Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Please help ipod not formatting

please help
going on long trip, want to use ipod for first time
when insert ipod cd, asks to connnect ipod, recognizes ipod
attached using USB2.0, says needs format, click on format, just sits there with blue bar scrolling left to right while saying waiting for ipod, and does not let you click on back button format button, or cancel button
so close window and window behing which couldn't see before says enter serial #, do that goes through rest of installation, then if plug in ipod, windows recognizes it but itunes doesn't, also when using ipod updater says plug in ipod so i do but never allows me to click update or restore
problems probably all related to formatting issue
have tried several solutions suggested on web but none work
so disappointed
appreciate any help

The best way is to restore the iPod Updater (latest version please)instead of formatting, unless your iPod could not get recongized by your PC. I will try to put it in Disk Mode (press "Select"+"Play" keys) and connect with your PC, open your iTunes and hope that you can see your iPod's icon in it, then open the iPod updater and do a restore.
If you still cant solve your probelm, someone in this forum suggested to do a chkdsk.
I got disappointed with the XP, I finally managed to format my iPod using 3rd party software i.e. "Partition Magic" and got it fixed up

Please help - Ipod not recongised by itunes

I recently attempted deleting a couple of songs from my ipid which resulted in losing all 20G of files. Since then my Ipod is not recognised by my PC. I have completed all support reccomendatsions and returned the IPOD which was in tuen returned to me by Apple indicating there was no issue with it. They will not however provide any further support. I am going nmad with it.
The ipod appears in windows as removable media but does not show in Itunes. I have tried it on other machines with no result. Does anyone have any suggetsions???

Please help ipod not restoring

Hi everyone, ive been having some problems with my ipod lately. The 'sync to itunes' screen is showing on my ipod and i forced it into recovery mode in order to restore it. This worked and then my ipod was synced perfectly.
After this i used itunes to update some of my apps and then tried to re-sync my ipod. The apps were synced but all of my music/videos/photos etc were wiped off my ipod. So i tried to sync it once again and it went back to the 'sync to ipod' screen.
Again my only option was to restore it, but now when i try this procedure i just get an 'error 14' message and it doesnt restore.
Any ideas?

OK - after hours and hours of fidling I have found a [partial] solution.
After posting above I tried restoring my iPod with the Firewall turned off. This changed the Error from (6) to (14) but otherwise the same symptoms.
I used a different computer (Windows XP Laptop) and iTunes to recover my iPod. This was a clean install of iTunes on the laptop. I took the OS 3.0 firmware out of the App Settings folder on my Vista PC and saved onto the laptop. On the laptop I shift-clicked the restore button when iTunes recognised the iPod in recovery mode and chose the OS 3.0 firmware.
Once recovered I completely uninstalled iTunes, Bonjour, Quicktime and Apple Mobile Device Service and used CCleaner to remove rougue registry entries. I also manually moved all the Apple/Apple Computer and iTunes/iPod folders in my Documents & Settings and Local Settings etc.
I then (with great trepidation) plugged my iPod into my Vista PC. I deleted the other iTunes library and its currently syncing with my music library. Fingers crossed the Sync completes.
I hope this helps someone else and I hope that Apple actually takes the crash reports and does something with them - I think its pretty poor that you can't log a support case and that the telephone helpline told me I needed to replace the iPod when there is clearly not a hardware problem.
Come on Apple - sort out your Windows/Vista support!

Please help. Not working

I installed an update and now i'm trying to restore my iphone but it gets to the part where it says preparing iphone for restore but then an unknown error comes up. I've uninstalled itunes and reintalled but nothing is helping. Any ideas on trying to fix this would be much appreciated. Mel

I would love to help but need the error code number. Can you please post that as well?

Please help, photomerge not working? (one tiny horizontal canvas?)

I'm using it to do panography... so I'm literally using hundreds of pictures.
My process is: batch resize, so they go from being about 5mb to 2.5 (still quite large I know but I want to print it really large and when I resized them to 500kb they were waay too obviously pixelated.)
After this I save them all in a folder and use the photomerge collage thing and select all the pictures, i dkno what canvas size to have but i just assumed it would sort itself out. I've done this before, but with much smaller pictures (500kb ish)
Is the size of the images the problem, should I just have a larger canvas/background?? It takes so long for photoshop to sort them all out that I really can't be bothered to go through the entire process again to get the same result.
Which is basically all of the pictures on the layers (as normal), but the grey/white blocks (background, you know what I mean?) is really really long horizontally and there's about 1 image visible? Difficult to describe, just realised I can upload a screenshot. Considering that.
Thank you for your help! Apologies for my ignorance

A screenshot would be nice. And yes, the canvas will take care of itself. File sizes mean nothing in this context, a 5 MB jpeg and a 5 MB psd are two completely different animals. What are the pixel dimensions? And how many frames?
In general, a photomerge failing to complete is usually because of poor or missing overlap. Water, drifting clouds, trees swaying in the breeze, you get the idea.

