Hi Guys, so im getting an iphone 4S as a hamy-down and im gonna use it as an ipod without a SIM Card. Im going to put my backup data on it from my old device. How will I activate it? Can i use my family members SIM (SIM that has been used in an iPhone before) to activate it, then can i take it out and use it without a SIM.
Regards, PulseSol
You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed. So, yes, you'll need a sim card to activate the phone. The sim itself need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. While you can remove it, after the phone is activated, I recommend you don't. If you ever need to restore the phone, or update the iOS, you'll need a sim card installed to do so.
Make sure whoever is furnishing the phone to you, follows the directions here, before you get the phone:

The updated iPhoto program is cumbersome. I am trying to create a Christmas card and can't figure out how to get the fold of the card on the left and not on the top of the card. I had no trouble with this for the past two years. Can someone help?

Hello everyone I have a question I use my Apple ID for iMessage but I want to know if I can use my friends Apple ID just for the App Store, can I do that ????
First on a computer try editing your ID to change the payment method to None.
How do I change my Apple ID Name or personal information?
You can change your Apple ID Name at My Apple ID. Click on Manage your Apple ID and sign in with your Apple ID name and password. Click Edit and enter the new information, then click Save Changes. Changes take effect immediately. You can also use My Apple ID to change your personal information, such as your mailing address or email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
If problems see:
Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?
Last:
Create a NEW account using these instructions. You have to use an email address not used with Apple before.
Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

I WANT TO BUY A MAC BOOK PRO. MUST I WAIT FOR THE ONE WITH RETINA DISPLAY. WILL THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO CD ROAM BE A PROBLEM? CAN YOU USE AN EXSTERNAL CD ROAM WITH A MAC?
Apple will gladly sell you a color coordinated and texture matching external SuperDrive to go with your Retina'ized MBP for about $80 bucks.
Note that those models are completely sealed with no serviceable or upgradeable parts inside. So if you decide to bite the bullet, be sure to customize its guts to your heart's content from the get-go as no further change will be possible. This means CPU speed, amount of RAM and size of the solid state drive. Other external options, like the Superdrive, can be added later. -

I forgot the passcode to turn off restrictions. I have restored my iPad back to the factory settings and then synced it with the latest backup. The restrictions are still on and it is asking for the passcode. Can someone tell me how to get that off.
The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings. Hope you have a backup.
Follow the instructions in iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.

I purchased an iBook and when I try to download it I get sent in a circle. Message pops up that it's already been purchased & I need to go to store to download but it never downloads, stays in pause mode. I have been charged for the book but can't retrieve it. I've successfully purchased books before without trouble.very frustrated
Hi Peggs,
Try this:
Open your iBooks app on your iPad
Select the Store Button at the top
Select Purchased at the bottom
You will see your AppleID on the right at the bottom, then Redeem, then Support
Click on your Apple ID, and when the AppleID window comes up with the options, Sign Out
Then Sign In again and try redownloading your book
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

