HT1923 I have a family of 7...5 of us all have either an Apple Ipod or Iphone and all of us have trouble plugging our devices into the computer n connecting to itunes!...What can we do to fix this????!!!!!!!!

I have a family of seven. Five of us all have Apple Ipods or Iphones. Everytime there is a new update for itunes or any of us try to plug our devices into the computer to hook up to itunes we all have problems or it won't let us!...It's getting to the point that we don't want to continue spending hundreds of dollars on Apple products that keep giving us problems. How can this problem be fixed???!!!

What is the problem? We cant help if you dont tell us what the problem is.
Do you get an error message? Do you plug the devices in and nothing happens? Is content not syncing?
Can you elaborate more please?

    Sorry just re-read your original post and realized that my answer doesn't address you problem:
    "If the problem is that Safari won't display a login screen when started, try going to a different website than is displayed when you start Safari.  When I have this problem, I select another website from my bookmarks and am redirected to the login screen. It's strange, but it works."
    So..., what is happening that it won't let you login?  Keyboard not popping up?  Website won't accept input?

    Go to the folder with you Lightroom Catalog (usually in Pictures) and delete the folder ending in .lrpreviews
    This contains the previews for the files Lightroom has linked to. They will need to be rebuilt which can be done while working or selecting an amount you want to rebuild and accessing the rebuild command in the Library Dropdown menu...

    I don't think this is an iCloud issue- it is the latest release of Safari. Firefox attachments are still correctly downloaded.
    This needs some interest from Apple techs.

  • My iPod Touch 4G won't automatically connect to any wifi networks and freezes whenever I try to connect manually. What can I do to fix this?

    This has happened once before and fixed itself overnight somehow, but this time it's been over 24 hours and hasn't fixed itself. I can't even check was OS I have as a result. I'm not very tech savvy so I don't know how to fix it at all. This iPod was actually a hand-me-down from a friend of mine.
    I've tried switching it to Airplane Mode in order to turn off the wifi entirely and then switching back but that hasn't helped. What can I do to fix this?

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network       
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • When I merge one project with another, Aperture for some strange reason, randomly scrambles the photos from the project being merged, instead of keeping them in the order they were shot. What can I do to fix this?

    When I merge one project with another, Aperture 3 randomly scrambles the photos of the project being merged, instead of keeping them in the chronological order that I shot them in. What can I do to correct this?

    The photos have just been dumped into a new home and need to be told how to be arranged.  Go to the top left of the browser view for the merged project and select the desired sort order from the drop-down and they'll all sort according to that setting.

  • CANNON EOS 7D get message as "cannot connect with battery" What can i do to fix this problem?

     when i turn on the camera  and its trying to read the battery the message i get is " cannot connect with battery"  i thought it was a defective battery and went out and bought a new one and still kept getting the same message.  what can i do ? Does anybody been through this situation from what i hear this is common on the CANNON EOS 7D models only why is that?

    Yes! It is a factory defect and Canon should recall 7D and 60D for this problem in stead to charge $230 for their own quality issue. I have 7D and not using it that often, it shows the same error message. Cleaning can not fix it at all! It was the soldering bad point at the battery and the little circuit board next to it, based on an engineer who repaired it by himself. Canon pro's: If you guys are cate about the Name of Canon then take these cameras back and fix them for free! Otherwise, the customers will switch to Nikon soon.

  • Still having WiFi connectivity issues. What can I do to fix this?

    I have the new Macbook Air 2013, and since day one i have had WiFi connectivity issues. I know that this problem has been worked on and that a recent release of an update could help fix this problem. However; nothing for me has changed. I connect to my home internet and sooner or later my MBA disconnects and i have to reconnect it by either turning the WiFi on and off or going into network diagnostics. The time of my Air actually being connected varies from a coulpe second to a couple minutes and occasionally I may get 30 to 45 minutes before a disconnect.
    If you could help it would be much appreciated.

