Hi.iforgot to erase iphone 4s and removed it from my friends icloud account.now itunes says this account cannot be used to activate this iphone.i have his id and password,can log in to his icloud account but cant activate iphone.how to solve this problem?

hi.i bought an iphone 4s from my friend.connected to itunes to restore it for a fresh install.after restoring to ios7 i realised that activation lock is enabled.i called my friend and get his id and pass.itunes said pass is wrong and cant activate the phone.then i logged in my friends icloud account (icloud.com said pass is ok) with same password and i removed the phone from 'find my iphone' list.but i forgot to erase the phone before removing it.now itunes says ''this apple id cannot be used to activate this iphone''.when i log in to icloud i cant see the phone in 'find my iphone' list so cant erase it now.can you please advise me step by step how to activate this phone?

APPLE says:If the previous owner is not present
Make sure the device is powered on and connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. Then contact the previous owner and ask them to follow these steps:
Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
Select the device from their Find My iPhone device list by clicking All Devices at the top of the screen.
Erase the device by clicking the Erase button. This will erase all content and settings from the device. When prompted, do not enter a phone number or message. Click Next until the device is erased.
When the erase is complete, click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from the account.
After the device has been erased and removed from the account, you can proceed with the device setup process.
i forgot to erase the phone.i just removed it without erasing.

Hi the_mad_movies,
It seems like this article will be the best option for addressing this issue:
Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"

Upside down pdf file. Rotated and save but still upsided. How to solve this problem?

I received a pdf file that is upside down. Rotated and saved. When I open the file, it is still upsided. How to solve this problem?

Hi,
I think you are rotating the PDFs from View and rotate. it would only change the current View of the PDF.
Kindly click on Tools on the right hand side > Pages > Rotate. then save the PDF.
Let me know if it helps.

After installing latest iTunes I began having R6034 error messages, found and tried fox of removing 5 Apple programs and reinstalling iTunes. Now iTunes says my library cannot be accessed because it was created with a newer version of iTunes. HELP!

After installing latest iTunes, I began getting R6034 Runtime Error messages, found fix of removing 5 Apple programs, reboot and reinstall iTunes. Seemed to work but now getting error message that my iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl) cannot be read because it was created with a newer version of iTunes. Need Help!!!

Try the following user tip:
Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash

I am unable to empty the trash. it keeps saying that it is being used by another task. I have tried rebooting and problem persist.

I am not very computer savy and am hoping one of you can give me an easy fix. I am unable to empty my trash. A window pops up and says, "the trash can't be emptied because it is being used by another task, such as moving or copying an item or emptying trash. Try again when current task is complete." That has been going on for several days. I did discover that my trash contained over 2,000 items. When I tried to empty them this is what happened. I also must have on auto save because everything I've ever worked on is saved.
HELP???

Did you by any chance hit Secure Empty Trash? Restart then see if holding down the Option (alt) key while hitting Empty Trash works.

HT204053 how do i verify my icloud I've been trying to set up my iCloud account for the past two days and it's telling me to check my email to verify. There's nothing there. I can log in with my Apple id but that's where I'm at. It's driving me nuts.

Have you tried your spam folder? it could have gone there by default. also, are you sure you put the correct email in for iCloud?

Go into Settings App and turn OFF Find My iPhone. It will ask for your old password, but in the future you can use your new Apple ID account. If you need to reset the old password try this: https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid?language=US-EN&returnURL=https ://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa&app_id=93&app_type=ext

Go to Settings/General/Reset - Erase all content and settings. the connecto to iTunes and restore as a New phone. Do not restore any backup. If the problem persists you have a hardware problem. Take it to Apple for exchange.
This assumes that the phone is not hacked or jailbroken. If it is you will have to go elsewhere on the internet for help.

HT4865 I don't have enough storage space on my iPhone 4S to download the new OS7 so how do I save it to iCloud and remove it from my iPhone to make room but not loose the deleted stuff from iCloud?

You can't use iCloud like that. It isn't a general file storage service; it's designed to sync data across your devices.
Some options are to sync all your music or other media off your device, then sync it back on after you update. Another is to import your photos to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then sync them back to your phone after you update by putting them in a folder, then selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

Hi NWL1,
