You need to go into System Preferences... > Display and select the correct resolution. Then go to Desktop & Screen Saver and select a new wallpaper.

My IPAD2 has now a little box around everything I tap. I have tried to reset it .It is not working the same thing occurs. I have it plugged inTo my MAC OSX and trying to back up but i am told i need to use passcode. Well I cannot get into my IPAD now.

My IPAD has a little box around everything I tap. I have tried to reset the IPAD 2 but to no avail. Now I am locked out and cannot put my passcode into the Ipad2 so I cannot back up the IPAD 2 when plugged in. It is charged ..I was reading a Foot Smart email when this occured. Help

Sounds like you have VoiceOver (one of the accessibility features) 'on'. Try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut (or Triple-Click Home depending upon the iOS version).
If that doesn't turn it off then you can either turn it off directly on the iPad (you need to use a tap-to-select and then double-tap to activate/type process and 3 fingered scrolling) to go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver 'off', or you can do it by connecting to your computer's iTunes (after typing in your passcode via the tap/double-tap process) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064

Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

My 5C has just done the most recent update, yet I can't turn it on without it being plugged into iTunes through a laptop. However, I don't have iTunes on my laptop because it's my school one. Ideas please?

If you are seeing the USB cord and iTunes icons on your screen something has gone wrong with the update. You will have to restore your iPhone. The only way to do this is to connect the phone to your computer that is running iTunes.

HT4623 so I am updating my phone to the newest IOS and it has been doing it for hours. I have now plugged it into the computer and it says that it is in recover mode and I should restore it? What does that mean? Do I lose everything on my phone?

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

I plugged in my husbands iphone 4 into my laptop and synced it to my laptop and phone with my apple ID. Now his phone has my email address and my name and my contacts on it! big booboo How can I change it all back to him!?

I plugged in my husbands iphone to my laptop and synced it to mine. I used my own apple ID. Big mistake. Now he has my name, email address,contacts etc on his phone and lost his... how do I correct this?

You'll have to set up his mail account again. To change the name, follow this article: iTunes: How to rename your device
After that right click on it in the device list and choose backup. A manual backup will be made, no sync process is included. When the backup is finished you should find it listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices

Plugged my phone in to charge and screen went navy blue, now fully charged (plugged into laptop to check) and screen is still blue. receiving all notifications but nothing is showing. HAS NOT been dropped its only 2 months old.

i was on facetime and phone was working perfectly normal. I plugged it in and left it for 5 minutes before going on it again, as i went to unlock it the screen was a dark blue colour and was receiving text messages but the screen was still this dark blue colour. i have since left it for an hour and restarted it multiple times but the screen is still the same. Ive plugged it into my mac to try and reset the whole phone but isn't letting me as i cannot type the password in. I'm just very confused as to how one minute it was working perfectly and now it isn't working at all. It hasn't been dropped.

I plugged in my phone into my mac and i clicked restore by accident, and it now has all of the things from my old phone. is there a way to undo everything?

I plugged my phone into my Mac which i have never synced before and it restored ALL of my old things from my old phone. is there a way to undo everything?

iPods do not work with "accounts." They work with your iTunes library. You don't have to set up a new iTunes library for each iPod. One iTunes library can sync with as many iPods, iPhones, and iPads as your own, at the same time. iTunes connects to and treats each device separately.
However, if your iPod nano is set up for automatic syncing with an iTunes library that is NOT your current iTunes library, you cannot sync your current library to it without replacing its existing content. Do you have access to the previous iTunes library, the one the iPod currently synced to? If so, you should transfer your song files from that iTunes library to your current iTunes library. Then, sync our iPod to your current iTunes library. You can post back to get more info about the procedure.
If you don't have access to that previous iTunes library, the approach is to first offload the song files from the iPod to your computer's drive, then add the song files to your current iTunes library.
You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
You can then sync your iPod to your "consolidated" iTunes library.

I've been plugging my IPod into my laptop, and then using itunes I've clicked on the option 'IPod'. I am then able to click on the option 'On this IPod' which shows me the music I have on my IPod. Now the 'On this IPod' option has vanished PLEASE HELP?

Hi, This is the first Apple product I've ever owned and could really use anyone's help. Please do not be blunt and to the point, I need lots of detail and some steps in order to understand what I need to do Thank you!

if you want to add songs they must be checked, put them in asong list as it makes them easier to manage

Nothing happened, i managed to get my computer to recognise it and now restoring... but it says 3 hours remaining?! Will i lose everything?

My iPad has a passcode on it, but it got typed in too many times, and now it has been disabled. However, when I try to plug it into iTunes, it tells me it cannot recognize the device until you enter the passcode.

My ipad has been disabled and now I'm trying to get it to work again. However, when I plug it into my computer it says that i need to type in the passcode, but i can't until it connects to itunes...also, my ipad has only been plugged into my friend's computer. it has never been plugged into a computer since then. Would this have anything to do with my problem?

This probably has nothing to do with plugging into your friends computer, but unless you have a backup, everything on the iPad will be lost.
You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
You will probably have to use recovery mode

You can download purchased content again from the various stores as long as you use the same Apple ID, as long as the content is available in the stores, and as long as the content is available where you live.

hi there, I need help .. I have 2 gen ipod touch and I restore my ipod around 11:00 pm and now its 1:20 am and on my screen its the iTunes logo and the usb cord and when I plug my charger in my laptop .. iTunes comes up and this what it saids "iTunes has detected an ipod recovery mode. you must restore this ipod before it can be used with iTunes" so what do I do.. do I let my ipod died right out & then try it .. because I restore it ,... it was beening to slow... so please help me ?

Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
