How do I set up a used 3gs?

I bought an iphone 3GS and would like to replace my android phone with it. The phone is only letting me open the keypad for emergency calls. How do I get to a screen that will let me get started? None of the buttons or touch screen seem to do anything other than the touch screen slide to open the keypad and the home button turns on the screen, I am on thge AT&t net work with another carrier. Neither sim does any good. I am sure that you already know, I know nothing about apple. Thank you for any info.

Hi dozerseeker,
If you have a newly purchased previously owned iPhone, you may want to restore it to its factory condition. You may find the following article helpful:

    How do I set up and use the TV tuner for an ENVY 23 TouchSmart?

    Hello LindaLamb:
    First thing is connect your coex TV Anti cable to your computer the end connector looks like a bolt. Then open up Windows Media Center go down the list to live tv and follow and fill in your information with wizard . If your computer doesn't have an built in TV Tunner then you will need to purchase an USB TV tunner. http://www.bing.com/shopping/search?q=usb+tv+tunne​r&qpvt=usb+tv+tunner&FORM=HURE . frrw

  • How I can set Leopard to use the color management mixture that Tiger uses?

    I have recently bought a new Mac with Leopard installed. My old Mac is running Tiger. Unfortunately the color management default settings in Leopard are different than in Tiger, so this is completely messing up my calibration. Can somebody please tell me how I can set Leopard to use whatever color management mixture that Tiger uses? - Thanks.

    I already have set FF to No Proxy. This made FF work again, but not any of my other internet programs, programs that don't have the option to set to no proxy, they rely on the system settings. So I need to know how to reset my system settings back to their default values. This will allow all my net progs to access the net again, including FF using the Use System Settings option. Since FF has an option to use system settings, this is a somewhat FF related question. I need to get all my net programs working again, not just FF! And, if my system settings are restored, FF will work using the system settings, and all my other progs will work too.

    I lost my apple tv remote.  How can I set up the use of my iphone remote app without it?

    The remote app would require home sharing to be enabled and both to be on the same network. If that's not the case then you will need a new remote

  • How can I set which projects use Proxy Media and not just change every project?

    Hi there
    I can see how to change ALL projects to use Proxy Media or Original/Optimised Media
    in
    Preferences>Playback
    But I'm switching between projects a lot and I only want to use Proxy Media on one project, so how can I tell FCPX to only use Proxy Media on that ONE project?
    Thanks

    Perhaps if apple didn't take back prores LT this wouldn't be as much of an issue.
    Pores LT was a great compromise between file size and quality. It produced a fine image for most peoples needs and was 30% smaller.
    Hopefully it will be returned soon. I can't imagine why it's not already there. Unless they want to charge for it, ... again..
    Have you tried capturing as full res, then change prefs back to proxy, open a new project and import the full res files?
    In FCP7 the render pref was separate from the capture pref. is that gone too?
    If my idea doesn't work, Surely someone will chime in with a creative work around to this.
    And hopefully it'll get fixed soon in an update.
    Best,

  • How to bypass setting up an iPhone 3GS without an active SIM card

    How do I make my iPhone 3GS functional again?
    I have an iPhone 3GS which I used to use as my cell phone, though I recently upgraded to a new phone.  However, I still use this old iPhone for its capabilities as an iPod.  The problem is, I tried to update it from iOS 6.1 to 6.1.3 and after I had to go through restoring it to factory default settings, it would not allow me to set it up as there was an issue with the SIM card and its pin.  Is there any way for me to make it start working again?

    iPhones require a SIM card for activation.  There is no bypass.

  • How do I set up and use IIS 7.5 in Windows 7

    I just bought a new machine and installed Windows 7 RC Ultimate and CS4 on it.
    I set up IIS (or at least I think I did) and Inetpub now shows in the directory listing, so it should be there.
    Only problem is that I cannot save any files to any site in the Inetpub directory even when logged in as administrator.
    I have to manage lots of web sites that use asp, and so need to have the Inetpub facility.
    Setting up IIS in Windows 7 is poorly documented, and seems quite complex.
    The instructions on Microsoft's technet site for accessing IIS do not work, and so I am at a loss.
    Am I to assume that the normal Dreamweaver method of storing files in inetpub/wwwroot/sitefolder is no longer valid?
    Whether or not, can anyone tell me how to set up a site in windows 7 that will run an asp site using IIS?

    http://forums.iis.net/t/1147354.aspx has the answer to providing acess to folders that are not usually accesible in Windows 7.
    Run the following command from an elevated command prompt (right click the "command prompt" icon and select "Run as Administrator").
    icacls %systemdrive%\inetpub /grant  %userdomain%\%username%:(OI)(CI)(F) /grant %userdomain%\%username%:F
    This command will add full access for your user account to the INETPUB directory.
    Now the Administrator privileges which you don't have don't matter anymore because your account and not Administrators grant you access.
    How obscure can you get?
    I assume that changing the folder name from inetpub to whatever other folder you need to access will have the same effect.
    All I have to sort out now is how to get the F12 key on my wireless keyboard to run a file when pressed in Dreamweaver - but that is another problem.

