The creeps that generate this code figured that the iPhone since is is selling so well would be a great market for them even if iOS makes it impossible for their code to do anything practical unless it is jail broken first.
For additional information on jailbreaking, read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_jailbreaking

  • In a hurry, I opened an email that said "order was shipped from "ammazon". I downloaded the order document and it ended up being a zip file. I then realized what it was, and did not actually open the file. This was on my Iphone 5. What should I do now!?

    Delete the email. The zip file will have no effect on your iPhone.

  • Does running scanpst ever fully correct or fix the pst? Ran it 416 times so far trying to get it to fully clean the file.

    Does running scanpst ever fully correct or fix the pst? Ran it 416 times so far trying to get it to fully clean the file.
    I've ran this scanpst within Win7 outlook 2010 for 3 days. The scanpst began taking about 4 minutes to finish and still showed that there were errors in the file. After 416 runs through the scanpst, the file is taking about 15 to 30 seconds. It's greatly
    improved but this is ridiculous. Why isn't there something from tech support to fully fix the file without starting a new profile and starting over? There's just too much info needed to be saved. If it's simply transferred over to the new profile then it works
    for a short time then the corrupt files wreck the new profile. I've really searched for this answer and gotten no where even on youtube. Some of the issues are mostly hanging outbox or rejected login 0x80042109, 0x800421A, 0x800CCC92 and 0x800CCC1A. Please
    assist in stopping the madness.

    There's just too much info needed to be saved. If it's simply transferred over to the new profile then it works for a short time then the corrupt files wreck the new profile.
    This isn't an attempt to provide any kind of definitive answer but your description begs a number of questions...
    #1 - What kind of email account is this particular PST file associated with - POP3 or IMAP?
    #2 - If IMAP - am assuming that the PST file in question is related to the one which contains the <Inbox> folder> correct?. Simply deleting (renaming) this file will result in a new one being automatically recreated with the contents of whatever
    exists on the server (assuming you have no created any kind of <local only> unsubscribed folders in the tree) - which then begs the question as to whether or not the root of the problem exists within the data stored on the server
    #3 - If POP3 - what is the format of the PST file - ANSI or Unicode? If ANSI - what is the size of the file? ANSI files max out at 2gb
    To determine the format - right click on the root of the PST file --> properties --> click <Advanced> button --> if the <Format> field description contains <97-2002> - it's an ANSI based PST file. (Regardless of anything else - if
    this is the case - should be converted to a UNICODE file)
    #4 - Where is the PST file being stored - on a local drive or a network drive? If network - not supported and highly prone to causing corruption.
    #5 - Purely from a logical perspective - the fact that things appear to work properly for the "first few days" after a new profile is created indicates that there is something consistently occurring on some kind of 'timed basis" triggering
    your issues. If that's the case, even if ScanPST did fully clear all issues - just a matter of time before the same thing happens again (whatever "that thing" may happen to be) - ergo, in this scenario, highly unlikely that ScanPST is the answer
    since what really needs to be done is to find the root cause of what is triggering the problem.
    #6 - It would also be pretty safe that this is not a generic issue impacting everyone using OL'2010 - regardless of OS so your environment is one deserving a lot of close scrutiny.

  • Will a new computer fix the problem?

    I currently have a Windows XP system from appx 2004 with PSE 3.0 on it. PSE 3.0 is no longer responding when I try to open the browser or editor or anything! the computer seems to be having other issues as well so I think its time to upgrade to a newer computer. When I last backed up my photos (44,000+) to an external drive, the PSE 3.0 was working fine.    If I get a new computer and install PSE 3.0 on the new computer and use my backup to load all my photos to the new computer..   will the PSE 3.0 load with all of the original tags from the photo browser?

    I have never performed a backup with video files, as I don't have any.
    Nevertheless, based on the way the PSE Organizer works, I am relatively certain that the tags for videos are included in the backup (as well as the tags for photos). I'm also relatively certain that both photos and videos are included in the backup. (Note: I am referring to backups made via the Organizer command File->Backup Catalog)
    But the only way to know for sure is to cross your fingers and try it.
    Best to start a new thread since your question has nothing to do with the original topic (will a new computer fix the problem)

  • I had an old account for my apple I.D and the email that i had expired, so I switched my apple I.D as my recent gmail, but it still asks me for my old apple I.D and password, what do I do

    I had an old account for my apple I.D and the email that i had expired, so I switched my apple I.D as my recent gmail, but it still asks me for my old apple I.D and password, what do I do?

    Go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • I have brought Lightroom 5 for a new MACBOOK PRO, but wondering, am I still alllowed to load on my desktop as well running Win 7? It looks like the office enviroment that says you can!

    I have brought Lightroom 5 for a new MACBOOK PRO, but wondering, am I still alllowed to load on my desktop as well running Win 7? It looks like the office enviroment that says you can!

    Eww, thanks for your reply, as it makes good sense, and common sense is practical when you walk into an Apple store.
    I guess all the reviews and great specs of the new MB pro's made me want one...
    I should probably use my current setup till it is totally outdated or simply is beyond repair.
    I could ask Santa Claus for one, but by than, the 2012's will be coming out..:)
    Thanks Eww for your reply, IAN....

