Yes, it has to be formatted as HFS Extended (Journaled). You can do this in Disk Utility.

Car charger iphone will not work since i updated to ios 5. The apple charger i bought said it was campatible wiith 3gs but every time i plug it in it says on my iphone that it does not support this device

Please help!!!!!

iPhones don't have to "support" a charger. You likely have fluff / debris in the docking port of the phone. Try cleaning it out *very carefully* with something like a dry toothbrush.

Hello kidmango,
I am going to have to agree with planb77. Look into other drivers in your computer causing the issue, not just the nano's drivers.
It is possible that security software is the culprit. Use this:
iTunes: Troubleshooting security software issues
You may have to restore your computer to a previous point. From before the issue started. Contact computer manufacture or Windows for steps, or do a search with a search engine.
I would test the ipod on a known good computer to see if its the ipod is the issue. My gut says no. You can set a reservation at an Apple Retail Store. Apple.com/retail .You can also test a known good ipod on your computer.
Hope this helps.

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
- Then try on another computer

Have you seen my User Tipp here
"Movie Magic" with Stills and Dissolve
When you 'prep' your stills in any 'picture app', you can do a lot of marvel by simply applying dissolves.
In your case, I would create a white document (in Pixelmator, Keynote, Photshop, online at pixlr.com, whatever ...) and another with your logo (and further more ones with additional logos). Drag the jpgs into your iMovie Project and apply dissolves - tadahh! - logos appear on white.

Hey nataliexcupcakes,
If your iPhone isn't appearing under Devices in iTunes after you connect it, and it can't be restored, you'll want to follow along with this article for a resolution:

I'd like an answer to this one too. I need to backup my iphone5 and am getting the same message. My old laptop is pretty full. Isn't there a way to choose an external hard drive to back up to? If there is, I don't see it.

hi,
somewhere on the windows machineshould be something like "network setup wizard". exactly where it is and what it is called i cannot remember off the top of my head, windows help is actually slightly useful here, it should have a link to it.
all the options checked on the mac are only what services the mac is offering to other machines, they have nothing to do with the services it can access (mostly...).
oh yeah, to actually connect to the pc after you have turned its sharing on, use the finder, or, when it does not show the pc (this happens on and off, possibly a refresh problem apple...) choose go --> connect to server and enter smb://<pc's name or ip>
to find the ip, the easiest way i think is
start --> run --> cmd ->> ipconfig

There are apps you can dowload that will let you sync your contacts across platforms or backup and restore contacts without iTunes. An app that will sync your contacts is Contacts Sync. Search the app store and find an app that will meet your needs.

I was infected by a virus and this changed proxy config to 127.0.0.1:64727, i removed the virus, but every time i start firefox i find the proxy configuration made by the virus.is there any config file i can change ?

I was infected by a virus (i can't remember the virus name). Antivirus removed it, but i think it changed some config file on FF, 'cause every time i try to restart it , i find it configured to use proxy 127.0.0.1:64727. I change every time the config, i also tried to change the config on the about:config and set network.proxy.type 5 , no port and no network proxy (so it's all on default) . I changed the config on the gui, i removed the config from windows registry ( IE and chrome start normally, with no proxy), but every time i restart FF i find the proxy config there. How can i fix it ?

I had the same problem.
Solution
'''Clear Virus First'''
-clear virus using either anti-virus or manually going into task manager and figuring out which processes are bad.
-If the manual way, go through each process in task manager and right click to "open file location". Depending on where it is located and the name of the process, you can google the process name online to see if it is bad.
-Delete the bad process file and as added security, create a folder using the name of the process so the file can't be recreated later. (example: If I had a virus "3dcr.exe" in folder c:\user, then delete "3dcr.exe" and create a new folder c:\user\3dcr.exe\ )
'''Fix Proxy Settings'''
-If your browser points an proxy server and you can't change the settings because every restart of firefox returns the settings back (even after changing in about:config or prefs.js or options>advanced>network>settings). The answer is to uninstall firefox with all its user preferences and the reinstall it.
*I know it is a bit brute force, but it was the only method I found to work. Just be sure to save your bookmarks first.

