Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates
Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall doesn't touch your content. (That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times in case of disasters of any sort.)

I rented a movie through itunes on my ipad and wanted to watch it with friends on a digital projector, but it wouldn't allow me to do it. Is there any way around this?
The issue was that a dialogue box came up which said that I couldn't play this movie on another device. I tried playing the same movie on an Tv with an HDMI connection attached to an adapter to the IPad and that worked. I wonder if the problem is that the digital projector has a VGA connection.

After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!
iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.columbus new boy wrote:
How crap is that?
It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
and maintain a current backup of your computer. -

I recently upgraded from OS 10.5 on a PowerMac G5 to an early Intel Mac Pro running 10.7.5. To my consternation, I now find that my scroll wheel operates backwards from what I'm used to. Did Apple make a change that caused that? Is there any way around this?
Apple didn't make this easy, did they! When Lion first came out, I think that check box was under the Trackpad heading of the System Preferences, whether you actually had a trackpad or not. I take it there's nothing there, either?
I plugged a plain ol' three button Logitech mouse into the iMac, and while the Mouse panel options did change some, the same check box for Move content in the direction of finger movement when scrolling or navigating was there. -

I have the secuirty number pad on my ipad and I can't remember the password. Is there any way around this?
No, that would make the password rather insecure, wouldn't it? You can only restore from a backup before the passcode was implemented, or restore as a new device.

Does anybody know what I can do to update my ipad without losing all my data. I am trying to update my current version to the 5.1 version and it keeps giving a error message stating that "an error has occured with the back up and if I continue I will lose all content. Will I be able to get my stuff back such as games, music, aps, etc back after I finish or will they be lost forever. Can somebody please help me I am lost and not sure where to get support on this issue.
Thank you so much
AliciaIf you continue and you lose everything, you will be able to download most of the content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. You can read this about downloading past purchases.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
But before you continue and lose everything, try this.
Eject your iPad, quit iTunes and restart your computer. Then launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. See if you have mutliple iPad backups showing in there. If you have multiple backups, delete all but one of them. Also check the box at the bottom that turns off auto sync .... Prevent iPods ......Click OK and Then quit iTunes.
Connect the iPad again and launch iTunes. Right click on your iPad name on the left side of iTunes and select backup. See if the iTunes will create a backup. If it does, after it finishes, click on the Summary Pane on the right and click on check for update. Try to update again.
If it all goes OK, after you update the iOS you can back to Edit>Preferences>Devices and turn on atuo sync again - assuming that is how you want to sync. -
I have been using guided access on my phone. Recently (i am a part of a testing (QA) team for a gaming company), I have come across a situation where another person has enabled the guided access with a passcode which now no one is aware of. And ever sice, we were unable to test on that device. So i wish to find out if there is anyway around this system of guided access. Or if there is any possible way to retrieve the already entered passcode.
It would do us a great favor if you guys could help us out.I'm curious. What is it about this forum, focussed on a now-discontinued productivity application named "AppleWorks", that attracts so many questions like this one, totally unconnected with that application?
I'd appreciate an answer to that. Meantime, I've requested a transfer of the question to a more appropriate community.

I need to update my iTunes in order to use Apple TV and so that i can use icloud with my MacBook(I have an iPad and iPhone)
I have worked out in order to do this I need at least to have 10.5. I want to check that I won't lose all the apps, files, photos etc. on my computer if I upgrade to this? Do i need to clear everything before i install10.5?
I have read that if I jump to 10.6 rather than 10.5 I will lose everything on computer. Is this true?Before you do anything make a cloned backup of your system on an external, erased HDD:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
2. Select the Destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the Destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination
entry field.
5. Select the Source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
6. Check the box, if present, to first Erase the Destination drive.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
You may then do an Erase and Install of Snow Leopard before moving to anything later.
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the Snow Leopard installation.
You can purchase Snow Leopard by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
Snow Leopard General requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply. -

I am receiving a message that my ID has been disabled, and I followed the steps to change the password, but still receive the same message. Cannot access app store or do updates.
In what way are you receiving this message? It is very common to get an email telling you that your ID has been disabled, and asking you to confirm all your details so the sender can steal your identity online.....
