I updated my 3GS. It goes through the updating process then at the end a box pops up that says my phone is in recovery mode and cant finish. My phone has lost everything and doesn't even have the home screen just the iTunes symbol. What can I do?????

I updated my 3GS to the latest OS. iTunes was updated first, when iTunes finishes updating my phone a box pops up that says my phone is in recovery mode so I click the update button and it goes the whole update cycle again. I unplugged my phone after 4 cycles of updating but now there is NOTHING on my phone, not even the home screen just the itunes symbol . I've tried rebooting my phone but there is still nothing there. HELP!!!!! What can I do

sounds like your phone was jailbroken.

HT1351 Whenever I try and eject my iPod from iTunes after it is done syncing a box pops us that says "The iPods' 'Owners iPod' cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application".

Whenever I try and eject my iPod from iTunes after it is done syncing a box pops us that says "The iPods' 'Owners iPod' cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application".iTunes is the only thing open on my computer so I don't understand what this could mean. If anybody could help me out that would be great. Thanks

Hello, cgtyoder.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try resetting the iPod and power cycling your Mac to see if this message disappears. If the issue persists you may need to restore the device to factory settings. The article below will walk you through both these steps.

With that particular variety of 1606 (it's a 1606 error message even though the 1606 error message number isn't returned by the iTunes installer), the following Microsoft document is worth a try:

There are no icons of the apps i downloaded. I mean, I used them for a while, then my iPod died, I charged it a little, then turned it on, and saw blanks instead of apps. They work pretty fine, but there are no icons, just white rectangles. What can I do?

- First try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- If still problem restore the iPOd via iTunes on your computer. First from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Surfing the web I constantly get a dialog box popping up that says "The connection was rest" or " Server not found" or "The connection has timed out"

Surfing the web I constantly get a dialog box popping up that says "The connection was rest" or " Server not found" or "The connection has timed out". The panel gives me three possible causes, none of which are correct and tells me to "Try again". Sometimes when I try again the site appears, sometimes it does after several tries and sometimes it never does. I called my IP, Cox and they told me it is a result of something Microsoft put out in their updates to IE (presumably to discourage people from using Firefox). Can you help me get rid of this problem?

My daughter's so called friends have accidently disabled her ipad-not itunes connected-what can we do to save everything?

What can we do to save my daughter's precious stuff? Her friends have accidently disabled it. She has never connected to iTunes before? HELP Please

If she had previously registered her Apple ID and created an ICloud account in 'Settings'; then enabled the setting allowing for automatic iCloud back-ups to occur every time her Pad is connected to wi-fi, locked & charging...that's a good start. Even if she did nothing else but insure those regular back-ups occurred without incident,,then she should have all her Camera Roll pics, device settings, saved documents and accounts available in her Cloud. her iCloud account.
Thre's also a more detailed way of detailing the info that should be included in the back-ups. it involves reviewing all the apps & manually giving permission for certain information to be included or left out of the back-ups. If she also did this, then you should be able to restore all info according to,when the last save & back up.
Now, you can just turn on the iPad & it will give you choices for set up, just like it did when it was new. If the iCloud account was set up & used regularly, she can choose the option called something like 'Restore iPad Settings & Info through Wi-Fi, using iCloud information'......something like that. The other two options are sometging like 'Set Up As New', which can be done without connecting to iTunes, the iPad will just not have anything on it as it did before. It will be a clean & new device . The last option is to restore the old settings through iTunes, which you must connect to,a computer to do. If you choosebrestore from wi-fi/!iCloud, it will walk you through the process on-screen.
Hopefully that made sense & can help you! Good luck!

I recently set up multiple accounts and when I was trying to figure out how to share files I messed up something in my documents. Everytime I open a doc from the ADMIN account, a box pops up that says "The file is not in the correct format" how to fix?

I recently set up multiple accounts on my imac, When I was trying to figure out how to share the documents I must have done something wrong. When logged into the Admin account, I open up any document and I get a message box that says, "The Document could not be opened. The file isn't in the correct format. The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format." What did I do and how do I fix it?

Without knowing what you did it is impossible to give advice on how to correct it.
If these were files you copied over from some other system then just Re-Copy them replacing the ones that are corrupted.
Other then that I suggest you Wipe the drive and start over with a clean reinstall of the OS and programs. Then if you want to share files to All Accounts place those files in a folder in the ROOT of the drive.

I have no home screen just white light blinking. What to do?

I plugged my droid razr Maxx to my computer like I always do for charging. Now droid home screen or light won't turn on. I have a white blinking notification light but that is all.
Please help.

sugiedfried949,
A non-responsive device is a scary place to be. Let's see if we can get that to respond to you again. Disconnect the phone from the USB port. Press and hold the Volume down button (located on the right edge). While continuing to hold Volume down, press and hold the Power button until the device powers off and the notification stops(approximately fifteen seconds) then release all buttons. If the device does not power back on automatically within a minute press the power button for 3 to 5 seconds as you normally would to power back on. Let us know whether or not you get the device back in business.

My I pod Touch keeps telling me to connect to I tunes. When I do I get a box pop up that says I need to enter my pass code. But the I pod Touch doesnt give me that option. So right now I' stuck with the I pod Touch that I can't use because it won't let me

Mi I Pod shows me that I need to plug it in to I Tunes. When I do I get a pop up stating that I need to enter my passcode in order to do so. Unfornuately my I pod Touch won't give the option to do so. Any suggestions anyone?

You will need to restore the device. You will also need to put the device in Recovery Mode.

No matter what fixes I've tried, everytime I close Firefox and then reopen it, it has lost everything I changed or added! It reverts back to the default "welcome to Firefox"! Every fricken time!

I downloaded the 3.6.12 version. I have Windows 7, could that be the problem? I used Firefox exclusively when I had Windows XP and never had this problem!

Does this help [[Preferences are not saved]]

I am attempting to open Firefox and I have a dialog box pop up that says: "A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time." How do I close this "copy"?

I had shut down my computer, and when I started it up this is the message I received when attempting to open Firefox.

Cor-el, this is the same problem you responded to, and I said the uninstall is not possible for the same reason. I will check the Profil_in_use article, but I think I already have done all it suggests, and without success. If you solve this we change your name from Cor-el to Jor-el (Superman's father, of course)

When I try to download the update a box pops up that says "only a single instance of this application can run at a time"

Hello,
What error, if any, is being displayed when you attempt to install Flash Player?
Please post the contents of the /Users/<YourUserID>/Library/Logs/FlashPlayerInstallManager.log for the install attempts that are failing. These will be listed at the end of the file. Each attempt begins and ends with --- log start --- and --- log end ---.
Thank you in advance.

I'm downloading the adobe master collection 6 free trial and it has finished downloading but it is stuck in the "extracting" process.... there is an error displaying that says: "The following disc images couldn't be opened: MasterCollection_CS6 Error 4960

any help would be much appreciated!

Sounds as if the disk image file is corrupt. If I were you, I'd try downloading it again.
