HT1212 I have a used Iphone 4S with a passcode that was forgotten and the original computer is no longer in service, what can I do.

I have a used Iphone 4S that I am trying to unlock but don't have the original computer and don't know the password, how can I get by this?

The only thing to do is to follow the information on the support document that you linked from that talks about not syncing with a computer. Read further down. You will have to restore the phone as new. Also, make sure you have the Apple ID and password for the original owner that activated the phone, unless they have already deactivated Find My iPhone.

Little hard to understand what you are asking. Let me guess that this not an Iphone4S issue. Its a problem with your service provider. Contact them.

After reviewing several more suggestions, I found a YouTube video that described the issue and resolved it by cleaning the dock connector. I was skeptical, but I had noticed that immediatly after charging or using my dock that the audio would be back temporarily. After cleaning the dock port, the issue appeared to be resolved temporarily, but appears to have returned again. I will clean it well and then test again to see if it resolves the issue permanantly. So far this seems to have provided the best result.

TS3274 I have an iPad 2 that was dropped and the glass broke.

I have an iPad 2 that was dropped and the glass broke around Christmas break. I took it to a local computer repair company and they changed the glass. However, ever since that time I have had some problems with the wifi. I do not have the range I once had? For example I can walk out of the room that my verizon jetpack is in and loose connection. I have also had issues with my Keynote presentations loosing connectivity to Apple TV through the blue tooth. Q What are my options beside getting a new iPad?

Some iPad users have been able to revive their dropped iPad. Turn the iPad over and give it a HARD SLAP on the back. May take several slaps.

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 drooping 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

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

I just bought a new iPhone 5 today and the Ambient light sensor is not working. What can i do?

I just bought a new iPhone 5 today and the Ambient light sensor is not working. What can i do?

Ambient light sensors are not always perfect in their function. To test, go into darkened room, with screen OFF, Locked, tap Home button. Look at screen it should be normal for use in darkened room, turn on bright lights, the screen should brighten to help compensate. If your iPhone does not do this, then Restore iPhone with current iTunes on your computer. See if better. If still problem, make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

I lost my disk for cs5 creative suite 5.5 design premium but I have product code and a new computer I want to reinstall. What can I do?

I lost my disk for cs5 creative suite 5.5 design premium but I have product code and a new computer I want to reinstall. What can I do?

You can download the software from the website and then type in your old serial number to activate it... that is, IF the installer database will work with your operating system. I am having problems reinstalling CS4 with a new computer running on Win 8.1. When I called customer support, they told me a whole lot of nothing for 45 minutes and then directed me to a chat session. After about 30 minutes on chat, I was basically told they don't offer support for older products. The website says "no known issues" for installation... but that very well may be because they are unwilling to record the issues when someone calls to report them! Good luck with your install. I wish I had CS5 at this point, as it appears there is still support available for it... but you are on the bubble timewise for that to continue. Other downloads

HT1420 Can you have more than one device with a different Apple ID authourized to the same computer

Can you have more than one device with a different Apple ID authourized to the same computer

I think you are using the same Composition Class on both project. On the properties tab, you can change this number (e.g.: EDGE-1637270).

When "Save Link As..." is used, file permissions are changed so that other users of the same computer have full access.

I have a laptop running Windows Vista Ultimate, and I'm not sure what's been changed in my Firefox, but now, every time I use "Save Link As...", the user permissions for the file have been set to include "USERS" which is then indicated by an icon in the bottom left corner of the file thumbnail. The icon is of the two people you see under "User Accounts and Family Safety" in the Control Panel.
I do remember a dialogue box coming up saying something about "This file originates from another computer and may be harmful..." or something along those lines when this problem first occurred.
I thought that problem would only occur for files from one website, but now, whenever I try using "Save Link As...", the user permissions for that file are incorrect.
If I open the link and download the file manually, it's perfectly fine.

It seems that the difference between the sites that will open and the one that won't is the Default Authentication provider is set to NTLM on those that open, and Negotiate (Kerberos) on the one that won't. The Authentication Provider for the Default zone
is Claims Based Authentication on all the sites, just site B (which won't open) is set to Negotiate (Kerberos), the others are set to NTLM.
Short term: can I change the provider to NTLM without destroying the site?
Long term: point me in the direction for setting up Kerberos correctly on my server/farm, as from what I can tell Kerberos is the recommended path forward. I'll setup a non-production test site and get it figured out.
Thanks much.

I have a new Iphone 4S with my new Apple ID, Itunes and Icloud are both linked to that Apple ID. However, when I try to upload Icloud from my new phone, it pulls my old Apple ID, an old email I no longer use. I don't see a way to change it. Help?

