HT1414 my iPhone was stolen but I got it back. Now I can not activate it coz i don't have the Apple ID nor the password from the thief. How can i log in my own Apple ID to activate my iPhone?
Hi,
My iPhone was stolen before, but luckily i got it back.
Now i cannot activate it with my own Apple ID because the system kept asking me to enter the previous user's Apple ID (yes, the theif)
So I cannot use my iPhone now.
Please kindly tell me what to do and how to do it. I want to use my iPhone with iOS 7!!
Thank you.

Doesn't matter. And if they have any property at all, it's worth the $50 filing fee for small claims court in most places.
If nothing else, filing could force Apple to disclose the email address and other information that was used to activate the stolen phone and lock it, leading to the identity of the thief or someone else involved in the crime.
For me, it would be well worth the $50 even if all I got was an attachment of future wages. Since i don't have the legal right to just shoot the bastage, it's the next best thing.

My iPod touch 3rd generation was stolen a couple of months ago, and I recently got it back. I was able to take all of the other person's music off, and put mine back on. But when I went to sync the apps, i couldn't. Everything is up to date, except for 5.0.1. It won't take the latest download - keep getting the message aobut timing out - network connection is bad when i know the network connection is ok. Any help is appreciated.
Try a manual install, as outlined in the link below.

I updated my 2nd gen apple tv and after completing the downloading and installing the software I got an itunes picture that means i have to connect it to iTunes,, can i skip this ? coz i don't have the mini usb cable
No, if you have that picture it means the update went wrong and you need to restore via iTunes.

i have an 14gb iphone4 and have been trying to install IOS5 but cannot seem to do it, when i go into general settings i don't have the 'software update' that is shown. Any tips on how to upgrade?
Go back to that article, ignore the instructions for updating it wirelessly, scroll down, and follow those for updating it from iTunes on a computer.

I dropped my iPhone 4 while using it. When I picked it up, it would not turn on. I have tried charging it. I don't have the money to get it fixed right now. What am I supposed to do??
You can try resetting it to see if that turns it on, but if it does not work, the iPhone is probably damaged from the fall and you should take it to an Apple Store so that they can have a look and determine if it is repairable. An out of warranty replacement will cost you money but much less than if you had to buy a new phone.

I opened a pdf file that was attached to an email message I received and now it will not close when I press "Done" as files usually do. Does anyone have a solution to suggest please? Thanks.
Try double clicking your home button then force close the stuck PDF by swiping upward. Once you've done that just click the home button again to exit.

My phone was never added to my iTune devices. Now it is not starting and I am not able to back it up before resetting to the factory settings.
Then you are out of luck with wanting to create a backup for your iPhone first. This could have been done wirelessly with a free Apple iCloud account without needing to use iTunes on your computer to do so. This is similar to not creating a backup for your computer, your computer hard drive crashes and wanting to back up the hard drive before reformatting the hard drive.

I am running Parallels and Quickbooks on my macbook. After an unfortunate encounter with macprotector (I didn't install it) which I was able to get off my computer, I now cannot access Quickbooks. It is trying to open it (unsuccessfully) in my Disk Utility. Any suggestions?
I figured this out. There is an extra step now which I assume is from the iTunes update. There is an option below where you check to sync Audiobooks to 'Include Audiobooks from Playlists'. I checked the playlist f and now my book is all the way on my phone instead of just pretending.
Seems redundant but what do I know...At least I can listen to my book finally. -
