HT4623 My iPhone 3 Gs was recently updated, but refuses to activate. Is there anything I can do to get it to activate?
This phone hasn't been jail broken or anything of that sort. How would I go about getting it to activate?
I am willing to wager that you did not purchase the phone new or did not purchase it in the country where you are now. Virtually ALL the activation problems occur with phones that were hacked to be used with poster's desired carrier and were not unlocked via authorized means by the original carrier.
Tell us in what country you purchased the phone, from what dealer, where you are now, and what carrier you're trying to use.

Hello. My iphone 4 got stuck on the itunes logo. I had to restore it and have lost everything. Is there anything I can do to get my photos back?
Not easily, the recovery mode erases the device, but you can see if any of these data recovery tools may work: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1689

I was using my notes earlier today and now for some reason they are all gone. How does this happen and is there anything I can do to get them back, the new ones also that haven't been synced.
See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

No. Return it and get your money back if still within the 30 day return window. All US iPhones are carrier locked and cannot be officially unlocked.

Hi Anybody
I seemed to have picked something on my MacBook Pro that hits me with a survey that involves winning a new iPhone 5 or iPad. Is there anything you can advise to get rid of whatever it is? Bear in mind I am a greenhorn with regard to computers!
Computer: 2.8 GHz intel core 2 Duo MacBook Pro computer with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
I did download clamXav software as someone on line recommended it which duly scanned my computer and located some infected files. However, I don't know how to select these files to delete them. Does anyone know an idiot's guide for this software?
Regards Art4Quit Safari.
Hold the shift key down and relaunch Safari.

How do I get my Canon T5i to work with Photoshop Elements 11? Do I need to update? I just purchased 11 just before 12 came out so am not that anxious to purchase the new one.
Hi Kathy,
If you do have the MAC App from the Apple store, you can always download the free Adobe DNG converter and use that to convert your CR2 file to DNG files. The DNG files can then be used by PSE 11.
DNG Converter 8.4
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5738
Alternatively, you could use the Canon software (DPP) to conver the raw files to TIF files and use them in PSE 11.

I haven't backed my phone up since June 2012, but my phone syncs for a few seconds whenever I would plug it into my computer. However, I have not manually synced it in a very long time. Is there any way to restore my new phone to what was synced the last time I plugged my phone into my computer (apps, music, contacts, pictures, messages, etc.)? Or is that something completely different. The guy at the Verizon store said I could, but the only options I'm getting for restoring the phone are from last year and before. All of the solutions I found on here are not working, and my old phone was stolen, so I can't back it up again. Any information will help! Thank you!
The info that was on the old iPhone can only be retreived either by restoring from iCloud/iTunes back up or syncing from iCloud. You need to chek these places and if nothing is there then I'm sorry that data is gone and you will only have the back ups you see.
But check iTunes back ups:
Windows
Edit>Preferences>devices
Mac
iTunes>Preferences>devices -
As I stated above, I purchased mmlp2 on iTunes but it didn't tell me that it was the censored version, I don't want this version and it's really annoying to listen to. Is there a way that I could exchange the clean version for the explicit one or even get my money back? Thanks
Explicit versions will have 'explicit' (or a red 'E') against them in the store, if it's not labelled then it will be clean.
Purchases are considered final but you can try 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support and see if they will credit or refund you so that you can buy the explicit version : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption -
Does anyone know if there's anything I can do to get my app data back? All levels completed on games have been erased, and I am unable to use in app purchases which I did purchase, such as the Mighty Eagle in Angry Birds. Thanks for your help
Go to the Device tab in iTunes' Preferences and se what the date iis of the backup(s). Apple only retaines the latest backup unless you restor from a backup and that one is also kept.

I have a mac book pro and am using Maverics. I saw that there was a system update so I updated and once I did I noticed a few weird things happening.
The tabsacross my browser didn't have little x's to close them I neede to right click to close the tab
My safari wouldn't quit. It was keeping me from shutting down my computer so I force quit then shutdown.
Now my computer is having trouble turning on. It stays at the white screen with the gray apple in the middle and the small circular loading bar. and flickers between that and black.
What is wrong? is there anything I can do to get it up and running?? PLEASE PLEASE help!Hi rennekamp3,
If your machine currentlty won't boot past a grey Apple screen, you may find the following article helpful:

Note: If you get to the portion on starting from the Install Disks or performing an Archive/Erase & Install, you'll notice this article has not yet been updated for the more recent operating systems. In that case, you may want to refer to the following article:

Since ITunes updated, most of my songs in the library have a "!" next to it and they are unable to be located. They are not in my recycle bin and I do not have a back-up. Is there anything I can do to get them back in my library? They are not purchased, so I can't get them back from what I have read.
Is the media still on the computer?
If it is, simply point iTunes to where the media is.
If it is not and the content was acquired from iTunes, simply download it again. -
I have an iPhone 4. I recently updated. It loaded all my iTunes music purchases but not the music I had on my computer. This music was on my iPhone before I updated. I have tried re-sycing but not getting anywhere. Says it cannot locate my music files but I see it on my lap top but cannot play it or get it on my iPhone. Can anyone walk me through this?

Thanks. I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data. Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again. -

Since i upgraded to iOS5 my phone is no longer recognized by my MacBook, so I cannot sync. What do I do? MacBook was recently updated to OSX Snow Leopard.
Start by downloading the latest version of iTunes and reinstalling it.

My phone was recently updated to 8.1. After the update, when text messages are sent when my phone is turned off, they no longer appear when I turn the phone on. Is there something in Settings that needs to be changed?
MetsFanGirl,
Thanks for verifying. Are you having issues receiving both iMessages and standard text messages when they are sent when the phone is turned off? Try this and test... http://vz.to/1qjiOs7

Can Final Cut Studio 2 make Blu-Ray DVDs
I have Final Cut Studio 2 on a mac book pro. I am not sure whether this topic belongs in compressor or dvd studio, but does the HD DVD mean it is HD DVD Format or a DVD that is high definition. So, in other words, can I do Blu-Ray also.

Using Time Machine with 2 hard drives in an iMac...
If I get the iMac configuration with an SSD and a 2TB HDD drive inside, will Time Machine easily back up both? I guess I'm wondering if Time Machine backs up more than one drive automatically. Thanks.
