When I plug my iPhone into my computer it doesn't show up at all. Not on the computer or iTunes nor does it charge when plugged into the computer. It charges just fine when it's plugged into the wall .
When I plug my phone into the computer nothing happens. The phone doesn't respond the computer doesn't show anything and ITunes doesn't show anything!
I would not worry too much about the charging aspect of the computer connection for now. I did notice that the last time I connected my iPhone to my computer the iTunes had changed and the only way I could determine that my iPhone was connected was by noticing a box at the upper right on the computer screen vs. the older graphical interface which showed the connected iPhone in a column on the left of screen. My iPhone did not turn on and did not charge. However the iPhone was connected and I could in-fact select Sync from one of the iTunes pull-down menus. Again, for quite some time I though my iPhone was not triggering the computer at all when I connected it. I use an iMac.

I have an Ipad My apple ID and password works for Ibooks and Icloud but when I try to get into the app store it doesn't show my entire email address on the account. When I try to get into the app store it tells me my password is incorrect. How can I correct this? I have been emailing support but so far they have been no help
Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap the Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign in with the Apple ID of your choosing.

Hi, I HATE to ask for help with this, but I HAVE looked everywhere and Google searched different wordings and have not found anything similar nor a solution to my problem! My good old iPod 4th-gen charges just fine in any wall outlet, in any house, but when I connect it to my brand new ASUS laptop that has Windows-8 and 3.0 USB ports using the charging/data cable, the charging process just keeps "blinking" BOTH the iPod and the laptop and it will not connect to ITunes and I get "A Device is Detected" message that keeps popping up and going away over and over right above the Windows desktop toolbar. When I go to control panel and select "Devices" it does show the iPod, but for only a split second and than it disappears, but than it comes back again for a split second and than it disappears again and just keeps doing that over and over and over! I have tried resetting the iPod while it is plugged into the laptop by holding the power and menu buttons, that did no good. I also tried uninstalling iTunes and any other Apple stuff listed and reinstalling it all, that did NOT work! The iPod, the laptop and iTunes ARE all fully updated! I AM using a brand new charging/data cable that I just opened up an hour ago (I've learned to keep a few brand new ones around at all times since these piece of garbage rip-off cables hardly last a week, even when you baby them!). I also tried a few old cables, they all do the same thing! I would like to get this piece of junk to connect to my new laptop, even if only once, so that I can change/delete some songs and transfer a few dozen photos,since I haven't been able to do any of that stuff since my old laptop (that NEVER had any problems connecting) died way back in May! lol. I hope somebody knows a fix or solution! Thank You!
Try on another computer to help determine if iPod or computer problem.

Hi. I just added $25 gift card into the redeem in the app store and purchased four different apps for $4.99 each. I was planning on purchasing one more app at $4.99, but showed that I do not have the $5.00 in my redeem. Instead I have only $4.80?!?!?!?
Is there taxes that's going on here?
I feel jipped!There will indeed be taxes, assuming you are in an area where sales tax is normally charged.

When I download a movie I bought on my iPad onto my iPhone it downloads completely but doesn't show up in my videos, what is going wrong?
Hi adtsalmon,
You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

Hope this helps!

so i connected my ipod shuffle to my apple computer and the status light on my ipod shuffle shows that it is charging but when i look for it on the pc dock or in itunes it doesn't show it at all.... so what do I do???
If you have not already, I would shut down (power off) your computer. Do this to Reset your shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
Start up computer. Run iTunes. Connect shuffle.
If you have added a new USB device recently (since the last time it worked properly), you may want to try disconnecting it to see if that makes any difference. -
My iPad isn't getting connection to internet. It just suddenly stopped! It says it is connected to WiFi but it just keeps spinning and nothing will come up. Have tried rebooting my router and iPad (my other computer is connected just fine).
Try turning WiFi off on the iPad, then reset it again, turn WiFi on again and join your network again if necessary. Or go to Settings>WiFi>Your network name>Forget this network. Reset your iPad and then join your network again. Or - settings>General>Reset>Reset network settings. Reset the iPad, then try to join your network again.

