It will not let me back up my iphone to my computer.
Everytime I try to backup my device it says "Itunes could not back up this device because it is corruot or not compatible with this iphone. Please delete this back up and try again." I have tried this over and over again and it still want let me. Before I upgraded the device it was saying this message to me and it is still saying this after I upgraded my iphone.
When did you make your last backup?
Go to this folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
(This is on windows 7) dont know what it is exactly for Windows 8.
Delete all file's in this Backup folder EXEPT 1 (last one made). The last one you made you have to cut, and past in to anoter map (temporary).
Now try again to make a backup via iTunes.

Have a AT&T iphone 4 and it will not let me login to the iPhone without a sims card and if you use a AT&T sims card it won't work
Define "won't work"...
You can not activate an iPhone without a SIM. If the phone is carrier locked, you must have a valid Sim from the correct carrier.

MacBook Pro will not let me back up document to CD
On my MacBook Pro, I am trying to back up a document to CD. I am getting a message that says, "You do not have permission to load document to 'filename'. Make sure you have write access for this location". I did a repair permissions in Disk Utility, not sure why it will not let me. Any suggestions?
Hi kjgaraffa,
In order to save a file from an application to a CD, you need to first save the file to your MacBook's drive and then burn the resulting file to the CD. See this article for how to burn the CD -

I have had iTunes on my computer, which is not an apple poducts for about 6 or 7yrs now, just recently it will not let me play the music I have downloaded. I get a error message stating this computer is not registered. So I put in the information to register it, and it tells me that this computer is already registered. But I still can't play my music, the error message just keeps popping up. Can anyone help me?
Check the information on the song, Right-Click -> Get Info.
In the fist pane, (Summary), you will see the AppleId (Account Name) that was used to buy the song.
Be sure to login to use this account to register this computer to play the song
What I often see, Is that people have many different AppleID, sometime not even knowing it, which is a big problem. -
Firefox will not let me back up bookmarks worked earlier in April but not now
My bookmarks will not save. I try backing up in downloads section for Windows 8.1 Update 1 and desktop section but nothing. just wont save. Worked back on April 24. Recently I just updated my Adobe applications and Adobe Edge Code CC took over the default file. Maybe that is causing it? I dont remember what the original file was but image was white. Is it notepad or wordpad? Those are the 2 other programs show when I hover over open with after right clicking a prior back up. Anyone know a fix or if this is widespread bug? If its one of those 2 programs and I just have to change back can someone tell me? Any help would be great.
What steps are you following to create the backup -- is it the method described in this article: [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]?
If Windows is not showing the full names of some Firefox files, for example, if it is hiding extensions such as .js and .json, please switch the Windows setting so you can identify the files as accurately as possible. These Microsoft support articles has some different approaches (you probably need to use the "Desktop" side of Windows 8.1 for this):

My iPad will not progress past the home screen, and my computer doesn't allow me to download my data from it. What do I do? I wanted to try to restore it, but I don't want to lose my "stuff".
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose your "stuff" with Recovery Mode. -
Had asked for help with iCloud 3 weeks ago. Cloud has my old email and I no longer know the password, wont't let me sign in with new email. When I talked with apple cust service they assured me that everything associated with apple would change over. NO it did not! Cannot find how to get cloud to change this. My Iphone says I have not backed up in 9 weeks because of iCloud. Can anyone help me or give me some advise please
Thank you so very much
Sandie PSame thing happened to me. My son's iPod touch suddenly started indicating that my "username or PW had changed" or was "incorrect" so I paid Apple $30 to find out that all that was required was updating the software by plugging his iPod into my computer & syncing with iTunes. My problem was then solved.

When creating a new ID i incorrectly entered the email address. How do i correct it when i cannot sign in because its telling me i must first verify
Then, if there's any data on the drive that you want to keep, you have to back up before you do anything else -- assuming it's still possible.
Basically you have three options:
1. Install a copy of the Mac OS on an external hard drive, boot from it, and copy the data from the internal drive.
2. Start the problem Mac in FireWire target mode (command-T at startup) and connect it to a working Mac with a FireWire cable. The internal drive will mount as a FireWire device.
3. Remove the internal drive and mount in an external enclosure on another Mac.
Once you've backed up, follow the sequence in the support article linked below. The article is somewhat outdated. Where it refers to booting from an installation disc, you should boot from your recovery partition (if running Lion) by holding down the key combination command-R at the chime.

I have just updated software on Iphone 5, thinking it would be a simple operation. I enter my passcode as requested, of course it won't let me in. It has now disabled it for 7 minutes. I have tried numerous attempts with the same lock code I have been using all year. I looked up on Google and it said something about disabling the Icloud icon. Could some one please help ?
press and hold both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and then let them go. Wait till the phone restarts and then try

my ipad will not let me open the screen to do anything due to an icloud back up message saying that the ipad has not been backed up in 2 weeks.
When i tap ok nothing happens i cannot slide to unlock the screen to connect to the internet or for anyother function.
Please any help will be welcomedHey herbthewelder,
I'd give these troubleshooting steps a try, they're for when your iPad appears frozen or unresponsive:
If the device is unresponsive or certain controls aren't working as expected, try restarting
To turn off the device, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Slide your finger across the slider to turn off the device.
To turn on the device, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), try resetting
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds.
You can read more about the troubleshooting steps here:
