Your only recourse is to force it into DFU mode:
Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

Living in Japan and I'm an American who just signed up with Soft Bank the phone service here and spent a TON of money on an iPhone. I can't figure out how to connect my bank account at home to my app account so I can Skype my family. Please help!!!! I don't have a credit card nor do they gove debit cards to foreigners here, or at least it's really hard so I'm using my bank at home and still have a debit there. My phone number is 8 numbers plus the country code which is strange! Another thing is I was given a phone email that I was told to use for texting but I'm not sure how that works!! It's so frustrating too because no one speaks English here and I'm not very tech savvy. God bless you if you can help :)
whichever app store you are connecting to, hyou need a credit card with an address in that country. Also, itunes gift cards must be in local currency too.
If you are in japan, you need to use the japan app store -

I have a strange problem. When I put my iphone 4S into my pocket (pants or coat) and move it around, the phone makes a beep noise/tone. I can't figure out what is causing the noise. It doesn't sound like any of my regular applications. Maybe it is the lock noise but I can't tell for sure. More movement makes more beeps. Even walking with my phone in my pocket creates beeps. The IOS is 7.0.4 (11B554a). Anyone else have this crazy problem?

Metacity/compiz, can't figure out what to do.
Sooo, I just installed arch linux again to play around, starting at a fresh install I installed an xserver and got it running right, then I started installing some WMs and installed lightdm and lightdm-gtk3-greeter.
So far so good, when I do try to login all WMs show up except metacity/compiz, that's not really a problem so I decide to add the entries manually
both are in /usr/share/xsessions
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=metacity
Name[en_US]=metacity
Terminal=false
Exec=metacity
TryExec=metacity
Name[en_US.UTF-8]=metacity
Type=Application
[Window Manager]
SessionManaged=true
and
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Compiz
Name[en_US]=Compiz
Terminal=false
Exec=compiz ccp
TryExec=compiz ccp
Name[en_US.UTF-8]=compiz
Type=Application
[Window Manager]
SessionManaged=true
From what I can tell the entries are right, they don't throw any errors and I get to a desktop and I have a cursor (no menus of any type though)
The issue is that I have no clue how to proceed, I configured compiz with ccsm but can't figure out how to add menus, my goal is to make it look like GNOME2 without all the bloat (all I should need is metacity and compiz, true?), another thing I want is a fancy floaty dock and conky, conky is installed and I'll configure it once my desktop looks decent, the dock I chose is cairo-dock because it looks nice (does it auto-hide? Auto hiding is absolutely critical.)
Anyway, I did my research, I read the compiz-article on the wiki (I installed 0.9.x if it matters) but I do not know how to get the config running, the syntax for .xinitrc is rather different from a .desktop file, Google didn't help nor did the forums search function.
Did I mention what I want it to look like? I don't think so... anyway, I want it to look like gnome2 with the applications menu and places menu (have a look at debian 6.x if you don't know what it looks like) but I am rather lost ^^;
Sorry for being so uneducated, I hope I don't cause someone too much pain with my silly questions.

Quite frankly though, why not use .xinitrc and startx? It's by far the easiest way to autostart programs with a session. Compiz was not designed to be used as a standalone window manager and, as such, does not have an autostart utility of its own. Like I said earlier, you can put all the startup commands for the programs you want to autostart in your .xinitrc file and start the session with startx. No xsession files are required for that, of course. If you must use a Display Manager you may be able to parse startup commands through it using an xprofile file. There is a little information on that here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xprofile. As for your Metacity xsession file, I have no idea why you wrote that. There is no need for it. As has been pointed out earlier, Metacity is a window manager completely seperate from Compiz which is also a window manager. Metacity cannot be used alongside Compiz and is not required by Compiz itself in any way.
Obviously, I thought you'd realize I knew that .xinitrc wasn't relevant since I added the "I thought it was only used when startx is called or am I mistaken?" but I digress; I'm not sure why you keep questioning my motives though, if I want to use lightdm then I don't want to use startx, whatever my reasons may be are rather irrelevant.
Anyway, thanks for the link, at least it gives me something to work with (I'm sure I can figure out the syntax based on the xfce4 file)
Oh and I know compiz wasn't designed to be used standalone but I am not going to be stopped by that, for the metacity xsession file I wrote that as a test. If I recall GNOME2 uses metacity as the window manager and compiz as the compositor (which I know is a working setup, however it was merely a test), so yes. They can be used alongside each other since compiz has a quite capable compositor.
Chazza wrote:Ok. Fine. But you said you were after the educational experience so I was trying to suggest WM's that would be more suitable for a standalone session.
Well yes, they may be a tad more user friendly but I have a similar philosophy with system building as playing games; Always play on the hardest difficulty.
Chazza wrote:Why are you talking about gtk themes? They are not relevant. They are for desktop applications, they are not for window managers. When you are talking about a window manager theme you are talking about what the window border looks like and nothing else besides. What you need to understand about Compiz is that it is a window manager that does not come with its own decorator (the decorator being the progam that provides windows with borders.) As such, there are three decorators that can be used with Compiz: compiz-decorator-gtk, kde-window-decorator and emerald. The first is dependent on Metacity and uses Metacity themes. It is what is installed with the compiz-dev and compiz-bzr packages (I assume you installed Compiz with one of these packages as you said you were using the 0.9 version.) The second is dependent on Kwin and uses Kwin themes. The third is not dependent on any window manager and has its own themes. Why is there a setup like this? Because it was expected that you would use Compiz with either GNOME or KDE so it made sense to have decorators that could use the themes already available for the desktop environment's native window manager.
Ah, a keen observation there! But if you would've paid attention I was also talking about compiz themes, you see the compiz theme I use also comes with a matching GTK theme, the GTK theme looks silly without the compiz theme and the compiz theme looks silly with other gtk themes. (that I have tried).
Further I am aware that compiz uses three different decorators (based on choice), my theme has an emerald theme and a metacity theme included, I can pick either (isn't it nice?) and indeed I am using the compiz-dev package.
Chazza wrote:Compiz is not a window decorator, it is a window manager, just like Metacity or Kwin or Xfwm or Mutter or Openbox etc etc. As I said above, the difference is that Metacity, Xfwm, Kwin etc all come with their own native window decorators. Compiz does not. Compiz has some decorators that can utilise the themes of aformentioned window managers.
ah yes, I started rambling towards the end it seems, I didn't mean window decorator I meant compositor, sorry about that. -

Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong
I'm using Studio 8 in Mac OS X (10.4.6). I've got some pdfs
uploaded to my site that are accessible through links one one of
the pages. I had to make changes to the pdfs and resave them. I
thought I uploaded them, but when I test the links it downloads the
old version and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Here's
what I did.
This may be a dumb way to do things, but I saved the new
version and then dragged into the server file in
user-->Library-->Application
Support-->Macromedia-->Dreamweaver
8-->Configuration-->ServerConnections-->unnamed
server-->public_html (this is where all the other files are).
When I go back into Dreamweaver and open the pdf listed in the
Files window on the right (by control-clicking and selecting Open
with-->Acrobat) the correct version appears. I thought maybe
there was a delay or something, but I've waited and still the old
version is what you get from the site.
Is there an easier way to do this, or is something wrong
maybe? Many thanks in advance.> This may be a dumb way to do things, but I saved the new

Local hostname already in use - can't figure out what's going on
I've been having issues with a wireless router and I think the problem lies somewhere within my computer. As I switch back and forth from trying to connect to the internet via my router or directly connected to my cable modem, I will often get this error:
"This computer's local hostname "xyz" is already in use on this network"
There is only one compuer on the network, however and I cannot figure out what's going on.
I have 2 users set up on this machine, but I'm the admin and acting as such. Even with no other networked equipment hooked up to my Mac (except for the cable modem) this problem won't go away.
I guess my real quesiton is what causes this and where should I go to troubleshoot things?
I'm running 10.4.6, connect to my ISP using DHCP and have the same problem with both a D-Link and Linksys router.
Any ideas?
Thanks!Thanks very much for your help, fu.
If your previous setup follows a flow like this: RCA
CableModem-->NetGear Router-->AirPortExpress, there's
something misconfigured routing-wise in your network.
You have to decide which device (Netgear or AirPort
Xpress) will handle the routing in your network.
Previous to these problems, that was the basic flow of my network. The netgear router also fed a wired connection into a Wintel PC, and the AirPort Express hosted a wireless network that was extended by a second Airport Express. And that second AE connected to a ReplayTV with a wired connection. And then, of course, the PowerBook got Internet access wirelessly through the AE-hosted network. And that was it.
That network always was configured so that the netgear router assigned IP addresses using DHCP, and the Airport Expresses would not assign IP addresses (i.e., "Distribute IP addresses" was NOT checked when you look at the configuration in Airport Admin Utility).
How big is your network j? just 1 Mac (your
PowerBook)?
That was the state of the network a couple of days ago when I posted this. I have established that the PowerBook gets access to the Internet just fine directly though the cable modem, and just fine when it is the only wired connection to the router.
Let's deal with your Mac first:
Start with your Mac connected directly to the cable
Modem. (When your mac is attached directly to the
Cable Modem, do you use DHCP?)
Go to SystemPreferences-->Sharing and type a Computer
Name other than the default one
Open Applications-->Utilities-->Terminal and type
lookupd -flushcache (press Return) and reboot
the Mac.
I did this.
One way to fix your network is to have the NetGear do
the routing, and the AirPort Express to (just) extend
your (wired) network wirelessly (No routing will be
done from the AirPortXPress, (No distribution of IP
Addresses)
I soft reset both of my Airport Expresses. I configured the first one so that it was hosting a network, but not distributing IP addresses, and the second so that it was extending that wireless network. And I plugged the host AE into the netgear router. And for a little while, that was working.
But then I got a message saying "IP Configuration 192.168.0.4 in use by 00:04:40:06:1f:82, DHCP Server 192.168.0.1". The dialog box with that message will come up periodically as long as the Airport Expresses are plugged into power and one is plugged into the router. Also, I once agaiin received the message saying the local hostname (the completely original one that I had created) was in use, and the name was being changed.
Here is the thing. I cannot figure out what has that ...0.4 IP address and ...1f:82 MAC address on the network. That is not the "Internet port MAC address" or the "LAN port MAC address" for the Netgear router. It is also not the MAC address for either of the Airport Expresses or the PowerBook's internal Ethernet card.
I accessed the router through my browser, and clicked on "Attached Devices." Here is the list of Attached Devices:
# IP Address Device Name MAC Address
1 192.168.0.2 00:11:24:08:4c:88
2 192.168.0.3 00:14:51:6d:15:7c
3 192.168.0.5 00:0a:95:da:4f:24
The first two addresses are the two AE's, and the third is the internal Ethernet card of the PowerBook.
I ran "Netstat" under the Network Utility to get "Routing Table Information," and here is what I get (with some identifying info removed):
