My devices show in my windows file explorer but not in ITunes

Safari on my iPad says service temporarily unavailable. This has now happened two days in a row. What can I do to correct this? It has never happened before in 7 months of owning my iPad. I bought a wireless Logitech keyboard, but that should not affect Safari? It worked earlier in the day yesterday with then keyboard.

Also if I ever have to reboot again, is there some way to save the apps I have on my iPad? I did choose the option to back up prior to restarting, but apps had to be manually re-entered?
This has me confused. Rebooting the iPad (holding down on the sleep and home buttons until the Apple logo appears on the screen) should not in any way, shape or form, remove content from the iPad.
Then you stated that you chose the option to back up before restarting? There is no option to backup before "restarting" on the iPad. Are you restoring the device in iTunes? -
"Went to work on my photos and something popped up that says, file 0ff-line or missing. This has never happened before. Can someone help? thank you!
This means that the photos (or the folders that contain them) have been moved, renamed or deleted outside of Lightroom. On Windows it can also mean the disk drive has changed letters.
To fix the problem see: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders -
I just updated my 3GS to 5.0 and most of my apps and contacts disappeared. THis has never happened before through many updates. How can I get it back to where it was?
I did a restore from backup but that did not change anything.
I can see my apps in iTunes - it is like the update got some apps but not all, no contacts.
Total waste of my Friday.
What steps can I take to bring the phone back.
I know Steve is not smilingI got my contacts back by doing another restore! Relief..
But only a very few odd apps are showing up on the 3GS
Any suggestions? -
On my finder page-new folder is grayed out-this has never happened before.

Are you sure you are choosing "new folder" rather than "new folder window" - new folder results in an empty "untitled" folder on my desktop whereas new folder window shows all my files.

i just recently got a new iPhone 4 (my other one had water damage) and the service is all of a sudden terrible and my calls are dropped constantly. This has never happened before. Any suggestions on what I can do? This is really frustrating!
May be your carrier but try a reset:
Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears -
When I click on my finder to put a new folder on my desktop, it apears on the desktop nut it conatins all the files on my desktop. What I want is a new untitled folder. By the way, this has never happened before, in my many years of using imacs

I am being asked to provide my billing info for updating free apps... This has never happened before. I don't have a credit card so is there anyway around this??
The only way is to create an Apple ID without a credit card. The one you currently created will not work, it has to be a new one, and use this support document to do it. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534 Make sure you follow the directions exactly.

Whilst charging my iphone I was asked to very my Apple ID. This has never happened before. Is it normal?
I don't think it is normal but it happened to me last night with iOS 7.1 on just my iPhone but not on either iPad in my household. The fine print on the sign in request noted that it was for iCloud backup (which happens when the phone charges if it is connected to wi-fi). I found one user who reported it as a bug while 7.1 was still in beta and I've responded to one other user today who also had this happen. The beta user reported it happening every day so I'm strongly hoping that isn't the case with mine.

When Force Quit window appears, select the Safari if not already.

Relaunch Safari holding the shift key down.

I can send emails on my ipad and iphone but not on my iMac. I can receive them okay.
I am using a @virgin.net email and cannot send emails from my iMac. I can recieve them and have no problem sending them on my ipad and iphone. Why?
It sounds to me like you need to go into Mail, then Preferences, and check your outgoing mail settings for this mail account. If you're not sure what they need to be, you can probably get most (if not all) of the information you need off of your iPad or iPhone.
I've seen it happen where the settings are correct and things still didn't work. In that case, usually reentering everything in the Mail settings resolves the issue. -
