HT201210 Having problems with restoring my iphone 3g can anyone help?

When I am trying to restore my iPhone 3g iTunes first states that an iphone has been detected in 'recovery mode' so I click ok, then it starts restoring the iPhone and before it is complete a pop-up box comes up and says unknown error (1015)
Can anybody help??

That error almost always indicates your phone was jailbroken.
If that's the case, you can't get help here. Try google or the hacking community.
If you are absolutely positive that your phone was not jailbroken or hacked, and that you are not attempting to downgrade iOS, then you have a hardware failure.

I am having problems with iChat after installing Lion, can anyone help?

I installed Lion this week after I installed everything seemed to be working great. However, if I open iChat and then log in and log out it will not let me log back into iChat

Try logging on to AIM on port 443 rather than port 5190.
Go to IChat in the menu bar > Preferences > Accounts.
Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
Set the port to 443(press return/enter(you might have to tick and untick SSL for 443 to stick)).
Log back in again.

unfortunately there are tons of people with this issue but Apple has not given any answers for us to fix this issue yet. I wish they would allocate more people to solving these problems when they roll out new versions of itunes along with new hardware.

Having problems with restoring my iphone 4 to iphone 4s

Hi everyone, I have been having a nightmare with backup and restoring my from my iphone 4 to iphone 4s since Friday night.
Naturally, I got home with my new Iphone 4s and wanted to get it up and running with my current contacts, sms and notes (and apss, etc) off my iphone 4.
I upgraded itunes to 10.5 plugged in my iphone 4 and did a backup and sync to my PC.
Once this completed, I plugged in my iphone 4s and did a restore from a previous backup and selected the iphone 4 recent backup.
This went through the usual process for 30 mins to an hour and then errored out, saying that it cannot complete the restore because....wait for it...the backup maybe corrupt or I am restoring to an incompatible device, something along those lines. I have tried various things and various backups and restoring the iphone back to factory settings. I think on the most recent back up, I got the backup error (-50) which I have naturally gone through all the Apple forums and looked at the resolves for that but it says it is USB and timeout related, but it is not that as I have manged to restore from a backup from April this year and that works perfect.
I know what you are thinking, why not plug your iphone 4 back in and do another back up and then try and do a restore again to the iphone 4s. I would if I could but icloud has turned out to be my enemy in this case. When I was at work and I got my new iphone 4s, I set it up at work as a new phone to see how Siri works and the icloud. Obviously, it asks you to sign in with an apple account before you can go any further into using the phone for the first time. I did this and eventually got the phone on to look at the features. The phone had the new ios5 and I played around with it for a bit. Now when I got home and did the backup of the iphone 4, I connect and disconnect different phones and itunes likes to sync your phone as soon as I plug it in. Now with the combination of icloud backing up the new iphone 4s which is blank and then the new itunes has icloud funtionality, when I replugged the iphone 4 in, it synced with icloud and gave me the new iphone 4s settings which are blank!!!! I then had a blank iphone 4 and a blank iphone 4s, by blank I mean no contacts, sms, notes, etc and everytime I try to do a restore it give me the above errors.
I have since set itunes to back up to the PC, turned off icloud and played around with different restores, It is now Sunday and I have not got my phone back to its more recent settings (Been on it for 3 days!!)
I was wondering if anyone knows what file my contacts, sms, notes is stored in and can I import just that file into my new iphone? As for apps, music, etc, I can always sync them up afterwards using itunes. My main concern is my contacts, sms and notes; email accounts would be useful to restore aswell as I had about 8-10 email accounts in there too (work, personal, domains I own, in case you're wondering).
I have worked in IT for many years and have put all my skills to the test but nothing gets my recent files back. Is there anyone who knows a bit about the programming side of iphone backup files, although any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
For now I will probably revert back to an April backup until someone can help.
Many thank in advance.

It appears that FF3.6.10 is having problems with Silverlight on NetFlix. Can anyone confirm that they are unable to play movies?

Intel Mac OSX 10.5.8
FF 3.6.10
Silverlight (lastest)

I'm having problems streaming movies from Netflix so I called them. They told me if I was dissatisfied, I could cancel my service with them. I guess this is their new customer service policy.

Having problems with my new iPod touch can you help me a first time user?

