I attempted to update my iphone 3 using itunes. I'm not certain but I believe I did a backup on my pc first. I am now unable to use the phone at all - the slide bar won't move and I have a camera icon next to the slide bar which is not responsive. I have tried to sync and even left the phone connected to the pc overnight. The phone is going flat within a couple of hours and won't stop beeping every few seconds and seems to be syncing all the time, even when disconnected from pc. I am fearful that I have lost all my contacts - nothing is working - can anyone help - please?
Try resetting it if you can: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release. If you can't, try to connect it to iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your sync settings and click Restore to restore it. If that doesn't work you'll have to force it into recovery mode to restore it as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.
You can check in iTune to see if you have a backup. They are listed in iTunes>Preferences>Devices. However, the backup may not bring your contacts back as contacts are only backed up as necessary to preserve the recent call and call favorites lists. -
Importing sets "part of compilation" all the time, even when it shouldn't.
I've just instaled iTunes 9.01 and have been importing about 5 CDs worth of music. The problem is that iTunes seems to be setting the "part of a compilation" flag every time even though none of the CDs I've been importing are compilations CDs.
I know that sometimes the gracenote database has the CD tracks incorrectly marked as compilations when they aren't on a compilation CD. But I've imported 5 CDs in a row and they've all been marked as compilations, so I am starting to wonder if iTunes is the one setting the compilation flag.
Has anyone else seen this problem?
The net effect is that after I import a CD, it doesn't show up in the genre/artist/album browser. Instead it shows up in the compilation list. So I end up having to go into the imported tracks and uncheck the compilation flag
This is made even worse by the fact that I can't select all of the tracks at once and open up the info because when you select multiple tracks and open up the info there is not "part of a compilation" flag that I can see. So I end up having to open up the tracks one at a time and unchecking he flags one at a time, which is a pain in the butt.
Any suggestions on how to fix this would be very much appreciated!+This is made even worse by the fact that I can't select all of the tracks at once and open up the info because when you select multiple tracks and open up the info there is not "part of a compilation" flag that I can see.

You've probably already found this out, but just in case someone else is looking for the answer:
In order to 'undo' "Part of a Compilation" that iTunes did on an imported CD:
*Right click on the album, Choose 'Get Info' and click yes when asked if it is ok to set info for multiple items.
*Click the 'Options' tab.
* In the middle of the dialog is the option 'Part of a Compilation' : Check the box on the left and change the option from the drop down menu on the right to 'No'.
*click 'Ok'
Make sure you give the group of songs an Album Artist or Album title so that the songs end up in the desired folder.
Hope it helps. -
WRT54GX2 slow connection all the time, even when right next to it.
My connections are always dropping since I bought the router. Even when I am close to the router the connection is still slow. I keep my PC optimized always so I have ruled out the laptop. Are there any setting changes that I might try? I use my wireless connection only for my laptop.
Here are the stats:
WRT54GX2 - Firmware 1.01.18
Not sure what version I have (ver2 or ver1)
Connection Type - PPPoE
NAT - Yes
Unique SSID
G-only
Channel - 11
Broadcast - NO
Security Mode - WPA/WPA2
MAC filtering - YES
Basic Rate - set#2
Trans Rate - AUTO
Beacon Interval - 100
DTIM - 1
Frag Thres - 2346
RTS Thres - 2347
Laptop - IBM Thinkpad Z60M w/Atheros card
Thanks in Advance!I used to recommend that "SSID Broadcast" be disabled for security reasons. But newer cracking methods have made this old trick practically worthless. So set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal. You security comes from using WPA/WPA2 and a strong password.
Windows XP requires a patch to properly run WPA2. Go to Microsoft Knowledge base, article ID=893357 and it will direct you to the patch.
Sadly, the patch is not part of the automatic Windows XP updates, so lots of people are missing the patch.
Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers, and your neighbor's wireless network. In rare cases, Bluetooth devices can interfere. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4.
Also, try to locate the router about 4 to 6 feet above the floor, in an open area. Do not locate it behind your monitor or near other computer equipment or speakers. The antenna should be vertical.
If the above does not correct your problem, download and install the latest driver for your wireless card.
If you are still having trouble, download and install (or re-install) the latest firmware for your router.
Hope this helps.

