Why do disconnected devices continue to show up? How do I fix this?

I run an iPad project for my school and have found that some of my devices continue to show up as connected in iTunes when they aren't. Is there an easy way to fix this? I suspect it happened when some devices were accidentally ejected without following the protocol. Thanks.

Select the device in iTunes.
On the Summary tab uncheck Sync over wifi then Apply.

Hey KAYLIEH,
Thanks for the question. I understand that your iPhone 4s is not recognized in iTunes for Mac. The following resource may provide a solution:

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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 another cable
- 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.

Try authorize this computer in the store menu in Itunes. This worked for me. It seems that this is an account problem on iTunes.

When sharing an email the background like corkboard is not there- just black background shows. How do I fix this?

When sharing an email the background like corkboard is not there- just black background shows. How do I fix this?

Check, if the backgrounds are installed correctly in the system library.
Compare with your other two apples
The corkboard pattern and other backgrounds should be found in
/Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Themes/Shared/Backgrounds/
/Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Themes/Assets/Email/
/Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Themes/Assets/Shared/Backgrounds/Cork/corktile.jpg
To quickly open these folders select the complete line above, ctrl-click it (or right-click) and select "Services" from the pop-up menu. Then select "Open".
Inspect the folder that opens and compare with your other mac, if all files are there and if the permissions are set correctly. Restore from your other mac, if necessary or reinstall iPhoto to restore.
If all folders are there and missing theme files are not the problem, post back.
Regards

My VPN keeps disconnecting after downloaded iOS 8. How do I fix this?

my VPN keeps disconnecting after I have downloaded iOS 8 on my iPad. Why is this happening? How can I fix it?

I am having similar issues. IPad mini ios 8.0.2. VPN connection will drop unexpectedly. Actually, it drops coincide with an active application that uses a lot of memory. Such as a web browser. I can 100% replicate behavior by connecting VPN, going to Safari, and opening Facebook. If I don't use an app that is memory-intensive, VPN stays connected indefinitely.

Ipod shows Disabled how do i fix this problem?

how do i fix my ipod if it states Ipod is Disabled?

Connect in recovery mode to restore, also described here: iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
If the issue continues after updating and restoring your device, refer to this document.

Would like to change my home page. I click on options and my general tab is blank with only the ok and cancel buttons showing. How do I fix this?

In options, under the general tab, it is blank all except the ok and cancel buttons. I can't change my home page. Please help.

Hi cor-el,
Thank you for your reply. Before I had seen your reply. I went into options and under general, all of a sudden it showed what should be there. I closed browser and did it again and it didn't show. It has been blank for roughly two months. Just seems funny that I ask a question and after all this time of not showing what it should, it does, to only be blank again.
I have also been trying to update the flash player. That comes up completely blank as well with nothing showing at all. I did this several times the day before I posted my question. That same day I also hit the reset button for firefox when I was having trouble trying to update the flash player.
I did as you said to do. Nothing has changed. Is there something else that I could try?

My iphone 5 does not remember the password of my home network. Well this is ot the case with my ipad. The wifi gets disconnected every 2 minutes. Its not any problem with my wifi router as my ipad and other devices work fine. So how do i fix this problem?

Well my iphone 5 does not remember my home network. This is not a problem with the wifi router as the ipad works absolutely fine. The wifi loses it connection in just 2 minutes. So could you please fix this problem.

Not unless the modem is causing a problem.
What you want to do is get it to work reliably over Ethernet first, then tackle wifi. Power off the modem. On your macbook, delete the Ethernet configuration and the Wifi configuration. Power up the modem, then connect the mac via Ethernet. Create the new Ethernet configuration and see if you can connect.

I want to use Back to my mac. When I try to turn it on, it says "Back to My Mac may be slow because more than one device on your network is providing network services. Turn off NAT and DHCP on one of the devices and try again." How do I fix this?

Not sure if I am doing this right. This is my first time in the support community.
I imagine what I put in my heading was supposed to go in here.
I want to use Back to my mac. When I try to turn it on, it says "Back to my mac may be slow because more than one device on your network is providing network services. Turn off NAT and DHCP on one of the devices and try again. See the documentation that came with your device for information about turning off network services"
Does anyone know how I do this? I contacted my ISP (Telus in Canada) and they did not know anything (not that they usually do).

Why do ISPs insist upon making things so difficult for their customers?
If you cannot get them to understand that you would prefer to use your own router over their piece of cheap junk, perhaps the information in the following will be useful:
http://keithbalomben.wordpress.com/2012/03/29/telus-actiontec-v1000h-hacks-and-i nformation/
Scroll down to DHCP Settings
You will need to log in with proper "technician" credentials. They are provided in the above link as
Username: tech
Password: t3lu5tv
... but these may or may not work. Try it, and if you cannot get anywhere at least now you know what to ask Telus to do in return for your business.

When I plug in my ipod old podcasts do not show up, how do I fix this?

I have updated my itunes. I have reset my ipod. However, when I connect my ipod to my computer old podcasts (even ones that have not been listened to) do not show up. I added these podcasts to my ipod before installing the new itunes. I have over 20 podcasts that do not show up on itunes for me to remove so I am wasting space. If anyone has advice please let me know.
Thanks,
Chet

You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.
