I'm installing the new OS and iPhone is asking for a password to "restore" my iPhone, but I've never used a password for the phone and don't know what it is! Can anyone help??

You selected Encrypt iPhone Backups in iTunes. Then you entered a password.
It would be that specific password it is asking for.

Does anybody know if the ipad air 1 is using yosemite or something different? I don't know what type of safari i should install because it disappeared from the ipad. Thanks!

Does anybody know if the ipad air 1 is using yosemite or something different? I don't know what type of safari i should install because it disappeared from the ipad. Thanks!

YYosemite is a Mac OS and it doesn't run on an iPad. You cannot delete or install Safari on the iPad. It is on your device somewhere.
Swipe from screen to screen to look for it.
Check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure that you didn't disable it.
You can also reset the home screen layout and the icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

Opening the dashboard(XLF) file from BOE repository is locking of my SAP USER ID(SBOP) again again .....Urgently need solution. Don't know what the damn thing happening with me.

Hi Experts,
Since from 15 days I am working on one Dashboard with BEX query, now I have completed that I am able to run that till yesterday. But today my SAP USER ID expired(every 15 days it expires). I have updated same password in all places(CMC OLAP, UNV,IDT) and tried to open the same XLF (which was running fine till yesterday ) after opening that if I tried to edit query or tried to add query or clicked on preview....all ending with locking of my SAP USER ID(SBOP) ..............Don't know what the damn thing happening please seng if you know any solution.
Experts need help to solve this issue urgently .........:)
Thanks in Advance

Hi Mahantesh,
We have faced same scenario,this is happening due to SAP User ID password change.
Stop all the BO work and change the password of SAP everywhere used.Any single point will lock it again.
Try this.This has worked for us.

I update my Macbook Air (OSX mountain Lion) and it just hung up half way updating. Trying to shut it down but it just won't let me shut down. I don't know whats's wrong.

Anyone knows how to stop this update? Or how to continue the update so that my Macbook can be shut down or restarted...

Since you updated the operating system, it is probably Minecraft is missing certain files that ware remove or are not longer comparable with the new version of the OSX. what I recommend, is to check is there is an update for Minecraft and install that. If there is not update available, probably the best thing will be reinstalling Minecraft. Hope this will help you.

I have a iPod touch 4th generation and lately, a message keeps popping up saying I do not have enough storage when I try to download basically anything I don't know what to do about this problem

I haven't heard of this problem with any other people so I need help please now. Thanks

To download/install an app directly to the iPod you need available storage equal to about three times the file download size. Syncing the app to the iPod requires a lot less. Thus you either have to free up more storage or sync the app from your computer.

Since installing iCloud, my iPhone 3GS no longer syncs with my Outlook Calendar and Outlook Contacts. I don't know what else to try, short of resetting the iPhone and completely reloading as a new device. Any ideas, anyone?

It's good to know. The Apple instructions for loading iCloud on a PC just seem to have either overlooked or hidden this limit. The larger problem is that it partially works: partially and erratically. So clean-up is great fun.

I have logged in so i dont know why it wont connect. I'm really upset about lossing it, if anyone one knows how to fix the problem or another way of tracking my phone that would be great.

The iphone 5 can only be located if connected to a data or mobile network. If in Airplane mode or switched off, it can't be found.

My iPhone 5C will only charge when the phone is switched off I've tried multiple leads and still it will only charge when it's switched off, somebody has told me it's the battery? But I don't know what to do

yesterday my charger was working fine, all day long I got home and go to plug it in and it's not working, I let my phone die and it starts working like the battery symbol shows up but once the phone is on it stops working. I've tried a couple of leads but I know they aren't proper apple and it still doesn't work, my friend said I've probably fried the battery but I'm not sure, but I know since I got the phone the battery hasn't been all that good, it charges quickly but then also dies quickly, I really don't know what to do and I really need some help, should I get a new lead or replace my phone because I have insurance?

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If nothiing above helped, restore the iPhone to factory settings > Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Apple does not get involved with lost or stolen items. A carrier may offer IMEI blocking (non in the USA currently do, but elsewhere some do). Your carrier would already know your IMEI number anyway, so just contact them and ask them about it.
It is VERY good that you had a passcode lock on the device. That means your personal information will be safe. And yes, after 10 failed attempts (each with increasing time out between allowing another attempt) the device will permanently lock them out until they restore the device in iTunes. Anyone can go ahead and restore your iPhone as new in iTunes, but that also wipes everything off it and restores it to new condition - which does mean they can go off and use it as theirs, but at least all your data is gone.
Did you file a police report it was stolen? Also your carrier should be told (and ask them about IMEI blocking). Sorry it is gone, but you did the best thing possible to protect yourself and your information when you set up that passcode lock.

Hi Amanda,
Software applications are usually installed in the Applications folder on the Macintosh HD and are accessible to all users.
I would advise you to check the Applications folder and see if your software is in there.
Next step would be to Control Click or Right Click on the application and choose "Get Info" and make sure the permissions are set to "Read & Write" for all users. The article below provides more details:

When performing the new iPhone(IOS6) update I received an error message - iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes. Will I lose everything if it goes back to factory settings. Right now my phone wont do anything. It is just showing a cable, an arrow and the iTunes logo.

If you restore from backup.
You should have made sure that everything was on your computer bef ore updating anyway. Did you fail to do that?
All pics taken with iphone should be imported to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera, most especially before any update/restore/etc. Did you fail to do that?

my total library is 680 mb, nowhere close to the 2.08 in the pictures folder. I am obviously messing up.
Actually you’re not.
The iPhoto Window reports the size of the library that would result if you exported all the current versions +and nothing else+ to a folder on the desktop.
The iPhoto Library Folder contains the Original, Modified and thumbnail versions of your pics. It also contains various cache and database files +all of which are necessary+ for the working of the Library.
Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
You can run a Library on an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Regards
TD