I cannot locate my photos in the iTunes library, I have no problem with the Music entry, is there something I have to do to create a library entry?
Also I do not get the photo folders only the individual photos in one large file (3500+) good quality but not good for specific look up, again is there anything I need to do to have folder organization?
I'd appreciate any help that I can get, and would thank any particant in advance

Hi Kappy. I have located the photo files from the sync to my ipod, by the way I am a Windows XP user, and what is showing is a file called 'ipod Photo Cache' which contains folders which have the photo conversions of what is in my 'My Pictures' folder, this cache folder follows at the end of my photo library content.
The cache folder files have an extension of .thumb these are conversions for the ipod and appear to change when I delete or modify any photo in my library and to further complicate things these photos (.JPG format) have an intermediate conversion to a (.cpt format)which are contained within my photo library folders. None of this bothers me since I have my photos on the ipod which is of great value to me.
Thanks for your efforts on my behalf, I will now let this rest and proceed to other new challenges in the ipod world.

My iphoto library folder with files of my pictures is missing from the pictures folder, only the application icon remains. I have read through similar discussions but have not managed to fix the problem with the recommended solutions. Can anyone help?

I have a Macbook Pro with iphoto '08 running on Mac OS X version 10.5.8. I used to be able to go to my pictures folder on my HD and access my pictures via that iphoto library folder. There used to be a small arrow next to the iphoto icon with all the albums then listed within the folder (to the right). That arrow is now gone and all I have is the iphoto application icon which just reopens iphoto when I click on it, but I want to be able to access the data files. Somehow I do have files btwn 2008 and 2009 but it hasn't created these since then...Could someone please help me to restore this ability? I have read other similar posts but they seem to be related to lost data all together and I do luckily have all my pictures in iphoto still. I just can't access them in the pictures folder which means I can't access them on my external hard drive. I am now out of start up disc space somehow so I figured I had to delete some albums (I have 12,090 pictures) and do have them backed up but want to make sure I can go back for them when I need them. I did export all the pictures to a folder on the hard drive but it is all 12,090 in one long list with only numbers as names and not in any order, this will be a nightmare to access later! Please help! Thank you!

You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.
That indicates that that is your library. Put it in your Pictures folder if it already isn't there and make sure it's named "iPhoto Library". It should look like this:
Now launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select that library to open. If you get that same message close iPhoto and try the following;
Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Problems with Lumina 820 crashing..can anyone help...

I have owned my Nokia Windows phone for 18months with no issues, until about 1 week ago, after downloading updates from the store, my phone began to crash, every 12 hours...Every thing appeared normal, until I lifted the front screen, when I was greeted with a black screen, and the word 'resuming' and from there, all I could do is remove the battery and re-start the phone...which then appeared and worked normally, until the next 'crash'!...which occured twice daily...I thought I had resolved the problem on Friday, when I uploaded new phone updates, and altough it did crash once more, for the next 36 hours was working normally, until this morning, when it crashed again.. I have contacted a nokia rep, and she was useless...has anyone else had this problem, or has anyone else got any ideas, what could be wrong, or how I can fix the problem....

Welcome to Nokia Discussions, Janette55.
Try using the Lumia Pusher app. There might be some update components that have not been completely applied. You may download it for free by proceeding with the link below.
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/lumia-pusher/d4ef32ad-b9fc-4150-99ba-94daa08798f4
If that doesn't fix the issue, I advise making a full backup of the contents stored in your phone and use the Nokia Software Recovery Tool.
Good luck

Having trouble with Hyperlinks in Indesign CS6 Can Anyone Help?

I'm creating an ebook. I've created my hyperlinks - like I always do - Hyperlink destination for Chapter Number and New Hyperlink in the Table of Contents. It works when I check it in Indesign but when I export the epub file and open it in Digital Editions or Calibre there is no evidence of a hyperlink. As if I didn't create any. Tried everything.
Could it be something in the Microsoft Word doc. I imported into Indesign?
Appreciate your help.

Ask in the ID forum.

I m having problems with both my iphone 3gs and 4 when my cellular data is on and my battery is fully charge but out of suddenn it will shut off can i know how can i troubleshoot this issue thanks

simply try doing a back up and restore
when going thru the activation screen, select SET UP AS NEW and then test your device. if it is not shutting down then it could be 1 or more apps tht have been downloaded wch could be affecting the device
you will then need to follow the process of eleimnation, meaning add 2 apps and then monitor your phone, if nothing happes then add another couple of them and then check
good luck !!
