Problem - any help appreciated

So my Ipod recently started freezing up on me. It works still but barely. Since I've gotten my Ipod and uploaded my music onto it my hard drive has crashed and I lost all of my music on my computer. Someone told me there is something you can buy that will transfer all of the music on you Ipod back onto your computer but couldn't remember what it was called. If anybody knows what it's called or if a product even exists it would be appreciated. My Ipod is just saying restore so hopefully that will fix it but I'd rather not do that until I know if I can get my music off of it first or not.
Thanks

Imac G5 1.8 Grey Screen, Start Up Problem, Any Help Appreciated.

Hello,
I've been having start up issues for about four days. Never had any problems before. Here's what happens:
During start up the start up the usual tone is heard. A grey screen appears and the start up process stops. I am forced to restart and try again. After several attempts the computer start up makes it to the grey apple logo and then the fans max out. I then restart the computer again and it finally starts up. The computer works perfectly once it is finally on all of the way. I have tried the follwing techniques to fix the problem:
Tech Tool Pro: Optimize and Maintenance, program worked fine, fully optimized, but did not fix the start up issue.
Utility Disk from CD: verify disk and permissions, permmisions were corrected, disk repair does not work-error message.
Started in Safe Mode: Checked for extra Login items, none found.
I'm not sure what else I can do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

You say 'disk repair doesn't work - error message'. It's not clear, but have you tried booting up from your Panther install disk and running Disk Utility from there? Perhaps running DiskWarrior might help (if you have it of course). Failing that you may be looking at an Archive & Install to replace your existing OS with a fresh new one while keeping your apps & files intact.

Itunes\Music Store Problems -Any Help Appreciated

Recently apple gave us (yes gave) a new intel Imac, after about 4 repairs to the mainboard and PSU on our 1 year old G5 Imac. Needless to say we were quite happy. Well after about 2 weeks and I think this coincides with a couple of the recent updates, Itunes started to randomly lose songs. they would deauthorize randomly and then increment the same. Well we resorted to contacting apple (under apple care now...) They have been no help nor has itunes\music store support. To their credit they have been willing to deauthorize the computes on the account 5 times in as many days. Although the emails asking the same questions over and over are quite frustrating. Currently the symptoms are:
1) Random incrementations on authorizations for one computer
2) Out of Memory error when you try to authorize until 5 authorizations are reached
3) Music Store -50 error
I have checked our router and cable modem etc no problems there, I can turn off the hardware firewall and no changes are had. I don't have any suspect software running, and have removed any itunes related widgets etc. Most recently I have rolled back itunes to 6.04 but still no dice. My wife (whose computer this is) is at her wits end as she is a tried and true "mac-girl" and has managed to convince almost everyone we know to switch or at least grab an ipod and go.... Needless to say she is currently regretting that... If anyone has any ideas please let me know I am currently sitting on $300+ of music I can't even get burned to CD or listen too. Apple tech support etc has been pretty worthless and it seems like these errors are rampant atm, you would think a "We're working on it" would be coming. Oh well Thanks in Advance.

I did repair the permissions as I have learned you are suppose to. The firmware should be up to date as well. With regards to a b\u when the G5 was acting squirrelly the last thing I did was purchase an external HD to ensure that we ddidn't lose the music. Is the common problem the 10.4.7 update or the Itunes 6.05? I have rolled back to Itunes 6.04 but haven't touched the OS. It's not something I really want to do but at this point will try almost anything.

I was trying to sync my 120GB iPod Classic earlier and it said it couldn't sync as the iPod disk could not be "read" or "written to". I now can't get anything onto my iPod, and I was wondering if it is a hard drive problem? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Did you go into iTunes to change the location of your media files? if not you will need to go into iTunes and click on preference and select the advance tab then click the iTunes Media folder location. Select the location of your on external hard drive.

Any help appreciated - iTune compression problems

Hi there,
Just bought a second hand iPhone 3g yesterday that has to last me out 5 months before my contract is up and I can hopefully get a 5 if it's out (touchwood).
Transferred some music from iTunes to my iPhone and on the phone speakers it sounds fine, however when I put my headphones into the jack it's incredibly distorted and sounds like it's suffered far too much compression.
I'm guessing this is possibly a headphone jack related problem as opposed to a compression issue? Tried converting files to AAC but made no difference
Any help appreciated!
Thanks
Dan

FYI - the iPhone includes a single external speaker. The opposite grill that appears the same is a microphone.
If this were a compression or format issue, the same would occur when playing the music via the speaker. Using earbuds has no affect on the compression or format. More than likely this is a headphone jack related problem or there could be a problem with the earbuds being used.

Does anyone know if there is any difference at all in the display between the 4 and the 4s. I use my 4 with no problems but have issues with the 5 - makes me feel ill. Any help appreciated before I make an expensive mistake

Can anyone tell me if there is any difference at all in the display between the 4 and 4s. It appears they are the same from the specs but I dont want to make an expensive mistake. I can use the 4 with no problems but the 5 makes me feel ill and I am hoping I can upgrade to a 4s with no issues. Any help appreciated.

In a technical sense, the differences between the displays on the iPhone 4 vs 4s are vast. I'm mean, they are both attached to 70 - 90% of the internal components and far from interchangeable. There are no differences however, that are noticeable by the user.

I had this issue. I went to c:\program files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\
I renamed my plugins folder to plugins.old.
It recreated the Plugins folder and all was good again. I have since reinstalled the plugins I've been prompted to install.

HT1320 I have a new IPod Touch 5G, 32 gb and suddenly it will not turn on, and will not restore using UTunes. Any help appreciated.

