  • Why does my computer turns off while syncing ipad 2 ?

    I am syncing my ipad 2 on my win 7 64bit notebook
    and during the sync process the computer suddenly turns off
    please help

    It should work with the power adapter attached, even with no battery.  Bring it in to an Apple store genius bar for a free diagnosis.

  • My ipod freezes while backing up and wont let me sync anything :S

    can  someone please help me..i restored the old setting on my ipod to see if it will work but now i just have an empty ipod touch..it wont let me sync my ipod because it keeps freezing while backingup..

    Try moving the existing backup file to a safe location so iTunes has to make an entire new file.  It is located here:
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

    why does my iPhone 4 always say "sync will resume when "... MacBook Pro" is available??? i can't seem to sync over wifi

    Try the following:
    1. Connect the phone to your computer using the USB cable and let it sync.
    2. Uncheck "Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi"
    3. Click Apply
    4. Check "Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi"
    5. Click Apply
    6. Quit iTunes
    7. Disconnect the phone from the USB cable
    8. Make sure your phone is connected to your Wi-Fi network
    9. Open iTunes
    iTunes should see your iPhone and connect to it. Go under Settings > General > iTunes Wi-Fi Sync and see if you can initiate a sync.

  • My itunes in computer wont let me transfer my apps to my ipad.  I have the latest version of itunes. Please help

    My itunes in computer wont let me transfer my apps to my ipad.  I have the latest version of itunes. Please help.  When I press sync it says its syncing but at the end the apps are still not on my ipad.
    I need help. Hope you could help me.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • My computer will not let me sync my ipod touch

    I just purchased a new computer about three months ago with windows 7 ultimate.  I downloaded itunes and it works fine, but it won't let me sync my ipod.  It comes up fine at first but either while it says it is being verified or while it is syncing my itunes freezes.  I can't sync any of my songs.  My ipod touch is a 1st gen 16 gb and it works just fine with other computers (it isn't jailbroken either).  I tried using alternative software to upload music onto my ipod, but the same thing happens! My itunes does work with my old ipod nano though.. Do I have a bad driver or something? What is wrong?

    Two things:
    - Completely remove and reinstall the Apple software by the following.  That link provides a link for Win &.
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    - If you still have a problem after restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod you likely have a hardware problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is then in order.

  • Download new itunes update and now it wont let me sync

    Download new itunes update and now it wont let me sync. Keeps saying I need 26gb of free space which it didn't say before I downloaded the update. It doesn't make sense. It keeps saying:
    The iPod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library. (additional 26gb required)
    This makes no sense because before the new itunes update there was no problem with me not having enough space. I have 5gb of free space now and I had 5gb of free space before I downloaded the itunes update. Nothing should've changed. And I should not need an extra 26gb of space. How do i fix this problem so I can my ipod normally again.

    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.
    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
    and as necessary:
    - 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.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    My computer wont let me download MP3 rocket because it says its in DOS mode.  Im 14 so if someone could help me turn it off step by step thank you.

    From what I know, MP3 Rocket is a program that will only work on a Windows computer. They don't make a version that will work on a Mac.
    If you need to convert Youtube files to MP3, then you may want to try Smart Converter. It is available in the App Store for free. Just launch App Store, then look in the Top Charts section, under FREE, select "see all", and look for the the download shown below.
