    I'm trying to activate my itunes gift card but it keeps saying invalid code. When I follow the iTunes support it keeps taking me round in circles to the same page. What do I do?

    I imagine a ton of people are attempting to activate after the update, and the server is getting overloaded. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

  • HT1212 I just bought a new ipod touch from a friend but she didn't reset it and everytime that I try to rest it, it keeps saying "Ipod is disable, connect to Itunes" but I'am connected to Itunes and it also says put in correct passcode?? how do I reset it

    I just bought a new Ipod ios from a friend and she didn't reset it before she gave it to me and when I try to connect it to my laptop it keeps saying "Ipod is disable, connect to itunes"and it says to put in the correct passcode but I don't know what the passcode is and now I can't get ahold of my friend that sold it to me. So my question is: How do I reset the passcode and the Ipod touch so that I can sync it to my laptop and so that I can enjoy my new Ipod Touch?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • Why do multipack gift cards not all activate upon purchase?

    I purchased a multi pack of itunes cards at the grocery store.  I know two of the cards worked, but one of them failed to activate.  I spoke with the store, they say when the item is scanned all the cards should activate.  In this case, they did not.  Now, I am out 15 dollars, because I no longer have the receipt from the grocery store from Christmas.  Should not all the cards activate?  If all the cards are in a package from Apple, should Apple not have a record and be able to activate the card that failed to activate?  I do not understand why itunes gift cards should come with a Buyer Beware warning.

    No, I am a US citizen living overseas, but I am going through a VPN and I am using a US-based credit card. I have no problem purchasing apps, just purchasing gift certificates. I'm going to try gifting the app to the person I am purchasing for until Apple straightens this out for me.

  • TS1292 WHY IS MY GIFT CARD NOT ACTIVE

    as above

    Are you able to take it back to the shop that you bought it from and ask them to activate it properly ? If not then you will need to try contacting iTunes Support (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

  • Why does my iPhone 4 Bluetooth just keeps saying "Searching" but won't show devices.

    When I go to my bluetooth settings, it says it's in discoverable mode & just keeps searching and not popping up any devices. I have iOS 7.0.2. I'm trying to connect my bluetooth headphones.

    I even tried to use bluetooth connection on both my parents' iphones, it just keeps saying "searching".

  • Why does my apple tv constantly stop streaming and become unable to connect to itunes?

    I have a 2nd gen Apple TV, which I bought in Dec'10. Lately, as in the last month, it just stops streaming. It will be streaming content, then all of a sudden, it stops, and bar comes up on the bottom of the screen, showing the length of the video, with a spinning icon on the left, where the play/RW/FF icon usually appear. It never recovers. I'll stop the video, and try playing again, but it will say that "netflix" or "iTunes" etc. is currently not available. It's as if it's getting knocked offline. I check my setting, and the ip address is fine, it is not assigning itself an ip address. My internet is working with no issues at all. I'll try doing a network test but it sits there trying to connect to itunes, then it says it's unable to do so.
    It's becoming more and more frequent. The only thing that works is resetting it, and sometimes even that doesn't work. So, I have to restore it. I've had to restore a couple times in the past month, and I'm resetting almost daily.
    Also, sometimes it just reboots itself for no reason at all. This, too is occuring more and more on a regular basis.
    I have the apple tv plugged right into my Time Capsule via ethernet. The hdmi out is going to an input on my surround sound receiver. I've also bypassed the receiver, just to rule it out. I typically get anywhere from 30-40 mbps when I do a speedtest from my macbook on speedtest.net or speakeasy. I'm mentioning this because my connection is more than sufficient to stream the 720p content the apple tv is limited to. My interenet has gone out in the past, but it's rare. It's not the culprit, since someone is always on line when this happens, so we'd know right away if it was the internet going out. It's always the first thing I check when this happens, even though I'm pretty sure my connection is not the issue. Also, I don't start freaking out, the second it happens. I usually don't look into it until a minute or so after the video has frozen. At that point I usually hit MENU, to escape the current screen, then try playing the content again. That's when it can't do anything, and I'm often forced to reset or reboot.
    I have tried searching for others with this issue, but haven't come across anything. The closest I've seen are situations where people can't stream at all, due to a network issue. Also, it's been getting worse, which makes me wonder if it's a hardware issue. Again, the apple tv is on a wired connection to my Time Capsule, and the ip address is not self assigned, it starts with DHCP, not 169... And, my internet connection is not the issue.
    Any help would be appreciated, and sorry if I repeated myself, I just wanted to make sure I didn't leave anything out.

