    when i attach my iphone 4 with computer it shows one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it,now what can i do ..plz help me

    I would first try unplugging All the USB devices plugged into your computer, and then plug back in just the iPhone and see if that is recognized.  Also, do you have the latest version of iTunes for Windows installed on your PC, as you need to?
    Hope this helps

  • Time Machine does not recognize my password. Can I change or delete?

    Time Machine in my MacBook Air does not recognize my password. Can I change or delete?I'm connected to an auxiliary disc via a USB connection and power is present for both devices.  No Backup started after disc encryption and now the external disc drive can be used since the password I started with can not be used to unlock it.  Am I missing something or am I just out of luck with this external drive?

    I had already done this to no avail.  I'm wondering if I'm confusing the password to unlock the external device with the password to encrypt the disc used after it was connected to the MacBook.  If so, there is no way I can recall a password for a device I bought a decade ago (pre increased security about identity theft, etc.).  So maybe the answer is to secure a new device.

  • I dropped my iphone, it cracked (it alredy had some cracks in it) and the screen is black but sometimes has a background light.. When i plug it in to charge or to the computer it vibrates every 10 seconds and itunes does not recognize it. What can I do?

    I dropped my iphone 4 pretty hard, it cracked (although it already had a few cracks in it) and now the screen is black but sometimes has a background light turn on and then off. Holding the home button and off button at the same time do not work. When I plug it in to charge or to the computer it vibrates every 10 seconds and itunes does not seem to recognize it. It gets really really hot when plugged in (which I don't think is normal).  icloud does not recognize it under "find my iphone" either. What could the problem be? I am wondering if dropping it dislodged something inside. if so, what did I dislodge and is it possible to fix this myself?
    Thanks

    Sounds like that drop was a critical one, my friend. I would make an appointment at your nearest Apple Retail Store, because you're going to need a replacement. Also as a side note: the reason that the charger is making the phone vibrate over and over is because there is a disconnect somewhere in the charge port of the phone, causing it to plug in and out over and over.

  • Aperture imports the raw images from my new Olmpus e-p5 as .orf files and does not recognize them. What can I do?

    Is there another way to convert the .orf files that are not being recognized ?
    I used a card reader.
    The Olympus Viewer software reads the raw images just fine.
    Thanks

    I do not see your camera on the list of supported cameras, sorry.
         Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
    The Olympus Viewer software reads the raw images just fine.
    Does this program have an otion to export the photos in a different format? Then it would be the best way to convert the image files to a supported format.
    Or check, if Adobe's free DNG converter supports your camera:  Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh
    Aperture can import DNG files with the right settings.
    You might also simply import raw+jpeg and work with the jpegs as original files, while you are waiting for the raw support to be released.

  • ICal error:  Server does not recognize your password

    Today I opened iCal on my iMac and I get an immediate error message saying that the "server does not recognize my password for my user name and says to make sure that it's entered correctly." I went to MobileMe in System Settings and everything was OK. I was able to see it on the MobileMe website but it still gives me the error message when I open iCal.

    Today, I had this exact same issue. What helped was quitting iCal, deleting the cal.me.com password in keychain, starting iCal again, then entering it again in iCal preferences. It started syncing right after that.
    People who don't have the cal.me.com password should check their general mobile me settings.
    Ghostlarke: if you sync your calenders, you ARE using MobileMe.

  • I keep getting a popup error message in Ical "server does not recognize name/password

    I keep getting a popup error message in Ical "server does not recognize name/password"  This started after they did the change to Icloud and extended our subcriptions. 
    Tricia

    I guess that the server name is incorrect, then.
    Did it ever work?
    Delete the account, reboot the phone, then add it back and be sure you choose Yahoo as the mail server type. Everthing should then fill in automatically except your user name and password.

  • My imac does not recognize an external hard drive

    I have bought an USB external drive but my Imac does not recognize it,
    the external hard drive does not appear in the desktop neither disk utilities.
    characteristics of the disk
    toshiba, 1TB, USB 3.0
    thanks

    The problem is NOT the fact that it is a USB 3.0 drive, as USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0. The problem is specific to Toshiba Canvio portable drives. They only work if you use a micro-USB2 cable instead of the included USB 3.0 cable. This problem does NOT affect other USB 3.0 portable drives (Seagate, Western Digital, etc.), and they work fine with USB 3.0 cables.
    Once again, you need a micro-USB2 cable for the Toshiba to mount.
