  • My iphone 3gs says I need to restore my phone with itunes.  when i connect the phone it says i need to unlock the phone which i cannont due because of the caution saying i need to restore.  does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem

    My iphone 3gs says I need to restore my phone with itunes.  when i connect the phone it says i need to unlock the phone which i cannont due because of the caution on the phone.  How do i fix this?

    Hold down the power button and home button at the same time until the phone powers on, shuts back off, powers on again and continue to hold it until it shows the itunes logo to plug in to itunes. This should allow you to restore without unlocking it.

  • In sounds my email notification is stuck on minuet and although I change the sound it will not budge. does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem

  • Does anyone have any ideas how to fix the rendering problem on dialogue boxes, menu and address bars in the Beta?

    I am getting bizarre zigzag lines, bolded items on the vertical part of letters on the Menu bar and Address bar, and any edge of a dialogue box or input frame gets the odd zigzag lines on both sides.

    Your battery experience is unusual. While I don't use my phone a lot it is on 24/7. The mists I've seen my battery run down is to abut 45% after 10 hours offi the charger.
    Here's how to reset (reboot) your phone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
    If that is what you did I suggest making an appointment at and Apple store for a consultation.

    I recently bought, from the original website of Adobe, Photoshop elements 13. However, when I go with my mouse pointer over the menu, It hangs or he works very slow. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix it? I have already downloaded updates, both from Adobe and Windows. I have a new pc with window 8.1.

    It could be a coincidence, but I rebooted the machine and (knock on wood) PSE13 seems to be working ok.

  • I have installed a trial of Adobe illustrator on my macbook pro. I want to trace an image using the custom trace button but can't. Does anyone have any ideas how I could custom trace?

    I have installed a trial of Adobe illustrator on my macbook pro. It is the 2014 release of adobe illustrator. I want to trace an image using the custom trace button.
    I start a new document. Then I place my scanned pencil/colored pencil drawing, in to the document. I have tried scanning and then placing it as a jpeg, bitmap, and tiff file. I have tried scanning and then placing it, in color and in black and white. The scan mode I use is flatbed. Adobe illustrator allows me to select the default button and one of eleven preset buttons (e.g high fidelity photo), but it does not allow me to click the custom trace button. The custom trace button is grey while all the other buttons are white.
    Does anyone have any ideas how I could custom trace?

    It seems pointless to adjust it afterwards because it is then only a couple a pencil lines rather then a full drawing. And how do I adjust it afterwards? Would I do this using the different buttons under the window button?

  • I cannot see my Iphone 4 in my device window in the finder anymore.  It use to appear so I could copy the camera pictures off of it and transfer them to other folders.  Does anyone have and idea how to get it back when you plug it in initially.  Thanks

    I cannot see my Iphone 4 in my device window in the finder anymore.  It use to appear so I could copy the camera pictures off of it and transfer them to other folders.  Does anyone have and idea how to get it back when you plug it in initially.  Thanks

    You will want to open iPhoto, go to the iPhoto menu and select Preferences. Under the General tab, next to Connecting camera opens: select iPhoto. Close the preferences and quit iPhoto. Reconnect your iPhone 4. iPhoto should open automatically and offer to import your pictures. Import them and then do what you want with them.
    Best of luck.

    telling me to buy a new router is NOT a solution.
    And why not? Apple is selling these things like BigMacs. They can't make enough of them. You've been suffering since May because you refuse to get a decent router.
    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?
