Try and force the iPad into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

  • Since updating Firefox what use to take me 30 minutes to do now takes almost 2 hours to do, it is slow and sluggish, what can I do to speed things up?

    Had no problem with Firefox, when I upgraded to Firefox4, things started to be extremely sluggish and slow. Tried to uninstall and reinstall Firefox, however, that really messed things up, could not start computer. After finally getting it to work again, things just work so slow and sluggish. What can I do to get it working as it did before?

    You can upgrade your iMac's memory to as much as 6 GB. I recommend you get all you can afford. The 1 GB you have is not an abundant amount.
    Purchase memory from Crucial or OWC / MacSales. Memory from other sources has been known to be unreliable. Installing it yourself is simple.
    I want to add an external hard drive to save my work, and plan to use Time Machine; I do have Firewire. However since my system is a 10.5.8, will everything still work after I upgrade the operating systems, and is there a best way to do that? I want to start with the right external hard drive.
    That's a good idea. All you need to do to make Time Machine work is to purchase an external hard disk drive and plug it in. Time Machine pretty much does the rest.
    FireWire is preferable but USB is OK. Find an external hard disk of at least twice the capacity as your existing internal hard disk. OWC sells a large variety of external HDs.
    Memory at 10 items 165.97GB available. What does this mean?
    That is not memory, it is the amount of available storage remaining on your iMac's hard disk. 166 GB is a lot.

    I am a bit of a computer/Internet/iTunes dummy....
    I am concerned about the health of my current computer but have not yet made the commitment to a new one, but:
    1) How can I transfer my iTunes account to a new computer when I get one...
    and
    2) What can I do if my current computer suddenly implodes and I have not yet 'copied/'saved'/otherwise protected my account, as is? -- I have already had my computer crash once and had one of your people help me restore all of the paid for songs (none of the uploaded from my own collection of CD songs, of course, so I had to spend a long time rebuilding that) -- and I believe I was told you could only help me recover that material one or two times altogether, no?
    WithOUT purchasing a Mach or iCloud (I actually think I have one of the later, but rarely have checked it) account, is there anything I can do to responsibly protect my account?
    Thanks for any time taken on this!!!

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

    I'm trying to play MIDI files in Quicktime. It works buy the volume is very low, even with both Quicktime and computer volume on max. What can I do?

    I'm having the same issue.  After opening Audio Midi Setup in Utilities I noticed that the master volume slider of the Built-In Output is very low.  I am not able to slide to get any more level out of the system.
    Can you adjust the master volume on your system?

  • My computer is slow and gets hot

    Computer is slow and gets hot. What could be the problem?

    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
    Boot into Safe Mode and do the following:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • HT1338 Why does mountain lion make my computer run slow and my Safari too?

    why does Mountain Lion make my computer run slow and my Safari too? Please help!

    The problem is probably not mountain lion. It works just fine on my computer. And a few million others.
    If your computer is having problems, you can try to fix it with some simple troubleshooting maneuvers.

  • My Macbook pro 2011 suddenly has a really slow bootup. What can I do?

    My Macbook pro 2011 suddenly has a really slow bootup. What can I do? I did install a cannon printer upgrade and security upgrade. Not sure if it was something to do with that. Also I tried the disk utility repair and didn't improve anything. I also reset PRAM and SMC.

    1. Try booting in e Verbose mode - press and hold [cmd] + [v] keys just right after the boot chord sounds till you get a black screen and white letters.
    if there are some delays in the boot process  -  you should see where the system is stuck.
    this mode is not permanent - the next [re-] boot will be normal.
    2. repair permissions. disk utility does fine. Disk Warrior is better.
    sometimes after half done updates (it may happen though should not) there are items that are "belonging to someone else"
    3. try  cache cleaner (or there are some other utilities as well - I just like SlCC  more)  http://www.northernsoftworks.com/snowleopardcachecleaner.html - it's shareware though the basic functionality is free for you to use.
    Try caches -> deep cleaning (please read the developers site what it does) and select checkmark at all options - reply yes to the requests and after a reboot the next reboot should be as it is intended.
    p.s be sure you do have backup

    if i used the same apple id and email to set up both my ipad and ipod what can i do to be able to use face time to call from one device to the other

    They can share an Apple ID, but each device must use a different email address when setting up FaceTime.  Create a gmail email (or hotmail, or ...) address and use that on one of the devices when you setup FaceTime.
    You don't actually have to use the 'new' email address, it is probably just used as an index to reference the correct device when initiating a call via the FaceTime server.
