How to restore with no way of getting internet access

I have an old 4s. I want to delete all content and restore as new. when i try to do that on the phone it asks me to enter my icloud password. I do that but it does to recognize it because i dont have any internet access. I cant turn wifi on because the button is grayed out.
I deleted the phone from find iphone but that didnt work. It still appears on my iphone and itunes still shows it as on.
I cant delete icloud account from that phone for the same reason.

What happens when trying to restore the iPhone with iTunes on your computer? You are promoted to turn the iCloud account off on the iPhone with the iPhone only - no prompt for the password on your computer with iTunes when trying to restore the iPhone?

  • When doing a restore with Time Capsule, I get -8003 error; restoring nothing

    Hi,
    When doing a full restore with Time Capsule, I get -8003 error; restoring nothing. This happens with all recent backups. Also after doing a verify/repair of the TimeCapsule disk.
    This is a dissaster for my originals (my Ableton Live projects). I am very dissapointed in TC and TM at this moment, because I trusted my backup system in combination with my MBP fully.
    Please help?
    Best regards, Tom

    Hi Pondini,
    Sorry for the late response, but the problem was something else and were two separate ones.
    Somewhere along the way the TC backup couldn't find backup to the original TC volume, that's why I let TM backup towards my user volume named 'Tom'.
    When I wanted to restore the root of my drive when selecting the diskname and 'Restore' in any point in time, this resulted in error -8003 in the activated TimeMachine.
    Then I tried to do it via the recovery OS and even via the original OSX DVD. Both not enabling me to select the TC volume named 'Tom'. Then I remembered that I first backed-up onto the original 'TimeCapsule' volume/partition. When I copied the sparsefile to the 'TimeCapsule' partition, I was able to recover the entire disk using the recovery OS.
    All my files are backup and I am a happy Mac user once again :-)
    Thanks & Regards, Tom

  • I recently added my old mac hard drive to a new macbook with an SSD as my main OSX drive.  I am having trouble with permissions in viewing my old hard drive.  What is the best way to get complete access to my old hd installed in my new Macbook?

    I recently added my old mac hard drive to a new macbook with an SSD as my main OSX drive. I am having trouble with permissions in viewing my old hard drive, when I save a permission when I reboot the full access is changed again .  What is the best way to get complete access to my old hd installed in my new Macbook?

    Open the Get Info window for the old drive. Click the Lock icon on the bottom of that window and type in your password. In the permissions area click the Plus sign ( + ) and Add your Username to it and set it to Read & Write. Close that window. you should now have full access to all the files.

  • PS 6 W7 64 - Bridge when I batch rename both monitors turn into film strip with no way to get back. please help me

    Is there something I am missing about settings with a second monitor? When I batch rename in bridge both monitors (or if I shut one, the remaining one) go into uge vertical images that stream horizontally, with no way to get back to grid or normal view even though essentials is active.

    Try a reset (click on that down pointing arrow) and also  if you have a Mac, toggle the green resize button. It usually forces Bridge to resize to the screen.
    If worse comes to worse, reset Bridge's Preferences as explained here: Troubleshoot errors, freezes | Adobe Bridge | Windows, Mac OS
    When I use a external larger monitor, I select just that monitor.

  • Best way to get internet between two buildings???

    Hello all! I have some questions about a possible setup I am thinking of running.
    I have building that has internet coming into it. 15yds away, I have another building (which is brick) that has no internet options. I was thinking about buying two Airport Extreme's, making one the base and using the other one in the other building the access point for WDS. Then buy a couple of the Airport Expresses to push the signal throughout that building.
    Thoughts on this? Is there a better way to get internet between two buildings (without running cables) and then push it through out that building?
    I am open to any an all suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Grant

    Welcome to the discussions!
    Ethernet is always the best choice for signal strength and reliability. If you do not want to run ethernet cable to the second building, your options are down to ethernet powerline adapters and wireless.
    The ethernet powerline adapters work by transmitting the ethernet signal over the AC power line. The difficulty here may be that the other building is on a different electrical circuit, so it may or may not work depending on how the electrical wiring is configured. An electrician could run tests to see if this would work.
    The least reliable option is wireless. To have the best chance of working well, the "sending" and "receiving" routers need to be able to "see" each other through a window or other opening. Be sure to test with a laptop in the second location to see if you will have a strong enough signal to work with before you go this route.

  • I HAVE AN IPAD 2 WITH WIFI ONLY, CAN I GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM ANY SMARTPHONE, OR DO I NEED A SPECIFIC PHONE FOR THIS?

    i ave an ipad 2 with wifi only, can i get internet access from any cell phone, or do i need a specific phone or type of phone

    I received an iPad 2 for Christmas (the 1st Apple item I've ever owned!) and own a Nokia N95 8GB mobile (that's pretty much on its last legs/ready to die any day).
    On the Nokia I've got 2 apps (downloaded from/via Nokia's 'Ovi' app store): JoikuSpot & HandyWi. Both are the free versions.
    I've not used HandyWi much - if at all - but JoikuSpot has been great. Basically, it creates a wifi hotspot (as pjl123 mentioned) in a couple of straightforward steps, and allows a few devices to be connected. It displays who/what is connected at a given time - so you can check if the guy having coffee behind you is piggybacking your hotspot or not! - data packets sent received etc.
    The paid version has the benefit of allowing you to secure the hotspot and other security features.  Their website is www.joiku.com, FYI.
    Given how slow behind the 8 ball Nokia has been, their phones are getting cheaper and cheaper - given Joiku's meant to work with Nokia S60, Symbian ^3, Maemo, Meego & Sony Ericsson S60, this might be a cost effective option.
    Ps. Ah! One more thing - Joiku's website specifies that 3G must be used; that WAP will not work. Good luck, enjoy!

    Hi,
    Simply put(copy) the content of the UVIsoundbaks folder to where you want it. Then delete the original content. Make aliases of the content at its' new location, and move (copy) all those aliases back into the originating folders. Then delete the original aliases. That should do it.
    I'm confused about this.
    First, I put the content where I want. Got it.
    Then delete it?
    I don't have the room to put it where the application tells me to put it (not enough room on the HD), so I need to put the sample content on a external hard drive.
    Please advise.
    Thanks

  • Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. Please help!

    Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

    It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
    Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
    I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
    The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
    If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
    If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
    There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
    But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
    In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."

  • TS1398 my wifi is showing connected but i am not getting internet access.  When  in the settings wifi settings  you can see the wheel or timer spinning but never a check mark like my other iPad.

    my wifi is showing connected but i am not getting internet access.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Is there a way to have internet access for my laptop through Verizon?  I have a smartphone, but I don't want to rack up too much data.

    Is there a way to have internet access for my laptop through Verizon?  I have a smartphone, but I don't want to rack up too much data.  How would the laptop connect to the  4G? network?  Thanks for any info:)

    Rcshnoor nailed it, everything will depend on how they manage their data connection once the laptop is connected.  It is perfectly feasible that they will have no issues with this new connection.  However, there is nothing stopping the user from going above and beyond the data usage cap currently sufficient for the phone by itself.  We cannot presume that any estimations on new usage will be accurate either.
    Users should always be aware of the reality that revolves around data usage and the devices that consume them.  Its no different than installing a 2nd waterline/hose on your house.  Sure the hose will be fine if you remember to turn it off when you are done, but no one is going to stop you from letting it run all night if you forget.
