I have been fighting for 3 hours, have gone through all troubleshooting

I have NEVER had so much trouble with getting support in my life.
I have a 6th gen Nano. Windows control panel recognizes it and the Nano indicates that it is connected. I have gone through evey troubleshooting site imaginable. I can NOT get the Nano to show up in I-tunes. I have run the repair installation on I-tunes. I have no idea what to try next. It worked fine a couple of weeks ago although I hate the new I-tunes format.

Yes, of course. iTunes was around before there was an iTunes Store. And I think Apple cares MORE that you purchased an iPod, and LESS about where you get your music to play on the iPod.
You can buy music the "old school" way, on CD, and "rip" them into your iTunes library using iTunes.
You can download/buy music from other sources, as longs as the format is MP3 or AAC, and don't use copy protection (DRM). NOTE: iTunes Store music downloads do not use any DRM.
One example is Amazon.com.
http://www.amazon.com/MP3-Music-Download/b/ref=sa_menu_mp3_str1?ie=UTF8&node=163 856011
They offer a utility called Amazon MP3 Downloader, which automatically places your downloads into your iTunes library.
If the source just provides you with the downloaded song files, all you need to do is open a window showing the files or the folder containing the files. Run iTunes and select Music in the sidebar, under LIBRARY. Then drag the songs files or the folder containing the files from its window to the iTunes window, and drop them there. iTunes will add the songs to your iTunes library.
Once the songs are in your iTunes library, you can automatically sync or manually load them onto your shuffle.

HT4259 I have been trying for hours to extend my Extreme Gen 5 network with an Express Gen 2. But no matter what I do or try, it doesn't work. What does happen is my internet gets block somehow when the Express looks like it's set up and 'green' - no in

I have been trying for hours to extend my Extreme Gen 5 network with an Express Gen 2. But no matter what I do or try, it doesn't work. What does happen is my internet gets blocked somehow when the Express is online and looks like it's set up perfect and 'green' - but no internet connection for anything even though the Extreme is green and the modem is good. Once I disconnect the Express, everything is good again.
I've tried LAN, WAN, though a switch, direct connect, Extreme set to Extend the network, the Express set to be an extension. Most of the time I get an error trying to update the Express. But when it seems to be set up perfect, the entire house can't get to the internet. Just when it looks right, it is so wrong.
If anyone can give me exact steps (e.g., "...from the Base Station menu, select the Restore Default Setting option" vice "...just restore the defaults..."), I would greatly appreciate it. I'm left to the conclusion that the Express is faulty. I've been using Airport Utility 6.2 from Mountain Lion on one computer and Airport Utility 5.6.1 from Snow Leopard on another computer (the latter give more control while the former just want you to 'forget' the Express).

I finally got it working. I was trying to set it up ethernet. My biggest mistake was when the new Express came on, I did not select 'Continue' - I went straight to manual thinking that I would get the most setup options in manual mode. So everything I initially tried always resulted in 'wireless'. Even when I would update or restore default settings, the Express would not completely restart. Or sometimes I would get an error. So most of the time I had to unplug it. So when it came back up, none of my changes were retained. But there were a lot of times when everything was green and appeared to be fine. But anytime the ethernet cable was plugged in, no more internet.
So here's the weird part. When I finally tried 'continue' (vice manual), I would get 4 options. One would be 'ethernet' extended. So I would select it, it gave me green lights, all looked good, and still the same problem. This is when I got frustrated. I thought I had exhausted all possible combinations.
But somehow when trying continue again after another restore, I only got 3 options. One was the same ethernet extended option (can't remember what the missing 4th one was). And this time it worked - it gave me the big green circle with the checkmark saying it was successful. I don't know what I did different, but I know now that it won't work if 4 options come up to choose from. It will work if only 3 options come up. And success if only verified by the big checkmark. Had anyone anywhere said the checkmark declaring success is validation, then maybe I wouldn't have gone down so many rabbit holes thinking it should have been successful.
As for which Airport Utility I prefer, 6.2 looks nice, but it would just ignore the Express and would want me to 'forget' it and would not let me edit it. Airport Utility 5.6.1 was the one that I ended up using the most and finally had success with. It still strikes me as odd that there is no manually way to pick ethernet, it can only be choosen following a 'restore defaults', and only from the 3-option list (the 4-option list had the same ethernet choice, but it no worky).
Thanks for the response. I really do appreciate it.
Aiport Extreme Gen5 - internet access and router
Airport Express Gen2 - connected via ethernet, extending my wireless
- configured while connect directly to the Extreme, but now on a switch (16-port hub)
Using Airport 5.6.1
1) Restore Defaults from Base Station menu
2) Following restart, Select Continue
3) Of the 3 option presented, select 'ethernet.... extend network...'
- if 4 options are present, may not work
4) Wait for the green circle with the big white checkmark.
5) Connected Express to the switch where a cable went to other end of house - works.
Dead-zone went from 2mbps to 24mbps.
I probably spent 4 hours chasing my tail in anger. The correct way took about 5 minutes total.
Thanks again.

Hi Eric,
The message seems to totally disappear. It is going to an AOL customer in UK. I changed their address to start with a lowercase letter & the message was returned to me by AOL as undeliverable, I then changed the first letter of the address beck to upper case, the same I have been using for years, but again it disappeared.
I appreciate any help you can give me. Tks Gord.

