HELP ME PLEASE!!!

If, for some reason, your backup got encrypted and you don't know the code, you'll have to set up your phone as new device and start all over again without the backup.
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.
If you can't get pass the lock screen, connect in recovery mode and restore the phone, you'll have the option to reset the lock secreen passcode.
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

Got a new phone (warranty) and used my last iCloud backup but now says there's not enough storage. How do I fix this?

I got a new phone and did the "restore from iCloud backup" and now none of my new stuff can sync to iCloud due to amount of storage. Is there anything I can do besides buying more memory? I had a gb or 2 left prior to getting the new phone

If you no longer need the backup of your old phone, delete it to free up the storage.

I downloaded Pimsleur foreign language mp3's and put them on my iPad but now cant find them. Any advice on how to access these files?! Thanks

I downloaded foreign language mp3's to my iPad and iPod nano and cant find either one of them on the device even though they both claim to be there under "other" memory when I plug them into my computer. Any advice on how to find these files on my iPad/iPod device?

I put them in iTunes and then dragged them to my devices. On my iPad it looked like it put it under the 'purchased' tab but I looked in the music app and purchased tab and still cant fine them anywhere. So I tried to move them over again but it says they are already there do I want to skip or duplicate. Also, when my iPad is attached to my computer, I cant find them either.....

After forgetting the password for my iPhone, I am trying to restore it through iTunes, however, during the process, the phone keeps turning on and asking for the password, thus canceling the process. Any advice?

Yes, you will still get the prompt.
I meant reset then try the recovery mode restore again.
You can also try DFU Mode.
DFU (Device Firmware Update) Mode is different than Recovery Mode.
DFU Mode is a special mode where the device can still interface with iTunes, yet it does not load the iBoot bootloader.
DFU Mode:
Plug your device into your computer.
Turn off the device.
Hold the Power button for 3 seconds
Hold the Home button without releasing the Power button for 10 seconds
Release the Power Button but keep holding the Home button
Keep holding the Home button until you are alerted by iTunes saying that it has detected a device in Recovery Mode
NOTE: Make sure the device screen is blank and no logos are present. Be patient, it make take several trys.

I just tried to update my iPhone 4 and it said it was successful, but now I have a message (USB icon - arrow- iTunes icon) that is frozen? I have turned off the phone, unplugged USB and reconnected and closed out of iTunes and back in. Any suggestions?

How do I keep my installer from trying to update with Photoshop instead of installer? Quark can't update because the installer opens Photoshop which doesn't recognize the file and I'm not given the option to choose anything else.

1. Sync wasn't intended to be used in that manner. You would be better off carrying around a USB Flash Stick with Portable Firefox for use on "strange" PC's.
2. You could open the "Library" {Ctrl + Shift + B} and highlight all those bookmarks and then delete them all at once. But that would also delete all the other bookmarks, and it isn't foolproof. All another person would need to do it to '''''restore''''' a bookmark backup file that has your bookmarks. Beyond that, a new Profile could be created and then the current Profile deleted; but that's "messing with" someone else's computer - an action that is worthy of terminating a friendship over, IMO.
And if that "public" computer was set up properly, Sync should have been disabled.

Can't Cancel the Process Of Media Recovery Creation and Start A New One

help me cancel the process of media recovery creation and start it all over again because i found that i need four disks to make the recovery creation. i made the first disk but i need to get another three disks for the process to be completed. It says that "media recovery creation has not been completed", so i want to cancel the whole opeation and start from the beginning later when i am ready for it. How can i do that, any steps or instructions to solve this issue would be appreciated.
Computer: HP Pavilion dv6-6120se

You can only create one set of recovery discs. So once the process is completed, you will not be able to create another.

HT4889 Hi. I`ve just started transferring from my old Imac to a new Macbook, using the WIFI. But I realize it will take days to get it done. Can I cancel the process, and start over again using the thunderbolt port? Without causing any trouble?

