  • My iPhone will not turn on, when I plug it into my computer and load up iTunes its in recovery mode and the only option is to restore my device to factory settings. I have no back up of my phone I've also tried the home/sleep button thing but nothing

    My iPhone 4 will not turn on, when I plug it into my computer and load up iTunes its in recovery mode and the only option is to restore my device to factory settings, I have no back up of my phone I've also tried the home/sleep button thing but nothing, I have literally done every method I was told, I checked for water damage and that's fine. I don't want to restore my phone or buy a new one or pay for repairs because that's wasting money when it could be a simple way to fix it. And yes, I've also tried charging it and turning it in. I really need some help with my phone

    That does happen.  It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system.  If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

  • HT1848 my ipod will not update.  I have plugged it into itunes and authorizing the computer but, it still says that all of the purchased product has not been transfered.

    my ipod will not update.  I have plugged it into itunes and authorizing the computer but, it still says that all of the purchased product has not been transfered.  It keeps telling me to authorize the computer which I have done.  The purchased items were purchased using an $10 gift card, would that have anything to do with it?
    Thanks,

    We won't know until you try the procedure.   The reset will not affect the content of the iPod.

  • My iPod shuffle will not turn on, nor is it recognized by the computer to pull up iTunes. I have order new USB cords and nothing. Please help!

    first: why did you download the iOS Beta 8? If you are a developer, go to the Apple Developers website and check what they can do for your case.
    second: setup an appointment to a Genius Bar for service.

  • Firefox 6 will not allow you to paste a cookie into the addressbar like all previous versions have. I use software to replace web chat and must do this and have been able to do it in all past versions. What's the deal?

    Thank you for your response.
    After searching around for any pointers to my problem, the above fixes I listed were the things that came closest to maybe addressing the issue, that I was able to locate. But since none worked, and as you pointed out, it is now clear they will only help towards viewing sent images rather than helping with inserting any images in the body of the email, which is the problem I suddenly started facing today.
    Coming to your suggestion, on opening the Write window, the Insert choice on the menu bar is indeed available. And I had already tried using that, by clicking on the '''Insert ----> Image''' option listed. That opens
    up the "Image Properties" box but using that has not resolved the matter either. It results in an image box getting inserted within the email but without the actual image itself.
    Plus, normally I am able to use the '''Paste''' function in the Edit menu or through right-click, but today the (Cut/Copy/Paste) functions have gone inactive, thereby disallowing me to use that to place an image within the email.

  • Hi, My iPhone will not start up . I plugged it into my iMac and it cannot find it .

    Hi , My Iphone will not start up. when I plug it into my Imac , it cannot find my phone ?

    Suggestions:  1. make sure you have the lates version of iTunes; 2. try resetting your iPhone before syncing (
    Hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds until the Apple logo appears;  when you see the Apple logo let go of both buttons and your iPhone will reboot); 3. try using a different cable.

  • HT204150 My contacts on my iphone haven't synchronised with my address book on my MAc. Have done every remedy listed and it still doesnt work. Any ideas?

    The way iCloud works is that it isn't actually 'syncing', though this is how it's often referred to. The data lives on the iCloud server and is read from there by the various devices (just like webmail). Therefore when you make a change on your iPhone you are actually changing the iCloud website (there is an internal procedure to allow you to make the changes while you are offline, and they are then changed on the site when you next connect).
    Therefore any device whose changes appear on the iCloud site, and who can read changes on the site made by other devices, is working: and any device whose changes do not appear, and which cannot receive changes made by other devices which have appeared on the site, is failing to connect. This appears to be the issue with your Mac.
    When this happens, sometimes signing out and in again resets the whole setup and corrects the problem. If another device such as your iPhone is connecting to the iCloud server correctly then nothing you do on it will affect your Mac. (In fact even if it isn't connecting it has no effect on your Mac, only on its own ability to transmit changes to the iCloud server).

    Hello Korawees,
    I was researching the issue you are describing and had a recommendation. The device is very simple, so the software troubleshooting for it is pretty limitted so I think you shoud restore the iPod shuffle and re sync the content. That way, if it is a software issue, this will fix it. Here is the article named Restoring iPod shuffle to factory settings found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1481.
    Before Starting
    It is important to understand the difference between "update" and "restore." Update does not affect your settings or songs, it simply installs updated software that controls iPod shuffle. Restore erases the disk and restores iPod shuffle to its original factory condition with updated software. If you only need to update iPod shuffle, this should be done on the computer where music is normally synced. Updating on another computer will result in all songs being removed from iPod shuffle.
    Warning: Because Restore erases all songs and files on iPod shuffle, make sure to back up any files you've saved on iPod shuffle. Your songs, podcasts, and audiobooks can be synced back to your iPod shuffle if the items are part of your iTunes library.
    How to restore iPod shuffle
    Ensure that you have an active Internet connection as new versions of iTunes and iPod Software may need to be downloaded to your computer.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if you do not already have it installed.
    Open iTunes, and then connect iPod shuffle to your computer.
    After a few moments, iPod shuffle will appear in the Devices section on the left side of the Tunes window.
    Select iPod shuffle under Devices and you will see information about it appear in the main iTunes window under the Summary tab/button for iPod shuffle (3rd and 4th generation) or the Settings tab/button for iPod shuffle (1st or 2nd generation).
    The Version section tells you whether iPod shuffle is up to date or needs a newer version of the software.
    Click the Restore button. You will be presented with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download the latest iPod Software. The 4-possible restore options are:
    Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
    Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
    Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software currently on your computer.
    Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores after downloading the latest iPod Software on your computer.
    If you are using a Mac, a message will appear prompting you to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress indicator will appear on the computer screen indicating that the restore process has started. Do not disconnect iPod shuffle during the restore process.
    After the restore process is complete, the iPod shuffle's status light will flash orange continuously. The iPod Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences as you did when you connected your iPod shuffle for the first time.
    When you come to step 7, I recommend Restore Option 4.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Ipod isnt locked but will not turn on even when i plug it into the computer

    I have a 5th generation ipod with video 30gb. It will not turn on. i made sure it was unlocked. I have tried plugging it into the computer. It will not even charge. Whats wrong with it? I havent used this ipod for a few years. I have no idea what operating system it is running on.

    Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the iPod On...

    You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    This will tell you how to restore
    iTunes: Backing up, updating or restoring iOS software
    If you cannot restore that way, you may have to use recovery mode
    iPad: Unable to update or restore