I have a new Iphone 4S. It is linked to my new Apple ID, as is my Itunes, Itunes Match and Icloud. HOWEVER, when I try to upload Icloud on my actual phone, it pulls my very old Apple ID....an email that is no longer in use. I don't see a way to edit or change it to the correct Apple ID...is there a way to do that?

If the apple id being used by iCloud isn't the one you want, go to settings > icloud > delete account. It doesn't actually delete the account, but it removes it from your device so you can put in the right apple id

Can I use iphone earbuds with a mac pro tower? And with an extension cord?

I also need to use an extension cable because of my standing desk (tower is on the floor). I get confused with the 2-band jack, the 3-band jack, etc. I haven't been successful using a regular, radio shack type of headphone extension cord. Salesmen give me a blank stare when I try to explain that I have iphone earbuds with a 3-band jack and that it doesn't work with a regular extension cord. It's like I'm speaking Swahili.

You can't using 4-band iPhone earphone with Mac Pro.
You need to get 3-band earphone and extension cable.
I've been using iPod shuffle's earphone with extension cable osn it works well.

I have a PowerShot SX10 IS with no software. I found lots of versions of digital camera solution cd's on ebay. Do I HAVE to use the original version that came with the camera or can I use a different version? The main program I want to use is Photo Stitch. Thanks ~Jes

You can use any version, but there is a workaround that you don't need to original CD to install Photostich software which is free on Canon site.

Hi i ve found an iPhone 4s in mauritius Island .i live un France and the original carrier is africa flex orange. How CAN i activated the phone? I tried with an orange french sim but it doesn t work. Tks for helping me

Hi i ve found an iPhone 4s during hollydays
In mauritius Island . The original carrier is
Africa flex orange mauritius . How CAN i
Activated it?
As i live in France i tried wz an orange s'il
But it doesn t work
Tks for your help

Well, no it probably won't work because the phone is locked so there is nothing you can do.
You won't be able to activate it, so you might never be able to use it.
You have been dishonest here and if you found a phone, then someone had obviously lost it, so you should have handed it in to the police rather than keeping it for yourself.
You probably won't be able to use the phone because it sounds like the phone is locked to the carrier in Muaritius and if you don't own the phone and don't have a contract, then that carrier will problably not unlock the phone for you, so you now have a paperweight that you can't use.
You get no help here for dishonest practices and you won't be able to activate or use that phone.

Is there a way to backup the iphone without entering a passcode that was previously set?

I have a passcode on my iphone, which I recently dropped. Both the front and back screens are cracked severely. I can see when someone txts / calls, so the phone appears to be working, however it is not usable. I cannot access anything on the phone using the touch screen. The screen continues to shake as if there are multiple fingers trying to operate it at once.
Although it would be nice to get back into the phone, I would prefer being able to back it up just one more time. I sync frequently to icloud, but the last time I backed it up to my pc was 11/16/2011. I can access everything I've backed up(txts, images, etc via other applications), but I have some important correspendeces that took place between then and now that I would like to have.
Is there way for me to backup the phone without entering the passcode? Also, I have read through some of the discussions, and pardon my ignorance but I wanted an unequivocal answer to this question: If I restore the phone from the backup of 11/16, will I lose everything after that date? And, are there other alternatives?
I have tried some things which I thought would be clever ways to bypass this problem, but alas...here I am asking for help. I find it frustrating that I can sync to icloud (still) yet I cannot backup to my pc without passcode. I guess a good alternative would be if I could access my txts on icloud? I may consider replacing the screen, but I don't know if this will fix the problem since the phone looks pretty bad. I also prefer not to replace the screen since I wont be using this phone any longer.
Your comments / suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
reaL

Restoring a phone from a backup will put the device back to the state it was when the backup took place, i.e. all info that you had on that phone before using the backup will be gone.
You could try to restore the phone, which will back up the actual data on the phone, including the passcode, and use this backup to set up a new phone with. The passcode will still be the same, because it is part of the backup.
More info here, iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
Not being able to fill in the passcode is not much different from forgetting it.
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

My CDMA Straight Talk iPhone 5 was defective and the Apple Store replaced it. But now I can't activate the new iPhone!

I have been to the Apple Store twice now, and my original iPhone has been replaced three times since Tuesday. Straight Talk says they are getting an error on their end when trying to activate and add the phone to my existing account. They are insistent that the phone I have is not a CDMA iPhone and that I need to go back to the Apple Store again to get another phone. My iPhone said that it is activated on CDMA US network, and shows bars and the 3G symbol; and yet my carrier doesn't show up on the top bar where it should be. The iPhone I have now is in fact CDMA with the part number A1429. Has anyone experienced a similar issue when they had their Straight Talk iPhone replaced?

My friend threw a Straight Talk SIM card in so now it is working on the GSM network. The service isn't as good but at least my phone works again.
