    Hello there, Ark.
    It sounds like the iPhone has Activation Lock still activated. The following Knowledge Base article provides the methods available for removing the previous owner's account:

    I am trying to add a wireless printer to my MacBook Pro.  It was working properly until we had to get a new modem.  I have gone through the steps with the printer customer service rep, and it was working properly for one day.  When I booted up the next morning, the printer was no longer "connected".  It will work if I have the printer and computer connected, but I much prefer the wireless capability.  Suggestions? The printer is a Brother MFC7860DW.  The other laptop in the house (Dell) can print wirelessly so I don't think it's an issue with the modem or the printer.

  • HT4972 Hi I have an iPad with iOS 612 and am trying to connect a wireless printer, I don't think it's doing it because I don't have iOS 10 or more. Is this right?.

    Hi I have an iPad with iOS 612 and am trying to connect a wireless printer, I don't think it's doing it because I don't have iOS 10 or more. Is this right?.

    If you want to use AirPrint - the buit in feature in iOS that allows you to print directly from the iPad without another app - you need to be using an AirPrint Printer. There is a list of those printers here.
    AirPrint basics
    If your printer is not on the list, you may still be able to use your current printer, but will need to purchase a printing app for the iPad from the App Store.
    I don't understand you reference to iOS 10 unless you mean OS X10 for Mac.

    How i said on the question. I tried to upgrade the ios on the phone and I was asked for my icloud user and password. I don’t remember these exactly and I tried several times with different options but unsuccessfully. I also forget my email used to configurate the phone. I have the phone box and the bill. I sent you an email with my problem and attachments with the box informations, the bill and the reset request. What to do? You said to me:
    Your request comes from an unrecognized email domain. Apple accepts email requests only from email domains for Apple-authorized carriers.
    Please re-submit your request using your official carrier domain.
    but this email is authorized, what to do??

  • Any idea what this query is trying to do?

    Do you guys have any idea what this query(used for report generation) is used for? I don't understand the WHERE clause of this query especially what the Pipe operators(|| ' 21:00:00') are used for?
    SELECT c.course_id,
           mph.subject
    from   courses c, main_pgm_hdr mph
    where
    c.classid=mph.classid
        AND
        TO_CHAR(MPH.CLOSE_DATE, 'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss') >= TO_CHAR(TRUNC(SYSDATE, 'MM') - 1, 'mm/dd/yyyy')
            || ' 21:00:00'
        AND TO_CHAR(MPH.CLOSE_DATE, 'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss') <= TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'mm/dd/yyyy')
            || ' 20:59:59'Edited by: user10450365 on Jan 13, 2009 7:11 PM

    They are trying to get the data having CLOSE_DATE between 20:59:59 and 21:00:00 for the present day. But the way its done is wrong. They have converted the date into Char and they are comparing. Its absolutely incorrect.
    One way to do it would be
    SELECT DISTINCT (PS.CARR_ID)                                  AS CARRIER  ,
         MPH.SHPMT_NBR                                          AS TRAILER  ,
         MPH.SHPMT_NBR                                          AS SHPMT_NBR,
         TO_CHAR(MPH.CREATE_DATE_TIME, 'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss') AS LOADED   ,
         TO_CHAR(MPH.CLOSE_DATE, 'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss')       AS FINALIZED
       FROM PARCL_SERV PS,
         MANIF_PARCL_HDR MPH
      WHERE PS.MANIF_TYPE = MPH.MANIF_TYPE
        AND MPH.CLOSE_DATE >= TRUNC(sysdate)+(21/24)
        AND MPH.CLOSE_DATE <= TRUNC(sysdate)+((20/24)+(59/1440)+(59/86400))Edited by: Karthick_Arp on Jan 13, 2009 1:27 AM

  • I am trying to upgrade my hard drive in my mac book pro using the disk utility in an attempt to clone my old hard drive.  I can only get so far, just before cloning may start and receive an "error 254" and can go no further.  Any idea what this error is?

    I am trying to upgrad the hard drive in my mac book pro using the disk utility in an attempt to clone my old hard drive.  I can only get so far throughj the process where its about to start cloing when I get a message " error 254".  Any idea what that means and how do I get around this issue so I can use my new hard drive?  Thanks for your input.
    Vince

    Connect the HDD to your MBP.  Open Disk Utility>Erase and drag the HDD icon inrt the Name field.  The format should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  Click on the Erase button.
    Then try the clone process again.  You may use Disk Utility>Restore or a third party cloning application such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper.
    Ciao.

  • I am trying to export a video I have made in FCP 10.0.8 to Youtube or to a master file and I keep on getting an error -50, or "error exporting master file at frame 20074" Any ideas?

    Having used FCExpress for a while I decided to give FC Pro X a trial, I created my first video with it, exported to youtube and it worked fine.  I am now trying to export my second video to youtube and I get an error -50 which means absolutely nothing.  Not being defeated that easy I tried exporting to a mster file using the H.264 codec and I get an error "exporting master file at frame 20074" - again another useless error.  It takes at least 10 minutes to get to this error after the rendering has started, it gets about 12% in.  Any ideas where to start - I am seriously at the point of giving up with Final Cut Pro X simply on the basis of it being more trouble than its worth - I am just glad I did not pay for it yet...
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Gerry

    Hi Russ,
    Thanks for your response. I am not an experienced user of FC or other video editing software but if its that hit and miss I think I will go to the trouble of finding some better software - I have a busy enough life as is, I don;t want to get into second guessing what a software problem might be!
    I have just successfully exported my video to a master file using one of the Apple codec options so it looks like it could be to do with the H.264 codec.  I am wondering if Apples Compressor software would solve this problem - the only way to try this it to buy it, there is not trial for the compressor app.  Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Gerry

  • HT201272 I purchased an album and parts of some songs are not there. Tried redownloading and get error -1202. Any idea what this means and how to fix it?

    I purchased an album and am missing parts of songs. Tried to re-download, but itune store is giving me error -1202. I also tried to transfer from iphone, but nothing changed. Any ideas on what else I can try?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.
