    Go to Settings/General/Reset - Erase all content and settings. the connecto to iTunes and restore as a New phone. Do not restore any backup. If the problem persists you have a hardware problem. Take it to Apple for exchange.
    This assumes that the phone is not hacked or jailbroken. If it is you will have to go elsewhere on the internet for help.

    I'm not sure I can make sense of this but without asking too many questions, you can resolve your question by contacting iTunes direct.

    But they will be wondering about the reference to hacking and you feeling bad about getting something for free.
    Best step in my view is to make sure you don't get similarly involved in future.  You must know roughly what you were doing.   Then writie it off to a not to be repeated experience.

  • I have Premier Elements 12 and recently changed my computer to an iMac. I want to re-register my software on the iMac but the Adobe system won't let me. Anyone have an answer? Cheers Brian

    I did not see your post 4 until after I had posted just now.
    That is one of the drawbacks related to purchasing Premiere Elements as a download from Adobe...the download is specific to the Windows or Mac operating system to which it is downloaded. So all you have purchased that way are the installation files and a serial number for Premiere Elements 12 Windows. If you had purchased Premiere Elements 12 in the box packaging, that comes with a disc for Windows and a disc for Mac.
    How long ago did you purchase Premiere Elements 12 Windows? If within 30 days of purchase, you can look into a 30 day money back from Adobe. But you cannot purchase the box packaging from Adobe. It only offers the download purchase from it. You would have to buy from an authorized reseller if you wanted the boxed purchase.
    The way it is now, you will need to purchase new installation files and serial number for Premiere Elements 12 for your iMac.
    That is the situation that I believe exists. More information if needed.

  • TS1702 I downloaded from the Apps.store a game named 'Ninja Run'. When I was playing this game, I got out and then received a message,'"Do you want to buy 5 revivals for Rs.170/-?". When I clicked the "Buy"

    I downloaded from the Apps.store a game named,"Ninja Run". When I was plkaying the game, I got out and a message appeared, asking me whether I would like to buy 5 revivals for Rs.170/-. When I hit the,"Buy"button, I was asked to confirm my Credit card details. I confirmed it and was asked to enter the Security Code. When I did so,, a message appeared telling me that the Security Code was invalid and the purchase could not be completed. When I continued the game and got out again, the message appeared again asking me whether I wanted to buy. Thinking that my purchase was not completed, I again hit the,"Buy" button. Nothing happened. I continued the game and when I got out, I received the same message and obliged accordingly. This went on for three or more times. By this time,however I got confused and quit the game. All these things happened on 6th September 2013. The next day,I was shocked to see 5 receipts from the Apple Apps.store in the In Box of my email account,each for Rs.170/-
    totalling Rs850/. Worse still, when I played the game the next day and got out and asked for a revival, would you believe it, I was again asked whether I would like to buy 5 revivals for Rs.170/-.
    Thus,I ended up buying a game for Rs.850/- while the actual price is only Rs.170/-,and not even able to play the full game.
    Could anyone please tell me whether I can get a refund of Rs.680/-,the extra amount I  paid for this game.
    I will be much thankful to anyone who can guide me and help me claim the refund. Thank everyone.

  • App store won't let me download anything because I got a new apple ID?

    So I'm moving out soon and I've been sharing my apple ID with my parents. They wanted me to create my own account, so I did and it was going fine until I accidentally deleted the Twitter app on my phone. When I went to go download it again, it acted as if I was redownloading a purchase. But because I was using a different account on my phone, it said I wasn't authorized to download the app.
    I know I should have made my own apple ID when I first got my phone, but my parents didn't want me to, and now I'm really stuck. I can't update ANY of my apps or download things that I did on my other account. Is there any way I can like reset my phone without losing anything or am I just stuck like this?
    Thanks,
    Amanda

  • I would like to AirPlay mirror my iMac and be able to use both my magic mouse and wireless keyboard, but the bluetooth range won't let me. Is there a way to extended its range?

    I am buying an iMac to AirPlay mirror on my big screen TV with AppleTV (2nd generation). But my TV is located far away from my iMac and I won't be able to use my magic mouse or wireless keyboard via bluetooth connection. I know I can use an app to simulate both mouse and keyboard, but I really need to use the actual devices.  
    I wish there was a way to pair them to my iPad or iPhone, via bluetooth, and control my iMac via network. It is a cheap solution, as I wouldn't need to buy any other device. I believe all these devices, without modifications, have enough technology to be able to work as I've imagined. The only need was to adapt the software.
    Is there a solution simple as this one, or do I have to buy a Bluetooth extender in order to use my magic mouse and wireless keyboard? If so, which BT extender do you suggest and what is its range?
    Thank you!

    If you are still under warranty, contact Apple to get it serviced. You can also visit an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get it looked at.

    And you set the criteria to

    I tried it, but couldn't get it to work. I think I had trouble with the Rule. I put a Rule in as follows: Data added in the last five hours? I added music (data) but nothing appeared in my Smart Playlist. Oh yes - I named the playlist: Recently Added.
    What did I do wrong? Is it necessary to have a question mark at the end of the Rule? I couldn't find anything on how to create a Smart Playlist in Help. There is stuff in there, but it does not go into much detail, i.e., nothing on the proper wording of the Rule.

  • Why won't my itunes account work for the app store on my imac?

    I just got my mom's imac, which has her itunes account linked to the app store. 
    My personal itunes account is logged in in and working in itunes, but when i attempt to log into the app store, it says "Your device or computer could not be verified".
    What's up??

    Thanks for the help. 
    I just spoke with an apple rep and they walked me through a ton of stuff. 
    Ended up restarting a couple times they had me move the file "com.apple.appstore.plist"  from Library/Preferences to my desktop and restart. 
    Then, logging in worked.
    Thanks again!

  • After upgrading to Mountain Lion, Safari on my iMac and my MBA is showing mobile websites

    While using the Safari browser on my iMac today, I was redirected to the mobile version of a website repeatedly.  Just to see if it was something specific to my iMac, I tried the same website on my MBA and it did the same thing.  Both have been upgraded to Mountain Lion.  The website in specific is the www.audiusa.com website and I clicked on the Q5 link at the top.  Can someone else please try this and let me know what happens?  Also, if anyone has any ideas how to prevent this it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    I get the same thing. It works on other versions of Safari. I spoke to Audi USA today and the lady there was very emphatic that it must work as it works on her Mac at home. I asked if she had upgraded to Mountain Lion and she said no.
    So it would appear that Audi website logic is something along the lines of - if safari browser variant unknown then assume mobile.
    Audi USA lady noted my input. I did not get the impression that she believed me.

  • Hi I am a new iMac user. I got my iTunes on here finally, but now it is telling me I haven't authorized my computer? When I ask @ the app. store- no answers... What did I miss?

    You need to Open iTunes and then click on Store in the Menu Bar.
