Find and delete ALL of the .ipsw files on your computer. Your profile does not say what OS your are using, but they are located here:
OS X ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
XP C:\Documents and Settings[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
Vista & 7 C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
You will most likely have to turn on "show all hidden files" to find it. There should be only one .ipsw file, but delete ALL that you find. Connect your phone to itunes & try and restore again. This will force itunes to re-download the current firmware. Make sure any firewalls and anti-virus are turned OFF before you attempt to do so.
If this fails, find another computer and try restoring as new on that machine. If near an Apple store, they will restore for you, but best to make an appointment.

Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

Backup and Restore not working or am I missing something??

I installed the Desktop Manager primarily to be able to save the info on my computer. Only problem is when I go to Backup and Restore the button that allows me to backup (or restore) is not highlighed so it's not allowing me that option. All it will allow me to access is the 'advanced' and 'options button' on the Backup and Restore window. I don't want to lose all my info again if the phone crashes so please HELP! And it took me about 10 tries before the Desktop Manager successfully loaded on my computer so not sure if the problem was in the installation but when I look at the Desktop Manage window it shows 'disabled' and also doesn't allow me to choose any of the options on the bar at the top. How do I enable this program?? When I tried loading the disk I got some message about now being able to run Adobe scripts so not sure if that might be part of the problem.
Solved!

Just realized that I had the backup and restore window open when I wrote the above post and when I closed that the window for the Desktop Manager did allow me to access the toolbar at the top but the Desktop Manager is still disabled.

Iphone 3gs- updated to the ios 5.0.1... since then i plugged it into itunes, an now my phone restarts itself every 3-4 minutes! Restored 4 times and still not working help please!!!!!

iphone 3gs- updated to the ios 5.0.1... since then i plugged it into itunes, an now my phone restarts itself every 3-4 minutes!!! it so annoying! its useless, i cant do anything with it. restored it 4 times and its still doing it!!! please help!!!
i contacted o2 and they said id have to pay to get it fixed after sending it away for ten days if their was a fault, when im still under warranty!! contacted apple who will get back to me!

I am assuming you updated to version 5.1.1, not 5.0.1 since no legitimate version of 5.0.1 is available.
Where is this iPhone from and what means did you use to unlock it?

IPhone 4s Getting Hot for no reason and wifi not working help?

The otherday my phone was in my pocket and I could feel it getting hot, so I pulled it out of my pocket and noticed it was a lot hotter than it should be, after noticing this I noticed that my wifi was not connected so I checked SETTINGS<WIFI and there was no connections, the little icon just kept spinning and spinning, so then I toggeled it off and on, no luck, turn airplane mode on and off still no luck, I even toggled of my mobile data no luck.
I preformed a reboot, (held both lock and home button together) and checked again, NOTHING.
I then turnt it off for 10 mins ( held lock button slid red icon across) and the phone got colder and then the wifi started working again.
then last night it did it again, I have taken the phone out of its case and changed the charger(just incase these were affected it), I then tried everything again, it helped but not for long, tonight it has done the same thing so I thought nothing of it, il just do what I had previously done,
BUT NO! not even resetting network settings helped, neither did erasing all data, neither did placing the phone into restore mode, restoring via itunes and then setting the phone up as new, just incase the backups contained software glitches causing the wifi not to work.
I have been screen shotting the phone in and out of charge showing no wifi connections are showing for proof for when I take it to the apple store thursday (everyother day was fully booked).
Being that my phone still is covered by apple care, Ive got proof that it is defective/tempermental(incase it starts working again and then stops) and obviously they can have a look at it, take it apart or whatever i dont care I want it fixed! but will they replace it?(the whole phone) and also will it be for free as ive still got apple care warrenty and it is hardware problems?
ALSO i never had any problems with 5.1.1 so I hope if i get a replacment it will be 5.1.1 as I wont update until 6.0.1 is stable enough

*also, i have just reset all settings again and my wifi connections have appeared! this is taking the P*** now apple sort it out!

Rock Band 3 keyboard and GarageBand not working - help!

i'm having trouble using my Rock Band 3 keyboard as a MIDI input device to my Mac Pro (Lion) running GarageBand.
i'm using a generic midi-USB converter cable
i connected the keyboard & computer, plugging the midi IN plug of the cable into the midi OUT socket of the keyboard.
RESULT:
RB3 keyboard: all 4 red lights on the keyboard flashes
Midi-USB converter cable: red power LED = on, amber "IN" LED flashes about 3x per second
GB: program does 'detect Midi device'
BUT, pressing keys on keyboard has no effect, and there is no indicator on bottom blue display panel of GB when i press a key.
PS: if i REVERSE the connection, just in case teh cable was wired wrong (plug midi OUT cable into midi OUT socket), it still doesn't work, but 2 differences:
RB3 keyboard: a single red led comes on (opposed to all 4 red lights on the keyboard flashing)
Midi-USB converter cable: red power LED = on, IN and OUT LEDs stays off
help!
thanks!

Eraser and Brush Not Working Correctly (picture)

For some reason photoshop at times will only let me erase or draw within the confines of a specific layer. It seems to happen randomly without me accidently hitting a hotkey of some sort.
For instance in the image below, I was drawing and randomly I noticed I could no longer draw. It would only let me use the brush/erase tool within the confines of the line work I had already established. Please see image below to clearly illustrate the problem. The only way I have been able to correct this so far is to completely restart photoshop.
Thanks

Thanks for posting more info. So you say you're simply unable to paint anything on the AnimalSketches02 file?
Honestly it looks as though everything is in order. It's maybe a bit less common to be painting on a transparent layer than painting on a solid layer, but clearly it works for you some of the time.
Only thing I can think of is to try resetting the Brush Tool to see if that helps bring function back (right click in the little brush icon near the upper-left corner), and also checking to see if any display driver updates may be available. What video card do you have? I ask, because if it's ATI you probably want Catalyst 12.8 drivers, specifically, rather than any newer ones.
I assume you're sketching using a tablet. You might also want to check to see if maybe the problem is that pen pressure is being lost somehow. Does the cursor move? What happens if you then try to use the mouse to paint a stroke?

TS3217 Back up and restore not working

My iphone 5 had been playing up and took it to my nearest store where they replaced the handset. Restored to back up and now I can't use one of the applications - 'My folder' by Yummy Apps Inc as passcode is denied and my music hasn't been restored, any advice?
I have rang Apple on this at length on the day I got the new handset - last sunday and got no where, I even went back into the store where they could not help.

On the device go to your address book. Hit the menu key and go to Options. Click on the the the contacts list in question. You should see an entry for the number of entries and another menu item for "Wireless Syncronization." Set Wireless Syncronization to 'No." Then try your restore again.

Backup and restore not working.

Hello, I hope someone can help!
I backed-up my phone on 21-May as I had to send it for repairs.
I just got it back updated the Android software and now I am trying to restore my contacts.
Unfortunately, when I try to do so, using the PC Companion, it is switching to Xperia Transfer and then telling me...
"New Xperia back-up required
Your Sony Xperia Z (C6603) backup was made with an old Android version which is not compatible with this application.
Please update your old Xperia phone/tablet to the latest available Android version, then make a new backup of your old Xperia phone/tablet using the Backup & Restore application. [I tried this, it only restores photos and videos, won't restore contacts]
Once done, start this guide again and select your new backup."
As the phone was wiped when I sent it for repair, I cannot back it up!
How can I retrieve the contacts I backed-up last month? I am sure they are on the computer, but I can't get them back onto the phone...
Thanks,
Cormac

Spend the money on one or two external hard drives instead, and set up Time Machine to back up to those drives. That will do a lot more for you than DiskWarrior.
"Thank you BDAqua for your input,
Took it to the store to have some professional experts take a look at my computer, however all were convinced I lost the data and was no longer able to retrieve it. Took your advise and bought DiskWarrior. Problem was fixed in 5 minutes!! and all my data are still there. Perfect! Thanks for your input and putting a smile on my face again.

Re: WinXP and Java not working, help!

Oh, nevermind...
I found a way to fix it by including the directory which contains the project in the CLASSPATH. Seems like overkill, but it solved the problem.

Scripting is turned on.
The weird thing is that I don't get an errormessage.
I can see in the bottom of my screen what should
d happen, but nothing happens.I think there's an icon to the left of the message at the bottom of the screen - click (or doubleclick) it.
