I am confused. You said till you Erases all contents and setting yu could not turn it and iTunes did not see it. How could you Erase all Contents and Setting if you could not turn it on?

My mail is stuck, and the computer will not shut down. What should i do?

My mail is stuck, and the computer will not shut down and the Mail is not responding. What should i do?

Hi Clinton,
This happens to all the time and this is what I normally do. (Press and hold the pwer button until the computer shuts down) but, this doesn't seem to answer the real issue. Its just like you cut of the power to shut it down.
Kind Regards

What does "java not detected" mean and what should I do about it?

I am a teacher who teaches partly online. While trying to use Screen Recorder in Kaltura Media Space to record my desktop with audio voiceover, I encountered this message in red and was not able to use this device? I am not sure what the message means or how to fix this. I am using MacOS 10.9.1 and Safari. MediaSpace is provided by our school system, so I am not able to use my iPad to do this.

Do you have a Java Preference Pane in System Preferences? if not, Java isn't installed and from your description, it sounds like it may be required. You can also try running this Java Test.

My iCloud library is showing up on one computer but not the other. What should I do?

I have an old acount that I want music off of but my iCloud account only shows up on my computer that is already registered to a apple account. PLEASE HELP!!!!

It could be a firewall issue. Try disabling the firewall and see if that helps.

When I go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. When I enter my ID and password it does not save or link to account.
When fist setting up your new iphone you will be asked to log in with an apple id and password. If this did not happen you can then do as you suggested going to settings to itunes and app store and add your apple id login. This apple id login must have already been created for the iphone to accept it. If this apple id is already created but is not being accepted by your iphone you then should shut down your iphone and restart the device.
Good luck.

After I updated to iOS 5, my computer does not detect my iPhone 4. Not only that, all my backed up data was erased. =/ I cannot even sync my iPhone if it is not detected. What can I do?

After I updated to iOS 5, my computer does not detect my iPhone 4. Not only that, all my backed up data was erased. =/ I cannot even sync my iPhone if it is not detected. What can I do? The USB ports are working. It is fully charged. I have restarted the phone and computer various times. But nothing works.

There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's. Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

You do realize that the message means that you need to download iTunes on the computer and not on the iPad - correct? I just want to make sure that you know that.
If that is the problem, go here to download iTunes.

I tried to restored my iPad1's iOS5 to factory setting. There are error messages. Now my iTunes could not detect my iPad anymore. How can I proceed from here?

Hi All,
I have problems with iOS5 installed on my iPad1.
After successfully installing the new iOS5, my iPad1 apps are jumbled up with my wife's apps. Some of my paid apps are missing.
So, i tried to restore to factory default. Now, my iTunes could not detect my iPad, and my iPad only shows the picture "to connect iPad to iTunes".
I restarted my iMac and checked that all softwares are up to date.
Please advise.
Many thanks.

If you restored from a backup, you simply restored the corrupt files again.
You could find the corrupt file through a slow process of eliminating apps and data - removing all content - and then syncing content back again - slowly adding apps back on - until the problem surfaces again - and the you could pin down the last apps or apps that you just added as being the problem apps/files. You may find the corrupt file - and you may not.
Your backups can be deleted by going to iTunes on you computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. You will see your backups/backups in that window. Click on the backup and then click on delete backup - if that is what you really want to do.

My ipad 3 froze and now is not turning back on what should i do?

my ipad 3 froze and now is not turning back on what should i do?

Hi,
I have the same problem. My Ipad 3 was a bit slow/unresponsive, and then it just went blank. I pressed the home button to see if it would come back on, and it was extremely slow, but it did show me the home screen. However, then it went off and wont come back on at all now. I have tried charging, tried the reboot, connected to itunes (which cannot detect the ipad) and nothing is working.
The ipad is only 2 months old, and no damage!
Any suggestions? Thanks

Hello there, Archietech.
The following Knowledge Base article offers some great steps for troubleshooting issues with an iOS Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X - Apple Support
Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
If you haven't connected your iOS device to this computer before, unlock the device and tap Trust. Learn more about the Trust This Computer alert.
Restart your iOS device.
Restart your Mac.
Make sure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Install software updates on your Mac.
If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.
Check USB connections. iOS devices need USB 2.0 to work properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, check the computer's specifications.
Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
Try another USB cable.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Hello,
It isn't the fw in Network you want o use or look at, that's for something completely different.
My first suspect is the Power Adapter on the LaCie has gone.
At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware>Firewire, what is listed there?
Reset the Firewire bus
If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device. A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
1. Shut the machine down.
2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
3. leave it for 10 minutes.
4. Connect back up and reboot.

TS2776 I recently bought iPad 3 but iTunes on my Win XP laptop is not detecting the iPad and i am not able to transfer music to it.

I recently bought iPad 3 but iTunes on my Win XP laptop is not detecting the iPad and i am not able to transfer music to it. I tried again after downloading iTunes 10.6.1.7 and it said it's not compatible with the XP version.

I would recommend you try downloading iTunes for Windows 10.6.1 from this website for your XP based computer:

Computer is not detecting iPhone 5. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. Still nothing.

Please help! My computer will not detect my iPhone nor will iTunes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and still nothing. I did notice that under device manager there is no apple mobile device folder. I don't know what to do from here. Please help!

http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538 Start on number five. If you are using a windows computer, you will most likely have to update the "USB device Driver" then iTunes will recognize your device.

IPad2 won't sync with iMac...only my iphone4 shows in the device window on my iMac. For some reason it will not detect my iPad via my wireless network!

iPad2 won't sync with iMac and only my iphone4 shows in the devices window on my iMac. For some reason it will not detect my iPad via my wireless network! The iPad will sync when plugged into the Mac however looses connection and disappears from the device window when unplugged.

You already have a wireless router or have just bought one, or do you have an ad hoc connection from iMac to AppleTV?
If things worked in the other location this all point to poor network performance/connectivity. It may be the connection is intermittently lost - small files transfer ok, but interruptions during longer transfers scupper the process.
Interference from cordless phone bases or microwaves (and neighbours devices) might also cause connectivity issues.
Signal strength bars are often not that useful, but will indicate connection to the main wireless device they connect to - so AppleTv may have a good connection to the router but a poor iMac connection to router is not displayed by AppleTV which only shows the connection to the first device in the chain.
You could consider some home mains newtorking plugs such as those made by Devolo but they usually have to be on the same mains ring.
