is never able to install them.

    Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

    Try this first - 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 - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.
