Any thoughts about my second go around with an I pad that will not charge. This is second go around and I'm wondering if I should repalce or opt out and go different route ???? Can not imagin that Apple could give the type of support I'm recieving and continue?? The first one was under warranty not so lucky this time.

Go to the Apple Store and try a different charger & cable.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

I have 3 iPhones and 3 iPod syncing without problems on one computer.
Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
On your mum's iPhone go to Settings > General > About > Name - put in your mum's name so that iTunes can tell them apart.

Do not concern yourself about the backups. They will be deleted automatically if space is needed for other data:

New PC asks for authorization and I don't know the password

I purchase a new PC for my wife and transferred the itunes library via an external drive. I then auhorized the new computer on her account (she has about 2,300 songs). When I tried to sync her ipod, it came back and said that 221 songs would be deleted from her ipod unless she authorized her account. The authorization window came up and the Apple ID it prestored was an email account she had years ago that she no longer has. My sense is that her ipod contains songs from 2 different itunes accounts. She does not know the password of this old account. I get prompted for "did you forget the password" and it says it is sending the password to the email address for the apple id. Problem is that email address does not exist anymore so I am stuck.
The best I can tell is that her old PC had both Apple IDs authorized and she has had that PC for years so her ipod and iphone has worked fine. Any idea how to get into the old Apple ID if we don't have the password. The other choice I see is to lose the 221 songs.
Thanks

Here's what you need to do. First plug the iPad mini into your computer. When you get the message about iTunes not being able to access the iPad because it's password protected, press and hold the power button and home button at the same time. Hold these buttons down all the way through the reboot until the apple goes away. After that you should a graphic of a USB cable and the iTunes symbol. When you see that release the buttons. Close out of the error message in iTunes. You should now be able to restore and update your iPad mini and set it up as a new device, or even restore it from your backup if you have one.

Am I the only one who wants the "tap to tweet" or "tap to post" option back? It was available on iOS6 but not 7.

I was very disappointed when I found out you can't tap to tweet or post to facebook with the new drop down menu. I don't know if anybody else misses this easy, convinent option but I know I do.

Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

If you have a phone that supports Siri, you can use Siri to post.

I have 2 auxillary disk drives for my MacBokk Pro. Time Machine uses one for backup and I use the other for storage, but I am unable to create a new folder or drag and drop files or folders to the aux drive.

I am unable to create a new folder on either of my auxillary disk drives. I can access the files and folders that were there when I transferred one of the drives from a PC. Time machine uses one for backup and I want to use the other to store photos which are large files. An help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. If I reformat the drive will I be able to access the files on it from the MAC. I do not share the drive with a PC. The files were originally created on a PC which I no longer use. I do want to continue to access the files put there by the PC. I would like to not have to copy them over to the MAC hard drive just to use them. The second aux drive is new and works fine because it was formatted by the MAC. I can drag and drop files there and work with just as if they were on the internal drive.

Hi Craig
Unfortunately, in your case, there isn't really a way to separate them as far as I can think.
You could try restoring from a backup, and choosing an older backup perhaps

I got a new iphone 5c for Xmas and my laptop is registered with my iphone 4, which I no longer use or have hence the new phone lol. How do I remove the old info and register my new phone? Will it let me?

You do not register the phone with the laptop. If you are using the same Apple ID on the new phone as the old, you will have no trouble. Connect the phone and you can restore from a backup of the old phone, or just sync your new phone if it is already set up, with the laptop, managing your content in iTunes.

Hi, i have new computer as my old one packed in and i have lost everything. how do i now sync my i pod without losing the music i manually put there by cd,(no longer have some of the cd's) ?

Hi, I have had to purchase new computer as my old one packed in and i have lost my entire music library. How can I sync my I-Pod touch without losing the music on it that was put there through importing cd's as i no longer have some of the cd's but really want to keep that music?

See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Hopefully you take the time to back up these files regularly in the future.

Have you gone through the process of accepting the iLife apps into your iTunes/Mac App Store account before updating the apps?

I just installed the new CC apps. Since they get installed parallel to the old ones instead of upgrading, do I un-install the old ones with the un-install app in the old folder?

Easyebe,
Are you using a Mac machine or Windows PC?
If using a Mac machine, go to Application-->Utilities-->Adobe Installer-->old apps names and run the uninstaller for old apps.
If you are using Windows PC, go to Control panel-->>Program and Features and uninstall the old apps.
It will uninstall everything related to old apps, but your setting must be imporated to new version of apps.

In between my new iPhone and a old one, I used a replacement iPhone. On the replacement phone there were two backups created. I have a new iPhone now, but only the 2 old backups from my replancement phone. How do I get a older backup on my new phone?

Not sure where you backup to.
ITunes keeps the latest backup only.
Icloud keeps the 3 last backup.

Some of my contacts are not displayed in my contact list, but I know they're in memory because when one of them calls me my phone recognizes the caller. This happened a few days ago, so i must have changed some setting,but I have no idea which one. Help?

Recently some of my contacts are no longer displaying in my contact list, but I know they're in memory because when one of them calls me my phone recognizes the caller. This happened a few days ago, so i must have changed some setting,but I have no idea which one. Can anyone help?

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

Hi mshields1162,
Great question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
First, you may want to choose to have the sidebar displayed for familiarity:
iTunes 11: Frequently used features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
Afterwards, your device should be displayed if connected:
We'll want to click on it, and choose the Music tab at the top. Let's make sure "Sync Music" is checked:
Afterwards, you'll have the option to sync either the entire music library (for your first iPod), or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" (for the secondary device). Upon selecting this option, four larger option boxes will appear allowing you to pick and choose what content will be synced. For audiobooks, you may need to do the above in the "Books" section. For a visual instruction on how to do this, see the following:

I've gotten 60 or 70 messages that that my iCloud doesn't work and to select preferences. The message says I will get an email to verify but I never get an email. I've checked old email, blocked email, and have low filters on emails. Any ideas?

Hey CarolinQc,
Thanks for the question. The symptoms you are experiencing can result from an Apple ID address that has been changed prior to signing out of all of the services. Before you change the email address associated with your Apple ID, you’ll want to sign out of all services to avoid this. As a fix, you can temporarily change your Apple ID back to the old address:
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5223
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
1. Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
2. Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
          - Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
          - Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
          - Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
3. Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
4. Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
