  • Dropped phone in coffee, turns on but sticks on the i tunes icon. Restore won't complete because of  error 29. Any ideas?

    dropped phone in coffee, turns on but sticks on the i tunes icon. Restore won't complete because of  error 29. Any ideas?

    After being submerged in coffee, did you power the iPhone off right away and if so, how long did it remain off to be completely dry - for the interior, not exterior?
    Did the coffee include cream and sugar? Electronics and moisture don't mix especially with moisture that includes sugar.
    Regardless, sounds like there is some hardware damage especially if not powered off and allowed to dry with the interior before being powered back on.

    - Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I am trying to update to i-tunes 11.3 but when I download I get a message that itunes didn't install properly, and a reference to error 127. Any ideas?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    When I try to connect to itunes, It states ''The sim card of this phone is PIN locked - please enter the PIN code of your SIM card and connect again to iTunes" however I don't have the option to enter the Pin code on my phone as on my phone screen it states "your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporaily unavailable"
    PLEASE HELP AND THANK YOU

  • HT201210 Error 7 (Windows error 126). Any ideas?

    I am getting Error 7 (Windows error 126). Any ideas?

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • I am trying to convert a video clip so that i can slow down the clip speed, but i keep getting an error -34.  any ideas?

    I am trying to convert a video clip, already in imovie so that I can slow down the clip speed, but I keep getting an error -34.  Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hi Russ,
    Thanks for your response. I am not an experienced user of FC or other video editing software but if its that hit and miss I think I will go to the trouble of finding some better software - I have a busy enough life as is, I don;t want to get into second guessing what a software problem might be!
    I have just successfully exported my video to a master file using one of the Apple codec options so it looks like it could be to do with the H.264 codec.  I am wondering if Apples Compressor software would solve this problem - the only way to try this it to buy it, there is not trial for the compressor app.  Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • HT203128 "Unable to check for available downloads. The network connection was lost." I have 3 downloads from yesterday that I receive this error code. Any ideas?

    I have 3 downloads from yesterday that I receive this error code. Any ideas?
    Thank you!

    I may have stumbled upon something that could help. A type of "detour" around the problem.
    I just started experiencing this problem a few days ago. Anytime I'd try to download a song/video/movie, I would get the message, "Unable to check for available downloads. The network connection was reset".
    So, instead of selecting "Check for Available Downloads" under "Advanced" menu...
    I logged into "My Account" page in itunes. If there are available downloads it comes up at the top of the page with the option button "Download Now". When I select that -- it downloads immediately.
    Can't promise it will work every time. But it's worked for me so far. Good luck...

  • TS3988 I can log into my iCloud account on my iphone but when I try to log in on my pc I keep getting a connection error message.  Any ideas?

    I can log into my iCloud account on my iphone but when I try to log in on my pc I keep getting a connection error message.  Any ideas?

    Same problem. I can see the itunes store so not a problem with windows firewall. The account is active on my iphone so i know i am not locked out. I can connect the PC to my iphone so i know itunes is working ok. It is just logging into itunes on this pc which doesn't work. Only thing I can think of is that the email address I use for my apple id has been offline for a while and is working again now, I'm wondering whether this has been the case for others who are having this issue?

  • HT4528 my i phone four will not re-set it keeps giving me error code 1611 any ideas

    my i phone four will not re-set it keeps giving me error code 1611 any ideas?         

    Turned out that I had to delete the password first before I could change it.
    That's the first time I ever had to do that.
    In the past it would just accept the password that I entered when asked for it.
    Now I will remember - i hope! :)

  • I cant get a photo project to email the moblile me address to someone else.  I know how, but it has stopped working for some reason.  Instead of pulling up the web address on the email form, it puts an error message?  Any ideas?

    Michael,
    The link for the word 'HERE' directs to a Evergreen School District page, which outside of Mobile Me and/or Aperture. Your school district network might be intercepting the request from Aperture and displaying the 'network authentication page' that you see, instead of the email. I would get with the IT department to see if they can help you get around this.
    Have you also tried using the 'Tell a Friend' feature from another network location, like starbucks or your home?
    Cheers,
    Owen.

  • ITunes fails to install with error Ox800736FD. Any ideas?

    iTunes fails to install with error Ox800736FD. Any ideas?
    Trying to install on a Acer Aspire-- no CD/DVD

    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 800736FD, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?)
