  • Ipod Nano icon not showing in  itunes and I've tried everything suggested

    My ipod nano is not showing in itunes and I've tried everything that has been suggested by Apple.  I updated iTunes, I've reset the ipod.  I just want to download my songs!  Help! Please and Thank you.

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • HT4836 When I open launchpad it freezes everything! I had to restart my computer all over again. What should be the best solution? There are plenty of the same apps.

    When I open launchpad it freezes everything. I had to restart my computer all over again. When I click apps it won't open. There are lots of things with the same icon.

    You can find the serial number either in About this Mc in the Menu bar under the , or it should be on a sticker under the foot of the machine.
    If you have the install discs, try booting from them, holding down the c key and then using Disk Utility to check the drive. 
    You can also boot into Safe mode
    To start up into Safe Mode (to "Safe Boot"), do this:
       1. Be sure the computer is shut down.
       2. Press the power button.
       3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
          Tip: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
       4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    During the startup in Mac OS X 10.2 through 10.3.9, you will see "Safe Boot" on the Mac OS X startup screen.
    During the startup in Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login window, which appears even if you normally log in automatically.
    Please post back with results,
    To leave Safe Mode in any version of Mac OS X, restart the computer normally, without holding any keys during startup.

  • My iPHONE 5 wifi is NOT working when am 3 feet away from router while my iPhone 4s has full signal all the time.Please help.

    My iPHONE 5 wifi is NOT working when am 3 feet away from router while my iPhone 4s has full signal all the time.Please help.

    The problem would seem to be in the firewall in your router.  Have you tried disabling it? I assume you've updated the router firmware, right?  Consider bypassing the ISP provided router (using it as a modem only) and unsing another device such as an Aiport Express.

  • Hello guys i face a problem when i upgrade from iOS 4.2.1 to iOS 5.1.1  .when i upgrade i don' t found the camera app from the built in apps.when i try to install from the app store i don't  found the correct camera app .please help me .

    hello guys i face a problem when i upgrade from iOS 4.2.1 to iOS 5.1.1 on ipad 3 .when i upgrade i don' t found the camera app from the built in apps.when i try to install from the app store i don't  found the correct camera app .please help me .please give any suitable link where i find the correct camera app

    It's a built-in app, so it can't be deleted nor downloaded from the store. If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Camera being set 'off' ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • When i open iphoto i see my photo's for 1 second and then they are gone .The photo's are still there but i can see them only on the bottom or top of my screen when i try to open them i get a sign that it is not possible.Can somebody please  help me?

    Have you upgraded to iPhoto 9.6 for compatibility with Yosemite? If not, try that first.
    It looks like iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnails and the original image files.
    This can be caused by a corrupted iPhoto library, or the originals have been deleted or moved.
    Try first to rebuild your iPhoto Library:
    If you do not have a current backup of the iPhoto library, make a copy of the library, but do not overwrite any previous backup.
    Launch iPhoto with the ⌥⌘-key combination (option-command) held down.
    Select "rebuild" from the first aid panel.  This may take a while for a large library.
    Can you now see your photos again?
    If not, rebuild the library with iPhoto Library manager as described by Old Toad:            Re: iphoto crashed

  • IPod Nano won't sync after iTunes update to 11

    My 5th Generation iPod Nano will not sync to iTunes 11. I am running iTunes 11.0.1, on an one year old iMac running on an Intel Core i5, running MacOS X 10.8.2 with 4 GB of memory. Now that we got that out of the way-- I use this iPod daily. Once I updated to iTunes 11, synching has been sporatic. Once I plug the iPod in, iTunes opens like it should, however the iPod never appears in the iTunes window, only in the Finder. I have done the following:
    ejected the iPod from the Finder window and then unplugged it, and reattached the iPod.
    Quit iTunes and restarted, reStarted the iPod by toggling the power switch and holding the Menu/Select buttons until it restarted.
    Rebooted my computer
    Restored the iPod nano
    Results are the same. Sometimes it will sync, after an extended period of time, without reason. Once I eject and need to reconnect the device, I am unable to get it to sync. Sometimes I have ended up with a spinning beachball and have force quit iTunes and sent a report and a description, but Apple doesn't seem to have come up with an update yet.
    I can tell you this-- I have not seen an iPod that would be a suitable replacement for this one-- I love not having to look at the screen to operate it's simple controls, and it is the perfect size.
    I can also tell yo uthis-- The new suprise user interface on iTunes 11 is clunky and requires too many steps to maintain my playlists. Do not like it.
    Suggestions?

  • HT1338 i will like to update to Mac OS v10.8, when i try, it gives responding product distribution could not be verified, maybe damaged or not verified. please, help

    i will like to update to Mac OS v10.8, when i try, it gives responding product distribution could not be verified, maybe damaged or not verified. please, help

    Make sure your Mac qualifies to upgrade to Mountain Lion >  Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.
    Installing the OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo) reinstalls the App Store for you which may help the product distribution error.
    Restart your Mac after the combo is installled. It's ok to do this even though your Mac already has v10.7.5 installed.
    Then try downloading Mountain Lion.
    FYI ... For downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    You may also need to temporarily disable anti virus software if installed.
    Apps such as Little Snitch, Net Nanny, and Hands Off can prevent apps from downloading including Mountain Lion.

  • My ipod touch is connected to my USB port, it sais it's charging although... it doesn't show on itunes that i have plugged my device in, once i turn my ipod on the apple icon appears but then loses battery streight away and starts off all over again.

    although it is doing what i asked it to do, i want it to charge, ok so it does it... although when i turn it on it's as if it's either not charged at all but only enough to have the apple icon on my ipod, once it's had enough (which is like, a minute) it switches itself off and carries on charging, sometimes it switches itself on but this just takes it back to step one. also, when i connect my device to the USB port itunes does not recognise it for some reason, i've updated the newest version of itunes recently and i've tried annother ipod on annother computer with the same USB cable, so it's either the newest version of itunes, my ipod or my computer. please help
    P.S,
           i do have the required version of windows for this to work, my computer isn't a mac, it's a pc, hope this helps...

    how long have you had your ipod? mine did the same but after a while you need to get a new one because of the battery...

    Next would be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • IPod Nano won't sync in iTunes.

    Have synced my iPod Nano with iTunes many times, but this just started occuring:
    Display on iPod flashes back and forth between "Connected" and "Ok to Disconnect" and getting following message box on iTunes:
    "An iPod has been detected but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again.
    If the problem persists, uninstall iTunes then install iTunes again."
    I have done all of the above and even tried with a different cable. Same problem. I'm also getting intermittant messages about faster performance if I use a USB 2.0 port and another one that the device driver can't be installed.
    iTunes is not recognizing my iPhone 4 now either.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello 510turbo,
    Try this to fix the issue:
    How to fix: iPod nano detected but not identified properly
    From the sounds of it, your usb ports may be going out on your computer. If Other apple devices are having the same issue, its more than likley that its the usb ports.
    Test your ipod on a different known/good computer. You can test it at an Apple Retal store by setting an appointment. Apple.com/retail
    Hope this helps.
