ICloud Apple push has stopped working

I have recently installed iOS 5 on my iPad and iPhone with iCloud on each plus iCloud control panel on my Vista PC.


In general iCloud seems to work but the PC iCloud control panel produces an error message "Apple Push has stopped working" as soon as it is opened.


Has anyone else experienced the same issue or know the fix?


What is the significance of Apple Push?

ICloud-OTHER, iOS 5

Hello,


After deleting iTunesPrefs.xml file from folder :

C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes

You'll have to select back all the options in iTunes - iPhone - Infos AND select the option "Replace informations on this iPhone" for the mail accounts (translate from the French iTunes) from and all should be ok on the next iTunes restart ;-)

Here, this tick is OK here with a sync on my Outlook 2007.

Hi Gabby2000

I am working with Windows Vista, so that may be a difference.

I used 'Lukethelad" advice on the first page, I'm copying and pasting it here for convience...


BE sure that itunes is closed when you are doing this and that your folders are NOT hidden. What I did was move the entire APPLE COMPUTER FOLDER to my DOCUMENTS and Viola it changed and went back to normal. But I dragged and dropped it using two open windows. So, I followed the below instructions to find the "Apple Computer" folder, then I opened C:\Users\Documents and literally dragged and dropped the Apple Computer folder instead of just itunes folder. I really hope this helps your situation.


"For me, the solution was to close iTunes, go into C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\ and move the folder called 'iTunes' elsewhere. The software automatically generates a new copy of this folder next time you open iTunes, and since then I have not had the issue. Hope this helps!"

Sadly this has not worked. moved the file and message still comes up. Then tried Coreys suggestion but I have APSDaemon file with no .exe not sure sig of this. Anyway ran trouble shooting and Run as administrator but still not working. Then got angry and deleted iTunes . that's great as then lost my library - oops shouldn't have done that now restoring that! Any other ideas????

Thankyou

Hi Gabby2000,

Two questions.

1. Is your Ipod/iPhone device Plugged in while your are doing this? If so, unplug it.

2. Turn OFF iCloud on your device while you are doing this you can turn it back on later, I had to do this and I apologize for not writing this in my original instructions.


If neither of these apply, then I am not sure what to tell you except you can run a system restore, find a restore point BEFORE all of this began it wont change your documents or files. And I don't think it will change your music, I hope you were able to recover that by the way.

To perform system restore, go to CONTROL PANEL\SYSTEM & MAINTENANCE\BACKUP & RESTORE CENTER once there choose "use system restore to fix problems and undo changes to windows" it is a blue hyperlink on the bottom not a button!! Then it will bring up a window, you will see a bunch of restore points, click on "choose restore points older than 5 days old" and try to find a restore point that you know will help you. Let me know if this works... Try the first part (answering the first 2 questions) before the system restore; which I have used many times.

I had the same issue and tried each of the methods listed on this post, none of which worked. I found a fix from http://www.pcmechanix.ca/articles/apple-push-stopped-working/.


The fix is simply to close iTunes and then rename APSDeamon to APSDeamon.BAK in the following folder:


C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support.


iTunes will recreate the (working version of the) file next time you start iTunes.


I hope this works for you.

1. Find the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support.

2. Find file APSDeamon.exe (.exe will not show unless you unhid file extensions in Control Panel Folder Options)

3. Rename the file to APSDeamon.BAK and agree to any prompts that may appear.

4. When you next open iTunes, it will recreate that file as it is no longer able to find it, and the error message should be gone.
