I have an iPod classic and I accidently disconnected just before it was okay to disconnect. I have had this happen before and the only way to fix it was to take it into an apple store. Is there any way to fix it from home?
I have had this happen before. However, there was a moment when my computer froze and a series of thoughts happened and things happened with my computer. I thought for some reason that with my computer freezing right after I connected my iPod that my computer didn't recognize the fact that my iPod was connected. So I know what needs to be done to fix this porblem. My question is can I fix this at home or do I need to go into an Apple store to get it fixed? When this happened before, I had tried a couple different things before taking it in and nothing had worked.
You need a computer with iTunes and an internet connection
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup (if you have one) see:
iOS: How to back up
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 iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I have 2 apple id's with different apps and data saved under each. It's very annoying so now I want to create a new id with my primary email address I use now. If I do that is there any way to transfer all my saved apps and app data like game saves etc so I don't lose all of that information and can easily switch to a singular apple id?
Apple does not transfer content bought with one Apple ID to another Apple ID. Apple will not merge two Apple IDs.
If most of your content was bought with the Yahoo! Apple ID but you now want the Gmail address for your Apple ID, the trick will be to change the address used for the Yahoo ID with the Gmail address. However, to do that you must first free the Gmail address from that other Apple ID. Use the instructions from Apple to substitute another address that is not used as an Apple ID for your Gmail address in the Apple ID with the Gmail address. Then, when the Gmail address is no longer used in an Apple ID, you can use the same instructions to substitute the Gmail address for the Yahoo address in the Apple ID with the Yahoo address.

hello, my question is to forget the questions to buy in the store is there any way to recover it, because hey tried but there is only option to reset the password and no questions
Didn't the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article work for you? If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, only Apple itself can reset the questions.

I have disabled my IPhone while on vacation and do not have my MAC book with me and it will not let me restore it on someone elses computer. If I take it into an Apple store can they do this?
More than likely, they can. So long as you're in the same country you live in.

ive cracked my ipod touch 4g screen does my waranty cover accidental damage for cracked screens and if it does do i just take it into an apple store for repair?
The warranty does not cover accedental damage like a broken screen. However, some time the Genius at the Genius Bar of an Apple store will replace the iPod at not cost. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar and ask. If not under warranty, Apple will exchange yours for:

I just purchased an Iphone 5 and trying to synch to my mac. I am unable to synch as need to upgrade to minimum osx version 10.6.8. Currently running osx 10.5.8. Is there any way to upgrade?
If you're using a PowerPC Mac, no.
If you're using an Intel Mac, phone the online Apple Store and order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

Seagate FreeAgent Go is making a clicking sound and the light is rapidly blinking. My Macbook is no longer recognizing it. Is there any way to pull all the songs I have saved on it? The SeaAgent is less than a month old!
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
Or at least recover the lost data?
Thanks!How to fix: the drive is in warranty, so contact Seagate for a replacement.
How to recover your data: Do you have backups? (If not, you really, really, should.)
You can try downloading Data Rescue, which will run in trial mode and let you know if the data is recoverable. (You can then choose to purchase the full version if it works for you.) A clicking drive, though, is usually (though not always) a sign that the drive cannot be recovered.

I purchased a movie through iTunes and the movie gets stuck on the opening screen and will not play. Has anybody had this happen? And if so is there any solution?
Hey Christian,
I'd follow the troubleshooting steps below, from this article:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
See if that resolves the issue and gets your video playing again.
All the best,

Hello everyone
I've recently messed up my Mac OS X Lion by deleting Aperture, but I need to get my data out of the computer. I've tried to repair it using DU, but it said I needed to backup all my data and reinstall the OS. How do I backup my data to an external drive?
And by the way, I've got an important project in Final Cut Pro X. Is there any way I can back it up (including fxs and positions of the clip) ?
Hope you guys can help me!You need to back up 2 folders, Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects which by default are located on your Movies Folder. You can always check by clicking on a clip inside Fianl Cut X and selecting Show in Finder in the contextual menu for the selected clip.

iTunes shows that there are no songs on my iphone but there are 274 songs there. The data storage shows up as "other" on iTunes. I just want to clear the music on my phone but I can't seem to do so. Is there any way to do this? You used to be able to swipe and delete a song straight from your phone but I can't seem to do that anymore.
That is stealing.

I have an iphone 4 had it for awhile but yesteday the back camera is blurry. I've had this happen before but it looked like there was steam in the camera lens and I let that air out and it went back to normal. So whats the problem this time? My mom isn't willing to buy me another iphone because before I went to a concert and the speakers messed up half the screen. If its the software acting up can I get a free new one?
Moisture has somehow entered your iPhone and specifically the camera. They will do an out-of-warranty replacement for $149 USD.

Hi! My phone speaker is not working, so I cant hear people when they call me. I bought my iphone 4s con February 2013 in the Grand Central (NYC - USA) Apple Store. I would like to know if I can take it to an Apple Store in Spain so they can fix it or change it. Or I need to find a way to take it to the US, where I bought it.
Thanks!!!You will need to return the phone to the US. iPhone warranty is only good in the country of purchase, with the exception of the EU.

iCloud said that my stolen iphone will be wiped when the iphone connects to the internet. Then I received an email saying remote wipe has started. Is there any way to know if remote wipe was completed?

When trying to start firefox a message comes up " the procedure entry point IS Thread Desktop composited could not be located in the dynamic link library user32.dll" I then tell it okay as this is the only button it has abd it then takes me into the Add-on window and freezes up and I then have to reboot and avoid using firefox
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After trying to install Firefox upgrade and IE8 ==

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.125 Safari/533.4Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

I am running OS 10.8.2 and everytime I wake my computer from sleep, the wifi is disconnected and I have to use the Network Diagnostics assistant to reconnect to my router. Is there any way to get it to not disconnect everytime? I have resorted to just leaving Network Diagnostics open and just rejoining the network every single time I wake the computer. Any help here?
