Hello
I just bought an Ipod as what tryingto get itunes to load for 5 hours last Friday night and another 4 hours on Saturday til my head exploaded
I then installed an older version of itunes and it worked but the new version didn't
In the end I re-installed XP home as a "repair" not clean install so that I wouldn't loose any work on my PC and within 40 minutes or so whatever was missing from my PC was installed and itunes 6 went on with no problem
My advise is don't go round the houses like I did, just "repair" your XP installation and it's done
Well, it did for me at least
Hope this helps

ITunes will not install - have tried EVERYTHING - please help

I recently (yesterday) bought an iPod and yesterday installed the iPod and iTunes software on my computer, with absolutely no problems. Then today, when I tried to get onto the Music Store, I could not access it. (error -3212 was the number, I think...it's been a very long night). After searching a number of forums, I attempted to download the newer versions of iTunes and Quicktime; at the end of this attempted installation, I got the Microsoft message that iTunes "has encountered a serious problem and needs to close."
Now, several hours later, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software (with my antivirus software disabled), gone through two system restores (have gone back two days), done the Windows Installer cleanup thing, everything that I have read to do. I went into msconfig and the Quicktime doesn't even show up there. No luck, no luck at all...
My iPod is of absolutely no use to me without the iTunes. I have installed iTunes on a number of computers and have never encountered this problem. Please help!!
Sincerely,

IPOD not being seen in ITunes...I have tried everything - please help!!

Okay, so I have tried everything listed on Apple's website to get my IPOD to be recognized in ITUNES. When I plug my IPOD into the USB port, the "do not disconnect" screen pops up. Nothing happens in ITUNES. Windows Vista pops up and says "Do you want me to scan and fix the IPOD F: drive?" Either selection doesn't do anything. I have tried the 5 R's from apple. I have tried to download every update available etc. I have tried to even go in and update the driver. However Vista is telling me that I have the most up to date version of everything. When my IPOD isn't connected to the PC, everything seems normal - except for the fact that there is no music or anything on it. But all menus are available and accessbile. Can anyone suggest what to do here? I am at a loss. Please help!! Thanks.

Yes, I'm having the same problem. If I connect my iPod to my laptop while iTunes is open, the 'Do not disconnect' sign appears, the battery does not charge, and my iPod doesn't appear either in iTunes or on my desktop. Since it doesn't appear in either of these places, I have to ignore the 'do not disconnect' sign and disconnect anyway. If I then reset my iPod, quite iTunes and reconnect iPod to laptop, everything's fine - iTunes opens, and recognizes the iPod. I guess this isn't the end of the world, since I can simply avoid ever connecting my iPod to my laptop while iTunes is open, but is this normal?

i locked my Ipod 1st generation in zombie farm went to the toilet came back tried to unlock it but i cant screen was blank i have tried everything please help

If you have tried everything, then by definition, there is nothing else to try.
Perhaps if you explained what you tried someone can help.
If you have actually tried everything, then there is nothing anyone can do to help.
Did you try reset?

Hello Miz C,
As I said in answer to your other post, pressing "Yes" when iTunes brings up the dialogue window asking whether you want to replace the songs on your iPod with the songs in iTunes does exactly what it says. If you linked to an empty iTunes or one with only a few or completely different songs it will have erased your original iPod song list. Unless you have the original PC to connect back to the songs you had are gone. You could check out what data recovery programs are on offer but I have no experience of any to fully recommend.

TS4062 My Ipod classic isn't recognised by Itunes and it won't sync. I have tried everything-please help!

I have the latest version of Itunes and I've tried reinstalling it but it made no difference. I recently got a new laptop (a toshiba, windows 8) and downloaded itunes onto it and logged in because I have the same itunes account on other laptops. Syncing is not a problem on the other laptops.
When I plug my ipod into this one, it just says its connected, thats all. Furthermore, I don't have the option to sync using the Devices tab in File because it isn't highlighted when I plug it in.
I have tried other things that have been suggested for problems like these, but nothing seems to be working. I'm wondering if its just because my ipod isn't registered or something. If so, does anyone know how to do that?
Thank you so much in advance for reading this. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

I did a reset on my iphone 4 now it's stuck on the connect to itunes screen.. I've tried EVERYTHING. please HELP!!!

I did a reset on my iphone 4.. now it's stuck on the connect to itunes screen.. I have tried EVERY troubleshooting thing on the apple site. I've reinstalled to a later date of itunes. I've rebooted.. please HELP!! iTunes stopped recognising my iPhone after I undated hence the reverte back to an older iTunes version. My phone's cord is fine it will charge in the wall on the dock as well iTunes just isn't recognising it?!?!

iTunes will also NOT recognize my iPod Touch.. I've reinstalled iTunes several times on all THREE of my computers to the same result.. I'm going insane.. The newest iTunes has made it a real hassle!! Before I updated my iTunes both connected just FINE!! Now neither my computers (3 of them) or iTunes will recognize the iphone4, or the iPod Touch. The threads that people are posting to go back to the SAME 6 troubleshooting steps aren't really helping. ANYONE else had the same problem but was able to resolve?? A little desperate here!! HELP!!

B210 printer no longer scans or copies I have tried everything please help!

I do not copy or scan very often but today I tried to scan important documents and I no longer have the scanning or copying capability. I can print perfectly from the computer. I have tried everything (I believe) including reinstalling the software. Can anyone please help. I have important documents that needed to go out tonight. Time is money. Thanks in advance.

