If your battery is dead will the computer not power on?
I have a MacBook Pro and I know my battery has been slowly dieing for a few months now. I recently had a new hard drive installed and the tech said it's done. This is the second one I've replaced. But my question is, why won't the laptop work without my battery charging properly? I just ordered a new battery but I'm now wondering if it's a bigger problem. Any advice?
If the problem is only a dead battery, your computer will work, it might slow down a little to prevent your MagSafe from being overloaded, but even if your battery has juice left enough to hold a few minutes it will run as new. Also, as you're ordered a new battery, everything seems just fine.
Just a reminder, calibrate your battery for best performance, at least once or twice a month.

What does that mean when your iPod only charges when you battery dies? (meaning: when my battery isn't dead it wont charge but when the battery is dead thats the only time it will charge)
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

hard drive on my mac died, installed new hard drive. When I try to sync my phone for the first time, will the computer wipe all the songs, photos, ibooks from my phone?
Yes because that information is not located on the hard-drive of your new mac! If it is purchased content from the store, than this issue isn't as bad as it looks!
Here is a link explaining how to get your previously purchased content back:

You also want to authorize your Apple ID account on the computer by following these instructions as well:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1730
Basically this link explains to go to the top left corner of your screen where you will see file, edit, view etc! Click on Store in that section and click on authorize this computer, also you want to make sure that the computer will not automatically sync by going to iTunes in the top left corner, just to the right of the apple symbol if iTunes is selected, and go to prefrences, and here you will see back up! Right under the back-ups has an option explaining to prevent devices from automatically syncing which is good cause you may be able to transfer your purchases from there which will put your content into the computer, and if that happens than we don't lose anything
Hopefully I was of some help:) -
Under the settings app there's the general column and under the accessibility section the is a setting called black over white does that drain your battery any more than the normal setting
Wow. I have not seen that question nor a discussion. I agree with James. I don't think it will, and if the power drain is different, maybe it'll be less and not more.
With a 10 hour battery, you have plenty of time to test it and see. If the battery depletes fast, just go back to the other way.
If you do try it, let us know what you discover.
Thanks ! ! -
If I connect my mini to my windows 8 computer will the computer run on ios?

Your Mac doesn't run iOS now. iOS is for the iPad, iPod touch and iPhone.

Can I use the same itunes for my ipad and iphone on my computer? Will the computer erase my other device information?
The computer will not erase the information. Each device will show up in iTunes as a separate device and you can control the information for each device through iTunes.

What are the relevent steps to take in tracking a lost iphone 5 taking into account that the battery was dead at the time
You would have neede to have "Find my phone" activated on the iphone
Log into icloud https://www.icloud.com/ and track. -
you are running the latest version of iTunes, have no other USB devices attached, have no security software installed, and are directly connected to your ISP source, simply restarting the computer and the iOS device can clear up certain issues that could prevent you from restoring. After restarting the computer and iOS device, attempt to restore again.
How big is your library? I would recommend the following troubleshooting steps:
- Backup your library. Always a good idea before messing with things.
- Create a new library. Refer to this article for details: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589. This won't delete your old library, you're just creating a new empty one. Also refer to this article to get back to your old library later.
- Add a few albums into this new library. Not everything, just a small sampling, as a test.
- Activate Match on this new library. You shouldn't have to re-pay, it should just say "Add Computer" or similar.
- At this point, Match should run again. With just a few albums it should complete in just a few minutes.
If iTunes doesn't crash at this point, then likely there's something about your original library that Match doesn't like - what that is I don't know, but at least you'll know it's not your PC. If iTunes still crashes, then if could be a number of other things, but probably not your library. My next suggestion (if you haven't already done this) is to uninstall / reinstall iTunes. If that doesn't work, then my next ideas you won't like. -
"The software update failed. Make sure that your phone is connected to the computer and try again"
Hi
I just had my xperia Z3c in repairs, and now I seem to have the death screen or something. When I connect to a wall charger or my MacBook, it starts turning on and off, displaying the message "The software update failed. Make sure that your phone is connected to the computer and try again", even when it's connected to the wall charger, not the Mac. I've tried pushing the volume up + on/off button for 10 seconds, and Sony Bridge for Mac doesn't recognize the device. I was told to let it charge for an hour before turning it on at the store, which I did, but again, it starts flashing that message as soon as I connect it to anything.
Pleease help me out
Best regards

My Apple TV stops playing after about 10 minutes. It will only work when iTunes is open, so I leave iTunes and and Home Sharing is on. Everything is fine for about 10+ minutes, then the music stops and I get the "spinning circle". I've set the computer's power settings to never shut down, thinking that it was stopping because the power went off, but it still stops. People over for T-giving soon. HELP!!

If itunes is not compatible for windows 7 Does apple have something else to use for media?Hello AEC396
It sounds like you are trying to burn a playlist to a disc in iTunes, but you are getting an errorabout missing drivers. I found a couple of resources that I think might help with an error like this.
I recommend starting with the steps in this article:
iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308
If you are still having trouble with burning a disc after following the steps in that article, I recommend following the steps in this article:

I can no longer edit the info for my songs, movies and tv shows. This occurred since I loaded Windows 7 Pro on my C drive, and then fownloaded ITunes 10. Why will the program not allow me to access the track info to edit it?
Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
Anyways I digress.
So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