    The  wording is confusing. I just tried one of the DLs and it is working. Whether it will actually install now, I have no idea. If the activation servers have been disabled (because of a technical issue), probably not. Whether this is only temporary, I have no idea. I would think Adobe would just withdraw the entire page if they wanted. From the time this first appeared a few weeks ago until now I know it was working and could be installed using the provided serial #s. There was nothing about needing to actually have purchased it originally.
    Ginger:
    I downloaded CS2 from the Adobe site BEFORE this recent notice was posted and it is the only version that I have and use.
    The new notice is VERY confusing, because if you were a prior purchaser of it originally, why would you need their newly supplied serial number (which is what I use since I was NOT a prior purchaser. But again, when I downloaded and installed CS2 there was no such notice).
    I suggest that you see if it downloads, installs and works with that serial number, as free is always better than not!   (especially since it is known that iMac G5's are prone to hardware failure from bad capacitors! I had many of them...)

    I don't know how strict the OS requirements are. I do know that my old G5 iMac, even upgraded to Leopard, was able to run CS2. In fact, using Rosetta, CS2 still runs on my Snow Leopard.
    As you can see from the image, CS2 is running in my Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) environment in Parallels concurrently with Lion.

  • I am having trouble with the email that is confirming my security questions, it says it has sent it to my gmail but i have checked the email account and nothing has been sent, i have waited 24 hours for it and still nothing

    i am having trouble with the email that is confirming my security questions, it says it has sent it to my gmail but i have checked the email account and nothing has been sent, i have waited 24 hours for it and still nothing.

    Hi Cara154,
    If you are having issues receiving the email verification for your security questions, you may find the following article helpful:
    When you provide a rescue email address during Apple ID creation, you will receive an email from Apple to verify that the email address provided is accurate. If you don't see an email from Apple asking you to verify your rescue email address, you may want to check your SPAM folder. If you still haven't received the email from Apple, you can sign in to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com) to resend your rescue email address. To resend your verification email, click on Password & Security. Then, click the Resend link located in the Rescue Email Address section.

    I have an IMac and opened an email that may have been infected with a virus. How do I check my IMac for a possible virus? What does PPC mean?

    You would be better posting this in the Lion forum.
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion?view=discussi ons
    It's possible you email contained a virus, but unlikely.  There haven't been any reports of email viruses effecting the mac. 
    My understanding is the Apple provides security updates for all malware including viruses.
    There have been reports of a --
    -- Phoney virus checking program
    -- flash malware.
    ppc -- Power PC.   An older computer processor used by Apple.  Last Mac shipped with PPC was in 2006.
    I've read about two virus checking programs for the mac. One is clamav.  The rest are either junk or malware.

  • How much will it cost to fix the LCD screen of my iPhone 3G at the Apple Store?

    I went upstairs to check my Phone and a plain white screen with verticle lines kept showing. I turned it off and back on and did the same. I can't see anything but the white screen!
    How much will it cost to fix the LCD- beacuse i heard it was the LCD- how much in the Apple Store??!

    Try a Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone restarts on its own.
    If still problems, take iPhone to Apple Store, they charge $99 (not $199) for Front Screen Replacement on  iPhone 3g.
    But before they do that, ask them to Reseat Flex Cable #1 (LCD display flex cable) to see if this will fix the Screen for Free.

  • Hi, I am trying to connect a WD Mybook for Mac to my airport/time machine device.  On the AirPort Utility it listed under Disks at 0 Mb.  I enabled file sharing.  But nothing happens.  If I plug it directly into my MacBook it works fine.  How do I fix it?

    I am trying to connect a WD Mybook for Mac to my airport/time machine device.  On the AirPort Utility it listed under Disks at 0 Mb.  I enabled file sharing.  And also followed all the steps - "secured disk access: with a disk passord", "Airport disk guest access: read and write", "Share disks over WAN". But nothing happens.  If I plug it directly into my MacBook it works fine.  How do I fix it?  Also, its connected via a powered usb hub.

    I assume that you are using  Mac operating system 10.4.11, as your profile indicates.
    The instructions that you referenced are for use with AirPort Utility....not AirPort Admin Utility.
    Suggest that you download and install AirPort Utility 5.4.2 for Mac , which will run on 10.4.11.
    Also noticed that the instructions do not tell you that the hard drive should be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to work with the AirPort Extreme, but they should.

  • Okay so about four days ago my ipad says it has apps to update but whenever i go to the update apps page it will not load and i have tried rebooting signing out but nothing will work, any suggestions?

    Okay so about four days ago my ipad says it has apps to update but whenever i go to the update apps page it will not load and i have tried rebooting signing out but nothing will work, any suggestions?

    If you are getting the blank app update screen, many, many people are having this problem over the last couple of days. It is a problem that Apple must fix now.
    According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
    If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
    1. Go to App Store
    2. Select Purchased
    3. Select All
    4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
    5. Select update on the Apps
    This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store. Apple needs to fix this. It is a workaround only until then.

    Hello there, SamanthaYikwai.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some basic steps to try for reinstalling an app:
    iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
    Reinstall the app
    Remove the app from your device and reinstall it. Remember that deleting an app also deletes its data.
    Delete the app.
    Press the Home button.
    Go to the App Store and download the app again.
    Wait for the app to download, then open it from the Home screen.
    If the download stops, you can resume it.
    If the issue persists, then you may want to try and sync the application to your iOS device using  your computer by following the information in this article, under the section "Download previous purchases on Mac or PC":
    Download past purchases

  • I go to touch an app or game button on my iPhone and the screen blinks like its trying to open, but nothing happens. Why and what do I do?

    I go to touch an app or game button on my iPhone and the screen blinks like its trying to open, but nothing happens. Why and what do I do to fix it?

    Are there any apps in the muti-tasking bar? If the app closed unexpectedly and appeared in the muti-tasking bar, end it. Double tap the home button and then hold the app until it starts to wiggle then tap the minus at the top left at the app (if you want, end all the remaining apps)  try opening them now. Hope this helps! :)
