My Apple TV is dead and is not even showing in iTunes. How can I restore it?
I have gone all the procedures with my four apple computers, being careful on the way of connecting the micro usb and power cables. My Apple TV is not showing anywhere, and all happened in a moment. Any one knows the most common cause of something like this?
Thanks for your attention.
My Apple TV was working fine but bricked with the latest upgrade.
I tried the simple solutions posted on the forum without success.
I then went out and purchased the suggested usb cable and spent considerable time attempting to upgrade with ITunes and still no success.
This evening I drove to the nearest Apple store and had them attempt to fix my Apple TV.
They also tried numerous methods but were not successful.
Apple's response was that my unit was out of warranty and I had to buy a replacement Apple TV at a cost of $59 plus tax. They kept my bricked unit.
I did reluctantly spend good money to resolve an issue that Apple caused.
What does this say about apple?
Do you really think automatic upgrades are a good idea?

Dear Support Team,
Every time i tried to logon Icloud its gives me wrong user name or password and at the end it show me error " This Apple ID is valid but is not an ICloud Account" then how can i use one account for same Apple ID and ICloud?
ThanksIt is not possible to create a new iCloud account using a Windows machine. You must create the account using a Mac (10.7.5 or more) or an IOS device (iPhone etc). Once that is done you can sign into and use the account on your Windows machine.

I am running Windows 7 and have tried to install iCloud. No matter what instructions I follow, I still get the error message "This Apple ID is valed but is not an iCloud account." How can I resolved this?
I've tried both. First, I tried on my pc, where iTunes had installed iCloud when it last updated. I have iTunes installed on this computer (and on my iPad and iPhone), but that wasn't the issue.
So I went online, thinking I needed a separate iCloud Apple ID, but it prompted me for my current Apple ID and gave me the message about my ID being "valid" but not an iCloud account," which, lol, was what it had asked me to do in order to create one. I checked, and at least one other user is having the same issue. I'll attempt to copy/paste the Support request url: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4430653?tstart=0
Thank you for any help you can give.

My wife spilled a gas of wine on her MacBook Air . Now it's completely dead, and doesn't even show it's being charged.... Any advice is welcome .
Liquids and electricity don't mix. Any hope of surviving a spill is based on immediately turning the device off, getting it as dry as possible, and then letting it have a lengthy drying period. Some people recommend putting it in rice to absorb moisture though I think that has its own danger. At this point your only solution is to take it to an Apple repair center and see what it will cost to replace the logic board - and to hope that was the only damage.
Sorry I couldn't provide better news. Check your home owners policy to see if this is covered (and if it is worth using). I have a specific rider on my policy for electronic equipment which includes full replacement value with no deductible. -

How can I get connected to Icloud?Hello pmarrone,
You may only sign up for an iCloud account via one of the following systems or devices.
You can sign up for iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or through System Preferences on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later. Just follow the setup instructions for your iOS device or Mac.

I have forgotten my password and have not backed my iphone up how can i get to my photos
I have forgotten my password and have not backed my iphone up how can i get to my photos.
If you have synced your phone with a computer connect to that computer and you can back it up without the passcode. If you have not synced to a computer there is no way to recover data without the passcode.

outlook closes and will not download a particular message.How can i get that message to stop coming to my inbox?
Hi,
May I ask your intention by doing this? Is the particular message harmful to your computer?
Which type of email account are you using? If you want to prevent a particular message from being downloaded to Outlook, we can login to the web interface of your email account and then remove the particular email from your Inbox.
If I've misunderstood something, please feel free to let me know.

Im trying to import a large amount of pictures to Iphoto. I have pleanty of space on my HD. But half way thru the transfer an error message comes up and says not enough disc space. How can I fix this?
I. I want to import 58.64 GB of Photos from an external HD
2. I have 278.28 GB space left on my HD
3. The exact error message goes like this......
Insufficient Disk Space
iPhoto cannot import your photos because
there is not enough free space on the
volume containing your iPhoto library
I Have researched this and most advice is to empty the iPhoto trash. I have already done this and it did not help.
Thank you for helping -
Please help! I just sync my notes to icloud of my ipad mini but after that all notes has been covered by iphone's and all notes are missing from iPad,how could i restore it?
It's very possible that you did just as you suspect. One of the later Note file over wrote the one stored on your iPad when you synced.
When one does a sync of their iPad a backup of the iPad is created first. If that backup was still available you might be able to find the Note file there. But more than likely, if you are letting the iPad and iPhones sync on their own over Wi-Fi you have over written that back up as well. -
Just downloaded iBooks on my iPad and its not accepting my security answers how can I change that
Just downloaded iBooks on my iPad and its not accepting my security answers how can I change that?
Delete the data for the guest network on the iPhone, iPad, etc.
Log on to the "Guest" network
On the home screen, tap Settings, tap Wireless, tap on the name of your wireless network, tap Forget This Network.
Now log onto the network that you want to use, and the iPhone / iPad will connect to that network automatically in the future. -
Having a bad day my iTunes library got corrupted and my back up disk has failed how can I restore my purchases from the iTunes store? When I try it tells me the pruchases have already been downloaded to this computer.
Does your purchased rmusic appears under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) ? If they do and you don't have the cloud symbol against them so as to re-download them, then do you still have the entries for them in your library i.e. where you would normally click on them to play them ? If you do then try deleting them from there (iTunes will be seeing them and assuming that you still have them somewhere) and they should then get the cloud symbol for re-downloading in the Purchased link.
If you aren't in a country where music can be re-downloaded then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, -
i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad? I have switched my iphone to airplane mode so it is not connected to the internet and so icloud can not wipe it at the moment.
thanks royThere's a menu choice (I think under "Files") that lets you sync purchased items on a device back to itunes. Look for that.
iCloud does not store music. If you want to do that you'd have to subscribe to itunes Match, but to get music to the match servers, you need the music in the itunes library on your computer. -
