How do I move a movie I have synced from iTunes into the "Movies" tab of the Video App? I need to access a slideshow I made in IMovies and may not have WiFi. I did it once, but can't figure out how to do it again! The file is an m4v. Thank you!
Im just guessing but it seems like you would have to get your movie into the correct folder on a computer then use iTunes to sync it to your iPad. If you've synced to a computer and have movies then on your computer should be a folder with the movie in it. You could export your iMovie to something like Dropbox then download from Dropbox to the folder you think it needs to be in the sync your iPad again. Again this is just a guess. Others may have a better answer.

The company I work for has given me an iPhone, but I haven't been able to download any apps. I've created an apple ID account, it claimed that it had been verified, but everytime I go to download something, it verifies again and claims there's an error. I've tried this now with 3 different emails, and the message reads: go to the iTunes support page. I've emailed Apple, and they were extremely unhelpful. I was given the most vague responses by Bidyut from the iTunes Store Customer service team. I would just like to be able to use this phone since I'm paying for it.
It might be helpful if you told us exactly what the error was... If you don't give us specifics, the best you're going to get is vague responses.

I have tried restoring the ipod on different computers, one Vista, and one 7. On both, the restore process seems to complete just as it should, until the point where it says "your IPOD will now restart and will appear in listed devices. This IPOD never restarts. The Apple logo just stays on for approximately 30 seconds and then the screen turns off for five or ten seconds and the logo comes back on, over and over for approximately forty five minutes or so, Occasionally the "connect to USB" will come back on, but that is rare. When that does happen, the I-Tunes recognizes it again as an IPOD that needs to complete the restore process. VERRRRRY AGGRAVATING!!!
Time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. It appears you have a hardware problem.

IPhone 3GS Crashes (gets Black Screen with White Apple Logo) Mid Phonecall
For the past week, when I make a phone call and use the speaker, after the call has lasted between 8 and 12 minutes; without warning, everything goes quiet and I get a black screen which displays the white Apple logo (the same as is displayed when you reboot your phone).
After a while, the phone comes back on, I’m not required to enter my SIM Pin and everything seems to work fine(ish) from then onwards.
I have done a reset, restore and resync in iTunes, but this still happens.
It does not seem to matter if the battery is 100% charged or not! I have tried a few battery recalibrations too!
I’ve also noticed a slight sluggishness since the upgrade to iOS4 (for example, when you receive a text message, click to view, there is a noticeable delay where the screen is blank (you can see the lines where messages should be) and then they appear/message opens).
Any ideas?
Cheers in advance.Hey Mac Beep Beep,
As did many out there on iOS4 release day, I plugged my iPhone into the PC, iTunes fired up, the software upgrade was found and installed.
Three iPhones updated in my household, all the same model (3GS 32Gb) and yet none of the others have had the same problems as mine.
On top of having the reboot during phonecall issue, my calendar (historic and future) was wiped, birthdays were added to the calendar from the information held in contacts however some (not all) were showing as a day earlier then they should be (even though they are correct in the contacts entry).
Just to clarify, when I tried to reinstall a verified version of the legacy backup (3x), I used iTunes to reset iPhone, re-active iPhone and restore said legacy back up. This failed in a spectacular way so I had to go back to an iOS4 back up.
Note: I had the problem of phone rebooting mid phonecall before I attempted a rollback to 3x.
Any further advice/ideas?

Several music albums listed in my IPhone 5 music library are listed multiple times, but each one only has a portion of the songs listed. How can I combine them to make one album?
First....Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I am sorry for not getting back to you regarding your suggestion-I had computer issues that just got resolved. Also, this is my first foray into online chat rooms so I have a lot to learn to precisely state my issue! I did as you suggested and all the songs list the same album when I go into each song's "get info". However, I am not sure how to edit as you suggested. When I downloaded this album originally, for some reason it broke up into several albums each with different songs from the original album. I am trying to consolidate them back into one album in my library. I would greatly appreciate further assistance if you can. Also, I do not use "the cloud" to store any data and would like a good source of info on how to do this. Thanks so much for your patience!

My Ipnoe 3gs said it had updates when connected to my laptop, so Ihave let it back up then clicked update. It would not update and said it had an unknown error. Now it is trying to restore but it has been plugged in restoring for over an hour and nothing seems to be happening. Can anyone help?? Please,
Try putting it in recovery mode:

If you can't put it in to recovery mode, try using DFU mode (which is basically recovery mode with iPhones having more serious issues):
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If it does go in to recovery mode but you are still having this issue when restoring it, try it on a different computer.
It is good that you let it back up. After it restores to factory settings, you can then use itunes to restore it from the backup and get your goodies back:

iPhone 4s will not turn on, a screen shows up telling me to connect to iTunes to restore and update to iOs7, but when I try to restore error 2001 comes up and will not let me restore. I still cannot turn my phone on. None of the troubleshooting tips work, help??
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process.
FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue.
In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue.
If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service. -
HELP,,,my iphone 3gs is displaying iturnes plug on screen and when i plug into computer iturnes, it says it needs to be restored but when i click on recover it doesn't complete the task my phone is stuck with itunes plug on screen. please help
Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.
