  • My iPad s frozen with only iTunes icon and usb cable showing and cannot access anyhting. Can anyone help? - Apple won't

    Since receiving a iOS software update (6.1.2) my iPad has frozen and only the iTunes icon and a usb cable show on screen. I am unable to access any App. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction. this was raised with Apple and ticket number advised on 3rd March but not a word from Apple since.
    Thank you

    Try and turn off iPad/iPod and proceed to step 3 of Recovery Mode.
    Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. 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.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

  • HT201210 I was doing an update on my iphone and it stopped short of getting it all the way done. Now my phone is stuck with an itunes icon on the screen, and will not allow me to do anything with it. I tried shutting it down and restarting it...same icon

    I tried to update my phone. The update didnt go all the way through, and ended up freezing the screen on my iphone with an itunes icon on it. I tried to reboot phone with no success...the icon stays on there with no other function of the phone available. Anybody know of a fix?

    Put your iphone in dfu mode by doing this. Turn your iphone off. When its off, hold home and power button together for exactly 10 seconds, then release the power button and keep holding home button for another 10 seconds. Then open up itunes on your pc and plug your iphone to your pc. Itunes should recognize your iphone in recovery mode and it will tell you to restore it. Click restore, and your iphone will restore. Remember that, if you do this you will lose everything that was on your iphone. You can restore from backup later on. Hope I helped. If you have any questions or problems with this tutarial, you can contact me personaly on my email [email protected]   . Hope I helped. Cheers

    Unfortunately, your iPad went into recovery mode and must be restored now. There is no getting around this. You need to use iTunes to do this as well. Read this for more instructions.

  • HT201210 My Ipad is locked with a Itunes icon and a usb plug. This happened during charging

    Earlier today I bought a new app which I played for a while.  I noticed my battery was low so I hooked it up to charge. When I came back there was a Itunes icon along with a picture of a usb cord. I hooked it up to my computer and it said I needed to update my itunes. The update did not work and I cannot access my ipad2  at all. I have turned my ipad off and then back on to no avail. Please help.

    You don't provide enough info to answer.
    What model iPad and what version of iOS is it running?
    What computer?
    What "early operating system"?
    What version of iTunes?
    What "latest operating system"?

  • TS1424 When I click to play my songs in the library they will not play and show a circle with an exclamation point in the middle of it, what does that mean and how can I get them to play?

    When I click to pay my songs in the library they will not play and it shows a circle with an exclamation point within it. What does that mean, how do I fix it, and how will it play my songs again? They used to play before on my Iphone4 with no problem, but since I upgraded to the Iphone4s there is an issue.

    I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

  • Hi! when starting my computer the background went gray with two hard drives in the middle. One is named macintosh HD and the other recovery 10.9. I have my whole life on my computer, and i don't know which of them i should start up? Please i need help!

    Hey!
    when starting my computer the screen is gray with two harddrives. One is named Macintosh HD and the other Recovery 10.9. My computer has never done this before! I am really worrid that my files will be lost if i choose to start the wrong harddrive. Which one should i choose? HELP!!

    You probably held down the Option or Command R keys when you heard the startup tone. Simply choose the HD. To learn what the Recovery partition is please read OS X: About OS X Recovery

  • Gray screen with little folder icon in the middle

    Hello everybody!
    I´m a rookie in terms of mac and last year I dicided to buy a mini g4. It was working great until one day I decided to plug in the network cord while the mini was booting. Well, now all i´ve been getting is a gray screen with a smal blinking Icon of a folder with an interrogation point alternating with the mac os logo (that smiling face). I out the OS cd in and didn´t work. I wouldn´t start from it neither eject my cd. I´ve tried to reset the npvram and also zip. What do I do?
    do you have any idea? plaese help me

    I've done both, starting from Install Disk holding down C and starting up holding down option while the startup disk is in the machine. All I get is the smiling logo folder that does nothing, or the Firmware Password screen - even though I not anyone else has ever set a Firmware PW. Help!?

  • My MacBook Pro won't start - it just displays a grey screen with flashing icon of a folder with a question mark in the middle. Help.

    It started while I was using Adobe InDesign, and that program froze, then crashed. When I tried to reopen the program, the error message I received was simply "Error: 16".
    I tried to take a screen shot of the error message for reference, and it gave me a message saying I couldn't because I didn't have access to the files where it would normally store the shot.
    Attached to my computer at the time was my Seagate Free Agent Go-Flex for Mac backup drive.
    So, I closed any open applications, and restarted my computer. But it wouldn't restart. It only displays a grey screen with a flashing icon in the middle of a folder with a question mark on it.
    I have no idea what happened - I wasn't using the machine any differently than usual, and it only had a few basic applicaitons open in addition to InDesign (like Preview, Text Edit, Microsoft Word, iCal).
    I have MacKeeper on my MacBook, and I keep it clean.
    Does anyone out there know what this flashing icon indicates, and if there is anything I can try on my own to fix it?
    Thanks.

    Seems a uninstall and reinstall of CS is in order.

    May or may not be a contributing factor,  may have kicked in at a wrong time or running root code.

    I have MacKeeper on my MacBook, and I keep it clean.
    Well that explains it, MacKeeper is almost malware.
    http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malware/
    Search the forums here for "MacKeeper" they will tell the whole story, crapware.
    Disconnect all drives, follow the "Grey Screen" instructions and hold Shift key down while booting, if you get into OS X , immediatly backup your files to another drive and disconnect.
    In my opinion you should first check to make sure you have a backup of your data, then just erase the entire internal drive (hold c boot off the 10.6 disk, use Disk Utility), reinstall OS X, same user name, update to 10.6.8, c boot off the 10.6 and Repair Disk (to fix a update error) install your programs and finally return files from backup into the same main user folders like before (Music, Docs, Pictures etc.)
    A pain it is, but you've hosed your system and in the process you might as well rebuild everything and have a fast machine again. So happens to clear MacKrapper, uninstall CS5 and any other junk in your system at the same time. Fresh, clean, lean and mean.
    Learn to Carbon Copy Cloner to a external drive that new pristine boot drive, you can hold the option key and boot from it (even update it), which is a real bacon saver when something like this happens.  Also it's free to use, donations accepted.
