I know where my iTunes backups are stored, but when I click on them, there is nothing in the folders.

I needed to restore my iPad without doing an update because my computer has a virus and fails to download iOS 8. My iPad is jailbroken so I can't do an OTA update either. My plan is to restore my iPad, so that the jailbreak can be removed, and do an OTA update. When I tried to restore without updating, I had to find the backups and when I click on them, it says "no items match your search,"

II resolved this issue

    Those Apps listed in the iTunes Apps library will only work with iOS devices. They are not designed to work on your Macbook Air system.

    Thank you for your reply.  I have been backing up my entire computer and when I follow anything having to do with Lightroom I am not finding actual photos.  I hope to find the photos that have been backed up along with updates to them that my wife has been performing during her edits.  Found Lightroom 2 catalog Previews/Lrdata.  Could that be it?

    Hello atef from egypt,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To help resolve this issue where your computer cannot connect to your AirPlay-enabled device, please follow the information outlined below.
    Wi-Fi Connection
    If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your AirPlay-enabled device.
    Ensure that other devices aren't trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
    Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
    Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
    If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
    Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
    Ethernet Connection
    Temporarily disable firewalls (both network and local) and security software. Security software and firewalls may block ports that AirPlay uses to stream content. You can often resolve issues with security software by updating, correctly configuring, or uninstalling security software.

    You have a "good WiFi connection". What does that mean exactly? Can you send and receive email and are other internet related activities working OK for you? Have you tried restarting or rebooting your iPad? Sometimes that helps. If nothing else, it's a good place to start.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    I wish I could help. There are numerous threads about missing music but last I looked, no solution. You might want to read through them anyway.

  • I was filling a form online, then I got to where I had to upload an Microsoft document but when I clicked on upload document I only had the option of uploading photos and videos, but not Microsoft doc. Please help.... How do I upload Microsoft doc related

    I was filling a form online, then I got to where I had to upload a Microsoft document but when I clicked on upload document I only had the option of uploading photos and videos, but not Microsoft doc. Please help.... How do I upload Microsoft doc  and other related office documents?

    tis true
    I know, I always do that but I was in a rush to get somewhere and I was relying on my thousand dollar Mac to do some kind of recovery or something. I know Microsoft always keeps temporary files (I think Mac does too, part of me asking here in this forum was for someone to tell me where I can find those files) and when you go to open Office Works then it gives you the option of opening the last recent documents, saved or not saved.
    I usually copy paste into my emial just in case something goes wrong with the created document but I just didn't have the time to login and do all that My loss, you live and you learn, BUT still if ANYONE got any info on this, PLEASE DO CHIME IN *keeping the hope alive*

  • I am informed by FF that there are updates. When I click on them the window just says it's trying to connect to the server and never does. I have a Mac Powerbook with 10.4.11 and FF 3.6.13

    # Question
    I am informed by FF that there are updates. When I click on them the window just says it's trying to connect to the server and never does. I am never able to update and I believe FF is now up to 3.6.17.
    I have a Mac Powerbook with 10.4.11 and FF 3.6.13.
    Joel E. Pittenger cell: 314-724-8820

    That is because that Firefox 3.6.x version has been released later than the Firefox 4 version.
    If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded

    I have itunes on my computer and haven't used it for a while and went to click on shortcut and got message that it has stopped working so tried to update, followed all promptsd and it said it had been installed but when i clicked on shortcut again came up with same message. I have tried to uninstall and re install still get same message. Don't know why or what to do? Also tried to set up my dads Ipod Nano on his computer and it wont accept the Australian area code? ????Help Please going insane

    Does iTunes not see the phone?
    If not, make sure you're running the current version of iTunes.
    If you are running the current version and it still doesn't recognize it, see this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    As for iPhoto, you will have to purchase a newer version. It's not a free upgrade. Or, you can use Image Capture, which is built into OS X, to import the photos.

  • Search "finds" emails but when I click on them to actually read them, it shows nothing. Also, the folder where these emails are located has disappeared.

