How many times can i use the limited warranty on my Apple iPhone 5, I just broke mine after getting a brand new one. Also, can I extend my warranty?

How many times can i use the limited warranty on my Apple iPhone 5, I just broke mine after getting a brand new one. Also, can I extend my warranty?

If you purchased AppleCare + within 30 days of getting your iPhone 5 you are allowed 2 instances of breakage replacement with a $49 deductible. If you do not have AppleCare + accidental breakage is not covered under you warranty, you can do an out-of-warranty replacement for $229.

How many times can you enter the wrong pin code on an iphone before it resets?

How many times can you enter the wrong pin code on an iphone before it resets itself?

Hey Robin.T,
Thanks for the question. The following article provides the answer to your question:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you enter the wrong passcode six or more times, you'll see a message that says one of the following:
iPhone is disabled
iPad is disabled
iPod touch is disabled
You can also set your passcode lock to wipe the device after 10 unsuccessful attempts (Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Erase Data)
Thanks,
Matt M.

How many times can I run PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrad .... command

I'm getting VSS error in my eventlog -> application. I was getting 8213 and followed http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc734219(v=ws.10).aspx and
now I'm gettting 8230.
Meanwhile my backups not are running. I remember running PSConfig command when I first installed windows and sharepoint 2010 on this box for system backup to work correctly.
Now I run WMIC QFE LIST FULL /Format:HTable > C:\Temp\HotfixList.html to retrieve all the installed update to check if KBs
2460045 or 2687453 are installed unnoticed but I don't have any history of installed updates suprising eh!
Now I want to run
PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent
-install -cmd installfeatures
just incase one of them have been installed unnotice.
How many times can I run this PSConfig command? How dangerous is this decision?

You can run it as many times as you want, but it will take SharePoint down on that particular server (resets IIS, for example), while it executes.

There is no requirement to charge for any predetermined amount of time. You can charge at any time, for any amount of time.

How many times can you attempt the restrictions passcode?

I've forgotten the restrictions passcode I set on my iPod. Since I don't want to perform a complete systems reset just yet, I want to try to attempt remembering my passcode... how many times can I try the restrictions passcode without permanently locking it?

This is for the restrictions passcode correct? Not the regular passcode....
And I heard somewhere that if you guess too many times, you will be permanently locked out of your device...

What dowes the screen say? If it just say disable and gives not time to retry then you have to restore the iPod
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

How many times can I enter the wrong password restriction?

I set restrictions on my iphone to disable some apps and save battery. Unfortunately i set it a year ago and I've used it forgotten the password and now I cannot remember it.
I tried to type the password but i did twice failed passcode, i wonder how many time i can enter the failed passcodes before my iphone will be locked forever.
Please help me
THANK YOU!

7,635,982,358.
If you've forgotten the password, the number of times that the device will accept an invalid password is irrelevant.
Do as the manual says, restore the device using the computer it normally syncs with and restore as new. Restoring from backup will not remove the restrictions passcode.

HT204370 How many times can I watch the movie I just downloaded?

How many times can I watch the movie I just downloaded?

You can watch it as many times as you like, there is no limit. If you take a backup of it (even if you are in a country where films can be re-downloaded for free, there is no guarantee that they will remain in the store for future re-downloading) then you will be able to continue watching it for years to come.
Film rentals are different, in that when you start watching it you have 24 hours if you are in the US, 48 hours elsewhere, before it expires - but during that time you can watch it as many times as you like.

How many times should the computer cycle on-off when doing a factory reset?

