when ipad connected to windows computer for sync I cannot install or remove an app. Screen does not react. Also lost my app store app from the ipad screen. IPad is ipad 2 and op system is 8.1.1. Just tried full restore and still the situation is the same.

For the missing App Store issue, if you swiped fro screen to screen to look in other folders and didn't find it, and did a spotlight search to see which folder it is in and had no success with that, Check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure that you didn't disable it.
You can also reset the home screen layout and the icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.
For the syncing issue, which screen does not react, the computer and iTunes or the iPad?

I recently bought an Ipod touch 2nd gen, (Ebay). It's in great shape and seemed to be wiped clean.
When I connect (via windows computer) to Itunes with usb cord the Ipod icon shows, but the only function you can do is eject. When its in the upper right hand corner and you click on it all you get is a done button, when it's in the side bar right click and your only option is eject, left click has no effect. If I go to "file">devices it's as if there are no devices connected.
I purchased a song with Itunes on the Ipod itself, and it transferred to my library on the computer automatically .
I have an Iphone 5 and a nano that are still functioning with Itunes thru computer so I'm thinking the issue is with the Ipod touch. I've reset it several times, rebooted it, with no change.
nothing on the internet has helped, I called tech support and got disconnected. Should I take it to a retail store? I just don't know where to go next, I'm of course willing to pay for tech or repair. looking for suggestions.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPad syncing stays on step 5 of 5 "waiting for items to copy" but does not copy anything... should I restore the iPad?

iPad syncing stays on step 5 of 5 “waiting for items to copy” but does not copy anything... should I restore the iPad?

Hey, I was having the same problem,, i just got mine to work. Take off everything but your apps (meaning take off pictures, music, ringtones, movies, tv shows, etc just leave on the apps) Then go up to the top and go to Store and turn off Genius. Restore your iPhone (It'll ask you to back up, click yes.) Restore from back up, Let your apps come back then when those are done add each category one by one. (i.e. click Photos -> Sync Photos and let them finish, then click something else like music) Hope this helps!

I just downloaded latest version of Itunes and now my Ipod does not show up when I connect to Itunes, I just downloaded latest version of Itunes and now my Ipod does not show up when I connect to Itunes

I recently downloaded the latest version of Itunes. As soon as that was finalized, my Ipod stopped showing up on the screen when I was in Itunes and I can't sync new songs and audiobooks to it. How do I get my Ipod to work again? It charges up and plays just fine, it will not sync or update with Itunes. There is nothing showing on Itunes that I can manually sync it, either. That option can't be clicked on. I have no other devices other than the Ipod that syncs with Itunes now, I used to have an Iphone, but I don't anymore

I need to update Firefox, but it keeps saying that Firefox needs to be closed first (even though all windows are closed). I cannot install or remove Firefox files due to this problem.

Firefox was unable to open google, and I saw there was an update for that problem, but I am unable to install the update (or any update for that matter) as well as removing Firefox. Every time I try to do so, I get a message that I must close Firefox first (even though there are no windows open). I checked applications to be sure, and it does not appear Firefox is running when this happens.

Hi kshikuma. This happens to me sometimes, as well.
To solve this issue, open the Windows Task Manager by hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del.
Go to the "Processes" tab and see if a process named "firefox.exe" or "plugin-container.exe" is opened. Close any and all such processes by right-clicking them and selecting "End Process".

I have an iPad 3 and Apple TV 3rd gen - all software up to date. I can use airplay but there is no mirroring option available from the iPad 3. Why?

I have been able to get Airplay to work with my iPad 3 and 3rd Generation iPad TV, however there is no mirroring option when I hit the airplay icon - hence I can get audio, but no video.
iPad software: iOS 5.1.1
Apple TV software: 5.0.2 (4250)
Any thoughts as to what's going wrong?

Are you enabling Airplay mirroring properly?
Double click the Home button, scroll to the leftmost screen and under Airplay look to turn mirroring On.

ITunes is freezing when I connect my iPod mini for syncing.