    A folder that has several sub-folders (as do all my folders), has disappeared from my list of folders. Filters that would normally send new incoming emails to this folder now say, "choose folder" (they're not disabled), and of course I can't choose it anymore. When I do a search for emails that I know were in the folder, it finds them (or at least some of them, for sure; haven't checked on the hundreds) and lets me see the tops of contents, like in any normal search. So I know the emails do exist. But when I click on one to actually read it, Tbird goes through the motions of bringing the whole email up, but there's actually nothing there. The column heading are there for Data, From, Subject, Location, etc., but the there's nothing under the headings. So, I don't know what happened to the folder, and its (former) contents are out there in my computer's nether world.
    Also, don't know if this is relevant; a day ago I did a backup and restore of my profile using MozBackup because I had to have a faulty hard disc replaced on my laptop. My Profile for Thunderbird was approx. 1.6 GBytes. I get 80 or so e-mails a day. The restore went fine as far as I can tell; In fact, I think I even recall noticing that the now-missing folder was there at first, but this is the first time I've tried to use it.
    [email protected]

    I'm not 100% sure, but I think Thunderbird has an indexing process that runs in the background - and if you were on some odd configuration, let's say you're connecting to a mail system that also used an archiving system (for instance Outlook with Symantec Enterprise Mail Vault).
    It's possible for Thunderbird to index the email (hence you can search for it) but by the time you run the search (a week, a month, or what ever later) the Symantec Enterprise Mail vault has already archived the email.
    Basically you it can search, and build an index, but anything could happen to the email between being indexed and you searching for it.
    Hope that helps?

  • Please help me! iPhone original is read by itunes under devices but when i click on it there is just a blank screen? Please help me!

    A few days ago i purchased an original iPhone from my friend that was broken. It would not load past the white apple logo when i turned it on. I put the iPhone in recovery mode and restored it to iOS 3.1.3 and assumed it would work after that. I however, was wrong! The iPhone is currently stuck on the slide for emergency and connect to itunes screen. When i plugged it into the computer and went to itunes, the phone was listed under devices. But when i clicked on it, it just came up with a blank white screen that said iphone in big gray letters. I live in Italy because my father is in the military so therefore i cannot take it to an apple store to ask someone smarter than me for one on one help with this problem. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated i just want to have this phone working again! lol

    Ok!!! I found the way how to do it and everything is fine now. If someone has got the same problem as me you just need to restart your iPad. You hold the Sleep/wake button till the red line comes out then you scrol your finger on it and then after a minute you hold the same button again till the apple sing come out.

  • Update notification shows there are updates but when I click on the update option it shows a blank screen

    The update option on the app store shows a notification that I have 'n' numbers of updates but when I click on the update option it only shows a blank screen. Even after updating the apps individually from the purchased option, the update option still shows a blank screen instead of "All you applications are up to date". Please help.

    Many people are having this problem for the last couple of days. According to Fly150in another discussion, this will work.
    If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
    1. Go to App Store
    2. Select Purchased
    3. Select All
    4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
    5. Select update on the Apps
    This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store.

  • Aperture says I have over 12,000 images that are referenced, but when I search all photos, I see nothing. Where are my images?

    This is the second time I've been worried that Aperture is simply losing my images.
    I am setting up a second drive to backup monthly and keep at a different location.  When I prompt Aperture to set up a new vault, it tells me that over 12K of images are referenced and won't be backed up.
    The first problem here is that I shouldn't have any referenced images. I used to reference, but that got all kinds of messed up (even though I was only using a single HD to do it). After searching manually to find all of my images that were where they should be but Aperture couldn't find them, I shifted everything to managed. This was frustrating since the photos existed, but Aperture just "forgot" about them, but I am in so deep with Aperture it'll be nightmare to shift to LightRoom (and I don't even really know if that's a solution to the problem)
    The second problem is that okay, if I have referenced images, then Aperture should be able to find them, right? Wrong. A search of all my photos for photos as "referenced", "missing", "offline" yields nothing.
    So it leads me to wonder: do i really have referenced images? Has my library been screwed up again somehow?
    Even after rebuildling, I still can't find these so-called referenced images.  If anyone has any ideas I'd be grateful. I don't want to switch software — will Lightroom really be any better anyway — and I love Aperture's workflow and UI. Not to mention how it ties to iCloud, etc.

    Ian, rebuilding your library might solve the problem, but before you rebuild, make sure you have a backup of your library - a clone with super duper or carbon copy cloner would be better than a Time Machine Backup.
    If rebuilding does not help, try to recreate by creating a new library and importing the old one into the new one.
    As to the missing referenced images, how do the numbers add up that the Vault panel shows:
    xxx managed will be included
    yyy referenced images will not be backed up
    Do the sums xxx+yyy add up the total of your images when you select the "Photos" view? Then it would be only a question of the vault assuming the wrong file status, not a question of missing images. Do you miss any images that should be there, when you browse your projects?
    Regards
