Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

New to iCloud. I only bought the storage to stop getting not enough storage messages. Now I can't back up to iCloud. I get the message "you have not backed up this device in 14 weeks, your device needs to be connected to wifi, locked and plugged in" I connected to wifi and am sitting with my phone about 10" from my modem. I am plugged into my charger which is plugged into the wall. I created a passcode for my phone as I an guessing thats what locked means. However if I am locked I cannot get into the phone to see if it is backing up. So I ask it to back up then let it go off to lock, give it 5 or 10 min to back up and then get back into it only to find its still on estimating time remaining. It won't go any further then that.. What am I doing wrong??
This may not solve your problem but may clear up a couple of things.
1: Re the connected to wi-fi, plugged in and locked thing is for automatic backups. It doesn't need to be plugged in or locked for it to work when you go to Settings > iCloud > Backup and tap Back Up Now. Mine completes the backup quickly without being plugged in or locking (but I don't have a lot to backup).
2: Locked just means the lock screen is on (press the sleep/wake button on top) -- it will work without a passcode (& again, the lock screen on is only required for the automatic backup).
3: You can see what is using your storage and maybe reduce some of it so that you don't have to pay for storage. Instructions in Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support -
I have a new ipad and it has been doing great and I love it.

What have I done????? DahhhhPerform a Reset...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

I am trying to play videos from my iPad to my TV, but when I plug in my AV adapter to my iPad it says it has to download the firmware for the accsory. And it is supposidly already downloading when the message pops up I can never see any type of status bar or anything like that.
That appears to be a bug in iOS 8.2. Restoring your iPad to Factory settings has fixed it for those reporting the problem.

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My ipod touch is saying its disabled and to connect to itunes but when i do that it does nothing, what can i do to fix it??
If your iPod has been disabled due to multiple incorrect passcode attempts, restore the iPod from the computer to which the iPod is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPod into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

Help! What do I do if my IPad says that it cannot back up because my iCloud storage doesn't have enough room. It directs me to either "Cancel" or go to "Settings" but the screen is frozen and it won't let me do either. I have removed a lot of pictures and video that I had downloaded. Then tried to reconnect it to the computer to see if another attempt would prompt a back up with less need, but that did not help.
Does anyone have any quick fix ideas?
Thanks.Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

It appears that iTools has backed up on the iPad as well, I tried manage storage from settings but all storage settings are not enabled. I downloaded iTools on my PC and pressed the backup on iBooks in applications, it created a folder on my PC that iTunes on the PC cannot read. I stopped what was called backing up to local when I got a message from the iPad saying that storage was almost full.
So how do I 1- repair the iPad storage
2- backup the books in IBooks to my PC (they used to backup easily with iTunes but after the last update of iTunes they just would not)
ThanksNo, nothing at all happens. Once clicked the 'circle' that suggest it is loading appears (if that makes sense) but no, nothing
Many thanks.
Can you check something for me please?
Restart your PC. after the PC restarts, bring up your Task manager, and go to the "Processes" tab. Click "Image name" to sort the processes alphabetically.
Now try to launch iTunes.
Does an itunes.exe process appear? If so, does it vanish after a second or so, or does it persist in the Processes tab (even though iTunes itself never shows up)? -
I changed my server at the end of May & all worked well until the past week end since when I am getting a message saying that I cannot get email because the server will not connect - although it does. It also claims that it was last backed up on Friday last despite having had several emails since Friday. What has happened & can I get email back to normal?
Hello Stern snapper
If you are having issues with receiving email on your iPad, then check out the article below to troubleshoot the issue. You may just need to remove the email account and add it back in.

HT4623 My Ipad say that iOS 5.1.1 software is up to date. How do I update to iOS 7
How do I update my software to iOS 7 when my Ipad says that iOS 5.1.1 software is up to date?
If you have the original iPad 1, then iOS 5.1.1, is as high as you can go and that is the most up to date software that you can run.

I have the current version of itunes, but when I go to update my ipod, I am getting an error message that says that it could not back up because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPod. This is the first time trying to backup the iPod. I have authorized my computer. Still no luck.
Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and select the iPod backjp and click on delete and try again.

- Reboot the computer
- Try another cable
- Try another USB port -
I have the photographer plan With Photoshop and Lightroom. Now suddenly The creative cloud app says that Lightroom isn´t installed. It is and how do i fix this. I don´t want to loose any pictures. Tried logging in and out. Also restarted my Imac with no luck.
This has nothing to do with your pictures. As long as LR works, nothing happens. The CC app merely has lost an entry in the installer database. Would a reinstall fix it? Sure. Is it necessary? Not really (until the next version or update). So unless you have too much time to spend or something isn't working, I'm sure you can find more interesting things to do with your tiem. Otherwise use the cleaner tool and get to it:
