HT4623 My computer says that iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. My internet connection is fine. How can I remedy this?

My iphone 4 has "died" - looks completely black, won't seem to recharge, can't turn it on or off. It does hum when I change from silent to non-silent. I have been able to back it up, and download any photos off it.
Before it died it ran out of battery really fast - which is not like it, but I've had it on the recharger now for over 10 hours. No go.
Before I take it to the genius bar I want to update to the latest software. 7.0.4 is recommended in iTunes.
But when I try to update it iTunes says "Itunes could not connect to the iTunes Store"
After reading some information about updating to IOS 7.0.4 I might be better to wait till the genius bar? Athough they might send me home again with no phone which I don't appreciate!

Thanks ckuan, that has at least got it opening and "looking likely". I had tried that, but perhaps not holding those two buttons for long enough...
It says no SIM card and is very slow. Have reinserted sim a few times and now registering sim. The screen where you have to enter your password to unlock the sim was 'patchy', not clearly showing. (e.g. the circles around the numbers seem to be coloured, not the usual plain white circles around the numbers/letters). Never seen that before.
Battery showing as full. I'll now and upgrade my software
Thanks very much for your help

Recently I bought a MacBook Pro, the first time I entered a disc into the disc dive it wouldn't load up in Itunes - just kept freezing; and the disc drive made a lot of noise, how can I fix this?
I've had my mac for less than a month and for the first time I put in a disc. I can hear a laser sort of noise as well as the disc flapping about or a motor sort of sound? Sounds really bad to me :/
Someone please help!

Sounds like a hardware issue.
Did you buy the system from Apple? If so how recent is recent? If it is new you have 14 days to return it, not sure what the situation is with refurb systems. If it is over 14 days you should still have warranty support make an appointment at an Apple Store or contact Apple support.
If you bought it from someone other then Apple you will need to contact them.
good luck

Go to the game's option settings and change the settings to something more to your liking.

It says that it could not backup because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iphone. What should I do?

As I'm attempting to upload my Iphone 4s to the new ios6 a error message pops up and says that my backup was corrupt and I need to delete the backup for this phone and try again. What should I do to accomplish that?

Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.
Delete the entire Backup folder if there is anything at all in it.

HT2729 Purchased HD movie on ITune and tried to watch it on my TV using my IPAd Mini as the source and got flashing white images and then finally a motive that it could be watched using the TV aas a monitor. Why? How do I avoid this problem?

Recently while on vacation I tried to use my IPad Mini to watch a movie down loaded from ITunes and could not. Initially I get flashing white lights across the TV monitor I was using so a group of us could watch the movie, Wreck It Ralph. A few minutes later I was informed that the TV was not an acceptable viewing device. Why? How do I avoid this going forward?

I connected an HDMI cable to a connector that I bought at an Apple store. The connector connects the HDMI cable to the IPad Mini and the HDMI connects to the TV

HT4623 hi after updating my Ipad I added a pass word I could not remember it,it is locked now showing ipad is disabled how can I solve this problem

how can I reset my pass word??I can not remember it

Hello salahelbakry
The only option is to put your iPad into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. If you have a back up in iTunes or iCloud, you can put the at backup back on and it will not bring the passcode back unless it is encrypted.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
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 shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

IPhone 4 is alerting me to an accessory not meant for the device when it isnt plugged into anything, how can i fix this from happening?

it alerts me both when its awake and asleep at random intervals, ive tried eveything i can think of including restoring the factory settings and still it keeps happening. what can i do to fix this. also when i recieve a text message with the phone on vibrate, it vibrates twice with the first being short and the second being long. please help with either issure or both if possible

Clean the dock connector and inspect it to ensure no pins are bent to resolve the "Device not supported" message.
For the text messages: Settings > Messages > Play alert tones, set it the way you want it.

My iPhone Won't Sync with computer. It used to; but it doesn't now. I don't have iCloud. When I try to sync I get a message that reads: iTunes could not back up the iPhone "owner's name appears here iPhone" because the backup could not be saved on compute

Why won't my iPhone sync with my computer? When I hook the phone up to iTunes I get a message that reads: iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer. This never happened before.

Hey Janice Lucoff,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are experiencing issues backing up your iPhone 4s in iTunes, which is causing issues finishing the sync of your device. The following resource should help resolve your issue, as it refers to the exact error message you described:

If you're not a developer then you really should not have upgraded.
I'm unsure how you can fix this as you have already done a back-up on iOS 7 and apple don't support firmware downgrades.

Do you have any firewalls or antivirus software active (e.g. Little Snitch), that could prevent the installer from contacting the Apple Servers? If yes, turn them off. Also, disable the Energy saver, to prevent the Mac from falling asleep and causing time outs.
Sometimes it will help, to run the installer in Safe Mode, see: Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
