What the **** am I supposed to do?!

Okay, So I'm really mad now. When I tried to sync my Ipod Today, it said something was wrong or whatever, and said I needed to re-install it to use it again. 'Kay. I did. Then after I've done it, all my music, pics, contacts, and such was there but all my friggin' apps were gone! I know why it was so, but I can't buy them back because my Ipod Id ''is only usable in the czech republic''... I moved! *** am I supposed to do?! Make a new account?! **** no. I can't re download the stuff, and I'm not going to pay for it AGAIN. Seriously, what should I do?

1) Stop cursing at us as we are just you're fellow users. Being upset, however justified, is not an excuse for rudeness.
2) Post in the appopriate iPod forum. This is the iPhone forum. Include such useful information as which Touch you have, what version of the software it's running, what kind of computer you're syncing it to and what software versions (OS and iTunes) it's running.

What the **** is going on????

Alright, I'm still having problems using my iPod as an external drive. Basically, it won't let me drag and drop .avi, .mpg, etc, files
When I try to move such files from my C: drive to the iPod I ALWAYS get a Write Delayed Failed error. The write cache for the iPod is turned on and iTunes worked properly syncing and such.
What happens after getting this message is that the iPod causes my system to become unstable. iTunes freezes, my system freezes so I have re-boot. Re-booting usually causes my iPod to erase itself even though I didn't physically restore or format it.
Apple Support suggested I try to change the drive letter; done, problem persists. Check my USB drivers; done, I don't have any conflicts with other devices, problem persists. And lastly uninstall iTunes; Done... except that after uninstalling iTunes my ******* cd-rom/dvd drivers are messed up and I had to go into reg edit, delete the upper and lower filters for them and restart again. I've reinstalled iTunes and didn't get any of the errors that some people have had... but I have no confidence in this working
I've already sent in my iPod to apple and they claim to find nothing wrong with it.. what the **** am I supposed to do??? keep trying their fixes and keep sending it in until they give me a new one. There is obviously a problem with it. I have repeatedly restored and formatted the thing but nothing...
And why on earth do I need to go into reg edit after uninstalling iTunes?? I shouldn't have to do that!
Update: I reinstalled iTunes and tried to transfer files using copy and paste in windows... Delayed write failed... iPod frozen, computer crashes... thanks for the help Apple...
Does anyone have any idea whats going on here???

I'm not convinced by the idea of write-behind caching - holding data in ram until the drive becomes free in order to reduce disk seeks. A minor potential performance benefit which means leaving the drive in an inconsistent state most of the time it's connected.
Whatever else is going on you I think you shoud disable write-behind caching. Connect the iPod, locate in Windows Explorer, right-click & click Properties, select the Hardware tab, select the Apple iPod USB device, click Properties, select the Policies tab, check Optimize for quick removal, click OK and click OK again.
Is iTunes running when you try to transfer data?

What the **** happened to my notes?

I'm using an iPhone 3GS. Last night, I backed up my iPhone and synced new music, as I do periodically (because I'm paranoid about losing data). After I synced it, I checked my notes and my latest note was gone. The note where I put all of my thoughts, ideas, things to do, etc etc etc. The biggest and most important thing on my phone. And now it's gone. In the backup, it's gone. On my phone, it's gone. In my Yahoo mail (which I have synced notes) it is GONE. What the **** am I supposed to do now? How do I recover it? There is no other backup. Why would it be gone from my mail account of all places? I thought I had that as my last resort. Please tell me what to do because I am freaking out and without those notes, I might as well kill myself.

Don't let us stop you.
Seriously, though, did you do any other kind of backup? A 3GS is pretty old, so I'm kinda not surprised you lost some of the notes. Those things tend to happen with the older devices.

What the **** is wrong with my phone?

Okay, let me start off by saying that I am BEYOND angry. I'm ready to throw my phone in the trash. Also, let me say that this has happened TWICE since iOS 8 has come out.
So, I downloaded iOS 8. First, it took 8 hours to download, and then, another 6 to install. And it couldn't even do that without messing up. It wiped my phone and put it into recovery mode. And when I tried to connect to to itunes to update and restore it, it couldn't do that either. iTunes repeatedly messed up and kept starting over. I tried updating/restoring my phone 17 times before it actually worked, and it took an entire day and a half before I could actually use my phone again.
And now, with the release of iOs 8.0.2, it has happened again. And let me just go on record and say that I did not even start this download. I was scared this would happen to me again, so I was refraining from installing another messed up update. But of course, Apple shoved their update down my throat and installed itself while I was at work, leaving my phone, once again, in recovery mode. Now this wouldn't be a problem, except for the fact that I need my phone. Last time, this happened over the weekend, so it wasn't really an issue, but it's the middle of the week and I have things to do. Also, the update and recovery isn't working. It gets halfway (if that) through the update and then disconnects my phone and calls it quits. What the **** am I supposed to do? I've tried doing the update/restore at least 15 times since I got off work, and at this point, I' ready to give up.

You opened itunes on your computer?
You connected the iphone?
You looked at the bottom of the screen at the usage bar?
I only shows apps?

