I get "iPad disabled" message. Can I restore it without losing all my data? Can I restore it from a friend's iTunes account without messing up his account? If so, how?

My iPad turned on while it was in my suitcase and began playing through my iTunes music. I turned it off and can no longer turn it back on. I get a message "iPad disabled." How can I restore it without losing my data? I'm using a friend's computer and am particularly concerned not to mess up his data (including his iTunes account).

You won't lose data, if you've been backing up your ipad on a regular basis.

I have multiple itunes accounts and had to do a restore. I can only see songs from one of the itunes accounts on my new iphone.

My old iphone died on me so I had to purchase a new one. A guy at the Apple store helped me with a restore via iCloud. I have two itunes accounts, one for US and another for oversea itunes. I only see songs I purchased in US itunes on my new iphone, which is my iCloud account ID as well. How do I have the songs I purchased in another foreign itunes to also appear on my new phone?

Are those songs in the iTunes library on the computer the device is normally synced with? If so, sync them to the device.

HT4914 I will soon be getting a new PC and I'd hate to lose all the music I've purchased/downloaded from places other than iTunes , is iMatch my solution or am I out of luck?

From what I've read I think this is my solution , but I'm still unsure.

The general question of copying all user data and settings to a new computer is really out of scope for this forum - however, Microsoft does have tools and tutorials on their site on how to do this (details will vary depending on the version(s) of Windows running on your old and new computers. A Google search for "Windows transfer data to new computer" should provide useful results.
Detailed instructions specific to iTunes also depend on the version(s) of Windows you're running, and on how your current iTunes library is organized. If you can post a response with answers to the following questions I can point you in the right direction.
What version of Windows in running on your old computer?
What version of Windows is running on your new computer?
Do you have either:
a network that both old and new computers are connected to, or
an external (USB) hard drive?
What version of iTunes are you running on the old computer?
Now, on your old computer run iTunes (I'll assume for now that its running version 11), press Ctrl-B if the menu bar is not visible, then select Edit > Preferences > Advanced. You should get a window that looks like this:
What is shown as the "iTunes Media folder location" (1)?
Is the box labeled "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" (2) checked?
Is the box labeled "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" (3) checked?

How can I transfer funds from passbook to my iTunes account? I accidentally bought a passbook gift card instead of an iTunes gift card.

Is there a way to transfer the card to my iTunes account?

You can only purchase from your own country's store - to be able to buy from the US store you need a valid billing address in the US and be in the US when buying/downloading from it. You can try requesting that the film be added to the UK store, but ultimately it's the film studio that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

I have an Apple Configurator install that wont recognize an iPad when I attach it via USB. I cant prepare it or refresh it. It was supervised. I get an error message that says "policy does not have correct profile data". Please help!!!

I have an Apple Configurator install that wont recognize an iPad when I attach it via USB. I cant prepare it or refresh it. It was supervised. I get an error message that says "policy does not have correct profile data". At some point there was a mismatch between the profile on the iPad and the MAC server. The profile on the MAC server has been deleted and the iPad has been erased and reset to default. I need to be able to get Configurator to recognize this device to prepare it for deployment and issue Apps to it. Please help!!

Run the application 'Terminal.app' which you will find in '/Applications/Utilities' on your Macintosh.
Type this into it: defaults delete com.apple.configurator PreprationSavedPolicyDefaultsKey
Hit the return key.
If you get no error message, it worked, and you can quit the app.

Icloud photo library won't work unless connected to wifi. If I am trying to attach a pic to a message or email, I get the error "photo can't be downloaded from iphoto library, please try later." If I connect to wifi it works just fine.

If I am trying to attach a pic to a message or email, I get the error "photo can't be downloaded from icloud photo library, please try later." If I connect to wifi it works just fine. If it's truly "storing" a low res version on my phone it shouldn't have to download anything. I can understand the uploading of pics to library only being done over wifi, but there are plenty of times I'm going to want to send a pic when I'm not going to be near a network. It does work occasionally, but the norm is that I get the error.

Hi Ed,
There is issue with Windows 7 when you send the email. It gives the message you specified.
But you can always use Adobe Email client to send your images. In this workflow also you would get the error message but you can ignore it and continue to send the mail.
Thanks,
Sourabh

If iTunes is otherwise working properly start with TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, otherwise move on to Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

When I try to open iweb I get the following message: Can't open file "~/Sites/NAVIGATOR/index.html." How do I fix this? Using 10.6.3 soon to be 10.6.6 and then Lion.

When I try to open iweb I get the following message: Can’t open file “~/Sites/NAVIGATOR/index.html.” How do I fix this? Using 10.6.3 soon to be 10.6.6 and then Lion. I have never opened the product before and have had it on the computer since new.

Go into your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and see if there's a file titled Domain.sites. If there is double click on it and see if iWeb opens.
If there is no Domain file there do the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.

Had the same problem and the same message -- was suddenly unable to access icloud apps on my pc, also using Windows 7 and Internet Explorer. After several days of pulling my hair out, decided to try a different browser and was able to get in by using Firefox instead of Internet Explorer. Hope this helps.

Any one have any clues ????

Hi!
I encountered a problem a few weeks ago which is a bit like yours. In my case my Apple ID stopped working after I upgraded to Mountain Lion. I finally found out it was because of the fact that my Apple ID has in fact been an alias within my much older MobileMe/iCloud account. And they weren't able to merge or reset the account at first. It took me a lot of mails and a few calls to get them to resetting the account and changing my Apple ID (for the Apple Store, iTunes, etc.) to a different, non-iCloud related email adress.
Anyway, maybe you can call the Apple Support and kindly ask them to reset the password for this ominous @me.com account so you can finally start using it.
Did you try logging into iCloud using your adress with the appendix @me.com because not everybody has got the @icloud.com ending yet. Technically it's no problem to create a new iCloud account. I can understand though that you'd like to get "your name" back .

I get "iPad disabled" message. Can I restore it without losing all my data? Can I restore it from a friend's iTunes account without messing up his account? If so, how?
