Hi
I have a problem with your app store, always I want to update a new app, I want to know what Schiffer and novelty app! Most of my applications are in English, and they write what the improvement and renewal are written in English, and I do not speak the language! I try to copy the text, color (gray) is not successful, the variance can it, so we can copy the text and translate?
I thank you for your help, it can help to humanize

You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..

I received an email with a virus to my gmail account. I deleted it and reset my password and have had no problems since. Would my Mac have been affected by this or is it the case that it was just confined to my email account?

4.3.5 is the current version, so that is the version that iTunes will download, not 4.3.3
In terms of error 3194, have you got the latest version of iTunes on your computer ? - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error3194

HT1212 How can i reset my iphone 4s if i forgot my restriction passcode and apple id password and security question answer

Hello guys..
How can i reset my iphone 4s IF i forgot my restriction passcode, and apple id password AND security question answer?..
AND I also forgot the email that i used to create the apple id.. Thats why i cant reset my password using the "email authentication"...
PLEASE HELP.. Thanks... I cant use my iphone properly.. im stock with my OLD Apple id..

Its simple - if you honestly cannot remember a single piece of security information associated with the account, or even the name of the AppleID itself, the only possability of help is to call Apple and ask them if there is anything they can do. There is nothing anyone here or elsewhere can possible do to help you.
Apple offers several means of ensuring you can recover an account or AppleID, but if you cannot remember a single one of those security features, then only Apple can, if at all possible, help you and only then if you pick up a telephone and talk to them.
The strong odds are that even Apple will not help you. I know that with the two step verification option, if you cannot at least remember two of the three security features used with that system, they will tell you the account is simply lost to your for good. They can only be help responsible for helping you recover information up to a point - at some point, it all comes down to you remebering at least some of your own information.

You don't update itunes on your phone, you update itunes on your computer.
