I'm in desperate need of help, I'm in desperate need of help

I bought an iphone from my friend. I restored the phone on itunes, but i can't use because i found out it was stolen. In order to use the phone, I need the Original owner's Apple password. I don't know the owner, obviously, so what can i do with the phone? Is there something Apple can do to allow me to use the phone?

No. The phone has Activation Lock enabled, which is a new antitheft feature in iOS 7. ONLY the rightful owner can use the phone or release the Activation Lock. So the best thing to do is to turn the stolen property in to the police.

  • I am desperate and seriously need some help - iPhone tracking.

    I’m really hoping one of you can help me.
    Long story short – my daughter aged 6 was taken from me last week because my violent rapist ex husband told Children’s Services that I tried to drive her off a cliff and am a serious suicide risk, I abuse her, I neglect her, I’m an alcoholic, anorexic, complete psycho nutjob etc etc, really nasty stuff. I am desperately trying to get her back. I need to prove I was not at this cliff & in fact have never been there, nor have I ever been stalking his house as he claims (& was awarded a 500m exclusion zone from his house so I can’t get my daughter if I need to as well as a ban on any telephone or postal contact between my daughter & I). I can prove my phone has been used every day for the last 2 years with my bills and if I can prove that in that time I have never been to this cliff, among a million other things I need to try & prove by Wednesday, I have a fighting chance of getting her back. I was allowed supervised visitation today & she’s scared & confused, massively regressed, looking physically neglected, she was withdrawn & was trying to tell me something but being supervised she couldn’t & got told off for whispering. The police are powerless in this & Children’s Services believe him over me, unless I can disprove his claims. Apparently it’s my job to prove their allegations are false rather than them having to prove they’re true!
    Anyway, I’m trying to do the tracking thing on my iPhone 4, IOS 5.1.1.
    I have got so far but I am totally stuck now. Nothing I do seems to work & to be honest half of the instructions may as well be in Swahili to me! It’s all totally over my head & I am not techy enough to understand it, I’m literally Googling every other word to try to understand.
    Please please please can you help me???
    Though I would never normally do it with complete strangers is there any way anyone would be willing to do a remote access thing on my laptop to get the proof I need? Can anyone give me an idiots guide to it? I’m not on Skype or chat or anything but I will get on to it if it helps? Can I ring someone & talk me through it? Can anyone please do anything at all to help my daughter & I??
    I’ve been on http://petewarden.github.com/iPhoneTracker/ & downloaded the app. I’ve also downloaded all the suggested programmes on http://www.26horas.com/apple-device-tracker/ as well as HDXHex thingy, I follow the instructions as far as I can but then I keep getting errors about SQLite3 databases & modules not being found... I have no idea what any of this means but I have heard this technology is no longer valid? Apple has changed it or something? Apparently people whining about big brother & invasion of privacy has made apple change everything & clam up about tracking, but apparently there is still a way, just no one seems to know how!
    Please can you help me? Please, if there is any way you can help me I would owe mine and my daughter’s lives to you. I am desperate and literally on my knees begging you to help me, please. I’ll pay for your time, but please can you help me?

    #1. The iPhone "tracker" you're referring to has already been completely debunked. That is NOT what the data was. In addition, Apple update that "fixed" the percieved problem, so the data is no longer accessible.
    The only way to "prove" what you want to is get a court order for your cellular company to pull the records for the location of your phone over time from their system.
    They know exactly where you phone is at any given moment, but that is not going to be something they will give you just for the asking.
    Get a lawyer.  If you had one, they would have already advised you of this. If you can't afford one, call legal aid.

    Please help as much as you can or as little i desperatly need help.

    Oi mate there's no need to be nasty, i was asking why
    and you just throw it in my face,Nobody is throwing anything in your face. You threw a stack trace at us and said Java is broken help me.
    Well Java is not broken.
    The Java program you are running is broken.
    But we don't know what it is doing and where it is broken. Only the people with the source for the program (puzzlepirates) can help you.
    It is not my fault if they won't help you or told you Java is broken.
    and it seems that the java is not working or
    something else is wrong on my computerAs a wild guess there is something wrong with the DNS on your machine or proxy or something like that. This is a guess based on the UnknownHostException. But again that is only a guess and the best guess one can make based on the information present.
    The problem I think is that their applet tries to do something but doesn't account for connections like yours and is blowing up because of that.
    Again only a guess and in the end really does nothing to solve your problem. If you want to solve this problem email the stack trace and perhaps my comments in this post about the UnknownHostException to puzzlepirates and ask them for help.
    Nobody else can help you but them.

  • In need of desperate help

    Background on the game:
    This is a well known simple two player game. The play takes place on two grids, the size of which is agreed through establishing X and Y co-ordinates within an XML file. The grids represent a map of a piece of ocean on which is arrayed the naval fleet consisting of an aircraft carrier, various battleships, destroyers, frigates, mine-sweepers and possible submarines. Each vessel occupies certain squares on the grid.
    Im desperate for help in developing an applet which each player will run to create an XML document instance that holds the information about the players fleet. Any help would be really appreciated as i desperatly need some help.

