HT1688 What is "Apple Mobile Device" and how do I get it on my iphone 5? My iphone is not syncing when plugged in. The message says I have not started the device.

What is "Apple Mobile Device" and is it loaded/activated on the iphone 5?

I suspect you mean that you are getting the iTunes error message that the Apple Mobile Device Service is not started, in which case you need to follow the steps show in item #4 at the bottom of this article to restart it: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.

    If you have failed to make sure that any apps purchased on the iphone were transferred to your computer before updating, then you will have to redownload.
    Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links.

  • What is JS.Agent-58 and how do I get rid of it?

    Hello.  I just ran a ClamXAv scan and it came up with a trojan called JS.Agent-58.  It's the weirdest thing because it is in a file I would never expect it to be in.  I buy a lot of things online and I do not print my receipts.  Instead I save them as PDF files.  The Trojan is in a Macy's PDF saved receipt from November.  I have no idea how it got there.  Anyway, if I delete the receipt, will that be enough.  Can somebody tell me what exactly this particular Trojan does and how to tell if it has been downloaded on my computer.  And, will someone tell me how to completely remove this Trojan from my computer, if it is indeed on my computer?  Please and Thank You.

    First a couple of tips:
    As I mentioned to the OP, for fastest, most efficient answers to questions such as this, visit the ClamXav Forum.
    Secondly, nobody but the OP and I will probably ever see your posting here. Only those who post or choose to follow a discussion will ever notice a new posting. For future issues, if you don't find the answer in an older discussion, then you will always be better off posting a new topic which will attract attention from other troubleshooters who are currently on line. That's just the way the forum works best.

    ClamXav has identified a virus which I seem to have gotten in August 2014 called JS Agent-58 that is NOT in my mail but is a Page.webarchive filename.  I have rescanned and had it quarantined but what do I do now and how did I get it in the first place?
    I would need to know where it came from originally in order to have any idea how you got it. That information may still be in you scan log, so here is how to find it:
    In ClamXav open the Scan Log by clicking the icon on the tool bar
    When the "clamXav-scan.log" (or "ClamXav-scan.log" for the App Store version) window opens, you will only be looking at the only the most recent results
    Select Find->Find from the Edit menu or type Command-F
    Type "FOUND" in all caps and without the quotes in the Find box
    Uncheck the "Ignore case" box and hit enter
    Click the "Next" button or type Command-G until you find what you are looking for
    If it doesn't show up in the most recent results, use the "▲ Earlier|" button in the lower right corner of the window to move back through the log.
    Copy the entire line and paste it into a reply back here.
    There is an easier way to do this using the Terminal app, but I would need to know which version of ClamXav (App Store or web site) you used to find it.
    Be sure you read general guidance in Dealing with infected files. Moving it to quarantine has disabled it. You should probably make sure this isn't a file you need before moving it to the Trash Can, but that would be next. It's always possible this is a false alarm, but I doubt it.
    Hopefully you have already read my analysis of what this is and understand there is close to zero chance it could affect your computer.

  • HT1316 what is a puk code and how do i get a sim code for my ipad 1

    what is a PUK coade and how do i get a sim code for my ipad !? i was factory restoring my ipad and received a box asking for the puk and sim code? please help i am totally locked out.

    If you don't know the PIN or PUK, you'll need to contact your cell carrier for assistance and perhaps a replacement SIM.
    For the short term, if you remove the SIM you may then be able to get into your iPad, though I'm not certain. It's worth a try, though.
    Regards.

  • ITunes music files cannot be edited, and new music files imported.  The messages says I do not have enough access privileges even though I am the administrator of the system.

    Since installing the latest version of iTunes all my music files cannot be edited, and I cannot import new music files into iTunes.  The messages says I do not have enough access privileges even though I am the administrator of the system.  If anyone can help me sort this out I would be really grateful.  I have checked the read and write privileges for all the iTunes folders and it all seems in order so I can't understand it.
    In general, I am getting really frustrated with Apple.  They seem to be getting ever more controlling in their approach to their consumers.  I need to edit music file information as I am a dj.  And why can't I import music, unless I buy it from iTunes?  Most of all, why can't I use the devices I paid a lot of money for in the way I want to use them, and not be forced to coerced to use apple's fee paying services (iCloud, iTunes).
    I have used apple computers since the early 1990's, but in the last year I have gotten rid of my iPhone and my iPad and replaced them with Android devices.  Much better and much less control.  Perhaps it is time to switch from Apple altogether.

    Try syncing the iPhone to iTunes. If it doesn't appear, then log in to your account and check Purchased.
