I've bought my iPad in may 2010, but I've not had the possibility to use it for personal reasons. last week I opened it and after switching it on I've realized that the screen is not working (I can see just half screen).whut can I do?
I went back to th shop and they want me to pay for a new one cos is no longer guarantee.It's umbelievable that a new iPad doesn't work and Apple doesn't give u back one standing the fact that is a production defect.
Whut can I do?
It may or may not be possible to verify the usage of such a technology device. And where did you get the idea that it costs $10 to manufacture and sell an iPad? I think the parts cost alone was $260, not counting manufacturing, shipping, storage, retail space, salespersons, helpdesk support, all the other overhead costs, etc. etc.
With so many people out there trying to scam the system, it will be an uphill battle to try to convince anyone that you bought it and didn't open the box for 14 months. That's very unusual.
At some point, the store you bought something from (in this case it was Apple) has to say no. What if it had been unopened for 2 years, or five years, or 20 years? This is what the warranty period is all about. It starts on the day you buy it and ends at the end of the warranty period, regardless of usage.
I am sympathetic to your plight but if you are able to get a new iPad (refurbished would be more likely), it will be through the kindness of Apple going above and beyond. If you do not get one, it is not Apple's fault you waited this long and there is no requirement for them to replace it.

After upgrading to OS Mavericks, I realized that the Partition for Windows is gone. I have really important data on this drive without a back up. Is there any way I can get this data before reformatting. Is there any third party software for receiving the data or any possible way? Money is not a limitation to this fix. Please help!!!
sure pretty simple. make a backup of your current settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
then import pics to computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
you may need to save pics to camera roll first
then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

I recently bought an ipad 4 on ebay but original owner didnt remove it from their apple account. Now i cant activate it. Any suggestions?? Thx.
Send it back. That's the activation lock and it's a theft deterrant program. If the seller can't or won't give you that apple ID to unlock it, then you'll never be able to use it (and it's a very real possibility that the ipad wasn't theirs to sell in the first place)

What is the difference between mouton lion, lion, snow leopard? I have an iPad, iPhone and iMac but I have no idea what you would use these for?
Probably. Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before installing it.

For anything beyond that you will have to provide proper technical information about your system.

Greetings,
I hope this email finds you well. I bought my iPhone on December 1st, 2012 with a track order W459517623. When I first bought it, it was meant to use all the services provided by Great Apple including the new LTE service as a main service for such device. Now I just realize that such service does not match with the model I have, as per this link:
http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/
Model A1429
(GSM model)
Saudi Arabia - Mobily
The model Apple sent is A1428
I believe that such service should be provided to my devices too. Also, Apple always find best ways to solve such queries.
Please advise me
Thank you and Regards,
AbdulrahmanI'm assuming you bought it via the Apple Online store. Contact them. Use the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page. Did you buy the phone from the store in the country you intend to USE the iPhone? If you bought the phone in the US store and intend to use it OUTSIDE the US, you only have yourself to blame, as they shipped the CORRECT phone for use in the US.

Video preview not working, I can see only white screen.
Hello, I have been using Adobe Premiere on my Vista64 for a while, but few days ago I started having problems with previewing video. I can see only white screen, which doesnt react on anything I do in premiere (trying to preview movie, add grids etc.) I tried to reinstall many times but only thing I managed after one reinstall was that it started showing me what is on the timeline when I clicked on a timeline, but when I wanted to play preview it was frozen and then it turned white again. Since that it is still white.
Playback in other adobe programs (such as After Effects) works fine on my computer.
Would you please help me to find out what causes this problem and how to fix it? (I doubt it is codecs because it worked fine before and then it suddenly stopped working without any change in codecs...)It may or may not be possible to verify the usage of such a technology device. And where did you get the idea that it costs $10 to manufacture and sell an iPad? I think the parts cost alone was $260, not counting manufacturing, shipping, storage, retail space, salespersons, helpdesk support, all the other overhead costs, etc. etc.

Hi, I was working at home with my iPad, everything was going well. It went out battery and after this I am unable to connect to the wifi at home. Before getting out battery no problem, and now it sees the router signal but it is unable to connect to it.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

I am unable to open a project that I have worked on and saved. I get an error message that the file is damaged and cannot be opened.
Leslie Tanaka
Travel and detours have kept me from following up sooner. If the problem that you wrote about still persists.....
Let us go back over that Adobe document regarding troubleshooting damaged projects.
3. Delete the Application Preferences
Where you able to follow that path and delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file at the end of the path? And, after you did, did the saved/closed programs still refuse to open? If you could not carry out this procedure, what were the limiting factors that kept you from do
7. Test to see if individual media files are causing the problem.
That is an important one. How far did you get into following the instructions given in the document? If you could not complete the test, what was the major block that prevented you from doing so?
I want to make sure that we have gone through everything in that document and ruled all factors there in or out. If it was a matter of you not understanding the instructions, I am hoping that the above will channel you questions to me so that I can clarify anything that you did not understand in the Adobe document instructions.
I do not recall if I asked previously. Even if you cannot open all your saved/closed projects, can you still open a new project and save/close it? Maybe even reopen it?
Please review and consider.
Thank you.

my keynote has frozen and wont open but the saved version wont open either. if i restart my laptop i am afraid that it will erase my work. please help me
Try this repair for Keynote 6.2, ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
1
delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application
2
empty the trash: Finder > Empty Trash
3
Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then power on the Mac, immediately after the start chime, hold down the Shift key
When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in.
Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
4
when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click repair disc permissions
5
when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart
6
install Keynote from the Mac App Store

I try to open Acrobat I get a message that I need to register the product. I click on register and after about a minute, I'm told that I don't have an internet connection. My internet connection is working fine. In fact I registered Acrobat Pro XI using my account, but the program itself will not recognize it or allow me to use the software. What do I do?
If you already registered, then there is no point to trying to do so again. Simply dismiss the dialog.

I am retired. In my active years, I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard and Dreamweaver CS5 for my Windows environment. I recently spent a fortune to migrate to Apple. I now (and a bite late) realize that my licenses are not recognized by Adobe. I am desperate. I cannot afford the expense of buying or paying access to the software and, still, I need the tools for all those little things I do for enjoyment. What can be done?
The licenses are operating system specific, so one option would be to retain use of the Windows machine you had before the Mac.
If you want to try to use the older stuff on your new Mac you can try installing Windows emulation software such as Bootcamp.