I am having problems with iTunes when I am connecting my Ipod to my computer, then Itunes freezes and want even force quit. I am running my Itunes library on an external hard drive, and when I moved the files over on my computer and disconnected the ext. hard drive, it worked. So the problem is being caused by Leopard, since this problem started after my upgrade from 10.4. I am running it all on a Mac Mini. I did an upgrade to Leopard at my sisters house and the same problem happened there as well, so now I can not sync any of my iPods running the library on an ext. hard drive, so I am thinking of going back to 10.4. Can not have all my music files on the Mac mini, because the internal hard disc is to small for all my music.

Try the suggestions here > iTunes Freezes when ipod is connected: Apple Support Communities
Bonjour may be causing the problem.

As long as the apps and ibooks are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

My Ipod and Ipod touch both sync and update latest CD music added to Itunes, however when I connect my Iphone it wont sync my most recent CD addition to iTunes?

I have my iTunes settings to prevent my iPod from synching automatically.
Open iTunes (without the iPod Touch connected) , go to "iTunes"--->"Preferences"--->"Devices", select the box that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from synching automatically", select "OK".
I would then close iTunes and then reopen it. Verify that the settings you just changed are intact.
Log into the iTunes store and update any Apps that you may have purchased.
Connect the iPod Touch via USB with iTunes open. You will see the icon on the left side under "Devices" as normal, however it will not automatically sync.
Click on the "Device" in iTunes and from there you can manually adjust all the items you want to sync and then select sync when you are ready.
I sync mine this way because I feel it gives me more control over the syncing process. Also, I always log into the iTunes store first, check for updates to my Apps and then connect the iPod to manually sync.
So, to me, I guess that perhaps is a way to "force" the sync but in a controlled manner.
I hope that helps.

How come I can't connect to my website control panel or website email from the iPad? I keep inserting user and pass and it keeps deleting them without connecting. I tried this on both my websites.

I haven't managed to go to my website's administration panel since I bought my iPad. Neither of my websites nor the website's email. Otherwise it works fine. Is there something wrong with the sttings? The only thing I can think of is Java and it's on.

That's not possible as iOS doesn't support Java. If your websites require Java to login, you're not going to be able to do it from the iPad.

I set up Keychain and do not have access to the telephone I gave. Now I can no longer connect my ipad to my windows computer. I can not turn off Keychain...it is awaiting authorization from the SMS on the telephone I do not have access to.

I set up Keychain and do not have access to the telephone I gave. Now I can no longer connect my ipad to my windows computer, itunes does not automatically open when I plug in the USB. I can not turn off Keychain in my ipad since authorization is pending awaiting the code sent by SMS, which I can not get. Can someone advise how to get rid of Keychain. Should I cancel my icloud account?

I appreciate your help.
Have reset the ipad, but that changed nothing. I can not turn off Keychain, iit remains "pending approval". Probably, the only thing to do is to close my icloud account...which I hate to do since there is a lot of data saved there. But, I am unable to back the ipad up on my Windows 8 computer because itunes no longer opens when the ipad is attached.
Oh well...computers are computers and it is impossible to cover 100% of the situations.
Keychain iss not the best app for someone who lives in 3 different countries.
Thanks

I connected iPad to someone else's windows computer to charge it. Their iTunes came up, and I hit cancel. Now none of my purchased apps work. What can I do?

Okay, then what you will need to do is plug your ipad back into your friends computer; you may have to sync it with his computer, but thats okay. When it is plugged in, click the update button. This will take about an hour, maybe more if your friend has slow internet. Once it is updated, reset your ipad. When your ipad is reset, sign into your apple id. You can now use a feature called icloud (brand new in ios 5) to download all of your apps and music you purchased back to your ipad. You may lose some things if they were not purchased from apple, but is is better than not being able to use it at all (I think).
If you already have ios5, then this is unnecessary (it says you are using an ipad running ios4)

When ipad connected to windows computer for sync I cannot install or remove an app. Screen does not react. Also lost my app store app from the ipad screen
