Won't back up now I've installed iOS 6!

Updated everything to iOS 6 ( 2 iPad 2's, a 4 & 4s) now iPads won't back up, error message says session failed to start!
Hope apple get there thing together & fix things quick!

Plenty of space left on it, as all my music disappeared too!
Really hope apple sort this out soon! Was going to invest in a Mac book, think I'll wait & see if
They address these issues before giving them any more of my hard earned!

Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes. iTunes does not "see" the devise. Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop. Also bought new USB cable. The iPad is charging, but that's all it does.

Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes using laptop PC (W Vista). iTunes does not "see" the device. Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop. Also bought new USB cable. The iPad is charging, but that's all it does. Just want to get it operating again for browsing and e-reading.

OK. You merely erased the content and settings. The IOS is still there.
If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures. From what you've already stated, my guess is that you'll end up with Recovery Mode described in the last paragraph.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

Unlocked iPhone 4S won't back up now. How do I fix that?

My newly unlocked iPhone 4s won't back up to my computer with iTunes now. It says it's disconnected. How do I remedy that and keep the unlock?
I unlocked my phone following the instructions I was sent by Sprint, my carrier.
It seems like unlocking an iPhone can cause a variety of problems (or so I gather from trying to research this)

Also, I'm not clear if restoring it will help. I haven't tried it yet.

I cant get past backing up when trying to install ios 5 error (-43), please help!!

I downloaded the update for ios 5. Updated Itunes. Ready to give up after several tries of installing ios 5. Getting same message each time (error (-43)) while backing up the phone. I need help. Do I need to reinstall the update? If so, how do you delete the IOS 5 update? What are my options? All my Apps are updated.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hey!!
After many failed attempts this is what worked for me:
Step 1. Right click on your phone in the left hand side bar and select Back Up
Step 2. Restore your phone and use the option where you restore and update
Step 3. When its done it will ask you to use the back up you previously completed
Hopefully this works for you!!!

Yahoo! Mail won't send from my iPhone since installing iOS 5

Hi,
I have just upgraded to iOS 5 on my iPhone 3GS. I am not using iCloud. (The issue I am about to describe, or something similar, seems to be reported by iCloud users elsewhere in this forum, but I think the causes are different.)
I synced my mail settings with Outlook, so my Yahoo Mail settings should be the same on the iPhone as in Outlook, where it works perfectly well.
Since I did this, I can receive Yahoo mail on my iPhone, but whenever I try so send mail or reply to a message, I get "The sender address '[email protected]' was blocked by the server." There is clearly nothing wrong with the sender address, as it is correct in the error window, and I have no idea what could be causing the problem.
This is a major pain in the neck. If anyone has a fix for it, I'd be glad to hear what it is.
(I should probably learn my lesson and stop upgrading my iPhone software. Every time I do, something weird happens. )
Thanks.

Try deleting and re-creating the account on your iPhone.
If successful, deselect transfer email account settings under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by selecting apply before the first sync after doing so.

TS3988 How do I change my iCloud account id on my iPhone? I changed my Apple ID and iCloud Id on my PC but I can not change it on my iPhone and now it won't back up.

How do I change my iCloud account information on my iPhone? I had to change my Apple ID and my iCloud ID on my PC but, I wasn't able to change it on my iPhone and now it won't back up.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

I have an ipad I used with a computer which's now broken. I bought a new Macbook Pro and signed into iTunes with my usual Apple id and pw. I connected my ipad to the new Macbook but it won't back up my photos or Apps from the ipad to the new macbook. Help

What do you mean " back up my photos or Apps"?
The photo sync is one way - computer to ipad.
You can transfer itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

I installed IOS 7 and now it won't accept my password. How do i fix it?

I finally got around to installing IOS 7 and now my phone won't accept the 4 digit passcode. I didn't think about disabling that feature before the upgrade. Never had a problem before. And yes, I'm sure I'm using the right code. I use it many times per day! I tried plugging into my computer and itunes but since it isn't unlcocked it won't recognize it. Likewise with iCloud. I tried find my phone and it comes up offline. This is a last ditch effort. I can't even phone a friend! Any workaround?

The security is tighter in iOS7,
When you install it for the first time it asks you a few questions to configure these new settings, and I'm wondering that you may be confusing the new authorization scheme for your old password.
When first running iOS7 after the upgrade it will ask you for (not your iPhone password) but your iCloud/Apple ID password.
Read the questions carefully and make sure that you're not confusing the two as prompted. You may not be, but this is my initial thoughts, as the install does not change any existing passwords but does link the hardware to iCloud to further prevent theft.

I was using my Ipod Touch, and it just cut off. It won't turn back on now. It won't charge. What can I do? Any suggestions?

Help! I charged my Ipod touch the other night, I was using it yesterday and it cut off. It won't turn back on now at all. I've tried to plug it in to charge, and absolutely nothing happens. Any suggestions?

Hello Christie,
With it still plugged in, try a hard reset to see if that helps. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. This may or may not work the first time around, so be sure to try this at least a couple of times.

I tried to install iOS 7 and now my phone won't turn on?

Well, around 3 hours ago I tried to install iOS 7. It said I didn't have enough space so I deleted mostly all of my apps, all my music, all my photos and all my videos. It then said I had enough space so I went to install it. It kept saying error over and over again so I tried restarting my phone (which is an iPhone 4) and then it went all wrong. It just stayed on the Apple logo and never went off it. I asked around and I was told to do a hard reboot (I hold down the off and home button for 10 seconds, then lift my finger off the off button until the logo comes on again and links with my iTunes). I did this and it linked with my iTunes but it won't download iOS 7 from it (it says it has "40 hours remaining" or something ridiculous but doesn't budge - it wants to download iOS7 from iTunes when I am trying to recover my iPhone) because after waiting for a while, an error pops up. It's just a vicious cycle with nothing at all changing and it's really annoying me now. Can anyone help? It's getting late and I *REALLY* need this phone for tomorrow.
Please help me.

The phone is in recovery mode. See this support document for instructions on what to do. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Have you run the iPhoto Library Upgrader? You need to direct it to the location of your old iPhoto Library by clicking the "Choose Library" button in the lower right corner of the panel you are seeing when the upgrade starts.

Got to end of trial period for Adobe reader XI and cannot revert back to old version or install another version b/c it says I have a newer more functional version, so now I've got no reader at all and cannot fix. Any ideas how to overcome this?.

YOu need to be clear about the products you are using, so we can help you. In particular there is no trial of Adobe Reader, it is free and keeps running. Sounds like you are using some versions of Acrobat - which?
YOu must properly uninstall the trial, don't just delete files or you may get a mess impossible to recover.

If the Mac's firmware was updated, you can try this Internet Recovery:
Hold down Command + Option + R during restart or bootup; hold until you see a spinning globe (takes up to 10 minutes). Once in the Utilities window, use Disk utility to wipe the drive, then return to the window and choose to reinstall OS X. If that works, the OS will be installed without being tied to an Apple ID.
FWIW, if the firmware was updated, you will not be able to use the Snow leopard disk to install - I just did several tests and it does not work. You can, however, possibly install the SL onto an external drive and then clone it to the internal or (if you have a clone), boot from that and clone it back - I just tested that as well.
If the firmware was not updated, then you can use the SL install disk.

Hey Arjen Ronhaar,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues updating your iPhone to iOS 7. If you have not already done so, you may want to restart or reset the iPhone:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, you'll want to restore your iPhone in recovery mode with iTunes:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

Thanks,
Matt M.
