Actually, I suspect you did something with TinkerTool, anyway way back when I played around with it, when it was free, I seem to remember it allowed you to make the Dock transparent. So launch it, and go to its Help section and see what you can find.

If its stuck in recovery mode then you have to restore it. Hopefully you had a recent backup on Icloud or on your computer that you can apply after restoring it. If so then you shouldn't loose your data.
Just connect it to Itunes and restore it. After it will promt you when your done to restore from backup or as new. If its on icloud unplug the phone and go through the intro screen till you get the same prompt. Sign into icloud and restore backup.

HT3275 Time machine error, backup disk image "/volumes/data-1/.sparesbundle " already in use. I don;t know what this means, can someone help?

My Mac mini time capsule is showing an error Time machine error, backup disk image "/volumes/data-1/.sparesbundle " already in use. I don;t know what this means, can someone help?

I had a similar problem and I solved it as follows -
In Time Machine - > I deselected time capsule Data Disk as a destination.
Then I pulled the power plug on the Time Capsule, twiddled my thumbs for 15 secs, plugged the power back in.
Went back t Time Machine -> Re-Added the Time Capsule Data Disk as destination. And then tested by selecting Backup Now.
All went well and the backup picked up from before the problem.
BTW - I also have a USB drive connected to Time Capsule that is an alternate disk for Time Machine to backup.
In Mountain Lion the GUI lets you add more than one Time Machine backup destinations very easily so I think it a good idea to have redundancy.
Hope this helps.

IPhone stuck in recovery mode after failed update.

Hi, I have a bad situation here... My iPhone 5 got stuck in recovery mode after I tried to update to iOS 7.1.1 from 7.0.4 and it failed (error code 6). If this was my iPod touch I would just restore it because all I have is music, but this iPhone has all my sisters graduation photos, important photos, important school documents, contacts, app data, videos from concerts. Etc. I was wondering if I could get the photos off the phone before restoring it, because they are important. I know I should've backed up my photos and made a backup of the phone, but I've been really busy with a lot of stuff. So I was just wondering if there is any way to get the photos and app data back. The app data doesn't really matter but the photos do. The device was not jailbroken or hacked in any way.
If you could help, tell me ASAP.

When your phone is in recovery mode, it's like it crashed. The only way that you can get it out of recovery mode is by restoring, and this erases all your data as well.
You can believe what you wish by "reading all over the internet". This is Apple's technical support forum. We do know what we're talking about.
since you have very important photos on your phone, why haven't you been importing them to your computer as soon as possible after taking them? This is how the phone is meant to be used. Keeping critical data on only a device which can be easily stolen, dropped and broken is just plain foolish. Also, did you not back up your phone (as you should be doing with any computer) before attempting any operating system update? As you've now just painfully learned, updates do not always go as planned.
I'm sorry for your data loss, but let this be a very important lesson. BTW, when was the last time you backed up your computer? I'm sure you have important data on your computer. Hard drives WILL fail.

Ipod stuck in recovery mode after software update

My ipod is suck in recovery mode after software upgrade ios 6. No matter what I did it's still stuck and itunes doesn't recognized it.

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 iPod 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.

My ipad screen has gone black but I can still touch the screen and unlock it and do things. I don't know what's wrong can someone help

My ipad screen has gone black and I don't know what to do the screen still works and I can still unlock it and I can still type. But I don't know what to do can anyone help me it will be much appreciated

If the reset doesn't do it then it's possible that the backlight or another part of your screen has broken. Unfortunately it's not really user servicible. I'd make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out. If your device is still under warranty and they don't determine that the damage was the result of 'abuse or neglect' (their words) then it could be a free replacement.
I'd just do a backup before you take it in, just in case.

It also happens on my iPad and MacBook Pro because I use the same email address on them both. Please someone help me. It's only the apple emails by the way.

Your password was sent to your emergency email address. Perhaps you have an email you never use? I use the free email from my cable TV account as my emergency email.
Your Apple account and cloud account are separate. You could even have completely different user and password. Most of us use the same user ID and password, but they are not the same thing, don't mix them up.
If you can't retrieve emergency email, you will have to call apple support.

IPhone 4 in recovery mode after failed update with most recent software (3/25/13), I only have the past 30 days worth of photos and my contacts in iCloud, how do I get the rest of my pictures off of my phone? I have read the apple article already.