    Please help me!--rendering makes the images or video blurry (very pixelated) deteriorates the image  Adobe Premier Elements 13  need help!  .jpg and mpeg images,  but I have never "rendered" before since I got APE 13 about 6 weeks ago.  I am desperate for assistance!

    That's going to be a ridiculous waste of money and energy.
    First of all, the current ATI drivers don't support multiple GPUs, so at the moment even a single 4870X2 would be only a 'normal' 4870 (which is quite a speed beast already). GFX drivers evolve rapidly, so things might look different next month, but when it comes to Linux and hardware there's one Golden Rule: stay away from the newest stuff and wait for proper support to get coded.
    I also wonder what power supply could possibly cope with the differences between idle and full load; that's way beyond 400W. But then, I'm one of those "quiet&green" types where >100W idle is already a bit much.
    I kind of understand that you want to get it done and not worry about hardware for the next 10 years or so, but that's simply not how the hardware world works and never did. At least not for the average consumer.

    please help.  getting desperate. i cannot set up 3g on my ipad 2. when i go to mobile data in the settings there is no option to view account. which is apprently what i need to click on, any help greatly apprectiated

    I got mine (2 weeks ago) 64GB WiFi+3G (Verizon) from the apple store online
    I didnt have to do anything to it, turned it on, activated it, got it on my home network then I signed up for the 3G data service, it works where ever I happen to be. (if there is an unknown WiFi connection available it asks me if I want to join before it continues to connect to the 3G when I am surfing or getting e-mail)
    do you have an Apple Store close enough to travel to?
    I am only assuming here, but since you have a SIM you are not in the US correct?

  • I need desperate help with Itunes for the SLVR

    I have a set playlist for Itunes to take songs from and put onto my phone when it is connected. That playlist has 56 songs, but when I click autofill, it only puts 31 songs down. As I add more songs to the playlist however, it only takes certain ones. For example, for every 7 songs I download into the playlist, it only takes 2 or 3. The phone has tons of space but I don't know, need desperate help, thanks in advance.

    i know i have the same problem the only one thing i have noticed that is consistant along with this problem is that songs that will not go on it are all of them have a higher bit rate than songs that do go on the phone but thats the only real thing i can notice so if someone can show me how to lower the bit rate if its possible that might be the miracle cure

    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Can't install boot camp(Am in desperate need of help!!!)

    Ok, the story, I will try to make it short:
    -Got my Imac a month ago. Installed Boot Camp Vista Home Premium 64 Bit. No problem. Ran smooth.
    -Later I got VMWare fusion and decided to check it out. Didn't like to to much, but now I can't install Boot Camp.
    -When using Boot Camp assistent, it creates my partition(which 200 GB) Fat32! The problem is, when it wants to boot to install. It ejects the Vista installation DVD! No matter what I do.
    -*If I hold down the ALT key(option button) during start up*, it will show a grey screen with two options(The Macintosh HD and the Windows Partition). Selecting the Windows partition gives a black screen with an error; *"non-system disk press any key to reboot"* Only problem is that the keyboard was dead or frozen so had to crash the machine.
    -Pressing D on start up to enable the *Apple Hardware Test* showed no problems.
    -Pressing Alt + Cmd(command) + P + R to *delete the NVRam and PRAM*, did not have any effect. I think I did it right though, because there came a second start up sound.
    -Pressing S + Cmd(command) on start up to run *User Single Mode*, with the command; "/sbin/fsck -fy" did not reveal any problems either, except for a weird long messege that kept coming up, and which interupted the line I was writing on several times. The messege was as follows: +":/root# AppleUSBEHCI[0x6e8t000]:: Found a Transaction Past the completion deadline on bus Oxfd, timing out!(Addr: 6EP:4)"+

    Other things I tried:

    -Tried rebooting while holding down "C" to force a startup from a CD/DVD. Vista installation DVD still ejected.
    -Tried reinstalling Leopard with the Leopard Installation Disc 01, but it also ejecred upon rebooting to install! < This lead me to believe that it's my Superdrive that is messed up, but it plays DVD Movies just fine, and I even just now just burned the Vista installation DVD to my desktop in a .dmg file. So I am not sure if that is it!
    -I tried taking a different Windows Vista DVD(Windows Vista 32 Bit Home Premium) to see if it could install from that. It could not, and ejected upon startup like the Leopard and 64 Bit Home Premium Vista Installation DVD!
    I am new to Mac, but I am desperate after getting boot camp to work again. I have litterly been trying to figure this out for days, and I can't get it to work. I tried to call Apple but they couldn't help me.:( I could really use your help. I just want it to work.
    And speaking of working, I haven't been to work for two days, because I have been home trying to figure this out. It's critical that I get boot camp working. So please, mates, can't you help me.
    I simply don't know what to do:(

