  • HT1353 I just purchased a 3rd generation Ipod Touch and the latest software is iOS 4.2.1 and I'd like to download some Apps (facebook, words with friends, etc.), but they all need iOS 5. Help!

    I just purchased a used 3rd generation Ipod Touch and the latest software is iOS 4.2.1 and I have been trying to download apps (Facebook, Words w/Friends, etc.), but they all say I need to have iOS 5. Help!

    Here are some tools to search for compatible apps (The first one is my recommendation).
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    I personally havent looked for any clones of Words With Friends, but I bet you can find something.
    Here are a couple apps which say they are compatible with Facebook:
    Chatnow for Facebook
    Friends Planet 2
    Quickly for Facebook with Video Chat

  • I want to download the new software on my ipod touch on a different computer to what i normally use, but it keeps telling me i will loose all my downloads. Is it possible to make this computer the main computer to sync my ipod?

    I want to download the new software on my ipod touch, on a different computer to what i usually sync my ipod to, and it keeps telling me i will lose all my downloads. i it possible to download the update on this computre, without deleting my information, and making this computer the main computer to sync my ipod to?

    A manual backup will help in your situation.
    Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
    This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
    Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your iPod got wiped during the first sync.
    The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
    Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
    Apps can be downloaded again for free, in some countries music as well: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    I need a new account because one day while trying to buy an app my Apple Id randomly said my password was incorrect after I typed my password in right. I tried thousands of times, and no hope. I couldnt reset the password because I had forgotten its password. I tried other things but they failed. So I did this iCloud change address thing and it kept my Apple ID's data, but change the email and I set a new password. Then all my data goes to iCloud and I still can't buy apps as of the security questions which I forgot.... I tried to reset but instead of giving me a form for it, they just told me what to do when I get the email (even when I still have a rescue address which is the email I used for Apple ID) so I just want a fresh start, to tranfer the money over and get the stupid bug sorted...

    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
    MB022Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Installation and Setup Guide

    After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
    The DVD should look like this
    Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

  • HT201210 When trying to update iOS 7.0.4 I get a message saying that the update has failed. Has anyody else had this problem and if so, how did you get round it?

    When trying to update to iOS 7.0.4 I get a message saying that the update has failed. I've followed the instructions on Apple Support. Has anybody else had this problem and if so, how did you get over it?

    Check For Updates.

  • HT4623 I don't know what has happened but the update didn't work and now it asks me to restore the iPad. I don't know whether I should as i'm too scared it will delete everything i had on my iPad. What should i do if i did backup my iPad before the update

    So i have a serious problem regarding the iOS update on my iPad 4 and i don't know whether i should restore it because i'm scared it will loose all the data.

    You are saying that you DID backup your iPad so there should be no worries at all. After you restore the iOS, you can restore from the backup - and sync with iTunes, if you are using iTunes - and you should be fine. If you see the iTunes logo and the USB cable on the screen, you are in recovery mode.
    Read this for more information.
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple
    If you didn't backup your iPad, there is nothing that you can do about it now. You will lose everything when you restore. You can add you purchased content back to the device using the purchased tabs in all of the iStores or you can sync your content back to the iPad if you use iTunes.
    No matter what, you have to restore if you want to be able to use your iPad again.

  • HT4061 dtr plugged in phone to itunes and it prompted an error and now phone says it has to be restored.  She doesn't want to to do this as she will loose all pics...the screen is stuck on prompt to plug in to itunes

    My dtr plugged her phone in to link to itunes and it prompted an error message.  Now itunes saying she has to restore the phone which she doesn't want to do as will lose all pics...the phone has a screen that will only prompt to reconnect to itunes even after turning off.  What can I do to save what is in the phone? Please and thanks!

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, try this a few times if necessary. If still problem, you may have to just Restore your iPhone to get it working. In the future sync your iPhone with iTunes routinely and when it contains important data, iCloud when set correctly will do this for you continuously.

