HT1212 Phone disabled. I tried all the recommendations.

I tried all the recommendations on line. Can't get to the recovery mode in iTunes. My 14 year old son does not have his own Itunes, it is set up on my as it was my old phonent and has never synced iphone 4 device with iTunes. Any other ideas to help unlock his phone please? Do I just need to go to an Apple store? Thanks!

Hi Gbragg,
You should take a look at this related post:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/925387
There are some links to a few Knowledge Base articles in there. Have you tried those steps yet? I'd also try the suggestions by cor-el. He is one of our most brilliant contributors!
Hopefully this helps!

HT201263 Problem is a black screen. I have tried all the recommendation from the support article, however the iPhone 4 screen still remains black

Hi, My wife has developed a problem overnight after charging her phone. The Problem is a black screen. I have tried all the recommendation from the support article, however the iPhone 4 screen still remains black

Take the iPhone to an Apple store genius bar for testing, and if it is defective and under warranty they will replace. Since you say iPhone 4, was this a used or refurbished iPhone?

my iphone just stopped connecting to my wifi and i have tried all the recommended troubleshooting with no success. Also when i send a text , it shows it coming from my email address instead of my cell #. i dont receive any text going to my cell #. help

If i understand what you are saying then you are seeing the WiFi indicator after connecting but Apps are saying that they are not connected to the internet?
Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be to restart your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

I cant connect to wifi but my laptop can and my other phones can.ived done all the recommendations in ipad support but still cant connect..what else shall i do?

i cant connect to wifi but my laptop can and my other phones can.ived done all the recommendations in ipad support but still cant connect..what else shall i do?

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

TS1538 ipod classic 160 gb. unable to restore or format. tried all the recommended steps. no go. Any suggestions?

ipod classic 160 gb. Unable to Restore. Also cannot format via C:\ right click on drive and Format. Have tried all the recommended steps I can find. No luck. Any suggestions?

do you need an internet connection to do a restore? (after downloading the software of course)
I can't get to a different connection until Friday night...
It doesn't seem like the antivirus and whatnot made any difference.
what kind of hardware problem do you think it is/would it be fixable or would I have to buy a whole new ipod?
I think the harddrive is still okay... it feels the same vibration wise now as it was when it was working fine- no awkward clicking or movements like I experienced when my old laptop's harddrive crashed.

Firefox stops responding immediately after startup. I've tried all the recommended troubleshooting methods and cannot figure out why.

I have tried all of the recommended troubleshooting methods but none of them seem to work. This issue began despite no change being made to Firefox, or my computer; it just spontaneously stopped responding after launch.
Not only does Firefox stop responding, but it also prevents any other programs from being launched, and make already launched programs extremely slow. Furthermore, once it stops responding, it becomes impossible to get rid of; the only way is to log off, or restart the computer entirely.

Went from windows 7 to 8 and now cannot play my previously bought songs.Tried all the recommendations about authorizing but doesn't make sense on win, 8

Hi
I changed over from windows 7 to windows 8 and now my previously bought songs will not play.Tried to follows all the intructions for authorising my computer but can't seem to make sense of them.The instructions don't seem to be for windows 8.Can somebody help?
Thank You
Robert

Hello Robert,
With the latest version of iTunes on Windows, the menu bars are hidden, and it sounds like yours need to be enabled before you can authorize your computer. You can follow these steps to enable the menu bars:
To keep the iTunes menus active, change the setting by selecting the Menu icon in the upper-left, and then selecting Show Menu Bar. Alternatively, you can press Control-B.
You can find the full article here:
iTunes: Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5610
Once you have those turned on, you should be able to go to "Store>Authorize This Computer..." as outlined in this article:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Is anyone having issues with your iphone even finding wifi since the newest update? My phone will not even acknowledge a wifi exists anymore. I have tried all the recommended fixes thus far.

I can no longer connect to wifi with the my phone. This is very troubling. I am planning on getting a new non-apple phone.

Apps quit unexpectedly says thread 0 crash (?) tried all the recommended fixesd

Hi everyone - I know I'm on borrowed time with my 10 year old Mac mini but recently after installing new Camino and most recent Flash plugin that is compatible with 10.4.11 I started to have all apps quit unexpectedly, and so far I noticed it always happens right after trying to access Screen Saver in System Preferences or when I try to play a file in iTunes. I already repaired disk permissions and used disk repair from installer CD. I'm not able to copy the reports for some reason but they all say "thread 0 crash EXC.BAD.INSTRUCTION" The iTunes crash shows " libmathCommon.Adylib" in the reports. Anyone who attempts to help will get points from me - Thanks so much!!!

Hve you tried:
Uninstalling Camino
Repairing permissions
Are you sure you installed the correct version of Flash Player?
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 is for Snow Leopard onwards.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

Cannot get Adobe Reader to load a PDF on Firefox. Tried all the recommended solutions, none work

Every time I try to download a PDF file from a website, I get an error message that "Adobe Acrobat/Reader cannot be opened in a web browser, close it and try again". I have uninstalled and re-installed both firefox and adobe reader as well, and then followed the suggestions again. Still doesn't work. I am running Windows XP

Also, sorry -- one more thought:
When I run through the "Troubleshoot compatibility" it tells me that something is incompatible ("issues found: Incompatible Application"). when it asks me, "which version of Windows did this program work on before?" it doesn't give me windows 7 as an option.
Help!

I can't get a disk to eject. Tried all the recommended methods; still won't eject.

I inserted a printer setup disk but now the thing won't eject no matter what I do! Help was of no help. I'm hoping someone out there has run into this problem with a MacBookPro and can suggest something to try.

This happened after I got my carrier to unlock my phone.

Hi, I tried all the steps listed in these forums and they didn't work (I deleted the apps and added them back, I dled a new app, I signed in and out of my acct, I synced my phone, I did a reset holding down the power and home button, etc.). Finally I just restored the phone and added back the apps I wanted. That took care of it. Thanks.

TS1389 Repeatedly asking to authorize a computer, but then says it is already authorized. I have tried all the fixes listed, nothing works! Now I can't sync my phone

Apple, why can't you fix this? I haven't even seen anyone from apple comment.
Every day that Jobs is gone, apple becomes more like Microsoft.
Does anyone have a fix? I have tried all the fixes short of a restore on my phone.

Hello Becky,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the explicit songs in iTunes. Have you checked to see if the explicit content is restricted in your iTunes Preferences?
If you have "Music with explicit content" checked under the Restrict menu, it will restrict music that is shared, on iTunes in the cloud, and music in the iTunes Store.
Use the steps in the following article to check these settings:
