  • Completely reset ipad because the person i bought it from couldn't remember the password or any of the other security questions because of a debilitating mental disorder. Now it just has a black screen with a plug and it says itunes. what should i do?

    I completely reset and now it has a black screen showing a plug in pointing to itunes. what should i do?

    That iPad is probably in recovery mode:

    But it won't be much use to you, if you don't know any passcodes.
    In that case, you should contact Apple.

  • HT201263 I purchased an 1gen 16GB Ipod from a seller. The ipod only shows the connect to itunes logo when connected to computer. The display shows without the word itunes. I got error codes 1603 and 1604 and have followed all the steps that were shown on

    I purchased a 16gb ipod touch 1 gen and it wont restore or show the battery chaging icon. It shows the symbol of usb cable and what appears to be an itunes symbol without the itunes words being displayed. Upon trying to restore I have gotten error codes 1603 & 1604. I referred to the apple website for assistance and followed the steps to the letter with no results. So what else should I try or could I try because I have has no such luch thus far? I have held the home button and power button I tried to enter DFU mode but unsuccessful due to the screen boots with apple logo then immediately goes to the itunes screen and no further only when connected. Will not power on without usb connection have charged battery to see if it was the issue and no battery bar locator displays with or without being connected to PC.

    So you did all this:
    Error 1603: If you receive this error and the iOS device is not automatically placed into recovery mode, it may be necessary to do so manually. Refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore for steps on placing iPhone into forced recovery mode. Also, remove the IPSW and attempt to restore again. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user.
    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for error 1604.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
    iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • My Iphone 4s disconnected while Syncing and now all that is on the screen is an apple and loading bar and it won't turn off

    can any one tell me what wrong and how to fix it?

    This symbol means you need to connect your phone to your computer's iTunes via the USB cable and restore the phone.

  • Hi am having problem syncing my iphone 3GS to my pc. It keeps showing backing up step 1 of 4 and run for hours and not sync. I have restarted my pc many times plugged and unplugged my iphone and it does not work at all.

    I have been having trouble syncing my iphone after updating version 10. Satus keeps showing backing up step 1 of 4 forever on my pc. I have tried re plugging and restarting my pc but none work so far. I have not been able to sync my iphone since. Help!? Pls

    Thanks for the stellar reply gdgmacguy.  I had no idea the AppleID used to purchase the device was forever tied to it.  Great to know.
    May I add another layer of complexity to the issue?  I plan on buying her the iPhone 4S for Christmas.  Assumed all I would have to do is sync the new phone to iTunes on her pc and all her data/apps/music/pictures would transfer over.
    Can I use her new account when I sync the 4S for the first time or will it prompt me for mine?
    Thanks again.

  • HT5885 My iphoto app on my macbook pro failed now all photos have been deleted

    My iphoto app on my macbook pro failed and read that it "needed to re-build" I let it do so, and mid way "re-building" it failed and all of my photos vanished. They are not in any other files, but seems like they are completely deleted can anyone help me.

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what makes you think they are deleted?
    what do you see when iPhoto opens?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

    Clinton
    The Mid 2010 15-inch MacBook Pro problems are related to kernel panics, so the GPU is still working. In the case of the OP, the GPU has stopped working completely, so his/her problem doesn't belong to the kernel panic problem, so the OP may have to pay. I may be wrong.
    Also, the 10.8.4 update won't help as this is a hardware problem, but it's always good to keep OS X updated

  • My phone has died. I tried upgrading my Iphone 3gs yesterday to ios. It failed to update, it has failed to restore. Now its just showing a plug and Itunes on the screen. Please help soonest

    My I phone is literally dead. I tried upgarding the software yestreday, it refused saying there was an error, I was given an option to restore it, it has failed. Now there is no old software as well as the new software. Its showing a plug and an Itunes signal on top. Thats all that it has. I will be very grateful to receive any form of help out there.

    The iOs 5.1 is a huge file that needs to be dowloaded when updating/restoring, your phone hasnt completed the update so its now in recovery mode. Look on the left of itunes, it should say downloads under the store section with a spinning wheel, click that and youll see the update file with a time remaining, wait for that download to finish then try the restore again  and it should work
