HT201365 How can I get around the system lock pin code  if I dont know what it is? I have my username and passwork

I have switched on my MAC after 2 months of no use and I am getting the grey screen asking for a system lock pin code, I dont know what it is, how can I get into my MAC?
Many thanks
Graham

That sounds like it's requestion the Find My Mac passcode.  If you don't know it, you'll have to take it to a nearby Apple store with proof of purchase/ownership as only they can unlock it for you.

  • My kid put a password to my new ipad how can i get into the system

    my kid put a password on to my new ipad 2 and y cannot get into the system what can i do?

    You can't get in unless you know the password so Now you have to restore the iPad in order to unlock it. You should restore the iPad to the same computer that you sync with so that you can restore your app data and iPad settings. You will probably need to use recovery mode in order to restore the device as well.

  • Something wrong with my email it keep eat up my hard drive.  how can i get into the system and delete the mail folder

    how can I delete the mail folder in the hard drive.. it keep redownload the emails and eat up my hard drive

    If you have your mail set up as an IMAP account, then it will download everything that is in your Inbox (on the online site/server) again and again. You can move your emails to another folder online after you've read them or you can also delete them online after you've saved the ones you want to keep.
    If you have your mail set up as a POP account, emails are downloaded once and then reside on your hard drive; you can indicate in Mail Preferences > Accounts if you want the messages online deleted immediately or after one week, etc.

  • How can I get around the -40 import error?

    I'm using iMovie 3.03 and just found out that the -40 error I get when importing videos is due to a 9 minute (and 32 seconds) limit. My imports (1 mov and 1 avi) are just over 14 minutes each. Does anyone know of a work around for this problem? Or of any 3rd party software that will allow me to cut the import in half so I can bring each file into iMovie in 2 parts?
    Thanks for any advice you can give.
    YH!

    OK... I went to the site and downloaded the app. I ran it and it exported 9 mins of the file and then would not export the other half and gave me an error: NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError:4
    Then I put the app on my desktop and changed the length of the file exported to 8 mins (using the instructions given with the download. When I ran it again, it said I needed Quicktime Pro to run it.
    So... now what I don't want to do is buy Quicktime Pro and find out that it still won't work. Would Quicktime Pro be able to do split the videos? Or at least be able to cut half of the video off and save as another file name?

  • How can I get around the character limit in the "print pages" option

    I have a rather large PDF file and I need to print certain pages (for example, pages 1, 324, 456, 759, 812, 946, 1206, 1562, 1792, etc.). However, when I click on print and try to type in the pages, there is a character limit, and it is much smaller than the number of characters I need to type. Is there a way around this? Thanks.

    OK I figured out the answer. Ctrl+J opens up the console (You have to activate javascript). The following script will extract the pages into a new document, and then you can simply print those pages. All you need to do is fill up the "pageArray" array with a list of your pages, separated by commas. It does not support ranges.
    // Extracts all pages listed into a new document
    var pageArray = [INSERT YOUR LIST OF PAGE NUMBERS HERE, SEPARATED BY COMMAS];
    if (pageArray.length > 0) {
    var d = app.newDoc();    // this will add a blank page - we need to remove that once we are done
    for (var n = 0; n < pageArray.length; n++) {
    d.insertPages( {
    nPage: d.numPages-1,
    cPath: this.path,
    nStart: pageArray[n]-1,
    nEnd: pageArray[n]-1,
        // remove the first page
        d.deletePages(0);

  • How can I get around the find bar no longer being shared between tabs in the latest version of Firefox?

    Previously, one could open a new tab and the find bar would remain at the bottom of the page from the previously opened tab. So, for example, I could search for something in a tab I open, open a new tab and the same find bar would be at the bottom so I could search the new website for the same thing. Any way around this?

    Hi,
    This function is no longer officially in Firefox, however this addon replaces it: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/find-in-tabs
    Hope this helps!

    Adobe InDesign CC Update
    There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later. Error Code: U43M1D207
    I quit all running adobe programs except the Adobe Application Manager and I still get this error. It seems that I am not able to do any application upgrades.
    I sure wish Adobe would provided a direct link to an update file.
    Why is it that the updates within the CS 6 applications will work but not in the CC versions?

  • System Lock pin code

    Hi,
    My mac is asking me for a 6 digits System Lock pin code to peform a clean install (booting from a USB drive) .   My security pin code has 4 digits, not 6 but it seems that the screen doesn't allow me to type in only 4.
    Had you seen this before?  any workaround or fixes ?
    Thanks in advance

    Also,  If I boot up the mac using my Snow Leopard installation disk, it works and by-passes this screen which doesn't look good (safe?) to me as I can by pass the code and peform a Mac OSX clean installation.
    By the way, theare are 2 codes involved here ,  the firmware password (any character)  and the system lock pin code (only numeric digits) .
    I have no problem with my firmware password as my mac accepts it with no problem.  The problem is that system lock 6 digits pin-code when I chose only a 4 digits one.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    If you have an iBook G4, (PPC) you can't do much.
    But if that is a MacBook (intel) you may be able to
    upgrade the OS X, if the hardware is up to it...
    Since there were about nine different build models
    of MacBook (not powerpc iBook) to identify what
    one you have would be the first step to knowing
    what OS X and RAM upgrades it could use.
    If the computer is not already at OS X 10.6.8,
    it can't go online to get or use OS X 10.7.5. So,
    when you more accurately describe the 'Book,
    detailed information is available.
    When you find the serial number, there is a web
    page that can be used to identify by serial no.
    http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
    That'd be a first step. Or even the Model number
    which should be visible on the outer case by hinge.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    - Try contacting iTunes for the password problem:
    Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us
    - For the other problem you can try a reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - The next standard thing to do is to download/install a new app but you cant 'do that.
    - Instead, try restoring from backup.

  • I cannot sync my phone because my device is locked and the screen is broken. how can i get around this?

    My screen on my iPhone 5s 16g has broken and i just received a new one in the mail. i want to sync my old phone to iTunes so i can restore my new one, but cannot sync do to the fact that my screen is broken and i am unable to unlock the phone… how can i get around this?

    You don't. If you use a 3rd party to "fix it" or attempt to do it yourself, Apple will reject the return and charge you the full price of the phone as if you had not returned it at all.
    It's too late. You should have been backing up before it failed.