Automatically connects to sync and will start playing music all the time even when not using sync
My iPhone 4S will automatically start playing music as soon as I start my vehicle with sync.you can't hear it but on the screen it shows its playing even when listening to the radio

Problem: Fan at full speed all the time - even when the Mac is turned off
Hello,
my Mac mini suffers from a very strange problem. I've had it for half a year now and recently bought a new power adaptor since my old one got damaged. I plugged it in and everything was fine - until half an hour afterwards, when the fan suddenly made itself noticeable at full speed. But it didn't stop; it went on, curiously even when I shut the Mac mini down. That's right. even when the system's turned off. The noise is really unbearable and only stops when I plug off the power cord.
Any ideas why this is happening?My Mini started doing this yesterday. I came home from work and the fan was going full blast. Even after shutting the machine down, the fan would continue to run at full speed (and it is LOUD...much louder than my full tower desktop PC with 4 80mm fans). The only way to stop the fan is to completely unplug the Mini from the power supply.
I doubt that this is due to faulty wiring as my Mini is plugged in to a very nice UPS unit that conditions the power.
Now, I'm willing to admit that this may be entirely my fault since I have upgraded my Mini with 1 GB of RAM, a Pioneer DVD burner, and a higher capacity hard drive. However, the Mini has been running 24-hours-a-day for 5-6 months since my final upgrade, so it would seem that my upgrades are unrelated to this issue. Also, since someone else is having the same problem, again, my upgrades seem unrelated.
I was told on another forum to try resetting the PMU, which I will try when I get home today. If it works, I'll post. Seems unlikely though since the fan runs even when the Mini is powered down.
If anyone has any other ideas, I'd be glad to hear them. I'm assuming that my Mini is no longer under the 1-year warranty since I have performed so many upgrades myself, so, if this problem is something that can only be fixed by Apple, then it will probably cost an arm and a leg. -

I can pair my iPhone 4 with my MacBook and my Macbook Pro but they will not connect. My iPhone keeps telling me it does not support this even with bluetooth turned on.The devices section keeps searching all the time. Is this an antenna problem? Or something else ?
Your iphone is right, it is not supported. The iphone's bluetooth protocols do not include file transfer, but are intendes only for headsets, stereo headphones, cars, and keyboards.

HiHi can you please help me to fix my iPhone 5 when I update it to the iOS 6.1.2 my carrier signal indicator states searching all the time please help me what to do
Hi Samantha,
Are you aware that if you restore your ipad that you will lose all data from your ipad and very difficult to get it back unless you had previously made a back-up of your data on itunes or in the cloud. and that would be on the computer you set those up on. (There are some independent apps out there that might help restore data but I don't have any experience with them...)
Also, I think if you restore on another computer you're supposed to have administrator rights and have the latest itunes update. And I think if you sync (if restoring is considered syncing with another computer, you'll be locked out of your computer or a new one.)
I don't know if there is a way for you to safely eject your ipad from your mom's laptop and find another way, but please read this
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275
Also, I suggest you start a new post and title it something like First, stuck on update and now on Restore on another computer. Please HELP! And then tell the story of your problem that you originally included and your follow-up efforts to restore given a suggestion on previous post (though I think you SHOULD AVOID RSTORE if you can.) And refer them to your original post
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22050045?ac_cid=tw123456#22050045
Hope this helps and if you can get back to your ios before the upgrade, stay with it. I hope it all works out for you.
FYI - If it's a new or refurb bought within the past year you might be able to have it replaced by Apple. -

Trying to download OSX Mountain Lion, but just says waiting all the time? Anyone know what this could be?
You are not specific with your problem or errors but one thing that always throws people off is as follows:
When entering you're login name you must use the entire login with carrier name such as [email protected] The field defults to just your name but not the carrier name. -
Since upgrading to Lion the screen auto brightness adjusting icon comes on allmost all the time even though i've switched it of in preferences?? it's so annoying..any ideas??
I don't know exactly what the issue is, but I think I do. Are you talking about what happens when you start up your MBP, full brightness, with power cable in - and when you're using battery only, the brightness dims? If so, this is a feature designed to make sure your monitor is bright enough while using batteries - but not so bright as to cause an undue drain on power.
I don't know about a cure to this issue, if indeed this is what you're talking about. -