In iWeb I created a hyperlink to a file on my computer. When I publish I get a 404 error for the link. Can anyone help?
How would I check to see if the like works when I enable via the inspector pane
If you enable hyperlinks when you click on the link link to the pdf file it will open a browser window and display the pdf file.
I upload the pdf files to the server and link to them as if they were an external web page:
That's been more reliable for me than linking to the file as Link To: A file and have iWeb upload the pdf file to the serve. -
How do I set up a separate icloud account? Both my wife and I have an iPhone 4s and an iPad (1 and 3), but only one Mac. We are tired of our "stuff" getting mixed up together when we sync. Thanks much
You don't need separate iCloud accounts if you want to simply sync unique content to each device using iTunes. I have three iDevices using one ID and one iTunes library and each device has it's own content on it. You need to set up the sync configuration for each device. This is what I recommend.
First turn off auto sync in iTunes. Launch iTunes on the Mac and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from automatically syncing. Click OK and then quit iTunes.
Connect one of your devices to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Click on the device name on the left side under the devices heading.
Click on a tab in iTunes - Apps for instance.
Click on the Apps that you want to sync to that device.
Make sure that the Sync Apps heading is checked.
Follow the same procedure for all of the other tabs in iTunes ..... Music, Photos, Movies and so on.
After you have finished making all of your selections, click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
When you are done, eject the first device and do the same thing with the other device. iTunes will now remember the sync configuration on each device.
You can change that configuration any time that you like by following the steps outlined above.
If you want to continue to auto sync, turn it back on in the iTunes preferences as described above. -
Memory Could Not Be Allocated For the Activation of PhotoShop
CS2 Intel P4 3.0GhzHT, 3-4GB Ram WinXP
Photoshop won't open for me. It used to. Any idea how I might fix this?
When I try to open Photoshop, I get "Memory could not be allocated for the activation process. Please close all applications and try again."
I've done this with no applications after a fresh reboot and get the same message.
It only started recently. Photoshop used to open for me and was usable.
I got 3 or 4 GB of ram. I can't remember, but WinXP only sees about 3GB anyway. Either way should be more than enough, no?Lee71 wrote:
hey john, thanks for resuscitating the topic. I on XP and it’s PS8
I have defragged, cleaned disc, etc.
In terms of symptoms, PS opens up and once open the prompt comes up. I hit okay and it shuts down.
i have tried CTRL + ALT + SHIFT whilst PS boots up; i get the prompt "ÿou currently have Adobe Photoshops primary Scratch and Windows' primary paging file on the same volume, which can result in reduced performance. It is reommmended that you set PS Primary Scratch Volume to be on a differrent volume, preferably on a different physical dirve."
I guess this means reinstall, partition and set up on a partitioned drive? I don't particularly want to take this course of action if there is an alternative. It doesn't make sense given I've got plenty of space.
No no need for that!
The message about the scratch drive is normal: the CTRL + ALT + SHIFT resets the preferences to the default for a single HDD. If you have more than one, go into Edit > Preferences > Performance and set the primary scratch drive to the one without the paging file.
Once you have OK'd that message it should go away if you do only have one HDD.
Partitioning will not do anything. The object of the separate drives (if you have them) is to avoid conflict between Scratch and Page file.
Do you still have your original problem? -
In my macbookpro airport showing as uninstalled. How do I install and will belkin wireless USB adaptor support in macbokpro software version 10.6.8. Where do I download driver for the same

I'm new to MacBook Pro.
My system is Mac OS X v.10.6.8.
I used to work on my 3000 photos with GIMP on a P.C, but since I had a breakdown, I would like to carry on on my Mac as soon as possible.
Figuring out unaided a new OS after a breakdown is the best prescription for another breakdown.
Before going back to editing your photos, I suggest you need to familiarise yourself with your new OS. Get a book (eg, David Pogue's "Missing Manual…") -- now, that Lion's been out and about for some time, you can probably get the Snow Leopard (aka Mac OS X v10.6) edition at a discount. Take the time to read it and understand it, and you'll spare yourself a mountain of frustration. There are enough similarities between Mac OS X and Windows to fool you into believing almost everything works the same way, when, of course, it doesn't -- many similarities are only skin-deep.
Once you've done that, you'll be in a better position to install and use GIMP or look for alternatives.
where do I find the exact version (in french)
For French issues, you are probably better off checking the forums on MacBidouille or MacGeneration. -
hello m i just unlucked my iphone 3GS with AT&T , but when i restored my iphone it keep asking me for the activation what i can do ?
note : i dont have the at&t simYou need to put a sim card into the phone to be able to activate it - you can't activate a phone without a sim card.
If the phone has just been unlocked, then you don't need an AT&T sim card. Just put any sim card of your choice into the phone and if it is now unlocked, then it should work. -
Memory could not be allocated for the activation process. Please close all applications and tr again
Hello,
Just purchased a new laptop:
Intel Core 2 quad
4gb memory
1000 HDD
Photoshop CS 8.0 disc dead/scratched/unreadable. So I copied my Adobe folder from my Program Files Folder on my PC and pasted on laptop. When I try and run PS I get the error message "Memory could not be allocated for the activation process. Please close all applications and try again". Which I do then Photoshop closes.
Can anyone help (in layman terms please)?Not really. You are essentially FUBARd. Without a proper install, there is usually no way on to get the licensing stuff working. You might be able to get there by installing any other CS product, so PS could latch on to the licensing system that would be already in place, but otherwise it's a lost cause. Simply copying over the executables is normally not enough. I will admit though, that I skipped CS, so there may be some tool somewhere that I don't know about can do this post facto...
