I don't think anyone has ever heard of this problem.
I just got a brand spankin new ipod fifth generation 2 GB nano yesterday and there have been several problems with it. First, my ipod came with no instructions. It was unusually hard to set up, but here is the most apparent. I got the 'Do not Disconnect' sign on my ipod and it disappeared and my ipod turned on so I went on ahead and disconnected it. Then it froze and then the computer froze and now my clueless stepdad is trying to fix it! He has absolutely no idea what he is doing! I need help fast- please.
This is not a job, the point is that we are here voluntarily. We aren't responsible for answering everyone's questions all of the time. It's a favor we do for other users and for Apple.
Not only that it's Xmas and not many people are here.
Be patient.

Has anyone ever heard of this problem before? I challenge you!
So guys, recent macbook pro that I purchased - 15inch - intel core 2 duo 2.4 ghz. It's been great. Recently, I had noticed that when the computer was running off the battery - the time indicator for the battery life kept changing drastically like 2:30 to 4:40 etc.
I went and sought the advice of a mac genius at the local apple store. They found that some kernel issue, something software related, was spiking in the activity monitor thereby causing the battery to have to re-evaluate how much time is left rapidly. they said there was nothing wrong with my battery and that I should do an archive and install and see what happens. they also told me they had NEVER heard of this before - which seems impossible - someone has to have experienced this.
anyways, did the archive and install and when that was completed and my computer was 10.4.9 the problem was fixed! time was back to normal.
then mindlessly, i went through the required software updates to get me up to speed and then tried the battery again just to make sure if was working - and suddenly it was back to old problem again. So it must be some apple software update that I downloaded? And if it is, somebody must have heard of this before.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you,
JackAs I understand it--and this is surely what Retired Engineer was alluding to--your Mac looks at the current battery drainage, combines that with the amount of power in the battery (x%) and computes how much battery time is left. This is why, for example, when you first unplug the computer, the display says "computing" instead of "x:xx time left". But how much power your Mac uses depends on what you are doing. For example, if you let the computer sit, it uses almost no power, and so the computer will show several hours remaining. However, if you then decide to use Disk Utility to "verify disk" or "repair permissions" or something, then suddenly the computer will start spinning and reading the disk, which is rather power intensive, and also it will have to do some computing, which is also power intensive. So display of the amount of time left will drop massively, accordingly, because your Mac battery won't last nearly as long with this amount of usage. But once Disk Utility is done, and the computer is doing nothing again, then your computer will recompute the amount of battery left back to a higher time. And so on.
As a general rule, the more apps you have running, the more disk activity your are doing, and the more services you have on (e.g. wireless) the less battery time you will have.
Rosetta translates on-the-fly programs written for PPC processors, used on older Macs, to something that can run on an Intel Mac like the Macbook Pro. This is computationally intensive and so will slow things down. If you look at Apple > About this Mac > More Details > Software you will see what of your applications are Intel or Universal, and therefore running natively (not Rosetta) or PPC (Rosetta). This information may also appear in Activity Monitor. And make sure you have set activity monitor to show all processes, not just yours. -
Does anyone has a solution for this problem?
Since I updated to iOS 6 sometimes my keywords did not work.
I always have to restart my iPhone to have it work.
It's ridiculous to always restart my phone.
If you also have this problem you can repost + give some tips.
Thanks and greetings,
Max LouisHi Alo816,
I'm sorry to hear you are having such extensive issues with Messages on your iPhone. If you continue having issues sending or receiving Messages, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
If you continue to have issues with Messages after that troubleshooting, especially if it is still having or crashing, you may want to make sure you have a current backup of your data in iTunes, then try restoring your iPhone to factory settings and testing it in that default condition to see if the issues persist before restoring your data. You may find this article useful:

HT201406 I pad has a black screen what do I do I don't think I have ever backed it up to a computer
I pad has a black screen what do I do I don't think I have ever backed it up to a computer
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -
Has anyone had any success with live chat? I have NEVER been able to reach anyone. I complained to the FCC and an executive at Verizon contacted me I asked what options they had for me to contact anyone at Verizon (after trying to call them repeatedly and being put on hold and then disconnected repeatedly). I said "I have never been able to reach anyone by live chat"-- her response was that is the very first time she has ever heard that-and that live chat is ALWAYS available." I told her to try to reach her own customer service a few times and then she might know how it really works. So I am curious- is it just me? Has anyone been able to get through on live chat, and if so were they helpful?
How unfortunate! I love the online chat! Just used it on the 1st of October to inquire about the new data tier pricing. So much easier than waiting on the phone or in line at the Verizon store.
Perhaps you need a faster internet connection or an update to Java on your computer.
Hope my responding helps you figure it out! -
My daughters ipod touch was reset by accident and I don't think it was ever plugged into a computer. Is there a way to restore all the games she purchased on it?
Restore from iCloud backup if shed has one.
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
In my library shuffle will not work has anyone heard of this problem?
I am using a toshiba laptop and the shuffle function in my Itunes library does not work. It's the weirdest thing I have other computers and do not have this problem. I have clicked the button and still nothing. This has been a problem for as long as I can remember. I have downloaded all the necessary updates and still it just doesn't work. I was wondering if anyone has heard of this problem or knows a way to correct this problem. Thanks in advance.

