    I got a replacement Iphone5 from Apple. I went home and tried to synced it with ITunes but said to register as a new device to do update then I can restore old back up, now can't back up old phone info and can't activate my Apple ID for iMessage

    Can you clarify your problem? Are you having trouble restoring your new iPhone from a previous phone's backup? Or are you having trouble logging into iMessage?

  • After a recent itunes version update, itunes doesn't recognize my iphone or ipad?

    after a recent itunes software update, itunes does not recognize my iphone 5 or ipad

    Hey there Laughlkw,
    It sounds lik eyou iPhone and iPad are not showing in the iTunes sidebar after a recent update. A number of issues could cause this type of behaviour, and would recommend starting with the troubleshooting from the article named:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    If the issue is not resolved, I would next re install iTunes with the following article:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • If I update to Mavericks can I go back to Lion

    If I update to Mavericks can I go back to Lion

    If your system shipped with Lion, you'll need to use Internet Recovery so that you can repartition the disk and so remove the Recovery Partition:

    If your system shipped with Mac OS X 10.6, you'll need to boot from the 10.6 installer DVD and use Disk Utility to repartition, then install 10.6, update to 10.6.8, and download Lion again from the Mac App Store.
    Regards.

    RESOLVED!!! I logged on to my Straight Talk online account, and did a Tech Chat. They immediately gave me a direct phone number and a Reference PIN number and asked me to contact their iPhone specialty support. I called (of course the gentleman's accent was very difficult for me to understand, but managed with asking continually for clarity). He walked me through several tests, setting changes and had me get on my wifi to obtain the latest APN settings. None of his efforts worked ad it was obviously NOT my Straight Talk iPhone 5, 64GB CDMA (no SIM) - it was something with their setting on their end on my account. I was placed on hold a few times and he would come back on to have me try to get on Safari and even Google... after the 3rd on-hold, he returned and asked me to try to use my data again without the wifi turned on and BINGO it worked... I still do not have my wifi turned on and I'm still receiving texts from YESTERDAY too while I was away from wifi service. IF you come across this issue - please call Straight Talk and/or log on to your Straight Talk online account and talk to an online customer service representative and get their direct line phone number for iPhone support and have your Reference PIN number available. Good Luck

  • ITunes hanging after moving library to wifi drive

    I have MacBook Pro (bought Feb 2011, upgraded to Lion), Airport Extreme and a new external hard drive connected through Airport Extreme. Today, I moved my library to the remote drive and imported a HUGE collection into iTunes (some 25+ GB of songs). While importing 1655th song out of 4200+ songs, iTunes hanged and I had to 'force quit' the process. Since then, iTunes just keeps hanging everytime I start the program.
    Connectivity to the wifi drive is not a problem, as I am sitting practically right next to it.
    While trying several things, I upgraded iTunes to the latest version (10.4.1), but the issue continues.
    Do I just leave the MacBook next to AE to give itunes a chance to sync the huge collection? Is the collection corrupted and needs to be made again (how do I do that)?
    Please help!!
    Thanks
    Harmeet

    Move it all back to the C: drive to exactly where it was before, and follow these directions to fix it.

  • My friend wanted to get some of the music off my itunes. when syncing it needed to udate her phone which it did - now all her photos are gone. and the last back up was from when she used my itunes 6  ago. How can we get back her photos :(Please help

    My friend wanted to get some music off my itunes - when syncing it it said she had to update her phone software first - which it did. Now all her photos are gone. When we tried to restore the last back up - the only one was from when she used my itunes 6 months ago which was from her old iphone. So now it has put all her photos from her old phone onto her new iphone and deleted all the new ones. We cannot find her new photos. Please help and there was 100 new pics. Is there any way we can get them back. I already have the program Asoftech - but it doesnt seem to register the iphone only C and D drive. Please help!

    This is called "stealing". You do not have the legal right to give her the music you have in your iTunes library unless you are the copyright holder.
    when syncing it it said she had to update her phone software first
    That's not quite what it said.  Someone should have paid more attention to the great big warning about the possibility of losing data if the phone wasn't backed up.

    It restored the backup that was made on your computer 6 months ago, which did not contain those photos. You're wasting your time trying to find them on the phone. They don't exist.
    Hopefully, your friend syncs her phone to her own computer on a regular basis. She needs to plug her phone into her computer and restore it from her last backup. That will restore it to the state it was in when the backup was made.
    She also needs to get in the habit of extracting the photos on a regular basis, like she would from any other digital camera.

  • Itunes hangs with itunes match in Mountain Lion

    Right!
    I've seen all the "Itunes hanging" issues that Apple is choosing to ignore. So I'm adding my bitter experience to this too!
    I have:
    Re-installed Mountain Lion, tried to run the latest version of itunes, and pulled down my cloud stored library. It hangs itunes, then hangs Mountain Lion.
    I have:
    Created a new user, and tried to do the same....it hangs itunes...then hangs the computer.
    I have:
    Tried using the rescue partition, and it ....yes, youve guessed it hangs itunes, and hangs the computer.
    I don't have wirless on, and am using a network cable. I've tried using wifi....
    My machine is:
    Mac Pro
    Processor  2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Memory  12 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB
    Software  OS X 10.8.3 (12D78)
    I'm a film editor and photo-journalist hence the amount of ram.
    Allof this started when Apple released Mountain Lion.....IT ALL WORKED BEFORE!
    Can the developers figure out what is happening, or are they focusing their efforts on trying to create the next rich experience pioneered by Mr.Ives.
    Fed up with this, I used to be proud of using Apple, however, I'm starting to like the look of Windows 8.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers

    I have an old Firefox. Every time I update to a new version, I can't get back on the internet. It tells me it can't find the server. So I have to uninstall the updated version and go back to my old version.

  • ITunes Hangs on Start and Can't Load My Library

    I started installing iTunes 11.1.1 on OS X 10.8.5 but, forgot to restart the computer.  Then, a few days later, I opened iTunes and it hung on opening.  It wouldn't even force quit.  So, I ended up having to hard restart the computer.  After that it still hung on start-up.
    Eventually, I deleted iTunes and then used "Clean My Mac" to delete a more few more stray files.  Then, I reinstalled iTunes 11.1.1.  After that, it opened with an empty iTunes folder.  The only thing listed was my purchased music from iCloud.  Then, I replaced the default iTunes folder with my original iTunes folder from about a month ago, using Time Machine. That didn't help, it still hung up at start and I had to force quit each time.
    I tried going back further in time machine (about 3 months) and the same thing happened. So, I'm pretty sure it's not the library folder.
    I also tried repairing permissions with the Disk Utility and that didn't seem to help anything either.
    Yesterday a new version of iTunes was released (11.1.2 I believe) so I upgraded to that thinking it would help, but no, I still have the same problem.
    Can anyone help me get iTunes working again with my original library?

    Where are you looking on the iPad ? Your synced music (and that which you download from iTunes directly on the iPad) should go into the Music app

  • My iTunes wont update, and I can't connect my new iPhone if it doesn't update. It says error when I try to update, and I cant download it because of a "Windows Installer" error...

    I just not a new iPhone and in order to sync it I need the newest iTunes, but I can't update it! I tried checking for updates and then trying to downlaod it. I get this error: "Errors occured while installing the updates. If the problem persists, chose Tools > Download Only and try installing manually."
    Where on earth is Tools anyway?
    When I tried just reinstalling all of iTunes, I had a Windows Installer error...I don't even know what that is!

    tools is at the top of the apple updater but dont get your hopes up
