I need to turn fileVault off, and don't have the space

I am so
upset now,
I freeed up a ton of space on my hard drive,
before installing/ turning on the FileVault,
and I asking an senior advisor,
would turning on File Vault take up an of my GB space, and she said no,
and I turned it on, it took 2.5 hours to do,
and when it got done,
I Can't it turned off becasue it's now telling me that I don't have enough GB space to turn it off,
and I don't enough space,
I need 134 GB of space do this task,
I have taken it to the Apple Store at the Mall here in Atlanta,
and no one were able to get it.
I'm so frustrated,
how can I force this thing off, and give me back my space,
and I don't have an external hard drive,
why did this happend aftern being told one thing by the senior advisor.
OMG.
I HATe this File Vault.

Yes yes indeed,
OMG,
I finally got it off,
I called IT Support
and this guy saw where it had doubled the size during the encryption, and showed me how to go in and delete,
and I was able to finally turn it off,
although it took 3 hours to do so.
but worth it.
so never will I again listen to anyone about that,
I'm done with the encryption of my machine.
I wasted a trip going to the Apple Store,
thank you.

Why does my 1st gen iPad always turns itself off and goes back to the screen. Whether I'm reading news, iBooks, etc, suddenly it goes off.

Why does my 1st gen iPad always turns itself off and goes back to the screen. Whether I'm reading news, iBooks, etc, suddenly it goes off.

If that doesn't help, the battery may be dying and need replacement. See here (tap on Battery Replacement): http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad
Alternately, might consider start saving for a new iPad. The newest iPad 6 should come out in the next few months. When it does, sellers will want to get rid of old inventory with good deals.

Hi all, I'm trying to download a film from iTunes onto my iPad but downloaded the HD version instead of SD and don't have the room to download it. Have removed everything I can to make space but still need another 1.2 GB. How can I delete it??

Hi all, I'm trying to download a film from iTunes onto my iPad but downloaded the HD version instead of SD and don't have the room to download it. Have removed everything I can to make space but still need another 1.2 GB. Is there any way I can delete it so I can delete the version I wanted, or even better change to the SD version? The film is still queuing in the downloads list. I've tried edit and delete but that doesn't work. I also can't re-download the film from iTunes.
Any suggestions very welcome!

Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Before that, back up your device, explained here:

I get a blue screen whenever I unlock it and I have to keep turning it off and on to get the slide to unlock to appear

Have iPod touch and I get a blue screen whenever I unlock it & I have to keep turning it off and on to get the slide to unlock to appear.

Reset the Device:
Hold the power button and the home button down until the device shuts off, then power it back on and see if the problem is resolved.
That won't remove any data. I hope that works.

I have gotten the message The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired. I don't have the discs. Help!

I received a hand-me-down MacBook Pro (mine was stolen). I tried to install a full backup from my Time Machine using Migration Assistant, it froze during the install so I force quit the Migration Assistant. Since then I have had to re-establish my administrator ID and password. I can now only boot up in safe mode, I get the message that my HD is full (only 8.67GB available out of 199GB), and to make matters worse I now get the message "The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired". I don't have the install discs, and I'm not very tech savvy. Can anyone help me?

You can buy OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Install DVD.

You must also disable iTunes Match on the iPhone.

Inserted a new hard drive into my Mac Boo Pro 2008 15 inch and don't have the original disks. Wondering if there was a way to purchase them.

Inserted a new hard drive into my Mac Boo Pro 2008 15 inch and don't have the original disks. Wondering if there was a way to purchase them from Apple or if I buy them off ebay will they work? Also its A Macbook Pro 2008 15 inch glossy with 2GB of Ram the serial number is worn off what kind OS do I need?

Wondering if there was a way to purchase them from Apple
Yes. Contact Apple Support using one of the options in the Contact Us below. You will need your MBP's serial number and payment method for a nominal fee. If the exterior serial number is illegible look elsewhere for it: MacBook Pro: How to find the serial number
or if I buy them off ebay will they work?
Probably not. Grey discs are system-specific and will work only for the exact model MBP with which they shipped. It's likely that Apple will charge you less money, and it will be guaranteed to work.

Disk needs to be repaired, but I don't have the OS X installation disc.

