  • HT1212 I have a new iPhone 5c, I have an old iTunes acct. had to reset my password because I can't remember my old password? I guess I tried too many times and now it says it is disabled. How do I fix this?

    I have a new IPhone 5c, and an old iTunes acct. I changed my password because I forgot it. I guess I tried it too many times and now my apple iTunes is disabled. How do I fix that?

    You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it.
    If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • My iPad has a passcode on it, but it got typed in too many times, and now it has been disabled.   However, when I try to plug it into iTunes, it tells me it cannot recognize the device until you enter the passcode.

    My ipad has been disabled and now I'm trying to get it to work again.  However, when I plug it into my computer it says that i need to type in the passcode, but i can't until it connects to itunes...also, my ipad has only been plugged into my friend's computer.  it has never been plugged into a computer since then.  Would this have anything to do with my problem?

    This probably has nothing to do with plugging into your friends computer, but unless you have a backup, everything on the iPad will be lost.
    You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
    You will probably have to use recovery mode

    You can download purchased content again from the various stores as long as you use the same Apple ID, as long as the content is available in the stores, and as long as the content is available  where you live.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

    Connect the iPod to yur syncing computer and restore the iPod via iTunes.. If it asks for the passcode and you can't enter it, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • I have finished a book in Aperture 3. When I press buy book a text comes up " empty text field detected in book" I have been through the book many times and can't find it. Can I over ride it at this stage the book wants to cancel

    I have finished a book in Aperture 3. When I press" buy book' a text comes up " empty text field detected in book" I have been through the book many times and can't find it. Can I over ride it?  At this stage the book wants me to cancel

    I have been through the book many times and can't find it. Can I over ride it?  At this stage the book wants me to cancel
    Sure, you can override the warning and press "Continue" instead.
    But you said "you have been through the book many times" - have you checked the pages in Aperture's book view or have you checked the preview of the book? I'd look at least at at the "Preview" of the Book - after pressing "Continue" you will see the "Preview" button when the next panel is shown. Look carefully at the preview of the book, if any text is missing.
    If you are sure that you like what you see in the preview and no empty textfields show, you can proceed to buy the book.

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Have used Firefox for a long time and now it will not boot up and I get message saying cannot initialize security component. Have uninstalled and re-installed Yahoo optimized 5 version and still the same.

    The only thing I have done different in the past few days is to install trial version of Bitdefender Total Security and I used the PC tune-up feature for PC clean-up and registry cleaner. That seems to be the point I could not loner use Firefox.

    I have Firefox 3.6.6, and now that Firefox 4.0 is available, it crashes constantly. Sometimes less than 5 minutes after I open it. I have a Mac 10.4.11, so Firefox 4.0 isn't an option for me. When I asked Ff to check my plug-ins it said there was an error and to check back later. Twice.
    Because I didn't have any (any) problems with my Ff before the upgrade became available, I am forced to question if Ff has done something to make the earlier version crash so you'll upgrade, but I can't afford to upgrade my Mac right now.
    In the meantime, I do need a browser that works! I dislike Safari, Chrome is also not available on Mac 10.4.11, and Explorer is just plain not available on Mac.
    Do you have any suggestions on how to fix my Firefox 3.6.6?

  • TS1702 WHY EVERYTIME APPLE PUTS OUT A NEW VERSION OF IBOOKS DOES IT CRASH HAPPENED LAST TIME AND NOW WITH V6 i HAVE DONE EVERYTHING IN THE TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE LIKE SIX TIMES AND IT STILL WONT LOAD MY BLOODY BOOKS

    Why does ibooks crash everytime there is an update? I am so sick to death of having to stuff around and do all the trouble shooting rubbish to try and get ibooks working again, everytime there is an up date. I have wiped restored re synced changed usb leads turned my computer off unplugged and replugged every bloody thing  about a dozen times and still after a week, instead of reading my books I have a very expensive paperweight. What is the problem and why does this keep happening with every new update. I am so frustrated and annoyed that I can't just read my book, it is why I bought the **** thing.  Anybody got any other ideas before I go insane?

    Dude thank-you for your wonder detailed knowldge, I have descovered that lets say xp 1700 in a ultra 2 can only handle at the most 143fsb mult at 12.
    Given the settings" irq's are a major",part of directing traffic and power? example:
    Sound blaster Live , uses two irq's most common at"Auto" is, irq 10, or 5, and Sound blaster 16 emulation usually takes irq 5,. I have found that the sound card in slot3 works great , but to do this I had to change the Bio's and assign slot 3 irq 7 . and make sure printer port has share irq enabled
    Problems that accure with bad traffic are like this. Start a dedicated server. minimize than start your game?":censored:  no sound what could be wrong"? Shoot another problem Connection problem?. The computer nerd is getting trouble over the ordeal. ANSWER! IRQ can fix the problem, Study the irq and make changes as you go. "what would it be like with no stop signs,,,that is the same as a irq. with the same knowldge this topic brings IRQ need to be clearly understood.
    I can honestly say my system is error free and running like a dream.
    xp 2500 barton 333
    creative sound 5.1gamers.
    512 mb kingston ram 400 mhz
    boadband either onboard.
    MSI 5700 128 mb ddr
    Setting are:
    163 fsb
    mult of 11
    ddr 333
    video memory clock down to 450mhz
    3d clock to 390mhz
    The delta is a smooth running board also I want to mention to the person with crackling sounds, change the irq like I did, that fix the problem and the power is totaly too good to be true.
