When your friend set it up he hacked the phone. While it isn't illegal, it violates the contract with Apple and they will no longer honor the warranty or provide support for the phone. See: Unauthorized modification of iOS can cause security vulnerabilities, instability, shortened battery life, and other issu…

Video aplication won't open and I try turning of my ipad and it won't work now matter wath!!

Why?

I assume it's the Video app that now won't work at all - if it's the iPad then try the second option below.
Have you tried closing the Videos app completely ? From the home screen (i.e. not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen)double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My version upgrade failed now my itunes wont reconize my phone and it won't work

Help me I have this strange symbol on my phone telling me to plug into iTunes but iTunes won't reconize the phone. When I upgraded the version fro like 4.something to 5.01 it gave me a failure message and then now it won't do anything. Any ideas what to do next

place your phone in DFU mode (search Google for instructions) and restore as a new device.

HT1688 hey, my **** iphone just out of no where said i need to activate my phone.... and it won't work now... what do i do

is anyone there?

Do you have access to your developer account? You are running a beta version on your iPhone and will need to fix it through that site. If you are not a developer but were legitimately beta testing for someone you need to contact them for a fix.
If you are using an unauthorized beta you need to put your iPhone in DFU mode and Restore it as a new iPhone in iTunes and hope it works.

I have an OLD PowerBook G3 and it won't work now.

I have aquired an old PowerBook G3 400 Mhz with FireWire and it has been sitting collection dust for quite a while. It will not turn on at all. I have the batter in the left bay and the right bay has nothing, not weight saver or anything in it, and it is plugged in over ac. I have tried 2 power adapters, an apple one and a 3rd party one. The computer does not do anything, no lights or noises. The lights on the battery don't light up either. Does anyone know what could be the problem?
Thanks

Start with this article:
50959- Troubleshooting portables that won't turn on or start up
If none of those helps, remove the main battery and try the list again. Operating without a battery may be helpful for bench testing, but your powerbook is intended to run with a battery in place. Without a battery, it may be more likely to sustain damage due to power fluctuations. If the main battery does not recharge itself, it may be dead and require replacement.
The PowerBook also has a recharging PRAM backup battery (unlike the iBook which has only the main battery). You may have to leave it plugged in overnight (without the main battery in place) or longer before it has any hope of recharging the PRAM backup battery. If the PRAM backup battery does not recharge, it may be dead. It is more convenient to have a working PRAM battery for daily use.

Hi, so I pushed autofill because I thought that it would put music on my phone from a different iTunes library but it didn't work, and now the songs show up grey in my music on my phone and they won't play, but they are still there. What can I do?

Go back to iTunes, select the Music tab, uncheck the 'sync music; button, then hit apply.

I try to restore it and then it says something went wrong and it won't work. So I've been without my phone for a couple days now. It gives me error code (29). The phone almost reboots and then 3/4 of the way through it gives me the error message.

I have always been able to sync my IE bookmarks from my desktop to Safari on my iPhone. Suddenly they are gone from my phone and they won't sync any longer. What am I doing wrong?

I have always been able to sync my IE bookmarks from my desktop to Safari on my iPhone. Suddenly they are gone from my phone and they won't sync any longer. What am I doing wrong?

I have done this on numerous occasions but I think that my Iphone has a defect. After many tries, reinstalls, deletion of content, changing content to be stored on external hard drive, deleting itunes and cleaning computer I managed to get all of the songs on and things seemed okay for a while.
The problem returned about a week ago after downloading a new album from Itunes. I now have 12.5k of songs leaving 10gb spare on Iphone which should be more than enough room to operate properly. Last night it seemed to be dowloading ok (after doing all of the above again for the umpteenth time) this morning it revealed that it had just synched 2.5k of songs and 18gb of "other" on the contents bar. it wont synch now as it says its over capacity. So the 18gb of "other" would probably be corrupted data that means it must corrupt each song as it tries to synch it.
The 2.5k of songs it did synch are working on the Iphone as is every song in the library on Itunes. I did completely delete the new album I bought and redownloaded it from the store then tried to synch just that album and it worked fine.
Just about time to dump apple I think!

TS3899 trying to set up my email with my phone and it won't accept my email password

Hi,
I'm trying to set up my email info on my phone and it won't accept my password form my hotmail account?? help

Hi Guys
Thanks for all the input.   I guess I need to clarify my situation a little better.
I've always had a Blackberry and made the sitch last week.
My work email is merely a forward that our ISP handles.
So if you send me an email to [email protected] my ISP forwards it to my Gmail account.   Within Gmail I was able to set it up that any email I send or reply to comes from my [email protected]
Now that I have an iphone the game has changed.    Using Microsoft Exchange I set up my email and no problem sending or recieving but when I send an email or reply to an email its coming from [email protected] and I want it to be coming from my work address.
Thanks again
Luke

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
