  • TS3212 set up tells me my drive is unavailable but won't let me switch to another drive, I'm using windows vista

    I used my iPod shuffle with Windows XP successfully, I recently switched to Vista and now can't download podcasts or access my shuffle on the computer. I tried to re-install the iTunes program but get an error message : drive not available, but it won't let me switch drives

    error message I received: "itunesminiplayer.resources is not a valid short file name"
    That's perfect, thanks.
    Let's try the following user tip with that one:

  • Have done the iOS 5 update and lost some of my apps now can't get them back and won't let me register my wife's card on my account

    Have done the iOS 5 update and lost half of my apps won't let me get them back and won't let me register my wife's card on my account as I don't use credit or debit cards
    <Edited by Host>

    Relax, nobody's ripping you off...
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID you purchased them on and not the device so getting them all back is easy so long as you know the account details. To reinstall the apps just use the App Store and use the original Apple ID (account) that was used to purchase them, then re-install.  If you setup a new Apple ID on your device when you initialized iOS 5 then go into the App Store app and change the account back to the one that was there before. Then go to update > Not on this iPhone and start installing...

  • 27" won't let me switch sound to headphone

    Hi,
    I just bought a 27 inch Cinema Display and I'm having an issue where OS X won't let me switch from the display's USB sound to my headphone jack (where I have external speakers connected).
    When I go to the Sound preferences item and change the device in the Output tab, it switches back almost instantly to "Display Audio".
    I looked at the Console and I'm getting this error every time I try to change the output device:
    System Preferences[476] Error who? trying to set dOut device to 268
    Any ideas on what's happening and how I can fix this?

    Hi,
    I'm having the same issue with a Lexicon I-ONIX. The sound preferences doesn't let me select this device. I also looked at the console and receive the message: Error who? trying to set dOut device to 266.
    Any idea would be very apreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

  • TS1398 My iPhone 4S won't let me turn the wifi on!

    Hi! My iPhone won't let me turn the wifi on, the option is greyed out in settings and the control centre doesn't work-it doesn't turn on either. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks xxx

    Hi Lullita.
    This is a common problem on iphone 4s using ios 7.
    I have had this problem myself.
    Try basic troubleshooting : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
    If that doesnt help, try this.
    Go to youtube and type this " 4s wifi grey" ... You will find a couple of videos describing a method which includes blowdrying your phone and puttin it into freezer. This method does fix your wifi, I know I have tried it myself, and it brought back my wifi and bluetooth, which were greyed out.
    But be very careful, this method can damage your device if youre not careful enough. Do this at your own risk.
    Hope I helped.
    Donnie.

  • New iOS7 update won't let me restrict iTunes radio/images for my kids. Help?

    The new iOS7 update won't let me restrict iTunes radio/images for my kids. I've never had this problem with Apple before. I've always had the ability to restrict the iTunes store, and anything else I needed to restrict. I'm not a religous nut, I just don't want my kids looking at some of that stuff. I'm really disappointed with this feature. If anybody has any help I would appreciate it! Switching music to clean only blocks music, not album covers and artist pictures. I've always loved the parent friendly features of Apple. I hope they fix this soon! My family loves Apple, and I don't want to have to switch!

    Hi. Yes I've looked all through restrictions and there is nothing that will block it. This is weird. Apple usually always thinks of this stuff. Usually they provide ways to both choose a parental level or block it from being used all together. I can't do either. On some of my devices I want to restrict what I'm seeing/hearing from iTunes radio but on some I want to block it all together. I've been all through restrictions and there is no option for either.

  • My iPhone and iPad are on my moms icloud account and i just got a macbook air and i want all my devices on my own iCloud account - i went to all of my settings and it won't let me change my iCloud account on my phone and iPad. can i change this?

    My iPhone and iPad are on my moms icloud account and i just got a macbook air and i want all my devices on my own iCloud account - i went to all of my settings and it won't let me change my iCloud account on my phone and iPad. can i change this?

    You will have to do more than simply changing settings in your moms account. To set up everything in your own account, go to Settings > iCloud > scroll down and press sign out. From this, check out this link for how to setup iCloud on all of your devices after making a new icloud account on your phone: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    Before you set that up, you will have to make a new iCould account which you can simply do after you sign out of your mom's account on your devices.
    Hope I can help!

  • TS1389 I tried all these steps and iTunes still won't let me play songs I paid for... Every time I authorize, it repeats that it's already authorized, but won't play because it's not authorized ... Catch 22

    Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

    Connect in recovery mode to restore, explained in this article: iOS: Unable to update or restore
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

  • Mail won't let me turn off Server Authentication for .Mac accounts

    Greetings. Mail won't let me alter my server settings for .Mac. I am attempting to turn off "server authentication" so that I can use my .Mac account via mail through a hotel network, but every time I change the setting and exit the preferences screen Mail automatically reverts back to the previous setting. Ideas?

    Set up a new account for that with account type either IMAP or POP (not .Mac) as you desire.
