However, I cannot access the phone (the screen went), I have removed it from find my iphone and from itunes so I don't know how I can deactivate it, can someone please help? Thanks

Hi,
Start here at the green iTunes Store icon
Follow the menu items that deal with Managing your account. Eventually it will offer you an email Contact option.
Use this to explain you would like to remove the iPhone from iMessages registration.

    If you are running Tiger, you don't have time machine. 
    You need to get something like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner (sorry, I don't have a handy link for CCC but you can Google it to get their site) to make a clone of your drive on the external and then do incremental backups.  The free versions do a lot and you can upgrade to the full-service versions for small change if you need more.  The one time I used SuperDuper! for cloning a volume it worked just fine. 
    (My backup application is the last PPC capable version of Retrospect, which does a credible job, or has over the past ten-twelve years.)

  • HT4009 Why is it so difficult to purchase balls for NBA king of the court even when you have a ballance on your account?

    I am having problems purchasing balls and other apps for NBA King of the court. Why is this a challenge even when you have money on your apple account?

    What exactly are you having trouble doing ?
    What is the error message ( if any ) that you see ?

  • HT5621 What do you do when you've lost access to your e-mail and your apple ID and have no way to reset them? (with the find my iPhone feature enabled)

    Hi
    I've lost access to my e-mail and my apple ID. No way to reset them. It's a hotmail email address and Microsoft is refusing to reset it even after I provided all the necessary proof of ownership.
    2 problems:
    I can't switch to a new apple id and loose all my purchased apps
    I can't switch to a new apple id as I'm being asked for the password of my current apple id - to disable the 'find my iPhone'-feature
    How do I proceed as my device is virtually unusable as is ..
    Many thanks

    This is a user to user community, Apple are unlikely to read your comments, if you have any suggestions that you think might enhance iCloud you can send Apple your feedback here.
    We also can't speculate on what exactly iOS 7's new security features will actually do, all that's available is what has been said so far by Apple, anyone using a developer version is forbidden to discuss it anywhere but in the developers community.

  • Why, when you have auto update on, isn't the same language installed as before, but English instead.

    When auto update the new version installed is English and different from the original language installed. Probably the same thing happens with thunderbird. When I have a language installed I want an update in the same language without having to reinstall the wanted language.

    I already thought of that but it can't be the way it is suppossed to be. Firefox, and Thunderbird, offer an auto update function so the update automatically sould be in the same language and not in English as it does now. Downloading and installing your own language you can hardly call auto update.
    For now I have stopped auto update till a solution is presented.

  • When do you know you have a problem with your phone and dropped calls?

    My iphone 4 hasn't really been a problem but I've noticed and all the people who call me notice that my phone is dropping a lot of calls. It's almost dropping every other call, and that is awful should I go back to the store and take it back? I don't want to waste anyone's time or should I be angry. I try not to get ****** over a phone but my 3GS never did this.

    You have 30 days to decide. Albuquerque has good to moderate 3G coverage. It is possible that ATT has again been overloaded with a mass of new phones and may need to make adjustments to their service. I am lucky to live in S Florida where coverage is great. However, if your coverage was marginal to begin with you may have trouble. I would let it sort itself out by July 24 the 30 day mark for most and decide than. The only thing to be mad about is not being able to have the phone you want at this time. In spite of what appears to be a large vocal group on this forum, who are really have problems, most of the 1.7 million phones are not. Again see what plays out in your 30day trial and make your decision accordingly.

  • How much does it cost to replace an iphone5 in store when you have a problem through your own fault- cracked screen etc

  • Firefox stops responding when I try to access anything other than the home page; even after reseting and reinstalling it.

    I have tried resting Firefox and even sacrificed all my data (bookmarks, add-ons, saved passwords, the whole shebang) for a clean installation. Firefox Stared hanging and doing the "(Not Responding)" thing with a whited-out window. Thus force me to force close Firefox.
    This happened as soon as I updated my computer (running Windows 7) and the Task manager is show high usage of processes. All my other browsers work (Chrome, Safari, and even the god forsaken IE) don't hang when trying to leave the home page, browse fine, and close and reopen perfectly.
    Needless to say, I'm annoyed with this development.

    <blockquote>
    Did you try the minimize memory usage. If not then try it by following method:
    - On your navigation bar of Firefox write about:memory
    - Click on the button "Minimize memory usage"
    Hope it will work!
    </blockquote>
    Unfortunately, I can't even use the navigation bar without triggering the high process usage thing. So this is not an option.