    That statement is unfounded, actually. ALL of those currently with wifi issues are able to connect via their iphone hotspot, or by means of their homebase AIRPORT base station, .....indicative of a software/ firmware issue.
    Most dont consider a minor software/firmware issue an empirical defect, anymoreso than "forgetting something" is an empirical defect in a human being is.
    The "speaker issue" is now uttterly proven a simple software issue, soon to be fixed, same is the case with the wifi issue.
    You're forgetting that Apples 802AC  wifi is "next generation"  'tomorrows' technology. That a minor bug exists, soon to be fixed, is understandable.    Look on the bright side, ....the Macbook AIR is #1 seller and most beloved superbook out there for many reasons

  • Everytime I plug my device into the computer it does not open in itunes. What do I do?

    After I dwnloaded the update for iTunes, I been having trouble tryig to connect my device to iTunes and I do not know whtto do?

    When there are photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll, the iPhone is also recognized as a digital camera when connected to your computer or should if there is not a problem with the computer.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Working-with-digital-pictures
    Whichever method you choose, Windows should automatically recognize your camera or card reader when you plug it into your computer (if it doesn't, see Troubleshoot camera connection problems or Tips for solving problems with USB devices).

  • I'm trying to sync my device to itunes. It keeps telling me to click the device button but for me it doesn't show up. I've already upgraded itunes. Also whenever I plug my device into the computer itunes never shows up. How do I make it do that? Thanks!

    I need help with a few things....
    1.) My ipod touch (5th gen) was doing what i believe was an ios7 update when i stopped it becuz it was taking forever. After that the screen just said connect to itunes. I've looked up how to fix it and i know it would work but there is a few things...I dont ever use my ipod for music. Just for apps and stuff and I have never connected it to itunes or anything. I need help making it so when i connect my ipod to the computer it starts syncing. But when I follow the directions for that, it says go to the device button and I dont have that option...Help!!
    2.) In all the help videos, it says to do the slide to turn off thing but my ipod never lets me!! It does turn off though.
    Theres a few other things. I need to know if this problem can be fixed if I can't find a way to fix the things i just said. Or if there is somebody that I can have repair it for me. Also if I have a warranty with Best Buy, I need to know if this could be covered. This was a gift from my boyfriend for Christmas and I  use it a lot. I don't wanna have to buy a new one especially if this isn't a problem that can't be fixed. Thank you guys so much!!

  • Hey everyone, im trying to factory restore a mac i just bought. but its saying my apple id is incorrect, so i made a new one but its saying the new one hasnt been used with itunes, what can i do to fix this?

    Please help!

    If you bought it used, try the internet recovery suggested - using Command + Option + R and then wiping your drive before reinstalling is the only way to disassociate the OS and apps from the previous owner's Apple ID. You can then add your own apps, upgrade, etc. using your own Apple ID.
    If it's new, then there is an entirely different problem as your Apple ID should work.

  • Search doesn't find the words water or plants!  What can I do to fix this?

    OK, you're not going to believe this.  Search cannot find any events with the words water or plants in them!  Here's the background.  I had multiple calendar entries for "Water Plants".  I deleted one, then deleted the other.  I then entered a new event called "Water Plants."  Search does not find it.  It finds every other event, but not that one.
    Now, here comes the even stranger part.  I added the word stargaze in front of the entry--so it reads "Stargaze water plants" -- and it finds the event if I search for stargaze.  In fact, I can add virtually anything in front of water plants and it finds it.  It'll even find "Warm water plants" (search for "warm") but not "water plants" or "water water plants."
    I've tried several things.  I  did the home button--power button hold til restart, no change.  I synched via iTunes; no change.  I've deleted the event, switched to a different day, and added it again.  No dice.   I've turned off and on again the Events option in Spotlight Seach setting.  No luck.  I even reordered the search items (putting events at the top of the search or in different places).
    It also won't find the event if I search for just "plants".    I just created two additional events:  "Plants" and "Warm water" and it cannot find them if I search for "water" or "plants".  "Wa" "Pl", etc. do not work.  Create "Stargaze" again and I can find it.
    Any ideas?  It's as if my having deleted two events deleted the words (and subsets of letters) from the Spotlight Search vocabulary.

    Try: Settings>General>Spotlight Search...remove the checks next to every item, then reset your phone: Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release. Now, go back into Settings & turn back on what items you want for Spotlight Search.
