i've had a 4s for two years and today when i turned it on it told me my phone could not be activated becasue the activation server could not be reached. what should i do? i'm lost.
i do not know what this means. I purchased the phone brand new two years ago and have never had any problems with it. The message i am getting reads:
"your iphone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached. try connecting your iphone to itunes (which i don't have) to activate it, or try again over cellular connection in a couple minutes. (which i have tried several times with no success) you can also try to activate using wi-fi connection (which i do not have). if this problem persists, contact apple support at apple.com/support." -
As an absolute newcomer to Lightroom 5 I have downloaded images direct from camera (IOlympus EM-1) and divided them into folders. When I go into Develop mode, some folders can be developed ok , but with images from two other folders I get the message "This file could not be found". What should I do?
may i suggest opening the files in Olymous Viewer 3 and exporting them (you can do some editing there if you wish or not) asTIFF files. After that you can import the new files into LR. LR seems to like tiiff more than .orf files
The advantage to using OV3 is that it seems to do a much better job converting RAW EM1 files. Colors are more accurate ( my red flower pot turned orange when loaded directly into lightroom)
. The tiff files just LOOK better in LR after the conversion . there is a youtube on this subject and when i tried it myself i was impressed -
Why everytime when i try to download iTunes it says " there is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be wrong". What should i do to download it?
Repair your Apple software update.
Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install
If you don't find ASU, go to Control Panel:
START/CONTROL PANEL/Programs n Features/highlight ASU and click REPAIR, -
The pop up that comes up as soon as i plug my iphone into my mac is 'itunes could not connect to this iphone. could not allocate resource" what should i do?
HOW TO FIX CANNOT ALLOCATE A RESOURCE ERROR!!!
I found a fix that worked for me after failing with all the others:
IF your computer has an old cydia app called Wi-Fi Sync (you'll recognize it on your toolbar as a black silhouette of an iphone that NEVER goes away), then this is probably your main culprit. Simple fix.
1. Goto your hard drive in the finder
2. Goto Library
3. Goto Launch Daemons
4. Throw this in the trash: com.ghughes.wifisync.root.plist
5. Goto Library
6. Goto Application Support
7. Throw this in the trash: Wi-Fi Sync (it's an entire folder).
8. Restart.
9. Thank me.

My iphone 5s and model A1457 and even after i downloaded the IOS 7.1,2 itunes get me error "the iphone could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible"
some people saying that u cant get back and other saying yes u can
i wonder if i still can and how to avoid that error
IOS 8 Drain battery like **** -.-" & wireless not working well -.-", that's so annoying ...
(if someone got a solution, i would appreciate it, Thx in advance)You may have to arrange to take the product into an authorized
service agent for the iPhone (or other affected iDevice) to see
if they can apply the correct firmware update, to help resolve the
issue of upgrade; or if they have a way to put it as it was prior to
the attempted upgrade to a later iOS.
See all worldwide telephone support numbers
Contact a mobile carrier
Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
Visit an Apple Retail Store
Pending some release of another update to the iOS, you'd need
to have someone's hands-on effort to correct the issues your
product faces now, before another round of upgrade attempt.
Sorry that I have no exact method to attempt to resolve your issue.
Good luck & happy computing! -

While updating iphone software to 5.0.1, I am getting error that Iphone could not be updated because the firmware file not compatible.
Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.Using iTunes 10.5.2.11 on a PC running 64 bit Windows 7
First did a full back up of iphone using iTunes
Put iphone into Recovery Mode ( http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 ). Erases all user data and settings!
Disconnected USB cable from iphone
Powered off iphone by holding down Sleep/Off button until slider appeared, slid to off, waited until screen dark
Pressed and kept holding Home button while plugging cable back into phone
I still saw the graphic on the iphone that said to plug into iTunes, so I unplugged and re-plugged cable. (I may have released the Home button too soon)
Recovery Mode alert came up in iTunes.
Followed all iTunes prompts to restore phone - it downloaded and sucessfully installed iOS 5.0.1
iphone did not appear in iTunes due to missing pairing file (that made me nervous)
iphone was now at factory settings. I followed prompts on iphone screen to start reactivation process
Eventually the iphone asked if I wanted to restore from a back-up (whew!)
A window opened in iTunes and I was able to select my previous back-up file for the restore
A full restore from back-up then occured
I also allowed a carrier settings update to occur when prompted (not sure that happens in all cases)
When the restore was done I had to re-enter some passwords, but everything was there
iOS is now 5.0.1 (9A406). The whole process took about an hour. -

Message was edited by: liskanThe error message you are getting sounds like you have jailbroken your iPhone or have updated to iPhone OS 4.0 Beta.
Eitherway, I would follow http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275 for a possible solution as these steps may not work. -
