I lost my iphone 4, but I found it using the find my iphone app on another apple device. But before I did this I erased all the data from my phone. When I try to reactivate it I am asked to unlock my sim but there is nowhere for me to enter the pin.

I have a G5 with Tiger to sell and want to erase all my data from it, but the cd drive won't work so I can't use the OS10 start up disk. Answers?

I have a G5 to sell and want to erase all my data from it, but the cd drive won't work so I can't use the OS10 start up disk. Any way to do it?

Do you have another Mac? If so, you can startup this one in "Target Disk Mode" (instructions here) and connect it to another Mac to delete the home folders (or the entire drive, if that's what you want).
One piece of advise, though: after deleting the data, and of course emptying the Trash, it wouldn't hurt to also securely erase the "free space" of the drive (instructions here) before disconnecting the old Mac from the new one. This can be helpful, since "deleted" data is often retrievable with ease unles it's written over after the deletion.

I purchased and downloaded Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 from Amazon and when I try to open it, it's asking for a "Redemption Code". Where do I get the that code?

When I try to open the Adobe software, it asks from the Redemption Code when on an Adobe web site. The instructions that came in the download say that this is a 24 digit code of numbers and letters. The only thing I got from Amazon was an Order Key, which is also 24 digits, but only numbers and the software didn't like that code… I walked through the steps on the Adobe web site to get my redemption code, but the final step before giving me my redemption code is to enter my redemption code… I have to enter the code for them to give me the code…??? Am I missing something??? Do I get this "Redemption Code" from Amazon, or from Adobe?

You would get the redemption code, or perhaps even the serial number, from whomever you purchased the software from, apparently Amazon, so talk to them. This wouldn’t be the first time they’ve sold something that didn’t have all the numbers needed to license it.
A redemption code is something that is usually on the inner disc packaging if you purchase the media in a box, and there is a barcode on the outside of the packaging that must be scanned at the checkout register to activate the hidden inner code so you can redeem it at home on that website. This is what happens if you buy PSE from a brick-and-mortar store like Best Buy. I don’t’ know what happens if you purchase the downloaded version as I have never done that.
A redemption code is 24-digits of letters and numbers that you enter into a website to get a serial number, once and only once. The serial number of only 24-digits, no letters, is what you enter into the software during the install or when you run it and it asks if you want to register or run in a trial mode—whatever the exact phrasing is.
In any case it sounds like you don’t have either a redemption code or serial number—although perhaps something is listed on the purchase confirmation or your account online at Amazon or even in an e-mail from Amazon.

TS3682 I have just reset my phone but I have lost all my data from my phone how do I retrieve my dat

How do I recover my data as I have lost it from my phone but it would not retrace it from iTunes either so how am I supposed to get my data back please someone tell me I am really anoid by this happening so how would I get my data back if there is a way then that will help me

You should be storing everything on your computer and/or cloud service. Nothing should only be on the iphone. The iphone simply allows your computers content to be portable.
Where is your "data" stored?

Since upgrading to FF 4, I have constant crashes (updating graphics drivers did not help). now all my bookmarks are gone. When I try to restore them, I get error message: "Unable to process the backup file".

Since I "upgraded" to FF 4, I have constant crashes (I tried updating my graphics drivers--it did not help) and now all of my bookmarks have disappeared. When I try to restore them, I get this error message "Unable to process the backup file". I have lost years of bookmarks...please help.
I am using Windows XP, SP 3 if that matters.

I am also unable to restore any of the backups of the bookmarks, both automatic backups and two backups that I created manually. Since I was able to restore backups before, and since no changes have occurred to these backup files, the problem must be with Firefox.
Right before my bookmarks disappeared, FF crashed and I accidentally started FF 3.5. When I saw what I did, I ended the Firefox process and started FF 4. That's when all my bookmarks were gone and I discovered I couldn't retrieve any backups. I did note that an add-on was updated when I restarted FF. Maybe that's the problem. Does FF have a Safe mode?

I have an iPhone 4 now and I just got the iPhone 4s so how do I backup all my data from old phone to new?

