    I am using windows Vista and having this problem also (not exactly, but iTunes gives pop-up that "files are in use"). Acting a suggestion from another answer in this thread, I clicked on Computer and selected eject...windows did warn me that the device was in use, but also gave me a CONTINUE button, which I clicked and it was ejected...had to go back to iTunes and eject the iPod there also, but it did eject

  • Will resetting my home screen layout delete anything?

    Will resetting my home screen layout delete anything? Just wanted to try it out and just making sure that it doesnt do anything that I dont want it do to.

    No, it just rearranges the icons on your Home screens

  • Broken Fonts and Skype Home screen layout, and lay...

    I see another new 7.8 version has been released, but still some old bugs remain:
    Home Screen fonts are broken, at least in Polish verison you seem to use some font that does not contain our accented letters
    Home Screen status boxes 2 columns and 1 column layout is fixed to pre-defined 2 widths only. Come on, you can make it adapt to any size? Leaving some white areas, or making whole screen scrollable is really ugly, and even for regular website this would not be acceptable.
    The same happends on some other screens, like user profile.

    Try doing a Spotlight search for the Contacts app.

  • How do you reset your home screen layout on a mac?

    I reset my homescreen layout once on my iPhone, and iPad before I returned it to get a 3g model. Can you do that on a Macbook Pro? I just want to stay in the default range.

    Open Facetime, go to the Facetime menu, then Preferences.
    If you want to use a different AppleID, click the current ID and click Sign Out, then sign in with new one.
    If you want to keep the same AppleID but link it to a different email address, click Add Another Email, follow the prompts, then click the old email address and click Remove Email.

  • Home screens resetting?

    Hey all,
    I have a 3GS running 3.1.3 (7E18) and 05.12.01. I've got a lot of apps which are organised into different screens, trouble is every so often at random they reset and they go back to their default/order they were downloaded in.
    Any ideas why?
    The phone was plugged into the charger and not to my mac. So I thought ok, if I sync they'd go back to how I organised them? But nope.

    Any ideas why?
    Either this is a manifestation of paranormal activity infecting your phone, or there are corrupted code or settings... It sounds like the Reset Home Screen Layout function is being activated somehow.
    Thy the following basic troubleshooting steps as required:
    1. Reset phone - press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears. (No data or settings deleted.)
    2. Restore phone in iTunes using a backup.
    3. Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    4. Restore in iTunes as new iPhone.
    If none of the above helps, there may be a hardware problem and make an appt. with an Apple Store Genius Bar.

    When I upgraded my iPhone 4s to IOS7, I lost all my app icons. Where did they go? Interestingly they are still listed in notifications and I could play words with friends when I got a message on the home screen that it was my turn (but still no icon)

    Hey linfrommi,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having trouble locating some application after the update to iOS 7. To troubleshoot this issue, let’s reset the home screen layout of your iPhone, which should move all of your applications to the second “page”:
    Reset iPhone settings - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph7a2a9399b
    Reset Home Screen Layout:  Returns the built-in apps to their original layout on the Home screen.
    Thanks,

  • 1.1.3 update installed, but cant customize home screen

    I updated an iPod touch, and I confirmed in Settings > General > About, that it is running Version 1.1.3.
    However, holding my finger down on a home-screen icon for an extended period of time does not put it into customize mode the way it does on my iPhone.
    I also noticed that in Safari, when I hit the + plus sign, it does not give me the option to Add to HomeScreen.
    But I am 100% sure the update installed and is running. I even have an option in settings >
    General > Reset, to "Reset Home Screen Layout"
    Now this update was installed from my Mac. But the iPod touch belongs to a friend and I do not want to register to my itunes, etc. I do have a back-up of their iPod Touch on in my iTunes, so I assume that I can do a restore and she wont loose all her songs and videos. After that I can try to apply the update again. Should this work? Are there any steps I should be aware of. I think the weird thing I am doing is trying to update the software from a computer (my macbook) that is not the same computer the iTouch usually syncs with. But I have done this with other peoples iPhones before and never had a probelm.
    any advice would be much appreciated.

    In addition to installing the firmware version 1.1.3 you must purchase a licence to unlock the software upgrade code.

  • I have an ipod touch and the contacts icon is missing.  How can you add it to the home screen?

    I can't find the contacts icon... How can you add this to the home screen

    Every iPod touch has a contacts icon. It might be hiding. You can try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • Home screen not restored properly after backup

    I'm pretty sure I've gone about this the right way because in the past it has worked fine, but we've added a few more Apps to our devices and now the home screen layout doesn't get restored properly when using Apple Configurator (latest version).
    Supervised one iPad, installed Apps and arranged the home screen how we want it to be laid out.
    Made a backup of that Supervised iPad.
    Supervised the rest of the iPads and restored the backup we made of the one with the home screen arranged how we want it.
    Randomly some Apps that were placed in a folder appear not on the home screen I placed it on but on a screen one swipe to the right, another folder appears on a home screen another swipe to the right!
    The "Video" folder should be in the empty space in the bottom right of the first home screen.
    Previously, before we had the maximum number of icons on the home screen whenever I retored a backup to the devices they would be in the correct places, but not any more.
    Any ideas?

    Try this  - 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

  • How do I get the Photo icon back to my home screen?

    How do I get the Photo icon back to my home screen?  I don't know how I managed this - but my lovely 'happy' photo icon is gone from my home screen and I can only access it through the double click - I would like it back on the home screen...any ideas???

    You looked on every page & in every folder(if you have folders)? Still don't see it? If so: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout...see if you see it now.
