My mac air is stuck in setup mode.

i had my computer prompt for an update. then it froze and prompts to do the initial setup. i do the set up and nothing happens.

they had me power off, then reboot in safe made. to enter safe mode just hold the shift key immediately after powering on. Then release the shift key after the apples and progress bar come up.
so far this has only partially worked. I can verify that the upgrade was complete and use the computer in safe mode, but haven't been able to get past the login screen screen in regular mode.

Mac formatted ipod stuck in recovery mode when rescuing tunes onto a PC

Hi
I have an ipod Nano (6gb) that is Mac formatted. I tried to recover the tunes from it to a PC desktop with Xplay. It started ok and then the ipod entered into recovery mode so it could be reformatted for Windows (I think itunes started doing it).
At that moment I couldn’t recover my tunes. Now whenever I use Xplay again it says "not accessible. The disk structure is corrupted and unreadable.” So it’s stuck in recovery mode.
I know the tunes are still on the ipod because the amount of disk space taken up hasn’t changed, despite the ipod not actually showing the songs on the UI.
How can I fix this so I can grab all the tunes off the ipod before I restore the ipod in itunes and thus effectively formatting it?
Cheers,
L

Try changing the ipod's drive letter per these directions:

New iPad Air 2 stuck in recovery mode, won't restore

My mother recently bought a new iPad Air 2 and found that the Touch I.D wasn't working, so she called support and they told her to restore the iPad, which she tried. When she tried to restore the iPad it says an unknown error has occurred and the iPad can't be restored. Now the iPad is stuck in recovery mode and only showing the connect to iTunes screen. I've tried restoring from different computers and restoring from a downloaded IPSW. At the moment the iPad is a very shiny paperweight that can't even turn on
Please help!

Ipad 2 Stuck in setup mode and itunes wont recognise it

Had and iPad 2 for a while now, decided to get the latest OS for it, plugged into pc, and opened iTunes, updated itunes to the latest version, and updated that first. I then updated the ipad to IOS 5. when this had completed the ipads screen only showed the setup mode (when you first purchase it) and itunes sais the update had completed. i then noticed a pop-up, which wanted to restart my pc. I accepted and when completed the ipad remained in this state. after numerous reboots of the ipad, (holding down power off) nothing has changed.
Any Help?
Thanks in advance

These two clauses contradict each other. If your data were that important, it needed to have been backed up.
Here's how to recover your iPad. Note you may have to try this more than once to succeed.

I've backed up, download 7.0.4, and restored my iPad 2, but it is "stuck" in "setup" mode. How do I move on to using the iPad?

I've added iOS 7.04 to my iPad, having backed up to iTunes, and have also restored it from iTunes. But, the iPad is stuck in "set up" mode since restoring and doesn't allow me to move on to using the iPad. How do I move on from "set up"?

Try this - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

IPad Air is stuck in Dfu mode and iTunes does not recognize

Hello while i was restoring my ipad air and it wasn't going on so i disconnected my ipad air while "restoring" and it was in Recovery mode and i tried restore it again and it gaved me error 2005 and i put in dfu mode and tryed it again and it gave me same error 2005 and i tried disconnecting usb cable and connect again and then iTunes didn't recognize my iPad Air what can i do?

Hey Ozan274,
Thanks for the question. If your iPad is not recognized in iTunes while in recovery mode, follow the steps in this article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
While you should follow all of the steps in the article, the applicable information is located in Step 5, sub-section titled “If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode”
I also see that you are experiencing error 2005, which may be the root cause of your main issue. For more information, see this article:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
Check USB connections
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
Common errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response”, and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
- Use another USB cable.
- Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
- Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
- Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
- Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you see your error after changing your USB connections, continue to the next section to troubleshoot your hardware.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Mac Air(OSX) stuck on mute! no devices visible in System Preferences Sound Output/Input

I have a MacBook Air, Version 10.6.8, Processor 1.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
My Sound is stuck on mute:
-when I go to System Preferances>Sound and go to Output or Input, under "Select a device for sound input/output" there is nothing listed. There at the bottom also the Mute checkbox is also stuck and can't be changed.
It always gets stuck after leaving it in sleep longer (3x till now).
1)The first time this happened, I restarted the PRAM (OPTION+COMMAND+P+R after restarting it) and it helped. The sound worked after that.
2) The second time the method from 1) didn't work, so I tried updating COMBO and then I restarted the SMC (CONTROL+OPTION+SHIFT+POWER BUTTON) and it helped everything was fine after that. The sound worked after that.
3) The third time (all three time in a row) nothing worked (I tried):
      -restarting the PRAM
      -restarting SMC
      -Reparing Disk Premissions in "Disk Utility"
      - I tried deleting some files in the Library>Preferences>...
      - I tried restarting
      - I tried inserting headphones (still no sound)
      - I tried playing some music in the Garage Bend
       - I tried restarting
       - I did not update COMBO the escond time (it would be crazy to update combo everytime this happens, and it happened three days in a row)
Please help me. I have no sound for a week!!!

Mac Creative Cloud Stuck in Trial Mode

Recently got a Team License from Academia and Installed Creative Cloud Complete on one of our Macs via the Admin Tools/Deployment Tools.
But since looking at the CC software all the products are listed as Try and once installed they are all in Trial Mode for 30 days.
Any way that we can get this to recognise that the account associate is registered with proper License?
Thank you.

Ive tried almost every solution minus the origonal headphones. They've been packed up and sent with my house hold goods.

PLugging in in power and headphones and unplugging headphones while playing video. Resetting all setting. Any suggestions are helpful

Can't Restore/Update iPad Air. Stuck in DFU mode

I'm not sure what else to do as I've looked and researched and can't figure this out. I'm trying to update my iPad Air to iOS 8.1.3, started at 9 PM and now it's 2 AM. Each time I attempted to update the iOS, I got the iTunes error 17. Research said it may be an issue contacting Apple servers, so I after doing research I edited my hosts file and added 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com to it. After doing that, I get error 3014. At one point I was able to get past that, but then I got error 2005. As it stands now, my iPad is stuck in DFU with the iTunes icon saying to connect it but I can't do anything to get it back up. Can anyone please help figure this out?... To summarize:
1. iTunes gives error 17 with:
120.0.0.1 localhosts
::1 localhosts
74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
2. iTunes gives error 3014 with:
120.0.0.1 localhosts
::1 localhosts

Forgot to mention, this is the most recent version of iTunes 12.1.0.71 and I'm using Windows.

Air application stuck in portrait mode

Hi.
I have created an air application using FlashBuilder 4.5 for IOS devices. The device currently has version 7.0.4. Although I have specified it to rotate to landscape in my app it just gets stuck on portrait on the IPAD. It rotates perfectly to landscape on andriod devices.
        <fullScreen>true</fullScreen>
        <aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>
        <autoOrients>false</autoOrients>
        <visible>true</visible>
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Does anyone know how to resolve it? I have even tried to removed all settings that force it to fit to a specific aspect ratio but it still only shows as portait.
Please help.
Thanks.

Why does my iphone 5 get stuck in setup mode ?

help

Hi bhagath1339,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
The first troubleshooting steps I would recommend in this situation would be restarting and if the issue continues, resetting the iPhone.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue continues after restarting and resetting, it may be necessary to restore your iPhone to isolate software versus hardware. Please follow the attached article if you need assistance restoring the device.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
