What does the message say, exactly?
Try this:
From the Finder's Go menu, choose Computer:
Double-click your hard disk icon. It is usually named "Macintosh HD":
Look for this folder:
If it appears in that window, drag it to the Trash.

My ipad is disabled and says connect to itunes. I dont know the passcode and I dont have access to a computer , can I restore it without connecting to itunes

My ipad is disabled, I dont know the passcode and I dont have a computer to connect to itunes... is there anyway of reactivating ipad without connecting to itunes?

Sorry but no. You will need to get access to a computer with iTunes somewhere to restore the iPad. You can get help with this at an Apple Store if you have them in your area. Note that if you haven't backed up your iPad to iCloud, you'll lose all your data. Apps and other purchases from the iTunes Store can probably be re-downloaded.

Doesn't matter. That store is likely selling illegit iphones, brought oin from somewhere else.
The fact remains the UAE government does not allow Facetime on iphones legitimately sold there.

Disk Utility didn't find any problems.

I have a MacBook running OS 10.9 with 4GB of memory free. Can I install Yosemite?

I have a MacBook running OS 10.9 with 4GB of memory free. Can I install Yosemite?

Other things being equal, 4GB is enough to check your email and run Yosemite. If your Mac runs well with Mavericks it should run well with Yosemite.
You probably won't be happy with the performance of your Mac with Yosemite if you are planning on doing other things that are more demanding on your hardware, like Photoshop or editing video, or using virtualization software. Unless you like seeing the spinning beachball.
Other factors are important too, like your HD (SSD vs. conventional drive), how full your HD is, how fast your processor is, and if you have some types of "crapware" on your Mac, for example, CleanMyMac or MacKeeper, or other similar dubious "utilities". Or antivirus software. But that is a whole discussion in itself.
You can easily test drive Yosemite in one of two ways:
1. Make a backup of your current installation, like with Time Machine. Then if you don't like Yosemite you can restore from your backup.
2. Make a test partition on your hard drive and install Yosemite there.

HT4993 I cant believe that in the app store they dont have an app that locks messages and other apps without locking the whole phone wish they had like android has :(

Its really sad I love my iphone 5 a lot. Used to be an android user but wanted an iphone im happy but I just cant believe that it does not keep my messages private without locking my whole phone that really ***** big turn off!

If the app is no longer in the store then you won't be able to redownload it, and if you haven't got a copy of it anywhere (you don't have another iOS device which has it on ?), and if you haven't got a backup of the iPad on your computer's iTunes (if you haven't got a backup then you won't have the app's content), then you won't be able to get it and your passwords back.

If your device has been jailbroken during the warranty, Apple will not service it.
Maybe you missed that in this article:
Inability to apply future software updates: Some unauthorized modifications have caused damage to iOS that is not repairable. This can result in the hacked iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch becoming permanently inoperable when a future Apple-supplied iOS update is installed.
Apple strongly cautions against installing any software that hacks iOS. It is also important to note that unauthorized modification of iOS is a violation of the iOS end-user software license agreement and because of this, Apple may deny service for an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that has installed any unauthorized software.

My imac will not start - it is hunged up, when I turn it on I see the apple and the little wheel go around and around and nothing happens - what can I do ???

Hello - can anybody help me - my Imac will not start - When I try to start it I just get to see the apple and the wheel that goes around and around HELP !!

Restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. How you do this is when you hear the startup tone hold down the Shift Key until you see the progress bar appear. Let it fully boot, then open System Preferences - Startup Disk and ensure your internal HD is selected and then click Restart to test. If you still don't have luck you should run Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode, you may need to run the test 2-3 times to report any errors. To run AHT you will need teh ORIGINAL Install Discs that shipped with the computer. Instructions for AHT are in:

How have you managed to get apps on your phone that are tied to a different and unknown AppleID?
If these apps were not purchased by you, having them is effectively software piracy and you should purchase them using your own AppleID if you want to keep hem.

If you didn't set up Find My iPhone in the iCloud settings, then you can't. Notify the police and change the password to your Apple ID and any other online services you used from that iPhone, just as a precaution.
