DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

Cannot download apps to iPad since iOS 5.1 update. Get error message "An unexpected error has occurred"

cannot download apps to iPad since iOS 5.1 update. Get error message "An unexpected error has occurred"

Hi mike,
Seems like a frustrating problem! Try restarting your device, and trying again. If that doesn't work, in settings, under store, tap your apple id at the bottom of the page, and then sign out. Sign back in again, and try again.
Also, check you have enough remaining space on your iPad for the app you want to download, you can do this in settings, then general, then usage.
I also reccomend buying the app in iTunes on your computer, and then syncing it to your device.
Let me know how you get on, and I'll get back to you with further help if needed,
Nathan

I have an older Ipod touch with 4.2.1 and cannot be updated any further, how do I install apps on it now? so far every app I have tried says I need an updated IOS. This sounds like I now have an apple product paper weight.

This sounds like I now have an apple product paper weight unless I want to run out and buy the latest and greatest overpriced apple product.

Are you willing to buy a newer iPod? How about the 4g @ 16gb for $199* usd or the 5g @ 32gb for $299*.

It is actually more simple than iTunes lets u believe.
If you just download an older version of iTunes, most likly the one u had before u updated ur computer, that should fix it and then you can update ur ipod and then get the newer version of iTunes.
Thats what i had to do when i got that exact same error just a few months ago.
If that dont work let me know.

Post ios 4.3 update, Missing Music, Cannot Sync 13019 Error

I have an iPod Touch 64G, running 4.3.1 the problem dates to the first ios 4.3 update) and iTunes 10.2.1 on a Windows 7 PC.
Ever since I updated my iPod to ios 4.3, I have been unable to access my music from my iPod. Once I plug in my iPod to one of my computers I can see my entire library in iTunes and can play songs from the computer (the songs are only on the iPod and not saved on that particular computer). As the song starts to play, my iPod attempts to synchronize, but then I get the 13019 error. When I look for the songs on my iPod, the screen says I have no music.
I have tried the language switch and music fixes listed here
http://osxdaily.com/2010/11/24/fix-for-no-content-on-iphone-ipod-after-ios-4-2-1 -update/
as well as deleting my sole voice memo (another suggested fix in the forums) all to no avail.
The original sync'd computer (running XP) is temporarily out of commission until I replace a part. I have two other laptops (Windows 7 and Vista) which I'm using to access the music on my iPod. I would like to be able to access my music on my iPod without having to plug it in to a computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for replying. I have tried those techniques. I have deleted my voice memos . However because my sync settings are on manual I can't deselect the auto sync music option. I was able to sync my apps with this computer, but trying to sync Books leads to the same error.

IPad2 Issues after iOS 8.1 update

iPad2 64g wifi + cellular -   very slow and non-responsive since iOS 8.1 update. nonstandard Apps seem to be working fine.. it’s the standard item like photos and safari that don't respond.
photos - (which I use daily to show clients examples) will freeze and kick me out back to the home page when trying to do anything from open a photo for viewing to trying to delete a photo. Edit.. forget it.   better off using an alternate app to edit a photo as it locks up and crashes every time.   I really need to be able to view the photos on my iPad2
safari -   good luck using any hyper link…. It doesn’t respond.   Even at Apple’s website.   Sometimes it crashes but most of the time it just ignores me like I haven’t touched the screen
Overall - the touch screen is glitchy since the iOS 8.1 update. It was slow after the iOS 8.0 update but has become almost unusable after the 8.1 update.
I cannot afford to purchase a new iPad. And I really need to find a way to make this one work.
I did read about how to restore to an older iOS version.   The only problems are all of my laptop is Windows based and the instructions assumed you had a Mac.   I did a backup to iTunes prior to the 8.0 update but I have also done backups since.   So I am not sure I have a “clean” iOS 7 backup.
Any ideas would be appreciated   Thank you in advance for your help

For the touch issues in Safari, does scrolling or zooming the page before you try to tap a link make it work again? I've read a few posts that this may be a workaround for that issue.

IOS 5.1 Update, Home Button Doesn't Work.

Ever since I installed the iOS 5.1 update on my iPhone 4, the home button does not work at all! I've tried every trouble shooting solution I could find. I've Restarted, I can't hard reset because the home button doesn't work, I've restored from back up, I've restored as new, I've vacuumed out and gently used a tooth brush in the port below the home button in attempt to remove any dust. I've tried opening a factory installed app such as Maps, Safari, Stocks etc and held the top button until the "Slide to power off" showed and then held down the home button until it went to home screen except it didn't go to the home screen at all the "slide to power off" disappeared after a while. I have extremely intermittent response with the Home Button. If i press it continuously it will work after 27 presses one time or 9 presses another but never when I try to do a hard reset and 9.999 times out of 10 it doesn't work. I am so frustrated! I didn't get it wet and it stopped working immediately after the software update. HELP!

I talked to Apple today and was told that it's a "hardware issue" and they will not fix it. I will have to pay 169.00 to have it repaired because it is no longer covered. He told me that "the software update triggered a hardware problem" and that they haven't heard of this issue before either and this was after he went and "spoke with a senior service advisor". The thing is that if THEIR software update triggered the "hardware problem" meaning that if I hadn't updated at all my phone would be in perfect working order right now then HOW IS THAT NOT A SOFTWARE ISSUE?! I am beyond livid. I cannot continue using my phone with assistive touch, NOTHING else works and I know this isn't the first time they've heard of it because how can so many people be having this problem and Apple NOT be aware of it?! My family has bought three MacBooks, three MacBook Pros, one iPad, two iPad 2s, seven iPhone 3s, one iPhone 3GS, five iPhone 4s, two iPhone 4S, four Apple TVs, one Time Capsule and COUNTLESS versions of iPods and have never had an issue having any of them repaired and only four of those products had to be and it was a fast and hassle free...then again they all were covered still at the time of repair...
How do you restore to a previous firmware? I don't want a new phone...I want MY phone to work...the one that worked perfectly before their update....this is beyond ridiculous...I wish apple would take a look at their own support communities and see that this ISN'T our problem...it's a problem created by THEM.

Do you have a working internet connection? Have you tried disabling your computer's security software?

Previous version of Director Movie - cannot be updated

I am upgrading my previous director movies and get an error "This Director movie was created with a much earlier version of Director. It cannot be updated".
I am using Director 12 and I think the .dir and .cst files were used pre Director 8.5. I know I should open them in 8.5 and convert and then maybe have to do this again in v12? But I do not have version 8.5. Does Adobe or can anyone offer the service of updating previous versions of my director movies? Any suggestions?
OSX Mavericks, Director 12
I have just tried to open my Director 11 but all I get is a white black screen.
kind regards
Tristan

Sorry for being a bit grumpy – I find the Director forum a bit hard to deal with, when people criticize D12.
Being able to produce iPad apps is a MIRACLE for me
But, I do understand where you’re coming from – RE: making iPad apps is NOT as easy as making Windows & Mac projectors.
How times have changed – you can’t even make a Windows / Mac projector without it coming up with so many warnings re: unsigned program / who made this? Ect… - which puts most people off.
(Rumour is that the next Apple OSX will only install apps from their app store. )
When I have more time, I’ll post some more of my ios / iPad demos.
I also understand the suicide comment (lol) – I’m working on a very expensive iPad app, which works great for about 20 minutes, then it bombs out.
If this helps >
If you make a D11.5 mac projector, and it asks for shockwave 11 to install – yet it’s not a shockwave file but a projector???
Try NOT inbedding the xtras into the projector – but have them in an ‘xtras’ folder outside of the file.
Just make sure you put all the xtras ‘you use’ in the folder!
This should fix this problem.
One of your xtras is not being inbedded? / is missing? – so director tries to find it by downloading shockwave – but when it tries, it downloads the latest shockwave 12 – when it really needs the older xtra from shockwave 11 to work.
resX could be replaced by…
if the runmode <> "Author" then
    the stageColor = the stageColor -- removes the white flash
    (the stage).rect = (the desktopRectList)[1]
    (the stage).drawRect = (the desktopRectList)[1] -- this makes the stage full screen!
end if
pom (print’o’matic) could be replaced by…
print() – move text & graphics to a flash object first!
Thanks.