  • IN DESPERATE NEED FOR HELP flashing question mark appears MacBook

    Hello everyone, I got this White MacBook Mac OS X 10.4.11 yesturday I was updating limewire and iTunes, I was downloading some songs from Limewire when all of a sudden my macbook frozed. I was not able to do a thing. Not even minimizing nor quiting the app nor even opening another aplication, so I decided to shut it down by holding the power button until it shut down (about 8 secs). So I restart my macbook and I got this grey=blank screen whit a flashing question mark on it. I've tried EVERYTHING on this link http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440?viewlocale=en_US even these one http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1533 and all I was able to accomplish, was to hold the mouse (/trackpad) button to eject a Cd, and while pressing Shift during startup (in order to start in Safe Boot mode) all I get is this lock image and this space to type a password. I've tried typing every password I know and I can't fix my macbook. Can anyone please help me out on this one?

    It means certain system files needed for startup are corrupted. You will have to reinstall OS X. If your hard drive is unaffected you can try the following:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X 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 Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) 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, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) 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. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • In desperate need of help from BT

    I am in the middle of the most frustrating series of events ever and its an absolutre shambles. What should have been a simple house move and resign up with BT (after many years a customer) has been a ridiculous farce. We had a connection date. You cancelled it for resaons that initially werent made clear. We rang to sort it out several times, were put through to many different departments, hung up on twice (professional CS!) have spent nearly 5 hours on the phone. Have now had our order cancelled 3 times. No one at BT has actually helped, plenty of apologies but these do not resolve the issue. We are now told, one month after initial connection date that you dont have control of the line??? You will have known this from the first attempt. To cap it all, someone from - I presume overseas call centre ( bad english, complete lack of understanding of basic conversation - not for the first time) has just rang and asked if we want to place an order as the last order has been cancelled. This will be the latest of a list or "orders" with no resolution. People that work dont have the time to be on the phone for numerous hours being passed from pillar to post with no sign of a resolution. 
    I have complained through the complaints email, guess what, no response.
    Order number (latest cancelled) was HMNEAA********
    I dont hold out much hope of anyone at BT being interested in sirting this out, but heres hoping

  • Automation Problem - Desperate Help Needed

    Hi
    Was wondering if anyone can help or has had the sameproblem?
    I have nearly finished a remix project in Logic and I amcoming to the final stages of automating effects etc.
    All of a sudden, my automation is not recording on certain tracks.
    I am simply trying to automate the cut-off on the Filterplug-in, but have subsequently realised that it is also happening with volume and any other type of automation.
    I thought it might be something to do with the massive synth– but the same is happening with the EXS and ES2 etc.
    I have done a lot of testing and opened up a new project andcopied over the settings and midi-regions and automation records absolutely fine!
    I even tried to get round it by sending the output to a bus and effecting the bus then trying to automate the bus once adding to the arrange! No Joy!  Still failed?!
    It seems that it is a bug within my project?!
    A black line appears and even if I try and manually drawautomation the line just disappears.
    It is definitely not what I am doing, as I have replicated the process in a fresh project and it works fine.
    Are you only allowed so many channels of automation?
    Funnily, during my testing when I try and delete the trackto start a fresh – it says – 'Do you want to delete automation'! but there isclearly none on display and I am not hearing any!
    It feels like a bug – but wondered if anyone else had any issues?
    It is only affecting certain tracks, but I cannot see a correlation between them?!
    I am about to start replicating everything in a new project! Huge job – but I need to automate forthe final mix and its due by Friday – I am really frustrated by this!
    Can Apple help me?
    Thanks in advance
    Steve

    Steve,
    I haven't seen this behavior before, but it sounds like a corrupted file. It doesn't happen often, but it does, and can happen.
    If you are not having similar problems in a new template, than moving everything over to a new session would be advised, at this point.
    Logic 9's new track import feature will make this A LOT easier than it ever was.
    Read up on how this is done, but you should be able to copy EVERYTHING over to a new session in one swoop

  • Desperate Help needed in using LabVIEW

    Hi,
    I'm a beginner in using LabView programming. Can anybody help with implementing Labview 6 and Keithley 2400 SourceMeter for data aquisition? I've wired up the hardware and have problem coming up with the software.. Any idea how to get started?

    Hello giam,
    I made wrapper vi's for the standard GPIB Read/Write functions to
    handle errors (using green icons to distinguish them better). The "send
    mult" handles simple strings (like standard GPIB Write) and array of
    strings (you often need to send more than one string to a device). But
    generally those icons have the same main functionality like standard
    GPIB...
    To send an array of strings you put the GPIB Write into a for loop and
    connect the array as input with autoindexing enabled (as standard).
    Maybe a small delay will help for some devices, the K2400 should do
    without.
    Edited: The greenish delay icon is just a standard "Wait ms" with
    additional error cluster in/out to allow dataflow programming...
