So, about a week ago my macbook pro started having lots of issues: wifi connectivity, slow performance, sound issues, spotlight wasn't working. After going through the issues with apple support, they decided the best course of action was to erase the hard drive and do a reinstall. Since I have a recent backup this seemed like a good enough option. They were kind enough to send me a copy of the snow leopard disk to do the install since we couldn't get it to complete through the disk utility. Not sure why, since it says we are fully connected, it just never completed.
Anyway, so now that you have the background here is the new issue. The macbook pro keeps spitting out the disk I'm trying to install from. Disk utility and using the 'Startup Disk' function from the apple menu doesn't read the disk.
Can anyone suggest a solution to this vexing problem?
Thanks in advance.Jeremy.Laurin,
have you tried agb76’s approach here? -

A computer illiterate friend created 3 accounts on his iPhone 5 but forgot the passwords. He can't reset the password as his yahoo address is no longer valid. Erasing the phone doesn't solve the issue as the Apple server identifies the hardware as registered. How to register the phone with Apple?
I helped him create a new email address and new iCloud account on my Mac but when we try to register the phone with Apple it says: Maximim accounts limit reached for this device. How can he register the phone? I read different threads and found out that only Apple care can do that. We're in Romania and don't know where to call. Any suggestions on how we fix this?When I checked the support site for Romania, you apparently don't have an Apple Care contact center. You "may" try calling the US Apple care number to verify the account and have the password reset sent to a different email address. 800-694-7466

I have changed operator and also changed IOS and did a back up of my old phone in Itunes so i would keep all my contacts etc. Now when i want to get everything back in the phone, Itunes asks me for a password, which i do not have since i did not enter any password when i did the back up. Is there any way I can bypass this password request? Otherwise i have lost all my contacts etc.
Greatful for help.Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service like Gmail, iCloud, or an Exchange server.
Have you failed to use the device as designed? -
I installed photoshop cs6 in my new computer and when it asks me for my serial number I write it but it wont accept it
There are two steps when entering a serial number:
When you enter it in the 24-digit field, you should see a green checkmark. If you see a red x, you may have mis-typed the number, as Ben pointed out, it could be for a suite instead of a standalone product.
If it takes the number and installs, then activation is the next step. If it fails to activate, you may have exceeded your activations or the number might have been retired.
In that case, contact Customer Care with proof of purchase.

I tried to download itunes to my phone.First it wanted it to download the new itunes.We also updated our Windows xp.I kept coming up can't complete because there was an error when setting up.One time is was error 9 and they tried to help me.I have a laptop with the internet and we tried it there.We were able to get service pack 3 downloaded.So we did upgrade the itunes on the laptop even though I have never put music on there but there is some from someone .I never heard of many of the songs.Any how I did try to download and restore on the laptop and then come to the land computer and see if the box comes up to restore the contacts.Well it didn 't work and now my phone won't even turn on .I have no one to call if something happened to me.I am going to the Apple store right off the bat tomorrow morning.I have everything in the box and the phone and reciept and see if they make it work or give me another one.I have to take my sim card again since They gave it back to me.I bet it means I can't sync the photos in the phone.Even with 2 computers and talking with 3 people it still did not work.All because I wanted to download the itunes to my phone.I don't care now if I can just get my phone to work and my contacts are in there.I hope I don't have to buy the ringtones again I bought 4 of them.Any one have this problem and what did you do to fix it?
The Apple rep tried both those ideas and both failed. The rep was connected to my computer so she
could see my screen and show me exactly what to do. My iPhone (not ipad) never has synced photos to my computer,
I have to use explorer to copy and paste or cut and paste them to my PC . It is the syncing back to my iPhone of only the much smaller selected photos that used to sync in itunes but now the itunes sync button cannot be clicked to make that happen. And the reason I only sync back selected photos is that my total PC pictures file is about 40 Gb. Also I find it a lot more useful to have a small number of folders ( no sub-folders of course) so I can quickly locate on my iPhone pictures from different categories such as family, autos, etc. None of this posed any problems for over a year until just recently. I am reading on other threads of many people with other iTunes syncing problems, and wonder now if it is the latest iTunes updates that are causing the problems? While I have tried removing and reinstalling iTunes on my PC, I don't know how or if you can, install a previous version? -
After spending MANY hours creating a nearly 100 page photo book of our wedding, we were very upset to discover that the app crashes every time we try to actually order the book. Using an iPad 2. App will work right up to entering the cvs code on my credit card and then crash. You would think apple would be all over a problem that prevents users from spending over $100 to order an album. Been waiting to hear something / anything that will help.
At what point do we stop shooting in the dark and resign to the (what seems to be) fact that there is a problem with the app?
I thought, you want to rescue the work you invested into your wedding album? Confirming a problem with iPhoto will not rescue your book.
But iPhoto is just one component in a complex system - all parts have to work properly - the network, Apple's Print Products Store in your country (you are not in Australia, are you?), the settings and presets on your ipad, the system files, iPhoto, and the photos you are using.
I am quite confident in saying that there is not a data corruption issue with any of the photos. They are all photos of the same format taken from the same camera by the photographers at our wedding. Those photos were copied to my computer off of the DVDs and synced to my iPad.
And during this sync transmission errors may have occured. Browsing alone will not necessarily show you any data corruption because previews may be used and not the original image files. Only editing will use the originals.
I can't see the issue being an incomplete installation of iPhoto, as we have also created a couple scrapbooks and stuff just to play with, and also view over airplay. I can't see how an incomplete installation would allow all the functions of the app to work
The installation includes many ressource files, and one of these ressources may have been transferred incompletely. All may work properly, until you need the ressources required for assembling your book.
Then reinstalling can fix it.
At what point do we stop shooting in the dark
I prefer systematic troubleshooting to narrow down the problem to isolate the issue - why are you asking for our help, if you already have done so?
resign to the (what seems to be) fact that there is a problem with the app?
That is up to you, to decide when the evidence is conclusive - it is your book that you are giving up.
If you are convinced, that it is a bug in iPhoto, nothing will save your book but an iPhoto update with a bug fix. Then the only option will be to file a bug report, so the developers are notified. Posting here in a user forum or talking to Apple Geniusses will not ensure that:

