HT203167 Hello. I rented Dallas Buyers Club last night and had it set up tonight to watch it, and something happend and I can no longer locate it on my computer. Hope you can help.
I am not sure what happened, movie I rented last night is no where to be found. It was there and I was about to watch it. Had the icon showing and came back to computer, must have touched some key or something and now it is gone. Checked trash and still cannot locate. Never have done this before. Anyone with a magic wand out there ha ha?
Apple Does Not recommend that. Please Read.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490
From that article
"Portables with built-in batteries"
Current Apple portable computer batteries are pre-calibrated and do not require the calibration procedure outlined in this article. These computers use batteries that should be replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

Thanks.

Apple recommend calibrating the battery when you buy a new Macbook and then every few months, or monthly if it used on mains all the time. This, as Apple says is to keep the battery operating at maximum efficiency. When the battery discharges and shuts the macbook down, it still has reserve power for a good number of hours. There is also a logic board battery to hold various settings.
I rather think I will take Apples advice on using their equipment not yours, but I would be intrigued to discover what is it you know that Apple doesnt about its batteries?

I purchased an ipad for my husband in 12/2011 - it was stolen last night and i can't find the receipt with insurance and warranty.
The warraty doesn't cover lost or stolen.
If the iPad was running iOS 7, the thief/finder will not ever be able to use it.

I have a 2009 Macbook Pro with 1T hdd 8GB Ram and ran Maverick without problem...Yosemite installation has me completely frozen, nothing works but the spinning ball...I had to force shutdown last night, and haven't turned it on again...what do you advise? During installation emptied cache, etc. Backed up using time machine, fortunately.
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

I have tried to send photos through text messaging and it will not send. I thought my iPhone 3 was giving out so I got my iPhone 4 last night and still can't send photos through text message. What is the deal??
Also MMS is supported on a carrier by carrier basis. While mostly every carrier does support ths feature make sure that your carrier allows this functionality.

My iPhone 3GS died randomly last night and I can not get it to turn on. Suggestions?
I was listening to music last night and I paused the music on my headphones. I then decided I was going to listen to the rest and pressed play on my headphones and nothing was happening. The battery percentage was 85%. I know my phone sometimes has meltdowns. I said not big deal (this happens frequently) and I plugged it into charge. Woke up this morning the phone remained in the same state. A black screen. I have tried pressing the On/Off button with the home button.. nothing is working. Is there any way I can get it back to its old state, I have phone numbers on there that haven't been backed up. Is there a way I can turn it on without restarting it? If not should I take it back to Apple or the cell phone provider? I know my contract is up in January.
Try resetting your phone:
Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.
Note: This "can" take upwards of 30 seconds or so of button pushing. -
My HTC DNA powered down last night and I can not get it to power on
There was ~50% battery life on my phone last night when I went to bed. I did not plug it into the charger. This morning, the phone was dead. I plugged it into the wall charger, and came back 3 hours later. It still would not turn on. I would get 1 or 2 of the boot screens, and then it would go back to charging. The charging light was blinking, and never went solid. I took it to the VZW store, and the tech there couldn't do anything with it. I can also get it into the hboot menu, but fastboot or recovery don't work. I get 1 or 2 boot screens and it goes back to the charge icon.
Please help!Hi--
I have a situation very similar to mk1racer; my HTC DNA is dead dead dead. My phone shut itself off due to low battery, so I put it on the charger overnight. It didn't take the charge. When I plug i into the charger, the indicator light flashes amber 3-5 times, the battery icon appears on the screen, and then all goes black. I tried holding the Power and Volume buttons at the same time, and the phone tried to boot--only to go black after a few seconds. Nothing.
Help????!!!! -
Firefox has been asking me to update, and it changed its look so I thought I had updated by accident, but it hadn't so I clicked the update now button and eventually closed computer. Today it won't open from the shortcut or through the main menu. I am now using google chrome to send this but I really need all my bookmarks, and passwords on my existing but not working version of firefox. Can you help please?
KerrynDo you have Internet Security Software turned on in your Internet Explorer?
I turned mine off, as I have Norton AV. Go into Internet Explorer and check to see if you have that on and try turning that off...and then try to get back onto FF. You may have to restart your computer, I'm not sure, as I'm not a techie. I just know that the Internet Security Software clashed with my Norton AV.
Good luck!!!
Donna
PS Go with the user's suggestion above me, sounds the right way to go...thank God for the techies, eh? :) -

I rented saving mr banks and never got to watch it also rented Dallas buyers club but would. Rather watch something else
We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
Did you start watching the rental, if only for a few seconds ? If you did then you only 24 hours in the US to finish watching a rental before they expire. If you didn't watch any of the rental then contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
For the other rentals, all purchases are considered final. -
I can not get my Ipod 4 Gen to log into free WIFI hot spots. It shows that I am connected but I have no internet activity. I was in several hot spots last night and could not log in, other people were, but I could not. HELP!
- Did the other users who successfully connected have iDevices?
- Frequently you have to open Safari/a browser and agree to the terms and conditions of the wifi spot before yo can get to the internet. Some wifi spots use Flash or Java to log on which the iPod (and other iDevices) do not support)
- Have you tried resetting network settings: Settings:General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Does you Ipod successfully connect at home?. -

How do I retrieve the microphone icon for voice text in iOS 8? I downloaded the new iOS 8 last night and I do not have the ability to voice text. Someone please help.
I did not do anything to mine except update. You can try doing a reset on the phone. It will not affect data. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. Make sure you also have iMessage activated and data turned on. Remember that iMessage requires both users to have an active internet connection.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
Cheers, Tom
