Disasble the computer's security software during the download and update.

I recently updated my MacBook Pro and now it says I need to restart every time I turn the computer on. It is on a grey screen.

I have not used my MacBook Pro for a few months and when I started it up did all the microsoft and system updates. Now it will not turn on and it goes to a grey page that state "You need to restart you computer. Hold down the Power button untilmitmturns off, then press the Power button again." I have done this several times and keep arriving at the same page.

OK, then there is little else to do other than to reinstall OS X.
Make sure you removed everything connected to the MBP including any USB devices.
If your Mac came with a System Install DVD, then insert it and hold the c key while starting your Mac. This will boot from the DVD instead of your internal disk.
If you find the grey screen reappears then it may not have restarted from the disc, so try again. You have to get past this step to do anything. If you can't, the problem may be a dirty or damaged DVD or an inoperative optical drive.
When it gets to the Mac OS C Utilities screen, select Disk Utility and repair your hard disk. Record any errors that it finds, since your problem may be due to a failed hard disk. If that is the case, the failure will probably arise again.
Then, reinstall OS X. Reinstalling is non-destructive to your user accounts or data.
If your Mac is running Lion, or Mountain Lion, you can boot OS X Recovery and perform all the above without a disc.

Just got new iPad could not restore from iCloud because of operating system had to set up as new to upgrade now how do I get back to restore from the cloud?

I just got a new iPad it had 6.0 iOS and it would not let me restore from the cloud . I had to set up as new to update to 6.1 iOS now I can't find my backups in the cloud help please..

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

Each time you connect your iPhone to iTunes, you need to eject it before closing iTunes by clicking on the little "eject" icon shown in iTunes. It seems that sometime in the past, you did not do that.
I'm not sure how to undo the previously done damage, but maybe a reboot of your Mac would help.

I got a new ipad mini and chose to set up as a copy of my iPad. Didn't sync the music on however as it is a smaller model, not enough room. Now trying to get some pictures and music on. Chose some pictures that were not in iPhoto, got a message that I could only sync with one library, chose cancel, and apply and it downloaded my pictures anyway. Now trying to sync some music but just get "The iPad “Linda’s iPad” is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library?" So I hit cancel. Have tried several times, same thing. What can I try?

You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

HT1349 I ordered iCloud with iTunes on my PC; now I have an iPad mini and want to sync the music

First I added iCloud with iTunes on my PC because I wanted to save the music I had purchases; I had Vista; that PC died and am now on Windows 7; Then I purchased an iPad mini and today I tried to set up both so I could sync the music purchased on iPad mini and PC previously.
However on the PC when I enter iCloud it does not have iTunes available; so I'm stuck and don't know where or how to get the music to sync between the two. It keeps asking for a serial number on the Apple product for the PC but that doesn't apply.
As a newbee I'm grateful for any answers or clues where to go. Thanks, Janet

Unless you backed up your iTunes library from the old computer and then copied it to the new computer, your iTunes library is gone now and you have to start all over again.
I'm not sure what you mean about when you entered iCloud, iTunes isn't available. You will need to explain that a little better. iCloud allows you to download the music again to your computer or to your iPad as long as you use the same Apple ID that you used to purchase the music or any other iTunes content.
Since you have a new computer and no longer have the iTunes library - or so it seems from what you are saying - you need to make the new computer your syncing computer. You might want to take a look at both of these user tips to see how you can do that.

My old computer crashed and I imported my music to my new computer. Now iTunes won't sync the music in my library to my iPhone. How can I fix this?

I hadn't synced my iPhone yet to my new computer after buying some more music. When I went to sync, with that computer, it asked me to delete all the old music that had been from the old computer. I had been through this before with no problems so I had my phone's music wiped and was ready to resync my entire library. Everytime I try, though, it only completes the back up step, and the determing which songs to sync step, but it won't actually sync the music and just says it's done.

Your iPad is married to its now deceased old computer. This is the reason for the necessity of a backup for your computer, which your iPad is not.
Your iTunes Store and App Store purchases will not be lost. Just don't "erase and sync" when you sync your iPad to your new Mac:
If you want to move the iTunes Store purchases on your device to the new computer, choose "Transfer Purchases." The new computer must be set up with your iTunes Store account and authorized to play your iTunes Store purchases in order to transfer your iTunes Store purchases.

The sync is one way - computer to iphone.
You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.

HT3798 my iPod was originally connect to an old HP. The HP has since died and now I own a Macbook pro. I want to transfer the music from my iPod (originally synced with the HP) to my Macbook Pro. Is this possible without losing the music on my iPod?

Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

You should use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.
The ipod will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase teh content from the ipod.

I keep all of my music on my iPod Classic. I inadvertently changed the sync setting on my iPhone 5 to sync the music with my phone. I am overcapacity and want to remove the music from my phone. How do I do that?

I keep all of my music on my iPod Classic. In error, I changed the sync setting on my iPhone 5 to sync the music with my phone. I am overcapacity on my phone and don't want any music on my phone so I want to remove the music from my phone without disturbing my iTune music files on my PC and iPod. How do I do that?

On your phone: Settings>General>Usage>Music...tap the Edit button...then the red minus sign. This will delete all music on your phone.

Last week all of my music on my i-pod classic just got erased. it was not plugged into any thing....i was listening to my music and it just cut off. now it says no music. I attempted several times to sync the music back on it, it keeps erasing itself