    <blockquote>
    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    Tried this stuff as well. Turned Norton off and it didn't work. Restarted my computer with Norton off, still didn't work. And Firefox didn't wok after I turned Norton back on. Safe mode also doesn't work.

  • How can you tell if you have a virus on your phone?

    I was told there was a virus roaming around in Facebook. I got a junk message on my wall from a riend (who's account has been deactivated for months) about earning money online. She says she didn't send it. And for some reason suddenly I am unable to view my "status comment"  notifications that I received in my message bin. I click on them and I get the option to open them but nothing happens. When the notifications come and I can see some wording of the message in the notification I can open them, but if it says "status comment" I cannot. I have removed and redownloaded FB hoping it will fix it but no luck. And suddenly it's messing with my ringers as well. I get strange notifications even though I have turned them off. My phone is less than 2 months old and FB is the one and only app that I have on my phone. Verizon doesn't seem to know anything about apps and hasn't been able to help me. What if I DID get a virus? I have insurance on my phone. Facebook isn't whats important to me, simply that I want to know who I can ask for help about a general question like a Virus on my brand new phone! Can anyone help?!!?! 

    There is some issue going on with multiple people related to the Facebook for BlackBerry notifications.  You're not alone in that respect.
    Not sure if the issue is with Facebook or the application, but I'm leaning towards Facebook since it's pretty much sucked on my PC the last several days, too.

  • HT1430 SIM NOT VALID!! i wanted to update my iPhone to the latest version. i made it all the way up until you have to set up your phone. it says "Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone." thats all it would let me

    what do i do when it will not take my SIM card anymore and i can not downgrade my phone? i already got a new SIM card but it still says its not compatible! what can i do?

    This means that your phone was hacked to be unlocked. Updating it restored the phone to Apple specs and re-locked to the original carrier.
    You will need to find out who the original carrier is and see if you qualify for unlocking.

  • HT204406 I purchased an album from itunes, and put it in a playlist. icloud status lists all the songs as purchased, and when I click on "Update itunes Match", this playlist will not update. There is a cloud to the right of the playlist name.

    I purchased an album from the itunes store, and put it in a playlist. icloud status listed all the songs as purchased, instead of the usual "Waiting". When I clicked on "Update itunes Match", everything updated except this playlist. There is a cloud to the right of the playlist name. This has never happened before.
    Any ideas?

    I deleted the songs from my desktop (iMac), then I used itunes match to reload the songs back on my desktop from my laptop. When they reappeared on my desktop, then I right-clicked on the songs and clicked on the option to add to icloud. This however did not work, and they just duplicated into icloud, but they were "greyed out" and unuseable. I hope I'm explaining myself clearly? In other words, the songs seem to be trying to go into the cloud, but they are greyed out in my library and cannot download. It is as if they are ghosts? My songs do play fine when I transfer them via itunes match, and everything appears normal. They just won't transfer via the cloud. As I said before, every other song in my library always work fine via the could, but only the songs off this one album that I bought from itunes in 07' will not work???

  • How do you talk to anyone when you have a charge on your itunes account that I don't understand??

    How do I talk to some human that can tell me what a charge is for on my i tunes account.
    I find a $9.99 Pandora charge that I can not figure out what it is???????????

    You could simply type "Contact itunes support" into the google search bar.  This would give you the link to contact itunes support.
    Or you could just click the word Support at the top of this page, then click the link under Contact Apple Support.

    sql develop will pop out a window to let you input value, but accidently I use my mouse to click another place, so I never can find that pop out window, and sql developer no response to me any more.

    Hi StuNYC,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're seeing an alert message when opening Mail on your iOS devices. Do you have multiple email accounts setup on the devices? Take a look at the article below, it provides suggestions that will resolve most issues that  cause an alert like that to appear in when starting the Mail app.

  • Error: Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox.

    when trying to download new messages into Thunderbird, I keep getting the error message:
    Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox.
    what does this mean and how do I correct it???
    thanks

    I have this problem too, but my Inbox is empty. There are 125 emails waiting on the server, including one i just sent from another address.
    The site you recommended is "having difficulties".

    I have now accessed the KB article above. None of the recommended actions made a difference. I deleted about half the 130 emails awaiting download from web-mail, but still got the same error. I can't clean out the inbox because I can't download emails yo it :-( I have 3 other addresses operating under the same server satisfactorily.
