    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.

  • I was told by the Apple store to create multiple user ids to control the content on my iphone. I did that and now I cannot find my original library with all of my playlists

    I was told by the Apple store to create separate user ids on my windows computer to create a new library to control the content on my iphone. I held down shift and clicked i tunes and created the library. I was told you can switch back and forth. I cannot find the old library and all of my playlists. Apple really needs a better way for families to manage their libraries and devices. This is such a pain in the butt!

    No, as I stated in the post this is the first issue we've had with the phone. No, this was not a replacement phone, this is the same phone I bought from the apple store in December and had not been serviced by anyone, it did not have any issues until last week.

  • I was told at the apple store to open a new I-Tunes library and transfer the music from the old library to the new.  He thinks there is a problem with the old library as it keeps corrupting the i-pod.  Any ideas on how???

    Was told by the person at the APple store today to open new library on I-tunes - he felt the current library has something wrong and that opening a new library and transferring the music to there would perhaps prevent the ipod from becoming corrupt.   Any ideas how to do this???

    Need more info, if you want better response.
    What do you mean by corrupting the iPod?
    What is wrong with your iPod?
    Which version of iTunes are you using?
    What is the iPod software  version as shown in the iTunes summary page?
    Have a nice day!

  • TS4036 I tried to restore my iPad from the cloud backup but the iCloud returned the following message 'no backup available'? This after happened after I created the backup today and the same was confirmed at the Apple Store attendant

    Check the console app to see if there are any error messages. I had one app showing an issue (Pet Hotel) the error was (truncated):
    ERROR: Restore message response: 102 rename error: File name too long (63) at path "/var/mobile/Library/SafeHarbor/com.pocketgems.tappethotel/Container/Documents/ savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHis tory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGa meHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/sa vedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHisto ry/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGame History/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/save dGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory /savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHi story/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedG ameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/s avedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHist ory/savedGameHistory/1313349538-pocket_gems_crash_report.txt" (MBErrorDomain/102)
    I manually snyc'ed that particular app and then re-ran the restore and am now the proud owner of a working iphone. Not sure it is the same problem or app but looking in the console was the key!

  • When I set up my Macs, there were 2 sign names - 1 I created and the other was Ghost. The Apple store says that takes up 50% of my hard drive. Can I kill Ghost? Do I just delete it?

    When I set up my Macs, there were 2 sign-up names - 1 I created and the other was "Ghost". The Apple store says that takes up 50% of my hard drive. Can I kill "Ghost"? Do I just delete it?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hello Blisshous,
    It sounds like you have a user account named Ghost, that you want to delete all content from and remove from the computer. This article will help you do that named:
    OS X Lion: Delete a user account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3867
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Users & Groups or click Parental Controls.
    Click the lock icon to unlock it, and then type an administrator name and password.
    Select the user account you want to delete, and then click Delete below the account list.
    Do one of the following:
    Select “Save the home folder in a disk image” to save the folder as a disk image in /Users/Deleted Users/.
    Select “Don’t change the home folder” to leave the home folder in /Users/.
    Select “Delete the home folder” to remove it from the computer. If you want to prevent programs that read raw data from retrieving any files, select “Erase home folder securely.”
    Click OK.
    Keep in mind, if you remove the user and delete the data, without Time Machine you will not be able to restore any data from it in the future.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • I was told at the Apple store that Apple was now offering Pages, numbers and keynote free with the Mavericks download.  I noticed that I got the free when I downloaded the newest operating system on my iPad.  True?  And if so, how do you do it?

    I was told at the Apple Store when Mavericks was introduced that Pages, Numbers and Keynote would be offered at no charge with Mavericks.  When I downloaded Mavericks, I could not figure out how to download them without the charges.  When I downloaded the most recent OS to my iPad, I got a prompt to download them.  Can someone tell me how to download them without the charges?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It's not correct at all. It is true that Apple is offering Numbers, Keynote and Pages for free, but only for users who have purchased a Mac after October 1st, 2013, and for existing iWork '09 users. If you have not got iWork '09 and you purchased your Mac before October 1st, you need to pay for these apps.
    The new iWork version (Numbers, Keynote and Pages) is criticised by its lack of features. Instead, I recommend you to get LibreOffice or, if you need the most complete productivity suite, Office for Mac. Give LibreOffice a try first

  • I am having problems because two phone numbers are on the Apple ID, how do I choose one for imessage?

    I am having problems because two phone numbers are on the Apple ID, how do I choose one for imessage?

    Hello,
    In my opinion, this is the best procedure to use to update your BB OS:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
    However, the official download site:
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    shows your installed OS to be the current version from your carrier. Therefore, how your friends got a newer OS is a question to ask them and/or your carrier.
    You are, of course, free to use (via the above procedure) any carriers OS package...if another has the newer OS you want, you can use it. If you choose to do so, then simply insert, between steps 1 and 2 in the above procedure, the deletion, on your PC, of a file named VENDOR.XML
    Good luck.

  • HT201077 My Iphone 4s was replaced by the Apple store today. I previously backed everything up to Icloud. I'm downloading everything from Icloud onto the new phone. The pictures seem to have stalled on number 215 for the past hour or so.

    I had my I phone 4s replaced today at the Apple store. I previously backed it up on ICloud. I'm downloading from ICloud to the new phone. The pictures have been stuck on number  215 for an hour now. I've turned the phone off and on several times, but it won't progress in downloading the pictures. This happened the last time the phone was replaced and there was something I could do to get things moving, but I don't remember what?

    Then you'll have to decide when you think it's hung and unlikely to restart.  At that point, you'll probably have to reset it (by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release) and try restoring the backup again.
    The only "solution" I've seen posted on photos that fail to restore from a backup that seems to have worked for others, is the on posted by ezjules here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589.  If you restore the backup again, you could give it a try and see if it works for you.

  • Can apple unlock an iPhone 4 that was bought from the apple store?

    I bought an iPhone 4 last year from the apple store, my network provider cannot unlock it as I didn't get it through them. Hope someone can help.

    Only the carrier (not Apple) can initiate the unlocking process.  In the US, AT&T has not and will not unlock the iPhone for anyone for any reason. 
    If your network provider cannot or will not unlock your phone, then you phone cannot be unlocked.  If you need an unlocked phone, sell yours and buy a factory unlocked phone.

  • My CDMA Straight Talk iPhone 5 was defective and the Apple Store replaced it. But now I can't activate the new iPhone!

    I have been to the Apple Store twice now, and my original iPhone has been replaced three times since Tuesday. Straight Talk says they are getting an error on their end when trying to activate and add the phone to my existing account. They are insistent that the phone I have is not a CDMA iPhone and that I need to go back to the Apple Store again to get another phone. My iPhone said that it is activated on CDMA US network, and shows bars and the 3G symbol; and yet my carrier doesn't show up on the top bar where it should be. The iPhone I have now is in fact CDMA with the part number A1429. Has anyone experienced a similar issue when they had their Straight Talk iPhone replaced?

    My friend threw a Straight Talk SIM card in so now it is working on the GSM network. The service isn't as good but at least my phone works again.

  • HT5787 Hai i have receved a iphone 4s which i bought second hand. I dont know the apple id and password in it. please help me aolve thia problem. If i could find its email id i can contact him to remove this phone

    CContact where you purchased the phone. If they cannot get that removed then ask for a refund. It cannot be removed by anyone else, and Apple will not help. Without it, the phone is useless to you.
