I have reset an Ipod 4g, and everytime I try to install ios 6.0, half way through is says failed. Can anyone help me please? I have tried 5 times... :(
I recently purchased an Ipod 4G from a family friend. When I set up my account, I originally was going to keep some of the items on it but found they were not appropriate for my 10 yr old. So I reset the IPOD erasing everything and started new. After numerous attempts, I have not been successful, at installing ios 6.0. About half way through the process it says, download failed.
Is there a trick to doing this, or is something wrong? Please help.
Thanks,
Twilasangel
Assuming you are doing it by connecting the iPod to your computer and restoring via iTunes, at what stage of the process (what is listed in the status bar of iTunes) when it fails?

Hi, I have a old IPod Nano, rarely used. I don't know how to download a podcast to it. Can anyone help me?
You will need both License Keys the Lightroom 4 upgrade key and the Lightroom 3 key. You can download the latest LR 4.4.1 from the site below. Just make sure you get the appropriate one for your operating system.
Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh
Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows
Install then you first enter the LR 4 upgrade serial number and then the LR 3 serial number when prompted. -
i keep this bad boy in the car and i will say the ipod itself probably hasn't been updated in a while, but i last had it connected 3 weeks before 10.7 was released and it was connecting fine. i've repaired then, removed / reinstalled itunes, made sure all my drivers are up to date, tried different usb ports all with no luck, even tried resetting my ipod incase that helped with no luck, tried using different cords as i own and iphone aswell and so does my wife but neither made a difference.
is it possible that the problem is with the ipod itself i mean it has to be close to 6 years old, it still connects to docks and headphones work fine just seems and be and issue connecting to itunes that none of our other idevices are having.If you connect the device in Disk Mode, does it stay mounted in Windows and iTunes?

Your best option is to restore a backup library made before this happened.
Otherwise you you can try using a file recovery applicaiton like SubrosaSoft FileSalvage. It will run in demo mode and show you what images it can recover before you have to purchase it. Other similar applicaiton can be found by going to MacUpdate.com and searching for "file recovery".
I guess I don't have to issue the standard warning of do not make any change to an iPhoto library from the Finder, do I.

I wake the computer from sleep and then it freezes either within 5 minutes or it could take an hour.
Try to repair disc permissions. Also see if MSOffice is compatible with Lion.

Hi there, I'm trying to use pages 5.2 for the first time and I cannot find how to connect two consecutive pages together as I use to do with earlier versions of Pages... Any help?
Word Processing templates have what is called a Document Body.
That is the area defined by the margins and holds a default text area which flows from page to page.
Examples of WP templates are the Letters, Reports, CVs etc.
Layout templates have that switched off and require you to add Textboxes or Shapes into which you can type text. Each page is an individual Section and no text flows from page to page.
Examples of Layout templates are the Brochures, Business Cards, Posters, Newsletters etc
In Pages '09 you can manually link Textboxes to flow in your own set order and across pages. Pages 5 has dropped this along with 100 other features.

Hi, I have a 4th generation iPod Touch, and everytime I try to plug it in my Sony dock, for the 2 first seconds, on it's screen, the iPod would display the
image of the battery, but it would automatically turn into a yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it, and wrote
under it that the accessory is not working with the iPod Touch... Please help me!!! P.S : i have my dock since 2 years, and it recently started showing this message) ...Disabling the computer's security software (firewall and antivirus) usually resolves that error.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Try to backup and restore you device in itunes...restoring the device is like removing the iOS software off the device and re-add in a newer software, after you have restore you device, MAKE SURE YOU SET UP YOUR DEVICE LIKE A NEW DEVICE, DONT NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP!!... give the device a chance to use the newer software and see if the issue still persisting, if the issue still on going then its would be a hardware issue.
Call Apple Care and see if your device is still under warranty to get it replace -

Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. -
Hi, I have had my MacBook Pro stolen and the police have mentioned about using iCloud to see if I can track it's whereabouts - however I have no idea if I had iCloud on my MacBook or how to track it if I did - can anyone help me please? Thanks
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
To see if you have iCloud, open http://www.icloud.com and log in with your Apple ID. If you can access to iCloud, you have iCloud. If you get an error message or you can't access, you don't have iCloud. This only works if you only have the Mac (not an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad with iCloud).
Apart from that, "Find my Mac" must be turned on in the Mac in order to track it, so if it wasn't turned on, you won't be able to track it. If it was turned on, the computer must be connected to the Internet to be tracked.
If you can access to iCloud through http://www.icloud.com, choose "Find my iPhone" and look at the Devices list. If your MacBook Pro shows up, "Find my Mac" is turned on, so see if you can track it and tell to the police that it's possible to track your MacBook Pro -

I have a business and I use iCal for all my appointments, how can I print receipts from my MacBook to a receipt printer?
I want my clients to have a receipt of the services that they have paid for, can anyone HELP ME PLEASE?Well...I went to the modem (Westell, WireSpeed), found the NAT settings, once again, I'm WAY over my head, I am assuming this is a TCP connection (as opposed to a UDP) and per Lorex my mobile devices will use port 1025. So I gave it a "global port range" of 1-10 and I indicated that the "base host port" was 80, 1025, & 9000 (ports 1,2,3). When I selected the 'enable' it asked for a "host devise" my choices are my IPhone, IMac and the IP address for the dvr, so I choose the dvr. I still cannot connect and canyouseeme still can NOT find these open ports. This is taking up my whole day! I don't know how people figure this stuff out.

I am struggling! Help! I need to move 3500 pics-in TIFF format in 175 folders and sub folders from my old PSE6, Windows XP to my new PSE13, Windows8.1. I have the PSE6 backed up on an external hard drive. What is the safe way to do this? Can anyone at Adobe help me? Please?
Use the Organizer backup & restore method, starting the restore from the TLY file. Probably best to use a custom location as the XP file structure will be different. See this link for further help:
