  • My Ipad seems to be locked, it says it has not made an updtae with Icloud in two weeks, an needs to be charged, have wifi and be locked. I have arranges all this but it is still "locked" and i can´t do anything, not even turn it off..

    My Ipad is locked and I can´t do anything it says it must sync with Icloud but does not seems to do this know even if It is connected to wifi, charged and is locked. I can´t do anything right now...

    In order to backup to iCloud the iPad must be plugged into a power source, connected to WiFi and locked - meaning that it must be asleep - or with the lock screen only visible. This is for automatic backups.
    If the iPad is not responding at all to any user input, try restarting it or resetting it and see if you can take the steps necessary to back up. You can initiate the backup manually as well.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • My laptop has crashed and I can't sync my iPad air. I have tried to back up off I cloud but it hasn't transferred all of my photos or music. Is there anyway I can access my iTunes account any other way?

    My laptop has crashed and I can't sync my iPad air. I have tried to back up off I cloud but it hasn't transferred all of my photos or music. Is there anyway I can access my iTunes account any other way?

    Your iTunes account won't include your non-iTunes purchased e.g. music copied from CDs etc, nor photos that were synced from a computer.
    To get non-iTunes music you will have to go via a computer. If you don't have that music on, for example, an external drive, then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back from a device : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer then there are apps such as Simple Transfer which can copy them between devices and/or to a computer (though photos are 'optimised' as part of the syncing process, so if you do copy them back to a computer then they might not be the same as they were on your laptop).
    There is also this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • My iPhone 3Gs has frozen and I can't do anything except turn it off by hard boot. When I plug it in, I have the apple icon and that is all. It was at 43 percent battery life when it happened and my Twitter app was giving me problems. Thoughts?

    Put it in recovery mode and restore it as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

  • My ipod has crashed and is not being recognised on the computerr

    I turned the computer on with my ipod connected and went to Itunes,.  Then it asked if i wanted to update Ipod, it was a recodnised update to i continued. Then it started to sync,.  It fiished synching it, after which the ipod crashed and a picture of a apple and a bar underneath appeared.  It wont turn off and the computer now does not recognise the  ipod after it is connected back to the computer. 
    Thanks

    you want to put the device in recovery mode to restore
    Connect your USB cable to your computer but not to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until step 3.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button down, connect the USB cable to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen. When this screen appears, you can release the Home button:
    Note: If the image of a battery appears, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again. If you don't see the Connect to iTunes screen, try these steps 1 through 4 again.
    iTunes should automatically open and display the following message:
    "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."Note: If iTunes not open after two minutes, please open iTunes yourself.
    Use iTunes to restore the device.

  • TS3694 I installed itunes onto my desktop but it would not recognise my device & eventually crashed the desktop. I tried my laptop & I got the 3014 error but the ipod has crashed and only shows a USB pic & itunes logo.

    Hi, I opened my new ipod 4th generation and had a play with it to initially find & install the amazon audible which I had been told was easy. Anyway I did it so I thought I would have a play with itunes. It regognized all my tracks and I managed to buy an album which I could not find in 'music'. I had to play each tarck, one at at time while they were recognised in history.
    While on my laptop I tried to install my tracks but nothing happaened. I was asked to update which I did & then my ipod locked. I've turned it off but when I switch it back on iget a picture of a USB cable pointing to itunes. Logically I thought thaht meant connect to itunes, itunes woud not recognise it and gave a 3014 error.
    I have a brand new ipod that is useless, i Feel useless like I am doing somthing wrong. Strange thing is I upgraded from a Philipps GoGear Connect which has bad reviews but at least I could listen to my music, play games and use audible.
    Has anyone got any ideas. It was purchased through Amazon/

  • CreativeCloud download manager has dissapeared and I can't install anything nomore

    My Creative Cloud Download Manager updated itself to the new layout but the next time I turned on my computer it was gone and I can't find it on my computer.
    One day a notification turned up to say that there was two new downloads but after I downloaded them the program disapeared again and has never showed up again.
    I've tried to download it again from Adobe's website and it downloads for a long time but then a message pops up that says that "The following problem has ouccurd: Creative Cloud for desktop couldn't be installed." and the only option I get is to cancel. There have been times when I got a message that says that I need the admin rights, I have them since it's my own homecomputer, but it never asks for the admin rights, it just says that I need them and then it won't work.
    I've also tried to download other programs from Adobe's website but that doesn't work either. I get a message that says "Google Chrome needs to start an extern program to handle the aam:-links. ..." I press Start program but then nothing happens.
    I need help with this asap!
    Thank you!

    Now I've also tried to download the applicationmanager this way :
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4773&fileID=4437
    And it downloaded and installed but when I tried to open the program I got a message that said " Adobe Creative Cloud is needed to resolve this problem. However, it is missing or damaged. Please download and install a new copy of Adobe Creative Cloud from
    'http://www.adobe.com/go/adobecreativecloudapp' "
    Wich I tried like a hundred times...

  • My ipod keeps restarting and i can't find anything online to fix it.

    I was using my ipod touch 4g today and it was being slow and freezing a little, so restarted it.  That usually works but this time for some reason my ipod didnt get past the apple logo and it just keeps restarting.Anything i can do? I've seen people fix it on youtube, but they all require the use of the home button, and mine is broken.  Is there any other way to fix it?  And if not, will apple replace it? It's not jailbroken or anything.  Thanks and advance.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use one of these programs:
    For PC
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    For MAC or PC       
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    - 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 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.

  • When I go into any app that requires me to use the key board I instantly go back to the home page and can't access anything (not even settings)

    When ever I go into an application that requires me to use the key board the app just closes down and takes me back to the home page.  I can't even get into settings.  Also if I bring up the key pad it just sticks after I press a couple of keys?  Help?  I can't get into fb/pages anything!

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps...  Perform a Reset... Try again...

  • My hdd has crashed in 3 months, my computer is not even 12 months old.

    i have a too twice reload the software and i do have a time machine , but it doesnt all load correctly. im a avid Apple fan, but this experience is really giving me the *****.

    Before your free, one-year of AppleCare warranty service expires, budget,   purchase, and register with Apple for extended AppleCare warranty  for your Mac.
    You'll have extended warranty service for another two more years.
    The cost of the extended warranty is a smaller cost than the cost of an actual repair and replacement job if some other hardware or same hardware fails again on your Mac.

  • Why does my iPod keep crashing and get stuck on the apple screen?

    My iPod has crashed and gotten stuck on the apple screen multiple times now, I think three or four times. I take really good care of it and charge it alot. It's a generation 5 32 gig, but I have no idea how to fix it! I really want to save my pictures and contacts and whatnot so it is really annoying when it happens!!! Any help would be considered! Thankyou for any input!
