    Highly unlikely that it says any such thing.
    Try telling us exactly what version of iTunes is installed and what if any messages appears when trying to update it.
    What Operating System is the computer running?

  • HT4623 In syncing my Iphone 5 for the first time, Facetime disappeared.  Although it shows up under apps in the settings menu, the application itself does not seem to be there.  What happened?  How can I fix this?

    There has never been a facetime app on the iphone.
    As the manual says, you access from contacts.  Pick a contact and scroll down to the facetime button

  • Hi I bought a new iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3 installed. When I connected it to itunes for the first time to activate it iTunes asked me to enter the password for an account that the iPhone is locked with what shall I do? PLease help

    Hello everybody
    I bought a new iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3 installed. When I connected it to itunes for the first time to activate it iTunes asked me to enter the password for an account that the iPhone is locked to like if the device was used before what shall I do? PLease reply soon

    I can't do that because the device was purchased from United Arab Emirates and I got it as a gift in Syria but the problem is that there is not even a single apple store in Syria so is there another way to fix that, I googled it and was told to jailbreak the device whitch I did and than hacktivated it but the problem is the device doesn't connect to any network and only shows "no service" and the battery draining too fast so is there any other way to fix this issue

  • When I open my MacBook Pro for the first time each day, I find condensation on the glass.  What can I do to prevent the condensation?

    When I open my MacBook Pro for the first time each day, I find condensation on the glass.  What can I do to prevent the condensation?

    This thread and all the followups are hilarious, if it weren't such a serious problem. OP, you may want to add a bit more information on how this drippy screen problem occurs: where do you live, what are the weather conditions, what are you doing with the Mac when it occurs, etc.
    Yes, extreme moisture, to the extent of causing visible condensation, is Very Bad News for any electronic device, and more so with one that isn't tropicalized like the Mac. Besides trying to avoid subjecting it to such extreme temperature changes, using some kind of desiccant to absorb close range moisture and avoidint its use until it dried out, I can suggest placing some kind of absorbent material between the display and the keyboard to prevent the moisture on the glass from finding its way into the computer. Like the protective poliethylene foam protector that came with the Mac when new. Or something like RadTech's ScreenSavrz: http://www.radtech.us/Products/NotebookScreenSavrz.aspx

  • After syncing a replacement iPad for the first time, my apps have a "waiting " on the screen I can access them but not on opening screen

    After syncing a replacement iPad for the first time, my apps now have a"waiting" message . I can still access from settings but not on the opening app page

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

    To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps

    3. Tap on Reset
    4. Tap on Reset All Settings
    You may need to delete the game app and redownload (you won't be charged).

  • I synced my iphone 3gs for the first time and I lost all my music that was on my phone. Where is everything?

    I synced my iphone 3gs for the first time and when it said it was complete my music was no longer on my phone, but it was not in itunes either. Where has this music I purchsed went?

    When you saw this dialog box, did you choose "Erase and Sync"?
    If you did, your iPhone was erased, then your iTunes Library was transferred to it. If your iTunes Library was empty, your iPhone will be also.
    Your previously purchased music, apps, books, and videos are still yours. You just have to download them again.

  • I updated to ios 7 2 days ago and I synced with my computer for the first time yesterday. Most of my calendar appts and events were wiped off my phone but are still on the computer. I use outlook 2010 and a pc running windows 7.

    I updated my iphone 5 to  ios 7 two days ago and I synced with my computer for the first time yesterday. Most of my calendar appointments and events were wiped off my phone but are still on the computer. I use outlook 2010 and a pc running windows 7. Rebooting the phone and the computer failed to remedy the calendar sync problem.

    Easy solution for restoring lost calendar informaiton, thank goodness.  On your iPhone, go to settings, then to iCloud.  If your Calendar selection is turned off,  turn it on.  Your info should restore.  If your Calendar selection is turned on, then turn it off.  Choose to save calendars when asked.  After it shuts the Calendar off, turn it back on.  Your info should be restored.
    Thank you to Apple support for walking me through this.  Shame on you Apple for not just telling people about this easy fix rather than making us go through all of this pain and worry.

  • "Quicktime not installed on this system" message when starting up AE CC 2014 for the first time...

    Got a "Quicktime not installed on this system some functions disabled" -- or something to that effect -- message when starting up AE CC 2014 for the first time.
    I'm on a Mac Pro OS 10.9.3.
    Anyone know what I need to install to fix this?  I have the Quicktime player and QT plugins for browser, etc...  Never had to do anything for AE before.
    Thanks!

  • When you register your credit card for the first time in Mac App store, Does Apple put through a 1 dollar charge to verify the card ?

    When you register your credit card for the first time in Mac App store, Does Apple put through a 1 dollar charge to verify the card ? Please I need this answer so as to download the latest Mountain Lion upgrade. Thnx in advance.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Many folks have reported that this is true. However, the charge is not taken to the second step of completing the charge and the $1 revolves back to your account.

  • One itunes account, two ipads (no cloud). What will happen when I sync the new ipdad the first time?

    My original iPAD is full of pictures, music, books and apps and was recently synced (iOS7) to my PC.
    Just bought a new iPAD (Mini), and not sure what will happen if I sync it to my PC. Will the failry empty Mini wipe out all my content on the PC? or can I just select what from my PC I wat to sync to this new iPAD?

    No, syncing an additional iDevice to a computer will have no affect on the original.
    Syncing is per device.
    Connect the new device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
