You'll likely get more help in the Illustrator forum.

    Has the software on your phone been modified before you tried to update the firmware? If yes, jailbreaking the phone could be the reason for your problem.
    If the device has not been jailbroken, try these steps:
    Restart the iPhone.
    Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
    Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
    Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
    Restore the iPhone.
    If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.

  • I daughter's iPod touch is password locked and authorized to computer that doesn't exist anymore. i want to set it up on my iTunes but it won't recognize it because of the failed password attempts. what can i do?

    My daughter's ipod touch is password locked and attached to a computer that doesnt exist anymore. i want to authorize it to my computer itunes account but itunes wont even read it due to the password failure. what can i do?

    That's by design. The password is designed to protect the user's information and cannot be circumvented. You can restore it to "new" condition though, and sync it to your computer. The iPod Touch's content will be securely erased by doing this.
    Refer to iOS: Unable to update or restore. Follow the instructions exactly as written.

  • Reinstalled Illustrator CS2 but can not activate

    HELP!  I replaced my computer and reinstalled Illustrator CS2 (works fine for me, I don't need an upgrade) but it won't allow me to activate over the internet and when calling the activate over the phone it simply tells me to go to the adobe.com/go/activate site.
    This of course tells me to uninstall and reinstall. That is not the issue.
    How do I keep this program to which I paid for, active now that I have re-installed it on my new computer?

    laurens,
    Adobe has stopped the activation servers, so you need to go to this Adobe page and use the non activation CS2 version(s) along with the relevant replacement serial number(s):
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2%5Fdownloads
    If you have the Premium suite, you will have to download Acrobat and GoLive separately.

  • Failed sync tests - what can I do?

    A couple of weeks ago I went to use my iPod and, strangely enough, it told me everything was empty. It said that I no longer had anything that I'd put on it, however after looking in the "About" section of my 80GB iPod Classic it read as though it had 60GB used - all in the "other" section.
    This problem had just happened to my dad so I knew to try the 5R's... the only problem is, my iPod won't sync with my omputer anymore!
    When I plug it in it'll charge as my computer recognizes it, however after running a diagnostics report I received this message:
    **** iPhone/iPod Touch Sync Tests ****
    **No iPhone or iPod found.
    What should I do?! I can't restore it if it won't sync...
    How can I reestablish a connection?

    If the drive letter change doesn't work, there should be a way to manually reset the iPod from it's own interface.
    Since yours is an iPod classic, you can do this by holding down the "menu" and "enter" (middle button) buttons simultaneously until the apple logo appears on the screen.
    I don't know why it'd be metioning, "Phone/iPod Touch Sync Tests ****," seeing how yours, like mine is a classic.
    Btw, you can restore it if it doesn't sync. Often, iTunes will automatically let you do so when it can't access certain info about the unit. As long as iTunes can tell it's an iPod of some sort, then it should be able to restore it. It's too bad they stopped use of the iPod utility, separate from iTunes. You used to be able to wipe the whole thing with a windows or mac utility and restore it from there, but I've had problems with trying to do that with the built-in itunes version. Dumbing down the interface like that just makes it harder to troubleshoot.

  • When I connect my iPhone or my iPad, iTunes fails and closes. what can'I do to synchronise my sets?

    I can't synchronise my sets (iPad or iPhone). I receive folowing message: due to a problem, "Itunes failed and will be closed by windows". I need help to solve the problem.

    The best place to start is following along with ont of these Apple docs:
    iTunes for Windows XP: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
    iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
    Does iTunes work normally in another user account or in Safe Mode?

  • TS4062 ipad frozen, tried reset from rec. mode, usb cable showing on screen, waiting for ipad, then ipad fails to respond. what can i do?

    ipad mini froze when charging, have tried all restore options, when i get to waiting for ipad in itunes when restoring in recovery mode the usb cable disappears from the screen, the apple logo appears then the recovery line beneath logo, then there is no further response from ipad. have been trying to resolve this issue for couple days now very frustrated. can anyone help please?

    Use the charger that came with the iPad or a name brand charger of equal or greater capacity. Plug that into a known good wall outlet. Then wait at least an hour. While the iPad is still plugged in to the charger reset your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
    If the iPad restarts continue to charge it until the battery is at 100%
    If the iPad does not start Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.
