    Welcome to the Apple community tuckerson.
    Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

    Hello echo1946
    Start with the first article to troubleshoot the issue of not getting mail on your iPad. When you get online using safari, check to see if you can log into webmail. Also keep in mind, depending on the account that mail sometimes might not come in if it is a POP account as it may have already been download elsewhere.

  • I support a very large school district currently running Firefox 3.6. What will happen at end of life date? We're in the middle of online testing this week.

    I run the test center for a very large school district with over 120k students. We've got a current deployed base of 54k client machines using Firefox 3.6. We haven't upgraded due to multiple reasons, the most important of which is removing the possibility of using In Private Browsing from the students, and dealing with plugin-updates for the non digital natives (read dumber than a bag of hammers users) that make up the majority of the client base.
    We're testing ESR now, but just found out that end of life for 3.6 is tomorrow, 4/24. We are currently in the middle of statewide online testing. The question is, what will happen tomorrow when the browser goes end of life. The ESR wiki mentions that "an update to the current version of Desktop Firefox will be offered through the Application Update Service"
    So the main question is, are my students/teachers going to get a popup telling them they have to update the browser if we have the updates already turned off? If so, can I turn it off remotely using SCCM, because it will cause all kinds of havoc.
    Please advise asap, and thanks in advance.

    We had to do some serious gymnastics to remove at least most of the ability to use IPB. We removed it from the gui, but unfortunately, if they know the hotkey, they can still bring it up. Security has some serious headaches with this, as by law they have to be able to track where students go, and going with private browsing removes their ability to do forensic work they're required to be able to do. Not a very well thought out feature from Mozilla in my opinion, but it is what it is. Successive versions have made it even more difficult to remove even the gui portion.
    We do plan to release ESR due to the aforementioned security issues, but testing has been slow.
    But thanks for the reply. I think we can turn off the updates if it isn't already done.

  • Lumia 925 - what will happen to my phone after bat...

    Hello,
    I'm considering buying Lumia 925 but I'm concerned about non-replacable battery.
    Let's assume that my warranty is already over and the battery lost its life - do I need to replace the phone, or nokia service center would be able to replace the battery somehow?
    Thanks

    I'm sure that it will end up as a fixed price item at Nokia Care facilities, although you could expect about 1000 charge/discharge cycles or 2 - 3 years of normal usage before replacement becomes necessary.

  • On my blackberry torch I was able to turn the phone off after I set the alarm and the alarm rang at the correct time and started the phone. I cannot do this with the z10. Anyone have a solution?

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    As the BB10 phones are completely different to the older BBOS devices. Some features don't exist anymore. You can set the phone to bedtime mode at night. It will not ring or alert you. But the alarm will go off.

  • Itunes on my McBook Pro keeps asking me the password and I cannot get access to the account

    Hello,
    I need to change my account payment information but I cannot connect to my account from the itunes of my MacBook Pro because it keeps asking the password even if it is correct.
    How can I solve this?
    Thanks for the help,
    Daniele Reghellin

    Oh reghe, I'm sincerely sorry that my workaround didn't work for you. Thank you for your appreciation. That's most kind of you, considering the sadness that we both feel about now. There is an old Japanese proverb that seems fitting here, "Fall down seven times, get up eight".
    Nonetheless, I assure you, reghe, the very same fix has worked time & again for myself & for many others too. It's really not even a fix, it's just routine maintenance & the 3 steps that I gave you to do with Disc Utility have been safely done by thousands upon thousands of people over the years. Anyone can do those 3 steps in Safe Mode or in Regular Mode. I just prefer Safe Mode because it prevents any possible interference from anything 3rd party (meaning not from Apple).
    Since you asked, when you startup your computer & hold down the shift key until there's nothing left to do besides sign-in, it will show ‘Safe Boot’ in red, right there on your sign-in screen. Then you can do the maintenance w/Disc Utility, restart into Regular Mode & go. Remember that in cases such as this I believe that signing into the ASC first yields a cookie from Apple in your browser (such as the one identifying this discussion) which helps you sign into other things Apple such as iTunes.
    I'm really trying not to go on & on as I know you asked for brevity, but the 3 steps with Disc Utility that I outlined for you are actually considered routine maintenance (in either Mode) & have a history of being recommended after each & every update of Apple's software.  I'm not sure why it did not work but it may be related to running Mavericks rather than Snow Leopard as your post stated.
    I think it would be best for you to start another thread & simply ask the very same question. Someone with more expertise than I will see it & help you. Finally, reghe, I am 100% positive that my recommendations did no harm.
    As you can imagine, things are extremely busy right now here at the ASC because of the recent releases of iPhone 6 and iOS 8; however, another ASC Member will help you; we are volunteers; but we are legion.

  • I want to link my Mac Mini through my independent hifi system, which forms part of my home tv system which is the monitor I am using with the Mac Mini. The hdmi cable I am using comes from the receiver of the tv. I cannot get sound from the Mac Mini. Do

    I cannot link my new MacMini with my TV's sound system. It's a Pioneer screen & receiver with an independent Pioneer Amp. The Mac Mini does not pick up the sound through the hdmi cable, so how do I get sound going through the MacMini so I can appreciate the music and films I want to hear. Do I need another piece of Apple kit? I have seen 'Express' on Apples web site. Surely I dont have to pay for this as well?
    I used to have an Apple TV box which had a seperate audio connection from my Pioneer Amp and it worked great.
    Help will be appreciated

    The Mac Mini is going to be used for an Internet connection on the Pioneer Plasma/receiver so I can also play stored films from a seperate hard drive. The receiver has an HDMI connection which I have connected the Mac Mini too. the picture is fine, but there is no sound. I have checked the 'sound' settings on the Mac Mini and it registers the Pioneer PDP receiver is connected but states it has no audible connection?

  • I'm getting an error message that says iphoto is damaged - delete and reinstall from app store.  If I delete iphoto, what will happen to my pictures?

    I'm getting an error message when I try to open iPhoto - it says, "iPhoto is damaged and cannot be opened. Delete iPhoto and download it again from the App Store." If I delete and reintall, what will happen to my pictures?  I cannot open my pictures from the Finder either to save them/back them up.

    Hello jwhhunt,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Your iPhoto Library is stored separately from your iPhoto application, therefore reinstalling iPhoto as the error message describes, will not affect your iPhoto Library.

    Hi All,
    I've never used migration assist before. so im hoping to get some answers to a few question before i migrate over to an iMac from a macbook.
    I'm wondering what will happen to my old mac after i move over to the new imac. i want to keep using my old macbook when im not home.
    i understand that i can migrate, users, settings, files and/or apps across to the new mac.
    So,
    1. what happens to user account on the old mac after MA? will it deactivate?
    no. MA makes absolutely no changes to the computer you are migrating from.
    (im thinking this b'cos its called a ' "migration" assistant' meaning im permanently moving from one to another)
    2. what will happen to all my music in itunes? will i loose them in the old mac?
    no. as i said, the old computer will not be affected in any way.
    3. i have many paid apps. Am i allowed to move it over to another mac?
    that depends on the license for a particular app.
    and does it deactivate/delete the apps in the old mac? what happens if i get 2 copies of apps? (am guessing one copy will stop working, if thats true how you choose?)
    no, both copies will work.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated. the support document dont really explain much about the what happens to the old mac.
    Your tips and suggestion are welcome.
    thanks in advance. cheers~!
