Only the original cellular provider can authorize unlocking. You will need to contact them to determine if they offer unlocking and if the phone qualifies.

    Doing the following wouldn't hurt either:
    delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.

    launch iWeb and try again.

  • Could firefox developers use some other company besides google to block attack sites and web forgeries. Google are leaving zombie cookies.

    Google is using the the "Block reported attack sites" and "Block reported web forgeries" to leave a zombie cookie. This setting is under Menu/Preferences/Security. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/self-destructing-cookies/reviews/676076/
    Could the developers please use some other service besides google to perform this function? I want to block these issues but I don't trust google. What has google done for firefox anyway?

    If you discover anyone else offering reputation data that Mozilla could use, I'm sure someone would look into it. But I think Microsoft and the security companies might not be inclined to offer theirs for free...

  • TS4062 my iphone 4 has mild water damage and will not sync with cable.I want to sync it over wifi to reload data I deleted during my troubleshooting, but I did not set up for wifi sync before the damage. Is there a way that this can be done now ?

    My iphone 4 has mild water damage. As a result, it will not sync with it's former XP computer with the cable. I deleted the phone's data in the troubleshooting process. I want to get it back by syncing over wifi, but I did not set up this capability before the damage occured.is there another way to initiate this feature ? I can tell that they are connecting in the cloud because an app I just downloaded on the phone is showing up in itunes on the computer.

    You don't need to access your e-mail account, just get into your Apple account and change the e-mail address. If you can't access your Apple account, then you have a bigger issue to contend with.

  • Can't get brand new WRT610N to work with Billion 7404 VGOM

    I already posted this on whirlpool, here are my posts:
    Hey All,
    Just bought a LinkSys WRT610n and I can't get the darned thing to work with my Billion 7404VGOM.
    At the moment I just want to network my pc to the LinkSys, LinkSys connects to my 7404 which is connected to the internet.
    I've tried using DHCP automatic connection with the WRT610N, but it just doesn't talk route any traffic to the 7404...and thus nothing to the internet.
    All cables and plugged in correctly, I tried the auto setup also but just can't figure the thing out.
    Any suggestions?
    Cheers,
    Ken
    I can't ping my 7404 modem from my PC when connected through the WRT610N. I can ping the WRT610N successfully, but when trying to ping the 7404 the WRT returns "Destination Host Unreachable"
    7404 is function fine if I just connect to it directly though.
    I don't understand, even If I couldn't get DHCP info working or syncing between both devices, it should still be able to ping it.....?
    Right, I just plugged in my netbook via network cable into the "Internet" port on my WRT610N. I try to ping the router using this (it doesn't get any DHCP settings from the router, so I just set it manually and use the WRT as default gateway ip)...I just get request timed out.
    I should be able to do this right?....starting to think my WRT610n has a dodgy "Internet" port.
    Any suggestions?

    If you connect your notebook via network cable into the "Internet" port on the WRT610N and if you ping the router it will not reply...also your Notebook will get any DHCP setting with this connection...However what exactly is Billion 7404VGOM ? A modem i guess!! Who is your ISP ?

  • I bought a brand new mac after Apple said I had ruined my MBP with water damage- but now it works fine?

    I'm a little bit confused here. I bought the latest Macbook Pro before university late September 2011, and unfortunately had a little accident involving a leaky bottle of juice.
    I dried it out as much as I could, and took it to my nearest Apple store two days later, where, to my dismay the guys at the Genius bar said it was broken beyond a reasonably priced repair. I was faced with an estimated £800+ bill, or the option to buy a new one.
    As I was going back to Uni for my last term, I needed a computer of some kind and hastily bought the new one. Instead of having it repaired, I stretched an extra £100 on the repair bill and bought the Macbook Air.
    The guy who served me thought it was a good idea for me to buy a new one (obviously) and kept reminding me that even if I do get it repaired, the 'corrosion' could spread and it might need repairing again.
    The problem throughout all of this is after spending ANOTHER £1000 only a few months after buying the first macbook, I am typing on the so called 'water damaged' macbook right now.
    They told me it was completely busted, but apart from cosmetic water marks on the screen I am failing to see what's wrong with it.
    Have I been ripped off? Can I sell the water damaged MBP?
    I hope someone can help me!

