    - Try placing the iPod in Recovery Mode and restoring via iTunes
    - Next try DFU mode and restore.

    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.

  • I can not get safari to load anything.

    I can not get safari to load. Have already cleared the cache (three different ways) and reset safari. I'm not running off a router and when I look at my connection in 'network' it says my connection is fine. I don't know what else to do.

    What exactly happens when you try to load a page? How are you loading this site?

  • HT1695 Today for some reason my IPad won't fully connect to my iphone and tether.  For instance under settings it shows next to "Wi-FiI'm connected to the Wi-Fi but at the top of the screen there is no connection symbol and in fact i am unable to load web

    Today for some reason my Ipad won't tether properly. The iphone says it's connected and on the Ipad next to Wi-Fi in settings shows I'm connected but at the top left of the screen there is no connection icon and I cannot load and display web pages. My Ipad is about three weeks old and I have never had this problem before. I have rebooted but this did not solve my problem.
    Any ideas?

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • TS3274 my ipad is locked up.  It says"this ipad has not been backed up in 2 weeks, backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi"  I can not get it to do anything

    my ipad is locked up.  It says "this ipad has not been backed up in 2 weeks.  Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi."  I can't get it to do anything

    Perform a Reset...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

  • Tried to update to ios 8 on ipod 5 and i can not get it to do anything accept a pic of a usb cord with i tunes symbol? It has been 5 days now?

    My daughter tried to install the new update and now it has been 5 days and her i pod only shows a picture of the usb cord and i tunes symbol. How do we fix this?

    The User Guide is available at http://support.apple.com/manuals/ or downloadable from iTunes as an iBook.

  • I have never had a problem syncing music to my ipod, but now I can not get it to sync anything.  HELP!

    Any help would be appreciated.  I can not figure out how to get my new music to sync to my ipod touch.  Never had this problem before?

    YES Terence!  Thank you. Exporting allowed me to move my photos from iPhoto into the Burn Folder on my desktop.   But that doesn't explain why I'm having to go that route now.   Have I done something (accidentally changed some setting) on my computer that will not allow me to just click and drag anymore?   I really liked the convenience of the click and drag option. 
    I don't have the time tonight to export and burn a lot of CD/DVDs.  I'll try that tomorrow and make sure my photos are moving properly.  I also need to export photos to my external hard drive to make sure that route is working. 
    Wouldn't you know that my Apple Care Plan runs out this Wednesday?!  I need to make sure everything is working properly before that expires. 
    Thank you so much for your help.   I really, really appreciate it.

  • HT4623 I am trying to get my contacts of an old Iphone. It show the Itunes logo and the usb portion of the plug in cord. How can I get that to go away so I can get my old contacts off of it?

    I am trying to get my contacts of an old iphone 3.  It show the Itunes logo and the usb connector of the phone charger. How can I get that off the phone and access my contacts.
    Ideas anyone?

    You need to plug it in to iTunes. Once it starts working again, back up the old iPhone to iCloud then go to iCloud in settings. Turn on contacts then you get them back. Another option is to back up to iTunes with the old one, then on the new one, go on iTunes, click restore backup, and choose the old iPhone. I suggest using icloud. Hope it helps!

  • My Ipad mini had frozen with an Itunes logo and image of USB lead.

    You probably have to restore the device with iTunes so connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes.
    You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
    Instructions can be found here.

    You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.

    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
