Help please - cannot restore due to Activation Error message??
I have my husband's iPad and he has recently passed away. His iPad and iPhone say the following message" Activation Error: This device is not registered as part of the iPad developer Program...I've tried to restore them but they won't allow me. Help??
I don't want to lose any of his photos, am pretty sure he backed up before he passed away.
I can't use any of the devices because they are disabled.
I've tried setting them into Recovery Mode but it keeps stopping halfway through and telling me that the iPad cannot be restored.
Error 1604:
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the USB 30-pin dock-connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for error 1604.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and re-open iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

cannot go to cmd+V or S, I cannot change my password. -error message ===boot file path system library coreservices boot.efi.... Please help.
Got it thanks macjack . Command + S on restart.
In this case Nad69-Breizh did you try restarting with the option key down and re-selecting the boot drive.
If no Recovery option, try command option R for internet recovery. Takes some time to load up. -
3M App - Adobe Activation Error message - Cannot download ebooks
Please Help Me, Im really missing my eBooks!!
Adobe Activation Error Message is displayed when I select an ebook (that is already checked out and in "my books") to download onto my device so i can read it. Message says "You have reached your activation limit. you cannot read eBooks on this device until an activation is released from another device"
Thru chat and phone I have contacted adobe customer care twice already, the first time they helped me get ebooks downloading in 3M onto my desktop, but my android phone is where i need to download ebooks.! The second guy told me he cant do anything else becuz my Adobe ID is showing 4 remaining activations and he cant reset any activations untili am at the max limit of 6 devices... HELP! I have used 3M on 6 devices but i no longer have access to 4 of them.It is puzzling that the customer care rep said you have 4 remaining device activations on your Adobe ID, but the 3M app said you reached the limit.
Do you have a second Adobe ID or perhaps a 3M ID that you have used in the past? Adobe supports account joining, which allows you to activate a device with multiple IDs (Adobe or third-party), so that you can read books purchased under multiple accounts on a single device.
It's possible that your Adobe ID has 4 remaining activations but that it is joined to another account which has 0 remaining.
You can check if your Adobe ID is joined to another account at Adobe Account Synchronization.
If you do find a second account, you might be able to work around this by having a customer care rep reset the activations for the second account. -
TS3992 i cannot have a backup on itunes. it says cannot backup due to an error occured
When i connect my iphone to itunes, it says cannot backup due to an error occured.. This started happening all of a sudden.. Please find me a solution for this.. I really need a backup of the phone in my laptop.

FaceTime & Messages now won't open on my iPad. Now no toggle switch in settings. Log in with my Apple ID sends activation error message 'try again'. Both Apps work on my iPhone & Mac.Any help?
Adjusting the date or time didn't do anything for me either. I'm guessing my two options are to either do the full restore from scratch and not apply any backup ... Or possibly wait for an iOS update that might resolve this issue.
I'm not that much of an avid twitter user that I need it implemented natively in all my devices - so for now I'll probably value all my game save data, internal settings in apps e.t.c. over that functionality (or over the amount of work it would be to get me back to where I am now after a full wipe). I'll see what happens after the next iOS delta update. I'll reevaluate the full wipe after that if the issue hasn't been resolved -
my ipad 3 is stuck in the "connect to itunes" mode. whether i restart or try to restore. when i try to restore itunes gives an error message saying an unknown error occurred (-1). any help.
That error sometimes indicates a hardware problem. See 2nd link below.

I'm getting an error message on Windows 8. Missing apple application support. Itunes will not install. Please help!!, I'm getting an error message on Windows 8. Missing apple application support. Itunes will not install. Please help!!
You probably need to either uninstall and reinstall itunes or to download the apple application support by itself
you can download the itunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/ here
then to do a complete uninstall / reinstall follow these instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
you could also use 7zip to extract the individual installer for apple application support from the itunes setup file http://www.7-zip.org -

have added name to Sql server , users cannot access the report, getting error message ,
I have give all the permission to this users, so why this users still cannot look at the report,
and getting error message,
An error has occurred during report processing.
cannot create a connection to data source Ax live
for more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine or enable remote errors.
can some please help me what this message means,
I really appreciate it
thanks In advanceIf "Credentials supplied by the user running the report" is selected, when the report is run, the user will be prompted to provide credentials. They would need to provide credentials that have the appropriate permissions (e.g., read, execute) to the
database. This prevents the double hop.
If "Credentials stored securely in the report server" is selected, you have to enter the username and password of a user (or service account) that has the appropriate permissions (e.g., read, execute) to the database. When the report is run, SSRS will use
these stored credentials each time to authenticate to the database engine and query the data. Users running the report are not prompted to provide credentials. With this option you can use an Active Directory or SQL Server account.
In order to access/run the report, a user will need to authenticate to SSRS. There are options here as well. You can provide them the link to the report manager and they can authenticate, navigate to, and run the report. You can also provide
direct links to reports that users click in a document or application. At this point the user is typically still prompted to authenticate to SSRS. You can also programmatically call the report using API's and essentially build a proxy that authenticates
to SSRS and open the report.
Not sure if that answers your question. -

My iphone suddenly crashed and asked for restoration, however itunes sends error message of host not available (3014), what should I do?
Try -
Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
Install the latest version of iTunes.
Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

BF tried to update to ios6 on iphone 4 but crashed half way through saying it needed to plugged into iTunes and then restored so after it was 'restoring' he had an error message come up say to couldn't be restored....what should be do next as the phone is in a complete non working condition
Spent hours trying everything suggested and finally this morning hit on a solution. iTunes must be run as an administrator. Even though you are logged into your PC as an administrator, using the iTunes shortcut does not make you an administrator in iTunes. I found this out by using the diagnostics in iTunes and reading through the results report.
I am using Windows 7, so I clicked the start button and right clicked on iTunes and selected "Run as an adimistrator". The first restore attempt got the 4013 error. I then did the DFU thing, hold power and home buttons for 10 seconds, release power and continue holding home for 10 more seconds.
iTunes gave me the restore message and I clicked it. I clicked the restore iPhone button and it started. The drivers loaded a couple of times. I got the apple logo with the progress bar and this time instead of disappearing, it started to fill in.
End result, a successful restore to factory settings and a happy 14 year old.
Hope this helps others.
