    Locate your original install disk (it's grey) and use it to restart your iMac by holding the "C" key during startup. Use the disk utility to repair your harddrive.

    Aloha, Go to Programms>Uninstall Itunes and AppleMobile Device service from your computer or laptop.
    Then re install Itunes.  When Itunes finishes downloading RESTART your computer and open Itunes, plug in your Iphone immediately with USB cable and Itunes will recognize it.  Apple Mobile Device service is causing the problem.  Hope this helps

  • My computer will not recognize my IPhone 4 after being updated

    I was updating my iphone and the screen changed to "plug into itunes" in the middle of it, but it was already plugged in. Now my computer will not recognize that my iphone is plugged in and it is stuck on the "plug into itunes" screen. what should I do? It makes a sound when I plug it into my computer but not the same sound that it usually makes when I normally plug it in.

  • Please Help. Flash will not show up

    Maybe I'm missing something. I have installed Flash. When it
    was done it took me to the Adobe page that said "you have
    version..."
    Yet I can't find the app. anywhere on my computer. When I do
    a search 65 folders come up. The only thing that comes up in
    Applications is flashplayertrust.app and that's through my epson
    printer folder.
    I have other media players installed. Quicktime, RealPlayer,
    Adobe Media Player, Flip For Mac, Windows Media Player for Mac.
    I did have Perian installed and I removed that to see if that
    would help.
    I have installed, un-installed, re-installed, restarted my
    computer. Still nothing
    I also repaired my disks.
    Please help me out. What am I doing wrong here?

    Sally,
    OK since you using 2 computers, we will first focus on the one that will not uninstall iTunes, afterwareds we will get the ipod working on one PC first.
    On the PC that will not uninstall iTUnes, goto control panel>add and remove and try if you can to uninstall iTUnes AND quicktime. Then go here and roll down to "Clean up iTunes installer files on the computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
    Once done disable any antivirus or security programs, then goto apple.com to download and install the latest iTUnes.
    Also on BOTH pcs make sure you have "ipod updater 06-28-2006" you can download and install it here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
    Once iTunes is properly installed on this PC, you need to only connect your nano to the main PC you use for now so we can get it working, then we'll focus on the other PC if needed

  • Please Help! iPod will not sync!

    i plugged my ipod touch into the computer so i could transfer my purchases and it said "backing up ipod" so i waited a while and it finally finished. then it said there was an error and the screen on my ipod looks like this:
    http://www.myallo.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/connect-to-itunes.jpg
    So i ejected it and put it back in. then the computer would not recognize my ipod and the connect ipod to itunes screen will not go away. i'm not sure what to do! please help! i would really appreciate any help because i need my ipod tomorrow night. thank you all so much :]

    Just to clarify, you have synched your iPod before, right? This has happened a few times with my touch, and I would just suggest restarting your computer and iPod (by holding down the hold button). Then try synching again. Hope it works!

  • PLEASE HELP! Itunes will NOT open

    I've seen many posts with people saying their itunes will not open and gives an error message that says it has encountered a problem and has to close. Mine started doing this a couple days ago, and I believe it might have been after I updated either itunes or downloaded a Windows update.
    I have tried probably everything and nothing is working. I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and quicktime (together and seperately). I've messed with msconfig, I've even tried reinstalling itunes from the cd that came with my ipod.
    Someone please help!

    hi Rachel!
    At the moment I do not have quicktime installed. After messing with it so much, I gave up. But the message it was giving me was the same message itunes was giving me, saying it has encountered a problem and needed to close.
    that would be the current problem. itunes won't run if you don't have QT on your system. (it will give you an "itunes has encountered a problem ..." message if you try to launch it under those circumstances.)
    so let's try a standalone QT 7.0.4 reinstall again, taking a few additional precautions this time.
    download and save a copy of the standalone QT 7.0.4 installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
    Quicktime 7.0.4 Standalone Installer
    if you get an error message on that install, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.
    if the install goes through fine, check some things for us.
    does Quicktime launch fine, or do you get an error message? if you get an error message, what does it say?
    if your QT is launching fine, do you still get the "itunes has ..." message?
    love, b

  • Please help. Mail will not download emails.

    Please can someone help. Mail says that it's checking for email, but will not download anything, even though it shows that there are now 11 messages. This has been happening for over 24hrs. I have good wifi and 3G access and haven't changed any settings. The only difference in the last few days is updating OS via iTunes.

    Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • PLEASE HELP! itunes will not start!

    I just downloaded itunes 7.0 when it finished, it told me that itunes installation was not complete because Quicktime was a 7.0, and it had to be the 7.3 version.
    I then went ahead and downloaded itunes 7.0 again....and everything was fine.
    but now i can't open itunes! i keep clicking and clicking...please help! it's urgent!
    thank you!

    I had same problem. Installed Itunes 7, installation appeared ok and then I kept clicking on the icon and nothing would happen except I'd get more frustrated.
    I uninstalled Itunes 7 thru add/remove programs. I tried uninstalling quicktunes, wouldn't let me. I then went to explorer, deleted the itunes and quick times folders. My music is located in my documents/my music so it didn't effect my music. Then I turned off my norton antivirus and re-installed itunes 6.0.5 which you can still find and download from itunes website.
    Itunes 6.0.5 worked fine. I found those directions thru google and they work great.
    I don't know how Apple will sell all those movies and games if they can't get itunes 7 working. I've told everyone I know to avoid it. They took a good system and screwed it up.
    Good luck.

  • Please Help! Itunes will not transfer to ipod!

    Hi!!!
    The first time my ipod was loaded, someone else did it for me. Now I am doing it myself, and because i am computer illiterate, it will not work. I plug everything into my computer correctly, itunes opens, pulls up my playlist. My ipod symbol shows up on the left side of itunes, (does not flash red) says that I can disconnect it, but nothing has been put on my ipod (all of my previous songs are deleted too... which I know would happen)... what am I doing wrong???
    Thank you all very much

  • Help mee, computer will not charge..

    hello..
    i just got a new power cord for my Mac. I live in the USA, but i am in Hong kong for about a month..
    When i first got here, my Mac charged perfectly, and now it will not charge at all.. Why is this happening???

    "There have been reports here of the new L-style adaptors not working with older MacBooks. Where did you buy this from? Can you take it back and ask for a T-style adaptor? Many Apple Stores and probably Apple phone sales can still get you one. "
    The above is copied from Jay Bullock's answer on another thread.

  • Help I itunes will not recognize my iphone or ipod. Trouble with USB driver, device not running in safe mode, and HDCP not supported.

    Help! When I connect my iphone or ipod touch to my computer, windows recognizes my device but itunes will not. I can still see my songs, videos, and access the itunes store but my phone and itunes store have no connection so it does me no good. I have for 2 days now tried every trouble shooting method posted with no luck. I think I may have finally found a lead. My Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is showing up under portable mobile devices while it is supposed to be showing up under universal serial Bus controllers from my understanding? Also, while running my diagnostic report under itunes it also says itunes is not running in safe mode, it is not showing enabled in windows firewall (which it is checked), and the HDCP is not supported. I don't know what to do? I am in tears here, someone please help!!!
