Does anybody have any idea where the hosts file is?

Where is the host file, the one that I need to change so I can trick my browsers to look up a domain that's not online yet.

The Hosts file is located at /private/etc/hosts. You can use the following command in the Terminal to access and change it:
sudo pico /private/etc/hosts
This command will ask you for your administrator password, which will not produce anything on the screen while it is being typed. The Terminal is in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder.

TS2845 does anybody have any idea what the default parental passcode is for apple tv

i can't remember what the passcode is for apple tv. does anyone know what the default code is?

I don't believe there is a default, you need to enter a code to enable parental control. if you've forgotten it, you'll need to restore.

HT1726 i have heard that charging less than 80 percent will make the battery lasts longer, does anybody have any idea about that?

hi,
i have heard that charging less than 80 percent will make the battery lasts longer, does anybody have any idea about that to help me?

I don't know where you heard that statement but it's completely incorrect.
According to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
Could also be not enough free space for the iPad to operate efficiently. With iOS 7 it is recommended that you have 15-20% of the storage space on the device free. For a 16 GB device that is 2.4-3.2 GB free. For a 32 GB device that is 4.8-6.4 GB free. For a 64 GB device that is 9.6-12.8 GB free.
If neither of these suggestions helps, Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

My iPad2 has repeatedly refused to update to iOS7, whether connected to a PC or not. The error message indicates an unknown error has occurred, with error code 6. Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be and how to solve it? Many thanks.

Hi
I followed this guy's instructions and it worked:
http://evsiphone.blogspot.com/2009/05/iphone-iphone-could-not-be-restored.html
I did disable the security (AVG and Zone Alarm) when I tried on my own PC. My wife's laptop which eventually got it working also uses AVG and Zone Alarm but on an XP O/S whereas my PC is Vista - maybe this is why.
Cheers for you help.
Andy

Can you imagine if a company that makes a refrigerator told me that I needed to upgrade my electrical system to rectify a problem with their device? What kind of response IS that?!?!
What if the problem with their device is that it requires a new-fangled "grounded" outlet and your circa 1890 house doesn't have grounded outlets. Would you refuse to purchase a $ 25 adapter on principle?

First question - I have Acrobat 9 on my desktop and the license seems to have been messed up. I tried to download and fis but I asked me for a disk. I don't have any idea where the "disk" is. Can I get the license update without that disk?

Second question - In anticipation of not being able to do that, I bought (at University bookstore) Acrobat XI Pro - do I need to uninstall the 9.0 Pro version before I try to install the XI version?

If you still have your serial number for Acrobat Pro there is a link to the installer here: Download Acrobat products | 9, 8

I'm having the same problem. I just bought an album from my iPhone and when I select "Transfer purchases", I get the same message.

I am getting sync problems with Exchange Server and local outlook. Error code is 18439. Does anybody have an idea what the problem might be?

I am using Outlook on my Imac, which is linked to the Windows Exchange Server. All off a sudden I keep receiving messages saying that the message Re: xxxx cannot be synchronized with the exchange server. When I delete the message from my local mail box, all is fine, but after a while another one pops up. The error code is 18493. Does anyone have an idea what could be going wrong???
Thanks for your help already now!

Hello Wolfgang,
I get the same error, but I cannot figure it out too. I hope you or I get some responses back! I do not know why there isnt an edit feature in outlook to acknowledge the individual alarm so it does not alarm again!

Does anyone have ANY idea when the wifi issue will be solved?

My wife and I have had our iPad since May. The iPad has, almost from the start, been TERRIBLE on wireless. After a bunch of trial and error we discovered that the only way we could get it to work with out network was to disable/enable to the wireless every time it stop responding, which means doing this every 30-40 minutes on most days.
Obviously this is hands down unacceptable. Apple posted the 3.2.1 fix which was supposed to solve this, but of course it didn't. As an application architect my team and I have been doing development for the iPad recently, and we encountered a bug related to this for one of our apps where the app would time out on load and close. Turns out the network connection is slowing down so badly it can't get a simple list within the initial 20 second launch window for the apps.
This file is somewhere in the realm of sub-100k... 20 seconds? REALLY? On a 4mbps cable connection?!?!
I'm almost ready to get my money back at this point... it's really frustrating to have to deal with this on a daily basis. We have a Belkin 802.11n router which works fine for every other network device in my house. That includes 2 iPhones (3G, 3GS), Dell laptops x2, IBM laptop x1, Wii, network bridge, etc.
The lack of ANY kind of real insight is the most painful issue here. And no Apple, telling me to buy a new router is NOT a solution. Can you imagine if a company that makes a refrigerator told me that I needed to upgrade my electrical system to rectify a problem with their device? What kind of response IS that?!?!

Does anyone have ANY idea when the next update is going to happen?

I'm editing a wedding video now and am waiting for the new updates (especially the functionality between Speedgrade and PP) to drop. I had heard a few weeks back that they were going to happen 10/15 but that date came and went. Then at the Create Now tour they said "in the next few days", but that was nearly a week ago. Does ANYONE have the scoop on this? I'm chomping at the bit....

Due to Adobe being a publically-traded company, where mis-information or disappointments from missed expectations can affect their market cap, non-disclosure-agreements of employees and contractors would prevent divulging of such information in a public forum.
