Bought GTA 4 2 years ago and I cant redownload it
When I try to download to a location it says I have to try somewhere else anywhere I select it to be downloaded. Then if it actually accepts the destination and when I click download it shows the progress of the download bar for half a second then acts as if I haven't pressed it. I checked Akamai and it doesn't show anything being downloaded. I meet all requirments to download it and I'm signed in correctly and everything.
Whats wrong?
Hi UwotM8,
I’m very sorry to hear that you’re still having issues downloading and installing GTA4 via the Digital Library!
I’ve researched this issue a bit further, and I have a few suggestions to offer. The “403 error” that you refer to often alludes to the fact that some information on the website may be blocked, either by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), or by software such as a firewall or anti-virus. Are you by chance behind a firewall, either 3rd-party or a Windows based firewall, such as Windows Defender? I’d suggest attempting to download the game with any firewall or anti-virus settings turned off to see if that’s causing the issue. You may also need to check with your ISP in case they have limitations on websites that deal with file sharing.
Also, can you please provide a bit more information around the circumstances as far as how as they may differ from when the download and installation previously worked? Are you on a newer computer? Have you changed ISPs? Are you attempting to download this directly to your hard drive? Or, are you possibly using an external hard drive?
Lastly, you mention that it shows the progress of the download bar for half a second then acts as if you haven’t pressed it. Have you attempted to leave the progress bar sit for a longer period of time to see if it ends up continuing? I would suggest trying that as well.
Please attempt the suggestions above, as well as provide any feedback for the additional questions I’ve asked. If the issue persists, I’ll continue to research this in hopes that we can get you back to playing GTA4!
Thanks again,

Bought macBook Pro a year ago and it came with Quicktime Player. Just bought Quicktime Pro and am having trouble downloading it. Do I need it? How do I download it?
You don't download QuickTime Pro directly; you download QuickTime 7 and apply the code you bought to it.

You will need the serial number. Contact Apple for help with the purchase receipt. Try the store where you purchased it. Check your old email if you purchased online or check your online store account. If you registered it, then you should find the information at: Your Support Profile for Registered Purchases.

What is the problem with my ipod? what can I do to solve it, I even restored it once
Sounds like the battery is dead. Bu try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iPOd
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still problem your battery is very likely dead. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -
I would appreciate if someone can help me. Best,

help me please..my last ipod that had this book on it was stolen and now i cant find it...its a book that i love
Hello marksman23,
If the audiobook was purchased from the iTunes Store, I'd suggest checking the 'Purchased' category in the iTunes Store to see if it can be redownloaded. The following article provides further instructions for both iTunes on a computer and for iPhones/iPads/iPods, as well.

I bought adobe suite 4 student edition a few years ago and I am no longer a student and my laptop in which I have adobe suite has recently got a virus and I must uninstall the adobe suite in or to wipe the computer. If I uninstall the student edition and reinstall once the virus is removed from the computer will I have to go through the student product verification process or can I simply use the product key to reinstall the adobe suite?

I am trying to reinstall CS3 from a download I bought several years ago, and it is saying my serial number is invalid. I am taking the serial number directly from the list of products on my Adobe account. Please advise
Uninstall and try the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool before reinstalling - it helps resolve installation problems for CS3 thru CS6 and for Creative Cloud

I bought my 15" macbook pro just a year ago and my battery life runs out extremely quickly. This started maybe a month or two ago. Its hard to tell. I only noticed the rapid change recently. Fully charged it says I have 2:27 (2 hours and 27 minutes) of usage time...with about 50% screen and keyboard brightness.
I've checked inside system preferences and its cycle count is 261 and full charging cap is 6316.
I have apple care...is this something i can/need to take up with apple. You'd think if you pay the price for these machines you should get mroe use out of them.
ONLY A YEAR I'VE HAD THIS!
My PC lasted 4 years before the battery showed signs this dramatic of wear.
Any help is appreciated, im new mac owner. thanks.do you have a mbp with dual video cards? running the system with the higher end card increases the heat and also drains batt power.
i have the 1st gen unibody (2008) with an original removable battery of 311 cycles and 4453 charge. under normal use ill be happy to get 1.5hrs. the mac battery counter thing says i have 3.3hrs though (whatever). compared to me, i think you use your battery more than i do, perhaps its the reason why it degraded so fast in a year? -
i bought my iphone 4 about a year ago and just decided to upgrade it to ios5 just recently. My phone restored to to its factory settings and when I clicked continue restore from back up it is now asking a backup password which i dont remember setting up one. I am currently using a windows vista PC. How can I retrieve the password or restore all my old data into the new OS. I have been reading blogs about the same situation and is it true that it is one of apple's bugs?
It is NOT a bug. You provided a password. If you can't remember it, you can't restore your phone from backup. Very simple.

I bought my iPhone 5 almost an year ago and since the last 2 weeks my battery lasts about 2 hours or less, while before it lastre a whole day. Can anybody tell me why is this happening or how can i solve my problem, please? Thank you.
You can follow these steps to save battery.
1. Turn on Auto-Brightness - The iPhone has an ambient light sensor that adjusts the brightness of the screen based on the light around it (darker in dark places, brighter when there's more ambient light) to both save battery and make it easier to see. Turn Auto-Brightness on and you’ll save battery because your screen will need to use less power in dark places.
Find it in the Settings app -> Brightness & Wallpaper -> Auto-Brightness On
2. Reduce Screen Brightness -the brighter the default setting for the screen, the more battery it requires. Keep the screen dimmer to conserve more of your battery.
Find it in Settings -> Brightness & Wallpaper
3. Stop Motion (iOS 7) -It's really cool, but it also drains battery. You may want to leave it on to enjoy the effect, but if not, turn it off this way:
Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Reduce Motion -> move slider to green/on
4. Turn Bluetooth Off- Turn off Bluetooth except when you’re using it to squeeze more juice from your battery.
Find it in Settings -> Bluetooth -> Move Slider to Off
5. Turn Off Location Services -
This allows your phone to know where you are and give you exact driving directions, give that information to apps that help you find restaurants, and more. But, like any service that sends data over a network, it needs battery power to work. If you’re not using Location Services, and don’t plan to right away, turn them off and save some power.
Find it in Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services -> Slide to Off
6. Don't Automatically Update Apps (iOS 7)-
If you've got iOS 7, you can forget needing to update your apps by hand. There's now a feature that automatically updates them for you when new versions are released. Convenient, but also a drain on your battery. To only update apps when you want to, and thus manage your battery better:
Settings -> iTunes & App Store -> Updates -> move slider to off/white
7. Auto-Lock Sooner -
You can set your iPhone to automatically go to sleep – a feature known as Auto-Lock - after a certain amount of time. The sooner it sleeps, the less power is used to run the screen or other services. Try setting Auto-Lock to 1 or 2 minutes.
Find it in Settings -> General -> Auto-Lock -> Tap your Preference
Few more things that would consume battery even when not is use are the applications that run in background.
Follow the below steps to quit all running applications.
1) Double tap on the home button on the iPhone ( this will display all apps that are running in the back ground).
2) Just click on the tiny red X to quit application ( if iPhone is running on iOS 6 and below) else just swipe yhour finger over the running app upwards to quit ( if running on iOS7). -
Why am I not allowed to activate my product, CS3, when the product is bought years ago and I still have the serial number? It's an old version, but I don't throw products in the bin, just because they are old.
And what exactly is your problem? Other than going of on a tangent about Adobe's alleged evilness preventing you to activate whatever CS3 product, you have not provided any useful info such as what exact problem you have, what system, what product we are axctualyl talking about and so on.