Basically headline says it all, my phone is in recovery mode following a failed update through the phone and I want all my photos back. I have already read the "iOS: Unable to Update or Restore" and it indicates that when restoring through iTunes, you lose all data on the phone. I have checked my iCloud (I am a Windows7 user so uploading does not happen automatically, as I unfortunately just figured out) and it only will upload my past 30 days of photos and contacts, inline with what I've read about the cloud only storing 30 days of your past data. I really would like to get all of my photos off of my phone, I had photostream activated and most were in that stream. Is there anything I can do? I don't know what operating system is on there currently, but I have always updated my phone succesfully until today when this happened, so I'm assuming whatever is most up to date until today is the OS it has. Thank you!

Ipad 2 stuck in recovery mode after io6 update

I have waited for months to update to io6 because I have been busy, and now that I have, I'm stuck in recovery mode giving me a (-1) error. Some say that's a hardware error, but it can't be because it coincided with the update to ios6. Here's what I've tried:
Rebooting everything
Tried to recover from mac.
Tried to recover from windows.
Tried to recover using different router without wifi.
Placed in DFU mode.
Did hard reset.
Tried to hard reset with uplugging cord during download then reattaching.
Tried tiny umbrella.
Tried using different cord.
Have the latest version of Itunes.
Went into terminal and deleted file after # that some kid on you tube said to do.
I'm at my end of searching. Any suggestions???? I know it can't be hardware because it did this immediatly following the ios 6 update. Thanks,

When you do an iOS update certain parts of the hardware are used that aren't normally used. If these fail then you can get an error (-1). The error occurs not because of the content of iOS 6 but the update process itself.
If you can't get out of recovery mode with all that you have tried then your iPad likely has a hardware problem and needs replacement. Hopefully you are still under warranty.

If you're in recovery mode, all data on the phone is already lost.
It has always been very basic knowledge to ensure ALL your data are backed up before attempting to update any computerized device, be it a phone, a computer, a tablet, anything. I hope you have done this, because if you didn't your data are gone.

IPod in recovery mode after installing update!!!

I connected my 30 gig, 5th gen. iPod to my computer, and it recognized it. I clicked on 'check for update', of which there was one, ironically described as "bug fixes". After the update, my iPod restarted itself and is now in recovery mode. However, when I look under 'My Computer', it still recognizes my iPod by the name I gave it, and all of my photos are still intact and viewable in this mode. I have tried changing the drive letter and reinstalling iTunes, but both my iPod and iTunes are still giving me the recovery mode message.

Funny you should say that, and i'm so glad that i looked in here, as i first thought that it was something that i had done wrong, but now i am starting to wonder.
I have a similar problem with the 30gb ipod, i loaded everything ok onto my computer, even got to put some music on my ipod!
the next day i decided to re-arrange some tracks and remove some music that i no longer listen to. at this point I also recieved the update called "bug fixes" and since then the actual ipod says to connect to my computer and use itunes to restore, I have done this, and itunes goes through the process of restoring, says it has finished, and as soon as the ipod icon re-appears, it says that my ipod is in recovery mode and i need to restore.
I have done this now about 20 times, and i have tried various procedures that have been suggested on the web page, which includes removing and re-installing itunes, assign a new drive letter to the ipod, reinstalling the drivers.
I have tried everything that i can find with any relevance, but as i am not an IT technician, i dont want to keep trying things that i don't really understand.
Please help, as I want to listen to my music on this expensive music player, like i should be able to!
thanks in advance

Iphone in recovery mode after software update

Hello, I have just downloaded and upgraded my software on iphone 4.
It seemed to have taken about 2-3 hours.
There was an error (which I missed) and now I have on my phone the white apple sign, on my itunes it says - "Itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. You must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes.
My only option on itunes is to restore to original settings, which Im guessing I will lose all my data etc?
Does anyone know of an alternative solution?
I have held down the home and power button but no luck.
Please help!

Try the steps:
How to perform a recovery-mode restore
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is already showing the "Connect to iTunes" screen, please go to step 5.
Connect your USB cable to your computer but not to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until step 3.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button down, connect the USB cable to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen. When this screen appears, you can release the Home button:
Note: If the image of a battery appears, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again. If you don't see the Connect to iTunes screen, try these steps 1 through 4 again.
iTunes should automatically open and display the following message:
"iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
Note: If iTunes not open after two minutes, please open iTunes yourself.
Use iTunes to restore the device.
