Ok i just bought a iPhone 4 off a friend and when I try to make a iCloud account it says the number of iCloud account have been takin and want let me make one what should I do
You can't do anything, except use a different device (or a Mac) to setup iCloud and then transfer the details to the phone you bought.
Clearly your friend setup multiple iCloud accounts for some reason (you only need one) using up all the allocation for that device, and didn't tell you before selling you the phone.

Please if anyone can help me help....
Well folks I finally got my "can't connect to iTunes" issues fixed. Seems that there was an unauthorized change to my email address and account therefore not allowing mr to connect to iTunes.
Here is how I got it fixed.
1. Contacted iTunes store support
2. Followed their instructions and replyed with the following info:
An order number from one of my purchases
Last 4 digits of the c.c. Used for the iTunes store acct
Answer to one of my security questions
And 2 items from this list.
Birthdate
Billing address for Acct
Phone number on acct
It was after all of this that they saw that someone had made an account modification back in February when the issue began. Seems they changed my email address just slightly and that is what kept me from being able to sign in and not a password issue. This was likely due to a phishing email that came out in conjunction with iCloud asking users to change their passwords to a more secure form by adding a capital and number.
To get all of this cleared up it took about 4 days as we emailed back and forth. I also needed a seperate email address they could use to send me info. Once they determined the issues and went to get them fixed by changing the email address associated with the acct and I created a new password I was able to access iTunes with no issues and even my previously thought lost acct balance was there.
Hope this helps

I AM STUCK AND FEEL ROBBED BY APPLE'S NEW POLICY IN THEIR UPDATE!! I bought this phone off of Craigslist, as i've done before, and when I restored it, could not activate it becuase I don't have the previous users iCloud information! I can't contact him, can't find him, and I am Stuck!!!! If I don't have a solution, I will be totally sold off on Apple Products Totally! This ***** and I need a fix to this. I can't use my phone for all types of business I use it for!!!!!
This is not Apple's fault AT ALL. You've been ROBBED by the seller - not Apple.
This is a security feature designed to prevent stolen iOS devices from being used by thieves.
Presumably the device you bought is stolen which is why the person you bought from has magically vanished as soon as he got your money.
Lesson learned: Don't buy products when you cannot verify you are buying from the legitimate owner. -

I just bought this in order to copy and paste from a PDF and after I convert I still can't..
Hi helpme59,
It depends upon the restrictions set on the pdf.
If the creator of the pdf has set restrictions against copying then you will not be able to copy the content.
Are you facing the same issue with all the pdf's?
Would it be possible to share the pdf with me. -
Hi i bought a phone off of Craigslist and the phone was never deactivated by the previous owner. I cant contact the previous owner. How do I unlock it?
Not sure. It may also have never been reported to AT&T as stolen.
It won't really matter. The hardware ID of the phone is associated with the Apple ID and password of the person who originally activated it. That is association is stored on Apple's activation servers and only the original owner can remove the association as discussed in the article you were reading. Until that happens, the activation server will not reactivate the phone without the proper Apple ID and password being entered. -

Hello, Im new to this website. Im having issues with my Macbook. I have the old 2009 model Macbook and it is our schools macbook. The school just upgraded these MacBooks to OSX Mavericks and when i try to open Minecraft it won't let me. It says no jdk installed. I also try to install Java SE runtime but half way through the Software Update it says cant download software because of network problem but I'm connected to the internet and i can browse stuff just fine. Can any one help with my problems. P.S. I don't know the administrator password or stuff like that. And yes we are allowed to play games and stuff on these laptops but only at home not at school so don't tell me i need to focus on school and not games.
Since you updated the operating system, it is probably Minecraft is missing certain files that ware remove or are not longer comparable with the new version of the OSX. what I recommend, is to check is there is an update for Minecraft and install that. If there is not update available, probably the best thing will be reinstalling Minecraft. Hope this will help you.

Hi.
I had a similar problem myself. This is what helped me.
I went to the App store app, scrolled to the bottom, logged out of the account, re logged in with my Apple ID. Then went back to app updates. Once I put in my ID password all was fine. -
I bought my iPad off a friend and it is hacked. I can't upgrade the software to iOS 5.1 it says unable to update. And something about me not being eligible. I need help please
If the device is jail broken - and the message is that the iPad is not eligible for the requested build - there are tons of articles on the internet that discuss how to fix the iPad. Use Google.

hi. I just bought my very first mac. I cant get to see youtube videos using safari. it says to upgrade my flashplayer. do I have to download the flashplayer?
It's no longer pre-installed for a number of reasons. Not the least of which is Adobe Flash requires such frequent security updates that any version installed at the factory is pretty much garunteed to be dangerously out of date by the time you get the machine in your hands.
Just go to adobe.com and download the latest version of flash player. -
I just updated my mac from Tiger to Mountain Lion. wiped the computer clean and started fresh Loaded Photoshop elements 11 (brand new in the box) and when I try to start it - it comes up saying - Licensing for the product has stopped working contact for help. in Looking for help I was directed here. what do I do?
I don't know enough to not follow directions. I bought the software brand new in a sealed from factory box. Had it sitting around until - last week when I deleted flash on my computer and had to upgrade to the new OSX. Mountain Lion doesn't use iPhoto - so I had to go with something else. Since I already had this new - unopened package I opened it up. Shut down all running programs - inserted the disk and followed all the directions for installation. Still it didn't work.
I have now uninstalled it (the proper way) and am going to try again.
I appreciate your responses.
Thank you!
If this doesn't work - I am going to just buy Lightroom. -
hi when i open my application folder, all the application is shown in trash folder. when i click the application it says this app is in trash first move it out. and when i try to open through finder> go it says this file doesn't exist. can some1 plz help? how can i put all my application through application folder?
Something really odd is going on. In your first screen shot, I noticed that the Applications folder does not have the proper icon displayed in the side bar. Also, in the title bar it lists it as Applications 08-59-29-909.
Not sure where it's picking up that odd name, unless it's because it's still truly within the Trash folder.
Try this. In the Finder > Preferences > General > turn on "Always open folders in a new window". (I have a feeling you have the default setting with this off).
Now, in Finder > Go > move down and open the Applications Folder from there. Now open the folder where you see all your applications that you show in your screen shot, select all, and move them to this true appliactions folder.
This is what you should properly seeing (but with different apps listed):
See how the Applications folder has the icon of the letter A shaped with a pencil, ruler & pen. -