My DVD player is supposed to play avi videos, but it often doesn't telling me that the file format is not recognized. I suspect it's because it's the wrong codec. How can I tell what the codec is before I burn a DVD? And how do I get a workable codec? Thanks for uour help!

I am not a computer savy person. I just need to plug in and have the machine do what it should do.
Not a problem, but that indicates you have a lot to learn.
File extensions like mpeg, mp4., avi, wmv, etc. are just wrappers. It is like a box the audio or video content is placed inside. The audio and video content must be encoded with a codec before it is placed in the box. There are thousands of codecs. Not all are installed on your Mac. You must have the same codec installed that encoded the video in order to play it. So, while Quicktime does support mpeg wrapper, it may not have the codecs to decode the internal video.
Some programs have lots of the codecs available to them, like VLC, Niceplayer, MPlayerX, etc.
You can also get "plug-ins" for Quicktime that add codecs to Quicktime, like Perian. Although it is no longer being developed, Perian still works well.
Why is it so difficult? Probably because they are always working on ways to compress the video to get better playback.

Hi I went to an Apple store in sydney regarding a battery problem on my Iphone . All the think its the phone settings but my question is what the point of giving the facilities in phone if we are not suppose to use those?

Hi I went to an Apple store in sydney regarding a battery problem on my Iphone . All the think its the phone settings but my question is what the point of giving the facilities in phone if we are not suppose to use those?

Your question/request is incomprehensible.
This much can be understood:
You have an iPhone (model unknown)
You have some sort of battery issue (exact kind unknown)
You went to the Apple Store in Sydney (presumably, Australia)
You did not achieve satisfaction on said visit.
So, throw a shrimp on the barbie while you explain yourself, mate!

I don't know what program i am supposed to open the Firefox Sync add-on software with

I have been attemtping to download and run the Firefox Sync software for the Firefox mobile app to work with my iPhone4. After downloading the software I keep getting stuck because I don't know what software I'm supposed to use to open/run the download. Can you please advise me and let me know where to get it.
Thanks
Dean

To use Firefox Sync on your iPhone, you will need to download our free "Firefox Home" app from the App Store. For details, see: http://firefox.com/mobile/home/

HT2311 After waiting 27 minutes while the new iTunes supposedly downloaded onto my computer, the Finder window did not appear, and the iTunes.mpkg icon didn't appear on my desktop (where downloads usually go). What do I do?

After waiting 27 minutes while the new iTunes supposedly downloaded onto my computer, the Finder window did not appear, and the iTunes.mpkg icon didn't appear on my desktop (where downloads usually go). I also looked for the new iTunes by clicking on my Hard Drive icon but didn't see it there either. I only see the icon for the old iTunes. What do I do?

The exclamation mark means that the app has lost the link to the actual file.
First step: try and make sure the iPhoto Library is working correctly:
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

What is the disc utility supposed to look like with a fusion drive

I have bought a brand spanking new iMac 2013 with a fusion drive. I had a bit of a glitch with the set up of boot camp. I have taken it to the apple service centre and they reformated the drive. But I am no expert but it seem as though the computer is really slow, even slower than my 2009 iMac. can any one tell me what the fusion drive should look like in the disc utility? It appears as two seperate drives!? is this right? Can some one please help me?

My refunded was supposed to arrive in 48 hours. Now they are saying wait 10 days or ask the bank. What the heck?

I received an email 2 days ago saying your refund will be here in 48 hours. So I waited patiently. Now apple support is saying wait up to 10 days. What the heck?

We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple, we won't know why there is a delay. Did the email give any sort of reason ?

I redeemed one card, pressed the "redeem another card" button, and I only get $10 and not the $20 I'm supposed to have. What the heck!?

I recently bought a $10 iTunes card multipack of 3, and redeemed two the next day. I typed in the first code, and then clicked the button saying "reedem another code". So I did. That's $20 right there, people. Yet, when I bought my first song, I immediately noticed that my account said $10 instead of the $20 i thought I reedemed. I typed the codes again, and they all said "code already reedemed" What the heck!? I have effectively wasted $10 through the internet! Apple, I want my $10 dollars back!

You are expecting 20MB throughput on a $150 router? Well, ok, maybe.. Can you check on your router or switch if the port is set or auto negotiated to 10 or 100? That could explain 10MB limit (although technically a 10Mb port is considered 20Mb theoretical max throughput as 100Mb port is considered 200Mb per Cisco). So maybe you ended up with 10/half somehow? MTU 1500 would also be good for that connection I think and to try to get max throughput.

Apparently I have MULTIPLE Apple ID's, many linked to very old computers/emails that I no longer use and I have no clue what they are nor what the passwords could possibly be. I just want to be able to listen to music THAT I OWN!