    As far as selling it, I don't know what you would get for it.  I know in my opinion if I was going to buy it and it worked, if it didn't look really bad, I MIGHT buy it, but that would really mean taking a look at it and seeing what is in store and what kind of condition it is in at the moment.  The thing with liquid, it does weird stuff when mixed with electronics.  I once had a portable gaming system that I spilled some pop on.  It didn't work right away because everything was still wet and liquid and electronics don't mix well.  However, after letting it dry off, it worked great.  Only problem I had with it at that point were the buttons started to stick.  And when they stuck, they would cause me to screw up my games sometimes becuase when I would go to push the buttons, they wouldn't go down right away and would be delayed and with games, that is the problem.  When you needed the button pressed now it wouldn't go right away.  This is not necessarily a problem with the computer say if you were typing or anything, but the point being, it may not show serious signs right now, but that doesn't mean that later it isn't going to.  However, as stated above, you might be able to get something for it as there are other parts worth value.  Maybe not the full computer, but pieces to part out if someone else were to find one that needed parts because there were parts of theirs that went bad and needed replaced.  I think if you were to fully disclose what happened and let them know that there could be something still going on with it that may cause a problem down the line, you might find someone who wants to try out a mac before making that purchase of $1000 to buy a new one.  I would try to sell it, worst thing that happens is you don't sell it because nobody wants it, but if that is the case you are no different then you are now.

  • I accidentally deleted my iPhoto from the computer and from recycle bin. How can I get it back? I do not have the iLife disc and don't want to pay the $15 for 2011 version. How can I do this?

    Also, if I buy Lion OS, will it be back or no?

    If you don't have an Installer disk then you can't install without a purchase. Do you have the grey SystemRestore disks that came with your Mac? It's on that. No, iPhoto is not part of Lion.

  • If I have a phone on the old 50 dollar plan(unlimited text, call, and web), but my phone got water damage, can i switch a new phone to the same plan?

    Hey!
    So my phone somehow got water damage and I cannot fix it. I was waiting til the last possible moment to transfer my number over and now the time has come. However, when I went to change my phone, the plan that I currently have was no longer offered as an option. Is there any way that I can switch phones and keep the same plan? If so, how can I do that? I need my phone as soon as I can get it because I have important business that must be dealt with and that is the only way I can deal with it currently. Please help me! I have a Pantech Caper and my new phone is also a Pantech Caper.
    Thanks!
    Janelle

        JanelleNaomi,
    I'm glad to hear you already have another phone to use. It can be stressful to be without one. You should be able to use your old $50.00 plan, but you will have to call our Prepay Department at 1-888-294-6804 to to connect the replacement phone to your number and that plan.

  • I had a belkin keyboard for my old iPad.  I have upgraded to an iPad air.  Can I get a new case that will allow be to use my old keyboard?  How?

    I had a belkin keyboard for my old iPad.  I have upgraded to an iPad air.  Can I get a new case that will allow me to use my old keyboard?  How?  Where?

    You might look for generic cases. They're not as sturdy or durable as custom made ones - they tend to use elastic to hold in the iPad and keyboards - but that elastic does give them some flexibility.
    Or see if Belkin has anything.
    Or you may simply be out of luck with the compatibility. My Keyboard is in a case custom built for my 2 and I know whatever tablet I replace my iPad with I'll be getting a new keyboard as well because it most likely won't fit in a new case.

    Yesterday I changed my email password on my home computer.  Today, I can't get any new emails on my Samsung Galaxy 4; I deleted the email account entirely and tried to set it up again as a new account, using the new password, but it keeps giving me an error message that reads: Cannot safely connect to server.  The new password is working on my home computer.  I even tried the old password; it just gave me the same error message.

    I'm sorry you're having issues with your e-mail account on your phone Rusty1112. Let's figure out what's going on. First, please try deleting account/information again and then restart phone. When phone is back on, try adding e-mail account again, and be sure you're entering exactly as you set up, meaning its case-sensitive. If you're still getting same error, please let us know and let us know what e-mail account it is, Yahoo, AOL, MSN, etc.
