ITunes and Apple-account doesn't show the name of device on iOS 7.0.4
This is what I have found:
After installing iOS 7.0.4. on a few of my devices I discovered that there is something changed in the way iTunes and my Apple-account show the devicenames.
It now only shows "iPhone" on the right top in iTunes instead of the chosen devicename (in my case f.e. "iPhone 5s PJ"). My wifes iPad Mini, which is still on iOS 7.0.3., is still showing "iPad Mini Adinda" (what I entered in Settings>General>About>Name) Also when I look in iTunes in the list of my to iCloud attached devices it the same problem. It now is very difficult to determine which device is which
iTunes version is 11.1.3.8
Anybody more who have this?

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, restore the iPad > iTunes: Restoring iOS software

I have an iPod with iOS 4.2.1 and would like to up date to version 5. The pc I normally sync with has XP operating system. So I can't up date to iTunes 10. And my iPod doesn't show the software update button shown in the article. What can I do?
You cannot update it if you can't get the latest version of iTunes. Actually, the latest version of iTunes will run in XP if you have Service Pack 2. Also, you posted in the iPad forum, and your profile shows you have an iPad, but in your post, you say it is an iPod. Is it an iPad or an iPod?

I was updating my 3GS on iTunes and my phone has froze, showing the apple symbol, what can I do?
I was updating my 3GS on iTunes and my phone has frozen, showing the apple symbol only, what can I do about this?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iPhone 4S is picked up by both itunes and iphoto but doesn't show up in Finder
My iPhone 4S is picked up by both itunes and iphoto but doesn't show up in Finder and I can't get it to sync with iCal. Any ideas? I've had trouble in the past with cameras and other devices not showing up in Finder and I don't know what is wrong! I have a Mac OS X 10.5.8 which is quite old but this is its main problem...
Thanks!The sync is 2 way. If you created items in the calendar on the phone, however, BEFORE you set up the sync relationship, those items are stored in the calendar on the phone only.
Go into the calendar and tap the "Calendars" button in the upper left. You will see lists of all the calendars. On my iPhone are those that live exclusively on the phone. You will also see From My Mac (or something similar) as well as any that are synced with Exchange accounts, iCloud, etc.
Now go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Scroll down to Calendars and make sure the Default Calendar is set to the correct calendar. I don't believe there is any easy way to move all your entries from the local calendar to the one that syncs with iCal, but you can go into each entry and specify which calendar it belongs to. -
A standard map on my iPhone 4s is suddenly not working. It shows the blue dot but it doesn't show the actual Map where I can see the streets.
I don't know how to fix this problem. I did try so many ways even restarted iPhone but still not working... Please help me out.Hi JinHDK,
Yes I worked previously but it's now not working. I did double click home botton and terminate the maps many time but still not working.
The standard maps just not show any route only the blue dot (my location.) I really don't know what to do. Btw, I used to live in SF but now I'm traveling to Thailand. One of my friend is using iPhone 4S as well but his maps is working. So I guess it is about its application on my phone...
Thank you. -
I purchased an iphone 5s, replacing my iphone 4. I purchased the new iphone at a Verizon store and they activated my new iphone there. Do I need to remove my old iphone from my itunes/ apple account and add the new phone ? I do not see the iphone 5s listed on the devices in my itunes yet.

Connect your new phone to your computer using the USB cable and it should appear in iTunes. If it doesn't you will need to troubleshoot. Then see: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109 -
I've recently updated the iPod and also restored it. But the problem with the wifi connectivity still prevails. There is also a problem with the battery. After having charged it completely, the usage still doesn't appear in the settings. Any opinions as to what could be the probable problem?
In settings>general>usage it shows --
And yes, it shows the same problem when connected to other networks. -
Here is my problem:
I'm unable to download the latest software iOS 6.0.1 to my iphone 4 because there is not enough available space. I tried to sync my iphone to itunes and it says, "itunes cannot read the contents of this iPhone. Go to the Summary tab in iPhone preferences and click Restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings."
I backed up my data to icloud to ensure everything is backed up. Is there a way to verify if data was really backed up in icloud?
What else can I do in order to free up enough space to download the newest version iOS 6.0.1? Current version on the iphone is 5.1.1 and there is only 1.6 GB of space remaining. I need 2.5 to download the software.If you really are running OS 10.4.6 you have a long way to go!
So, assuming you are not, what version of OS X do you have? -
ITunes account doesn't show the song play count
My iTunes account stopped displaying my song play count.
Hey DC71955,
Great question, it sounds like the "Plays" column is not selected. We simply need to turn it back on.
In iTunes 11, click the "View" menu and choose "Show View Options". Located under "Stats" is the "Plays" option.

