Do whatever you like.

I just recently completely reset my iPod touch and now it won't let me connect to wifi, it won't even let me access the wifi option in the settings. The wifi button is grey and says: "no wifi"

So I've been trying looking at manuals and online and I can't find anything helpful at all!!! help please? D:

Not a good sign. Here is Apple's article on that. Frequently it is due to a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

TS4036 I had to create a new Apple ID because the previous ID was linked to my daughters phone. Apple ID setup was successful but now I need to know how to backup all my information and create a new iCloud ID because we're sharing storage space.

Had to create a new AppleId because the old one that I had was linked to my daughters IPhone account now that was successful I'm having trouble setting up a new iCloud account under my new apple ID due to it not transferring.

If you have both already been syncing data to the same account and now have merged data, you would have to set up a new account with your new ID, migrate a copy of the data to the new account, then eliminate your daughter's data from your account and vice versa.
To do this, on the phone that will be changing accounts go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The other phone will not be effected by this.) Next, set up the new iCloud account on this phone using the other Apple ID and turn iCloud syncing for for contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to this new account. At this point you will have two different iCloud accounts, one for each phone, with identical data on them.
You will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the unwanted data (such as deleting your daughter's contacts from your account, and vice versa). These changes will be reflected on each phone. When finished you will have individual iCloud accounts with just your own data on them.

HT4623 I don't know what has happened but the update didn't work and now it asks me to restore the iPad. I don't know whether I should as i'm too scared it will delete everything i had on my iPad. What should i do if i did backup my iPad before the update

So i have a serious problem regarding the iOS update on my iPad 4 and i don't know whether i should restore it because i'm scared it will loose all the data.

You are saying that you DID backup your iPad so there should be no worries at all. After you restore the iOS, you can restore from the backup - and sync with iTunes, if you are using iTunes - and you should be fine. If you see the iTunes logo and the USB cable on the screen, you are in recovery mode.
Read this for more information.
If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple
If you didn't backup your iPad, there is nothing that you can do about it now. You will lose everything when you restore. You can add you purchased content back to the device using the purchased tabs in all of the iStores or you can sync your content back to the iPad if you use iTunes.
No matter what, you have to restore if you want to be able to use your iPad again.

TS1814 I had to restore my Ipod Touch and now I can't connect to anything on it. When it asks for my Apple ID it comes up with an error message and says that it can't connect to the server. I have checked my WiFi connection and its connected.

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

Can I have a Mavericks disc mailed to my house? I had trouble downloading it through the App Store, and now it won't do anything at all when redownloading it.

Apple doesn't create installation disks for OSX 10.7 and later. You can create your own disk/USB bootable installer, but this requires downloading the installation package from the app store first.
1) Make sure you have a stable internet connection. Try directly connecting via ethernet port, versus Wifi, if you are experiencing a weak Wifi Signal or intermediate loss of connectivity
2) From the App Store, go to the Menu Bar, Store > Sign out.
3) Navigate to the /Applications folder and drag the partially completed download of the installer to the trash.
4) Open the App store, sign back in, and redownload Mavericks.

I had to reset a PayPal account with iTunes and now I keep getting a your apple I'd has been disabled on both my phone and iPod. I've already done the steps in iTunes on my computer now what?

I had to reset my PayPal account with iTunes and now I'm getting a apple I'd has been disabled on both my iPad and iPhone. I've already done all the steps on my computer. Now what?

They give me that option when I'm setting up my account and I've got all that worked out. But my apple I'd is still disabled on my Mac, iPad, and iPhone. I can't download anything nor can I update any of my apps. I've even changed my account to a credit card and it still didn't help.
Any ideas? I've put in a support request. Hopefully they won't take too long.

HT1420 One of my computers had to re install and now I need to authorize my new computer but keep telling me I reached the limit for 5 computers. What do I do?

One of my computers had to re install and now I need to authorize my new computer but keep telling me I reached the limit for 5 computers. What do I do?

I have the same problem. What load of BS.
I feel so sorry for people that switched over from PC to mac because they were misled to believe that 'macs just work'.
Imagine someone without a degree in patience and computer engineering ever being able to work this problem out.
All I want to do it sync my iPad with some movies that I bought. NOPE I have apparently authorized more than 5 computers which is ridiculous because I own.... 1 computer. LOL.
Really bored with Apple's paranoia, ego and illogical control.

Did you try deleting the mail account, then adding it back? I've read a lot of times that is what needs to happen in order for it to work properly.

HT5621 When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

You cannot merge Apple IDs but you can go to Settings > iCloud and 'Delete Account'. When prompted to turn off documents and data, choose the only option which is Delete from my iPhone, but on the other prompt for Contacts, Calendars, etc you can choose 'Keep on my iPhone' Then once the Account is Deleted form the iPhone, log back in with the correct Apple ID and choose Merge when prompted. This will merge your data from this iPhone with that iCloud account effectively putting your devices on the same account.

HT204053 Our family has several apple devices, iPad, touch, and now iMac, our original iTunes are all under a different apple id. do we keep our own accounts even in cloud? do we all have access to each others media? (First time out with all this..)

Our family has several apple devices, iPad, touch, and now iMac, our original iTunes are all under a different apple id. do we keep our own accounts even in cloud? do we all have access to each others media? (First time out with all this..)

There is no problem about using one ID for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match, and another for iCloud and its email and syncing facilities. This way you can all use the same iTunes account but have separate emails and calendars etc.

I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one?

I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one? If it could be fixed, how much would it cost?

If it is still under warranty you can call the 800 number to apple and enter the serial number and it will tell you if it is under warranty or not if not its like $30 basically for them to help or something like that it said today when i called...
Or take it to a genius bar if you have one near?
Or further explain what setting you are needing fixed back and im sure someone here can help you for free!

You can try contacting iTunes Support and ask them if they can remove the balance from your account so that you can change countries : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

My ipad 3 froze and now is not turning back on what should i do?

my ipad 3 froze and now is not turning back on what should i do?

Hi,
I have the same problem. My Ipad 3 was a bit slow/unresponsive, and then it just went blank. I pressed the home button to see if it would come back on, and it was extremely slow, but it did show me the home screen. However, then it went off and wont come back on at all now. I have tried charging, tried the reboot, connected to itunes (which cannot detect the ipad) and nothing is working.
The ipad is only 2 months old, and no damage!
Any suggestions? Thanks
