    If a Restore of iPhone with iTunes on computer does not get it working correctly. Then it is hardware problem. Apple with handle this with Replacement iPhone 4S exactly same as yours for $199. If there is any hope at fixing this otherwise, first step would be to replace the front (facetime camera) first. See if both cameras function after this. If not, if there is any fix possible it will be very difficult. Replacement iPhone may be best plan.

    How big is your hard drive, and how much space is used/free?
    To find out, click once on the hard drive icon on your desktop to highlight it (it will be called Macintosh HD unless you renamed it). Click the command and I keys on your keyboard to open the information window. In "General", you will see Capacity and Available. What are those figures?
    If you have a little bit of space left, I recommend that you install Omnidisksweeper (it's free) to tell you what folders are using up the most room.
    Be careful when you transfer files - only move files that you know are yours. Don't move or delete any system files unless you're specifically recommended to do so (some files are safe to delete; some are not).

  • I am in password/Apple ID ****! The Apple ID that is showing up on my iPod is one I can't find the password for. I need to fix this since I reset the iPod and can't get my apps back until I can get it to accept a password. What can I do to?

    My iPod touch has an Apple ID that I haven't used for a while. It won't accept the password I had for it, and won't accept a new one either. I got a new one following the instructions, and it won't accept the new one either. I need to get this fixed and I'm getting nowhere! Please help.

  • I can't use the scroll feature built into my touchpad on my laptop, it works with everything else, including a pdf within firefox and the old 3.6 version of firefox but not in the new one. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    The touchpad has a built in feature where when i move my finger over the far right, it scrolls instead of using the mouse. It has been faultless with everything before now, but doesnt work on webpages in Firefox 4, but does in pdfs open within firefox. I can only assume therefore it is the browsers problem not mine. The touchpad is a synaptics pointing device. If this is a browser problem then looks like firefox 4 wont be for me :(

    Apparently it's related to the Firefox plug in.
    This isn't exactly a solution but more of a way to avoid opening PDFs with Firefox's plug in.
    1. Highlight "Tools" from the Menu Bar in the top left of the screen (or click "Options" if using the Firefox Compact Menu)
    2. Select to "Options
    3. Select "Applications"
    4. Look for "Adobe Acrobat Document" under Content Type and to the right under Action select "Use Adobe Reader (default)" instead of the using Adobe Acrobat in Firefox
    5. Open a test PDF. It should open in it's own window now.
    Again, not a complete solution but something that'll at least let you scroll with PDFs open.

  • I just bought the a iPod 5th generation and I can't delete my email it keeps down loading back on my inbox over and over it's very annoying what can I do to fix the problem I've reset my mail and it still keeps down loading over and over what can I do?

    I just bought the 5th generation iPod my email keeps downloading over and over when I go to delete my email what can I do I've even reset my email and it still keeps doing the same thing it's annoying what else can I do to fix the problem?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    -Delete the account from the iPod and reenter the settings. I do not know what you mean by "reset my email ".
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             

  • You can only authorize this computer with an Adobe id that hasn't been previously used to authorize any other computer or mobile device

    When I try to download a library book on my Kobo reader, I keep getting this message. First it tells me to change the computer's authorization to be associated with an Adobe ID. When I click on authorize after logging in, the message keeps telling my "you can only authorize this computer with an Adobe ID that hasn't been previously used to authorize any other computer or mobile device. I have no idea what this means. Help!

    Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
    Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help, and indeed installation can even trigger this state.
    Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
    A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
    Another is  "E_AUTH_NOT_READY"
    This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
    Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.
    In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped some people.  Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash.

  • When I try to erase my authorization of my computer it keeps saying, "unable to erase authorization. Try again after sometime"

    .When I try to erase my authorization of my computer it keeps saying, ""unable to erase authorization. Try again after sometime"

    Ok. I was able to resolve this issue.  On my mac, it was due to two things. I'm using two macintoshes.  One for home and one for work.  Both are setup for handoff.  1) make sure the library folder is not invisible.  There must be more than one occurrence of the activate.dat file to delete.  2) Once I found it on my work mac and deleted it, it actually removed authorization from both macs!  I can't explain how this happened, but it must be due to the handoff settings.  So, then I re-authorized the original macintosh first and made sure my books could be read with no errors, then I authorized the work mac (before any books were imported to the library).  Both macs were authorized, and the first mac was working fine.  Then I imported the books into my work mac and everything is working properly on both macs.

  • I keep getting "Unable to connect" for my firefox. It was working yesterday and I turned my computer off. I can get to the web using internet explorer 9. I don't know why my firefox is not working. Everything else is working. HELP....

    I keep getting "Unable to connect" for my firefox. It was working yesterday and I turned my computer off. I can get to the web using internet explorer 9. I don't know why my firefox is not working. Everything else is working.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • I had my computer repaired, and when I got it back I had to reinstall iTunes. Now iTunes won't authorize this computer because it says we already have 5 devices authorized, but this is the same computer. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    Deauthorizing won't delete anything, and all your purchased content is safe.  You will just have to reauthorize any of the other computers that get deauthorized along with your computers old machine id.
    To get your purchased content back on that computer, just use iTunes to redownload it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US).  Of course, music you ripped from CD or got from another source you'll need to copy those files back over.

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
