    Hi timtim89,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You may need to restore your iPhone after placing it in recovery mode. See this article for the steps:

  • "Apple Mobile Device service is not started" What does this mean?

    When connecting my iPhone to iTunes, it says "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started" What does this mean? It won't connect to my iPhone.

    You need to stop and restart the Apple Mobile Device service on your computer.  This is explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567 (open "Restart Apple Mobile Device Serivice")

  • My MacBook Pro says: iDisc not mounted, what does this mean???

    I'm trying to acess my iDisc and it's not working.  Message pops up that says "iDisc not mounted", what does this mean?  I can no longer download music or movies from itunes also, because it says startup disc is full.  I've tried to delete items from my computer, still not enough room.  I don't know what to do here.  Maybe I accidentally deleted the iDisc???  Also, the Mobile Me thing isn't working either...it says "an error was returned from the server. check back later."  Guurrrrhhhh!  Somebody please help me....

    Most of the movies r for my son...synced to his iPad 2....can I delete them off my MBP???  Will they remain in the cloud?  Or should I just copy my entire iTunes library to an external hard drive?  Can I add more memory to this MBP?
    You need a bigger Hard Drive, not More Memory (well, you may need that too but it has nothing to do with this problem)
    Buy and fit a bigger hard drive, post back if you need help with that.

    Go ahead and sync. You have plenty of battery to get that done.
    USB pours do not provide enough power to charge an iPad efficiently. Once you finish your sync go ahead and use your iPad. Put it on the charger that came with it later.

  • I tried to register my stolen iPhone onto My Profile but it says that it's registered under another apple ID (which is not mine) What does this mean? Does it mean the person who stole my phone is using my phone under another Apple ID?!

    Hi everyone,
    My iphone and Ipad got stollen yesterday...
    I registered my Ipad onto "my profile" but when I tried to register my Iphone 4 onto "My Profile" it says that the product has been registered under ANOTHER apple ID. What does this mean?! Does this mean that the thief is using my phone under a new apple ID?!
    I am getitng  abit paranoid because when I tried to download a new app onto my macbook pro, it says that someone had accessed my account from a new computer. I am so scared.. as I know that if they are able to access my apple ID account they can see my billing/card details. I tried to delete my billing address and card details on my apple ID account to prevent this from occuring but I can't. Please help
    Many thanks,
    Kim

    You should change your AppleID password NOW. And if it says it was registered under another AppleID, the thief has probably done it.

  • My phone says my cdma service not available what does this mean

    my phone says cdma service not available what does this mean

    This has just happened to me. My phone (Samsung Intensity) worked great on Sunday. Sent and received several texts while at home on Sun during Steeler football game. Monday night, while sitting outside of my home in my driveway, could not make a call. Message said CDMA SERVICE NOT AVAILABLE. On the front of my phone it says Searching SVC. No bars. Icon of a cell phone with a diagonal line through it. Tuesday night, same. Didn't think about trying it at my office. Tried the dialing *228 send option 2 but that doesn't exactly work when the phone doesn't work. My husband's phone (Casio GZOne) also not working at our house.

  • HT201210 my i phone will not update because the firmware file is not compatible what does that mean?

    I am trying to run an update on my iphone and I received an error saying the firmware file is not compatible. What does that mean?

    Navigate to this folder and delete any and all .ipsw files you find. You will have to turn on "show all hidden files & folders" to see them:
    OSX:
    ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
    XP:
    C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
    Vista & 7:
    C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
    Turn off or disable ALL security software & any firewalls. Make sure you're using a high powered USB port directly on your computer...no hubs, if a desktop use a port on the back of your computer. Disconnect ALL other USB devices.
    Try again.

  • Today I got my iPad Mini, andI plugged it into my computer and next to the battery bar it says "Not Charging" what does this mean?

    Plugged in my iPad Mini into my computer and it would say next to the battery Bar "Not Charging" , and I'm wondering what this means. Thank you!

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.