I have a Toshiba A665-S6065 which can not boot. Yesterday I tried the Auto Recovery by holding the 0
while booting, and following the default instructions. It seemed to complete without errors. But the computer
will still not boot. Today, when reading the instructions, it said to expect the computer to cycle on and off severa
times. So how many times? will there be any propmts or messages? How long should the entire process take?
How long should the computer be off before it turns on again each time? I think I might be screwing things up
by intervening and trying to start the computer myself because it isn't clear to me what should actually be happening.
Could someone please tell me what to expect before I start looking at possible hardwre problems?
BTW, I can access the Setup and Boot Menu.
Thanks,
kjdroid
NEW info:
Now when I boot while holding the 0 key, instead of going directly to the Recovery Wizard, it goes to the
Windows Boot Manager.
from there the options are Windows Setup [EMS enabled]
and Windows Memory Diagnostic, as well as the F8 option for advanced options.
If I select Windows Memory Diagnostic I get
File: \boot\memtest.exe
Status : 0xC000000f
Info : The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt.
If I select Windows Setup or F8 followed by normal windows startup or startup in safe mode then
I get the following sequence of events.
Starting Windows with the Windows logo.
then the blue screen
Then to the Toshiba Recovery Wizard, where it partitions, and does the CRC and then prompts to press
finish to restart the computer.
Either the computer does not shut down, or it stops and starts very quickly because all the lights cycle
on and off but it does not appear that the start/stop light actually ever turns off.
Then I get the Starting Windows with Logo again.
Then the Recovery Wizard comes back but only with the screen about partitioning. It does not
do the recovery and CRC this time.
Nextis the Toshiba Logo reappears again with the options for F2 or F12 for the Setup and Boot Menus.
Finally, I get a blue screen and it appears nothing else is happening. I let it sit for 30 minutes before I retry, because I am not sure what is supposed to be happening now.
Also, one of my attempts, I got as far as the messages:
Setting up the Registry
Starting Services
Applying System Settings
Will continue after restarting your computer
Is preparing your computer for first use.
But then again, it just goes into the blue screen state until I finally decide to shut things down.
Am I being premature or should I let the blue screen sit there for a few hours while work is being
done in the background? I don't hear any sounds from the computer that would indicate any type of activity.
Thanks again

Actually, it's kind of hard to tell you what to replace. If you have a spare hard drive laying around, go for it. It also could be memory issues (I have the same model as you) & it was my sister-in-law's notebook before I get it. The notebook had several memory dumps that CCleaner found & deleted when I was working on it.
I told her that I would re-install it for her to make sure there no viruses or such. After backing up the computer, I proceeded to what was supposed to work, pressing "0" at startup to no avail, then booted into the area where the system restore, command line repairs & such were, & there was the option for a factory reset, the last option. I chose that one, & like you stated, it rebooted numerous times, until finally it was through. Longest factory re-install I've ever done.
What led me to believe there were memory issues was during the first round of updates, it BSOD'd, another memory dump was found by my portable CCleaner. It still had the original Samsung PC3-8500 memory, so I took the memory that shipped with my MSI (PC3-10600) & installed that, then not only was all fine, it was noticably faster. Once I got it fully updated & scanned with MBAM & the ESET Online Scanner (I always do this when installing or re-installing a computer), I removed my memory & placed hers back in, then returned it to her.
I ended up with it about 10 days later, she said it was still dumping. Needing a spare notebook, I offered $100 for it, ending up paying $150, but still came out way better than on eBay.
Once I got it, I placed the 6GB RAM back in there that I had, & also replaced the HDD with a extra Crucial M4 that was laying around. Right before swapping drives, I ran HD Tune (free) on the original, there were yellow attributes, meaning that it had issues pending. It's a 500GB Seagate HDD that runs at 7200 RPM. Just so happened, I lost a 500GB Seagate Barracuda desktop HDD (7200.11) less than a month ago. Booted the computer, the screen stated "No Operating System found".
So it could be either the HDD or memory (RAM). Or worse yet, the MB itself. Has it been dropped? Notebooks are fairly durable, but they don't take to being dropped very well. Does it run hot? If so, there may be severe dust buildup that's causing it to overheat, that will make it BSOD. My guess is that's it's one of the first three that I mentioned above & if it's the MB, forget it. Prices are too high, even for used ones & in a notebook, it's basically a total teardown to replace it. If it's a new MB, it may cost between $200 to $400, depending on popularity of the model. That's too much to pay to repair a computer built in 2010.
I'm trying to give some suggestions here, based totally on personal experience on my & other's computers that I work on. However, online it's a cat & mouse game. I don't want to tell you to purchase another HDD unless it's almost 100% certain that's the issue. Which is why I asked if you have a spare earlier. Also, try reversing the position of your memory sticks (a 5 minute job), it's behind that lid close to the battery underneath the notebook.
Post back if you need further assistance. Someone else may have other ideas, so follow the thread.
Best of Luck,
Cat

How Many Times Can I Use The Same Serial Number For Adobe Creative Suite 4?

