I changed the cracked screen on my 3gs, and screen works but it will not boot up and go past the Apple screen.

I tried recovery at least three times, and it says that it can not complete the activation at this time.  I did take my Sim card out and try as well, because I had to use it in my old phone.  I reopened the phone and double checked that everything was plugged back in from the screen change.  What went wrong???  I restored it before and everything worked fine.  It's not hacked or jailbroke, so I don't know what's going on????  Please help!

Yes, i did.  I bought a screen repair kit and it was very simple to change.  it works, but its stuck in recovery mode...

  • Ever since I installed MAVERICK, nothing now works, Flash Player won't run, printer works but scanner will not and the computer runs so slow.  Any help anywhere?

    wqn02h, first thing I would do is use Disk utility to repair permissions. Once this is done. Make sure you have the latest versions of the software you use. Also, check the manufacter of your printer/scanner for updated software. If they don't have updated software there are 3rd party alternatives that will work.

  • I have a 1st generaltion apple tv which was recently changed from HDMI to component cables to connect to TV; now it will not remember my server password or my apple ID information which has to be re-entered everytime I use apple tv; how can I fix this

    I have a first generation apple TV. recently I have rto change from HDMI input to my TV to a component imput. Now my apple tv will not rememebr my sertver password or apple ID which I have to re-enter everytime I use Apple tv which is annoying; how can I fix this?

    Changing the video connection has nothing to do with the passwords.

  • Booting my imac from an external firewire drive suddenly stopped working. Disk still mounts but it will not boot the machine!

    I took my MacBook Pro in for repairs and erased the drive for safety AFTER having copied the entire contents to an external firewire 800 drive using SuperDuper!
    The copy process made the disk bootable and I was able to boot up my iMac and run it just as if I were working on my MacBook Pro. After a couple of times working this way, the iMac stopped booting from my drive.
    The drive shows up when starting up by pressing the option key but then, after a long time, the iMac shows a circle/slash symbol as if it can't find the system files.
    If I restart without pressing the option key, the disk mounts on the desktop and I can use it as an external drive just fine!  I tried selecting it in System Preferences as the startup disk, but the same thing happens, blank grey screen with the circle/slash.
    Since this happened with a Seagat drive - a brand that has failed me in the past many times - I thought it was a disk problem. I had backed up my MacBook pro contents to another Toshiba drive, and booted from there perfectly well for a couple of times...
    Until the same thing happened! Thank God I didn't trash the Seagate although it makes very faint clicking noises that will keep me far away from using it again anyway... but that's another story!
    iMac runs 10.5.8, the boot disk (and my MacBook) runs on 10.6.8 if that makes any difference... And now I'm scared that when I copy back to my MacBook Pro it might not boot up at all!!!
    What gives???

    You need to reinstall Snow Leopard onto the external drive:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

  • Been tying to open a webpage that I use all the time, others tell me it is working but Firefox will not open it.

    I use a webpage while playing Travian and now I can not get it to open. The page is "http://travian.ws/analyser.pl?s=com2" . When I tried to open it earlier today a security window popped up and I thought that I clicked on the appropriate button so it would open but it never did and still it will not load. Have talked to others via Skype that tell me the page opens and works for them, still the page will not load. Have reloaded 'Firefox' and still unable to load the page.
    Open to any suggestions.

  • I have Elements 12 on my pc.  I installed elements 13 but it will not boot up. Both products are registered with Adobe.When I sign in to 13 and then accept the software agreement it does not load.  Do I need to uninstall Elements 12?

    Pertaining to my question above.....I have uninstalled Elements 13 and then re-installed but I have the same problem as stated above.  Any ideas on how to solve my problem?  Elements 12 boots up just fine.

    cactisken
    You should not have to uninstall Premiere Elements 12/12.1 in order to install and run Premiere Elements 13 on the same computer unless your computer is overloaded and the computer resources are compromised. Just use one program at a time.
    Can you still use 12/12.1 on this same computer that will not let you use 13?
    What specific Window operating system are you using?
    Let us go through the usual drill...
    1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    2. Are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
    3. Did you install the program with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    4. Disable the SLCache Folder found in Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit
    Local Disk C
    Program Files (x86)
    Common Files
    Adobe
    and in the Adobe Folder should be the SL Cache Folder that you delete or disable by renaming the Folder
    from SLCache to SLCacheOLD.
    5. Are you running the program as Administrator and is the latest version of QuickTime installed on the same
    computer as Premiere Elements 13?
    Let us start here and then decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • NetBoot appears in startup disks but clients will not boot to the images