Hi msiayoyo,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand you are not able to scan or copy with your HP Photosmart B210a, you can print with no problems. Are you getting any error messages on the front panel when you attempt the copy or scan?
I know you have completed some troubleshooting already but I would like you to continue here: A 'Scanner Failure' Message Displays on the All-in-One Control Panel and You Cannot Scan, Copy, or F...
A few tips:
1. Try another wall outlet then the one you normally use, for testing purposes.
2. Make sure you have no power bars or surge protectors as they can cause the printer to lose basic functionality over time, plug the printer directly into the outlet.
3. Try to make a copy from the front panel, what happens?
If you are still not able to make a copy after ALL the troubleshooting has been done, it is more than likely the printer hardware. I would then suggest calling our technical support at 800-474-6836.

IPad battery draining quickly - tried everything, please help!?

Ive noticed recently that my iPad battery is rapidly draining. I've even noticed a 20% decrease just overnight while locked, which has NEVER happened. I've googled and research and tried everything possible. So does anyone have some options I might be missing?
Using 7.1.2, iPad 2.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Firefox 4.0 all of a sudden starts hanging. Tried everything please help.

Okay so I've had firefox 4.0 for months now and all of a sudden it started hanging every few seconds. Now I since this happened I've been looking everywhere for a solution.
I've tried uninstalling it and re-installing 3.6.15. I tried starting it in safe mode and having ALL of my add-ons and everything disabled. I tried creating a new profile, but that still didn't work. I made sure all my plug-ins were up to date and they are.
The first thing I did was run a system wide scan with Norton Internet Security to see if there was a virus and nothing showed up. I've literally tried EVERYTHING I could possibly think of so please please help would be very much appreciated.

Just read that the default memory storage on FF is set to 5 mbs. You can up that by clicking on tools, advanced and overriding the default and set it to 50 mbs (if you use lots of tabs) or 10 mbs (if you use just a few).
I open a blank tab and clear the cache periodically, while I am working. I can have several tabs open and watch videos on Youtube, by doing this. Have you cleared your cache?
Since I have an older computer, I've also used CCleaner for years. I use it often, but always before signing off. You can get it free...search for CCleaner, download from Pirifoam free. I didn't change any of the settings and it clears crap left behind from uninstalling programs, clears all browsers at once of: cookies, history, passwords, etc. I love it!
I had freezing, before using the "open blank tab, clear the cache" thing. Now I have no problems. Plus, as I said...you can change the default memory usage for FF and that should help too.
Hope this helps! Good luck! :)

IMac - LAGS, especially in Safari! Tried everything please help!

Hey everyone!
I have a desktop iMac and in the last few months it has slowed WAY down and its doing my head in!
I bought it 2 and a half years ago and never had these problems with it. It has 4gb of RAM, 500 gb hard drive and i updated to Lion, which is possibly when it started going wrong!
ISSUES:
-Safari majorly lags, especially with YouTube and other online videos, usually gets to about 30 second in then the video stops and lags so badly it freezes the entire machine, i have to force quit Safari!
-simple things such as searching for a file with spotlight has become such a drag. i type in for example 'work invoice' and it takes roughly about 20 seconds so show anything, it used to show it in about 0.000001 seconds lol!
-pretty much everything is much slower now but the main issue is definitely Safari!
WHAT IVE TRIED:
-ive taken it to my local apple repair shop and they found NOTHING wrong, nothing at all, they had the thing for 3 days and found nothing! they ran so many tests and nothing was wrong with the machines hardware, which is annoying i was hoping it would find something!
-ive repaired all the permissions, reset safari several times, transferred about 200gb worth of stuff to external and still no luck
-removed several start up programs and background programs, still nothing, emptied the cache folder like advised by apple over the phone, NOTHING
Im literally stumped i cannot think of anything else that i can do so im hoping all you Apple experts out there have a simple fix for me because its driving me nuts lol!
PLEASE HELP ME, i love my Mac and i want it back to the way it should be!!!!!!!
Thanks a lot

Working ipad BUT black screen, have tried everything, please help

Please help. I have an ipad with a black screen. The screen works because when I reset by holding the buttons down for 10 seconds, it restarts and I can see the Apple logo. When I touch the screen, voice is on, if I try turning off the voice with 3 finger tap, the voice turns off but the screen is still blank. I have tried updatinf the ipad's software via ITunes, but that has not made a difference. I have also tried to restore from backup, but it wants my password and there is no way to input it with a blank screen! I cannot think of anything else that I can do. I ipad clearly is working but without the screen showing I cannot seem to do anything?
Advice appreciated.

I have solved this now by going into an Apple store.
They basically had to do a hard reset as they admitted their was some sort of software problem. They connected the ipad via Itunes, held the home and power button together for 8 seconds, then released the power button whilst still holding onto the the home button.
This then opens up various menu prompts on your PC/Mac to have a complete reload.
I am afraid to restore the ipad back from a previous version in case the problem happens again. At least it is working now though!

Error 69 tried everything, please help

Ok, I've never had problems with iTunes in the past. I purchased Sex and the City seasons 1-3 and have them on my iPod without any problems. I purchased seasons 4 & 5 and now can't get them on my ipod without that error message. I played the episodes in iTunes and they play just fine.
I even restored my iPod and had everything put back on there. Now not all my SATC is on there (the seasons w/o a problem) plus some of my music videos aren't on there, but the weird thing is when my ipod is plugged in it says there's 9.17 GB of video used, before I restored it it had 4.15 and had more video on it(the remainder of SATC and the missing music videos). I'm beyond frustrated right now. I bought this DIRECTLY from Apple... so why the problem? I've done every trouble shooting step. I want my friggn' shows!
Please help

I would try plugging the laptop directly into your cable modem, thus by-passing the router, and check your connection speed. Next, connect the router to the cable modem and plug the laptop directly into the router by cable. Compare your connection speeds. If both work fine by cable, then I think your wifi on the home router isn't broadcasting/working. You say the wifi connects at work/public, which leads me to believe it is not your laptop wifi card. What is your wifi signal strength from your home network? work? public?