  • How should I set GPG to use with KMail or even rather Thunderbird?

    In the last 3 hours I tried to set Thunderbird (Enigmail) and KMail to use my GPG key. I failed.
    I made the keypairs with Kgpg, installed enigmail, restarted the Thunderbird, set everything, but TB didn't asked for password, only gave an error message that it can't use gpg in batch mode and the password is wrong:
    gpg parancssor és kimenet:
    /usr/bin/gpg
    gpg: Probléma van az ügynökkel. Letiltom a használatát.
    gpg: can't query passphrase in batch mode
    gpg: Érvénytelen jelszó. Próbálja újra...
    gpg: can't query passphrase in batch mode
    gpg: Érvénytelen jelszó. Próbálja újra...
    gpg: can't query passphrase in batch mode
    gpg: skipped "<my e-mail>": rossz jelszó
    gpg: [stdin]: sign+encrypt failed: rossz jelszó - its in Hungarian, it says: Problem with the agent. Disabling use. Wrong password. Try again.
    I read a lot and all I found is that I have to disable the use of gpg-agent in Enigmail's settings, but it was alredy disabled, despite I got this message:
    "Your system uses gpg-agent or a similar tool for passphrase handling (gpg-agent is mandatory if GnuPG v2.0 or later is used). Since caching of passphrases is handled by gpg-agent, the respective timeout settings in OpenPGP are disregarded. In order to change passphrase caching options, please configure your gpg-agent tool."
    After many pages I gave up, it seems it cannot be solved.
    So I tried KMail. But KMail didn't ask password, too. Google, searching. I found that I should install pinentry-qt. Well, pinentry is already installed and I have pinentry, pinentry-qt and pinentry-qt4, too. So I searched for another solution. Then I found that I should use gpg-agent (I used it already according to Thunderbird) and I have to write use-agent to .gnupg/gpg.conf. It was already there. Then I found that I have to make a file, .gnupg/gpg-agent.conf whit this content:
    pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-qt4
    no-grab
    default-cache-ttl 1800
    So I made it. After this I add the eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon)" to my .xinitrc, as it was written in many posts. I logged out and in. Still no luck.
    The gpg-agent in terminal says:
    gpg-agent: gpg-agent running and available
    I tried a test I found on forums: echo "test" | gpg -ase -r 0xDEADBEEF | gpg. It says:
    1024-bit RSA key, ID CFF2728D, created 2011-05-17 (main key ID CD35B00C)
    gpg: problem with the agent -disabling agent use.
    Then it asks the passphrase. I type it in, but then a message appears that I didn't have any public key.
    I tried to disable gpg-agent, but didn't helped. Thunderbird said:
    "can't connect to `/tmp/gpg-y2XPqU/S.gpg-agent': Kapcsolat elutasítva
    gpg: Nem tudok kapcsolódni "/tmp/gpg-y2XPqU/S.gpg-agent" objektumhoz: connect failed" - connection refused. Can't connect to /tmp... object.
    KMail simply says bad passphrase.
    So. How can I use GPG? What should I do, how should I start? Is it possible at all? I just wanted to sign and encrypt e-mails. It seemed very easy.
    ps.: all the installed softwares are up to dated. And sorry about the mistakes in my English, if any!

  • HT4623 I just got my new iPhone 4 and wish to use my hands-free in my 2006 Prius.  How do I set this up using the phone

    Well I just got a new iPhone 4 and wish to use my Toyota Prius Hands-Free capabilities with the new phone in my 2006 Prius.
    I tried setting up in the car but it says to enter pass key on the phone; which I can't figure out how to do as it gives me a key pad but
    the only button is the "Call" button???

    You must unlock your phone by entering its passcode (if any), then go to Settings/Bluetooth. In the car you must enable Pairing mode (check the manual for the car). When the two see each other you may have to enter a pairing passcode, but this should be displayed in the car. For most hands-free pairing the passcode will be "0000", but you should check the car's manual.

  • How do I set the account used for ical reminders?

    Hello folks,
    On my wife's computer we have OS X Lion.
    She has two email accounts loaded on Mail, using IMAP. These are Gmail accounts. I will refer to them as account #1 and #2
    In iCal she has calendars loaded from Gmail account #1.
    We have noticed that all her iCal event reminders are being sen to account #1 using account #2 for the sending. Even though the event is on a Gmail Calendar on account #1.
    She has no calendars loaded from account #2 (as she does not use calendars on that Gmail account).
    Neither of us can figure out why or who iCal is sending out reminders via her second gmail account, for appointments set in the calendar of her #1 email account. We can not see why logically iCal and/or Mail is linking these accounts in this way.
    We'd like to have it so that the reminders are only sent using account #1.
    Can anyone tell me how or why this is occurring, and what I can do about it?
    Thank you so much,
    Jonathan

  • How do i set up to use the spacebar to navigate within an image while using another tool

    when using a tool (such as eraser, clone etc.) i used to be able to navigate within an image by using the spacebar. for some reason, this option is not working any longer and i'd like to know how to set it up again.

    You don't need the background image -- you supply THAT in FCPX. Just work the text effect and publish it.

  • How to globally set WiFi to use device management identity certificate for all users?

    I'm using Apple's Profile Management service in Mountain Lion, and discovered through serendipity that an enrolled device can authenticate on EAP-TLS to our WPA2-Enterprise Wifi using the Device Managment Identity Certificate instead of an individually-generated-for-user x509 cert. This is extremely convenient, because then we can effectively revoke a device's cert by unenrolling the device.
    However, I haven't been able to figure out how to make WiFi always designate EAP-TLS and select the Device Management Identity Certificate globally (whether through /usr/bin/networksetup or through the Profile Manager).
    Does anybody have any pointers on how to do this? My goal is to have an OS X >= 10.7 machine at a network login prompt capable of logging into the machine, authenticated against the Open Directory server the machine is already bound to. At present a wireless user cannot do this, as the machine's Wifi preferences haven't yet been set to use the aforementioned device management cert.
    Thanks!

    Making customisation from the default profile is generally considered poor practice and quite often doesn't work out as planned. (If you're interested in some more information on this, [http://mockbox.net/windows-7/227-customise-windows-7-default-profile.html see here] see here)

  • How can I set OWA to use Public by default and hide that section from OWA?

    I have an Exchange 2013 deployment that needs a customized OWA page.  I've already run Set-OwaVirtualDirectory "ex1\owa*" -LogonPagePublicPrivateSelectionEnabled $True to show the Public option.  I've also edited the logon.aspx

  • How do i set up a used iPad with iTunes account

    Hi, my friend has recently bought a second hand iPad and has been having problems using it with her iTunes account. She has the latest version installed on her laptop but when the iPad is connected, a window opens to say it cannot be used because it requires iTunes 10.1 or later.
    Is it possible to use a second hand device with an existing iTunes account and how do you get the latest version of iTunes on the iPad?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Sorry that I mentioned 'daughter' rather than 'friend'.
    Has she access to another computer with iTunes. If so, attach it to that briefly to see if she gets the same message. If she does not then the problem is iTunes on her own laptop. This can be resolved in two ways. If the iTunes update was recent then do a system restore on the laptop and then update iTunes again. (Be careful that such a restore has not ramifications as regards to new programmes installed in the interim.) Now try connecting again. The second option, as quoted earlier by Demo, is to forget about the system restore (on the laptop) and reinstall iTunes. The following should help - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925

  • How do i set up a used phone in my itunes

    I'm having trouble getting the "backed up" information from an iphone 3G and putting it on a iphone4.  Now, itunes will not let me "set up as a new phone" so I can be prompted to use the "3G info".  I have 3 iphones on my Mac. And My Mother in Law took my Nieces phone that was never set up on my laptop..  Understand.

    What do I need to do to make this possible? Telstra are telling me its impossible with a MAC. Someone else told me I need an Airport Base (My iMac does not have an Airport card installed) Ultimately I would like to have a wireless modem connected to an ADSL line or Cable (Foxtel Line) and able to operate all 3 computers in the house.
    Your G5 does not require an AirPort Base Station to get Internet access, so any brand wireless router should work just fine.
    An example, would be the Linksys WRT54G. In this example, your network configuration would be something like the following:
    Foxtel Line > Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > [Internet port] WRT54G [LAN] > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] G5, AND
    WRT54G > (wireless) > wireless PC laptops