HT204053 My wife and I just bought iPhone's, we use to share an account under one Apple ID, is there a way for one of us to share music without sharing the same Apple ID?

We use to have multiple iPods, now we both have iPhones. When she wants to FaceTime with relatives she has to use my Phone because that's where the Apple ID is "tied" to. Now if we want to FaceTime each other it gets weird.
We share similar taste in music so the music is not the problem.
I'd just like her to have her own Apple ID for FaceTime, apps, etc.
is this possible?

Sorry... Apple IDs cannot be merged...
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

Plz help me figure out what in the world is going on with my iTunes!!

Title of error:
QuickTime Handler Window: iTunes.exe - Bad Image
complete error message:
The application or DLL c:\...\iTunes\...\Mplugin.dll is not a valid Windows image. PLease check against installation diskette.
Things I have tried:
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes 6.05.02
Uninstall and reinstall QuickTime 7.1
Uninstall and reinstall BOTH itunes and QT (removing both before reinstalling either)
Uninstall and reinstall both (the second time using the QT version that is not bundled with iTunes [read on another post])
iTunes does eventually load, but starts the next song with EXACTLY 5 seconds left and plays the two songs concurrent. It does this on every song!!! I sync'ed my iPod to see if the newly added tracks were corrupt, but they play just fine if I disconnect the iPod. If I play a track from the iPod using iTunes, it will cut off the last 5 seconds, just like any track I attempt to play on iTunes. I know this violates a discussion group rule by listing two problems, but they both occured at the same time.
Windows XP

The application or DLL c:\...\iTunes\...\Mplugin.dll is not a valid Windows image. PLease check against installation diskette.
... isn't mplugin a variety of third party itunes add-on/plug-in?
if you've got third-party add-ons installed, try the techniques from this document to see if it helps with the itunes/QT error messages that you're getting:

I just got an iPhone 4 and I'm trying to use it on tmobile. I have restored the phone but every time I put in my SIM card for t mobile it says no service. How can I fix this?

I just got an iPhone 4 and I'm trying to use it on the t mobile network. The thing is, I've tried restoring the phone so I could use it. I haven't tried my sim on other phones yet. But I will try to see if it works. The iPhone is supposedly factory unlocked btw. Anyways, when I put in my tmobile sim, it searches for the service, but it always ends up saying NO SERVICE. I checked that my network says that the "phone not allowed". So I don't have 3G on this phone I presume. I heard that you need 3G to have service is that correct? But how do I resolve it? The iPhone does know that my phone carrier is tmobile. It just says no service. And I've tried restoring it three times and turning it off and on and it won't work. I don't have a data plan for tmobile tw! Hopefully someone can help! Thank you so much in advance!

If a phone is sold from one friend to another and wants to use it on a different carrier the friend can contact the carrier it was sold by to request it unlocked. I know AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint will give you the steps to unlock it as long as the original contract it was bought under has been completed. eBay/Craigslist is really not the best place to try to get "unlocked phones" from, if it turns out the phone isn't unlocked then I'm really sorry you got stuck with that one and as stevejobsfan said above I would report them immediately and see if you can recover your money. I sell phones for a living and this happens a lot

I bought a new MacBook Air the other day and I have been trying to connect my iPhone into the laptop to charge. However every time I plug it in, the phone connects and disconnects very quickly and doesn't charge. How do I fix this?

I Bought a new macbook air and it won't charge my phone. This is the second laptop ive gone through as i got a replacement one only two days ago for the same problem. I need to be able to connect my iPhone so I can download songs etc from iTunes onto my phone. How do I fix this?

Since this is the second computer you've had this problem with, I recommend you look for answers on the iPhone forum. My thinking is it is an iPhone issue rather than a computer issue (unless it is some software incompatibility).
