  • Tried synching iphone for the first time on new PC and got error followed by itunes logo and USB cable picture. No idea what went wrong and now phone is in this screen locked. please help!

    tried synching iphone for the first time on new PC and got error followed by itunes logo and USB cable picture. No idea what went wrong and now phone is in this screen locked. please help!

    I tried connecting to iTunes and neither the PC nor iTunes recognizes the device. I went through all the troubleshooting on the Apple website for this issue and nothing worked. I've reinstalled iTunes, the driver, everything and still can't get either the PC or iTunes to recognize the phone.  I don't know what else to do :-( any help or suggestions are highly appreciated!
    I would hate to have lost all my info, especially contacts and calendar items since I have no idea what was backed up prior to the phone getting locked on this screen. I've been told that my only option is to go to the phone carrier and they will reset it for me, but that means it will wipe out all the info.
    I hope someone has a fix other than that one.

  • I am using garage band for the first time.  I dragged and dropped a song from itunes into the program and I want to extend the length of the song by repeating the first 28 measures.  I can't figure it out.  Please help

    I am using garage band for the first time.  I dragged and dropped a song from itunes into the program and I want to extend the length of the song by repeating the first 28 measures.  I can't figure it out.  Please help.  I have spent several hours trying to figure it out on my own but have not been successful.  It seems like an easy task.  Can anyone help?

    split the region at the 28th measure

    then select only the first region and option-drag it to the end of the song

  • HT204053 If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad

    If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad by getting it off my iCloud?

    She can't from iCloud without setting up your iCloud account on her phone. But just sync the same apps from your iTunes Library on your computer to her phone.
    Your wife should setup her own iCloud account - which is separate to the iTunes Store accounts.

  • I plugged my iphone 4S into my computer for the first time and then my photos were replaced with the ones from my old iphone, how do i get them back?

    i plugged my iphone 4S into my computer for the first time and then my photos were replaced with the ones from my old iphone, how do i get them back?

    Try restoring from the backup created at the beginning of the sync process:
    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes, go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
    Connect your phone, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears on the left sidebar in iTunes
    Select Restore from backup, choosing your most recent backup to restore from
    Disconnect your phone and confirm that your photos are back
    Go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

  • After using the internal mic for the first time I am getting a buzzing feedback from my audio output

    After using the internal mic for the first time I am getting a buzzing feedback from my audio output

    Go to System Preferences Sound Input and adjust the volume level down by dragging the slider to the left. With an audio app like Logic there is an option for input monitoring when recording so there might be a feedback loop if the volume is set too high. Garage Band works in a similar way. Always be careful when using headphones as the noise can be frightful and cause hearing damage.

    Running Time Machine for the first time, how that I make sure that some information I have in the external drive does not get erase in the prosess

    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    Note: This is now your Library. It's not a Back Up, and you need another disk for backing up.

  • I recently built a new windows PC for the first time. My (new) wife and I both have itunes accounts, which we would like to use under different windows accounts on same PC. However, when I try to download my wife's songs it gives me an error.

    I am recently married to a wonderful woman and just built a windows PC for the first time. The idea was that we would (sorta) both be able to get a new computer out of it as we would each have a different account under windows. One of the first tasks was to migrate over our iTunes libraries. I did mine with no problem, but now that I'm try to do hers, I'm getting an error message saying "if you download past purchases with your Apple ID, you cannot auto-download or download purchases with a different Apple ID for 90 days."
    What's the best solution for this? I want my wife to be able to use the new computer under her windows account just like it's her new computer, to the extent possible. I don't want our two iTunes accounts to be fighting each other and causing problems because they are on the same physical machine. What to do? Surely this can't be the first time this has happened - where two people each want to have their own iTunes account on the same computer.
    This is the latest version of iTunes (12.0.1.26) running on Windows 8.1.

  • I'm setting up my Time Capsule for the first time and cannot get an internet connection throughWAN connection

    I'm setting up my Time Capsule for the first time and can't get an internet connection via ethernet cord

    So new AC model TC??
    What modem is it? Pure cable modem .. did you power cycle the modem ( OFF for at least 30min..)??
    This is essential to lose the old setup and start afresh. 
    How have you setup the TC?
    Did you try just bridge to existing router? If it doesn't get an IP and you just bought it, possible it is faulty.
    Lots more details.. really important things like did the ethernet connectivity leds go on.. both the TC port and the modem port - front ethernet indicator should light up..

    Welcome to CS3.
    Before you post any further questions, please take a look at the video tutorials in Adobe's video workshop. I'm not trying to be rude, just trying to save you from having to ask many basic questions that can be answered by watching the video tutorials.
    http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/
    It is a great resource and can get you up and running. Just select Premiere Pro CS3 from the products window, then select the topic "Getting Started" and finally the title. Start by selecting "setting up a project" under the titles window.
    Its like having your own in-house instructor.
    However, as Jeff said, the trial version will not have certain features enabled.
    Good luck.

  • Wait cursor appears only the first time... unless I don't move the mouse!

    Ah yes, another cursor problem:
    I am setting a wait cursor in my main JFrame when a key-release or a menu item click is detected (the time-consuming action is then triggered in a child JInternalFrame), and so far, it's been working great.
    Then I noticed that the wait cursor only appears the first time the time-consuming action is called (or more precisely, if I never move the mouse, it happens every time as it should, but if I move the mouse, it only happens the first time! Ah, and I noticed I CAN move the mouse but ONLY when it is in the form of the wait cursor!).
    Strangely, I can see the cursor blink briefly when the action is done, precisely when it should be changing back to the default cursor... what gives? If I close the child internal frame and re-open it, I can get the wait cursor again the first time only (again, unless I keep the mouse still, in which case it works great - argh).
    Any ideas would be deeply appreciated!
    Cheers!
    PS - Here's a snippet of how we set the cursor, this is code in our main JFrame, called via either a keypress event or clicking on a menu item - mostly it's stuff that is unrelated, and we simply set the wait cursor as the very first line, so why in the world would it skip that line???? (the rest of the lines do in fact get executed):
    private void refreshMenuItemActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {     doRefreshMenuItemAction(); }
    private void doRefreshMenuItemAction() {
    this.setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
    JDesktopPane desktop = (JDesktopPane)this.getContentPane().getComponent(0);
    JInternalFrame activeFrame = desktop.getSelectedFrame();
    try {
    if ( activeFrame instanceof IDataDrivenForm ) {
    ((IDataDrivenForm)activeFrame).refresh();
    } catch (Exception ex) {
    ex.printStackTrace();
    this.setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));

    almost...
    I now see that glasspanes are an answer to that question. I got it to work (almost) using a glasspane (see code snippet below). But what I can't quite grasp now is why this code does not work when I call it from a child (contained) dialog (and possibly internal frames as well)??? When I do so, the dialog freezes (the button I pressed doesn't even release) and the cursor does not change to waiting. This time I'm really not sure where to go next....
    I appreciate anyone who has read this far, and would really be indebted to you for some good advice!
    PS - Here's the nifty code, placed in my main JFrame class. I just substituted "this.setBusy(true);" for every place I was manually setting the WAIT_CURSOR in the past (and of course with matching setBusy(false)):
    public final void setBusy(boolean isBusy)
    Component glassPane = this.getGlassPane();
    Cursor theCursor = isBusy ? Cursor.getPredefinedCursor( Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR ) : Cursor.getPredefinedCursor( Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR );
    this.setCursor( theCursor );
    glassPane.setCursor( theCursor );
    glassPane.setVisible( isBusy );
