I just purchased the I 4S and at least once a day, it will say Invalid Sim, what would cause this and how do I fix it?
Then, if there's any data on the drive that you want to keep, you have to back up before you do anything else -- assuming it's still possible.
Basically you have three options:
1. Install a copy of the Mac OS on an external hard drive, boot from it, and copy the data from the internal drive.
2. Start the problem Mac in FireWire target mode (command-T at startup) and connect it to a working Mac with a FireWire cable. The internal drive will mount as a FireWire device.
3. Remove the internal drive and mount in an external enclosure on another Mac.
Once you've backed up, follow the sequence in the support article linked below. The article is somewhat outdated. Where it refers to booting from an installation disc, you should boot from your recovery partition (if running Lion) by holding down the key combination command-R at the chime.

I just purchased the hunger games on blu-ray with digital copy. when I try to download the HD digital copy it gets to about 80% compete then stops with a download error (-50). What is that how do I fix?
Perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

my ichat won't accept my password. I know the Password is correct, it works on my macbook. Both systems are OS X 10.7.1, but the computer I am having trouble with is a newly purchase MacMini
In the Finder use the Go Menu > Go to FOlder and type in ~/Library/keychains
Click the login.keychain once to Highlight and then from the Finder's File Menu do a Get Info (CMD and I Keys together)
In the Info Panel go to the Bottom and see if you Own the File
(Open the Padlock and then the cogwheel icon and your shortname should be there greyed Out about making you the Owner).
In the list above that you should be listed with Read and Write permissions.
If you don't have Read and Write permissions you will not store any new password.

Several of us have a iPhone 6plus and are having trouble with hearing and speaking at the same time when using the phone. ? The speakers seem to be too far apart? Are others having this issue? Solutions?
Not having the problem, don't personally know anyone who is.

just bought a new iphone 4s 16gb my sim worked correctly after puting and old profile on the phone so I could get all the info now it says invalid sim what can I do o fix this?
I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone. Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.

My MacBook Pro has been having difficulties at startup. It sometimes locks and doesn't get past the white screen. It has also locked up several times and gotten a green stripes across the entire screen. What is causing this and how do I fix it?
You don't, take it to Apple for repair.
This might interest you if it's too old to fix.

I'm working with Illustrator CS5 and am having trouble with basic graphics textures.
I'm working with Illustrator CS5 and am having trouble with basic graphics textures. The illustrator drawings look fine with the pattern fills and when I bring the drawing into quark 9.1 they are still fine. When I print the quark file to lo res pdf drawing is still fine, but when I print to hi res pdf (press quality for print) the patterns disappear. I cannot figure out what the problem is.
just a note. Other textures and artistic fills work fine. It seems to be just the basic ones. I'm wondering if for some reason they may not be saved completely in my libraries?Its just a drawing in black and white with some basic graphic texture to show “dirt” The pattern consists of a bunch of small lines. I save the file as an eps. And bring it into quark. When I print from quark I say print to pdf as press quality. I don’t think the problem has to do with acrobat because I’ve never encountered these problems before CS5. These drawings have been around for years and all of a sudden they don’t work.
Does this help?

My wife and I share apple id but have our own phones, and now having trouble with imessage
My wife and I share apple id but have our own phones, and now having trouble with imessage. Sharing calenders, apps, music, contacts, etc...all great. But when we imessage each other. Our phones get confused and either not deliver message, or send it to and from itself.
Go to Settings > Facetime and you will see "You can be reached for video calls at:"
This should list your phone number (iPhone) and your email address (probably the gmail one).
And then an option for "Add another email..."
Choose that and enter your @me.com account and it'll send a verification email.
Same for iMessage: Settings > Messages > "Receive at" > Add Another Email
So you can be called by facetime and use iMessage through multiple email accounts yes. -

I am having trouble with my iPod 5th gen after iOS update. It's in recovery mode and iTunes keeps timing out when I try to restore it. What should I do??? If possible, I would also like to keep all of my data.
Maybe this will help:
Troubleshooting
As with all clickwheel iPods, you can reset this iPod by first toggling the hold switch on and off and then simultaneously pressing the select (center) and menu buttons for approximately 5-10 seconds. This is a common fix should your iPod behave unexpectedly or lock up. Once reset, the iPod should display an Apple logo for a few seconds before showing the main menu. This procedure is similar to rebooting a computer and damages none of your music or data. -
I have 64-bit Vista on an HP laptop, and am having trouble with P4
I have 64-bit Vista on an HP laptop, and am having trouble with P4. When I go to the "Compatibility" tab in for the P4 .exe file, 32-bit Vista does not show up as a compatibility option. The latest version shown is XP with SP2. Am I missing something? Is there a patch or download that updates P4?(The problem I'm having is stuttering and stopping in the imported avi2 files I have downloaded from my Panasonic digital camcorder and converted from avi to avi2 using DVDate. Also, I get stuttering with digital photos - jpg files - that I want to insert in the movie with added narration.)

It gets a little complicated. This is a simplification, but I hope this
helps to visualize what's happening.
The 32 bit and 64 bit environments are separated from each other.
There are separate program files directories, separate shared dll library
directories, and even separate registry entries. You can't mix 32 and
64 bit modules, and some applications, like Internet Explorer, install
both a 32 bit and a 64 bit version on the same computer. (IE does that
so it can process web pages that use 32 bit executable controls).
Vista 64 has 32 bit emulation built-in using a subsystem called Windows
on Windows 64 or WOW64 for short. WOW64 intercepts 32 bit
application calls to the operating system and handles the 32 to 64 bit
conversions and the redirection of the file and registry locations.
The program files themselves contain flags that indicate whether they
are 32 bit and whether the file uses the 64 bit version of the file
structure.
If the program is marked 32 bit, it will run in 32 bit using WOW64.
Programs are generally installed by an installer program which places
the application files in the proper locations and writes the registry
entries and any other setup tasks that are needed. To install a 64
bit program, a 64 bit installer is needed. For 32 bit installers, the files
and registry entries are redirected to the 32 bit locations. -

I recently joined Pinterest and am having trouble with it on Firefox. I am able to load the website but unable to repin and pin my own items. The site works slowly but fine on IE. Any ideas?
You mean an external SSD? What kind of connection, that will be the bottleneck. Replacing the internal might be ok for a while till you start to fill it up, then the whole system will slow down.
