I found another forum that had a solution. Instead of using the recovery discs that came with the mac, use snow leopard to perform the actions that I needed to do. It worked. No input/output error and the software recognized the 1Tb hard drive.

You are saying the phone is locked, but then you are saying there is no provider. The two situations cannot peacefully coexist. Contact Apple and they can tell you if the phone is locked and if locked to which provider the phone is locked. People on this board are not Apple employees and cannot get you that information.

My gps is not working. I cannot use turn-by-turn navigation in google maps. I downloaded a GPS test app and it showed my phone is not locking on any satellites. How can I correct this?

We certainly want to make sure you get the most out of the GPS, wplaxico! Was this tested primarily outdoors? When did this begin? Any other recent apps of updates installed when this started?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

If you do not have the password, you can only do a restore-resetting the iPad to factory condition.

Alternatively, you can download the free iConvert App from the App Store, it can convert into .mp4 which you could then add to your iTunes library and sync to iPhone/iPad/iPod :)

My laptop thinks there are headphones in at all times, such that the speakers won't work, how do I fix this?

My laptop thinks there are headphones in at all times, such that the speakers won't work, how do I fix this?

Thanks but that did not work. Details: when I don't have headphones plugged in, the volume won't go up or down and it also displays a circle with a line through it meaning it's not working. When I go to settings and look at my audio output, it only says headphones, even if no headphones are plugged in. I have tried inserting and removing headphones many times, also tried poking the inside of the headphone jack with a stripped Q-tip, and nothing works. Something inside the jack that senses headphones is not sensing the lack of headphones.

Did you purchase this product direct from Apple online, in an Apple Store, or through a third-party authorized reseller? Or did you buy it from an original owner whose Applecare plan was supposed to be transitioned to a new owner, by them?
Do you have an original shipping carton the unit arrived in?
If the product was a retail 'open carton' purchase and no
back-track is possible, contact the reseller.
And if the computer had seen a major service with logic
board replaced, etc, it may have other issues with serial
number vs one they may have assigned it. Usually a
new logic board may have the SN flashed or if a unit
was determined to be a reman, a new # assigned. But
that would appear in System Profiler, if officially reman.
If you registered a product anywhere with Apple, it would show on a web page along with its serial numbers, going back several years, at this page after you log in there.
https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action
A blue text with triangle See all products and services opens an Apple ID
sign-in window, then the page changes to show your items & info about them.
If you run the serial number through online Lookup, what appears?
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
Not sure if this helps, 'your product' should appear - if registered.
Good luck & happy computing!

I've put in the serial number on the apple website, and it says that the product hasn't been "activated". What does this mean?

Does this mean that the warranty still stands as new?

I had the same problem, though mine was with an iPhone 5. I phoned the Apple folks and they told me they had the record of my purchase, and indeed my purchase date had been recorded. It took a couple of weeks, but the data eventually showed up correctly online.

I bought a redeem card and it wont work is says that the gift certificate or prepaid card you entered has not been properly activated

You will need to contact the iTunes Store.
