I have the new iPad Air and I'm having trouble connecting to iTunes. When I connect my iPad, my computer recognizes my iPad but iTunes does not. Why is this? I have a Windows 8.1 computer, and I've installed the latest iTunes. Please help!
Please answer ASAP!!
Hi eisense,
I also have a similar problem but not quite the same. First of all, let me give you the setup of the configuration:
-- Desktop PC OS: Windows 8.1 64-bit
-- iTunes version: 11.3.1.2 (latest) for 64-bit
-- iPad Air with 3G/4G SIM slot
-- iOS version: 7.1.2 (11D257)
-- Several USB peripherals: Keyboard, mouse, printer, scanner.
What I want to do is to sync my iPad with iTunes (NOT to charge it via USB). However, I get a strange behaviour 99% of the time (I will talk about the 1% later). The behaviour is the following:
1. I connect the iPad to any USB port of my PC. My desktop PC is a new one, substantially "beefed up".
2. The iPad changes continuously from "Charging" to "Not charging" and vice versa all the time (the change of "charging states" happens roughly every 2 seconds).
3. While doing that, iTunes changes state from recognizing the iPad to "not identifying it properly". It suggests that I disconnect and reconnect it again. No matter how many times I do that, it never does any good.
4. Eventually I get an error (error code: 0xE8000084) but the change of "charging states" goes on and on.
5. During this time I was checking the Windows Device Manager. When the iPad was at the "charging" state the "Apple Mobile Device USB" appeared under the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" section of the Device Manager. When it was not charging, the "Apple Mobile Device USB" disappeared.
6. Even in the case the iPad was charging the "Portable Devices / Apple iPad" entry didn't appear in the Device Manager.
I have read all the posts about the particular error code and about the connectivity issues with iTunes. However, no matter what I have tried I haven't resolved my problem yet. I completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes according to Apple instructions. Rebooted my PC while removing all the other USB peripherals. I stopped and restarted the AMDS service. I hard rebooted the iPad. I switched USB cables. I even tried to sync my iPhone 5S in case it was an iPad problem. All has failed. Even the iPhone has the same behaviour.
NOW, about the 1% I was talking before.
If the iPad is completely charged to 100% (99% is not enough) the problem disappears. During the time that the battery is at 100% the iPad is not charging and at the same time all is fine with iTunes. The problem reappears when the battery goes to 99%.
I don't remember having this problem a few months back. Any ideas?

I have restored a backup into a new iPad but it did not downloaded all my photos. There is a message saying " downloading 515 of 1230" but it never finishes downloading. How can I get all my photod downloadeda.
Sorry this solution is late but I just got off of the phone with Apple support and this worked.
Open iTunes
Connect your iPhone and keep it connected during this entire process.
In the iTunes menu at the very top (File, Edit, View) choose STORE> Sign in and sign into your iTunes account.
Once this is complete look at the upper right corner of iTunes and you will see an iPhone and Store button, cick STORE. Now you will be in the iTunes store where you see the advertisements of the various albums, songs etc. Look on your upper left of the window for your itunes account name and in the black band next to your iTunes account name, you will see a House icon, then Music, Movies, TV Shows etc.
Make sure the HOUSE icon is selected.
Stay on this screen in iTunes and on the lower RIGHT, you will see an area that says- QUICK LINKS. In that area click - Purchased
After you do this you will be transported to another area of iTunes. Here there will be a menu across the top- Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, Books are the choices.
Choose APPS and you will see the apps that you have purchased. You will also see the apps that didn't download to your phone.
Find the apps that didn't download and click the cloud next to their name. Doing this will download the chosen apps to the computer you are on.
Once you have downloaded the apps in question, in the upper right corner click LIBRARY.
Now you should see the button that says iPhone because your phone is still plugged in. Click the iPhone button and then click SYNC on the lower right to sync your iPhone.
The apps you downloaded will now be on your phone.
Sorry for the long instructions but this is what works. -

I am trying to update to iTunes 10 to us my new iPad, but I can not remove a corrupted? "apple software update" program... I can get everything else off, but due to "previous version" of software update it will not continue.
I stopped in to see one of the genius at the local store who referred me to "Windows Installer 4.5 Redistributable" (I am trying to install it on a Windows XP System)
The last version on iTunes on my PC was iTunes 7.
Thanks for your help,
Julia from WoodridgeUnfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.) -

