I am trying to restore my iphone and it keeps telling me that the iphone cannot be restored. It also tells me that the iphone cannot do the requested rebuild, or something like that.

Open a terminal window and enter:
sudo   vi   /etc/hosts
You will be prompted for your login password, then you will see the contents of the hosts file in the vi editor. It should look like this:
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1       localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1             localhost
fe80::1%lo0     localhost
If there are any lines that contain "gs.apple.com" you must delete them. If you are not familiar with the vi editor:
press <return> until the cursor is on a line that contains gs.apple.com
type "dd" (without the quotes) (you won't see the dd as you type)
repeat until all of the gs.apple.com lines are gone
type ":wq" or "ZZ" (note that :wq is lower case and ZZ is upper case)

This is true.
All of your content should be on your computer in itunes. If it is not, then transfer it there, so you can sync it back.

HT5581 Somehow my QuickTime player is no longer. I tried to download it again and it keeps telling me that the feature you are trying to install is on a network resourse that is unavailable. What does that mean to a novice like myself?

For some reason my Quick Time player no longer works or even show up in my programs list. I tried downloading it again and the message I get is "The feature you are trying to install is on a network resourse that is unavailable." It somehow is gone and I don't understand why. I am a novice so any help should be simple for me to understand. Thank you.

I am trying to open a document and it keeps telling me that I need a later version to view; however I have 11.0.10 and that is suppose to be the newest version. Any suggestions?

Hello,
I am trying to open a document that I was once able to open. Now, it states that I need a newer version of Adobe Reader, which I have. I tried uninstalling it and re-installing it with no luck. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi Jennifer,
Certain PDF files (dynamic XFA forms) created in Adobe LiveCycle can only be opened in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat. When you try to open these files in an alternative PDF viewer, then you will see this error message.
Unfortunately, it's not easy remove this message and modify the PDF so that it can be opened in alternative PDF viewers. The person who created the original form must re-create the form using options that do not restrict which PDF viewers can open and display the file. If you save the pdf with Reader extended rights then you should be able to view the pdf.
Else you can share the pdf with us as Anubha suggested above and we will check at our end.

I'm trying to buy a CD and it keeps telling me that my session timed out. What do I do?

I'm trying to buy a CD. Everytime I click something it says "connecting to iTunes store." Then after I click "I agree" to purchase it says "session timed out. Try again." I keep trying again and still get the same message. How do I fix this?

Log out of the account, then go back in. Should work fine then.

I have an iphone4s and it keeps telling me I can't connect to iTunes. Also if I'm on the Internet and I'm searching something and I click a link that sends me to iTunes it won't play. How do I fix this?

I can't connect to my iPhone you tube app on iPhone 4s. Also if I'm searching the Internet I can't connect to you tube if I click a search link. Can you please tell
E what to do to fix this?thanks.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I am trying to fill out FASFA and it keeps telling me to upgrade, I click the download 5 times and still I am being asked to upgrade this is extemely annoying.

I am trying to fill out my student FASFA form. Every time I do, I get a page that shows I need to upgrade mozilla. I click the download button to upgrade whatever I need and it does nothing. I get a box that says save file and that is it. I clicked save file and nothing happen except a message that states it has been downloaded. ANNOYING!!!

Other users this past week have said that the FASFA website recommended that they use Firefox 3.6 on that website. I think there is a compatiblity issue with that website.
Install the Firefox Portable version to your hard drive to use with that FASFA website. It won't affect your regular installation of Firefox. <br />

Hi meekboy3,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may want to try restoring again after placing your phone into recovery mode:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.
