Wont Back Up and says my itouch is disconnected?
I have a nice 2nd Generation iPod Touch (8gig; version 3.1.2; iTunes 10. I did not jailbreak it or download anything from limewire, frostwire, etc. I recently bought some new songs and wanted to put them on my iPod. So i synced it, and it was going fine until it started backing up. It failed to backup and told me that the "ipod is disconnected" even though it wasn't. I cannot get any of my new music onto my iPod and I am getting a little frustrated.
What can i do to fix this without deleting any of my apps? unless there is a way to save them.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

My Apple Time Capsule stopped backing up a few weeks ago and after upgrading to Mavericks on my IMac I keep getting the message:
The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/karen’s iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use.
I have no idea what to do and am new to having a Mac -
Also a friend had orginally set my wifi up to be called "Karen's wifi" and it has also stopped connecting to the wi fi also so am using ethernet connect.
Can someone please give me an idiot's step by step guide please so my back will work again?
Thank youLocate the Time Capsule
Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
Count to ten
Plug the power cord back into the back of the Time Capsule
Wait a few minutes, then try another backup
If you are having WiFi connection problems, you should start another separate post for that issue. -

i cant add my i pod touch 4th gen to my i mac it keeps saying that i need itunes 10.1 and i keep downloading it but it just will not let me do you know how i can add it
Try restarting your iPod. Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Tap the App Store app. See if you can download apps. -
Iphone5 wifi wont turn on and says its not available?
This is my third iphone 5 as my 2 other iphones 5 had faults with them and ive just had to pay £200 for this last one as my other one was out of warranty. Now my wifi wont allow me to turn it on and it says its unavailable. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Hi there I had the same problem too this is called grayed out wifi, what you have to do is to get a hair dryer or heater and put it on high heat and place it near your iPhone screen i
Until you get the temperature warning then power your device down and leave it somewhere cool to cool down for at least 15 minutes then power up your device again and it should connect up to a network. -
Computer wont start up and says try reinstalling the program?
I have a Windows 7 HP G56, and ever since a Windows update didn't install properly every time it updates or shuts off and starts up again a black screen appears with just my mouse working. So to fix that problem I would use System Restore and use a different restore point and it usually starts back up properly, but a couple days ago it shut off and I used a restore point that said install instead of critical update and now when my computer starts up it says "Unexpected Error, Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem. Now when I use repair computer in the f8 section to go to system restore that old "install" point isn't there. What do I do to solve this while keeping all my files??

D4360 won't print and says it's disconnected
I bought 2 - D4360 Deskjets for our office about a month or so ago. They printed fine for about a week or so then all the sudden they decided if the computer was on too long they just wouldn't print. I put mine in standby and it refuses to print when I start the computer back up and says it is disconnected. I tried disconnected and turning it off and back on and it doesn't work. The other girl, her's will stop printing and she shuts her computer down each night, when she turns it back on, it will start printing off the items from the day before. Obviously this is an inconvience to us and so far I haven't been able to find a fix. Is there a patch or something that anyone has seen to solve this issue?

I have an ipod 8generation and i deleted all of my things to download a few shows then deleted them to get my things back but it wont let me it says i have no space. Why?
Hello,
Sometimes that you see something it saves in cache, (or could be that the show is in progress to be deleted) so here's the problem.
Just restart your device to see if the cache of the shows deletes themselves.
Then try to import your music again.
Cheers.
You can use this tool to quickly clean all the cache that needs to be deleted-

I just updated my iphone 4 to IOS 7.0.4 and it gets stuck backing up on step 2 of 7 and sometimes says step 2 of 4. I've got 2.09 GB free and ive reset it and still wont back up. It also says my phone has never been backed up to the computer, but ive been doing it for 2 years on it. My Ipad 2 also was getting stuck on step 2.

My IPod 5 shut down and wont turn back on. people say to hold down home and lock button but my home button doesn't work. what do I do?
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 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.

i had a pop up on my screen saying i hadnt backed up in 4 weeks i hit ok and the pop up wont go away and now another with the same message has appeared and that wont go either, i cant unlock the ipad because of these and i dont think it's backing up properly either
HELP!!Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