just checking. have all the wee check boxes to the left of your music tracks in your main itunes library window been unchecked? that can produce similar symptoms.
to check (or uncheck) all the songs in your library, hold down Ctrl and click on one of the boxes. (a "global" check or uncheck may take a wee while.)

After I had finished a call my iPhone 4 just went completely dead. Has anyone heard about this problem before?
Hi, I'm not sure if every Off problem is the same...
I would call Apple Corp or visit the Local Genius Bar......
Apple do care about pre 5s iPhone owners, give them a chance to help You.. -
I need to download my Verizon bill. For some reason my account says I'm a "Member" and not the "Manager" or "Owner" so I can't download the bill. I AM THE ONLY PERSON ON THIS ACCOUNT. I AM THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS EVER BEEN ON THIS ACCOUNT. ONLY ME. JUST ME.
Prepaid accounts don't have Account Owners/Managers, they just have Account Members (and prepaid accounts have less options regarding changes via their My Verizon account as a result).

My apps will not download to iPad 2 This is something that has just recently happened. Have tried re-booting but that makes no difference .
Has anyone got the answer to this problem please or do I need to take it into an Apple store Thanking you.If all of that stuff checks out - and iTunes is telling you that the apps have been downloaded to the iPad - try this.
Connect your iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Right click on your iPad name on the left side of iTunes under devices and select Transfer Purchases from the pop up menu. Then sync with iTunes again. Don't eject the iPad yet. If you still don't see the apps on the iPad - click on the Apps Tab in the iTunes window on the right and see if they show up on any of the iPad screens. If they do - make sure that all of the apps are selected (checked) to sync - (checkmarks in the boxes next to the app names) - check to make sure that the Sync Apps heading is checked and as well and then sync again. You may have to click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes if the apps were not selected to sync. -
hi - i have recently upgraded to an iphone and find that when i open my MS Outlook on my computer, the emails that were on the iphone get wiped out. Has anyone got a solution to this problem? I'm sure it's very simple when you know the answer! Thanks.
Pay no attention to iinami, the amount of replies to people saying their handsets must have been jailbroken everytime iTunes throws out an error is tremendous. (Clearly you don't need to have any real knowledge to get to level 3 on these forums, let's hope apple's geniuses know a lot more than some of their customers.)

Solution below.
Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software. -
I continue to receive "failed to mount" when trying to install .dmg files or updates. Has anyone found an answer to this problem? I am operating on Mac OS X 10.4.11
10.4.11 was only available as a PowerPC updater application (both as a Combo and as a Delta) to Macs with 10.4 or later that were PowerPC. If you don't have 10.4 installed on your Mac, see this tip:

I have two Macbooks that are connected to the same Comcast Wi-Fi network modem. One of the computers has become very sporadic in receiving the WI-FI signal while the other is unaffected. Both have same operating system (10.5.8). I have restarted computer, and unplugged and retarted modem on several occassions to no avail--one still works the other inconsistent. Have spent a great deal of phone time with Comcast and they suggest acquiring latest OS. Does anyone know a solution to this problem?
This does not sound to be a router problem...You should try to uninstall and re-install the ethernet adapter/card installed in your computer...Do you have 2 Ethernet Adapter's by any chance...Check the Device Manager, Click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>> Double click System, go to Hardware >>> Device manager, click on the plus'+' sign next to Network Adapters and see how many Ethernet Adapters are listed...
Also connect that computer straight to your modem and see check if you get the same message,that 'YOU ARE CONNECTED TO MORE THAN ONE NETWORK'... -
I'm trying to connect to my home wifi with my imac gh5. After I enter the password it says connection timeout or password incorrect. I know there's no issue with the connection but I don't know what else to do. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
What is the make & model of your home Wi-Fi router that you are attempting to connect your G5 iMac to? Which exact model of iMac do you have?
What wireless security type is your router using: WEP, WPA, or WPA2? If you temporarily disable wireless security, can the iMac connect to it now?
