    Seems like a hardware problem.  An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    You cannot delete the iCloud account that is signed on to Find My iPhone unless you know the password. This is called the Activation Lock:
    ACTIVATION LOCK
    It is an anti-theft security measure that is a part of iOS 7. You can only get around this by following the steps in this support article:
    Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    Contact your friend. This is the only way around the lock.

  • Have an iPhone 3GS, and it will not restore.  It says (-1) error and won't restore.  I updated to iOS 5.0.1, and have the latest version of iTunes.  Every time I plugged my phone in last week it would crash and I would have to connect it to iTunes.  Help!

    Last week I updated my iTunes, updated to iOS 5.0 and ever since I did this my phone has been going nuts.  Any time I plug it into a charger I get a screen that tells me I need to connect to iTunes.  I have had to restore it multiple times in order for it to work.
    I've tried doing resets, restoring to factory-everything that I can find online to do.  I've spoken with ATT tech support and done everything they've said to do regarding my greyed out wifi, my phone only working on 3G, and other issues. 
    The first iPhone 3GS I got had a defective camera, so ATT replaced it free of charge.  I've had this one for a year, and quite frankly cannot afford a new one. 
    If anyone knows anything I can do to fix it, I would really appreciate it. 

    11.1 is now the most recent  iTunes. Downloading it may take a bit since everyone got hit today with the need to update their iTunes on the very same day the iOS update came out and you have to update iTunes to update the iOS.
    YOu should still be able to charge it without updating iTunes.

  • TS4006 does icloud work on ipods that have been reset to the factory settings?

    my ipod has been stolen and i am wondering if the icloud app works while the ipod has been reset to the facory settings...

    If you are referring to the Find My iPhone service, then if a device has been reset, then no, it can no longer be tracked.

  • IPods crash and can't back up library - HELP

    I have had an iPod mini for 1.5 years. My spouse got an iPod (30GB video) recently. When we switch between them to update songs from one library, the iPods crash and have to be reset (even that takes a few tries following instructions on iPod help).
    I tried circumventing the problem by copying the library on my laptop from our PC (to have one iPod with one computer, both have XP Pro) with the USB drive but the library won't copy from USB drive to the new iTunes. (it will play songs from USB but won't copy them).
    1. Can I backup the library on another computer?
    2. What is the safest way to create a backup library (CDs in my experience may not last long)?
    3. If we update the computer (hopefully soon) will that mean that we can't copy the library to a new commputer and will lose all the songs we bought?
    4. How can we prevent either iPod from blocking or crashing?
    Thanks for any advice and help.

    Update: Success! I used my iPod as an external hard drive following these instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329?viewlocale=en_US
    After I reformatted I reinstalled my old iTunes 6 and dragged the folder back to My Music. At first, iTunes wuldn't sync a couple hundred songs to my iPod because I wasn't "authorized" so I had to enter my Apple ID and password. Downloaded latest software for Itunes and iPod and all is good.
    Investing in an external hard drive still sounds like a good idea, since this was my first reformat and it was a bit nerve-wracking.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • My ipod is dead.  I have tried resetting but to no avail.  I have attached to itunes and it sees that the ipod is bad, but it still can't seem to work.  How do I get it fixed?

    My ipod is dead.  I have tried resetting but to no avail. I have attached it to itunes and it sees the ipod is bad, but it still can't seem to work. How do I get it fixed?

    Its probably just as you said, it's dead. I mean the battery.
    I have a second generation iPod and the battery doesn't hold a charge long. So yours must be really struggling with the battery.
    You can send it off for a battery replacement, or as is expected due to the cost of doing that and with standard manipulative business thinking, you could just get a new iPod like a good little customer.

    Hi bodegakc,
    If you have the serial number then please use the below mentioned link to download the product you are looking for .
    CS5.5
    Also before installing Please go to Applications-->Utilities--> Adobe installers and if there is any uninstaller for CS5.5 , you can remove it and do a fresh install.
    You can also use creative cloud cleaner tool before installing.
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

    My iMac (2011) has been persistently throwing this error message: "SafariDAVClient quit unexpectedly." This started when I moved up to Mavericks, from Lion.

    That's related since the process is attempting to load your Safari bookmarks from iCloud, and is crashing for some reason.
    Try this:
    Select the entire line that follows (triple-click to select it), then control-click, and from the contextual menu that appears, select Services > Reveal in Finder:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iCloudHelper
    Drag that entire folder to the Desktop.
    Quit Safari.
    Attempt to open iCloud Preferences again. If it opens de-select Safari.
    Launch Safari again and determine if the problem is fixed.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
