I tried to erase and reset my iphone4 but its more than 8 hours just hanging, nothing is happening, can someone help please?

unplug the iphone from you computer.
quit itunes.
re-open itunes.
connect iphone
quickly begin to hold down both home button and sleep/wake for around 7/8 seconds.
as soon as the iphone screen goes black release finger from sleep/wake button but continue to hold home button.
an apple logo should appear on the iphone screen
continue to hold down home button
itunes should now let you know it has detected a phone in recovery mode.
choose to restore iphone.
once completed restore from back up if desired.

  • Bought iPhone 4 on eBay, tried to download app, put in password but rejected, then realised username was previous owners email address. can someone help. thanks

    Just sign the old user ouf of the store, and sign back in with your AppleID and password.
    Just scroll down to the bottom of the store screen, click on the Apple ID bar, click on sign out, then sign back in with your AppleID.
    Note though that if the phone already has apps on it purchased by the previous owner, those are permanently tied to the previous owners Apple ID - you would need their password to update any of those apps.  The only option to you to update any of them would be to delete them, and purchase them yourself using your own Apple ID.

  • Somehow, I do not have java anymore. i tried to update, and all of a sudden, it says it has no java anymore... can someone help?

    Hi
    i tried updating java, because a game i used to play no longer supports my version. after the update mac has provided, java had not updated in my browser, thus i downloaded it from a site. after doing this, firefox does not even find the applet. can anyone help me PLEASE!?

    For Mac OS X 10.5, Apple's Java Update 10 removed support for JavaPlugin2, preventing Firefox versions 4.0 and above and other non-Apple browsers from detecting that Java is installed.  Mozilla fixed the problem in Firefox 5.0.1 and above so this should no longer be a probem if you applied the latest Firefox update.

    The reset link will show on your account if you have a rescue email address on it, if you only have alternate email addresses then it won't show.
    If the country where you and your iTunes account are isn't on this page (you need to be in a country to use its store) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    then you can try contacting support via this page and explain that you've forgotten your answers, don't have a rescue email address, and your country isn't on the HT5699 page and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • Iphoto won't display photos or run a slideshow. Thumbnails all OK etc. Tried rebuilding library and reset Mac Air but no result.  Ideas please!!!!

    Iphoto won't display photos or run a slideshow - just a black screen. Can't see photos to edit etc. Thumbnails all OK and all else seems visible in the usual way etc. Tried rebuilding library and reset Mac Air but no result.  Ideas please!!!!

    and was told to go home and rebuild the photo library (there are 2257 photos). Did this but problem is still there.
    When you rebuild the library did you rebuild the database?  Also did you repair the library's permissions? Is this the First Aid window that you got?
    Those are the two options to use.
    Here's another fix you can try:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
    2 -  select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
    3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox  "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
    4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    5 - in the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
    You'll have to recreate your slideshow after using this method.

    Have you signed out of your iTunes account on the device/computer that you are using and signed back in with the updated password ? That should 'refresh' the account on it, and you should be able to use the account's new password to download updates to its apps

    Could you provide the exact wording and punctuation of the message, and try Googling that yourself -- when you google leave out unimportant words and punctuations, group words that are still together as in original message within quotes or with hyphens so that google will look for those words together in that order.

    A couple of things to try:
    PRAM reset by holding down cmd-opt-p-r on restart. Hold down the keys until you hear the second startup tone.
    If you have a wireless keyboard, wait until you hear the startup tone, then press the keys.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    Boot into Safe Mode by holding down Shift key on restart. Same timing applies to wireless keyboard.
    Safe Mode takes a while to boot. It will show a progress bar. It will boot to the login screen. Log in, then restart normally.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455
    Boot into Recovery HD by holding down cmd-r. Same note for wireless keyboard.  Once booted, run Disk Utility and repair Macintosh HD (or whatever you have renamed it).

    Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    (The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
    Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?
