Stolen iPad Found? What next?
I think my stolen iPad has been located at a neighbor's house. The reason I think this is that my partner's apple device is recognizing my device (by name), and has given him an address too, a number of times over the past few weeks. I guess his network "remember's" my iPad, since I used to use it there a lot. I do not know how to proceed. I do not know the neighbor. Not to accuse, but he is not friendly, and he avoids eye-contact. He drives a locksmith/security type van. I never registered my iPad, and I am not sure if I still have the serial number. What would Jesus do?? No, seriously, what should I do?
you can find the serial number read this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061

Libthai-0..1.13.i686.pkg.ta.gz not found what next
on
# pacman -S xfce4
I get the errror failed retrieiving file 'libthai-0.1.13-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz'
did someone at the mirror screw up? I'm not really interested in thai so I'm not sure why arch should install this but it is a show stopper now. What next? Compile it myself?see this news item: http://www.archlinux.org/news/482/
i would just wait for a day or two.
also libthai seems to be required for other packages. that might explain why you have it on your system. -
If restoring factory setting didn't work for my Ipad. What next?
Here are the things my Ipad did before dying:
- Flashing keyboard and other random parts of the screen.
- Apps wouldn't open
- Apps wouldn't download
- Would randomly restart
Then it died: Would only show the apple symbol until it ran out of battery and again once it was charged.
I plugged it into iTunes and got it restored to factory settings.
I went through the set up process on the iPad and restored the last back up.....within ten minutes of set up it the above started again. Within twenty minutes it was back to the apple symbol.
What is my next step??
Thanksrestore to factory setting mean getting it back to how it was at first
if you after you do that restore your backup then the restore to factory settings was pointless
everything it did was reverted when you restored to your last backup -
Moved Library some files not found, what next?
Just moved my Library and renamed it. Tested it and conclude that 30% of my music files seemed to reside in 2nd Library which I removed (after backing up). These files can no longer be found by iTunes. I can restore the backup and try to locate the files, but that would return me to a double library files structure whic I would like to avoid.
So my question is: How do I best consolidate my library?
Is this right?:
1) Restore backup Library to New disk and Folder location (i.e. physically add the files to the structure)
2) Locate the files by trying to play again and opting to locate when prompted.
OR
Use the consolidate function once I have restored.
(I donlt quite understand what the consolidate function does - though it sounds like its just the right tool)
Thanks for any advise on this before I proceed...
P.S. Yes I did opt not to consolidate during the move process when prompted by the iTunes system. That may have been a mistake...It's probably easier to just drag them back into your itunes library, and delete the references to the ones from the C: drive.
Otherwise you will have to locate each song's new path.
As you've discovered, it's a bad idea to move file locations outside of itunes. It stores the absolute path to each file, so if it changes, it can't find it. -

I've just found that three movies I've bought from iTunes on on my iPad are not showing up on Apple TV or anywhere other than that iPad. What's up with that and will I lose these films if I reset this iPad?
Thanks. The reason this has become an issue is that I recently bought a new Macbook Air that the iPad is not synced to. The one is was synced to was stolen. If I want to sync this iPad to the new Air, won't it be wiped before I'm able to copy these films or am I wrong about that?

I have a 120gb Classic that has been working, connecting and syncing flawlessly for years. Now it appears that (maybe since an itunes update) my same Windows 7 x64 computer that has not changed other than the occasional iTunes update will not detect my iPod, and therefore will not sync any more.
The odd thing is that iTunes will sometimes see the iPod (not always), and Windows will also sometime see the iPod. Even when it does, and I click to sync a podcast (or anything else) it appears to go through the #1 and #2 steps and says it is syncing - Do not unplug, then appears to finish, but when you check the ipod after ejecting, nothing has changed. It looks like this has been happening for about a week, but my wife must not have realized that songs and other items were not actually syncing.
I have tried uninstalling iTunes, downloading the 11.2... version available online now, no help. I have tried resetting the ipod, no help. I have tried changing cables, no help. every time I go through the diagnostics in iTunes, it fails the connectivity test and says "No iPod, IPhone, or iPad found.
I am so frustrated. I have tried everything I can think of but even though iTunes shows the iPod, it wont sync....This issue has been resolved - my Support Advisor, Edgar, was able to discern what was causing the problem.
It appears that, despite years of never experiencing this, one of the latest ipod updates actually altered my device's personal settings and changed it to "Manual" for all synchronizing; even performcing Factory Restores did not change it back to being automatic.
My ipod is working as good as ever now thanks to Edgar. If anyone else is having this problem, please make sure you check your device's settings in iTunes and see if "Manual" is checked - even if you never changed the settings yourself and have no reason to suspect that to be the problem, as was the case here. If it is checked - uncheck it to enable automatic syncing.
So relieved this was not a much more serious problem. I've missed having my music on the go. Thanks, Edgar! -
iPod nano 6th generation, syncing with audiobooks does not work now, had been working. Sync test says: No iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad found. Connectivity test OK, no physical problems, iTunes shows the iPod. Any clues what to do?
Hmm.. Thank you for the response.
Have you tried using the iPod with another user account or computer, to help narrow down whether the problem lies with the computer, account, or the iPod itself?
Maybe try reformatting it, using the tools provided by Windows. Instructions on how to reformat your iPod can be found in this article.

Just tried to update my iPad 2 to the current iOS, and I got an error that said the update wouldn't install. The iPad is stuck in a funny mode with the apple and spinning wheel showing. I can't power it down or restart it. What next? Thanks.
Try a hard reset: hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

My ipad was stolen this morning; can Verizon track the location of the device an assist the police department in recovering the device? I am filing a police report does Verizon have the serial number of the device for me to include in the police report? I have Total Mobile Protection and need instructions for filing a claim. Is here any other steps I should take?
If the iPad was running iOS 7, the thief/finder will not ever be able to use it.

Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.
