There is no solution here and you should already have known this as you replied to a thread all about this a few up from your own post and this stated the postition quite clearly and the question was answered.
Why do you ask the same question again? The first answer is not going to change just because you don't like it!!

Bought an iphone 3GS and it wont restore, previous owner might have jailbroken it. how to fix it?

So I bought an iphone 3GS from a friend of mine and when i try to restore it, it wont work. Now i know that it could have been the computer or it could have been that he jailbroke it and never told me but i just want to get someone elses opinion/help before i go out and spend money to try and fix it.

There are a couple of things you can try. First, are you sure the computer you are using has never been used to jailbreak ANY iDevice (not just the phone with the problem). If you are sure of this do the following:
Reboot the computer
disable your antivirus and firewall
launch iTunes
Connect the USB end of the sync cable to a USB port on the computer itself, not a hub. Do not connect the other end yet
Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons on the phone until the screen goes blank - IMMEDIATELY release the SLEEP button, but continue holding the HOME button
Connect the dock cable to the phone while holding the HOME button
Wait for iTunes to recognize the phone, then release the HOME button
If the baseband firmware is not corrupted or the wrong version the phone will restore and remove the jailbreak. If not you haven't lost anything.

Hi, I bought an iPod 2 and I jailbreaked it before. I tried to download the iOS 5.0.1 from the Settings icon on my iPad 2 and then my iPad wouldn't turn on anymore and it kept on showing a screen with an arrow pointing to an iTunes symbol.

Hi, I bought an iPod 2 and I jailbreaked it before. I tried to download the iOS 5.0.1 from the Settings icon on my iPad 2 but then my iPad wouldn't turn on anymore and it kept on showing a screen with an arrow pointing to an iTunes symbol. I later learned that this was the recovery screen so I tried to put it out of the recovery mode by pressing the home button and power button simultaneously, but the screen kept on returning back to the recovery screen. I could not restore the iPad 2 on iTunes either, so I downloaded Tiny Umbrella 5.10.01 and tried to save the shsh. However, under the recovering devices section on the left side, my iPad did not appear and I only got a device titled ?18092..... I tried to save the shsh of this ?18902... anyways but this did not work. So, I clicked on the device and pressed the exit recovery but then my iPad2 screen went black with a white apple logo in the middle. This logo keeps on dimming and disappearing and even when I plug my iPad 2 to the computer, neither my iTunes nor the Tiny Umbrella notice it. I need urgent help!

At this point only a restore will fix your issue.

You can probably change the ID in the "iTunes and App stores" settings on the iPad....click on the wrong account ID , select sign out, then log in with your own ID, I have not done this but I think it works.....
but I would be more inclined to to the factory reset and start afresh.

I bought a used iPod and they were previously signed onto their iCloud. I have been wanting to change it but I have not been able to sign out of the previous account because I cannot sign out of "Find My iPod Touch". How am I able to log that off?

You can't. This is a security feature to prevent the resale of stolen iOS devices. You need to contact the seller and have him/her remove it from their iCloud account. Or return and get your money back. See: Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support

How to stop the spinning ball/pizza that is stalling repairs to project on imovie 09? on macosx10.5.8 using iomega and superspeed ext h.d. as storage for the events and projects archive of a wedding video that has had audio sync problems on all share form

How to stop the spinning ball/pizza that is stalling repairs to project on imovie 09? on macosx10.5.8 using iomega and superspeed ext h.d. as storage for the events and projects archive of a wedding video that has had audio sync problems on all share formats (iDVD, mp4, and last of all iTunes). The project label now carries signal with yellow triangled exclamation “i tunes out of date”.
To solve the sync problem I’m following advice and detaching sound from all of the 100 or so short clips. This operation has been stalled by the spinning ball. Shut down restart has not helped.
The Project is mounted from Iomega and superspeed ext hd connected to imovie09 on macosx 10.5.8.
What to do to resume repairs to the audio sync problem and so successfully share for youtube upload?

At home I have two wifi networks , I try to use one of them depending on their strength of signal, can I not save both their passwords on Apple TV , so that I can switch to one of the two wifi networks as required

At home I have two wifi networks , I try to use one of them depending on their strength of signal, can I not save both their passwords on Apple TV , so that I can switch to one of the two wifi networks as required
Also the passwords are long and cumbersome to type every time on the apple TV remote, what is the alternative if I cannot store them on the memory of the Apple TV

Is it possible that you are using the same password for the old O2 Study and newer O2 Apple Base Station networks?
If so, Keychain Access is storing the old information about the old network and may be associating it with your AirPort Extreme settings based on the BSSID that William has mentioned.
If that's the case, open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access and look for a listing with the old network name. Delete this entry. You may need to power down both the computer and the AirPort Extreme and restart them.

How do I change system settings so that users are not required to enter the mac's admin pw in order to join a wifi network?

how do I change system settings so that users are not required to enter the mac's admin pw in order to join a wifi network?
Right now my macbook pro requires an admin password before connecting to a new wifi network. In other words when a user that is not an admin tries to connect to a new wifi network the pop up displays indicating that it is locked and an admin password is required.
Is there a way to remove this restriction so that a non admin can connect to wifi without the mac's admin password.

You can enable / disable this option in System Preferences:
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab > Require administrator authorization to: Change networks

Login to the app store with YOUR ID. You can't use the app store without an Apple ID. If there are apps on the phone that were purchased with the original owners ID, you do NOT own them. The owner had no legal right to give them to you and they are permanently tied to the ID that was used to purchase them.
...i was also allowed to purchase an apple network id for this phone...
I have absolutely NO IDEA what you mean by that. You can not "purchase an apple network id".

I wonder if Apple took up the old mac book pro if we bought a new one, and if yes so how much?

I wonder if Apple took up the old mac book pro if we bought a new one, and if yes so how much? I have a 2009.

If the old MBP is working, try selling it. However, so that both you and the buyer can avoid sleepless nights, please review this Apple article:
What to do before selling or giving away your Mac
It omits one important thing if the computer came with a OS version older than Lion 10.7: be sure to include the original install disks. Otherwise the buyer may not be able to use the computer and come looking for his money.

I purchased the One to One when I bought my MacBook Pro, and I sent it in to Apple in order for the pictures and iTunes to be transfered. When I got it home no pictures or iTunes files were on it. What do I do?

If you already set up your Mac when you sent it, you should know that Migration Assistant creates a new user with the migrated data. Go to  > Log Out, and log in the new user
