    The work offline option can be found from Firefox button -> Web developer or from the menubar toolbar -> Work offline (Or at least thats what happens in Windows).
    Have you any other reason for being offline; router off, firefox not dialing up or whatever. Or is security software or a firewall blocking firefox, or a network connection, or firefox setting etc set wrongly.

    You cannot use that ID without a credit card. You did not create your account correctly. There is very specific way in which you must create your account if you do not want to use a credit card. If you don't have a credit card, you will have to start all over again.
    1. You will have to sign out of that ID before you can create a new one. Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID>Sign out.
    2. You cannot use the email address that you used for the first ID that you created. You will need to use another email address now
    3. You have to download a free app in order to start the new Apple ID process.
    Read this before proceeding.

  • My ipod touch was stolen and i need the serial number but i dont have the paper work on it or the box so how do i get it

    my ipod touch was stolen and i need the serial number but i dont have the paper work or the box, so how do i get the serial number?

    If you registered it, Apple can help you.  Give them a call.
    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  Something as small as an iPod should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • HT1539 I downloaded my digital copy of Star Trek Into Darkness, but it's HD and I can't play it. I didn't see anything about whether I wanted HD or Standard. How do I get this changed?

    Check the mute switch on the side above the volume rocker. If the red dot shows, the phone is muted. You'll still be able to play the ringtones to select one.
    I find that the switch can be thrown to "mute" by accident when I put my iPhone in my belt holster.

    i updated my ipad to os 7 but after updates it asking me to put my id but keep saying cannot unlock with this id

    This is Activation Lock. The iPad must be unlocked with the Apple ID used to originally set it up, or must first be removed from that accounts before you can activate it with your Apple ID. See here for information: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695

    To to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud ID. A new password will be sent to the associated email address.
    It this doesn't work, go to https://getsupport.apple.com ; click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.

  • Have one WiFi signal into the apartment for my Air, and another wifi signal for my 5c phone plan. Both from the same provider. Expensive. Is there a way to 'combine' WiFi signals so I pay only for one, but can get on the Internet with my Air?

    Have one WiFi signal into the apartment for my Air, and another wifi signal for my 5c phone plan. Both from the same provider. Expensive. Is there a way to 'combine' WiFi signals so I pay only for one, but can get on the Internet with my Air?

    Roamingnome, thanks for your response. Although I have been a Bell (Canada) customer for my WiFi signal for years, the 5c and its necessary mobility plan, is very recent. Some years ago, Bell supplied its own ‘router’ for my computer, and claimed that it was possible to get their WiFi signal only with the router they supplied. When I recently received the 5c, I wondered if the plan it requires, which is within the much wider, overall Bell zone, could be used somehow to get my Air online - some sort of tethering? - that allows me to give up the Air WiFi service and router all together, but still get the Air connected. Here in Canada, Bell Mobility and other Bell services are very separate. Any suggestions appreciated.

    Hi I am currently have a subscription to PS CC but I don't think I have the latest version.  I believe this because I don't get the new welcome screen and don't have new features like the structure and color setting in the content aware patch tool.  I have checked for updates and it tells me I have the current version.  I check in PS I have version 14.2.1.  I also have CS6 installed on my PC, could this be somehow be doing something or am I doing something wrong.  Would anyone have any suggestions.

    It's under "Find New Apps".  You have to scroll down to see it.

  • Hi kids, my first day using apple, anyway, is a Power Book 4.1 , bought from someone else,and i dont have the password for the key chain, and no chances of getting it, the screen, for the password keeps on coming up, any ideas?

    my  first day using apple, i love it, is a power 4.1, older, but is ok to learn it, however, i bought it from someone , and i was not
    given the password for key chain, so, this screen keeps on coming up, and i dont know the password, so i keep on canceling out
    of it, ..... any ideas on how to fix this problem, is the key chain, that you can access through utilities, but i dont have the old password, that is my first
    problem
    my second problem is that the key board, closer to the screen, is coming out, as it needs to be put in place, you would imagine you can
    put it back in place, but, not sure i should mess with it, any input would be greatly appreciated it
    thank you
    lisa

    Hi, Lisa. Now I see what you're desperate about.
    Does it allow you to go ahead and use the iBook after you cancel the Keychain login? If so, it's not a big deal.
    Are you able to go to System Preferences > Accounts and create a new account for yourself? That should eliminate Keychain password problems.
    Check out these instructions on replacing the keyboard:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=111917
    Maybe they will help you get it seated better. It's considered a customer-installable part, so it should be easy enough for you to handle without worrying about goofing anything up.
    What CDs (if any) came with the iBook?
    Which version of the operating system is it running?
    How big is the hard drive and how much space remains available on it? If it's the original hard drive, it's getting very old and could fail at any time. The identifier "PowerBook 4,1" tells me that the iBook is ten years old, and is either a 500 or 600 MHz PowerPC G3 (Dual USB) iBook. As such, you can't expect a whole lot from it.
    The optical drive on this iBook could be a CD-ROM (reads CDs only), CD-RW (reads and writes CDs; no DVD capability), DVD (reads CDs and DVDs), or Combo (reads and writes CDs; reads DVDs) drive.
    Good luck with it.

    In your case your only solution is to restore it ( see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 ) and you may need to force it into restore mode to do that.  This will wipe everything off it and reset it as new, without the passcode.  You can then redownload purchased content, buy unless you have a sync'd copy of your contacts and photo's they will be gone.

  • HT3180 My Apple Tv says to plug it into iTunes, but i dont have the cord

    My Apple Tv says to plug it into iTunes, but i dont have the cord to plug it into my computer is their any other way?

    You need to restore it. If it doesn't work on our current computer, try borrowing someone else's. If your iPhone is jailbroken then you are pretty much screwed. Also, you should try putting it in DFU, which would restore it thoroughly. Follow these steps:
    Plug your device into your computer
    Turn off the device by holding the Sleep/Wake or Power button and swiping it off
    Hold the power button for 3 seconds
    Begin holding the Home button without releasing the Sleep/Power button for 10 seconds
    Release the power button and continue holding the home button until you get a popup from iTunes that your device is recognized as being in recovery mode.
