I'm trying to reactivate my iPhone 3GS after updating it to iOS 6. It keeps on saying "Please try again" when I tried to re-activate it. I connected my device to iTunes and it still doesn't work.

How do I fix this problem?

There are several common causes for this problem:
Your security software (Antivirus, firewall, router settings) is blocking access to gs.apple.com, Apple's activation servers. Try temporarily disabling your security applications on your computer.
You have a redirect in your hosts file that defines a different IP address for gs.apple.com. you must delete all references to gs.apple.com from your hosts file (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, or /etc/hosts on a Mac)
Your phone is jailbroken or otherwise hacked.

When I connect my iPod touch it tells me that I need a new version of Apple Mobile Device Support and to uninstall iTunes and then re-install it, I've done that twice with the newest version of iTunes and it still doesn't work?

Same problem here, and it's not isolated.

I believe you will find you can again sync Photos if you delete the "iPod Photo Cache", but predict that any subsequent attempt will fail. In my case, the enxt sync removes all the photos again - I've seen other reports of error messages upon sync. Mine just fails silently. :-)

I am not able activate my iphone 3gs after updating

How do i activate my Iphone 3gs after update

The activation servers were down for a bit yesterday.
Try again.
A SIM is required for activation. If problems continue, the two most common activation issues are the result of a hacked or jailbroken device.

HT1766 I cannot backup my iphone, it keeps telling me the backup is corrupt and not compatible. All forums have suggested I delete the last backup but that was months ago and I'm afraid if I do that and it still doesn't work, I won't have anything saved

Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Before that, back up your device, explained here:

If the issue remains it would be best for you to back up your phone then book an appointment at an Apple Retail Store to be evaluated.
Hope this helps

When i open iTunes U it comes up with just the brown bookshelf but no icons to click on and then it closes. I've deleted it and then re-download it and it still doesn't work.

On the bookshelf there's no icons to click on and after a mintue it closes. I've deleted it and then re-download it and it still doesn't work. Im using a ipod touch 4 and im on 5.1.

I, too, am having this problem and it's annoying. The app just shuts down every time I use it. Too bad cuz it looks lie there are so many wonderful courses in the catalog.
Any tips on how to fix this would be appreciated!
Thanks.

On any page that I have to log in Firefox stops responding and has to shut down. I've tried resetting it and it still doesn't work.

I've been having this problem for a while now and I can't seem to fix it. Any time I log into any page, Firefox says not responding and I have to restart it. I have to run all of firefox in safe mode if I log out of my email or facebook. I've tried resetting FF and it still doesn't work.

''' "I have to run all of firefox in safe mode if I log out of my email or facebook. " '''
Please explain what you mean by '''all of firefox'''. You're either running in the Firefox SafeMode or you're not. There's no "all" or partial SafeMode.
Please see this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode

I am trying to sign in to attend a session and it says 'Invalid user or password. Please try again.' I have reset my password and it still doesn't work. I created a new AdobeID and it still doesn't work. I need to attend this training. How can I get in?

Sorry to hear about this problem. What site are you trying to log in on? Is it a Mozilla site? Usually you don't need to register or sign in to a Mozilla site to use Firefox. Usually you can just go straight to where you want to go.

When my iTunes ask if I want to download iTunes 10.6.3, I click "Download iTunes" and it still doesn't dowload. What do I do?

When my iTunes offers to download the 10.6.3 software, I click "Download iTunes" and it still doesn't download. What do I do?

Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Does that go through any better for you?

The message function on my Ipad just quit working. I was using it while in Mexico and it just quit. I have come home and synced my Ipad with Itunes and function still does not work. How do I get this function to work again?

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.
