  • HT201210 my i phone will not update because the firmware file is not compatible what does that mean?

    I am trying to run an update on my iphone and I received an error saying the firmware file is not compatible. What does that mean?

    Navigate to this folder and delete any and all .ipsw files you find. You will have to turn on "show all hidden files & folders" to see them:
    OSX:
    ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
    XP:
    C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
    Vista & 7:
    C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
    Turn off or disable ALL security software & any firewalls. Make sure you're using a high powered USB port directly on your computer...no hubs, if a desktop use a port on the back of your computer. Disconnect ALL other USB devices.
    Try again.

  • CS6 Windows not downloading Premire, After Effects, or Photoshop because the product isn't genuine. What does that mean?

    I have Production Premium CS6, I got the serial number and started downloading all the components until it stopped and said that it wasn't a Adobe Genuine Software. I don't know why this happened. I downloaded all of the things from my downloads page on Adobe and can't think of anything that would keep me from downloading the rest.
    Things that are downloaded:
    Audition, Bridge, Encore, ExtendScript, Extension Manager, Illustrator, Media Encore, Prelude, Speedgrade
    Things I really wanted out of the whole bundle like Premire, Photoshop, and After Effects can't be downloaded.

    Hey norman184,
    Thanks for the question. I see you came from the most relevant article, so you are definitely on the right track. Here is what I found in regards to error 6:
    Errors related to third-party security software
    Error 2, 4 (or -4), 6, 1000, 9006
    1. Follow the steps to troubleshoot security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    2. There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    3. Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    4. Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or phobos.apple.com isn't blocked by a firewall or other Internet security setting.
    5. Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under "Advanced steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw)" below for file locations.
    6. Restore your device while connected to a different network.
    7. Restore using a different computer.

  • Mobile Me Verification Failed - it says the certificate for this server is invalid.  What does that mean?

    Trying to set up a 2nd device on Mobile Me and it's telling me "Verification Failed, Certificate for this server is invalid, I might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be setup.me.com which can put my confidential information at risk."   Please tell me what this means and how to correct it.  My 1st device set up with Mobile Me just fine. 

    Check your date/time settings if correct.
    Happened to me when I changed the battery then I found out that the settings is not yet set.
    Works flawless now!
    Good luck!

  • When combining files, conversion keeps failing with red notice that the document if password protected. What does that mean and what do I do?

    When combining files, conversion keeps failing with a red notice that the document is password protected. I was combining all pdf files and had just been successful with some of the same content under a different file name. What is wrong and how do I correct it?

    Hey SUSANO,
    I am sorry but you cannot combine files if they are password protected.
    You can check the same under 'File > Properties> Security

  • Newly downloaded version icon won't drag into Applications folder because I "don't have sufficient privileges" - what does that mean & how do I fix it?!

    I opened a new window in Firefox, which was still open from last night. I saw the notice:
    URGENT!
    Your version of Firefox is no longer protected against online attacks.
    Get the upgrade - it’s fast and free!
    So, I clicked on the download which ran fine. At step 3, drag the Firefox icon to the Applications icon, a pop up said I didn't have sufficient privileges to do that.
    What does this mean and how do I fix it?! Thank you,
    Allison

    You're welcome

  • My Ipad saids that it could not activate because the activation server is temp unavailable.  What does that mean?

    My IPAD2 saids that it can not activate because the activation server is down. What does this mean.

    It was bought from an second hand shop, called cash conventors, which you give your old electricals in and you get money for it, then they put those electricals for sale and i bought this iphone that way
    It was working fine before but i couldnt call people as it said "call failed" and then there was a call back option which leads you to the home screen !
    I have restored my iphone and now it says :
    the iphone could not activate because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Please connect to itunes to activate it or try again in a few minutes.
    iTunes says: There is no sim card installed in the iPhone you are trying to activate.       Please disconnect and insert a sim card in the iPhone.
    There already is a valid simcard in the iPhone though!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Since last upgrade I can't sync because the iPhoto library is not available

    I upgraded Yosemite, iTunes and iOS. Now neither my iPhone or my iPad will sync. The sync gets halfway through and then fails because "the iPhoto library is not available". I've tried reloading Photos but when I look in the photo section in iTunes all I get is a spinning cursor. How can I get iTunes to recognise that Photos is the place to sync the photo library from? Alternatively, can I skip syncing photos and make the rest of the sync happen?

    I think I've worked out how to fix this. I closed iTunes and ran Photos with the Option/Alt key depressed and told it to use the old iPhoto library as the System photo library. This caused Photos to reimport all the old photos into a new Photos library called Photos Library 2.
    When I then ran iTunes and connected my iPad, I got a message saying that the photo source had changed and nothing would be synced until I selected the correct option. This did not happen the previous time I ran Photos and imported the old iPhoto library. I'm now syncing using the second Photos library and it all appears to be working.
    I suspect that I closed my laptop down during the original conversion of the iPhoto library (thinking it had finished) and this interrupted the process. This time I let it carry on working for four hours before opening iTunes and I suspect that is what made the difference. Of course, I've lost all the photos I added in the last ten days, but I may be able to retrieve them from my backups.

  • HT1751 On an old Mac I got this message while trying to burn a CD for the car: "The attempt to burn a disc failed.  The burn failed because of a medium write error."  What does this mean?  And how do I work around it?

    On an older Mac I got this message while trying to burn a CD for the car: "The attempt to burn a disc failed.  The burn failed because of a medium write error."  What does this mean?  And how do I work around it?

    I had been getting this all morning and checked other messages from the community. THe one which worked was trying a different brand of disc.
    I had been using Verbatim which had copied the music fine off the Real Player on my PC at school, but wouldn't work with I Tunes. Tried a Staples and an Office Depot CD-R , both of which did the job.
