Is anyone out there that can help me? Questions about connecting to new PC
I had to replace my PC & do not have a backup for my phone. I have copied photos to flashdrive to put on new one, but not sure what to do about contacts. I have looked around the discussions & did the transfer purchases from iphone, so hopefully that will take care of things bought on the phone. Someone discussed how to create a backup, by right clicking under device. If I do this to my phone before I sync with the new computer, will I be able to create a backup that I can use to salvage all the info on my phone that I can't drag & store on my own? Or will this delete all of my phone information, just like syncing with the new computer will? I appreciate all of the anticipated help, this is not my forte!
I posted last night, but no help............hoping it was just bad timing......
Okay! I have been dipping in the pool a toe at a time. I backed up the phone, never could find it in my files, but whatever. I synced notes, calendar & contacts, one at a time & everything copied to my PC. Now, I have to move on to the real world & get things done. But will attempt later to salvage music & ringtones. If you have any advice.....
Thanks for all of your help & support!!

I just got a new iphone 5c this is my first smart phone. I have an Ipad so thought it would be easy.
I downloaded the new software don't know if this changed anything. I have only had phone for 4 days
but now the light won't shut off. I have to turn off the phone for it to go out. I did the holding down home
button and start button till apple shows up. I checked to make sure the LED flash for alerts button was off.
I don't know what else to do. Anyone out there have the same problem and have found an answer.
Thank you!After powering the iPhone off and on, the light goes out but turns back on randomly or immediately after powering the iPhone on?
Since nothing else you have tried has resolved it, try restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the iPhone's backup first.
If no change after that, try restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
If no change after that, the iPhone has a hardware problem.
Call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby. -

I am having trouble with two cover flows on my IPOD, duplicating themselves more than once, they haven't duplicated themselves in my Itunes library, just the ipod, could anyone have any ideas on how I could fix this problem. I have tried so many times, even if I restore the ipod, it still does the same thing. Please if possible email me at [email protected] with any suggestions.
Aha! I have sorted it.
For those with similar problems, the solution is this:
Macintosh HD > Library > Audio > MIDI Drivers
Then delete DigiDioMidiDriver.plugin -
Is there anybody out there that can answer the question about the backup on the external hard drive?
I need some help please. I have been using an external hard drive to keep my itunes on because the file was so big. I understand that Itunes backs up all of the text, photos, contacts, ect.. everytime you sync your phone. Is this where itunes is storing all this information and if so how do I find it?
Hi,
I agree that the back up file is big and the file you saved was your iTunes Library (%USERPROFILE%\Music\iTunes) but, your iTunes saves your backup data in a different location.
if you are on Windows XP: %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
if you are on Windows Vista/7: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
so i suggest you also back up those folder(s) in your computer to your external hard drive.(I recommend that you backup the iTunes & MobileSync folder found in AppData as you may need if in the future.)
as for the iTunes Folder found in Music/My Music folder, that is your iTunes library and you should also backup that folder so that in the future, if anything happens to your computer, you will be able to still sync you iDevice on another computer with the same library.
Note: In the Backup Folder, there will be a folder with a very long name. If you have several iDevices backed up, you will find it useful to know that each iDevice has a Identifier (UDID) and that the long name of the folder is your iDevice Indentifier (UDID) and the "-" next to the UDID is the Date followed by the time.
eg.2b6f0cc904d137be2e1730235f5664094b831186-20101016-222905
Meaning UDID was 2b6f0cc904d137be2e1730235f5664094b831186
the Date was 16/10/2010 (20101016)
and the Time was 22 Hours 29 Minutes 5 seconds (222905)
to Find your iDevice UDID, refer to this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

According to The Missing Manual, Version 10.6.8 of the Mac OSX Snow Leopard system should have a password generating utility, called the "Password Assistant," which actually generates passwords for you. I've been unable to find this miraculous utility on my Mac, and seek enlightenment from the learned readers of this community. Anyone out there have some light to shine on my dark corner?
I think the "Password Assistant" they are specifically referring to comes up when creating or changing an Account's password. For example, go into your System Preferences Accounts. Select an Account. Click the Change Password... The sheet that drops down has a little key in a box. Click that. And a window with the title "Password Assistant" is displayed.
Example: Using Apple’s Password Assistant
Note, the Password Assistant can also be brought up from Keychain Access's New Password Item... menu. It brings up a sheet with a little key too.
Lastly, a little google searching flushed out a little app which apparently directly uses the built in OS X Password Assistant used by Change Password and Keychain Access. It's called, no surprise, Password Assistant and can be found here. -

Use the Activity Monitor to force quit the loginwindow process. Save all open documents before doing this; there won't be any further confirmation prompts.

Anyone out there who can help me?
My itune 7.2 doesn't recognize a CD after the first one was copied........In other words it still has the CD it just finished even though it's been ejected..I put in a new CD to copy and it doesn't change from the CD i just copied....What can i do?
Are you copying CD's or importing them into iTunes to use on iPOD etc?
iTunes isn't relly designed to make exact copies of existing CD's you'd be better off using the burning software that came with the PC/CD writer -
I have an iMac 27" which is 4 years old and probably overdue for a clean-up. Is there any good reliable software out there that would help?
Has anyone had any experience of 'Mackeeper'?Check how many applications are starting when you log in, I found that if there was a lot of activity at login Finder did not display the icons on the desktop correctly, again like you it did not occur at every login, just occasionally.
For Safari have you tried resetting Safari, if that does not help you could disable plugins and extensions one at a time. You may find one of those is causing the problem. -
My iphone 4s remains in recovery mode permamently. Itunes wont restore it, constant messages of error 4013 keeps coming up on screen, is there any1 out there who can help before i crack up?
Hello Sean,
It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

Just for my own privacy i would like to set up a password or pin number on my messgae app is there anything out there that will help me do this please comment if there is a possible solution out there. I know alot may say what you have to hide but ive got nothing to hide i just want one on there so my privacy is not broken by friends and family if they fancy playing on my phone and having a snoop round my phone.
If you visit these forums often, you will read about the 2 year old child who accidentally wiped out the parents phone, the kid who set a passcode and didn't remember what it was, etc etc etc
Passcode your device. Protect your device. It really isn't a toy. The toy is the iPod touch. -
Any Slingboxers out there who can help me?
I have a new Slingbox Pro and it works with my network plug and play, but I can't get it configured for remote access. I have an Airport Express attached to an iMac, with a second Express acting as WDS. I plugged the SB into the WDS AE and as I said the setup worked fine. But no remote viewing. I have found lots of info on the SB board but none about this particular setup and none that has helped me make this work.
I suspect it has something to do with port forwarding... but not sure.
Anyone out there with experience who could lend a hand? Thanks.Actually, I also figured it out -- it was pretty easy.
1) Make sure you have an Airport express (in my case, an Airport Extreme Base Station) connected to the internet.
2) A second AX is set up as a wireless bridge (i.e, to join the existing Airport network to extend the range of the AEBS).
3) Slingbox is connected to the ethernet port on the second AX.
4) Run the Slingbox Setup Assistant. An IP address (10.0.1.XXX) will get assigned to the Slingbox.
5) Using Airport Admin Utility, open up the AEBS and configure "Port Mapping" to forward public port 5001 to private port 5001 and in the space for the "private address" fill in the XXX from the IP address previously assigned to the Slingbox.
Go somewhere outside your network to check your connection; you should be good to go. The entire process was complete in under 10 minutes.