10.4.4 Mac Help does not work

I just upgraded 10.4.3 to 10.4.4. Now Tiger Mac help does not work. Other software help does work, at least those I have checked like Word, Safari, and a few others I have checked. But in the Finder going to help in the Menu bar does brings up the help window, but try to click a link like What's new in Tiger or typing a query into the search window produces nothing. All the software seems to be working fine, at least what I have checked. I have redownloaded and re-installed making sure virus software is off to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated.

I tried the steps mentioned before, and thought I would give them one more try. Initially, I had success in that the Help Viewer opened to the default Mac Help view, and when I typed in a find term, lo & behold a list of results appeared! Alas, my visions of success vanished when I clicked on one of the results, then View.....nothing happened!
I returned to the main menu, and found none of the links would work, and neither would the search function!
It appears a link may work the first time, but none after that.
I also noticed that (repeating the Cache & Preference removal steps) that they repopulated with the files when Mac Help was initiated, and, as before, would allow one link acivation to occur, but none after.
I suspect there may be a conflict with some other applications Help feature, but made sure to activate ONLY the Mac Help with no other Application having been run after restart. The only other possiblity is that some toolbar non-Mac OS X help apps like Magic Menu, Quicken, & iPod conflict, but these are all I have!
If any one having this Help Viewer problem has similar installations, or knows of any conflicts with these; or, how I can temporarily disable/remove the associated help without uninstalling them, please post a reply.

Please help. At work we have netgear and tplink. Since I updated my mini iPad and iPhone 4S with ios 7 and wifi drops all the time.

Please help. At work we have netgear and tplink. Since I updated my mini iPad and iPhone 4S with ios 7wifi drops all the time. What is the problem?

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. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

PSE 10 and Adobe CS6: When running silent install help is not working afterwards

Hello,
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum. If not: Please help me find the correct one.
I have a big issue with Adobe CS6 (and former versions like Photoshop Elements 10): When installing it from DVD running GUI everything is working fine afterwards. If I install e.g. Photoshop Elements 10 using "Silent Installation" help is not working afterwards. It states that it cannot locate the URL. I have not installed AIR and also do not plan to install it.
I have 'played' a little around with Common Files\Adobe\helpcfg and help directory. Now at least I do not get an error message but still it's not the online help which opens in the browser but the web page that is defined as 'home'.
The same I see now in Adobe CS6. I have e.g. packaged After Effects and Illustrator and when deploying it I'm not able to open help as well and I fear that this is the same issue.
Has anyone deeper knowledge about how "helpcfg" is working? Any example files? Any other help appreciated as well.
Kind regards
János

@hannilator Have you checked the exceptions folder contents for instructions on how to push to logged off computers? Here's what I get when I package CS6 (DesignWebPrem) and excude AIR/CHC:
After you have deployed the package, separately install the products in the exception folder.
IMPORTANT: Before you install the products in the exception folder, refer to the following Adobe Knowledgebase article for information on installing these products and configuring the settings correctly:
http://www.adobe.com/go/aamee_exceptions
NOTE: The installation commands provided below will work when the user is logged in to the client machine where the package is being deployed. For the scenario where the user is not logged in, prefix the following string to the command:
sudo launchctl bsexec `ps auwwx |grep [l]oginwindow | awk '{ print $2 }'`
As an example, here is the command to install "Adobe AIR" when the user is not logged in to the client machine (assuming Adobe AIR is part of the package):
sudo launchctl bsexec `ps auwwx |grep [l]oginwindow | awk '{ print $2 }'` Adobe\ AIR\ Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe\ AIR\ Installer -silent

WBS element field in transaction CS71-F4 help is not working in ECC 6.0

Hii
In SAP, while working in SAP 4.7, tcode cs71, WBS element is coming via F4 Help. But after upgradation to ECC 6.0 EHP 5, this F4 help is not working. I can enter value manually.but F4 help is not working.
Please Help.

Hi,
You can do it manually too
1. Choose function group 'CSDI' via Transaction SE80.
2. Choose screen '0260'in the 'Screens' area and switch to change mode
3. Choose the 'Element list' tab index.
4. In this area, choose the 'Reference' tab index and enter the value
    'PRP' in the 'Search help' column in the line for field
    'RC29N-PSPNR'.
5. Save your change and regenerate the screen.
6. The correct input help for the WBS element is now available in the
    initial screen of Transaction CS71/72/73.
I hope F4 helps works for "Existing WBS BOM's" in CS71 after this
Refer to Note : 714824 as well , it has reverted back the changes done by note : 422265

Gaurav

With input disabled field search help is not working.

Hi Web dynpro abap Gurus
Please help me on below requirement.
If i make a input field disable then the attach search help is not working. Is there is any way by which
I can make input field disabled and search help will also work for this field.
I really need help on this, Please help me.
Many thanks in advance.
Sandeep Sharma

Hi
I dont think that a field can be disabled and allows to choose data using f4 simultaneously. you can enable the field and allow the user to select whatever he/she wants.
Then in any action like on press of save or submit button which the user will trigger after entering the values, get the value entered by the user in that perticular field and fire a query on the table/view, which you have used as selection method of your search help, it help is coming from data element then look for check table in domain. if sy-subrc comes 0 than go ahead else give error that value selected is modified.
Thanks
Vishal
