  • After upgrading the itunes, I can not find my ipad when it connects to the PC

    After upgrading the itunes, I can not find my ipad when it connects to the PC
    Before that, I can see an botton said my ipad. And then I can click it to operate my ipad

    Try this
    Go into the control panel. Add/remove programs. Uninstall iTunes, Apple mobile device service, apple application support. Then go out and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.
    There seems to be a glitch with a recent update and one way to overcome it is to just start over. If that doesn't work there are more in depth things you can do.

  • My Mac can't find the server when I connect to cable internet.

    My Mac can't find the server when I connect to cable internet. Ethernet is fine, the problem is that Safari doesn't open the login/password window. Can anybody help?

    The system administrator of my network has had the following solution - to help open the window for the login/password I tick "web proxy" (and enter the information for web proxy server) in "network preferences - advanced - proxies", enter the login/password and then untick it to open webpages. A little complicated, but it works, and that's the only solution so far.

    EEEgads, I have used ITUNES for my Ipod Shuffle for years and now it is a nightmare with 11.0, I can't find my Ipod when I connect to Itunes, it is a new Win 7 PC.  It used to show up on left side and I would slide podcasts right over to it for years,  I have installed 3x with removing old install.  I also can hear a constant throbbing sound in spkrs. when Itunes turned on, pls advise.

    Hi Becki ..
    You need to "authorize" the Mac.
    Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
    Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.

  • HT1296 When I connect my iPhone 4 to my computer it says that there is no device driver. I click fix it now and it does nothing. How do I fix this so that I can transfer my pictures from my phone to my computer? Please help. Thank you

    I cannot get my computer to find a device driver to connect my iPhone 4 to my computer so that I can transfer my pictures from my phone to my computer in order to free up some memory on my phone. Can you please help me. I have used the troubleshoot method on my computer and it does nothing. I have a Windows 8 computer. Thank you for your help.

    Reinstall iTunes. Make sure you follow the instructions in this support document to the letter. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
    You may have some problems because Apple has not certified that everything works with Windows 8 yet.

  • Error "Can't find boot device by boot options" when boot from ISO via AMT

    Hello.
    When I try to boot from ISO CD via AMT I got an error message:
    "Can't find boot device by boot options"
    Settings are similar to what I made in HP 8100, 8200 etc - SOL/IDER/KVM, network access enabled
    Where could be a problem?
    Prod. name: HP Compaq Elite 8300 Microtower PC
    Prod. number: B0F41EA

    Just wanted to follow up with this as I got a response from HP. It looks like it is at least the 2.9 BIOS version that has this issue. I know that at least the 2.51 BIOS version is unaffected. 

  • Problems after virus disinfection, when I plug in my iPod, it asks if I want to scan and fix, but then it can't find the device

    Problems after virus disinfection, when I plug in my iPod, it asks if I want to scan and fix, but then it can't find the device. What should I try?

    I used Avast and Malwarebytes. The computer was severly infected with the FBI virus. I had to do a repair reinstall of Windows 7. The client is upset about her iPod, which at this point is the only thing still having a problem. I'm not familiar with Apple products, but I told her I would research it.

  • When I connect my iPhone to my PC iTunes no longer automatically opens. And when I open it myself, I can't even find my phone under devices. Help please!

    When I connect my iPhone to my PC iTunes no longer automatically opens. And when I open it myself, my phone does not even appear under devices. Help please!!

    Things to try:
    Try resetting your phone (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds until the Apple logo appears.  When you see the Apple logo let go of both buttons and your iPhone will reboot.
    Try a new sync cable (often the problem)
    Make sure you phone is adequately charged
    Make sure you are using latest version of iTunes

    PS. The OS I am not sure do not remember exactly.

    - Reboot the computer
    - Try another USB port
    - Try another cable try another cable
    - Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Can't find ios devices with itunes anymore?

    Hi! i have an ipad air and an iphone 5s and run windows 8.1.
    Normally both my ipad and my iphone connect to itunes through wifi so i can put music on it, delete apps or put comics on it or whatever. But suddenly yesterday it stoppet working and now my itunes can't even find ios devices when i plug it in the computer by USB? Everything is fully updated and i tried reinstalling itunes and reset my devices and use a different usb port.
    MY computer can find them via USB so i can look at my pictures from "my computer".
    please help anyone :-)

    Hello ErdalDK,
    It sounds like you are unable to see your devices either via Wi-Fi or when connected with a USB cable. I recommend the troubleshooting from the following article named:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    If that does not resolve the issue, I would recommend re installing iTunes again, but also its associated apps. The following article will walk you through that if needed:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

    Hi LamboMong,
    just try this:
    http://refit.sourceforge.net
    install, reboot twice and choose the Windows-Partition on next startup.
    (The apple-bootloader doesn't display all bootable harddisks.
    With rEFIt you can boot from all partitions/harddisks on your computer.)
    I hope that will solve your problem.
