Does removing a configiration profile make your device safe

There's a app called something like icons and it can make a short cut
Of the app but a different icon . Ok that sounds nice but it asks to install a profile
So if you remove a profile will it take all the stuff that it has. Cause I'm afraid you can
Get malware like other sites said.

Elitegate. wrong again. Some apps do install a configuration profile on an iPod
Elitegate wrote:
Note: The App is nothing without the profile. You can't install a custom theme through an App - the App needs the profile.
I did this once and my iPod got kinda slow and i deleted the profile. But its good that you uninstalled both.
So, no you don't need to worry. You only need to worry if you jailbreak your iPod or install a profile (Jailbreaking is like installing custom profiles on your devices) - so stay away from that.
In a profile can be malicious things too. But without those things you don't have too worry because there exists no viruses and malware for original not modified iOS devices.

Is it fair that apple make your device out of date

It really is not right that apple can make your device outdated when there is nothing wrong with it.
I have 2 ipads ones, 1 ipad two, 1 iphone four, 1 iphone two, and 1 ipod touch two.
The Ipod touch and the iphone 2 work fine but are becoming more and more useless because nearly all apps are incompatible. 4
why cant you download older versions of the apps that are compatible with your device?
I always update to the latest operating software that it will "allow" but this only out dates the devices as you can't update to an iOS system that is compatibles with most apps, Most apps will not upload to old iOS even though i am on the most update one i can get.
This is apples way of making you buy new devices and making yours obsolete!! not fair, not right!
I want to download BBC iplayer, a basic everyday app but this is incompatible, i can go on Safari but this defeats the object of the apps.
COME ON APPLE i am a good customer not happy, will all my many other devices soon be "made" out of date and obsolete soon?

Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
Regarding update the iPa 1, the iPad does not have enough memory available to the OS for a higher iOS version. While the iPad 1 and 4G iPod touch both use the same A4 processsor and 256 MB of memory, the more pixals on the iPad meands that less memory is avaialbe for the OS since the display uses system memory

Why does the Adobe Standard profile make a mess of old NEF files?

Recently I've been reprocessing some old NEF files taken with the Nikon D50 camera years ago, and I was startled to find that the Adobe Standard camera profile does a bad job on them: the photos come out muddy-looking, really unacceptable, with too much yellow and magenta. I can fix the problem by choosing the Camera Standard profile, which gives acceptable results. However, I believe that Adobe Standard is generally recommended by Adobe, and I wonder what the problem is here. Does anyone know?
I currently use a Nikon D7000, and Adobe Standard seems to work well enough with that camera.
Later: After checking and comparing more carefully, I think that perhaps I prefer Camera Standard with the D7000 too. Adobe Standard is certainly acceptable with the D7000, but Camera Standard gives blue skies of clearer blue, and less exaggerated reds. So the best fix for me is probably to make Camera Standard my default for all cameras.
Looking around the Web, I see various people complaining about too much magenta with Adobe Standard, although other people are happy with it.

Yammer P, thanks for the input. I have been working with the DNG Profile Editor since the first version was available. I also started using the Passport software when it was first available. I first worked on a profile for the D200 and after many attempts I finally have one that works great. The Camera profiles did not exist at that time and the D200 does not have Picture Control Profiles, I believe that was first available with the D300. Adobe did generate Picture Control Profiles for the D200 and they are also available in Nikon Capture NX2.
I currently have a D700, and have spent a lot of time working on profiles for this camera. I have used the DNG Profile Editor's Chart Tab to generate profiles for most of the Camera Profiles and Adobe Standard. I find that Adobe Standard profile is brighter than the Camera profiles by about 0.25 stop. After working on this for about 2 years I have decided to use the Camera Neutral with a modified tone curve and slight reduction in saturation as my starting point and no changes in hue. I also generated a modified Picture Control profile for Neutral using the Nikon Picture Control software that has the same characteristics and loaded it into the camera. I get good agreement between jpg's from the camera and the nef file that opens in ACR without adjustments. The tone curve I used only has three points - the In/out values are 27/22, 127/127, 228/233 and saturation was set to -5.
I don't understand what Adobe changed when they genrated the Adobe Standard Profile instead of the ACR4.x versions, but I like the ACR4.x version better.

Does ITunes show updates compatible with your device only or all available updates?

If iTunes is showing thy iOS 6.1 is available as an update does that mean it's compatible with my device for sure?

Just the latest signed one that is compatible with your iPhone.

How many time does apple take to check if your device applies for the recycling program and you get a gift card?

My question to those reading this. How many more posts do you think it will take for the issue to really be fixed? 100??
You need to know that this isn't a support forum. It was created by Verizon as a place for customers to help each other. You can post all you want, but Verizon doesn't respond to issues here. If you want to get a message to Verizon you need to call or chat with them.
Occasionally, the Verizon moderators will escalate specific customer issues to their support team, but I wouldn't count on any posts here resulting in any action from Verizon. Note that the strongest message you can send Verizon is to send them less or zero money as a result of downgrading or canceling your service.
Now, if you'd like help from other users post some details. There are a bunch of helpful people lurking here just waiting to jump in. But you have to give us a real issue and not a complaint about Verizon.
Good Luck.

Does anyone know how to reset your security questions?? I loaded an itunes gift card on new ipod but when trying to make a purchase, itunes is asking us the incorrect security questions?! (for 1st time purchase) I know the questions are not what I chose because I wrote the questions & answers down when setting up the ipod. Any ideas??!!!

Reset Security Questions
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
Manage My Apple ID
Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
If all else fails:
1. Go to: Apple Express Lane;
2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
3. Then choose iTunes Store;
4. Then choose Account Management;
5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
      Continue;
6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
      like your security/challenge questions reset;
8. Click Send/Continue.
You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
Another user had success doing the following:
I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
      tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
      "done", in the upper right corner
c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
      Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
      should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
      security questions.
d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
      selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
      should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
      questions.
It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
Good Luck friends!

Does "Erase All Content and Settings" on iPhone 5 removed my Provisioning Profile (developer's account)?

"Your device does NOT have a camera"

What's up with that??? My previous iPhone was just replaced with a refurbished one. It's a 3G and the camera is indeed there but since I had no camera icon on any of my screens so I installed CamZoom. When that app is launched, I get a "Your device does NOT have a camera" message. Have rebooted and restored. Any ideas or do I have to make my third trip to an Apple store? (that's getting very, very old)

The native Camera app cannot be deleted. But, there are two possibilities:
1) It's turned off in Settings > General > Restrictions. If so, enter your passcode and toggle it back ON.
2) You have an Exchange account on the phone. The Exchange server can be set to disable the camera, so if that's the case you'd need to delete the Exchange account or convince your IT department to remove the restriction.

Yes, home sharing requires both to be on the same wifi network. As it stands access to the network requires the login via webpage, which cannot be done on Apple TV. You will need to speak to IT in order to grant access for the device.

You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
Other things you can do to gain space.
Once you have around 15 GBs regained, do a search, download and install OmniDisk Sweeper.
This app will help you locate files that you can move/archive and/or delete from your system.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

What's wrong with my device? It does not allow me to make calls with Skype or Viber... Can someone help?

What's wrong with my device? It does not allow me to make calls with Skype or Viber... Can someone help?

My device is a Blackberry Z30. Skype and Viber just to work fine. I had to travel abroad and turn off data services while traveling outside of the US but the applications worked just fine with Wi-Fi. Suddenly they stopped working to make calls. I can still send text messages, but when I try to do a voice or video call (in the case of skype), it only says "failed call" and when I try to call using Viber I get an error message that says the I can not use the application until I complete my GMS call which is ridiculous because I'm not using the phone other than trying to place my call through Viber. The interesting thing is that when I go the permission page in my security settings everything indicates that its on but is gray out and I do not have access to change any setting. The same in both applications. The rest of the applications are accessible to change settings. I already uninstalled skype and reinstalled it and still the same problem. I'm ready to back up everything and wipe out the device to original settings.

HT4009 "Sorry, your device doesn't support the payment". Trying to make in app purchase.

Hi, i am trying to make an in app purchase in the game Iron Force, but keep getting a screen pop up that says "Sorry, your device doesn't support the payment". I have already tried to trouble shoot this, I went into settings and made sure in app purchases were on, I also checked my I tunes account and verified my info. Also I have hard reset the phone, and the app, turned the phone off and on, deleted the app and reinstalled it on my iphone. I am stuck, if anyone can help me that would be great. Thank you.
