So I tryed to download it on the apple website but it keeps saying that there is an error. I have already tryed uninstalling all Apple Inc. programs on my laptop then trying to install iTunes again but that has had no success what so ever. I have started to get very frusterated with this . Hopefully someone can help. I would really appreciate it. Any suggestion?

    For anyone following, I looked further into the tape cassette adapter and it seems to get the best reviews vs. FM transmitter.  Guess there is a good reason that I have the last year model with a tape cassette.  Worth mentioning is the Maxell one gets a better review than the Monter one.  Not sure why, but it's cheaper. Anyone else find a good quality tape cassette adapter?

  • TS1277 My computer has had new windows installed and now when I plug in my phone is does not recognize the device

    My Computer has just had a new windows package installed and now my "Device is not recognized" when I plug it in?

    Microsoft Office is a program you would need to reinstall again.
    As for data backup if you baid 200.00 for a cruddy job for just picture backups and a reinstallation of Windows, thats pretty bad.
    I would ask the technician where your data is. basically you want to ask if he backed up your User directory

    Hi, Shadiamond Murray.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router can correct the issue that you are experiencing.  However, the issue could be a little more complex.  Wi-Fi routers need adjustments to settings periodically for optimized performance with the constant progression of wireless device technology.  Below, I have included two articles.  The first article will cover basic Wi-Fi troubleshooting regarding iOS device connection.  The second article cover the recommended settings for current Wi-Fi access points.

  • Set up iPad on one computer and now want to sync to another computer

    We gave my Dad an iPad for Christmas (16 GB, WiFi), mainly as a photo album to amuse my ailing mother.
    I live in Ontario and he lives in BC. I bought the iPad and set it up using my iMac. Put about 600 family photos on it and sent it off to him in BC. I knew that this might cause a challenge when he attached it to his iMac, but I figured let's try it anyway.
    He has connected it to his iMac and wants to add photos from iPhoto. Is there any way to preserve the photos that I put on, or are they going to get wiped as soon as he adds another album? I can always transfer the files to him via CD or FTP, and he can put them into his iPhoto and thus to the iPad from there. But is there an easier way?
    Hope this makes sense. In short, if he wants to sync more photos from his iMac, do we lose all the photos that I put on there from my computer?
    Thanks!

    Not entirely sure about iPhoto as I don't have a mac, but when syncing from folder(s) only the contents of the most recent sync will be on the iPad - but I assume that iPhoto will be the same and will therefore remove the previous sync before putting the ones on. He also won't be able to copy them off before syncing as you can only do that with photos loaded via the camera connection kit or saved from emails/websties.
    This article has some general info on syncing photos http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

  • I just got my first MacBook pro and dedicated an external hard drive for time capsule. I also have a WD 3TB hard drive with all my old files, photos and movies (mostly from a pc). My Mac book pro would not allow me to add or delete any files from this har

    This hard drive so I copies all the files (400gb worth) to my time capsule hard drive (WD 3 TB but set up by the Mac book pro). Now I am not sure what I need to do. I wiped the other WD hard drive cleAn on my pc and want to set it up in a way that I can access the files on both a pc and a Mac. If I partition it on my MacBook pro will this work? If I do it do I need to save the file twice on both the pc and Mac partitions or simply by partitioning it the hard drive will ave files in both formats regardless of if it's from a pc or a Mac. X
    Thanks

    As you connect your ipod to iTunes, an option in the upper right of the screen will appear. When you click this, it will show the different menu for your ipod.

  • HT201303 hi just got my new apple ipod touch i need to update my security information other wise it wont let me download apps it says to enter three questions about myself and i get to the third question and it wont let me enter the third question

    hi just got my new apple ipod touch and to download apps it wants to add questions about myself for more sercurity information. i get up to question 3 and it wont let me select a question but it will let me write an answer so i just pressed done and then it says i cant carry on because ive mised out information when it wont let me do a question!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
    I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
    If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

    I just got my new i phone 5 s and did all the syncing and backing up for my old iphone 4s and set my 5 up and synced it on itunes.  It synced evrything but the contacts and other minor things. those were the only things that really transfered.  My apps and all my music did not. Tthe thing is when i just went to go manually start dowmloading a few of the songs that i knew i already bought , itunes is making me pay forthem again.  Its not saying instal like it usuall does when you go download something aleady purchased on your itunes account.  I think or thought it might have something to do with the fact that i just changed my apple id name right before i got my new phine but my apps all re-downloaded (manually-no syncing) without making me pay for them again.  i dont want to have to purchase allllll my songs again.  Can someone please help me!!  Itried going back to my old id or signing out of this id and signing in as my old apple id but now it wot even get on that oneits likjeit doesnt exist anymore..   And when i plug my old phone it shows in the itunes everything thats supposed to be there but all that doesnt stay in the itunes when i actually un plug it so when i plug my 5 in to my computer none of the stuff is in the store for me to actually transfer it  I am so good with technology and this has me stumped  please help

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.