    I had problems with streaming until I changed the WiFi channel that I was using.  The original one conflicted with my neighbor.  After that, MOST of my streaming problems vanished.  Occasionally, a movie would pause for more buffering and I eventually ran an ethernet cable from the Apple TV to my Apple Extreme (to eliminate the Wifi).  I have not had a single problem since then (except to repair the drywall after running the ethernet from one floor to another).  :-)

  • Why does my Illustrator CS6(Not Cloud) Keep crashing

    It was working perectly fine today and now it crashes when I try to work on a file. I dont have maveriks I stil have mountain lion. What should I do?

    Madaro,
    If it only crashes with a (number of) particular file(s), there may be file corruption.
    Otherwise, something else has happened, either with Illy or with other aplications. You may consider which of the step on the following list may be relevant (you may have tried/done some of them already) and see whether it helps (the following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file; 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences):
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder Other options (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

  • Why does my time capsule not recognize the password when trying to connect Apple TV, iPhone 4s or Canon printer

    I have tried to set up my wireless as before but the Time Capsule only recognizes my Macbook.  I have used the correct password but nothing is happening except an error message.  This should have been simple so what is the glitch.

    Not sure.. but I strongly recommend you start over.
    Use all names that comply with new Apple standard protocol .. ie SMB.. which means the names recommended in the airport utility are WRONG.. do not use them.
    That is especially important for the printer.
    SHORT.. names should be 10characters or less.. if you can manage it.. 20 at most.
    NO SPACES..
    PURE ALPHANUMERIC... no apostrophe, no other illegal characters.
    So call the TC .. TCgenx (x I replace with the actual generation of the product).
    Wireless name.. TCwifi
    Use only wireless passwords that also comply.. only a bit longer is ok.. 10-20 characters is usually plenty.. no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.
    No luck.. do some more.
    Set wireless names for the two bands to different values.. eg.. TC24ghz and TC5ghz
    Leave off the security..
    Test 2.4ghz band at channels 11, 6, 1
    Once it works put the security back on.

  • HT5937 why does xcode give me an error than says "exited unexpectedly lost connection" when i put in a cin input in c++

    .

    First have you tried the program from the terminal? It works there correct?
    What kind of keyboard do you have, a wireless or a full keyboard with numeric keypad?  After doing a search I hove found that the problem seems to be with using the Enter key in Xcode rater then the Return key.
    The full keyboard with the numeric keypad has both an Enter and Return key. The Enter key is part of the Numeric keypad the Return key is part of the alpha kneeboard. Try using the Return key.
    On the wireless keyboard (which I have)  normal function of the key is Return but if you hold the function it sends Enter. If I run this code in Xcode and press the function to send a Enter I get the error.
    In the terminal either key works fine so it is some weirdness in Xcode. Just use the Return key and you should be ok.

  • HT1430 my iPad is locked and even after trying to restart and reset it keep saying i need to connect to iTunes, and when i try to connect to iTunes, it doesn't do anything.  can anyone help me?

    i can't connect to itunes to reset, nothing to my knowledge is helping..
    please help!

    If you've forgotten the passcode and it's now locked then you will need to connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) , and you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808

  • Apple TV keeps saying it can't connect with itunes store. Help?

    Been trying to pull up purchased season of Breaking Bad. Got thru some episodes but now it's saying it can't connect with itunes store.  Everything's updated and all other features of ATV work fine.

    I've had apple tv since August and seem to have had to do a restore every 2 weeks or so, lost connectivity, can't connect to itunes or other errors. the restore takes a good 20 minutes even on wide band internet. it works for a few days then seems to go bad. read something online tonight about just restarting apple tv, presumably by powering down from the socket and rebooting. good luck.
