My ipad won't show up in the device window in itunes, when I plug it in it opens iphoto but won't do anything after that...I've tried restarting both my computer and my ipad and checked for updates...but nada

It's really annoying because i have a lot of things I want to put onto it but icloud isn't working either....

  • Why is Firefox connecting to the Internet and installing updates when I have checked the option to "Check for updates, but let me choose where to install"?

    Firefox is connecting to the Internet by itself (i.e., I have not opened the browser) and then installing updates (e.g., Firefox 28 today) even though I have checked the option under Advanced to "Check for updates, but let me choose where to install." I am using Windows 7 on an HP EliteBook behind my company's firewall.

    Reset your firefox and try once again!!!
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

    Do your images show, if you disable the option "Do not import duplicates"? If yes, then check, if the images have already been imported, eg. using Photo Stream, if you are using Aperture 3.3 or later.

    I have a problem with my iPhone 5 stopped working the sleep / power and simultaneously refused to obey the HOME button. I can not use either one or the other. I can not enable or disable the device, display lights up when you plug the charger. same display works fine as it is surprising. or maybe someone knows what is the reason for this? is there any way to solve this problem?

    More than likely its a hardware issue, I have never encountered such a problem and best bet is to just go get it replaced. If you have insurance on your device apple will replace it as long as there was no water damage, if you dont have insurance they will charge $200 more or less. Hope you get it fixed

  • Itunes doesn't show all of the music on my ipod when I plug it in??

    This all happened since I downloaded itunes 10.5 and ios 5:
    itunes only shows some of the music on my ipod when I plug it in, (and click music on the left underneath 'Ellie's iPod' like normal), I've tried everything I can think of, and it's still only showing some songs, (always the same ones). also, if I edit an album cover or something in itunes, the change doesn't come up on my ipod either, so I can't edit songs in any way; it's driving me insane! I tried making a playlist on my ipod of all the songs that don't appear when I plug it in, and when it came up on itunes only one song was in it, and it wasn't even a song i'd put in the playlist.. (to make the playlist come up I synced my apps - when I checked the playlist on my ipod afterwards, this one song was there too).
    My itunes library doesn't have the same songs as on my ipod, so I can't just sync that to my ipod as I'll lose a load of songs, (and gain some ones that I don't want), I don't know what to do; I tried repairing itunes, and i've tried all the basic things like restarting my computer etc. I haven't tried unistalling and reinstalling yet, but I'm a bit hesitant to do that.
    If I go to the itunes store, the songs that I've purchased and that are appearing in itunes are greyed out like they should be, but the songs i've purchased that are on my ipod but aren't appearing in itunes are not greyed out, as if i haven't bought them, (yet they do show up in 'purchased' in the itunes store on my ipod..).
    It's all very confusing and hard to explain, but long story short, not all the songs on my ipod are appearing in itunes when I plug my ipod in, and I can't edit the ones that do.

    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.

  • Can I maually check for updates but prevent them from being automatically installed if it turns out one is available?

    Can I maually check for updates but prevent them from being automatically installed if it turns out one is available?
    Background:
    In options I have "check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them" ticked. This works fine, in that I periodically receive a notice of an available update, and it will ask me whether I want to I want to install it.
    But there are certain times -- for reasons I won't go into here (unless requested as part of seeking a solution) -- where I want to manually check for new versions, but RETAIN the ability to decide whether or not to install it. But if I click Help/About Firefox/Check for Updates, and it finds an update, it will immediately proceed to install it without asking for permission. While that seems quite inconsistent with my update preferences in Options, it is apparently normal behavior as described in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-version#w_how-do-i-manually-check-for-updates.
    So is there any way I can manually check for new-update availability but then refuse the update if I so choose? Once an unwanted install begins, I'm concerned that if I click cancel I could end up with a partial installation or some "messed up," duplicated or corrupted FF files (e.g., multiple versions appended with (1), (2) etc, similar to what sometimes confusingly happens when I do an XP System Restore).
    Thanks.

    I think what needs to be made very clear here is that when a user clicks on "check for updates" the software should bloody well CHECK for updates and most certainly SHOULD NOT proceed to download and apply any updates. this is misleading and intrusive.
    I just wanted to check if there was an updated version but I DID NOT want to actually update at that moment. the software downloaded data, costing me money and tried to apply the update which could have potentially messed up my settings if I had not checked everything was ok first.
    I actually discovered how to prevent the update by searching through windows and manually deleting the files but why should anyone have to go to such lengths?
    the software should simply do as it is asked, not do things that have most certainly not been asked.

  • HT204266 Trying to check for updates but when I hit updates I keep getting the message  cannot connect to iTunes. I'm signed in in my settings so not sure what else to do?

    I'm trying to connect to the app store to check for updates but when I go to the update tab I keep getting the message cannot connect to iTunes store. I am signed into iTunes in my settings so not sure what to do!

    You should not get that message if you are simply trying to load the shuffle with songs from your iTunes library.  If iTunes is trying to Update or Restore the shuffle, and you get that message, try the suggestions in this article

  • Why is my iPad is not showing up in the Devices list in iBook Author?

    Why is my iPad not showing up in the Devices list in iBook Author? iBook ver is up to date. iTunes sees the iPad. What gives...
    Message was edited by: drydruid

    OK, the problem is partly solved. iBooks Author is not 'smart' enough to realize the iPad had been plugged-in and iBook on if all that happens after iBooks Author is already started. On the off chance that that was the problem I Quit iBA, made sure the iPad was connected and iBook was on then restarted iBA. Sure enough, there it was.
    I really like Mac's but sometimes they're not as smart as they think they are.

  • HT4623 My iPad is operating on ios 5.1.1 and will not support certain apps which I want to download.  I have checked for updates but it says that I have no updates

    My iPad is operating on iOS 5.1.1 and will not support certain apps which I want to download as they say I require at least iOS 6.  I have checked my updates and this says that I have the correct settings

    Correct, the iPad 1 can not be upgraded beyond 5.1.1.

  • I have Firefox set to check for updates but do not install, just notify. WHen I start Yahoo email, F automatically downloads and updates anyway.

    I have FF set to check for but do not install updates. When I start yahoo email, FF automatically instals updates. I am only user/administartor. How do I make this stop? It is messing up other programs - destroyed my Norton security.

    Usually, the "notify" setting works fine. I don't know whether having Yahoo as the home page makes a difference. ??
    Updates are available for your Norton add-ons. Please see this article: [http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Toolbar-Norton-Identity/Firefox-15-Support-for-Norton-Toolbar/td-p/791174 Firefox 15 Support for Norton Toolbar - Norton Community].
    (Firefox probably can't find those automatically because the updates arrive through Norton LiveUpdate instead of the Mozilla add-ons site.)

  • Updating my i tunes on my Mac , checke for updates but couldnt connect to i tunes server ? Internet working fine ? Any ideas

    Just updating my Mac with latest itunes , but it says check your connection to internet as cannot connect with itunes server ? Any ideas

    What modem and what kind of service do you have, ie cable??
    Some modems are not playing nice with the TC.. the Motorola in particular.
    What model TC do you have?
    What firmware is it running??
    Firmware matters in some cases. The problem is more on the later firmware.. so 7.6.3 or 4 mostly with Gen1-4.. or any firmware on a gen5.
    Reset for the models is slightly different although all can be done like this.
    Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
    Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
    Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
    Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
    Note..
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
