My iphone 4S wont allow me to restore a bckup of icloud it has just rebooted the os and for over 24 hours i have been trying to fix it i use this phone for my job so i need help. when i try to restore it says "Your iphone could not be activated becuase the activation server is unavailable, If the problom presests goto apple.com/support" It has done this for 27 hours now PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

- Connect the iPod to the computer and see if iTunes sees it. If it sees it try to get the photos off the iPod.
- Next let the battery fully drain. It will likely take days. After charging for at least an hour try again
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My iPhone will not allow me to use the slide feature. I have restarted the phone several times. any suggestions?

Try rebooting. Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPhone should restart. See if you can use it when it comes back up.

Okay, so my friends think it is funny to change the passcode on my iPhone.
Maybe you should get new friends.
I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.
iCloud: Erase your device - Apple Support
This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone.

Iphone 3gs wont allow me to enter password

My iphone 3gs wont allow me to enter my password. the graphics on the phone seem to show the basic framework - ie boxes around the numbers etc.

Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

That indicates a hardware failure. Read here:

If nothing works, you most likely have a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple store to confirm.

My iphone 3g wont allow me to dowload any apps

What happens when you try?
Are you certain it is an iPhone 3G? I ask because the 3G can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1 and your signature states 4.2.7.

Hi nick_740,

Why can't I use the Glowing Edges on a photo? I am trying to follow a tutorial and when it gets to using that filter it stays grey and wont allow me to use it. It is really frustrating. I have changed images several times hoping it would change things but

I am following a tutorial in CS5 to learn how to make an image look like a drawing. When we get to the part where I am supposed to use the glowing edges filter it will not allow me to use it. why? I need to access it, how can I get around it?

Ask in the forum for whatever product you are talking about and by all means do provide some proper technical info like what program you actually mean, system info, document info etc..

I have just installed snow leopard and reset my admin name and password.
Likely because both occurred at the same time and/or you created another Admin user/ didn't allow the new Admin to admin the machine?
Hold c and boot off your Snow Leopard install disk and second screen in under the Utilities menu is Reset Password.
There is also a Single User mode (caution root user!) way to reset passwords on each account.

Before you do that, make sure at any opportunity to backup your files manually to a external drive and disconnect.

I have the 4th gen. Ipod Touch, for the past few weeks it has been super slow. Everytime I try to open any app, it closes, and wont allow me to use it. Help me! It's so frustrating..

I've tried backing it up on my computer, it works fine for a few hours. But, it just keeps acting slow. I've deleted atleast 20 apps, and have even tried using it less.. I don't know what could be the problem.. I also cant turn it off, because the lock button is broken. The nearest apple store is at least an hour away, and I never have time to drive that far..

- Restore from backup. (not clear of what " backing it up on my computer" means) See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.

Follow these steps to troubleshoot the above issues:
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.

If your IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx, you may not be able to access the Internet.
If you do not have a self-assigned IP address, see if other Wi-Fi devices on your network have Internet access.
If they do not, consult with your network administrator or ISP for further assistance.
If they do, reset network settings on your device by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings

HELP - OS X wont allow folder to restore

Hi
I'm trying to restore the Library folder for my user account. Something happened to all my settings and I figured if I restored the Library Folder from a time prior to my settings being lost, then all would be good.
However, TM (well OS X) will not allow me to copy the entire Library folder. Reason, OS X is obviously using some of the contents. therefore, OS X won't allow theses to be overwritten while in use. So then I though I would restore specific folders contained within the Library folder. Still had similar issues. OS X wouldn't allow files that were in use to be over written.
So then I drill down and try to restore specific folder and files. Again, similar issues as above.
Is there a way that the entire User Library folder can be successfully restored using TM, or perhaps to restore the entire User folder? I need to restore because not only do I lose things like Desktop settings, but also lost history in Safari, Address book setting and so on. It's so frustrating. something that should be a simple task seems to turn into a huge production.
Thanks
Stephen

I have restarted the MacBook, although I haven't verified the HD.
Why not? There's a good chance that's the problem. Do a +*Verify Disk+* first, then +*Repair Permissions.+*
I'm sure I can restore my Mac back to its previous state by using a folder by folder (or file by file) method, but this is painstaking. Surely there must be an easier way?
Maybe. See below.
By the way, my desktop and appearance settings seem to have gone haywire since installing Sophos Anti-Virus.
*BINGO !*

Uninstall that junk before doing anything else. It's worse than a virus. And since there are no viruses that run on OSX, you don't need it anyway.
Or, do a full system restore, per #14 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum). Pick a backup from before you installed it. That will put your entire system back the way it was at the time of the backup.

Once this is sorted out, here's the scoop: There are no viruses that run on OSX. None. Zip. Zero.
If you're running Windoze on your Mac, that's the same as running it on a PC, so it needs all the same anti-everything stuff you'd use on a PC.
There is some "malware," such as Trojans, for Macs, though. But (unlike viruses that can get onto your system without your knowledge), you must approve their installation (via your Admin password) and/or operation (via the "This application was downloaded from the internet ..." prompt).
For the gory details, see Thomas Reed's [Mac Virus Guide|http://www.reedcorner.net/thomas/guides/macvirus].
