I have an Iphone 5 and downloaded the new ios7 and now my phone is locked. It says I need to enter a passcode. but I never had a passcode, and I can not get into my phone. Please help me...

Hi wutnoah,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
See this article for a few different steps to try:

If you are able to begin the restore process, but it does not complete, this article can help:

I found that suddenly the app store wasn't working on my iphone 4s. So I went to settings and tried to reset ......something, can't remember what. Now I've got an apple icon against a black background and my phone is locked. I can't do anything with it. What do I do?

What "voice thing" are you talking about? Can you retrace what you did and explain it a little more clearly so we can help you.

Are you using any MS Office third party Add-ins? Test: Remove third party Add-ins other than PDFMaker. Test to see if the MS Office apps run afterward.
Did you attempt to repair MS Office? Test: Go to Add/Remove Control Panel run Repair.
Finally, have you tried testing to see if it's PDFMaker? Test: Use the Add/Remove Control Panel to modify the Acrobat installation to remove PDFMaker. See if MS Office applications launch and behave correctly?

I'm trying to download and run Firefox but keep getting an "error creating directory" message. C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\res\dtd What do I need to do to fix this?

It shows under the message, the following:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\res\dtd
What do I need to do to fix this?

* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

We downloaded firefox 5.0.1 last night, began working with it. It did fine. After about an hour, I turned off my computer. When I turned on my computer, I click on Mozilla Firefox and it won't start. I get this error message, " Error: Platform version '5.0' is not compatible with minVersion >=5.0.1 maxVersion <=5.0.1" from XUL Runner. What do I need to do to fix it?

The updater wasn't able to update all the files and some were left as older versions.<br />
Do a clean reinstall.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

I recently did an apps update and now the update is locked and I have 15 apps I can't open. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I recently did an apps update and now the update is locked and I have 15 apps I can't open. Any ideas on what may have caused this and to fix it?

If Ralph's suggestion doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

Using Windows 8 and can't authorize my computer to upload apps and play music on my new laptop. What do I need to do to fix problem.

Using Windows 8 and can't authorize my computer to upload apps and play music on my new laptop. There is no "authorize computer" in a drop down menu as suggested in iTune store or its support page. What do I need to do to fix problem?

MY personal thinks to Radez29. Yes, it is now authorized. BUT, I have an obvious question and an obvious statement.
Question......why, in my many emails to/from Apple support, was this simple solution not given to me?
Statement.......Apple should consider "terminating" the present employees and hiring Radez29. He obviously knows a LOT more than the Apple support team.
AGAIN, my sincere thanks to Radez29 for this solution.

Though I have doubts for success, you might try a SMC reset. It can do no harm. Otherwise, barring suggestions from others, the Apple Store or qualified repair facility is the last option.

First try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
Restoring > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If the issue persists you may have a hardware issue due to the Drop... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step... Be sure to make an appointment first...

Since installing IOS7.0.2 my iPad keeps rebooting itself every few minutes. I can't do anything with it and cannot download the new IOS7.2 because it doesn't run long enough to accomplish the download. What can I do?

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

HT201365 Downloaded iOS7 on my 4S. Mostly went well, but sometimes screens lock up (especially text, but also Settings). Find I cannot access and send texts sometimes, plus do not receive some texts from others (group messages real problem).

Downloaded iOS7 on my 4S. Mostly went well, but sometimes screens lock up (especially text, but also Settings). Find I cannot access and send texts sometimes, plus do not receive some texts from others (group messages real problem). Any work around? And related problem: Getting told can not connect to network when trying to sign on with Apple ID to launch Facetime and Messages.

I've restarted several times. If I restore from backup, unfortunately the backup was done after iOS7 downloaded. Now, am I wrong that "restore as new" will essentially wipe me out? If so, and having backup, you're saying essentially start over and then backup?

I didn't realize that I had a trial version and I can't do anything with my photos and I'm on the 2014 cc version. Now what? If I have to purchase the 2015 version, will I be able to work on my photos and will it be the software and not the download versi

I didn't know I was using a trial version of PDF files and now I can't do anything with them and I keep getting a notice for the 2015 version as I have the 2014 cc. If I have to purchase the 2015, will it be the download version or will I get the software version?

Hi scarabs55,
Are you working with Acrobat or Photosohp? (You mention both PDF files and photos, so it's not clear.)
Let us know what software you're thinking about upgrading and we can point you in the right direction.
Best,
Sara