I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. I am able to connect to other networks but not my own. It is not an issue with the service/router because other devices connect fine. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport. Last time it happended I called apple and the suggested I wipe my HD and reinstall everything. I did and it did not work. One day I turned my laptop on and it connected no problem. Now it has kicked me off again. I tried resetting my IP address but that does not work either! Has anyone had this problem?
Try this:
Apple menu / System Preferences / Network.
Click Location: and select Edit Locations..
Click + (plus sign), and enter a name for the new location - anything will do.
Apply this. -
I have a new Mac air and need to install office from a disc. How do I do it
I have a new MacAir that does not have an optical drive. I have office 10 with an unused licence on a disc. How can I install it on my MacAir?
Several options.
If you have a USB optical drive, you can connected it to your MBA and use it. You don't need to buy Apple's optical drive, any USB drive will work.
If you have another Mac or PC you can use its optical drive. See this Apple knowledgebase article for details
You can visit Microsoft's Web site and download the software then apply your license. -

I have my contacts button turned on in the Mac and the IPad, but the cloud is not updating my contacts list. It does update my caldendar so I know that part is working. How do I get the contacts to update on the ICloud?
Perhaps by verifying that you are using "icloud group" of your contacts on pad and mac.
Open contacts and see if icloud is your default. -
Some months ago I changed my email address and so my appleID. Everything worked fine, but last week my ipad broke and when I tried to restore my icloud backup in my new ipad it does not work: it asks me for the password of the OLD appleID (it doesnt work); and in icloud configuration page the field for appleid is colored grey so I can not change it.
any clues? thank you in advanceMy suggestion is to change apple id back. I know it is not something you want to hear, but there are suppose to be ways around it and usually they work, but not right now. I suspect that is consequences of Apple getting their servers ready for ios7. Normally in your situation - you should be able to get all your stuff back, but apps, and then you can sync those or download from icloud. But lately (last week) it does not seem to work normal way.

New iPad - Wi Fi does not work
My new iPad was delivered today.
I connected it to my home wireless network. The connection seemed to work without a hitch. It says I am connected. It says that the signal strength is very strong.
Nothing works.
No internet, no mail.
I updated the software. That didn't help.
I read something about turning off auto brightness. That seems awful strange, but it didn't help anyway.
It keeps asking me to set up a Cellular Data Account. I should not need such an account at home on my Wi-Fi, or so I would assume.
It is a very frustrating first day with this thing. I was excited to see it when I got home, and I have had nothing but frustration with a device that serves only as a paperweight.
Message was edited by: Alonzo FyfeI assume that the iPad you have got is the 3G & wifi version.
Has I only have the wifi version I can't be 100 percent, but maybe part of the setup process for the 3G version is that you have to set up a cellular account. Have you tried setting up a cellular account and then seeing if you can connect via wifi? As I expect you would be doing this anyway with getting the 3G version iPad.
If you don't want to setup a cellular account at this time, there should be an option to turn off the cellular data on the iPad.
On looking on my iPhone 4, the option on this is in:
Settings/general/network, I now see an option to turn cellular data on or off, I expect that you should see something similar on your iPad. Try switching it off and then see if you can connect via wifi.
If not then go into settings, when you see the name of the wifi network that you are connected to, touch the the little blue arrow that is pointing to the right, next choose FORGET NETWORK. Now try and connect again to your wifi network, entering any network key that is required.
Hope this helps -
I forgot my passcode on my new Iphone 6 and haven't backup it yet. Please help.
I got my Iphone 6 last week and went on vacation to take some pictures. However, in the middle of my vacation the IPhone restarted by itself and asking for a passcode. My passcode is not working anymore and pushing my Iphone to be disabled by trying to guess what it is. I tried to restore the Iphone by using my computer but I was not able to back it up because it's asking for a passcode also I tried to sync it and its does the same thing and asking for a passcode. I don't want to completely restore it without saving my pictures. Is it possible to reset my passcode by going to any apple service center? We do have all the necessary documents to prove the I am the owner of it. I just don't want to take the risk to restore it without backing it up. Please help.
The purpose of the passcode is to protect the data in the iPhone (including photos) from people who do not know the passcode. The only way to eliminate the passcode is to restore the phone as new which eliminates the data from the iPhone. You can do that yourself or take it to an Apple Store and they will restore it for you. If you had made a backup you could then restore the data back to the iPhone (including the photos) but if you did not make a backup, then you will be unable to access the data.
You have not said whether or not you had the Photo stream feature enabled in your iCloud settings. If you did, your photos will be streamed back to your iPhone when you enable the feature after restoring the iPhone. Or perhaps you had enabled iCloud backups to made automatically every time you are on Wifi and plugged in. If yes, you can restore from the latest iCloud backup. If not, you are out of luck.
For the future, it is a good idea to enable iCloud automatic backups. You don't have to remember to make them and they will be there for you should you forget your passcode again.