I have the iPhone 4 and just upgraded to iPhone 4s how do I backup my data before I activate my iphone 4s? Please help!!

iOS devices are designed to be sync'd with a single computer, so thinking of future updates, backups and so forth, yes, it would be best to do it on your computer - the one you normally use for iTunes.
Note that backing up also does not backup everything in iTunes. Contacts, for example, will be backed up into whatever contact management program you normally use on your computer (eg. outlook on a Windows PC, contacts on a Mac).
If you have never backed up your iPhone, now is the opportune time to do so and learn how. Not having a backup means if anything goes wrong with your phone (or you loose it or it is stolen), you risk losing everything on it.

No, reinstalling iTunes will not remove iTunes data. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925

IPhone 4s disabled. how do i fix it without erasing all my data?

okay, i just got an iphone4s for my birthday on april 25th. i had no passcode because no one ever goes through or touches my phone. but, i got in trouble and i didnt want my parents to look through it so i added a passcode but accidentally my finger slipped and i added a random code. the finger slipped again when i went to confirm it. since i didnt know how to unlock it i put the require passcode after: to four hours. and the auto lock to never so i thought i could buy some time like that. this morning i saw i left it locked when i went to sleep last night and therefore it was locked for four hours. making it require a passcode. i had already attempted to figure it out 9x and this morning i tried once more. now says its disabled, connect to itunes. how do i unlock it without erasing all my data?

You can't. Try restore with the computer you usually sync with.

Can't add music my iPhone from iTunes. When I try to drag a song over to my phone, I get the circle w/ the syncing line through it, but it does not update/load. [Manually manage music and videos] is checked. And, this is the only Mac I have ever used to

Can't add music my iPhone from iTunes.
When I try to drag a song over to my phone, I get the circle w/ the syncing line through it, but it does not update/load.
[Manually manage music and videos] is checked. And, this is the only Mac I have ever used to add music to my phone.
Also, just updated the phone's software today, and iTunes' software is already up to date.

Hi Gregg,
Have you tried resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your Music app is behaving normally.
Cheers,

I've recently started to use Numbers but when I try to sync to iCloud it asks me to create a new iCloud account. Problem is I already have one and that's the one I want to use. Looks like I have the same situation on my iphone. Any guidance? Thanks.

Looks like I have the same situation on my iphone.
The only option I'm being given is to create an lCloud account.
Any guidance? Thanks.

The last thing you want is a second iCloud account. Try logging out and back in in System Preferences. If that doesn't work, I'd get AppleCare on the line.

HT203167 I lost my ringtones from my phone when I upgraded to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4. They are still on my computer, but won't re-transfer back to the phone. I'm using the correct iTunes account. How do I get my ringtones back on my phone?

How do I get my ringtones back on my phone?
I lost my ringtones from my phone when I upgraded to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4. The ringtones are still on my computer and play in iTunes, but they won't re-transfer back to the phone. I'm using the correct iTunes account on both my computer and phone. In the iPhone view of iTunes on my computer, it shows that my phone recognizes that I had those ringtones, but there is an exclamation mark showing that my phone can't find the files. I can't delete these "placeholders" from my phone with the hopes of re-transfering the files back to the phone, either. I cannot just simply re-transfer the files from my computer back to the phone. It won't let me using the regular synch options and I can't find anything in the menus of iTunes to help me out either.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Ignore. I figured it out:)

Have you tried getting the password reset via http://iforgot.apple.com ?
If you can't get your password reset via that page then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it for you.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
What you mean by 'buy and create a new id', it's free to create iTunes accounts. But until you've logged out of your existing account, you won't be able to log into a new account.

- How did you dlete stuff from the iPod? If you have a 1G or 2G iPod and deleted the stuff by going to Settings>Genera.>Reset>Erase aall contents and settings without being connected to a power source, the battery dies before he erase was comleted since it can take hour.
- In any event try the following:
- Connect to a chaging sour for three hours.
- Reset the iPod and then connect to the computer and try to restore va iTunes.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try placing the iPod in recovery moe and then try to restore. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Last try DFU made and restore.
