Any work arounds to not use SSN for iOS5 upgrade

Anyone else bothered by Apple requiring your SSN in order to activate your iphone (as a last step)? The phone is completely unusable unless you enter this info in (at least for Verizon) I don't care how secure they say they are, this still really irritates me. Anyone found a work around to this?

I know you might have gone through these steps, or at least a couple of them, but go ahead and give them a try again.
There are some things to try with an iPod that won't turn off.
First of all, be sure that your "Hold" switch isn't turned on (the hold switch is located on the top of your iPod).
Then, after you’ve verified that your iPod’s Hold switch isn’t on, here a few things to try:
-- Reset the iPod. Be sure you're doing it the correct way: Press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for about 5-10 seconds.
Be sure to also try connecting your iPod to a power source while doing this step several times.
-- Try toggling the Hold switch. Flip the "Hold" switch on your iPod (located on the top) back and forth several times.
Again, this includes connecting the iPod to a power source while you're toggling the Hold switch back and forth (this worked for someone who's iPod wasn't responding to anything).
-- Try letting your iPod's battery drain out. Use your iPod enough that its battery finally goes dead, asking to re-charge it.
At this point, connect your iPod to your computer's USB or a charger, and leave it there for a couple of hours.
Now see if your iPod will turn off after trying that.
-- If none of these work, you might want to try Restoring your iPod. Note that this does delete all the contents off the iPod (which is why it is somewhat more of a "last resort"), but often clears up iPod issues you might be facing.
For more info on this process, take a look at this Knowledge Base article:

Since I upgraded to os 5.1 for my iPhone I can no longer type in reminders. Any suggestions how to get around having to use siri for reminders?

since I upgraded to os 5.1 for my iPhone I can no longer type in reminders. Any suggestions how to get around having to use siri for reminders?

Unfortunately, I have a very similar problem. Since I upgraded to os 5.1 on my new iPhone 4S the reminders screen will not add new reminders or scroll up and down. What's more strange is the screen will still scroll side to side allowing access to the Completed list, and both the Completed list and Date functions work normally so this must be an upgrades glitch.

Any work-around for non-Lion-supported HP LaserJet printer?

I just upgraded to Lion, and while love many of the features (the new mail app is great), I just discovered that my 6-month-old HP LaserJet CP1525nw printer apparently isn't compatible with Lion. Does anyone have any work-arounds for generic drivers that might resolve this. As inexpensive as Lion is, I'd hate to have to buy a new printer just so I can take advantage of Lion funcationality and full iCloud capabilities. Thanks.

In preparing to install the drivers for the CP1510 series, I decided to download and reinstall the package for the CP1520 series. First, I also installed the firmware update, which had been released since I purchased my printer. Then I reinstalled the drivers using System Preferences, etc.
Lo and behold, the printer now works. For some reason, after the upgrade to Lion, the drivers for my CP1525nw stopped working, even though all of my other printers (1610, 2510, 2610, 2605dn) performed just fine without any jiggering after the Lion upgrade.
Curiously, my first attempt to download the software package for the CP1525nw wouldn't download, launching a dialog that says the driver isn't supported for this operating system. The HP website does not include the CP1525nw in the list of supported LaserJets, but elsewhere paradoxically claims all printers supported for Snow Leopard should also run on Lion, which appears to be true for the CP1525nw.
Go figure. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion. It got me headed in the right direction.

Java 7 U25 work around does not work for windows 8

I'm working on a java application which uses the statistical software R. This line Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.1 + "/bin/" + "R CMD BATCH " + "./data/rJava.R"); in the application started throwing an error after the java 7 u25 update, but it was fixed by using the work around setting jdk.lang.Process.allowAmbigousCommands to true. This fix however does not work in windows 8, although the command does not error out with "cannot create process = 2" it just executes the line, but does nothing. But if I typed the command (R CMD BATCH " + "./data/rJava.R) directly into the commandline, it works perfectly. I've tried disabling the work around, and actually using suggested solutions in the release notes (see below), all worked in windows 7, but no success with windows 8. Any suggestions would be great
Process p = new ProcessBuilder("c:\\Program File\\foo.exe").start();
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] { "c:\\Program File\\foo.exe" });
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("\"c:\\Program File\\foo.exe\"");

avancentcisco - Win7 works fine with SSL VPN. But since we all were migrating to Win8, this was of no use to us. So we ditched SSL VPN all together.
IPSec VPN with Cisco VPN Client (version 5.0.07) works absolutely fine on Windows 8. Once you get the set up right, everything works fine (we are using full tunnel) including internet access.
If you struggle to get it working then let me know and I can help you out. There's not much info out there on the internet. I had to do it the hard way.

