What's with this message?
There are four of use who us the iMac we have at home. All four of us have iPods that we will connect to the computer using our own individual account. I often get the following message and I'm wondering why?
Example: Yesterday I hooked up my iPod to the dock to charge. There may have been some changes to the podcast playlists, but there weren't any changes to the songs. After the syncing was complete I let it charge and then took my iPod off of the dock. I didn't eject it from iTunes or drag it to the trash because the face of the iPod just showed that the charge was complete.
Today when I log on, I get the message, "The iPod NAME is in use by another user on this computer." Why does that pop up? It isn't in use by another user, it's in my pocket as I type this.
Thanks.

"The iPod NAME is in use by another user on this computer."
You get that message if there is an iPod (not necessarily your iPod) connected to the computer and connected to iTunes (not ejected), and you switch accounts using Fast User Switching. It's saying that you cannot use that iPod (the one currently connected) in your account because someone else, who is still logged in, is has it connected to iTunes (in his or her account).
If there is no iPod currently connected, I don't know why you get it. If the four of you never log out and use Fast User Switching, perhaps that message is something that popped up during your last session and just happens to still be on the screen when you log in.

What`s wrong with this message "purchase of this item is not currently available"
what`s wrong with this message “purchase of this item is not currently available”,I test my app with sandbox,it always told me this message from this morning,but it was all right last night.
This appears to have been resolved over the weekend. A sandbox status page would be useful. The sandbox does have frequent problems, resulting in quite a lot of lost development time.

An attempt to install Adobe reader X on my Mac OS 10.5.8 failed, with this message: "Run preinstall script for application." What is that, and how do I do it?
Hi renmusn79002737,
Could you please try installing Reader again from the below mentioned link:
http://get.adobe.com/reader
Ensure that you are logged in as administrator and anti-virus is disabled as that might interrupt downloading.
Try again and then let me know.
Regards,

I have brought some movies and they just come up with this message that says it cannot be played on this iPod. I've bought movies before without iTunes Extras but these have iTunes extras and they don't want to sync with my iPod
Does anyone know what is wrong?Sounds like you are trying to sync the HD version of the video. You should try to download the Standard Definition copy instead and sync that to your device as HD content is only compatible with the 4G iPod Touch. See here for more information:
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
To prevent HD versions from being downloaded in the future head to the iTunes Store, click the Purchased link, and then select TV Shows and remove the tick mark next to Download HD when available. You should be able to download the SD version now from under this same page.

I was trying to update itunes on my computer that has windows vista. during the update I received an error message; so I uninstalled itunes and reinstalled it. the instatlation process stopped with this message: "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify thta you have sufficient priviledges to start system services." I have used an ipad 2 since 2011 and have never had a problem with my itunes account or my ipad until now.
What steps do I need to complete to get my itunes account up and running again?Hi Kayleenfromwi,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You may need to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service. This article has instructions for doing this:
How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1567
If that doesn't resolve the issue, I would recommend trying the steps in this article:

"It is formatted incorrectly, or is not a format that iBooks can open". Can anyone help me with this message of a book that I purchased on iBooks, read, highlighted in the book and now I can't open it anymore. Please help!!!
Mine does the same thing occasionally, is your phone jailbroken? Sometimes it will work if you delete the book and reinstall it or put your phone into airplane mode then turn it back off.

Can I fix a disk with this message?
Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.Some problems can indeed be fixed this way. But working from Recovery_HD or Disk Warrior DVDs and working in the restricted environment those provide can be difficult. You can literally spend days working on this problem (while your regular work is unavailable) only to discover the old drive is unsalvageable.
There is no way to know up front whether you are facing a major Hardware failure or a minor software glitch, or something in between. Often you are forced to work from the drive you no longer trust. I continue to recommend you do this work from a different, fully functioning Mac OS X booted from a different drive.
If you have had the foresight to (as The hatter often recommends) clone your virgin install onto another drive for use in such situations, you will be able to recover from such problems in record time. If not, my previous recommendations stands:
Buy a new Drive. Or two. Install Mac OS X from scratch on a new drive, and get your Mac running again. Later, you can use the full power of Mac OS X to attempt to rescue your data, if needed. Then Zero the old drive, to see if it can hold data again reliably.
If the old drive eventually provides some needed data, and is salvageable, Merry Christmas. -

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
