Hold the home and screen lock buttons down until you get a white apple. May take  quite a few seconds

  • How Do I Fix this "Internal Error" Message that Prevents Me Going to this Website?

    This is what the message popup says...
    "Internal Error
    Passed an unsupported xpath step ("(") to GetElementsByxPath"
    The website is avas.class.com, and this website is important because I sign-in to my account and take notes from the textbook content for my homework. This website works fine at the school, the library computers, and my desktop HP computer with Windows 7 software. I log into my account and everything's okay, until I get to the textbook stuff that's divided into lessons and different pages.
    My laptop is recently purchased on the Tuesday of Thanksgiving week. It's the Satellite P55-A5312 model. The only recent changes I've made is downloading proxpn.com free wireless protection software, downloading CCleaner, activating my account with pre-installed Norton security, and uninstalling the WildTangent game program. I also have Windows 8.1 version on this laptop.

    have Windows 8.1 version on this laptop.
    So you have Internet Explorer 11. Run the desktop version - not the one on the Start screen.
    The error is from JavaScript. Try turning it off as follows. On the Tools menu (tap the Alt key if you don't see it), click Internet options. On the Security tab, select the Internet zone. Click the Custom Level button. In the "Security Settings – Internet Zone" dialog box, set Disable for Active Scripting in the Scripting section. It's near the bottom. OK out.
    If that doesn't take care of things, reset IE11. It's the same as IE10.

  • New unlocked BB9930 from Sprint "Activation Required" message

    Hello Team,
    I have purchased an unlocked non-camera BB9930. I am using this in India on Vodafone. I am facing the following issues:
    1. Activation Required message on the main screen
    2. Not able to use BB services like EMail, BBM, App World
    Note: My number has BB services activated which i was using on my old BB9000 for more than 1year. Only handset has changed.
    I am able make calls, send text, browse web. Basically the device is working like a normal handset minus BB features.
    I have tried:
    1. Memory wipe from handheld
    2. Resetting to factory defaults
    But the above has not resulted in any success so far.
    Appreciate a solution/suggestion.
    Thanks,
    AMOL

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
    2) Delete and Resend Service Books
    KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
    If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
    3) Reboot
    With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
    See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
    Good luck!

    How do I delete excess email messages from my iPhone.  There are 300 messages listed, and every time I delete some, more are added from old messages.  How do I limit the number of messages that can appear on my phone?  How can I delete messages in bulk,

    You can't.
    All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the Photo Library. The photos in the album or albums below are not duplicates - they include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. This way you can view the photos in a particular album only by selecting the album, or you can view all photos available in all albums by selecting Photo Library.
    Just as with an iTunes playlist. A song cannot be in an iTunes playlist unless the song is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song. Remove the main iTunes library or the songs from the main iTunes library that are in a playlist and the songs will no longer be in the playlist either. This way you can listen to the songs in the playlist only by selecting the playlist, or all songs in your entire iTunes library by selecting Music under Library in the iTunes source list.
    The same with iPhoto on a Mac. A photo cannot be in an in iPhoto Event or Album unless the photo is in the main iPhoto library. Placing a photo in an Event or Album does not duplicate the photo. This way you can view the photos in an iPhoto Event or Album only by selecting the Event or Album, or all photos in all Events or Albums.

  • How can I get rid of this message that keeps popping up: Widevine Media Optimizer Update Available? Don't know what it is but don't want it.

    How can I get rid of this message that keeps popping up:
    Widevine Media Optimizer Update Available? Don’t know what it is but don’t want it.

    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
    You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

  • How do you make a photo in DW that changes automatically in a loop and needs  no visable buttons

    How do you make a photo in DW that changes automatically in a loop and needs  no visable buttons?

    I'm sorry to be so vague. I have recently found out that what I want 
    to do is put my images in a javascript image rotator. I have looked 
    this up on google and have now tried about 6 different codes. I try to 
    follow the insert directions but I must be doing something wrong. I 
    get the first photo linked up but can never make the picture change to 
    show the other two photos in the image folder.
    Can you direct me as to how this works in dw?
    Thank you so much for helping.

  • My ipod is showing an "activation required" message on my home screen and the slider to unlock it is not working.  I've had it for 2 years and had no problems and then it randomly locked up on me and won't let me do a reset.  Any way to fix this?

    I haven't been able to use my ipod for a month because its stuck on a screen that says "Activation Required" and the slider to unlock it is unresponsive.  I've drained the battery and recharged it, I've tried resetting it.  When I try opening it in iTunes it tells me its unable to access it because the iPod is locked with a passcode, which I can't enter on my iPod because the slider is unresponsive.  Any help?

    next thing i would think of is to ask bestbuy apple retailer or bestbuy pple to help u out from here bc im not sure what to do next if u cant get it into dfu mode.
    all i can think of is to hold home and power for 30 seconds in the meantime of showing the apple sign at least once or twice.
    either that, home and power flashes once and 1/2 sec later release power while holding home still and plug it in wihout trying to let go the home button. dont even let go until itunes says somthing remotly saying anything ...lol

  • Help! Recurrent "activation required" message after upgrade to iOS 8.1

    Hello,
    I recently upgraded to iOS 8 (directly from iOS 7 to version 8.1). Ever since, my phone keeps giving me a message saying "Activation Required" (see images). I am able to activate my phone normally, if I'm logged in to iCloud I have to enter my e-mail and password every time (so I logged off from iCloud for now).
    The problem is:
    - This happens at least 10 times a day, even more.
    - The phone can only be activated on wifi (3G and LTE never work, although the phone gives me the option to try these)
    - When the activation is required and if I don't have wifi to do it, the phone is completely blocked - I can't get out of the activation page, no way to see my home screen or access any of the apps, not even the camera, nothing!
    I've taken it to Apple store and first they told me to delete everything and start as a new phone. It didn't work. Then I went again and they did a "full delete" (a different way of resetting my phone as a new phone) and installed iOS 8.1 from one of their computers, which they said was different from doing it from my computer. The guy was sure he had solved my problem, but I got the activation message a few hours later.
    Now Apple tells me it's a problem with my carrier. My carrier, of course, says this is a problem with the phone.
    I don't know what to do! The phone is less than 1 year old and I had no plans to buy a new one in the next year or so...
    Does anyone has the same messages?
    Does anyone has an idea why my phone is asking for activation so often??
    Any help will be appreciated!
    Julia.
    iPhone 5
    iOS 8.1

    I'm still having the same problem. I've been going to the Apple Store every week. I was able to talk to someone in my carrier store (Fido Canada) and the guy was really nice, he really tried everything, changed settings of the network, changed the IMEI number in their system (my iPhone has been replaced and their system still showed the old IMEI number). I went back a couple hours later and he had really done a lot of research and talked to people. The phone was ok for a couple of hours, but then asked for activation again.
    I went to the Apple Store genius bar last week (4th or 5th time), I was ready to get a new phone but the guy told me he had found the issue. My phone was not registered with the carrier, where it should say "Fido Canada", it was empty. He was able to change that (network "elevation" or "escalation" or something like that), he checked again and it had been changed to Fido. The phone was working great for 4 or 5 hours this time, but then the activation screen came back. :-(
    I don't know what to do anymore. I'm SURE it's not a problem with my phone, but it's a configuration issue, either with the carrier network or the software, but no one seems to know what to do!
    Going back to the Apple Store this wednesday, hope someone will be able to figure this out!
