Take a look at this Apple article -> iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Is the Apple Mobile Device Service installed and running on your computer?

I just got an iMac and when I started to set it up it required the keyboard to type, but the keyboard won't connect. I can't use my iMac without it please answer

Since it's a new machine, contact Apple's Support and let them deal with it. You have 90 days free phone support, unless you opted for the AppleCare Protection Plan, which I strongly recommend for desktop machines.

Just got an imac and am trying to transfer itunes library from Dell pc via home share method. All goes well but directions say to click the import button. I don't see an import button anywhere. If I close itunes on pc it also disappears from imac.

Just got an imac and am trying to transfer itunes library from dell pc using home share method. All goes well until the end when directions say to click import button. I don't see one anywhere. If I shut down itunes in the pc the library also disappears from the imac. Am I doing something wrong?

check the lower right corner of the iTunes window
if you don't see this while the homeshared library is loaded, home sharing hasn't been set up properly.

no.
that's expected behavior.

I just got an imac and i can't access my itunes. my old computer was a f***ing dell, ugh. can i do this or do I have to create a new apple account?

just got an imac and I cant access my itunes. old computer was a dell, do I have to create a new apple account?

Apple does not want you to have two iTunes accounts so perhaps it would be better to cancel the account you used with your Dell and launch a new account for your nice new iMac. If you cannotmake contact with the original details go to ...
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express lane followed by iTunes > iTunes store.
From there you could negotiate the cancellation process.

Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events

Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events or even when i select specific events or albums.

What is the file name of the video(s) you want to sync?
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

I backed up my old core 2 duo imac and and was trying to transfer files to my new 2011 imac and when i go to oppen a folder from what i transferred it says "The folder "Music" can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents."?

I backed up my old core 2 duo imac and and was trying to transfer files to my new 2011 imac and when i go to oppen a folder from what i transferred it says "The folder “Music” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents". Why cant i access the files from my old mac? I tried the time machine and that isnt working either. I have files that I need to use on my new mac, all my old programs and such. I thought they said it was easy to get your files from one mac to another. Please help.

Your account names are probably different on the two Macs. If you know the UNIX command line, open a terminal window and run:
$ id
You should see a line that starts with something like this:
uid=501(your_user_id_here)
now check the owner of the folder you copied over:
$ ls -ld Music
drwx------+ 8 some_user_id_here staff 272 May 14 16:08 Music
Do the IDs match? If not, you could change the ownership. Say your id is "johnsmith"
$ chown -R johnsmith Music
Now try and access it with iTunes.

HT1391 I have a new computer and cannot access my previously purchased music from here. The error message says I need to authorize this computer

I have a new computer and cannot access my previously purchased music from here. The error message says I need to authorize this computer??

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

I have just bought an iMac and when it has sync'd my calendar from my iphone all the appointments are showing on the Mac a day earlier than they appear on my iphone. Help?

Hi can anyone help? I have had an iphone for years now and use my calendar to run my life! I have just invested in an iMac but when it has sync'd my calendar from my phone all my events are appearing one day earlier. I have checked the time zone and set it to Apple Europe. Can anyone help e get this sorted? Much appreciate any help.

Helo No Joy,
It sounds like your events synced to your computer from the phone and they are all an hour out of sync. I recommend verifying that time zone support is turned on with your iCloud calendar if you are using iCloud:
Use a time zone other than the default
In iCloud Calendar, choose Preferences from the Action pop-up menu below the sidebar.
Click Advanced, select “Enable time zone support,” then click Save.
With time zone support on, a “time zone” pop-up menu appears when you create an event, letting you set any time zone you want.
You can also reset the default time zone for your calendars (and their events) at any time.
From: iCloud: Change your calendar’s time zone
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2677
If not, I would verify that your iPhone date and time are set correctly with the correct time zone support information:
iOS: How to adjust Time Zone Support for calendars
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4576
To enable Time Zone Support for calendars
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Scroll down to Calendars.
Tap Time Zone Support.
Slide the slider for Time Zone Support to ON.
Tap Time Zone.
Enter your current location or the closest city in the same time zone and tap it when it appears in the results list.
And I would next verify that this information is correct on your computer as well:
Choose Calendar > Preferences, click Advanced, then select “Turn on time zone support.”
From: Calendar (Mavericks): View events in a different time zone
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14986
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling
