My Ipod 5 broke a while ago and I just managed to get a new one. However, when I tried to do a backup to configure it, a window popped up saying it wasn't possible because this devide's iOS version is too old for this backup... what do I do??

How can I do a backup now if I can't even access this new device to update its iOS version? And if I just select the option of configuring it as a new Ipod so I can update it, will it still be possible for me to download the previous device's backup on it later? I'd hate to lose everything.

That error message means that your new iPod is not fully updated. Update the new iPod and then restore from the backup of your old iPod.

When I tried to do so, my only option seemed to be Adobe Cloud. When I was asked for my LR serial number, it was not accepted. Please help me install these two products; I prefer stand-alone, rather than a monthly fee. Thank you

    If you can't update via wifi, you can use a friend's computer, or an Apple store will do it for you.
    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • I bought a $15 app GTA Vice City a while ago and I just started using it and it doesn't work. I checked all the requirements and my laptop meets all of them. I also have contacted Rockstar Games and they didn't help. Can I get my money back? Its annoying.

    Hi...
    Apple's policy states that, "all sales are final" >  iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    But since you are not getting any help from the developer, you can use the email form to contact Apple and ask for a refund >  Apple - Support - Mac App Store - Contact Support.
    No guarantees.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
    Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

  • Cpu is too old for this kernel

    I downloaded and burned Arch No Panic ISO before 5:00 am today, then I went to the train and started travelling to my parents, it took about 10 hours. Now I am in their house and I wanted to install brand fresh new Arch Linux on my old K6-2 500. All I saw (after many dots) was:
    cpu is too old for this kernel
    WHY????
    686 is not enough today? for installation?
    PS. could you recommend small distro with gcc and SDL and Mesa? Slackware? Ubuntu? OK, let's get serious, Slackware?

    I know k6-2 is an i586 family processor, but there are two problems, first the name, beacause of the 6 in k6, it can make suppose that k6 means i686. but the main problem is the fact that the official_Arch_Linux_Install_Guide at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Off … tall_Guide says something like this:
    Pre-Installation
    Arch Linux is optimized for the i686 processor and therefore will not run on any lower or incompatible generations of x86 CPUs (i386,i486,i586). A Pentium II or AMD K6-2 processor or higher is required. x86-64 architectures are also officially supported.
    "A Pentium II or AMD K6-2 processor or higher is required"
    now, there are two options: the official guide is wrong, or you would have to be able to install on a k6-2 microprocessor even if it is an i586 one. if is the secon opcion the question is "how?" because i thry to install arch on a k6-2 500mhz with the same result: "cpu is too old for this kernel"

    I recently had to send my old iPhone back and get a new one. When I did, I simply did a restore and backup with my computer. When I did that, my iMessage between my iPhone and iPad are no longer synced. No matter how many times I went to settings, messages and adjusted it, my iPad and iPhone recognize when I send a message out but not when I received a message from another IMessage user to my iPhone. My iPad simply doesn't get those messages. HELP!!!!

    If it's corrupt, generally it would be lost.
    However, there is third-party software out there that can retrieve some of the data, those of which however I could not recommend as I have never done so myself.
    Also, if the old 4S was running a more recent software version than the current 4S, that may cause the issue however usually iTunes tells you exactly that.
    Good luck in retrieving that information.

  • I signed out of an itunes account to a new one, however when trying to update apps it asks for the password for the old account, how do i get rid of this?

    I have an old iphone with old itunes accounts.  I have signed out of these in the settings tab and put in the new account, however when i go to the App store to update apps it comes up with the old account and there are no other options.  I cannot see this account anywhere else, does anyone have any suggestions?

    You can't.  Apps are forever tied to the AppleID that purchased them.  Delete the apps with the old AppleID and purchase them with the new AppleID.

  • I got a new computer and all applications were transferred to the new one. When I launch Acrobat 8 Professional, I get a warning that Acrobat cannot be launched now and that I need to launch another application e.g. Photoshop which is already launched. An

    I got a new computer and all applications were transferred from the old one. However, when I tried launching Acrobat 8 Professional, I get a message that says: "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be opened at this time and I need to launch another application in the suite e.g.Photoshop" which is already launched. Is there some help around this?

    It appears that you have the CS. What new OS do you have. If it is Win 8.1, you may have to purchase a new version of Acrobat for that system. Folks have succeeded with AA 8.1 on Win 7, but I have not heard of any successful installs on Win 8.1. As for the issue you have with the new OS, you do have to follow the CS install process that is different than the stand-alone Acrobat (there are some posts that discuss the process if you search).

  • My iphone is synced and backed up with another computer which is now broken... and i have synced it with a new one but when i want to do anything itunes says all data will be erased and replaced with the current itunes library?what do i do?

    my iphone is synced and backed up with another computer which is now broken...i have synced it with my new computer  but it hasnt transfered anything over to itunes and when i try to add anything to my iphone it says all data will be erased and replaced with the current itunes? i dont want to lose all my apps and music.... i dont know how to go around this problem? i want to back it all up and sync it properly to my new computer so that is now my main computer , so i can add ring tones and music etc with out it erasing everything ive got. any answers would be great and muchly appreciated. thanks, im not sure what operating system my iphone has either.....

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new one.
    It sounds like you have failed to do this, which is not good at all.
    You will have to transfer your itunes purchases from your iphone.  Authorize your computer for your itunes account 
    About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
    Open itunes, plug in iphone, do NOT sync, click File>Transfer Purchases
    When you do sync you will lose your pics ( photo library - synced from your old computer), your itunes content ( music, apps, videos,etc) , your contacts and your calendars.  So do NOT sync yet.  This is why a backup copy is so important.
    Enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer.
    When you first sync, you should get the option to merger the data.  Choose it.
    If you want your pics, then you will need to e-mail them to yourself before you sync.  They will not be of the original quality as they are reduced when synced to iphone.
    When all is as goos as it can be, then backup your computer, and always maintain the backup.

  • ITune version is too old for ipad restore and other prblem.

    Hi,
    1) I just got a replaced ipad from Apple store due to power problem.
    When I plug into my PC, I tried to restore it to my old ipad setting, but it said the ipad OS is too old (V3.2.2) for that.
    So I can only try to set it up as "New" and hope to update the OS after that.
    Is there a way to update the ipad OS without PC ?
    2) Even after picking as "New" ipad, the syncing and "backing up" seems to take very long and hanging without progress.
       and eventually, it say it failed and ask me to disconnect ipad and re-connect it again.
    After I re-connect it, it still noting happen and the system is not set.
    Dose any one any idea what may happen ?
    I have the latest iTune in PC.
    Thanks
    -David

  • My iPod went into recovery mode and I knew I had to restore it. However, when I plug it into the computer, nothing comes up on the iPod and my iTunes doesn't open. Except, when I plug my iPod into my wall charger, it lights up. What can I do to save it?

    For some reason, my iPod doesnt power up when I connect it to my computer, but it does if I plug it into my wall charger.
    I need to restore it as it went into recovery mode, what is it that doesn't allow it to connect to my computer and what can I do to fix it?

    You can re-download for free (As with the free music the bill just reads .00) .
    Try it with one and see for yourself.
    Oh yes, spare yourself future grief since this doesn't apply to music and video, get an external HD to back up iTunes and use it!