    I recently upgraded a 10.6.8 server to 10.7.4 server. I did a clean update but saved all the needed information off of it.
    The problem I am having is with Netboot. I have the service enabled and the images are in place again. These are the same images from the old server, so I know they worked at one point in time.
    Now I can goto the Startup Disk option and see the disks there, but when I try to Netboot I just get the folder with the question mark.
    This is in a school so we do have multiple subnets, however the IP address on the server remained the same, so the helper addresses are still working.
    I have tried to create a new netboot image, but I am new to all of this and it didn't work (I blame me not knowing how to make one, so yeah).
    I am currently trying to use Deployment Studio (as was suggested here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3962094?start=0&tstart=0), but I really think there is something wrong with my set up of the server and not the images.
    Any help is greatly apprecaited.
    Thank you,

  • HT201401 I just restored my iPhone and it worked, but it will not let me go any further (iTunes telling me "The iPhone you have connected may be damaged and cannot be activated") so I'm trying to find out how to get past this... Why is it "damaged"?

    It all started when one day all of a sudden the heat was bad here, and I sat in the car with the AC on and my phone on the dash board, charging. Next thing that happened was that when I got home I let my son play with it (which he always takes good care of it, watching youtube videos) and then later on that evening when I payed attention to the back of it, it looked super swollen. You could see where tears in the white backing of my iPhone were from whatever had caused this. I thought it was from the heat, just expanding the case. Well, it had obviously got too hot in the sun on the dashboard and over a few hours had almost got to the point of exploding. I did not know that just a little bit of heat from the sun could do that, so anyways.
    I ordered a new battery online and replaced that, in the process loosing two screws, the two at the bottom which hold the LED touch screen in place. Although it doesn't move without the screws, I do need to replace those also. Everything works fine. Buttons, touch screen, I just think there might be a small problem with the mother board, from the battery swelling and causing it to bend, or even heating the metal on it. That would suck, total bummer.. Anyways, anyone with a solution or even a bit of advice, or just a suggestion please feel free to help. I have taken it apart one last time after I restored it, and cleaned it very little with alcohol, thinking that might be a problem, but still nothing yet...
    I hope I get this phone working again, not use for a phone, but for games, music, and videos. Thank anyone for your help! It's greatly appreciated!

    If things seem to be going haywire with your phone, it seems that it MAY be a software issue.
    Now, that being said, that does not necessarily mean that it is a virus. Software issues do happen sometimes. It is probably just coincidence.
    What you need to do is restore the device using iTunes. This will fix any software issues. After you have done this, you can restore from an iCloud backup.
    iCloud does not back up the actual software, so no, the "virus" would not have gotten into the backups.
    The link below provides steps on restoring your device using iTunes as well as how to restore from an iCloud backup.

    Hi
    This may be a disply issue try to connect a external monitor to your notebook and see if you get the display there.
    You can connect to an external monitor via a VGA or HDMI connection.  The usual process to transfer the video output to an external source is to hold down the fn key and press f4.  Use the arrow keys to select 'Projector Only' and hit enter.

  • W520 will not boot when docked; blue screen

    W520 fails to boot 100% of the time when docked. Blue screen shows SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, STOP x0000003B for nvlddmkm.sys
    nvlddmkm.sys is the NVIDIA driver, which is version 8.17.12.9620, the latest shown on the NVIDIA and Lenovo websites. BIOS is also the latest.
    Systems boots fine if I remove it from the dock, but it will not boot when docked.
    Windows 7 PRO SP1
    2 external monitors via DVI
    Any suggestions?

    Boot with Option held down. After the cursor changes to an arrow, Command-. (Command Period) should open and close the optical drive. After you insert the disc, click the curved arrow to have it re-scan the discs for boot volumes. Then select the optical drive and click the straight right-pointing arrow to start.
    Try it with the Apple Hardware Test disc first and run Extended Tests.

  • When I turn on my MacBook Pro will not boot up but it will have the loading gear revolving and the apple symbol is crossed out

    After installing ProTools 10 and I have a drivers I tried to restart my MacBook Pro, but it will not boot up. It was just working fine and I restarted it because I ran a java upgrade and it will not boot. I tried to cold boot it, but it still allows me to login in pass the encryption login the the loading symbol keeps revolving and doesn't stop.

    If you've activated FileVault, only the users that were authorized to unlock the startup volume will appear in the pre-startup authentication dialog. Once the system has started up, all users will appear in the login dialog.
    To authorize more users after the volume has been encrypted, select the FileVault tab in the Security & Privacy  preference pane. Click the lock icon in the lower left corner and authenticate to unlock the settings, if necessary. Click Enable Users...
    You should only enable users whom you trust implicitly with all data on the system, not just their own data.