I purchased several books but on itunes but cannot open them on my iphone 4S. I purchased one without problem. However, the next several appear in my library but have a solid black line on the cover as though they haven't downloaded. When I check my itunes account for possible downloads, it shows everything has been done. Any suggestions?
Could you take a screenshot of this line?
Press home and sleep button at the same time I believe. -
I go to "Bookmark this page" then click on "Bookmarks menu" I get a drop down menu that gives me a solection of files to go to and within that is "choose" selection.
When I go there the "new folder" option is greyed out. Therefore I cannot set up a new folder. I am aware that I can create a folder within the bookmarks drop down itself.....but I have always used the above mentioned facility.
Can anyone help please.

Briefing Book Title shows the name of the Analysis along with Report Name
Hi,
When I add a report to the briefing books, The title of the PDF document shows the report name and below that it also shows the name of the analysis. Normally we save our analysis with some standard naming conventions having some special characters. Client does not need that name in the PDF.
How can I stop the Analysis Name to appear on the briefing book?
Please suggest.
Thanks
Gaurav A.That's a great question, and it seems like something that should be standard with iCal.
The only thing I could think of would be to add the patient as an invitee, but that still wouldn't solve the problem of having their name be the title of the appointment. But the auto-complete function is there.
The other option (which is more convoluded) would be to use Filemaker Pro. It is extremely powerful and customizable and there are plenty of people out there who know how to develop for it. This option would be more expensive, but it could also be custom-tailored to your needs.
Those aren't great answers so I'm interested to see what others say. I'd like to implement it into my own iCal app. -
Help. My Apple TV won't sync with my computer. I've done all the troubleshooting tips, but Apple TV doesn't show up in my Preferences under devices.
2. Reconnect Apple TV to iTunes.
Choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (Windows), click Apple TV, and make sure "Look for Apple TVs" is selected.
I see no option to select "look for Apple TV's" in Preferences, and there is no device list at all in my sidebar.
3. If Firewall is on in Mac OS X (in the Sharing pane of System Preferences), make sure iTunes Music Sharing is selected.
There is no option to select iTunes Music Sharing in my System Preferences - see screenshot
I've updated all software, restarted Apple TV, my wireless router, and my computer. Both my computer and the Apple TV are connected to the same wireless network and both are operating properly. They just wont connect to each other.
Does anyone have any suggestions?FIRSTLY: bookmark following for further reference (it describes basic setup, both to link for syncing and to stream - from any computer.)
Apple TV (1st generation): Differences between syncing and streaming" )
Now as to your problem: If you check under "Computers" in the "Settings" menu you will most likely see the name of your iTunes library Greyed out. IF that's the case, you'll basically need to re-setup your ATV., you can do so as follows (instructions are intentionally over described, but basically your disconnecting then reconnecting your ATV1. Downside (which seems to come with all methods is that you'll have to resync all your media)
**A (not ideal but effective solution)
If ATV 1 had been working but suddenly 'disappeared" from iTunes sidebar
The following solution will almost surely work to regain your ability to Sync:
QUIT iTunes
Select "Computers" from "Settings" Menu.
Select your "greyed out" iTunes library.
This will bring up a window named "Disconnect from iTunes"
You're now given the choice to Cancel, or disconnect. WITH THE WARNING that if you disconnect any content synced with iTunes, will be erased. (in fact it will be removed from your ATV but not your computer)
Assuming ALL of your media IS on your computer, Go ahead and disconnect.
Follow instructions in the Apple doc above about setting up your ATV as a paired computer.
After you ATV gen1 reappears in the sidebar. Reset all your desired syncing preferences,
Begin syncing.
All will be fine again, (at least till the next time this occurs.) I've had to do this twice this year.
ALTERNATELY:
SHARING (a QUICKER, less destructive TEMPORARY solution (if you just want to play your media now)
You CAN set your computer to Share by following instructions in the same doc under the heading:
"How to connect to a shared computer"
HOWEVER, this will not allow you to sync info.
I've read alternate solutions on this board, one involved changing the name of your iTunes Library etc... you may wish to try this first (if it applies) https://discussions.apple.com/message/17943841?ac_cid=142432#17943841
What I'd like to know: What causes this problem... I'm suspecting iTunes updates, or any iTunes database issues or crashes. Or maybe too many visitors connecting to your other Apple devices (ATV 2 for example) or heck the weather in Guatemala... -