My MacBook Pro has been slow and crashing so I verified the HD. "Disc utility stopped verifying Macintosh HD. This disk needs to be repaired". I don't have the OS X (snow leopard) disc here, I don't have any friends with Macs nearby, and I'm not near an Apple store. Is there anything I can do? I will be able to get the disk tomorrow, but I need to finish a project today.
Also, if it makes any difference, before this Pages stopped working and I couldn't get it going even after Community help, then I tried to download OS X mountain Lion and couldn't get it to complete the upload, but I couldn't find a reason why even after checking the community board's answers to other people.
Thanks for any help.

Downloading Mt Lion will only cause more problems, because a lot of present software (and hardware drivers for printers, scanners etc) you might have will not work with it.
You will not be able to get a disk today, the disk you need is only available from Apple by calling them on the phone.
You have to find out your exact Mac model, like MacBook Pro 3,1 for instance, because the free MacTracker will tell you something very important, the version of OS X that came with the machine.
You see Intel Mac's that came originally with 10.6.2 or earleir can use the 10.6.3 white retail disk (sans the free iLife) which is easy and cheaper to get. Even Amazon will carry that if your in a rush and willing to pay more.
Mac's that came with 10.6.3+ need machine specific versions that can take longer to get from Apple, could cost more and include the free iLife suite.
If your machine came with 10.5, then the 10.6.3 white retail disks will do and you can extract iLife from the 10.5 disks with Pacifist from CharelsSoft in case it comes to a reinstall.
To boot from the 10.6 disk, hold c or option key down.
However if your computer can't be repaired via the disk, you might have to backup, erase and install 10.6 again.

I want to use an old iphone as an itouch and don't have the sim card anymore (cut it to fit into 4G) and I just updated to the new software.... How do I reload the phone with apps and music?

You'll need to get a SIM card. It can be an old one.

Any content that is currently on the phone will be tied to the account that bought/downloaded it (so you won't be able to update any of its apps or copy its content to your computer's iTunes). You can log out of the currently logged in account by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores if it's on iOS 6) and you can then do Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings to remove all of the previous owner's content - you can then log in with your own account on it and copy your own content onto it from your computer's iTunes

The only other way would be through Apple, assuming you bought it at an Apple store or at least registered it. Stop by the store or call their support number.

HT1918 cancelled credit card and don't have the security code

I cancelled my credit card on my iTunes account and don't have the security code. Trying to download iTunes from a new computer and it won't let me sign on without security code. Any suggestions??

Hi and thanks. The password on the old iCloud account doesn't work and my ex-husband says he doesn't know what it is -- and that he's not getting emails to reset the password. I tried using the rescue questions and even the birthdate isn't working. I think he's changed it to keep me out, but it's charging my credit card account.

I don't have enough space for my movie.but it shoes i have it on the list..so how to i take it off, i don't have enough space for my movie.but it shoes i have it on the list..so how to i take it off

i really need help

If you were manually managing your iPhone then yes, you need to manually transfer your apps. If you were regularly syncing and arranging your apps on your computer (which is easier) then yes a sync will not disturb anything. You do have to go to file and transfer apps and music if you are not autosyncing. Perhaps you should take the time to read the manual.
Where did I say that "Apple products don't have issues and don't crash..." Please point this out to me. My phone has had to be reset, I've had to turn it off and back on to resynch with the GSM network (this predates my iPhones, had to do the same thing with my Treo), I've had issues with other products and versions of the phone.
But in your case you stated that your computer did not match your phone and I've seen this happen before. I do say that some people don't take responsibility for their own actions and want to blame others. So gut it out, download your apps again if you lost any (doesn't cost anything) clean up and sync and then keep things that way. It will make you happier and more content.
Or sell you iPhone and buy a smartphone that has no issues. I find it hard to believe any reasonable person would continue to use a smartphone that they find is "buggy as **". This just doesn't make any sense.

I dropped my iPhone 4 while using it. When I picked it up, it would not turn on. I don't have the money to get it fixed right now. What am I supposed to do??

You can try resetting it to see if that turns it on, but if it does not work, the iPhone is probably damaged from the fall and you should take it to an Apple Store so that they can have a look and determine if it is repairable. An out of warranty replacement will cost you money but much less than if you had to buy a new phone.
