When connected to itunes, my iphone 4 shows up as a device. GREAT - but it won't give me any other option than to restore it from older back ups saved. I went to a Genius and there's nothing wrong with the phone itself so it HAS to be my itunes. Ideas?

My iTunes is up to date and i have print screens to show you what I'm on about if it's unclear:

http://i41.tinypic.com/25h1gs1.jpg
The genius said he'd not come accross this before but i'm pretty sure everything is up to date on my pc (well...it's a vista so as up to date as it can be)
PLEASEEE HELLP MEEE

one more detail, after a restore, when I attempt to reload music to the ipod, if I try and move, say, 20 files, the transfer seems to work as it should but then stalls on the last file. Eventually, the status will change to "Updates Files on (my ipod)" a and suggests the iPod is syncing even though I have the auto sync feature turned off.
This process eventually works itself out, and seems to take longer relative to the number of files I attempt to transfer. Once done, howver, if I try and eject and dismount the iPod, iTunes stalls with the spinning pinwheel and I am warned that the iPod is syncing again with the spinning candy cane status bar. Eventually thisd works itself out and the iPod dismounts from iTunes and the desktop and eventually the iPod is free to disconnect.
Then if I try and play the music I just transfered, the iPod says there is no music loaded.
Ideas?

Perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

Do an iCloud-backup, reset the iPhone and restore is from the iCloud-backup.
Let me know if it works

My ipod 4G won't connect to my wifi at home with new router. Says "unable to connect" and won't give me any other options. Have tried resetting network connections. Help.

My ipod 4G won't connect to my wifi at home with new router. Says "unable to connect" and won't give me any other options. Have tried resetting network connections. I don't want to lose anything. I have tried turning everything off and back on again. Desktop and laptop are working fine. Sometimes it turns on suddenly and I can use it for like 20 mins but then shuts off again. Same thing is happening with my dad's iphone, Help.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I can't change my apple id password because my security answers don't match. It won't give me any other options and just keeps asking for the answers. What do I do?

My iPhone 4 with cash card is slowly emptying the balance of the card. Only Wi-Fi is normally ON, most other things OFF. Are the Apps responsible for this, or is something wrong with the phone itself? How can I stop the "thief"?

I have this exact same problem. One solution is having your friends change their fake aliases on Facebook to their real bloody names, but I realise this is no easy fix.

Will apple refund my iPod nano even if there is nothing wrong with the battery?

iPod nano 1st gen

One more guest ion guys what does the following part from the email from apple mean "Apple may charge you a diagnostic fee, including shipping charges, of no more than one hundred ($100) dollars US, plus applicable tax, if Apple inspects your product and determines based on the inspection that the product does not require service. If Apple determines, while inspecting your product, that service is needed due to the failure of parts that are neither supplied by Apple nor Apple-branded, Apple may return the product to you without servicing it, and may charge you the diagnostic fee plus applicable sales tax. " isn't this saying that if there is nothing wrong they will charge me and they wont give me a new iPod!?

HT1688 I have my phone right in front of me I5S and it's not on vibrate and It's intermintely not ringing, making the text sounds, or email sounds and it's settings are all fine. I took it to the AT&T store yesterday and there's nothing wrong with it

I have an I5S phone and it for some reason intermintely not ringing, no text sounds, or email sounds and the phone is not on vibrate or there hasn't been any setting changes other than I thought maybe I should down load the new 1OS7.04 to see if that corrects the problem and it didn't.

u have to touch your home butto slowly(don't push it).
and when your finger is wet or something like that your fingerprint wont work.
try to put your finger on the center of home button Because the side of your finger isn't work well.

HT4864 I have huge and returning problems with iCloud. I cannot send e.mails and there is nothing wrong with my settings. It started yesterday. Does anyone no the reason?

What is wrong with Apple. This is the third time during autumn, that I experience problems with icloud. Apparently yesterday once again there was an outage with icloud and the problem was solved, but NO it is not solved. I still can not send e.mails and I am probably not the only one. Each time I talk to a technician from Apple, the only thing they do is to uninstall my icloud and reinstall it again. With no results. A waste of time. Please make your system work and give a better support. Who do I call to get a proper assistance???
And why can I not select icloud under my products??

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

My iPhone "thinks" its on a dock all the time. There is nothing wrong with the speakers. What is going on?

My phone will not play music through the external speakers. The headphone jack works fine, I looked into the docking port and nothing seems to be out of place. The phone is ALWAYS in a case (Otterbox then Lifeproof), has NEVER been dropped. When I downloaded iOS6 is when I noticed the problem occuring. If I go to settings > Sounds > Ringers and select a song, it plays through the speaker no problem, but if I go to, say, YouTube (or the music app), no sound unless I use headphones. I'm going to the genius bar soon but I'd like to know if its an easy fix so I dont waste time driving all the way to the apple store (closest one is about 1.5h away from me). Any info is appreciated. Thanks

Thank you for that advice, unfortunately I have already done this. I've also done all the reset/restores under the sun. I checked for water damage in case for some reason it was triggered by humidity (I have it at work all the time). No avail. At this point I'm kind of out of ideas. Thanks again though.

I have the IPhone4 and I have tried to update to IOS but it says there is something wrong with the phone?

I keep trying to update but a little box pops up and says it wont allow me. Also before i try to update it says to transfer my apps on to Itunes, how can i do that!? Please help.

Syncing your phone should transfer everything where it needs to go.
What exactly is the error message you get? You may need to restore the phone before updating.
First be sure you have synced and there is a backup. To be sure there is a backup, you can right-click on the iPhone in the left navigation under Devices and select "Backup"
Second, click "Restore" and follow the prompts
Third, select the most recent backup from which to restore the phone.
Fourth, sync the phone.
Fifth, try updating again.
Good luck!
