I tried upgrading my Ipad to IOS 4.3 and now i get a message that my ipad can not be activated. HELP!

I recently tried to upgrade the software on my Ipad to IOS 4.3 (in order to get Google Earth and now I get this message:" Your Ipad can not be activated because the activiation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your Ipad to ITunes [i did] to activate it or try again [i did sever times] in a couple of minutes. If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support"

You can only update to the current iOS 5.1.1.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

I am trying to upgrade my iTunes to 11.1.3 and I keep getting a message that I have an invalid signature. Help!

I just received the iPhone 5s, but cannot connect to my iTunes because it is out of date. However, everytime I try to install the new version of iTunes, I get a message that the signature is invalid. Help! What do I do to fix the "signature"?

Hello there, karimaz1011.
You may want to go directly to Apple's iTunes Download page and download and install the latest version manually:
Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now

Hey csumner1,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are receiving a "Not enough free space" alert when attempting to sync your new iPhone 4s. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
iOS: "Not enough free space" alert when trying to sync
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1503
Resolution
Try disconnecting and reconnecting your device, then syncing again to solve this issue.
Orphaned files may remain on your iOS device if it is physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, the Capacity indicator in iTunes may report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device. To resolve this issue:
1. Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
2. Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
3. Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
4. Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
          - If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 5.
5. Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device. To do this:
          - Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
          - Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
          - Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
          - Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes.
If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 6.
6. Restore using iTunes.
Thanks,
Matt M.

But in LR registration with Adobe is is not automatic as was the case for PS. It is an optional action that must be initiated by the user. He may not have done so.
now i downloaded the trial version of lightroom in the new computer
OP, be sure that you have downloaded the trial for the perpetual version and not for the rental (cloud) version.

HT4623 I'm upgrading to ios 7, and I'm getting a message saying "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server could not be reached" I've gotten this now 10 times and have even tried activating it through iTunes which also did not work.

I am trying to upgrade my phone to iOS 7, I restored it so it would download the new software and now it is telling me that it cannot be activated. How do I get around this?

unfortunately no, a million people are attempting to update their phones right now, and thus activate them. Patience will have to suffice.
For the future, I would recommend not updating essential work devices on the launch day

Trying to take computer back to factory specs and now I get this message a flashing folder with a question mark

Trying to take computer back to factory specs and now I am gettin a flashing folder with a question mark on it

The flashing folder means the computer is unable to find a valid boot disk. If you booted into the Recovery Drive using Command R and formatted the drive you must also download and install the operating system. Have you done that? If not, reboot using Command R and do so.

We have mac os X 10.5.8 we tried to upgrade with the new firefox 4. it removed our old firefox and replaced it with firefox 4. Now we get a message that our system does not support the new firefox. All our bookmarks settings are gone. Please advise.

When we tried to open firefox 4, all previous settings and bookmarks were gone. Firefox 4 gives message that it is not supported by our system. IMAC G5 power PC with 2 gigs of Ram. Is there any way to restore the old firefox?

Hi everyone,
Many of you have had problems with Spotify for Mac OS X 10.5. We no longer support Spotify on this operating system which we announced back in November here as a "heads up".
However, we've noticed that many folks have been updating regardless which should not be the case. Our intention was to let anyone using Mac OS X10.5 continue using a "legacy" version of Spotify. In any case, the folks who were using 10.5 were updated, and in many cases these customers have experienced crashes with the newest version of the application (Spotify version 0.8.8. at the time of writing).
To make a long story short, we messed up in updating folks who should not have been updated and we're sorry. We plan on fixing the problem of Spotify updating to the latest version for Mac OSX 10.5 users and we're working on it as I write this. If you're a person who has already upgraded and the application is crashing, we're looking into a solution and we hope to have an update shortly.
Warm regards from your humble community manager,
Rorey

I have an ipod touch and just updated my software to ios 7.1.2. Now I get the message that my adapter, accessory does not support my device. Is there a new adapter that I need to buy that works with the ios 7.1.2?

i have an ipod touch and just updated my software to ios 7.1.2. Now I get the message that my adapter, accessory does not support my device. Is there a new adapter that I need to buy that works with the ios 7.1.2?

This is not my problem. However, I think it may be related to an old speaker. I was using the 30 pin adapter for about a week after the upgrade to 7.1.2. But I think with the update the speaker won't work anymore. I will try with a new speaker system. Thank you for trying to assist.

Anyone get a message saying ipad can not be activated because the activation server is unavailable?

anyone get a message saying ipad can not be activated because the activation server is unavailable?

4 possible causes for that error message:
1] Activation server is actually down. Very rare occurrence, and of short duration when it
does happen. Solution - try again.
2] Your firewall and/or antivirus software are preventing the necessary connection. Solution -
temporarily disable your firewall and/or antivirus software until the activation completes.
3] computer being used for activation has been used to jailbreak an iOS device in the past.
Solution - use a different computer.
4] iPad has been jailbroken. Google may provide some direction, but jailbreaks often prevent
updates from succeeding. Per Terms of Use for this forum, discussion of jailbroken iPads is
prohibited.

Are you running one of the beta versions of iOS 7?
Has the iPhone been jailbroken or modified to work with other
than the original wireless provider?

Hey robertb86490977,
The reason why you are getting this prompt is because you are trying to install an upgrade version.
During the upgrade, you will need to enter serial number twice.
The first time, you need to enter the serial number of the actual product that you have purchased.
The second time, you need to enter serial number for the previous version that you had.
So, please enter serial number of the previous version at the second prompt.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Regards,
Anubha
