My wife just bought her first Iphone  a 4s a fwe months ago, its secondhand a few months ago but it came with ios7.  Now the phone has stopped working and is asking to be registered with a Developer Program portal  any ideas how I can fix this for her?

my wife just boughtnher first apple an iphone4s she got it secondhand about last july , it came with ios7 which had not been released but today its stopped working and asking to be registered with a developers program,  how can I restore her phone and hopefullykeep her current data. Please keep your answer simple we are not it people thanks.

Well, you have your answer perhaps as to why the phone was being sold in the first place - rather than being a registered developer, the previous owner probably downloaded and installed an illegal copy of iOS 7 beta on the phone and it has now bricked the phone.  Some people did this and of course they could not wait to get their hands on iOS 7, but now it has been released officially, everybody moans.
The only thing you can do is try resetting the phone again.  Connect it to iTunes and install iOS 7.0.2 and restore it as new and see if that works.  This might help the phone but will not preserve data.
If it still won't work, then I suggest that you confront the previous owner of the phone and return it for a full refund and start again, but this time buy the phone from a legitimate source.

    Usually if you have some kind of hardware failure there is some beeping during POST or most motherboards now have LED indicators to produce and error message based on the type of failure
    So if its bad memory, not place properly, mismatched, processor not inserted properly, mismatched voltage or voltage connector not present etc it beeps or generates the error id.
    Power supplies can be tested for failure. There are some walk throughs for testing just them with a switch, paperclip or a jumper (I'd suggest not doing this if you are not familiar with the dangers of electricity).
    Memory can be tested with memory diagnostics programs like Memtest+
    Processors can overheat if the proper precautions have not been taken usually you will get a POST beep or error code for that.
    If the motherboard has no response then do the basics first:
    Check power connectors and power supply. Once you determine that is not the case move on to other items like graphics cards in all the way or memory.

    Question # 1 is what do you mean by "inherited"? Is this a case where the computer belonged to someone else? Your user would not be entitled to use a program licensed to someone else.

  • Having a problem with dates when I send my numbers doc to excel. dates are all out and that they have to cut and paste individual entries onto their spreadsheet. Any idea how I can prevent this

    having a problem with dates when I send my numbers doc to excel. dates are all out and that they have to cut and paste individual entries onto their spreadsheet. Any idea how I can prevent this.
    I'm using Lion on an MBP and Numbers is the latest version

    May you give more details about what is wrong with your dates ?
    M…oSoft products aren't allowed on my machines but I use LibreOffice which is a clone of Office.
    When I export from Numbers to Excel and open the result with LibreOffice, the dates are correctly treated.
    To be precise, dates after 01/01/1904 are correctly treated. dates before 01/01/1904 are exported as strings but, as it's flagged during the export process, it's not surprising.

  • Any Ideas How I can Make this Formating Program Run Faster?

    I'm using LabView 8.0.1 to extract columns and rows from MS Excel to format to a specific format which can be read into a software program we use in-house.
    The software program requires a specific header which declares variables, etc and also fomats the extracted data in an arcane way.
    Due to an error in the software program we use, the file format that has to be read in is not uniform and has the first line containing  two point sets (see attached file for an idea of what I am talking about). Any other format will not be read by the program.
    This introduced some problems, and finally, I ended up with an highly inefficient program. It runs, but is relatively slow.
    The programs, the input excel file and output file are given for example. 
    A couple of notes on the files:
    1) The file type used as input is just an excel file which has been saved in space-delimited format.
    2)  To speed up the process,I  permitted the formating of only 2 variable types (x, y, z, variable 1, variable 2). I haven't gotten to adding more variables. Ideally, I would like to count the number of columns on the excel file, read the headers and then write the output file automatically with all the variable names.
    3) I used sequenced loops in the vi, which is probably not the best way to do this. I am guessing that I can interweave all the numbers into one large array before writing --- but have no idea how I can accomplish that.
    The output file extension is actually .fvp. I've renamed it in order to upload the file.
    Any help/suggests would be greatly appreciated!!

    Use the Format Into String Function instead of the large concatenation.  Most of your inputs are constants, so they could be put into the Format string of that function.  It looks like you have only 2 truly variable string inputs, so they would show up as %s in the format string.
    So your format string would be something like this (\codes turned on)  (VI is LV 8.5)

  • Help My Iphone 3GS the hotmail has stopped working and my contacts and the calendar no longer hook up to it  it keeps saying the connection to the server has failed and it running the latest 5ios

    Hi please help I have an Iphone 3 G S it is using the  5.1.1 ios upgrade which it has had for sometime although there was a minor update last evening ? My phone worked fine until arround 1 pm today then it stopped getting mail from my hotmail account along with the hotmail I am not longer able to see any updates to my calendar and most of my contacts have dissapeared. I have tried reconfiguring the hotmail account, deleating it, and putting it back on, and changing the password but none of these has worked. I know hotmail is working from my computer and it also working from another app I downloaded to the phone just now ( mail pro)  but it still says connection to the server has failed?
    Thanks so much

    Click on your Hotmail account in Settings, click on the blue arrow and Forget this Network and try signing in again.

  • My Apple iphone 5 is less than a year old, meaning it's still under the 12 month warranty. The touchscreen has stopped working and there are lines across my screen. Can I get it replaced for free by booking an appointment in store?

    The rest of my phone is still perfectly operational. I can sync it to my Mac, I can still see my phone screen, meaning I can still see texts and calls coming through, the power button works, I can see my apps and my background, and the circle button at the bottom still works. It's just the touchscreen that isn't working. I can't slide across to answer calls or slide across to turn the phone off. As my phone is still under the 12 month warranty, will they replace my phone in store by booking an appointment at the Genius bar?

    I was taken through some diagnostics over the telephone with an Apple advisor, who asked me to restore the software, back my phone up, etc, which I have done. He couldn't rectify the problem so advised me to take it in. I am booked in this evening to see an Apple advisor in store. I don't know of anything that I have done for this to happen! It was in my pocket on holiday in Portugal and was ok one minute, I took it out of my pocket and the vertical lines were on my phone and the touchscreen had stopped working! I hope I can get it replaced.

  • Since I updated my iPhone on iOS 5, the sound coming out of the speakers and the headphones has gotten worse. Any idea how I can resolve this problem?

    I don't know what happened to it. I just updated it and now, the sound comes out tinny and overdriven. My setting were just as before, but the sound has become very crappy.
    Any solutions?

    You're pressed the volume switch top right side to go up ??
    If that doesn't help ...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Then try sound.

    Not on your own. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to put it back onto the cards; they'll only do this for completely unspent ones.
