    I don't understand. What "program" do you mean, and what do you mean by "rewrote"? If you mean that the iPhone has Activation Lock - that is, you restored the iPhone and now it's asking for the previous owner's Apple ID and password to activate the device - then you will need that information, or you'll need to get the previous owner to remove the device from his/her iCloud account:

    If you can't reach the previous owner or he/she is unwilling to cooperate, then the device is unusable by you.

    Hi runner_girl7585,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If you weren't ever able to watch your rental movie, you can report this to the iTunes Store:

  • How do you keep your iPhones and iPads separate under the same apple id

    I have a family of iPhones and iPads and one apple ID, well needless to say each device is getting face time calls and text messages from eachother. I might add it makes for some pretty interesting conversations. I would like to learn how to keep each device seperate under the same apple ID, or would it be better to set up seperate ID's for everything? Anyways, any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

  • The back up is on my work computer. Can I set it up as a new iphone and then later upload the info from itunes

    Hi,
    My phone got stolen and I just got my replacement iphone 4 today. I don't have the itunes back up on my computer, but I do have it backed up at work. I want to start using th phone- can i set it up as a new phone and then update it in a few days when I get to work.
    Thanks

    Yes, but the first time you sync with a new iTunes library it will delete any iTunes media an apps from your phone and replace them with the media in the iTunes library your are syncing with (purchased apps and music can be redownloaded for free: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).
    When you get to work, connect your phone to your computer, then right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and choose Restore From Backup.

  • HT4061 someone stole my iphone and i dont have the serial number. how can i find my iPhone?

    someone stole my iphone and i don't know how to use the find my iphone app.  i don't have the serial number. can somone tell me how to find my iphone?

    Having a serial number won't help you track it.
    If you set up and activate find my iphone on your iphone, then go to icloud.com and sign in to track your phone.
    That is the only way to track your phone.
    contact your cellphone provider and local authority.

  • I lost my iphone and i dont have the icloud app on how can i find it

    my iphone 4 was supposably stole i called the police and they said to track it. i tried and ithought i had the icloud app working but i guess not because my divice wasnt found is it possible to find it another way

    Only way to track it is if you had find my iphone installed and activated prior to losing your phone.
    Then you can go to icloud.com to track it.
    If you didn't do the above, then sorry nothing you can do to track it.  Report it to your phone carrier.

  • How can I prevent Magic Mouse from scrolling horizontally when I don't want it to?

    I recently purchased a Magic Mouse to go with OS 10.6 Snow Leopard. It's a great mouse but it causes 2 problems:
    If I leave it on "Scroll with interia" in System Preferences/Mouse, it scrolls horizontally when I don't want it to.  Since I mostly work in Word documents, I often lose my place in the document this way. On the other hand, checking "Scroll without inertia" makes vertical scrolling, which I do all the time, a lot harder.
    The mouse seems to cause what I think of as "fractures" in Word documents--words and parts of sentences will disappear or get crunched together , then reappear when I select the place where they vanished.  They also reappear if I scroll vertically to get the problem area off the screen and then return to it. This wastes a lot of time at best; at worst, I'm afraid I'll lose work.  The problem occurred once in a while with a Logitech bluetooth mouse I was using, but not as bad and not all the time.
    I love the mouse's ergonomics and would like to keep it, but if I can't solve this problem, I'll have to return it.  Would be very, very grateful for any tips!  Thanks.

    Always nervous about recommending sites I have no personal experience of.  On the plus side it doesn't relate to any of the bad sites I am familiar with and it appears to be the developer's site ... but there is no contact point for you to ask questions.  You said in your initial post it was to go with Snow Leopard but this version says it is meant for 10.7 and above.   Did you notice that?   I also notice several other references to Word and mouse and one person found the solution lay in the updating of word 2011 to its highest level.   I can offer no more.

  • How do I prevent Photos.app from automatically opening when I connect a camera

    I don't use Photos, except for a very small exception. I use Lightroom. I don't want Photos.app to open every time I plug in a device like my iphone or camera.
    In iPhoto, it was easy to opt out of this feature. I can find no such option with Photos.app.
    any solutions?

    Go to the System/Keyboard/Keyboard preference pane and check the checkbox circled below:
    Now go to this menu
    select Show Keyboard Viewer to get this:
    As you press the special keys you'll see what character the various keys will produce like this for the Option/Alt key

  • Why does my ipod touch stop playing songs when i click to play, it plays for a few seconds sometimes longer and then goes onto the next song. Help!

    Please help,my ipod touch stops playing songs sometimes a few seconds in and then other times halfway. It cant be the song because different songs do it each time. Ive tried to restore it and it makes no difference :(
    Please help as this problem gets very annoying. Thanks!

    Did you restore to factory defaults/new iPod and sync stuff to your iPod?  If you restore from backup there may be some corruption that is now in the backup.

  • HT204053 I let my friend put his ipod on my itunes. I got a new iphone 5 and when i try to update apps,i put in my current apple id and then it asks for his apple id password, which i dont know and i want to get rid of his.

    When i try to update my apps, it asks me to put in my password for apple id. I put in my password but then it asks for my friends password for his itunes, because i let him sync his ipod on my itunes. How do i remove his account off my itunes where i dont have to put in his password.

    Also when I apply the safety copy it only imports the app the phones have had in common, so none of the apps that only the iPhone 4 had doesn't come in, only the ones I and the iPhone 4 has had in common. So you say the only way I can use the Apple ID to download on the old iPhone 4 is if I delete the apps that are in the phone and then download them again? How will that change the ID to download/update from. Won't it still have mine to update/download from?

  • How do I prevent my iPod from powering on when I have the Hold switch on?

    After I power off my iPod I turn on the Hold switch to prevent it from powering on and using up my battery life, but for some strange reason when I pull it out of my purse to use it again I often find a song playing. To make things even stranger every time this happens it is always a song from the same playlist. I really just want this to STOP b/c it drains my battery. Thanks to anyone that can help me.

    Make sure you don't have an alarm set.
    Cheers!
