Strange Recognition Problem - FAQs and guides have been unable to help
I recently bought a new PC. My ipod is only recognized by windows when I initially boot the computer and it is plugged in. At that point it is properly recognized by windows and itunes. However, if i disconnect it and later reconnect it, windows nor itunes can connect/detect. I get an error message saying that the USB device is not recognized.
I have used the 5 Rs to solve this problem and done pretty much everything included in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=418926&tstart=0
including downloading new USB drivers and restoring my ipod. Still, it works perfectly when I bootup but I cant disconnect it at any point or I wont be able to reconnect it without a reboot.
Third Gen Ipod 15GB Windows XP Pro
The only other thought I have is to try connecting it to another machine, Windows or Mac, and see if the problem is still there.
If not, your computer has some kind of hardware difference the iPod doesn't like. If the problem occurs on another machine, your iPod has some issue :-/.
Sorry I wasn't able to help more!
Best of luck getting things worked out.

"apple mobile device failed to start" "verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services" came up on windows XP upgrade to 11.1.4 and since have been unable to open itunes - uninstalled and tried reinstall to no avail - what to do ? Ken
I am having this same problem. I took Kappy advice on restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service, however that did not work. I got this message in a pop up window that came up immediately.
Windows could not start the Apple Mobil Device Service on local computer.
Error 1053 The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
I have already uninstalled itunes, all the related programs and I cannot reinstall, this Apple Mobil Device message stops the install.
Can anyone please help? -
I purchased the 30 day subscription of Adobe Pro for my Mac Air and downloaded the app and opened it as instructed. Nothing appears to happen after that and I have been unable to use Adobe Pro thus far.
I previously downloaded a trial version of Adobe Pro and had used it the last 30 days. Today I just clicked on the link from my purchase confirmation and downloaded some type of installer. Once I clicked on the installer and gave it permission to do whatever it needed to do, it just sort of stalled. I am running Mac OS Yosemite. I thought Yosemitie might be part of the problem because it has given me occasional problems with Word and some other programs.

Getting support through this site is terrible. Having said that I have been trying to access the store in order to order PS CC and I have been unable to connect. I have an internet connection that works with everyone else. The URL comes up in the browse window and the address simply hangs. This has been going on for the past three hours.

Question!
We had the iphoto icon loaded in our sidebar and we have lost this icon along with over 4000 photos.
How can we find this icon with all our photos? And are we able to retrive them!Hey Ralph and the rest,
I really appreciate everyone's imput for our original post so far and was hoping to have some positive news for y'all but unfortunately we are unable to retrive these photos from anywhere.
We have tried to retrive the icon in Finder and Applications but have been unsuccessful. We also
tried looking for the icon in every application within the imac but unfortunately still no success.
I know we would've, should've, could've but we never and this is the result of loosing all these precious
photos.
If anyone has any other ideas other than taking it to the experts we would greatly greatly appreciate this.
Regards

I have a black dialog box on my display that I cannot get rid of. I was cleaning my keyboard and must have hit some combination of keys that caused it. It shows text announcing everything I open on the display or am looking at. Can anyone help me turn this off? Thanks.
Hi there francone,
It sounds like you may have the Picture-in-Picture Zoom option enabled. Take a look at the article below for more information as well as how to disable it.

When I first went to do a search using the search box on the right side of the toolbar I noticed it had a different icon. It was so so small I did not recognize it as Ebay until I hit search and it was then I realized my search tool had somehow been changed. The only use my wife had made of the computer since the prior evening was to view an email from the president of a local charity sending an updated roster of officers. I did look at the user profile file and saw that it showed the profile changed as of 7:46 am which was when my wife looked at the email. I tried deleting the file but firefox would not run without it so I restored the file. Our internet security program is Avast.
Here's a simple explanation of how to fix the problem:

Worked for me today!! (Even when opening a new browser window.)

At the top of the page, between the address of the page I'm on and the tabs that are open is a line that starts with "Most Visited" and also includes Amazon, aBay, Yahoo, etc., all of which I want to keep. But there are also a number of other links that I don't want but can't find a way to delete. I've looked at suggestions til my eyes bugged out of my head, but nothing I've found allows me to get rid of them. Only one of them is something I saved, but it is no longer usable.
The mouse that came with my Mac does not have a right click feature. When I try to highlight and click, it just opens the link I don't want anymore. What I want to do is remove unwanted links from the top bar. For example, I no longer use GoodSearch or myEarthLink, but I can't delete them. There are also some links that never should have found their way up there, and I don't know how they ended up there, and I can't remove them either. I've read through a ton of questions and answers, and I can't find one that addresses the problem. With my Safari browser, all I have to do to remove an unwanted link is to click and drag it to the trash. It doesn't appear to work that way with Firefox, to my chagrin. I hope this better explains my question. Maybe that will give you a better insight into a solution.

Help!
My kids IPOD touch has a drained battery. Usually I charge it and all is rosey. Not this time its showing no signs of life at all. Does anyone have any ideas please? Many thanksTry a different charger. If that doesn't work, hold down the home and power buttons down at the same time for 10 seconds while the iPod is on the charger and see if it shows any signs of life. If none of the above work, you should set up a Genius Bar appointment at your locla Apple store. If you don't have a local Apple Store, you should call Apple customer support to get a replacement iPod.

easy transfer
wireless transfer
via external hard drive
I still cannot transfer these books to my laptop. I paid a lot when the book first came out and do not want to pay again. how can we fix this??? I also have an ipod nano that I still use.Therefore, t there any way to just completely delete all the old backup data out of my Time Capsule from my prior Mac Laptop?
Here is how to do this:
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Disks icon at the top of the AirPort Utility window
Click the Disks tab below the icons
Click Erase
The "Quick Erase" option will only take a moment or two
Now you can backup your MacBook Pro. If you connect an Ethernet cable from the MBP to one of the LAN <-> ports on the TC, the first backup will go 3-5 times faster than wireless.
Once you have the first backup done, you can use wireless for subsequent backups since they will only take a few minutes -
Sometimes when moving the cursor the window size on certain sites reduces or increases. This happens randomly and I am not able to make it happen to change the size of the screen to my choice. The window on a particular site is now so huge I am unable to use features on there as they do not come into view on my window at all. Please help me on how to control this feature or in other words how do I increase or decrease the window size manually.

I have been unable to open pdfs, screen is black
I recently got a new MacBook Pro and I have been unable to open pdfs from the internet, the screen becomes black after I trust the website. What's up with that?
Try downloading any free app (you can delete it later). This will re-authorize the iTunes account on your phone and will often fix this issue.
