i connected my new iphone 4 to itunes before backing up my old one but now it wont recognise my old 3gs. My name doesnt appear on the left. i want to transfer all my songs to my new one but cant sync now. can anyone help
Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

I try to sync my itunes with my iphon 4s 16gb but a message says that the sync fails can anyone help me?
The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version. You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes. Or you can adapt to the new look.

Have you synced this phone, with iTunes, while the passcode was enabled? If so, plug it in, iTunes running, & hit the Restore button on the Summary Pane. This will also erase the phone.
However, if you have not synced, while the passcode was enabled, you will not be able to do this without first enereting the passcode. If that's the case, try recovery mode:

How can I edit my website from another computer? and how can I create a new website next to the one, I already have? Can anyone help, please?
Move the domain.sites file from one computer to the other.
The file is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. Move this file to the same location on the other computer and double click and iWeb will open it. Remember, it is your User Library that you want and not your System Library, as you will not find iWeb there.
Just create a new site on the same domain file and it will appear below the other site. If you want them side by side then duplicate your domain file and have one site per a domain file and they can then be side by side. -

Did it sync before? Is this the same computer it synced with? Is it giving you any error messages? Does it show up in iTunes?

I am resurrecting my old iMacG5 for my grandson. Appleworks has question mark in dock and does not load from bundled software on original installation discs. Can anyone help?
I'm sorry no-one has answered you yet - I'm afraid I don't know the answer to the question: but I wanted to put into your mind that starting up with AppleWorks at this stage isn't a good idea. The program was 'end-of-lifed' years ago, it won't run on Lion, and some of the document types created in it - Databases in particular - cannot be opened at all by any other program whatever. Word Processing documents can be opened in Pages, and Spreadsheets in Numbers (with some reservations in both cases), but building up a collection of AppleWorks documents at this stage is going to lead to problems later on.
It's difficult to know what to recommend for a PowerPC machine that would still be compatible with modern ones. An older version of Microsoft Office, perhaps, if you can find one which will run on PPC; but most of the modern Word Processors are Intel only. This is something you would need to investigate. -
I don't understand why I can't download for free the apps designed by Apple, such as Pages and Numbers, which are free with iOS 7. Can anyone help me?
The apps are free with iOS 7 if you purchased a new device after September 2013. The apps do not come free just because you are running iOS 7 now. Did you purchase or receive a new iPad recently?
If you did, are you using the same Apple ID to get the apps that you used to activate the iPad? If you are, sign out of your ID, restart your iPad, sign in again and go back to the App Syore and see if the apps show up as free.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad and go back to the settings and sign in again. -
I have over 16,000 songs in my iTunes library so I manually manage the music on all my devices. I bought a new iPod to replace an older one. I'd like to transfer all 900 songs to my new device without having to handpick each song from my music library. Is there a way to do it?
No. I have quite a few more 16,000, so I don't manually manage. Making playlists for each device makes things much easier to organize. You can create regular lists of essential tracks and smart playlists to automatically catch new content, top rated, most played etc. If you'd done it this way all along configuring a new or restored device would be the work of moments.

I have a Power Mac G4 (2004) and want to transfer all my files to a new MacBook Pro 15.4". Can this be done thru firewire cable or do I have to transfer to an external Firewire 800 hard drive first?
Do it with a Firewire cable (buy a 800/400 adapter if you need it) - the USB transfer takes a much longer time.
Start up your old PowerMac G4 holding down the "T" key, for target disk mode.
On your new MacBook Pro open "Migration Assistant" in your utilities folder.
Connect the 2 computers by firewire cable and follow the prompts in Migration Assistant. -
I downloaded itunes but when i try to install i get an error saying "There is a problem with the windows install. A programe needed to install could not be open"
can anyone help?Ok, Below is what worked for me somewhat.
Okay ... try downloading and saving a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe to your PC from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Now download a trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.php
Open the iTunesSetup.exe with WinRAR, and try to run the standalone install of Apple Application Support from the AppleApplicationSupport.msi you find in there.
It works now BUT there are still problems. It is not allowing or recognizing my Cd/DVD player and i CANT burn. Looking still for this fix. -

Apple TV will only play one track at a time, can anyone help?
Hi,
I have Apple TV model #MC572LL/A which I think makes it 2nd gen, right? I've had it for a couple of years, never really had a problem with it until maybe the latest update of the firmware (5.2), or maybe the latest iTunes (11) or maybe my brand new Win8 Sony Vaio or maybe since I reset my home wifi router 10 days ago, whatever, all these things happened at once, and all was fine until something went wrong sometime last week.......
All of a sudden this started happening:
I'll play a movie (which I have imported into my iTunes library as a 'movie', not a 'home video') and it plays fine. At the end if I want to play another movie I go back to the movies menu, scroll down to another movie, select it and the spinny thing in the center of my tv screen starts spinning......and stays spinning.....forever.
The same thing happens if I play a music track. At the end of the track in an album or playlist it will move on to the next track on the TV screen but nothing plays, the tiny spinny thing under the progress bar just sits there spinning.
I have tried restarting Apple TV and factory resetting Apple TV to no avail. When I restart Apple TV I have to turn off home sharing in iTunes then turn it back on again by signing in before I can see my library on my TV screen.
If I go to my PC and close iTunes and re-open it I can then play another music track or movie. At the end of the track, if I go back to the home screen UI I can see all my movie covers or album covers along the top of the TV screen if I am on the green 'computers' icon. Anything I select to play will not play if something else has just been played.
I have home sharing on, obviously, I have one wifi network, one Apple ID, one wifi router, one PC, one iTunes, one TV, one Apple TV, a very simple set-up. It all worked fine last month.
Please help, it's driving me crazy! Thanks!Can't help you with your problem, but just a heads up:
The 2nd generation AppleTV is very valuable, if you ever decide to sell it.

All adobe applications work like a dream. Except Illustrator. Can anyone help?
I just recently bought a iMac 5K retina, base model. I've been using all applications for a while now and while everyone one of them works like a dream, illustrator is extremely choppy and unworkable. As in, when I drag an dartboard, it slowly gets dragged. In fact I didn't have this problem on my Mac air. Can anyone please help me?
I've posted the same question on their Illustrator community. But haven't gotten any replies so far.
Here's the thing though. When I use the exact same illustrator file on my Mac air (late 2011, I think.) it works perfectly. No lag, no choppiness. I've installed Yosemite on that as well. So I don't know what going on.
In fact when I use applications like premiere pro and photoshop on my 5K iMac, it works without one iota of a lag. I just don't understand why only illustrator is having this problem. And since I 80% of my designs are done on illustrator, I'm feeling a bit nervous. I wonder if any other 5K owners are experiencing anything like this...?