That is so dumb...Apple is the best and most techinological company IN THE WORLD and they don't have the time to invent something like that? HUH? All they are worried about is making the "Worlds best Phone" and they can't take the time out to help their users or anybody that has their products. All they have is "Find mt Iphone" Well they should step up and do something else to help people like me out. Find a way to turn it on and you can find it or find a way to turn it on remotely.
Thank you for your replys

HT5622 I was making new Apple ID with my other Email on iTunes, but I canceled the process on payment page. After a while i went to make a new ID with same Email but it says the Email is already in use! what should i do?

You will need to try changing the email address on the first account and see if you can then re-use it on a new account - you can try changing the email address via http://appleid.apple.com or by logging into it via the Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes (if you don't have a spare email account then you can create one via http://gmail.com or http://hotmail.com)

BPM-Deadlineexception triggered after canceling the process

Hi,
   I have a BPM scenario thats like
WS <--> SAP.
this goes through BPM. I have exception in for Mapping Exception, send Exception and Deadline exception.
I am having a case where the mapping throws Mapping Exception. Now in the Mapping exception block i am throwing a alert and cancelling the process using control step.
Mapping exception works fine, but after couple of minutes the deadline excption is getting triggered and another alert being sent for deadline excpeiton.
Could someone help me with what is happening, as i dont want it to enter deadline exception because i have allready caught the exception and sent alert for mapping.
regards,
vinay.

Raj,
Here is the scenarios...
Receiver-> Block->End. In block i have defined mapping and send exception.
InBlock i have 1) Transformation throws Mapping Exception.
                     2) Send step throws Send Exception.
                     3) Mapping Exception handling where i have a control that cancels the process.
                     4) Send Exception handling where i have a control that cancels the process.
                     5) Deadline Exception where i have a control that cancels the process.
Once Mapping exception is triggered i am expecting the process to terminate. But even after mapping exception is triggered after 2 minutes(deadline time) deadline exception is being triggered. (shown in graphical workflow)
the reason i dont want deadline exception to be triggered is i will be defining alerts in all exception brancehs and dont want the user to be getting mapping and deadline exception both.
Raj, according to your suggestion if i throw an alert again in deadline branch, how would i decide whether its a genuine deadline exception or not( like mapping exception allready triggered). I would need to know when to send an deadline alert or not.
Regards,
Vinay.

Hey everyone i have an iphone 3gs it was running on 4.0.1 and i updated to 6.0.2 but now it says your phone could not be activated?

hi everyone i have an iphone 3gs it was running on 4.0.1 and i updated to 6.0.1. then its said i needed to restore my phone to factory settings and i did but now it says; "your phone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable try connecting your iphone to itunes to activate it or try again in a couple of minutes"...if this problem persists contact apple support at apple.com/support.
I've tried all that i can and still no results. Could anyone shed some light on the subject if so it would be greatly appriciated!

Ok thank you so much! Although I ended up taking the sim card out of my new Iphone and reinserting it into my old one it finally let me restore it! So thanks once again this really helped!

Cancelling the process

You can cancel the process by using deadline branch. No need of control step in the deadline branch. If your wants he can implement the control step to raise the exception or alert. Please correct me if I am wrong
thanks
kumar

To cancel the process...The only available step is "Control Step"......
      When you use the deadline branch,it only raises the exception....It means it just intimates that exception has occured...Now its your duty to handle that...the handler you use here is "Control Step"...
   If you don't raise any exception your BPM will be hanging out there with error and your system resources will be wasted....
   Let me explain you using simple template...
In Java...you use..
try{
     if(some codntion)
    Throw exception abc
catch
   if(exception abc)
      cancel the process
   So "block" step is like try block...time you specify in deadline branch is condition...if it satisfied you are throwing the exception abc (thats the timeout exception for us)and the code you write in the catch block is handler for that exception...thats nothing but control step in our case...
Hope this explains...
Regards,
Ravi

I've updated my phone and I've made a backup. but now it says I must enter my code to restore all my files and I haven't got this code. If I cancel the process or choose something else, all my stuff will be deleted, and I really don't want that.