HT5610 How can You authorise your Windows Vista computer??? I do not get this drop down menu nowI cannot get this here, have been trying for hours, why is this so uncooperative? My first impression of I tunes is not so good after that.

How can you authorise your windows vista computer to play stuff you downloaded from itunes??? I cannot get this drop down menu shown on your support pages whatever I do. I have been trying for ages. This is not a good first impression.

Authorize a Mac or PC
Review the following before you authorize a computer:
You can authorize up to five computers with your Apple ID.
You must authorize your computer to download past purchases, use Home Sharing, or use the Automatic Downloads setting.
You can play unprotected music that's in the AAC file format without authorizing your computer. This includes iTunes Plus tracks and content from sources other than the iTunes Store, like your audio CDs.
To authorize a computer, follow these steps:
Open iTunes.
Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
You may need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still authorize your computer.
In some cases, iTunes may ask you to authorize the computer again. iTunes should use the same authorization as before if the computer is in your list of authorized computers.
Learn what to do if iTunes repeatedly asks you to authorize when you try to play your content.

Note : If you are Unable to see the Store Tab on your iTunes then click anywhere on your iTunes and press
Ctrl + B key on your keyboard once and you should be able to see the Store tab in your iTunes.

TS2755 I don't have an iPhone. My friend does and we have been texting for 5 months now and all of a sudden I can't revcieve her messages. I can message any other iPhone no problem and she has no problem texting other people as well. What is happening?

I don't have an iPhone. My friend does and we have been texting for 6 months and havn't had any problems. All of a sudden I cannot get her text messages. She revieces mine but i cannot recieve her's. I can also text other iPhone users with no difficulty at all.
What is happening?

I would have your friend first do a reset on her iPhone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. Also, SMS is a carrier feature and if she is having trouble, she might want to contact her carrier and have them double check her account provisioning. It might just need a reset on their end.

I cannot get my Iphone 4S to appear in Itunes and have gone through all troubleshooting guides

I have gone through all the troubleshooting guides, ensured its 64 bit version I have downloaded, the PC is recognising the phone but Itunes will not

I will assum that you are using the latest version of iTunes 11. Do you even see the devices heading in the sidebar or do you even see the sidebar? If not, go to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu so that it is visible.
If you have done all of that and the iPad still doesn't show up.....
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X - Support - Apple
Not knowing if you are using WiFi or cable syncing, you can simply try, quitting iTunes, reboot the Mac and restart the iPad and see if that helps.

TS1538 I have gone through all troubleshooting steps and can't find a solution. My iPhone is no longer showing up in iTunes. Can anyone help?

I have gone through all of the troubleshooting steps and still do not see my iPhone 4 (6.1.3) when I connect with USB to iTunes. Can anyone help?

I'd try removing and then re-installing iTunes. An uninstall will not remove your music etc. That should re-install the usb drivers etc. I don't think you can separately delete and install the drivers.

My Ipod have been loading for hours and it never change how can i fix it?

At first i was playing games for 1 hours then my ipod died and it been loading for a long time and still not turn off. How can i fix it?

Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

CSS not registering in browser and have been debugging for hours, is there something I've missed?

I recently built a website for a client (boelmanshaw.com) in Wordpress. The site's CSS registers just fine in all the other browsers (IE, Chrome, and Safari), but it will not work in Firefox. I've debugged the HTML as much as I could, and I've been through the CSS multiple times to see what the problem could be. I haven't found anything that would be a problem. I also am not familiar with php, so I don't know if that would contribute to the problem, as well. I'm new with coding sites, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I see in the Error Console that you've made a typo: a round bracket ( instead of an curly bracket { and seems to cause it.
You can also use the Web Console (Web Developer > Web Console;Ctrl+Shift+K) to see this error.

Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Afterwards, turn iMessage and FaceTime off and restart your device:

I bought the mountain lion app and i have been trying for days to install it someone help i am going crazy up in here!

I bought the mountain lion since last week and have been trying for hours to install it but i am not even getting to install it someone HELP!!!

I wonder, if you may want to clean up your system first. You could try to scan and repair permissions on that machine, make sure no disc errors, and also do a final pram reset. Then try to re-install again.
If the install still halts, then re-download the installer.

I am totally ignorant when it comes to these products. How can I put music on my shuffle without paying for it on itunes? Can't I find a song somewhere and where and then transfer it to my shuffle somehow. I have been trying for 3 hours.

I am totally ignorant when it comes to these products and devices. I have a ipod shuffle, 4th generation. I want to find music, without purchasing a song on itunes and then copy it to my shuffle. Is this possible. If so, where do I find the music and how do I get it to my shuffle. I have been trying for 3 hours and about to give up. Please help me.

I have been trying for an hour to delete all of the photos from my iphone5. Can't do it, except for 1 at a time. I can't even connect it to my PC and delete them from my computer. Why isn't this easy and intuitive?

I have been trying for an hour to delete all of the photos from my iPhone 5. I have googled it several times and there doesn't seem to be a solution. Have tried deleting them from my PC. One at a time deleting is impractical - I have 1000 photos! Why isn't this easy and intuitive?

When you hooked up to your PC did they attempt to import? Had you imported them previously and not deleted when the import was complete?
If you have to delete them directly on your device, you need to press the select button and just keep selecting until you have all of them selected, then put them in the trash.
You do not need to select one then trash it, then select another then trash it. You can select as many as you like before clicking on the trash icon.
Cheers,