My iphone is gray or black it is functioning but you can not see the screen so I can not call or text or anything, I have a child that is very ill and I have to have access to a phone at all times can someone help me? It happened one other time when I plugged it in to my to listen to music. I know it is working it said something on voice control. I tried the press the circle button and the top button but the screen only turned white?
Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order -
I'm just tired of waiting on this inept device and it's underserved iTunes counterpart being unable to deliver enough bandwidth to load a show within a reasonable amount of time. I'm a big Apple fan and an equally big critic. This whole rig is a big FAIL so far, Apple. There is nothing ON DEMAND about the iTunes Store at this point. Netflix and YouTube work better on Apple TV than their own iTunes Store! And, this has been going on for a few years now, unremedied, and is only getting worse with more people buying these devices! I do not reccommend this device to people like I used to.
The good news is, that iTunes will give refunds about 85% of the time if I explain my problem the way I have here. SO, ATTENTION: EVERYONE WITH AN APPLE TV: If you have this same issue with iTunes Store not properly serving your paid content, do not hesitate to ask for your money back. It's the least they can do for the amount of life wasted waiting for a show to load. Not to mention, all the disappointments with the kids at bedtime and when my wife and I want to just relax and turn something on.
Bottom Line: ITUNES IS UNDER-SERVED!!!

There is a massive conspiracy by cable and DSL ISPs against Apple taking away TV viewers. Is it possible the ISPs are somehow limiting or buffering the data packets coming through the port(s) employed by iTunes Store? Like I say, with me and many others on this forum, the problem lies solely with iTunes Store. Youtube, Netflix, Podcasts and everything else generally serve up just fine. The iTunes Store, however, is a consistent failure. Something that seems unusual for Apple not to address, being so customer-centric and all.
Please share any links or insights you have here so the faithful might get to the bottom of this incredibly annoying problem. I WANT MY ATV!There is a massive conspiracy by cable and DSL ISPs against Apple taking away TV viewers.
Most networks are overloaded and operating at full capacity. However, a solution is coming.
Technology experts are working on a movie storage system where YOU have physical possession of the movie.
This system stores the movie digitally on an optical disk system that will not be dependent upon a congested, complicated, and fragile network.
Because all of the data is stored only a few feet from your television, all the bottlenecks are removed. Performance and reliability are virtually flawless.
Further, the system will not utilize any form of security codes, authentications, or passwords. Once the optical disc is purchased it can be moved around freely at will, and can even be lent or given to friends and neighbors with zero hassles. -

My iPod touch 3rd generation was charging just fine from my computer last night, but today, I'm having to use a tablet wall charger to charge it. Any ideas?
Try a hard reset and go from there.

I had to restore my iPhone 4s and now my recent calls show only phone numbers instead of the contact's name. How can I restore the names to my recent calls list?
Are the contact details in your contacts app, the phone app uses the contact app to put names against telephone numbers.

i lost my iphone and reset it all through find my iphone and after locating it and getting it back i can not turn the phone back on how can i fix this
Unless you had enabled Find My iPhone on it before it was lost then there isn't any way to locate it (it can only be turned on directly on the phone, it can't be done remotely). If you did enable it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPhone disabled on it.
If you think that it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc. -
I just put up a Podcast for our church. Now I need to change the image and check the titles. Also, when I search for The Village Presbyterian Church, Northbrook, IL nothing shows up. And when I go into the Christianity section my podcast doesn't show. It all works. What should I do?
Please post the iTunes Store URL for your podcast - this was given to you in the email you received when it was accepted, or you can go to the Store and control-click (Mac) or right-click (Windows) on the image (or where it should be) and copy the URL; please also post the feed URL.

Can I connect an external hard disk to time capsule? I tried but it doesn't show up. What would be the reason??
The USB drive must be formatted for Mac in Mac OS Extended (Journaled), or if you want to use both Mac and Windows files, the drive can be formatted in FAT32.
A number of drives are formatted for Windows only in a format called NTFS. This willl not work on the Time Capsule.
In addition, the USB port on the Time Capsule is under powered. You almost always have to use a powered USB hub when you connect a drive to the Time Capsule...even if the drive has its own power supply.