  • Fehlermeldung 3014 beim Update auf IOS 7 von Iphone - error message 3014 when trying to update my iPhone to IOS 7

    First in German:
    Ich hab heute versucht mein Iphone 5 auf das IOS 7 zu installieren - böser Fehler, ich hab jetzt immer und immer wieder die Fehlermeldung 3014 gekriegt (einmal die 21, aber das war beim 3. Versuch, seitdem nur 3014). Mein Iphone befindet sich jetzt im Wartungszustand und kommt nicht mehr raus...
    Ich hab auch schon so ziemlich alle Vorschläge auf der Seite, zu der mich die Fehlermeldung führt ausprobiert, ausser das mit dem Router - weil sich dessen Firewall nicht ausschalten lässt (ist ein W723V Typ A von der Telekom) und weil ich nicht weiß, wie ich da irgendwas mit dem Server gs.apple.com konfigurieren kann - das bietet die Benutzereinstellung von dem Teil nicht an - und ich hab auch die Firewall von meinen Norton 360 nur ausgeschaltet und nicht deinstalliert, da ich nicht weiß, ob ich den nochmal installiert kriege - ach ja - und einen anderen PC hab ich nicht ausprobiert, weil ich um 23:50 Uhr Nachts nicht bei anderen Leuten einfallen kann...
    Hat jemand einen Tipp, wie ich das beheben kann, bzw. wie ich rausfinde, ob es jetzt am Router, am Norton oder am PC liegt? Alle Software ist übrigens aktualisiert - was noch nicht aktualsiert hab, hab ich ausgeschaltet - aber nichts hilft!
    Alles andere bei Itunes funktioniert super - also ich kann Musik kaufen und abspielen - im iTunes - IPhone geht ja grad net...
    Danke!
    Now in English:
    I have tried to update my Iphone 5 to IOS 7 today - grave mistake, now I keep getting error message 3014 (once I got 21, but that was on try 3 - and since then I keep only getting 3014). My iPhone is now in "support mode"? - sorry, I don't know what "Wartungszustand" is in Englisch - however, the iphone is not usable anymore and when I connect it to iTunes it tells me that it detected that the iPhone is in "Wartungszustand" and I need to restore it to the settings with which I bought it - which is not working because it keeps giving me the 3014 error message.
    I have tried everything that the website the error message sent me to has listed - except for the following:
    - the stuff with the internet router, because in the settings it is not possible to switch of the firewall, and I have no clue how to tell it to allow access to gs.apple.com - there is no option where I can put in an address like that!
    - deinstalling my Norton 360 firewall - I have switched it off, but I am not willing to deinstall it, because I have no clue if I get it up and running again - and how...
    - using another person's computer - because it is midnight and I can not run down the only person's door, who I know has an iPhone at this time of the night...
    Does anyone have an idea how I can find out which programm is causing the trouble? Or if it is really only related to the "Wartungszustand"?  - All software is up to date - that which wasn't I already updated earlier this evening.
    Oh - and itunes works fine otherwise (downloading and playing freshly bought music...)
    Thanks,
    Lörchen

    Ja... auf alle mögliche Art und Weise... auch mit Hilfe vom Telefon-Support...
    Am Ende hat jetzt doch nur geholfen, dass mir meine Kollegin ihr MacBook geliehen hat - darauf konnte ich mein iPhone wiederherstellen - das seltsame ist nur .- ich hab dann auch gleich mein iPad auf iOS 7 akutalisiert (wo ich den Hilfsrechner schonmal da hab *ggg*) - hab's aber erst mit meinem Windows Vista probiert - DA hat es einwandfrei funktioniert... vielleicht war das Update für's iPad (immerhin knapp 20 MB weniger) grad noch klein genug für meine alte, lahme Windows-Gurke? Oder das MacBook nebendran hat es eingeschüchtert?
    Keine Ahnung! Werde mir demnächst ein Apple-PC kaufen - das war eh geplant...
    Trotzdem Danke an alle, die mir helfen wollten!

  • M91P - Rebooting Locks Up When Trying to Update

    Hello,
    I've searched, but I can't seem to find any similar problems.
    I have a ThinkCentre M91P running Windows 8.  Whenever I try to reboot the machine to update (either the OS itself, or the anti-virus software), it gets stuck on the Windows logo screen (the blue Windows icon and the spinning loading circle).  I reboot several times, and eventually it will run a diagnostic check and restore a previous version - getting stuck a few more times afterwards.  Eventually it will restart.  Is there a known cause and repair for this?  It does it sometimes on a regular reboot too, although I've stopped doing this and just shut it down and turn it back on instead.  This doesn't seem to work if something requires a reboot though.  Even after shutting it down and restarting, I still get a message saying that it needs to reboot.
    Thank you,
    -John

    I'm having the very same problem. This is bad news.  I upgraded to Mavericks last week, and then had to update Aperture.  Now it says my 400+GB library has to update, and then at the end it won't complete.  I've done this with a three months older copy of the library.
    Apple, you need to figure this out--I'm a working professional and now I don't have access to 4-5 years worth of work--this is serious.  My library appears to be corrupted.