I have design standard and was told I can use the same serial number on multiple computers. How many time can I use it? And say I install it on the maximum number of computers, but get a new computer, can I uninstall it on one of the old computers and use it on the new one? And can I use the programs on both computers simultaneously or do I have to use them one at a time?

Fred Tech wrote:
Broadly speaking, it depends on the type of license you have.
Specifically, if you have a single license then officially, you should only install it once on one computer.
Practically, (unless it has changed with CS4) you maybe able to install it on more then one computer, BUT can only run one instance of the software at a time. You can not run more then one instance of the software concurrently; i.e. you can't run Dreamweaver on Computer 1 and Photoshop on Computer 2. That would be two instances, and is not permitted.
This is my understanding. I am happy to be corrected if I am wrong
Fred
Sorry Fred you are wrong.
If you have a single license you can install it on as many computers as you like. you can only activate the suite on two computers at anyone time. Work and Home or as many of us do it Desktop and Laptop. You can not use the computers simultaneously. You only have 20 activation/deactivations so use them wisely. Student versions only have one activation. You can not break up the suite installs the suite is considered one application.

How many times can i call the start()

Hi All:
I would like to know how many time you can actually call the start(),
cuz my app is doing some really strange things,
here is a fragament of my code:
private void spawnThreads()
ListIterator it = _vWorker.listIterator();
while ( it.hasNext() ) {
ClientWorker client_worker = (ClientWorker) it.next();
client_worker.start();
ClientWorker is another Thread, and in the run() of the ClientWorker, I have
public void run() {
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
     try {
     // Start the timer
     Process child = rt.exec(_fileName);
     // gobble any error or output streams
StreamGobbler errorGobbler = new
StreamGobbler(child.getErrorStream(), "ERROR");
StreamGobbler outputGobbler = new
StreamGobbler(child.getInputStream(), "OUTPUT");
errorGobbler.start();
outputGobbler.start();
child.waitFor();
                                        } catch (IOException e) {
               System.err.println("IOException starting process!");
          } catch (InterruptedException e) {
               System.err.println("Interrupted waiting for process!");
I have a couple of cmd files to execute, so This spawnThreads() will be called a couple of times,and the funny thing is , it will execute the first cmd files, and that is it, it won't execute the 2nd or the 3rd cmd files, it will start the thread, but then the run()won't actually gets invoked,,,so I am just wondering if anyone of you has encountered this problem, perhaps you could lend me some insight on this?
thanks,

Yes, you can run the start() of a Thread more than once,
here is my Test App,
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Vector vec = new Vector();
for (int i=0;i<4;i++){
ClientThread ct = new ClientThread();
vec.add(ct);
ListIterator it = vec.listIterator();
while(it.hasNext()){
ClientThread ct = (ClientThread)it.next();
ct.start();
and as you have already guessed it the run() of ClientThread simply does system.out.println()
and here is the output
run started
run started
run started
run started
so..yeah..I don't really have any idea what is happening to my app and why it is not executing any cmd files after executing the very first cmd file

Movie rental Q: How many times can you watch the film within 48 hours?

It's just I have 8 hours left on Into The Wild and I fancied watching it a second time, only it is not playing when I click on the thumbnail. It just says "accessing the iTunes store" for a few seconds. I've tried clicking play. Other films appear to work ok, just not this one. I assume that if it doesn't let me watch it a second time iTunes will give me free movie rental credit.

According to the FAQ "Once you've started to watch the movie, you have 24 hours to finish watching the movie (even if you start watching before the download is complete). You can watch the movie as many times as you want within this 24-hour period": iTunes Store movie rental usage
If you are having problems you should contact iTunes Store Customer Services.
