I bought a ipod 5th gen 32gig off a road side peddler for $175. It was working when I bought it. I wonted to remove his music and stuff off of it so I restored it with itunes and now it wont let me activate it. I do not have his info and I do not know how to get in touch with him I have had third gen ipods and never had any problums like this before Help!!!

Either get the Apple ID and password from him to activate the iPod
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
or have him remote remove the device from his account
Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
or return it for a refund.
Otherwise you have an expensive, thin brick

Take your original proof of purchase from an Apple authorized retailer (or Apple Store) and the police report, make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and they should be able to help you.

Very doubtful, but if you have insurance, you would need to talk to them regarding replacement and any deductible you may have to pay.

My Mac Hard disk recently broke and was replaced. Now, although my computer is authorised in itunes store, it won't let me re-download purchased items (esp OSX Lion). How can I make computer re-download previous purchases?

Never mind - I didn't realize that I just needed to wait a while for the Cloud stuff to cycle through and load. Solved!

You can't get around it. It must be restore using iTunes on a computer. If you don't have access to one, make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store.

hi all ive just bought an ipod 5th generation off ebay and it has find my ipod on it is there anyway off me getting around it as the seller isnt replying

No; the activation lock is an anti-theft measure, and Apple won't help anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive) bypass it.
Ask eBay for a refund.

Pushed restore button with itunes and now it seems stuck and won't reinstall software

Restore button was accidentally pushed while trying to install itunes and now it appears to be stuck and won't reinstall software.
Please help

Try restoring. Make sure you have a backup first.

Updated as new installation 613 to 616 iphone 3GS, the 613 backup is nolonger listed, and all data gone. Anyway to restore 613 with data and update keeping data?

I chose new installation instead of update from 613 to 616. The new installation is missing all the data, and app data, notes, etc. The previous backup is nolonger listed, only new one for 616, anyway to restore 613 with data?

A backup was listed for earlier today, I did a backup before new installation. Once new installation, it did an auto backup of new installation, and only this one is listed.
This matches documentation, it says cannot restore to earlier version from itunes. Do I have to do a restore factory settings to see previous version backup, and restore this earlier version?

Purchased iphone and its still registered under previous owner and don't/can't find out the needed info. how can I activate with my info?

I purchased and Apple Iphone 4S 8g from a girl and it is still linked to her boyfriends Apple ID. He is in basic training and can not be contacted to find out the needed information to unhook the phone from his Find my Iphone. How can I go around needing that info to activate the phone under me so it can be used? I have already tried the Forgot passcode for your iphone and successfully restored the phone but it didnt fix the needing Apple ID of previos owner problem.

You need to send the person who set the lock these instructions and get that person to follow them. If neither the person who set the lock nor the device's original owner can be reached, it's useless to you.
Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the device's original owner. The activation lock is an anti-theft measure.

Computer with CS6 Died on one of two computers. I need to install and activate CS6 Web Premium on another computer. How can I activate it on new computer?

I have Adobe Creative Suite CS6 installed on two computers. One of the two computers experienced a catastrophic failure. The hard drive is damaged and the computer will not boot. So now I only have access to CS6 on one computer. I would like to install CS6 on a new computer so that I have two working computers each with an installation of CS6. How do I do this and activate both installations? I tried calling Adobe but the only number I have to troubleshoot problems is for Creative Cloud problems only. Any way to contact a live person at Adobe would be appreciated. Any other solutions would also be appreciated..
Thank you.
Chick

You can contact Adobe support thru chat and they can deal with inaccessible activations to deactivate them.

I have mistakenly told thunderbird to only open attachments in microsoft office and not to ask again but do not have microsoft office how can I undo it?

I do not want to have to purchase Microsoft office just to open these attachments, I just hit the wrong key. Please help!

Tools > Options > Attachments > Incoming tab
On the left you will see 'Content Type'
Look for the type of document
To the right it will say what action to use.
Currently it will say eg: 'Use microsoft Office Word'
click on the action to get a drop down selection.
You can choose another program in the list eg: OpenOffice writer
If it does not show in list, select 'Use Other' to see more options.
But you do need to have 'OpenOffice' installed in order to select it.
Remember to click on all the OK etc.
OpenOffice is a free software.
