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):

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:

Best of luck!

Oh, you do have the C2D! That's great!
I'm no technical expert, I just like to help out whenever or wherever I can so... I don't know if this can help you, but let me tell you about how I got my Snow Leopard to run in 64 bit mode. When I got my (late 2008) iMac it was running in 32 bit mode under Tiger (2.4 GHz/Core 2 Duo). I eventually upgraded to Snow Leopard & it was running in 32 bit mode (by default) w/1 GB RAM.
Somewhere along the line, I happened to watch a YouTube Video that showed how to upgrade an iMac's RAM, so I ordered two - 2GB sticks of Crucial RAM and then - under the guidance of the 14 or 15 year-old young man who posted the video on YouTube; wearing a rather fashionable static-electricity-neutralizer-wrist-strap, I removed 1GB of RAM & plugged in the 4GBs of RAM. So - boom like that, it was like I bought a brand new machine.
It was over a year later when I stumbled across a way to boot Snow Leopard into 64 bit mode. Turns out that if you boot while holding down the 6 & 4 key combo (the ones above the QWERTY keys), then the machine runs in 64 bit mode. Go figure. Now my Snow Leopard and just about all of my applications - with the ironic exception of iTunes - runs in 64 bit. iTunes seems fine though; if there's a performance bottleneck, I really can't tell.
Well, that's about it..
I hope that something I've mentioned can help you achieve your overall goal.
Finally, it's hard to jump onto a train, a large cat, or a surfboard that's already moving. But don't be surprised when someone a fraction of your age shows you how to.

Just once or twice

Thanks for the response Steve. I can create a .flv file, I can create an .avi file and I can burn to a file. However, using Premiere, when I drop that .avi into the new timeline and try to burn it to disk, I get the same message" operating system error: number 0x000004c8- The requested operation cannot be performed on a file with a usermap". It would be good to be able to burn from Premiere Elements but I cannot seem to. However, as you suggested, I have a work around.
I've done some research and it seems usermap is connected to Windows 7 permissions and I have had a problem in PE9 accessing files and getting a permissions error. Don't know if this is a PE9 conflict or just a W7 issue. If you have any thoughts, I'd appreciate them. If I find anything further I'll post it here.
Cheers

Firefox5 is not showing BBC iPlayer Video & Radio Other browsers are all fine(Safari,IE,Chrome) The iPlayer webpage is all there but the flash video player is black. The OS is XPpro.

Firefox5 is not showing BBC iPlayer Video & Radio.
Other browsers are all fine(Safari,IE,Chrome)
The iPlayer webpage is all there but the flash video player is black. The OS is MS Windows XP Professional 32-bit SP3.

Also, when the flash video does not show up it displays the error that I do not have the current flash player. The problem is that I do have the current flash player that actually plays flash from another section of the website.
Forgot to add that earlier.

Hello ardninam,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If the content on your iPhone cannot be read by iTunes, then you will need to follow the directions in the popup and restore your iPhone to the factory settings. You can then try and restore from a previous backup.
Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup - Apple Support
Take care,

My iPhone 4 asked to be updated to iOS6 but will not now start

I have tried the old "hold both buttons down" routine, it will not go into DFU mode and it's only 2 blinking years old! The only thing it will allow me to do is reinstall iOS6 through iTunes and I've already done that. Help, please.

Hello Rushlight27,

I have an ipad2 and my iTunes page has froze. Touching or tapping will not unfreeze it, any suggestions?

I have an ipad2 and my iTunes page is frozen. Touching and tapping will not unfreeze it. All of my other apps work fine, but when I go back to iTunes it is still frozen on the same screen, any suggestions? Thanks, Alan

Have you tried closing the iTunes app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with iTunes 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iTunes app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I am sick of this...It even does it with login in on their own site! When opeing a site(from email or bookmarks) I get to the site an attempt to login, but the next page won't load

For instance, I was trying to pay bills and either the site wouldn't load further than the log in or if it did, the next page loads but gets stuck & won't go further

How can we try to help you when you haven't given us any pertinent information about your problem?
Which version of Firefox? Do you have any addons installed? <br />
Which websites are causing that problem for you?
What firewall program or security suite are you using?
Right now, all we know is that you are frustrated and unhappy with Firefox, and that you have WinXP as your operating system.

FIREFOX 4 WILL NOT OPEN/START SINCE BEING UPDATED

I was using Firefox daily,then I updated to the new Firefox 4.Since then it will not open/start.
I uninstalled it - cleaned all traces using "Crap Cleaner" - then re-installed it...Same problem! Will not open/start.

I also had this issue after upgrading to Firefox 4.
I just downloaded firefox 3.6.16 installed it and Firefox opened up perfectly fine and everything was back to normal.

I right click on link, click, open in new window, then nothing happens. Or, windows within a page will not open, for example, on gmail, when I click "details" the window will not open.

When I right click on a hot link, then click, open in a new window, a window will not open. Alternatively, I can click, open in a new tab, and a new tab will open. Additionally, if I'm at a website with a chat feature, the chat window will not open, or, as another example, if I'm at gmail, and I click "details", the window that opens giving the summary of when your account has been opened and the IP addresses it's been accessed from, will not open.
I have on the computer, Aurora too. I doubt that it's a source of the problem, but I had to throw that into the mix. For clarification, this problem is happening while using the Firefox browser.

You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

My ipad has locked-up, it has frozen while running an app, and will not respond to any button, what do I do?
It simply stays on the same screen image, and does not respond to anything. When I plug it into itunes, there is no indication of its presence.
The ipad's clock has also stopped.
eek

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

And, you are sure you have provided the correct username and password for you email account? I'm not familiar with Virgin media, so you might contact their tech support to find out why you are having a problem sending mail but none receiving mail. I assume your mail account has always been POP3 and not IMAP. Typically, the outgoing mail servers are not the same for the different types of account service.
