** Can anyone please help??? **
YOu peoople have no idea what i had to go through today.. please and i say please do not use any software from this website
http://www.efksoft.com/products/iphoneringtonemaker/download.htm
i just spent the last 4 hours on the phone with an apple representative and actually had him tell me that my phone was as good as a toaster!!!!!!!!
i installed 3 free ringtones from this websites program and when i went to do my "update" from apple today it disactivated my iphone!!!!!
:-o * i was stunned over what had happened , at first i just thought that itunes did something wrong to my phone, but after further calls to apple, they told me what the problem was!! ,, they knew that i had installed some third party application on my iphone and was actually fuc*ed cause using 3rd party applications voids your warranty with apple..
he actually told me at one point that my phone was "TOAST".. i could no longer use it cause of what i had done.. 3 stupid ringtones that only took 5 min. to install just cost me $600dollars ,( i purchased the iphone the first day it came out). after long and long talks with apple reps they guided me through a hard restore process and THANK GOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDD , MY PHONE IS BACK UP AND WORKING.. ** SO PLEASE PEOPLE , DO NOT INSTALL ANY 3RD PARTY APP'S.. YOU WILLL SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO REGRET IT, I KNOW I DO.. I ALMOST LOST MY BABY(IPHONE)...
NOW COMES THE QUESTION ?? THE "RESTORE" RESET MY SETTINGS BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL FACTORY STATE.. I HAD OVER 500 CONTACTS, 300 SAVED EMAILS ETC, ETC, ETC..
THE APPLE REP SAID JUST SYNC AND EVERYTHING WOULD BE NORMAL.. PHONE WORKS, ITUNES NEW ICON IS ON THE DESKTOP AND MORE, BUT NONE OF MY CONTACTS, CALENDARS OR MAILS ARE BACK..
CAN ANYONE HELP.. I CANNOT GO THROUGH THE DIFFICULT PROCESS OF MANUALLY PUNCHING IN 500 CONTACTS AGAIN!!!!!!!!
PLEASE HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU CAN REPLY HERE. OR I WOULD GLADLY APPRECIATE AN EMAIL FROM ANYONE WITH AN ANSWER.. < Edited by Host, for your protection, no personal information please. >
THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!
.. cool..
i was told that by an apple support representative this morning...
the problem with that is this??........
when i downloaded that "program" it said that whenever you sync the iphone it would take off the ringtones that you had put into the iphone. in order to have the ringtones back in your iphone you need to restore and your ringtones would automatically be placed in it again....
Note: I DO NOT WANT ANY OF THOSE RINGTONES ON MY PHONE ANYMORE!
im scared that if i do a backup of my old settings it could potentially insert those ringtones back in my phone again and i wouldnt be as lucky as the first time....
if i knew for sure i was risking my phone being toasted, i'd much rather go through the painstaking process inserting all of those numbers in again....
thats why i havent tried restoring my back up!
i was told by an apple rep this morning that an itunes restore in no way could ever harm your phone. but i know that the last time i backed up this phone those ringtones were in it...
dunno what to do..............
do i backup or just punch everyting again manually????

After several attempts to get some help from Apple, it has become clear to me that my i phone 4 has no options within accessibility to reduce the motion picture.
I have a serious problem with the new software but unfortunatly i cannot go backwards with this update. Apple for obvious reasons will not advise any downgrading options. Can anyone please help me? Is there a third party option here. I do not want to pay for a new phone or replace the i phone as i run a mac,desktop and i pad... !! Thank you.Giansh2006 wrote:
I don't quite understand why you have asked me about why I'm keeping my URL secret?
It's only that I'm not clear why you are reluctant to post it. If you have a podcast in the iTunes Store then it's there for the world to see - they might search on its subject or title, for example, even if they don't actually know about it from you. If you look at other posts in this forum you will see that usually people post their URLs and then I can examine the feed and hopefully find out from that what the problem is. Without this information no-one can give you anything more than wild guesses.
If you are still reluctant to post the details and want to have a bash at diagnosing the problem yourself you may find my web pages helpful:

When my ipod touch is in recovery mode (when I try to re-store it) the itunes page sayes the website has been timed out and so it won't re-store. There is a limited time, whilst restoring the ipod, it lasts for approx 5 mins, then asks to start again all over again. Can anyone please help me?
This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
Update to the latest version of iTunes. Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) users may need to download iTunes 10.6.3.
Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw. -
Hi there, can anyone please help? Download itunes and it says The Itunes library .itl file is locked, or on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file.
Holding down the shift key while iTunes is opening. That will bring up the 'choose iTunes library' dialog. Select 'Choose LIbrary' from the choices and navigate to your music folder and iTunes music folder.
Or refer to this article:

Hi everyone, I need some help big time. I was currently running the IOS 6.0.1 on my iphone 4 and I could sync and transfer music to my phone via my iTunes account. But I updated my phone to the new IOS 6.1 and now I can not transfer music onto my iphone, all it does is tries to sync the songs but it doesn't. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes back onto my laptop yet it still does not work. Can anyone please help me.
Everything is Sorted!
The release of iTunes 11.0.2 and iOS 6.1.2 for my iPhone 4, seems to have sorted everything. I can now sync music, films and photos between my MacBook and my phone.
I was dubious about blindly doing the updates but decided they couldn't really mess up any further functionality so I went for it and it's sorted now.
Look in to, and take the gamble, it's up to you. -

My Macbook aliminium unibody from late 2008 will not boot. I reach the grey screen with the apple icon and the spinning grey gear. I used disk utility to boot it but it said integrity test failed. I don't know what to do can anyone please help?
Sounds like you may have a harddrive issue. You are probably going to need to get that changed out and then install the OS X again to get it going.

i-tunes could not be used because the original file could not be found.could not locate.this error occurs on most of my songs in my library and will not play even though they are in my i-pod and play with no trouble.can anyone please help?
I was not complete clear.
Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section. If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.

I have a black Apple TV that has recently stopped working. It loads the Apple Logo on screen then goes off and starts again. It's as if it is stuck in a loop. I've tried a re-boot and this has failed. I have tried a restore using a USB cable on 5 different computers, including a Mac Book Pro and it downloads the update file but when it tries to restore I get the error code 9 showing on screen. I just can't get it to do anything.
Can anyone please help?Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?! -
I upgraded to mountain lion a week ago and now on startup of my macbook pro, microsoft excel and word start up automatically and then crash? very strange can anyone please help? I have checked the login items under users and groups and there is nothing.
Are you using the Office for Mac 2011 version, as you need to do? The Office for Mac 2004 is Not at all compatible with Mountain Lion, and the 2008 version has been noted to have some problems running with ML.
Hope this helps -
Hi can anyone please help. My I Phone is in recovery mode. I have loads of pics and vids including my little girl counting to ten for the first time.
Can I recover these files or have I lost them? I lost the phone last week and it was returned working but with an update to install I did this and it shut down.
If anyone can please help I would be eternally in your debt I have loads of sentimental pctures in here but cant get to them.Sorry, but if it's in recovery mode, anything on the phone is already gone. If you had PhotoStream turned on, hopefully the photos will still be out there.
You have no choice at this point but to restore from your last backup. -
On my ipod touch my songs start in random places and jump to different places as it plays, the remember position is not ticked can anyone please help?
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again. -
I change my apple ID and password like a week now and after changing all my information and MY apple ID, i noticed that i lost all my picture in my camer roll and my photo stream too ;(.. Can anyone please help me how to bring it back all my photos?
I don't know about your camera roll, but for photostream just do this:
Go into Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and then sign back in using your Apple ID information.
Make sure to do the same thing with your iTunes and App Store options.
Settings > iTunes and App Store > Click Email and sign out, then sign back in. -

I am using Mandriva Linux now.
But I am using Firefox 3.6.8, but I cannot install java plugin in it.
Can anyone please help me how to install it?The plugins folder in the Firefox installation folder doesn't exist by default. There is no default plugin in Firefox 4, so that folder would be empty and in thus not included. If you want to use that location then you need to create a plugins folder.
Did you try /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins ?
