Bought 2nd Hand Blackberry 8700

Hi
This phone was working fine on a prepaid sim, now the phone has locked have contacted provider and retrieved my PUK code, phone is now asking me for the PIN for my phone but I dont know it, the person I bought it from imported from overseas and set it up for use in NZ new, has given me the manual via link for the phone, but thus fat have found nothing about resetting the phone so I can get back in, never used Blackberry before either, so help in lamens language would be appreciated, THANKS

It's registered to the original owner. There is nothing you can do about it. Registering, or not registering it in your support profile doesn't really matter since it's undoubtedly out of warranty anyway.

There is no solution here and you should already have known this as you replied to a thread all about this a few up from your own post and this stated the postition quite clearly and the question was answered.
Why do you ask the same question again? The first answer is not going to change just because you don't like it!!

Buying a 2nd hand blackberry

hi
i wonder if someone can help me. i'm looking to buy a 2nd hand nearly new blackberry 8300 curve to use with my o2 sim card. i've been told that i have to have a blackberry account to receive emails etc before i can use the phone to its full extent? is this correct and how do i get a blackberry account!!
thanks
Lou

You need a Blackberry dataplan for your device. Otherwise, you will only be able to do Phone + SMS.
contact your carrier and ask them what they can sell you.
your carrier will give you a BIS account. Then, you can use any email address to connect to your BlackBerry device. You can get a BlackBerry email address but it has less features than a regular email address on GMail ot Yahoo!Mail or Hotmail.

Just bought 2nd hand ipod touch 2nd generation and i cant seem to get the wifi to connect as its greyed out

i just bought this ipod touch 2nd generation and te wifi is greyed out ive tried resetting and looking for airplane mode but its not there any help please????

See:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

I want to use a UK Iphone bought 2nd hand in Spain. How do I do it?

Hi, I bought a 2nd hanf Iphone 4S, from UK, he said it was unblocked but now it has arrived in Spain and it will not work with my carrier, Movistar./
How do I get it to work? Sim card is in it, but I have no service, thanks for your help in advance.

Sounds like your iPhone is locked to a carrier in the UK. You will have
to contact that wireless carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you
qualify. Suggest you contact the seller for refund or for assistance in getting
the iPhone unlocked.

If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

8100 bought 2nd hand on ebay - please help!

Hi,
I've bought an 8100 on O2 from a user on ebay, the phone will not let me register a new email.
O2 says that the previous owner has to cancel their account, but they will now not get in touch.
Is there a way around this?
Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Graeme.

Contact the original owner and have them contact the carrier the device was originally used on and have them release the PIN.
You can try contacting your carrier and asking if they can do it, but typically the original owner has to do it.

BLACKBERRY 8700 on O2

I have recently purchased a 2nd hand BLACKBERRY 8700, I am trying to get it setup using my O2 sim card on Pay As you Go... I need to get my BBM working, and also access the internet.... I have no idea where to change my settings and how to get a web browser on the phone etc?
Can anyone help?

Do you have a BlackBerry Data Plan enabled on your account with your carrier or mobile provider?
You must, in order to get the RIM push email functions you are looking for, as well as addtional BlackBerry data services such as the internet browser, Facebook for BlackBerry, BlackBerry Messenger, and much more.
So, call your carrier and inquire about having the BlackBerry Data Plan added to your account.
Good luck.

I have bought a 2nd hand late 2008 macbook air and can't install iPhoto as it requires update 10.9 or higher i can't seem to update any further than 10.7.5 help???

I have bought a 2nd hand late 2008 macbook air and can't install iPhoto as it says it requires update 10.9 or higher i can't seem to update any further than 10.7.5 can anyone help please???

Thankyou for your response... being new to this i have had a look and it says the following
This system can run the last version of OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" as well as the current version of OS X 10.9 "Mavericks," but does not support the AirDrop, AirPlay Mirroring, or Power Nap features. It is not supported booting into 64-bit mode when running Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard." It does support "OpenCL" and Grand Central Dispatch introduced with Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard."
Please note that OS X "Lion" 10.7 and subsequent versions of OS X, like Mountain Lion and Mavericks, are not capable of running Mac OS X apps originally written for the PowerPC processor as these operating systems do not support the "Rosetta" environment. To run PowerPC applications on this Mac, it will be necessary to use Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" or earlier
what do i do next
Thankyou once again for your reply

Bought a 2nd hand MBA but now can't download iPhoto

I recently bought a 2nd hand Macbook Air and it already had Lion installed. It didn't come with the Lion USB so I can't do a reinstall if I wanted.
Now when I sign in to the App Store and try to download iPhoto or Garageband, I can't. It says something about my profile not being allowed to download it as the download is attached to another account, presumably the previous owner.
So how am I able to download iPhoto? I don't mind paying for it, but it still won't let me as the only option I get is "Download".
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks

I think you will need to wipe the drive and reinstall Lion after purchasing your own copy from the App Store. I suggest the first thing you should do now is backup anything on the drive you need to keep. Then sign in to the App Store under your Apple ID and purchase and download Lion if that's possible - I think you should be able to do that.
How To Re-Download The Lion Installer
This appeared as a hint at MacOSXHints.com, and will work to force the download of any purchase on the Mac App Store.
Open the Mac App Store.
Navigate to your Purchased page.
Hold down the Option key on your keyboard and click on your 'OS X Lion' purchase link (not on the 'installed' button).
You see the Lion product page. It should say 'Installed,' but that button is clickable. Hold down the Option key again and click on 'Installed.' If you don't hold the option key it will tell you there's already a newer version installed.
Enter your login credentials.
Download.
It's important to hold down the Option key twice. Once on the Purchased page, once on the Lion page. You also can't navigate to Lion directly, you need to open it from the purchases page.
If you follow this procedure you should find the Lion Installer in your Applications folder. Be sure to move it to your Downloads folder for safekeeping. Do not use it to install Lion, rather make a copy to use.
Once you can download Lion you want to keep it and make a bootable USB flash drive installer for yourself:
Make Your Own Lion Installer
1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that you can use without having to re-download Lion.
Use the installer to first erase your hard drive then install Lion:
Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot from your USB flash drive installer:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the USB flash drive and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

I have bought a 2nd hand iPod Touch

I have bought a 2nd hand iPod Touch ( told it was 3rd Gen, IOS 1.1.5) I have no APP STORE and cannot see how to add apps to the iPod Touch
I can connect through Itunes via the PC but cannot seem to find a way to add apps to it.
I've tried a Factory reset/upgrade and nothing has changed. If i try to connect to Itunes via the iPod Touch , even though I have a good internet connection, I get "Cannot connect to iTunes Store"

You have the original (1G) iPod touch. Those can go as high as 3.1.3 that you get here:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)

You can confirm since the 1G does not have volume buttons on the upper left edge.
Identifying iPod models
You need iOS 2 or later for apps.
There are not that many apps now compatible. To more easily find them:

Can you explain exactly what the message says?
Do you have its serial number? If you do, type it in the following web page to determine your service and support options:
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
If you do cannot find a serial number on the iPhone you can find it stored in your last iTunes backup:
Open iTunes on the computer you used to sync the iPad and select Preferences…from the iTunes menu. (In Windows, choose Edit > Preferences.)
Select the Devices pane. Position the cursor over any of its backups. The iPad's serial number will appear in a popup window.
For a screenshot read: iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number
