HT201263 How to access Recover Mode after selecting Update rather than Restore during reset?

Looked like I screwed things up on my iPad badly. My iPad no longer recognized my passcode (I know it was right since I use my iPad many times daily) and became disabled. I followed the instructions for the factory reset, however, I selected update rather than restore in hopes that it would purge the password and get me back in. The result, my iPad is still disabled, holding the sleep/wake button no longer exposes the slide to power off the iPad, and holding down the home button does not get me back to recovery mode. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hey eng513,
There is another method to getting your iPad back up from being disabled. If you have an iCloud account signed in, you can erase it from iCloud.com and then go through the setup steps to get you back up and running. Take a look at the article below to help you out.
Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled

Take care,

HT201263 iPod frozen in recovery mode after an update

During the latest OS update there was an error and the device froze in recovery mode. I tried the recovery process several times but no result. Nothing will fix it or get my iPod out of recovery mode. I tried every suggestions I could get from these posts. My device is no longer recognized by Windows or iTune.
I am out of ideas.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT201263 Ipad 2 in recover mode after 7.0.2 update

I researched the issues and found this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808. This did not work. It gave me this error.
HELP!!! thx

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

How much data is being backed-up from each Mac? (see what's shown for Estimated size of full backup under the exclusions box in Time Machine Prefs > Options).
Is there any other data on your Time Capsule, besides the backups?
Most likely, there just isn't room. Time Machine may be trying to do a very large (or full) backup of one or both Macs, and can't. Since it won't ever delete the most recent backup, there has to be enough room for one full backup plus whatever it's trying to back up now, plus 20% (for workspace).
Also see #C4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for more details.

How do I ensure user name is shown rather than 'another user' on the 'File in Use' dialog box?

How can I ensure user names are shown rather than just 'another user' on the 'File in Use' dialog box that appears when attempting to edit a checked out document in Microsoft Word/Excel?
All suggestions welcome.

If I recall correctly, that dialog is generated by the Office client product supporting that file type. There would be no way to modify it.

Double clicking brings up selection box rather than highlighting words

This is a bit of a trivial problem but it's making my editing quite difficult. I'm using Acrobat X 10, with Windows 7.
Normally when I double click on some text, the word that I am double clicking on will become highlighted. This continues to be the case except for in one specific pdf document: now double clicking opens a selection box rather than highlighting text. If I single click I can highlight whatever text I want, but double clicking no longer highlight a particular word. This is very incumbersome for my annotating/highlighting technique. It only happens with this one pdf, any other pdf and the selection tool is back to normal.
Any idea why this is happening for this one particular pdf, but none of the others, or any way that I can make it highlight words via double clicking again?
Edit: On further inspection, the problem seems to be that for this particular document, acrobat reader cannot detect specifc words, only individual characters. When I highlight a sentence, normally the text highlighted would naturally jump to the end of the word, but here it will only start/stop where I begin and end dragging the cursor. I have used the Recognise Text tool, but this did not fix the problem as it said it had already recognised the text throughout the document.

Can you use the "Prompt" section of the Property Palette instead and leave Label as null. Prompts can be aligned to the left, but, without trying it in Forms 4.5, am unsure about your highlight issue.

Lync Inactive Timer Not Working - Starts after 5 minutes rather than 20 minutes

I have a client who has her Inactive timer set to 20 minutes. I verified that the registry entry is set as such. We have rebooted her system and cleared her Lync cache files. She does not have a screen saver set, and her plugged
in power setting for turning off the display is set for 30 minutes, and put the computer to sleep is Never. Battery power options has the display turning off after 5 minutes. Her system is plugged in and the Inactive status kicks off
after 5 minutes and the display does not turn off. I can not figure out why it is kicking off after 5 minutes rather than 20 minutes as it is set. Any ideas on what else might be causing it to go inactive after 5 minutes? Or what else I can
try to get it to initiate the 20 minutes that it has set?

My apologies, I didn't check the location being the 2010 forum and was hoping it might still be 2013 as we get a lot of 2013 posts in the 2010 forums. The app doesn't currently work with 2010 which stinks. I was thinking if it
worked we could beef it up so it worked well for you and add some additional features. In the end, there's no native option but it's a good idea.

How to access ipod music after computer crash?

Yes, we lost all stored info in our ipod library. (Thank God we backed up the checkbook and pix!) So, I reinstalled the software, and bought a new CD from itunes. My shuffle still has all my old music on it of course, and I can listen to it, but what I don't know is how to access it.
I want to add the new music to the shuffle without erasing everything already stored on it. When I insert the shuffle into the USB port a window pops up and asks:
"The ipod is synched with another library. Do I want to erase it and synch with the new one"
Isn't the shuffle like a memory stick? How do I access the music already stored on it?
Thanks

You will need other software to do this easily. Yamipod, Anapod maybe? Never used either and there are others.
It is also possible to do yourself with iPod in disk mode but you would have to figure out file structure and naming.

Try and restore it 2 more times. If you continue to get error 1 (or -1), that indicates a hardware failure. Make an appointment at the genius bar.

IMac won't wake from sleep mode after latest update

Hello, I have a Late 2013 27-inch iMac that has started acting strange, lately. After installing update 10.10.3, my iMac almost will regularly not wake once it enters sleep mode, after being idle for a certain period of time.
Is anyone else having this problem, and/or have any solutions for this?
Thank you in advance!

Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article. That's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. Please read the whole article carefully and don't skip any of the steps, including the ones under the heading Additional troubleshooting. If you don't understand any of the steps, ask for guidance.
Also note that if you replaced the internal hard drive with an SSD, or if you're starting up from an external SSD, then that device may be causing the problem. Check the SSD manufacturer's website for a firmware update. The only solution may be to reinstall the original drive or avoid sleep altogether.
Step 2
If you're running OS X 10.8.5 or earlier, from the menu bar select
           ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Accessibility
If the checkbox at the bottom marked
          Enable access for assistive devices
is checked, uncheck it and test.
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select
           ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Security & Privacy ▹ Privacy ▹ Accessibility
If any applications are listed on the right and have a checked box next to them, uncheck all the boxes and test. You may first have to click the padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window and authenticate as an administrator to unlock the settings.
Step 3
In the Energy Saver pane of System Preferences, uncheck the box marked
          Put hard disks to sleep when possible
Step 4
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.
Step 5
This and the next step must be taken as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ Diagnostic and Usage Messages
In the search box in the window's toolbar, enter "powerd" (without the quotes.)
You may see one or more lines like this:
com.apple.message.signature: Platform Failure
If you do see that, and you did everything in the preceeding steps, then you're dealing with an internal hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
Step 6
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that heading, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down.
You may see one or more reports with a name that begins with "Sleep Wake Failure" followed by a date. Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
