My iPod won't sync with iTunes on my new laptop! ITunes registers my iPod, but when I tell it to sync, the sync signal in the top (spooling) window flashes up for a millisecond, and then no more. Any ideas gratefully received!
Hi All, Really hope some of you techies may have suggestions for this as it's driving me nuts. I actually have a new PC and a new laptop, and the same thing happens with both machines. With my PC, the first time I plugged my iPod in, I was asked whether I wanted to wipe everything on my iPod, and reload as per the library on my new machine. As I use my iPod in my zumba and dance classes, I was very weary of doing this before I had checked to ensure all my music was in my library, so at that point I replied 'No'. Since then, i~Tunes registers my iPod, but will not sync to the library (and playlists) on my i
Tunes. It seems bonkers to have to go as far as uninstalling, then reinstalling, iTunes. Is there really no other way to get round this?
Any suggestions gratefully received!
thought that it was possible to have the same iTunes library on any machine that was authorised, a kind of cloud-iTunes I guess.
That would convenient, but sadly it is not the case. Sorry!
Either way your welcome and best of luck!

browser bar at the top loads half way and then stops. Any ideas?I am on windows 7.Thanks.
it seems to work when you reset the port
try this only after you've made sure that any antiviral/firewall software isnt blocking iTunes and the internet connection settings are fine
1. go to windows, accessories and right click on command prompt and run as administrator
2. type in netsh winsock reset (i know sounds ridiculous but it works type WITH SPACES) and press enter
3. Message saying "winsock reset successful now reboot your computer"
4. restart your computer, and open iTunes..backup should run much smoother and faster
5.Click on iTunes store might be working now -

When adding Custom Text to a slideshow in Aperture, I can no longer centre the text in the text box. Is there something I am missing? I am running Aperture 3.6 on Yosemite. Any ideas gratefully received, thanks.
Which theme are you using?
When I am adding text in a slideshow, I found, that it will depend on the theme, if the text will be centered or flushed left. The Classic and Ken Burns theme are centering the text, the newer themes will present it flushed left.
I found no way to select a custom justification for the text. -
How do I migrate to iTunes to a new laptop without losing my ipod content
I installed iTunes in my new laptop with Vista OS. I am hesitate to plug in my iPod to add new mp3s. I know that it will identify that this is a new IPOD and will ask to reformat the iPOD. I am afraid of losign my content. How do I migrate my itune configuration from my old computer to my new Vista laptop. Basically, I want new iTune to recognize my IPOD like the old computer. Do I just copy the Program Files/ITunes folder to the new computer? I am not sure where the IPOD configuration is stored in the old computer.
Thanks.Probably the most straightforward way to get iTunes onto your new computer is to network it with the old one and copy your iTunes folder across. This works fine if you have been using iTunes to completely manage your music and all your songs are in iTunes Music not in different folders. You can also use this method with an external hard drive, you drag the folder from the old computer to the external drive and then from the drive to the new computer.
Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the same location on the new computer. This has to be the exact same place, on a PC this is \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\. When you open iTunes on the new computer it will be the same as on the original one Songs, Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings etc. When I moved iTunes a while ago for my daughter I was also using the same version of iTunes, not sure how important that is but it's probably worth keeping them the same.

Since updating to ios7.0.2 on my i-phone5 I have been unable to open the i-tunes store app, basically it just opens for a second or two then shuts itself down, I've tried a soft reset, turning on and off, closing down all running apps but nothing seems to work, anyone else had the same problem and no how to fix it?
Hey there Fistycuff,
It sounds like iTunes launches for a split second, then quits unexpectedly.
I would recommend a few things for this issue. First, close all the running apps on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that, sign out of your iTunes account in Settings > iTunes and App stores, and restart the phone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

HDMI output cuts out and then comes back, any ideas?
Hi all.
I have a two Dell U2412Ms connected to my MacBook Pro Retina. One is connected via a Displayport connection and the other via the HDMI. I used to have them both connected to the Displayport conenctors but have recently run a cable into my office and now have the ethernet dongle connected to one of the Thunderbolt ports.
Since connecting a screen to the HDMI port, I've noticed that it does something odd from time to time. The screen connected to the HDMI port will go off for a couple of seconds, and then come back on again. It tends to only do this once per 'session' of me using the system. Most times when the screen comes back on, it is fine - but once it came back on the screen was going bananas. It appeared to be mostly grey, but looking closer revealed that all the pixels were going nuts, like a swarm of flies - and there was all sorts of colours going on! I had to unplug the HDMI connection (which caused my windows to move around) and then reconnect it, and then it was fine.
This only happens when using the HDMI port, and is not the monitor at fault - I eliminated it by swapping the screens over so that the other one was using the HDMI .. and it still happened!As it turns out, the USB failed. The Apple people kept my PB and sent it for repair.
I dropped by the genius bar and left it with them on Dec 14 being told it would take 10 business days or so to get it back.
My trackpad button was very stiff, it stuck and had to press harder than normal to click. This was in effect since I took it out of the box when I bought it. Never bothered as I use a Bluetooth Apple mouse. Now that they kept it for repair for the USB port, they will also fix the trackpad. -
How to play flash video for 40 secs and then display webpage automatically?
I have made a webpage, i want to show a flash video for 40 seconds when the page is opened. Then the Flash video should dissapear and the web page shall open. How should i do this?
Hi
This would require the use of actionscript placed inside the flash video, which would then redirect to the main site after the required time.
(to find out how to do this you would be better advised in the flash forum - http://forums.adobe.com/community/flash/flash_general).

I am trying to update the new OS system on my iPhone 4, however, when I connect to iTunes and try to download, I keep getting an error message that says the connection is not established. I ran a diagnostics test and everything passed, however, I'm not sure why I keep getting an error message when the software is at the end of downloading.
Any tips?Disable your firewall/security software.

Has anyone suffered problems backing up overnight. Any solutions would be appreciated.
Hi JimHdk,
I have also upgraded to ios6.1.3, and facing same wifi connecting problem, after upgrade my iphone3gs is not connecting to my laptop shared wifi, which was working perfect with ios6.1.2,
and its not an hardware error, its software error, crippy apple does not test their releases which causes problem to users.
Updates:
Earlier wifi connection which i was using on my Iphone 3gs, was WPA2, which was shared from my laptop via "Microsoft virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter", was working perfectly till ios6.1.2, but when i have upgraded my iphone 3gs to ios6.1.3, my iphone 3gs became unable to join wifi,
Today I have created "adhoc network" on my laptop using "Broadcom 4313 802.11b/g/n"(default wifi adapter of my laptop), and kept security type "WEP", and found my wifi working fine with my iphone 3gs,
So if someone using LAN internet on their laptop, they can share their LAN internet to use on their ios devices, via creating an 'adhoc network',
How to create an 'Adhoc Network',
choose Security Type : WEP (compatible with ios6.1.3)

I am having challenges streaming movies from my Mac Mini to my IPAD 3, the movie will load (after what seems a bit too long) and start to play. It then stops after 30-50 seconds and if I leave will start again, but repeat the start stop thing. Its almost like it stops to buffer than starts again. I have had the same issue appear wiht my Iphone 5.
Thoughts?Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
