My iPod Classic says to Use iTunes to Restore but whenever I plug in my iPod into my computer, iTunes doesn't detect it and while it's plugged in and not connecting, it just says "Do not Disconnect" with a 'no' sign blinking. PLEASE HELP!!
I've already tried putting it into Disk Mode but nothing happens. Tried restarting computer and a new USB cord but still not working!
PLEASE HELP!
Already tried another USB port, still nothing.
I don't have another PC to check, I only have one which is the one not working with my iPod.
It appears under my Computer, just not under iTunes. Plus, the iPod classic troubleshooting assistant doesn't work because I can't restore since it can't come up onto my iTunes! Even my iPod says "Use iTunes to Restore" once in a while, but I plug it in & I'm not able to restore it since it won't come up under iTunes.
Please help

i have a mac os x snow leopard. my problem is that when i go to the ethernet settings it shows 'not connected'. i called the internet person even he couldn't fix it PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
System Preferences > Network > Ethernet? If that shows "not connected" that is all your Mac knows. As far as it is concerned there is no cable connected to the port on your Mac, or the other end of the cable is either disconnected or connected to something that is broken.
Try another cable. If the cable is broken you will also get that status message. If you have exhausted all of these possibilities, the only remaining cause is an inoperative port on your Mac. -

Help please. Anyone has a way of tracking my ipod touch 5 even offline. had all my 3000 pics from this vacation here in the US. I had some apps....anyone please. The Find my ipod is notable to lock or locate because is offline....HELP PLEASE I will take any advice... It was stolen in a McDonalds that had wireless but was not connected...
I'm an plug and play, aka, intuative Apple OS "cooler", or a guy that has been most likely to "tilt" even the most bug free Apple software and maybe even hardware, and unqualified to give advice, except for the fact that I had my iPad and then my iPhone boosted a year ago. May I ask, did you ever log in to your app; "Find my iPhone" and go through the registration process? If you did, you would have had to have registered it into "mobileme" or the ancestor of mm, the name escapes me, or you would have had to "iCloud it", the implications of which, I'm just barely scratching the surface (<--ADHD) but that's the kind of thing I would have, and did do, even though I didn't have a clue, what it was for, or understand how to incorperate it into my resources at the time, I'm just a "register here" factory, that registers first and askes questions later. If you did this, I suspect you may have a reason to hope a a GPS kite string that millions of theft targets like us are longing to see, return your device, for Christ Sakes! i do know that, if you did you, can access the signal blip, location from any smart device, with internet access and your log in/password, that you will need to remember, track down, or if all else fails, ask Support to assist, by in my case jogging my memory, until it came to my low watt brain, the log in id, I had used.
Boy what a lot of blather, hope it was helpful, somehow, my point was that Cloud is the modern MobileMe, and it's prediscessor. Mozl Tov! -
I would love to post this question to the Nintendo Support forums, but I'm abroad right now and it seems I am denied from the forums if I try to log in.
My Nintendo 3DS's internet features all work perfectly fine except when it comes down to directly playing a match with other users. For example, Mario Kart 7 will download Spot pass data like normal every day, but everytime I tray to play a match online, the software gives me an error. Same thing when I try to connect with people on Animal Crossing: New Leaf. My previous linksys router back in the states worked fine. The security was WEP I remember. Now I've got myself an Airport express and neither it nor my Macbook Pro (when sharing is turned on) will permit me direct online access to other users like I stated above. I even disabled security and went with an open network for a few minutes and was faced with the same exact problem.
I know this is very specific and mainly involves a none apple product, but I'm just curious what is different about the Apple wireless networks I'm setting up that is preventing me from nothing but direct realtime interactions with other users.
Any advice or knowledge about Apple security or wireless networks would really help me out. There are only so many settings I can tweak in the Airport Express so I'm sure it can't be too difficult, but I don't even know where to start.I guess it's a problem with NAT (Network Address Translation). My ISP is Vectant Ltd. so maybe I should get a hold of them. If anyone has any work arounds that maybe they used with other game consoles (Xbox Live, PSN), I could really use the suggestion. I really like the Airport express and assumed it would be compatible, but I guess not.

An old MacBook Air, on start up just have a grey screen with a spinning wheel? please help
I have a mac book air. On start up I get just a grey screen with a spinning wheel. This lasts for about 15 minutes then I have just a deep blue screen. can anyone help please?
You should find the USB stick that shipped with your MBA and hold the Option key while rebooting. This will allow you to boot up and try doing a Repair Disk. If yours is an early model with a HDD your drive may have died. You can get a repalcement drive from OWC. They are pretty easy to install and the tools come with the kit.

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing iTunes and my pc still will not connect with the iTunes Store. I have tried just about every suggestion on the web to no avail, please help.
When I click on the store it just never opens, I do not receive any message. I try to "refresh the page" and nothing. While having the store selected I go to "help" and check for updates and i get a message; "The iTunes updatte server could not be contacted" and it prompts me to check my internet connection which is fine. None of the items under the "Store" respond with anything.
I ran a iTunes Diagnostics/ Under "Which Tests do you want to run" I check only "Network Connections" and the results that I receive is...
Network connectivity:
Network interfaces, verified
iTunes Store connectivity:
Internet connection, verified
Secure link to iTunes Store, FAILED

When i plug my 3rd generation ipod touch into my computer, itunes doesn't notice it, and the computer says it is just a digital camera. i can only see the images on it. Can anyone help?
Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

I have an iPod classic that syncs my entire library, I'd like to buy a smaller iPod, maybe a Nano for the gym. Would I need a 2nd iTunes library? Is that possibly, I mean for one person to have 2 iTune librarys/accounts?

In other words, no. You don't need another iTunes Library for your new iPod
Another iTunes Library, that's only if someone elses music is mixed in with yours and you want to create another Windows user account with their music in it.
The iTunes Library is the master vault containing all your content, from there you create playlists or smart playlists specially tailored for the smaller iPod's storage requirements.
For instance if the iPod can hold only 2,000 songs, then you create a smart playlist based upon those rules/limitation. Plus what type of music you like.
You have a incredible degree of control with smart playlists, they update automatically so you only set the conditions for what goes into them. Including content from other created playlists and smart playlists.
Then, when you hook up the smaller iPod, it has it's own sync options, "all of your music and playlists" or "only select playlists" So you use the second option to select just the smart playlist you tailored for the new iPod.
When you hook up the iPod Classic, only it's sync options are used, not the new iPod ones.
I hope I explained it better this time. -

I can connect my iPhone to my work wifi but when I try to connect my IPad it will not connect. It says safari can not open page. What's up with that I have used IPad connected to work wifi before

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

My IPOD Classic Video 5. Gen. showed videos, but now it does no longer show them, instead i see a black picture on my IPOD and it doesn`t work. I have to restart it every time, i try it. i restore the software with itunes, but the problem still exists.
The Videos are showed up front 4 months, but now they are no longer to be seen. When you star a video first the hard drive starts, but then it stops and hangs up. I have to restart it, starting with the apple logo....Here is what worked for me:

IPhoto is cropping images I want to print
I am trying to print multiple (4) of same photos to a page--IPhoto feels it must crop the photo, rather than scaling the whole picture down to the smaller size. IMHO, the print functionality of IPhoto is not very flexible, and in no way intuitive. Th