I have tried many times to restore my new IPod Touch 5G in I Tunes and it will not allow me to do it. My Ipod will not turn on at all even when on a fresh charge. Only displays the arrow leading up to ITunes logo. I have tried the method of holding the home button and on button and this does not work. Any help appreciated.
My I Pod was working fine until the day I updated the software to 6.0.1.

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.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

TS1717 Trying to download iTunes onto PC installed with windows vista. Download keeps getting to 99% with 1 second remaining and then freezes / does nothing? Any help appreciated.

Trying to download itunes onto PC installed with windows vista. Download keeps getting to 99% with 1 second remaining and then freezes / does nothing? Any help appreciated.

I solved the problem! The updates orignally were downloaded to the C: drive of the server. I've since moved them to the E: drive and for some reason the Content folder in IIS didn't change the file path to the new WSUScontent folder.
The root cause for this was failing to use the UTILITY designed for this very purpose.
I edited the virtual directory settings in IIS and was able to put the correct path in.
You still need to use the UTILITY.. to fix all the other stuff you're still missing.
In the %ProgramFiles%\Update Services\Tools folder...
WSUSUTIL MOVECONTENT E:\WSUS E:\WSUS\MoveContent.LOG -SKIPCOPY
This problem was caused by moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.
No. This problem was caused by IMPROPERLY moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.

Are there any dialog boxes popping up behind your Yahoo screen?
I have intermittent problems attaching files in Yahoo mail and this is usually the reason. I'm also using an iMac (10.7.3) and this is likely the problem.
It is generally a Yahoo issue rather than a Mac problem.

iOS 5 handles texts differently than previous versions. Resetting the network connections helps, but that didn't seem to solve your problem, and neitherdid the simple reset.
Try deleting old messages from the messages app, then after clearing up a lot, just do a simple restart of your phone. If you want to be extra sure, try resetting your network connections again. I had this same problem. Your last option would be a complete restore of the phone, but I don't think we'll have to go that far.

Recently updated the the apple tv remote app for my iPhone4. Now can no longer turn on the apple tv "box" on/off using iPhone app. Only thing that shows on iP screen is music library. Home Sharing is on. Any help appreciated.

Recently updated the the apple tv remote app for my iPhone4. Now can no longer turn on the apple tv "box" on/off using iPhone app as I used to do before the update. Only thing that shows on iPhone screen is music library. Home Sharing is on. Any help appreciated. Sorry if this is not exactly the right place to post this!

One clue: I have found a reliable way to solve the problem when it happens.
In my network, I have the main Airport Extreme (Gen 1) which is connected to my router, which distributes IP addresses to my internal subnet. The other two AEs (one Gen 4, one Gen 5) are set to extend the network.
When I get this problem with an AppleTV 2 that can "see" my library, but when I try to open it, it says it couldn't find the library, it seems to have to do with a change in which Airport Extreme it's talking to.
If I restart the main Airport Extreme from the Airport Utility, effectively restarting the entire wireless network, then when the network resumes, every AppleTV 2 is happy again.
Unfortuntely, the problem does seem to recur - but I'm wondering if it's because temporary interference leads an AppleTV 2 to try to connect to a different AE, and somehow that's mucking with the Home Sharing. Remember, internet access (Trailers, Store, Netflix) have no issues. Purely Home Sharing.

HT1212 I am unable to get our of a continuous cycle when trying to update or restore my iPad 2. Plug in to iTunes 12.0.1 (latest version). Click update, told can't update, have to restore. Restore fails with error 9. Any help appreciated.

When I tried to update my iPad I got an error 9. Now, I am unable to access my iPad. It is in a continuous cycle when I try to update or restore the iPad 2. Plug in to iTunes 12.0.1 (latest version). Click update, told can't update, have to restore. Restore fails with error 9. Any help appreciated.
Here's the cycle:
I plug in my iPad when “cable to iTunes shows on iPad screen. It says "Your iPad can't be updated, you must restore it to factory settings." That bad enough news, but it gets worse.
Click Restore
Extracting software…
Preparing iPad for restore
Waiting for iPad…
Verifying iPad restore with Apple…
(empty bar under the Apple logo…does not show any activity)
“The iPad “iPad” could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9).”
Notes: I just upgraded to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on my iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) in the last week. It’s the first time I’m tried to backup/update my iPad since the iMac update.
I swapped out the USB cable to a new cable and get the same results.
I also unplugged all other USB devices from the iMac and security on my iPad and still get the same results.
I find it strange that it shows no Serial number for my my iPad 2 when plugged in. It shows “Serial Number: n/a on the screen when it displays: “iPad Recovery Mode To update your iPad without erasing its contents, click Update. To restore your iPad to its factory settings, click Restore iPad.
I prefer to update my iPad, but it displays “Your iPad can’t be updated, you must restore it to factory settings. If you previously backed up the iPad, click Restore Backup after the restore process completes.”
It’s a continuous loop. I get the display on my iPad to plug in the iPad to iTunes, plug it in which ends after going through the above procedure saying an error occurred (9).
So now I cannot use my iPad. When I turn it on I get the display showing me to plug it into iTunes with the cable. Since this is the only option I have I plug it in and the loop begins.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello jaybearden,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not able to restore the iOS device since you get an error 9. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
Check your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can prevent your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't preventing a connection to the Apple servers.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

I have attempted to upgrade os4 to os7. icloud has taken an old expiered email address for which i do not know the password. It will not recognise my current email and password with itunes. Any help appreciated

I have attempted to upgrade os4 to os7. At the end, it threw an error that i had to turn off "Find my iphone" on my phone, which seems to be impossible at that stage as i could not access beyond the upgrade screen.
I thin chose to set up as new iphone, but icloud has taken an old expired email address for which i do not know the password. icloud will not recognise my current itunes email and password, so i now have os7 but am unable to restore from my itunes back up.
Desperately need help please... Any help appreciated
Thankyou

If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.