Excel allows array arithmetic (e.g. sum(a1:a5* b1:b5) where the contents of the cells are the results of formulae. Numbers only allows constants in the array cells. Right? Any work-arounds?

I have a 10.2.8 os. I had opened up the AOL logo on the bottom bar. Two aol boxes came up. I can get them to go away for a short time and then they come back. I have not used AOL for 6 years. How can I get the boxes to go away?

I have a 10.2.8 os on a G4 desktop. A week ago I clicked on the AOL icon in the bottom bar. I have not used AOL for six years. Two aol boxes came up. I can not get the boxes to go away for long. They may go away for 15 minutes and they come back while I am working. How can I get these aol boxes to go away?
I will be upgading to Tiger; 10.4.

Right click on the AOL icon and select move to trash.

I went on iTUnes after not using it for awhile and all my playlists are gone. How can I find them?

Hi Apple community ---
I went on iTunes after not using it for awhile and my old playlists are all gone. My library seems intact, but I don't have a record of my playlists, except for what's in my iPod. I'm afraid to sync them to get the playlists back into my computer, becuase the last time I synced my iphone it erased all my contacts from both my iphone and my computer, and I don't want the sync operation to remove the playlists from the iPod as well.
I don't have any music on my iPhone, so the two devices in question are just the iTunes program on the computer (it's a Dell with Windows Vista) and my 160 GB iPod classic.
Thanks for your help!!!

Why not use Jsp for control in MVC2 ?

hi
i am rajendra , i am preparing interview FAQ, so please give me my Que. Ans.
1) we are using servlet for control in MVC2 Module,then why we can not use
Jsp for control in mvc2
2) if we used jsp for control in mvc2 then what is disadvantage compare to if using servlet for control in mvc2
Please give me ans. as soon as..
Thanks.

Are you preparing a FAQ for others or are you just cramming before an upcoming interview and someone gave you a set of questions? It looks more like the latter to me.
If you haven't actually written any MVC based code, you won't be able to snow the interviewer. It's better to just relax, get a good night's sleep and impress them with your willingness to learn, your fit with the team and whatever real accomplishments you have to show.
If you really want an answer to this I suggest that you try writing an MVC2 system using JSP for the controller, which is possible, and then try doing the same in a servlet, or better yet using a framework like Spring MVC or Struts to provide the servlet for you and let you concentrate on your application.

Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. If nothing has happened after holding for 30 seconds charge the phone for 15 minutes with the wall adapter and try again.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

A year ago I brought a 1 TB hard drive (My Passport), I have not used it for over 4 months and now when I use the USB cord to connect it to my mac, it does not register the hard drive. Does anyone know why this is happening?

A year ago I brought a 1 TB hard drive (My Passport), I have not used it for over 4 months and now when I use the USB cord to connect it to my mac, it does not register the hard drive. Does anyone know why this is happening?

The beeps could be caused by something as simple as a loose internal wire or connection. If it is under warranty (not sure how long that is, as WD drives range from 1 to 5 years depending on the model's series - I think "my passport" drives are 3 years) you could contact WD and ask them about it.
If it is out of warranty, you could also try opening the case and check the connections - the drive may be fine, and there have been posts on TomsHardware forums of people getting the beeps, opening up the case and the drive is fine, just some wire worked loose.

I do not have an apple computer, I have had Itunes Previously but had not used it for some time. when I try to use it now the following message keeps coming up no matter how many times install Itunes. "The Itunes library is locked on a locked disc ?

I do not have an Apple computer, I have had Itunes previously but had not used it for some time, I have Itunes gift cards but can not get ,on to use them. I have tried to download Itunes again but the following keeps poping up, "The Itunes library is locked on a locked disc, oryou do not have write permission for this file." How can I overcome this?

To solve this issue all I did was check to ensure that the file permissions were set as described by the earlier posts, followed by simply deleting the iTunes Library Genius.itdb file. Once the file was deleted I was able to open iTunes without difficulty. Note that I am running Windows 8. Hope this helps!