I guess the title says it all. So am i correct that I will need to wipe my phone and loose all my contacts that I have spent years accumulating along with all my other data? There were no passwords on this phone before downloaded the updated operating system. This makes no sense. Find my phone is very sporatic with this new operating system. Jumps back and forth between phones on its own. I am so frustrated with Apple!
When I downloaded the new softwared to my iphone, it put a password on my restrictions
No it didn't. You did, whether you realize it or not. Restrictions can only be enabled by user interaction. They don't just turn on by themselves.
So am i correct that I will need to wipe my phone and loose all my contacts that I have spent years accumulating along with all my other data?
Why do'nt you just restore the latest backup that was made prior to you applying the update? Problem solved? -

It is technically possible to downgrade. However Nokia strongely suggests against it. They believe that downgrading the software may cause the phone to crash and may become unusable.

When I hook my iPad to my Sony Vaio running Windows 7, the unistall program gives me a msg to uninstall the Apple Mobile Application and iTunes to upgrade a driver. When I try to uninstall iTunes, the unistall program shows a msg "the program you are trying to unistall is on disk, please install the disk to continue.' I did not install the program from a disk but downloaded from the Apple Website. Does anyone know what causes this and how can I unistall iTunes to reinstall it. Thanks.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
I know my apple id and password but my new iphone 5 is asking for a voicemail password and I dont know what that is. Can I disable this?
The voicemail password is independent from Apple/your iPhone and is related to your service provider. If you already set a password for your voice mailbox, you would need to input it in order to access your voice messages associated with your cell-phone plan. If you forgot your voice-mail password or did not set one, I'd advise you to simply call your cell-service provider support which should quickly resolve the issue.

I just want to let those of you who have problems connecting to home internet. I had same problem with my 4s iphone and tried many of the suggestions here as well as on the internet. Then I found something called an internet extender. Bought it and worked like a charm. It was worth the $60 I paid. No more hours of trying to figure it out. I don't know if this will work for anyone else with this problem but if it helps you I'm happy
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort Express base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the Express; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has initialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, the Express will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options.
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the Express from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the Express. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the Express to the Internet broadband modem. For the 2nd generation Express, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps. -
Does anyone know how to rest their security questions because I have forgotten mine!
How to reset your Apple ID security questions.
Go to appleid.apple.com, click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
Log in with your Apple ID and password. (If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email)
Go to the Password & Security section on the left side, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'.
This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
If that doesn't work, or there is no rescue email link available, then click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
Next, go to https://getsupport.apple.com
(If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
A new page will open.
Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Forgotten Apple ID Security Questions'.
Click the blue 'Continue' button.

After itunes turned phone off and restored for no reason it is not allowing us to use current apple id or password. How do I fix this?
Is it asking for the password of a previous Apple ID? Are you the original owner of this iPhone?
If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. No must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.
