I go to sync my Iphone 4 (IOS 5) with iTunes on my mac and is is stuck on step 8 "waiting to copy items" it has been like this for over an hour. What can i do to fix this problem????
If you are stuck at the blue screen then you can try booting into safe mode (hold shift during boot) and then run disk repair. If that still doesn't fix it then you might have to reinstall OS X. What version of OS X are you running?

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

I have been trying to log onto the Game Centre App to try and combine my son's Hay Day accounts (he somehow has 2 of them now although we used the same Apple ID when we set up his new iPad mini at Christmas). It keeps saying that we cannot access the server. Anyone else have this problem?
Also, why is it that when I set up his account on the new device it game me a different user name?You can try here:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
it could be a Apple problem since some other uses have reported the same problem today. -
HELP ME MY IPAD 2 IS NOT TURNING BACK ON
Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. (And there is no need to SHOUT.)

iCloud Backup shows this message
iphone is currently being restored and will automatically back up when it is done.
My iPhone has been showing this for a long time.
is this because my old phone is still Wifi active?
This is a new phone all contacts and other stuff seems to have downloaded.this has nothing to do with your old phone (connected to wifi or not). It has to do with your wifi and new iphone. check wifi connect/restart router. then restart iphone.

My iPhone 4 froze when I was using the Facebook app. The only thing moving is the indicator at the top spinning to show its "thinking." Its been like this for about an hour, I can't even turn it off. Any ideas (other than letting the battery go dead)?
Thank you, I've tried that but it won't work either, the logo never comes up. It just stays on the FB app screen. I tried connecting to iTunes to see if I can fix something from there and it freezes iTunes. Also tried disconnecting the wifi (I don't know how I thought that would help but worth a try) and plugging it into the charger but still nothing. I think I'll have to visit the store tomorrow. I appreciate it, though!

When I try to open iTunes app on iPhone 5, it starts to open then closes straight away, I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 and it has been like this since I upgraded!
I also had this problem. Go to settings> itunes & app store, tap on your apple ID and sign out. Then open itunes store. It should now open.
Then sign back in again and the problem should be resolved -
My screen is black on my iPhone with the little circle in the middle like it is powering down. It's been like this for over an hour! Help
Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. If it hasn't appeared after 30 seconds your phone is probably broken. If something other than an Apple logo appears see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.
