Anyone had issues with iTunes 11.0.4 like me? Keep getting initial (post upgrade) tutorial screen when going into iTune and loss of sync with 1st Gen Apple TV (infuriating as have to re-connect and re-sync everything!!!)

Following upgrade to iTunes 11.0.4 I have had intermittent but numerous (at least 10 incidents) where I go into iTunes and I am presented again with the initial (post upgrade) registration/tutorial screen....as if I have just upgraded iTunes!
This is very frustrating as apart from having to keep re-setting my preferences (e.g. display side bar and menu bar), iTunes no longer recognises my Apple TV (1st generation) as a device. If I check on my Apple TV under 'Computers' my iTunes library is displayed but 'grayed out' indicating the Apple TV can no longer 'see' my iTunes Library. To resolve, I then have to disconnect the Apple TV from my iTunes Library then reconnect again (which works) but ou've guesses it...al the music and movies I have synced across to Apple TV needs to be synced across again....which takes time as we know.
I have re-installed (and re-downloaded) iTunes twice and ruled out any connectivity issues. I suspect some form of bug with iTunes.
Anyone else experienced this and any tips to fix this?

Yes stupid itunes 11.0.4 does not sync to my Apple TV. I tried resetting it and no luck.

Games are not turning on . I click on a he icon but screen slightly fades away and comes back to same spot.

Continuation, when screen fades away it feels as if it wants to start a game but then it just goes back to the original screen . I thought that was a wifi issue but now I am connected to wifi and it still does the same thing.

Is it every game or just some of them? It's entirely possible that hte game isn't compliant with iOS5. And if that's the case it's up to the developer to update their software for the new OS.

HT1688 My new iphone 5c has started blacking out then the apple appears and then it comes back on. What is causing this?

Is anyone else having the same problem... My iphone 5c will be working fine, then fade away and the apple will appear. It takes a minute and then the phone is back up and working? What is causing this to happen?

Phone is under warranty. Take it back to the store for exchange.

When browsing and scrolling the webpage goes blank but comes back after a few seconds. OS is XP.

Very annoying feature which has only happened recently. It also happens in IE 8.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I am trying to download the update to Photo Effects (Lite) v 3.0.0, for several weeks now without success. I press the update button and it goes away, then comes back again without any change. Can someone help please?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select
/var/log ▹ appstore.log
from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, click the Clear Display button in the toolbar of the Console window and then try the installation again.
Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.

Red Snow on black areas of the LCD screen

Hello,
last week my MacBook Pro 13" fell on the floor and got a hit on the side of the LCD screen.
Now the LCD screen is showing a sort of red snow (like the snow on an untuned tv) on the black parts of the screen. As far as I can understand it's either an issue of the LCD, the motherboard or the cables between the motherboard and the LCD.
What do you think it could be? I am going to order the parts in order to do the repair myself but I want to be reasonably confident of what I need to replace.
Cheers
/Luca

The disassembly procedure is different according to the MacBook model you have. There are many guides around that you can consult in order to open the machine. You can search with "MacBook disassembly" and you will find many pages. I found mine on ifixit.com.
On a unibody MacBook pro you have only to remove the screws on the bottom (remembering the positions as few of them are different), and lift the bottom cover.
You will find a miniature flat cable on one of the corners of the motherboard. Just gently push it in the connector to make sure it is well attached. Important! make sure you have a static wrist strap connected to ground, or in alternative touch a ground connection before in order to get rid of any static you might have on your body.
Hope this helps

How can i get rid of a black speck behind the screen?

Brand new, quad 2.8 GHZ Intel iMac. Beautiful. But has a black speck in the screen. How on earth would i get rid of this? I'm quite positive it's not on the screen. i've wiped it very firmly w/ the cloth provided. the thing is simply on the other side. Ideas?

Hi Peter,
If you can take it back to the Apple store (assuming you bought it from one). I had similar with a 24" iMac last year and they just replaced it there and then no questions, no arguing. They even transferred all my Data to the new machine. It was hassle free and I walked out of the store with a brand new replacement iMac set up like my original machine.
Don't try doing anything to it yourself if it is brand new, it will void your warranty.

I have an iPhone 3G. I removed the simm card and placed it in another phone. Now I want to use it to just play music. I keep seeing a message on the screen that says the simm card is missing. Are there settings I can use to prevent this message?
