I have the iphone 3g and tried to update it to the latest version on itunes, which i found out later was not compatible with 3g and is now not turning on, what should i do?

iphone 3g not working because of uncompatible update, what should i do?

There is no way to update a 3G to iOS 4.3.x using approved Apple procedures (meaning using iTunes), so presumably you used a non-approved procedure to do it. You may now have an iBrick, but you can try to restore it to a supported version using iTunes and DFU mode. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808. If this fails there may still be a way, but you won't find it in this forum. You need to try some iPhone hacking sites.

I am running Yosemite and have just bought Pro Tools Express with the intent to Upgrade to Pro Tools 11. Pro Tools Express is not compatible with Yosemite and will not install. How can I get this done?

I have had this problem for close to a year. I have an Extreme base station, two Airport Express's and multiple G4 Mac's with up to date software. I have spent a huge amount of time trouble shooting, resetting, reapplying software and finally calling Applecare without any help. It would be great to get this problem solved.

My iMac won't support the latest version of iTunes which I need in order to add apps to my new iPhone5

I recently purchased an iPhone5. When I tried to sync it using my iMac with Lion, I was told to upgrade my iTunes. I have the latest version of iTunes which my iMac will support but that won't work to sync my iPhone. Are there other ways to sync my iphone?
Thanks for any ideas/hellp.

FF4 tells me it's not compatible with Norton and SafeCentral...is this true?

When I downloaded FF4 it said it was not compatible with Norton and SafeCentral security systems I use on my laptop. Yet they show they are working on my computer. Are they working or aren't they when I have FF4 open?

We have released a new version of the plugin that is compatible with Firefox 4.

My ipod touch is disabled, i installed the latest version of itunes, but cant figure out how to restore, can anyone help with this?

My ipod touch is disabled, i installed the latest version of itunes, but cant figure out how to restore the ipod, can anyone help?

If you run into the "another installation" message even after the reboot of the PC (which is an excellent idea by HTP ProXy), reregistering your Windows Installer Service is worth a try.
First, launch a command prompt as an administrator. In your Start search, type cmd then right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".
At the command prompt:
Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
Restart the PC and try another reinstalll.

I have an iPhone 4. I recently updated. It loaded all my iTunes music purchases but not the music I had on my computer. This music was on my iPhone before I updated. I have tried re-sycing but not getting anywhere. Says it cannot locate my music files but I see it on my lap top but cannot play it or get it on my iPhone. Can anyone walk me through this?

Thanks. I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data. Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again.

My iPhone won't sync with my iTunes because it says I need to download the latest version of iTunes, which I already did. I've tried to redownload multiple times but it just keeps telling me I already have it downloaded.

I keep plugging in my iPhone to my computer, but iTunes says it does not recognize my phone and won't sync because it needs the latest version of iTunes (11.1 I believe?) to work. I have already downloaded the latest version of iTunes, and I have retried multiple times just incase and it says I already have the latest version downloaded. What can I do to make iTunes recognize my phone again?

Hey there RMBrizzolara,
It sounds like you have downloaded iTunes from the download site, but when you connect the phone to your computer you are prompted to update iTunes to 11.1. I would start by opening iTunes and then verifying the version that is running with this article:
iTunes: How to find which version you are using
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1208
On Windows
Open iTunes.
On the Help menu, click About iTunes. A window appears with scrolling text. The first text that appears displays the iTunes version (press the Space bar to freeze the text if it's moving too fast for you to read).
Also when you download the iTunes installer, you MUST double click the file that was downloaded to install it.
You can check in your Programs folder and try running the iTunes application from there to see if that works.
Cheers,
Sterling

While importing and burning some CDs, my entire library has disappeared. Also, there no longer is a "burn file to disc" command in the File menu. I have downloaded the latest version of itunes which restored only tracks I bought from the iTunes store.

Also, the "burn playlist to disc" command has disappeared from the File options. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes but that only restored tracks I'd bought from the iTunes store. I also tried setting up another logon.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied & renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

- it now just shows the itunes symbol and i cant even get into the iphone....
it wont do a restore or connect to itunes..........Help needed by iphone nerd/pro

You have no choice but to restore the phone.
However, I'm sure you've been smart enough to have backed up your data before starting the most significant update in iOS history,right?

I have an original iPhone. With latest version of iTunes, 10.5, it doesn't sync anymore. I know its old but does anyone know what happened?

I have an original iphone. With the latest version of itunes, 10.5, it no longer syncs. The name of my device doesn't appear in itunes just a gneric iphone. I know its old and apple no longer provides updates to ios but taking away my ablilty to sync is hard to believe. Any suggestions

Did you do a backup of iOS before you changed iTunes?
I would do a reverse and go back to the old iTunes, then update your iPhone and then update iTunes.
Version 4.x of iOS has been out forever, update, update, update.....it is very important to maintain compatability in hardware & software devices/pcs'/Macs.

Have recently installed AVG Free 2012, then received a Firefox update stating that Firefox 7.0.1 was not compatible with AVG and would be disabled; my AVG screen says I am up to date and protected. Which is correct?

In the last couple of days, I received an update of the Free AVG 2012 program for virus protection. Saturday morning when my husband booted up and checked e-mail, he first received an update from Firefox which then alerted him that my computer was now not compatible with AVG, AVG would be turned off; should Firefox search for another compatible program? Having no clue, he clicked NO. When I check the AVG icon in the system tray, it shows AVG2012 up to date and running. The appropriate boxes are checked ok. How do I know what is accurate at this point? Is AVG disabled or not?

Solution: (Free Download Manager)
Go here: http://codecpack.co/download/Free_Download_Manager.html and download Free Download Manager 3.8.1067 Beta 3, it works perfectly with Firefox 5.0.1
Solution: (to Google mail aka Gmail)
I have had this problem for a while since I did a previous Firefox update, where I had to force Gmail to load in Basic HTML else it's next to impossible to use it. The solution is this: simply update your Java, and Gmail will work without a problem using Standard HTML. To update your Java go here: http://www.java.com/en/ and select "Free Java Download".
And beta normally, universally, means "the not quite there yet version of the version we're aiming for" NORMALLY used during production and testing of a type of software.

I cannot install the latest version of iTunes on laptop (windows xp). I receive a windows installer error message. Not having any issues installing any other software. Was having no issue syncing w iPhone. Made the mistake of uninstalling prior version.

I cannot install the latest version of iTunes on my laptop (windows xp). I receive a windows installer error. Am not having any problem installing other software or syncing w iPhone. Made the mistake today of uninstalling my older version and not cannot install new. Need new version in order to sync w new iPad.
Any help would be appreciated.

Apparently, security programs like Macafee and Norton view Itunes updates as new programs and block then from access. If you add Itunes to the list of exemptions, it solves the problem.

Stop the constant pop-ups telling me to get Firefox 5. Something I use all the time is not compatible with it so I do not want 5.0. I get a box about every hour.

Actually there are two things I use a lot that are not compatible with Firefox 5. I did switch to it and discovered the big problem, so I had to go back to my previous Firefox. One of them that I use constantly for my passwords is Roboform -- I don't remember which one but one of the most recent. I get a box in the middle of my computer about once an hour saying that I should switch to Firefox 5. It is driving me CRAZY. How can I make it stop?
Also, who has to make Roboform and Firefox 5 compatible?

Every add-on developer is responsible for updating their add-on as Mozilla releases new versions of Firefox. Check with Roboform for an update for their Firefox add-on.
You can use the Add-on Compatibility Reporter to try and "fix" that other add-on. <br />
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ <br />
ACR has worked with every 4.0 extension that I have tried it with on Firefox 5.0 - but there may be some add-ons where it won't work, and the add-on has to actually be modified by the original developer.

IPhone not compatible with device - when it's not connected to anything

When travelling, I use my iPhone as my alarm clock. So I put it on Airplane Mode so it doesn't buzz when e-mails or calls come in. Last night, it was on Airplane Mode, wifi was off and so was Bluetooth. It wasn't plugged into anything.
Early this morning, I was half asleep but noticed it got brighter in the room. The phone had lit up. It had an error message: "This device is not compatible with the iPhone" (or some similar). I think that's strange, because the iPhone wasn't connected to anything.
Later on, I turned off Airplane Mode and got ready for work. I got the error message again - but still, it wasn't connected to anything (and still no wifi or Blutooth, both turned off).
It wasn't the normal incompatible error message I've seen when actually connecting the phone to a device, the one that asks if you want to go into Airplane Mode.
Anyone experienced this before? I did a reset once, and it did it one more time (this time with the longer error about switching to Airplane Mode), but hasn't done it since then.

the same thing happened to me, my iphone was in my pocket when i was at the movies and my drink had been dripping from condensation onto that pocket, when i got out my pants were wet in that spot and my iphone was wet. I showed that message too but when it dried out it stopped doing that.

Enhanced forecaster is not compatible with Firefox 3.6 or 4.0. What can I do? I realy like that feature.

Enhanced forecaster does not work with my current firefox 3.6 I can go to help and hit repair/extensions and it works for a while. When you go to add ons, it says it is not compatible with 3.6. I downloaded 4.0 and it's the same way. It does not work.

Problem resolved. I was able to download Firefox 4.0.1 and make the software work. Thank you for the on line support.
