My touch shows the connect to itunes with usb on screen however when i try to do so it says it cannot connect because it is locked with a passcode. It will not let me enter the code on the ipod or computer. so i cant do anything. Any ideas?

I have tried rebooting it. nothing seems to help. it always ends up with the same screen a picture prompting me to hook up via usb to itunes.Then without fail i get an error message. itunes connpt connect to the ipod touch because it is locked with a passcode. you need to enter the passcode on the ipod touch first. unfortunately the touch will not show any other screen but the connect to itunes.

Connect the iPod touch to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode and restore it to factory setting. See this article for instructions on getting your device into Recovery Mode.

ICloud Mail will not let me enter a subject in the Subject line

all of a sudden iCloud Mail will not let me enter a subject in the Subject line. It even alerts me that there is no subject in the Subject line when i send an email but still wont let let the cursor enter anything in the subject line

When you add an iCloud account with Lion or Mt Lion there's no need to add an incoming mail server if you are using the built in mail app. It is automatically configured for you.

When I try and distribute form, it says it cannot connect to server, even though I'm online, sign in etc.

When I try and distribute form, it says it cannot connect to server, even though I'm online, sign in etc. How can I get it to connect?? I need to know, urgently to get a proposal in before the deadline.

Try downloading the Find My Friends app and signing in with your iCloud ID to accept the terms and conditions there. If that doesn't work, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in.

My Ipad 2 says its connected to my wifi but when i try to go ontofacebook it says I cannot connect and when i try on safari it says I am not connected to the internet. Yet on settings it says I am. Any help?

I recently got an IPad 2 and when I first set up the wifi connection the safari and facebook worked but suddenly whenever I attempt to get onto facebook it says Unable to connect and whenever I go on safari it says I am not connected to the internet. yet when I go on settings-- Wi-fi The network I should be cnnected with is ticked and it says I have connection, but once i try to go on the internet I have the same problem. Is there a way I can solve this by resetting or do I need to go into the apple shop to get it sorted. Any help? Thanks.

HT1212 my iphone is frozen on the lock screen and will not let me enter my passcode, I have held the home button and power button for up to 1 minute and plugged it up to itunes because its locked it wont work? i need help

i have connected it to itunes like i was told to do and it wont do anything because its locked with a passcode and its frozen on the lock screen and will not let me enter myt passcode and after a while it just shuts off, it has been doing this for almost 48 hours. I was told to hold the home button and power button to shut it down and that I could then restart it and it would work... Nothing has helped, What can I try???

Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
If that does not resolve, restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
If all else fails, take the device to Apple (or whomever provides support in your country) for evaluation and possible replacement.

What do i do when iTunes will not let me download a song and the App store will not let me download and app?

What do i do when iTunes will not let me download a song and the App store will not let me download and app?

What do you mean by 'will not let me download' ? Is the buy/download button greyed out ? Are you getting any error messages ?

HT202667 I did not do my research before changing my Apple ID from an outdated email address to a current one. I just changed and verified and though I was all set. WRONG! Now I cannot sign in to iCloud because it will not let me enter the new Apple ID! H

I did not do my research before changing my Apple ID from an outdated email address to a current one. I just changed and verified and though I was all set. WRONG! Now I cannot sign in to iCloud because it will not let me enter the new Apple ID. I read the 10/30/13 randers4 post to just change your Apple ID back then sign in and change it to the new email address again and then you can sign in, but I cannot change back to the prior email address Apple ID because that is no longer an active email account (or at least not mine). Any thoughts on how to get signed into iCloud when it does not allow me to type in the new Apple ID and the old Apple ID no longer exists.
I see that many people have asked, but no one has come up with a solution that I found.
Thanks for any help!

This did not work for me. My old email account for iCloud still pops up on my screen every time I open my macbook. I've deleted it, reset it, every thing I can think of and it still shows up. I think six months of this is more than enough time to wait.

IT WILL NOT LET ME OPEN UP 2 OF THE SAME WINDOW

WHEN I TYPE A LETTER IN TO THE URL LIKE “M” FOR EXAMPLE TO GO TO THE FIRST CHOOSE WHICH IS http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/ AND THEN I OPENED A NEW TAB AND PUSH “M” AGAIN TO OPEN http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/ AGAIN I CANNOT DO IT, IT WILL NOT LET ME OPEN UP 2 OF THE SAME WINDOW

If you want to load a second copy of ''the page you are viewing'' in a new tab, you can press Alt+Enter in the address bar.
If you want to load a second copy of ''some other page'' that is open, as you noticed, instead of showing the URL, the awesomebar drop-down shows "Switch to Tab." Not everyone likes this feature, so someone created an add-on to turn it off.

Does that help?

HT201365 How do I change settings so I do not have to enter pass code all the time?

How do I change sttings so I do not have to enter pass code all the time?

The passcode is a key security feature to ensure that nobody has access to your device and data without you entering the passcode in. You can only have the option to have it on or off so if you wish to disable it then go to "settings>general>passcode lock" to do this.

HT4759 I can not install app's from the app store on my phone,and when i try, i get a message tells me (cannot connect to itunes store) that happened after i updated it to "IOS6" . it's a "IPhone4 S"

I can not install app's from the app store on my phone,and when i try, i get a message tells me (cannot connect to itunes store) that happened after i updated it to "IOS6" . it's a "IPhone4 S"

Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it. So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID). If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections.

I have a external hard drive connected, Finder will not let me search for files in the external hard drive how do i search in a hard drive

What are you using to search? You should be able to search any drive in from the Finder. If you're having trouble, try "EasyFind" from the App Store (free). You can search any volumes with it.

Hello Tholc
The reason for that is the screen motion that is enabled. With certain photos and how they were taken, they will be zoomed in so that there is no black space on the photo.

I want to add new songs to my ipod. When I set it up with itunes years ago I had a different computer that I no longer have. Now it will not let me add new songs to my ipod shuffle without erasing everything that is already on it. Help!!!

I want to add new songs to my ipod. When I set it up with itunes years ago I had a different computer that I no longer have. Now it will not let me add new songs to my ipod shuffle without erasing everything that is already on it. Help!!! Is there any way around this?

Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me. Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?