I am trying to play music on my iTunes that I had burned from either CD's that I had bought & own (in order to preserve the CD from damage and it is all only for my personal use) or purchased through iTunes. Much, but not all of this was done on an old computer, and on old e-mails that no longer exist, and for that matter I have no clue what the passwords could possibly be! The computer that I use now is at least 10 years old, so how am I supposed to remember passwords from that long ago? I am constantly being told to reset my password, but that apparently just seems to compound the issue. One account will not even accept my birthday and my security question which I know with 100% certainty are correct. I JUST WANT ACCESS TO MUSIC I OWN OR HAVE PURCHASED over the past 20+ years, and I don't care what computer I did it on or what e-mail address I used, and forget about trying to recall my password! Apple makes it so difficult to do passwords it's ridiculous! I would need a book to write down every password that I have tried, and apparently not succeeded in using! add to my frustration is that my son put literally TONS of his music onto my computer and used his various Apple ID's and passwords, and it's just a bumble cluck of a mess. AGAIN, I only want access to MY MUSIC!

You're supposed to remember them or make note of them because they are key to a resource in which you have invested financially, just like keeping records for bank accounts you have or keys to your car. It is just that people haven't woken up to the importance of having a digital legacy too.
Here are resources for forgotten passwords:

Whats the best way to connect multiple iphones, ipads, ipods with multiple accounts to one mac

I have iPhone 5s, ipad 4th gen ipod classic and mac mini on one itunes account with iphone 4s with ipad 1st gen on another account (wife's account) and also want to be able to add to this in the future. I want to connect through the mac mini and be able to use music movies calanders reminders etc through all our i's, whats the simplest and best way to go about this, before i start down the wrong road.

Ok, here is the link to the original thread. The key, for him, was that all of the pads used the same apple id, and needed to be set up identically.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15456170#15456170
The other trick they use for distributing materials for whatever class was using the pads, was to create an e mail account that they all had acees to. The documents, pdf, or whatever, would be e mailed to the account. Each kid accesses and downloads the email. Does whatever they are supposed to do, and e mails the done result back to the mailbox. Easy for the teacher and the kids.

Whats the difference between high-density and low-density ram?

I bought what I thought was supposed to be a cheap 256 mb chip (pc100 or 133) but the g4 400 read only 128mb, The fellow in the store that sold it flipped out when I told him I had a Mac and said something about high density and low-density.Another guy in the store described it as being one sided and two sided.
I don't know what my machine needs. I got my money back but he would'nt let me exchange the chip for another, me thinking it was simply mislabeled.

The QuickSilvers use PC-133 SDRAM and are compatible with high-density memory chips (256 Megabit), so that 16-chip 512 MB and 8-chip 256 MB non-ECC DIMMs are supported. A low density, 16-chip (128 Megabit) 256 MB DIMM is also supported.

I cannot work out what the folders in my Bookmark sidebar mean

My Bookmarks sidebar, which is where I store and work my bookmarks, is now showing, below the usual headers down to "Mozilla Firefox" and its subheads, a (yellow) folder called "Temp". This is where all the bookmarks I use regularly are listed. i don't know why it is called "Temp" as i thought that was supposed to be a name for a folder which only holds bookmarks for a few days, heaven help me if that was the case, but it clearly is not in this instance.
It also has right under it another yellow folder called "[Folder name]". This seems to have in it another bunch of bookmarks that I have opened at some stage, but certainly in some cases have deleted in recent months. I don't know what they are going there.
When I download a new bookmarks, Firefox 29 now puts it into "Unsorted Bookmarks" and you have to drag and drop it to the folder you want to use. I have tried several times to do this, resulting in the new bookmark not appearing in the folder called "Temp" which is my real bookmark folder (I do not know why it has this name). They seem to stay in "Recently Bookmarked" OK, so I don't lose them, but trying to drag and drop to the header "Bookmarks Menu" as I used to in Firefox 28, or "Temp", which seems to be the header for my real bookmarks list, either has no result, or else the bookmark appears in "[Folder Name]", but underneath all the old bookmarks in that, but slightly indented from the list called "Temp".
I don't know what the folder called "[Folder]" is doing, or if I should re-name the folder called "Temp" (which is not a temp folder), although I think I should.
Or why it is so difficult to drag and drop. Which point in the list should I drag and drop to? (I know how to Sort by Name, that is not a problem.)
I know that when I download a new bookmark, I should hit the star twice and choose a folder at that point which, if I remember to do it at once, will save me from having to drag and drop, but I still don't know why I am not making the drag and drop work properly.
My entire Firefox setup was imported from my previous (XP) computer within the last few months to my current (Windows 7) computer, but the changes which are confusing me seem to have happened with the advent of Firefox 29.
I have read the Help page before I posted this.
I do not understand the "Automatically add" button on the "Question" form, and I don't like tampering with things I have no information about in case I just dig myself into a deeper hole (which has been known to happen).
Thank you for any illumination you can offer.

You can check for problems with the <b>places.sqlite</b> database file in the Firefox profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#w_fix-the-bookmarks-file
*Places Maintenance: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
Note that "Recently Bookmarked" is a so called [[Smart Bookmarks folders|Smart Bookmark]] that shows the result of a place query in a list and isn't a real existing folder.
* Smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores bookmarks and history in Firefox.
* Smart folder lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default.
* Bookmarks or history items that show up in a smart folder list are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.

What the **** am I supposed to do?!
