  • HT204053 when trying to sync my iPhone i get a message saying : iTunes can't sync apps to iPhone because the apps installed on the phone could not be determine. what is going on?

    when trying to sync my iPhone i get a message saying : iTunes can't sync apps to iPhone because the apps installed on the phone could not be determine. what is going on?

    I received the same error message after I had recently updated iTunes to 10.5.1 and I had wirelessly updated 13 apps.  I had to go into iTunes and select Apps, on the bottom right it said I needed to update 13 apps.  I updated the apps via iTunes and then synced again without an issue.

  • HT1766 backup couldn't be saved in this computer?

    when backup before updating to ios6 this messagr faliure alert:
    backup couldn't be saved in this computer?

    Hi. This worked for me after months of trying many different fixes. Give it a shot.
    Locate the iTunesPrefs.xml on your PC. In Windows XP the iTunesPrefs.xml location is:
    C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes
    or:
    C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes.
    With iTunes closed, I renamed this file from iTunesPrefs.xml to iTunesPrefs.xml.backup in both locations. Then I opened iTunes, connected my iPhone, and the backup was successful.
    Note that doing this will force iTunes to recreate the iTunesPrefs.xml file with all it's default settings. Any user preferences you may have set within iTunes will be removed. You will need to set any user defined preferences again.
    Let me know if this works for you.

  • When I open iTunes it is slow to open for one, and two when it does see my iPhone and i go to sync it this is what I get in return... The iPhone "My Name here" could not be synced because the iPhone could not be found on the network. that is a pop up box

    When I open iTunes it is slow to open for one, and two when it does see my iPhone and i go to sync it this is what I get in return... The iPhone "My Name here" could not be synced because the iPhone could not be found on the network. that is a pop up box in middle of screen that says that it does it like every time I go to sync the phone after i do app updates. I am getting very frustrated by this can someone please help. I have made 2 other discussion topics about this and no replies on them. Please if anyone can help I ask for help. This has occurred ever since the iOS 5.1 update and the iTunes 10.6.0 and still continues with the iTunes 10.6.1 update just yesterday and perhaps even worse now. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. I have looked through my network settings etc and everything looks good here on my side.

    Hopefully this will help you.  Try placing your iPad in recovery mode again.  You may have to try this a few times.

  • What happens when an iPod is synchronized with an iTunes library that is bigger than the available space on the iPod?

    What happens when an iPod is synchronized with an iTunes library that is bigger than the available space on the iPod? I did this some time ago. On screen was shown available space somewhat less than 120 GB, but maybe somewhere between 10 and 20 GB more in the library. I had to get the iPod updated anyway, so I did proceed. However, afterwards the total content of the library was only about 110 GB. Now I wonder what did actually happen. Was the first sign only corrected for double copies of the same files or lost files or where files deleted from iTunes? And if files where deleted from iTunes, were they also deleted from my computer?

    Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one.  Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.

    Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
    When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
    Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
    It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

  • I am using a Canon 640 printer and my MPNavigator will not remain open.  It pops open then quickly closes.  I've used it for several years but it just started doing this.  What can I do to fix this problem?

    I am using a Canon 640 printer and my MPNavigator will not remain open.  It pops open then quickly closes.  I've used it for several years but it just started doing this.  What can I do to fix this problem?

    I had a similar problem with a Canon MP800R under Mac OS X 10.9.2 Mavericks.
    In my case, the MP Navigator app in the dock was linking to the wrong file.
    It linked to Applications > MP Navigator 2.1.app > Contents > Resources > MP Navigator.app, but it should link to the "main" app, probably under Applications > MP Navigator 2.1.app.
    After pulling the correct MP Navigator app file to the dock, I can start MP Navigator again by clicking on it in the dock. However, when clicking on it, a second MP Navigator icon will show up in the dock and stay there until the app is closed. By the way, the MP800R scanner also works (although officially not supported by Canon).

  • Suddenly all my albums in Photos are blank.  The photos are still in the camera roll but not in the albums.  What happened and how do I recover them all?  Are they in my icloud?  Also the photos are clear as thumprints but when I touch it to zoom are blur

    Suddenly all my albums in Photos are blank.  The photos are still in the camera roll but not in the albums.  What happened and how do I recover them all?  Are they in my icloud?  Also the photos are clear as thumprints but when I touch it to zoom are blurry.  what gives?  They were all completely clear and in the albums when I last used my ipad??  Would doing the "Reset" under General settings do that?  When I returned from Europe I reset my ipad to get it in the right time zone etc. 

    Reboot.   Press and hold the home and sleep buttons until the apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider.

  • What happens to my music when I unsubscribe from iTunes Match?

    What happens to my music when I unsubscribe from iTunes Match? Can I still access it and iTunes just stops matching new songs I add or is the whole thing not accessible anymore to download or play?

    iTunes 7 will convert your existing library, but iTunes 6 and earlier will not recognize the new library format.

  • All my email has disappeared from iCloud.  I did not delete it, and now it's working again, but only from 28 August 2013.  What happened to my old emails? How do I get them back? thanks

    All my email has disappeared from iCloud.  I did not delete it, and now it's working again, but only from 28 August 2013.  What happened to my old emails? How do I get them back? thanks

    Have you checked whether the emails are visible at http://icloud.com ? If they are, it's a problem between your Mac and the website; sign out in System Preferences>iCloud and sign back in again.
    If they aren't, then it's a server problem and you need to contact Support. If you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
    If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee; if so you should argue that this is a problem they've caused (it's not the first time, by the way) and you shouldn't be charged.

  • I have a mac mini with a web cam/microphone and would like to be able to facetime with my families iPhones 4S/5 using wi-fi email address.  I can't call the iPhones from the Mac Mini with Mountain Lion OS.  What is wrong?

    I am trying to include a Mac Mini with a webcam/microphone to call several family iPhones 4S/5 usisng email addresses vice phone numbers so that we can communicate from outside the US via iPhone to the US (Mac Mini) via wi-fi and email addresses.  We are using the same email address for the Mac Mini as for Itunes and made new email addresses for each of the iPhones.  I cannot receive calls from the iPhones but can call the iPhones from the Mac Mini.  what needs to be corrected?
    Thanks.

    As you didn't say what kind of computer, what operating system, or what version of iTunes it is very hard to give any meaningful advice. You might start with these:
