What Mac do you have?
To find out info about your system,
Click on the Apple symbol in the upper left of the OS X main menu bar. A drop down menu appears.
Click About this Mac. A smaller popup window appears. This gives you basic info like what version of OS X your iMac is running, the speed of your iMac's CPU and how much RAM is installed.
Click on the button that says More Info. A larger window appears giving you a complete overview of your iMac's hardware specs.
Highlight all of this info and copy/paste all of this into another reply to this post, editing out your iMac's serial number before actually posting the reply.
This will tell us everything about your iMac so we may begin to help with your iMac issues.

    I cant sync my ipad to my computer. How can i move ipad data, calendars and such, to another computer?

    Is your original computer fried and no longer usable?
    If you do not have a backup of your iTunes library on DVD or an external drive, you either have to start from scratch, meaning load all of your photos onto the new laptop, (if you have the photos stored elsewhere) and do the same with the music. In the U.S. you can download all of your purchased music again for free with the iCloud feature available in iOS 4.3. You would have to import any music from CD again that you had in iTunes as well.
    There is a software available called iPad Transfer that claims to be able to transfer your iPad contents onto a computer. Your photos will not be in the original resolution from what I understand but I really no nothing about this application. You can read about it here.

    There also data recovery services that you can look for as well. I have no idea what they entail and what they may cost but I think you can retrieve you contents that way as well.

    While it isn't as easy to just use a Mac iDevice as media storage as Android and Windows, you can add documents and such like Word, PDF and others manually in iTunes to have them sync as well.

  • I cant sync my ipad and my computer what is the problem

    I have an ipad and am trying to sync my firefox to my ipad. It doesnt give me specific instructions on how to do this. Can you help me?

    Hi AptekaJ,
    There is no ''true'' version of Firefox for IOS. There is a really cool app called Firefox Home though. Take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[What is Firefox Home]]. It will give you some information on what the app does. If you are interested, [[How to set up Firefox Home on your iPhone]] will show you how to get up and running.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Help I cant sync my ipad cause it says it is linked to another acct.

    I have been trying for months now and am ready to toss it in the bin and go buy a Samsung Galaxy Tab.. Also I purchased the entire seasons Gossip Girls and even though the money was taken once they were downloaded they disappeared when I tried to sync.. I own 6 Apple products and am ready to take my sons advice and buy a Samsung Galaxy Tab to match the samsung phone that he just bought.. Itunes is getting beyond a joke I have owned this Ipad for a year and would be lucky to have used it a total of 12 hours cause it isnt any fun not being able to update or play anthing cause it is supposedly linked to another acct.. Trying to get anyone to talk to is like pulling teeth..  Total waste of money...
    cheers

    You will need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
    Or you can follow these instructions.
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

  • HT1539 I've burnt a digital copy of 3 blu ray dvds onto my iTunes, but i cant sync them to my iPad-an error message says device needs to be authorized, but its only authorised to this computer, i've never tried to use it on any other! Can anyone help?!

    I've burnt a digital copy of 3 blu ray dvds onto my iTunes, but i cant sync them to my iPad-an error message says device needs to be authorized, but its only authorised to this computer, i've never tried to use it on any other! Can anyone help?!

    Thanks for your reply, but you might have misunderstood it a bit. I'm NOT trying to buy a movie. ****, I'm not even in the actual Apple Store, when this happens I'm in the library not the Store part of iTunes.
    To clarify - I have purchased a physical copy of a movie which came with another physical copy which contains the digital copy. The digital copy is on the DVD, all I need is just to transfer this file to my iPod Touch, for example, I'm not trying to download it from the store or repurchase it and it's not any gift code that I've received, the digital copy is on the disc. This is the first time ever that I've purchased something on a disc and I'm not allowed to access it because the disc hasn't been purchased within my country.
    So again - I'm not attempting any purchase or download any purchased digital copy - it's on a DVD I own physically so... why is even the region of my Store relevant, the code I enter is (as I assume) just supposed to check if it's a legal genuine copy (which it is, as I've said - there are 6 discs in the pack: 3 movies on 3 Blu-rays and 3 DVD containing these digital copies of them). If I own it, I think that's proof enough that I have the right to use it. I just don't get it. I fully agree with you and understand your point if there was any purchase going on here, but it's not, it's just - I put a disc into my computer and I can't access it

  • I cant sync. Videos with my Ipad

    Hi
    Plz help
    I cant add videos to the iTunes library from my windows so i cant sync it with my iPad 

    I have the same issue too.   I have many (dozens) of movies that I have ripped from my personal DVDs.   For the past 18 months, I have been able to sync and play any of them at-will on my iPad  (so the format is fine).
    Today I tried to check a few to add  (that I had on the iPad at one point in the past).    The iTunes interface on my WM7 PC went through the motions of synching ... the status bar on top even displayed the names of the 3 movies I tried to add as they were loading.   The iPad storage bar indicated that the 3 movies were loaded too.
    But on the iPad - no.   No additional movies were showing.   Only the 3 I had added a few weeks ago during the last time I synched and swapped out movies.
    This sounds almost like a clear case of a bug in the latest iTunes update.  Oh did I mention that iTunes insisted on updating itself today?
    *****.   Never thought I'd see such a blatant bug in an apple release.
