I can't unlock the screen to access my macbook pro. When I enter the password it just jiggles. I'm not getting an error message, so I'm pretty certain that the password is correct. Any suggestions?

I already checked that one.
I'm baffled, especially since it will usually give you the Invalid user name or password entered message. I'm not getting that. Instead the password field just jiggles back and forth. Very odd.

I want to back up an Iphone 3G and put all the content into Iphone 4. When Iphone 4 is connected to Itunes I do not get an Option to restore from Iphone 3G. IOS 3G - 4.2.1

I want to back up an Iphone 3G and put all the content into Iphone 4. After I have backed up the Ipone 3G and then when Iphone 4 is connected to Itunes I do not get an Option to restore back up from Iphone 3G. The only devive is see in the drop down list is my Iphone 4. The IOS on Iphone 3G is 4.2.1 and on Iphone 4 is 4.1.
Please share if anyone has any solution to such a problem.

You will first have to update your iPhone 4 in order to restore it from the backup of your 3G. Follow the directions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
This is an erase/restore deal, so make sure all of your data is on your computer before you begin. iOS 6.1.2 will be installed on your iPhone 4.
Once done, on your iPhone 4: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. You'll now be able to restore your 3G backup to your iPhone 4.

HT1937 I used to have verizon as my phone carrier. But I don't no more. It's been more 5 months that I don't. I want to start using my iPhone 4 with a prepaid plan. Is that possible. Verizon said I'm not longer listed as their customer.

Verizon offers prepaid service on the iPhone 4. Go into your local Verizon Store with your phone. I'm sure they'll be happy to set you up with service.

HT1296 I am trying to sync contacts from my iPhone to Mac. When I plug in my iPhone, I do not get the Info tab in iTunes (as mentioned in how to sync on this website). How can I get the info tab to appear?

I am trying to sync contacts from my iPhone to Mac. When I plug in my iPhone, I do not get the Info tab in iTunes (as mentioned in how to sync on this website). How can I get the info tab to appear?

Since the release of Mavericks (OS X 10.9) syncing contacts and calendars with a Mac via iTunes is no longer supported. The currently supported method is via iCloud. Setup instructions: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

Merging iphone contacts with my computer address book

Hi all,
I'm new at this so please forgive this basic question. I have far more contacts on my iphone than on my computer and I'd like to send them over and merge them. Help....
Thanks,
Paul

Hello prjacobs
As long as you have at least 1 contact in Address Book on the Mac/PC then you can connect the iPhone.
In the info tab automatically it should be set to Sync with address book if there is a check mark in the box asking it to do so. If you have a Windows PC then you will need to pull the pull down tab down and choose the application that has your contacts.
Once this is done, press Apply and or Sync. You should get a message asking to merge, choose merge.
If you get a message stating a 5% Sync alert read it carefully.
There will be three things to look for "Add, Modify,Delete" Adding means the number of contacts that will be added to the program.
Modify means the number of contacts that seem similar and need to know which one has latest info.
Delete means you will loose contacts that you may of deleted off the iPhone and they exist in address book and thus will be removed.
Your delete number should typically always be 0. Sometimes might be 1 to 5.
Remember you can not sync contacts to Mac/PC if you are using Mobile Me Syncing of Contacts via the cloud or using Exchange. These have to be turned off if you want to sync directly from iPhone to PC/MAC.
You can always turn it back on once the program is updated and sync normally with Exchange/Cloud again later.

TS2776 iPhone 5, Outlook 2013, Windows 7.0 64-bit. Every time I connect my phone to my computer via USB, iTunes opens with the "accept our terms and service" then deselects the boxes checked under the INFO tab to sync my calendars, contacts...help?

I am connecting my iPhone 5 to my Windows computer via USB. This should open iTunes and start the sync process. Instead of iTunes opening, I get the iTunes service agreement to which I must agree. Then iTunes opens and begins to back up my phone. It is syncing my photos and music (although the music thing is another nightmare), but under the "info" tab in iTunes, the boxes of which functions I want to sync are no longer selected. Hence the computer and the phone are not sharing information. When I select the functions I want to sync, I must either replace or merge. If I replace, I lose the information I recently put into my phone. If I choose to merge, then I have duplicates of everything.
How can I resolve this problem? Why is iTunes acting like it doesn't know my phone?
I'm using an iPhone 5 iOS 6.1.4, Windows 7 64-bit, Outlook 13, and the must current version of iTunes (because I've removed and reinstalled it twice already).
Thanks for any help!

After you'd run the Configure Classic instance did you run in the statement as stated in 'Oracle® Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) Part Number E10421-05'?
java -classpath ORACLE_HOME_DIR\discoverer\lib\disco-config.jar;ORACLE_HOME_DIR\oui\jlib\OraInstaller.jar;ORACLE_HOME_DIR\opmn\lib\iasprovision.jar -Djava.library.path=ORACLE_HOME_DIR\oui\lib\win32 oracle.disco.install.config.DiscoUtil -oraclehome ORACLE_HOME_DIR -tnsadmin TNS_ADMIN_DIR
I've completed an installation with the same steps (although I ran the config.bat file in as_1/bin rather than from the program files list and also I've the jrockit jdk installed)
I've found that this fails with the error;
INFO: This tool works only on Windows Platform. Exiting the program
Which is strange considering this is Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit
DISCO is running in the EM console but the URLs (as defined in the installation summary report) do not resolve properly. I was just interested to hear if you're installation was the same, this isn't the first installation I've done, they've all had a similar issue

Then something is setup incorrectly, which version of OSX are you on, and is this an iCloud mail address (@mac, @me or @icloud)
From your description of the issue I suspect that it is Outlook that is incorrectly setup.

My texts have stoipped getting through to one of my contacts. I can phone him and I can receive his calls and messages. I am the only one of his contacts whose texts are not getting through. We have both restarted our iphones but the problem continues.

Have you talked to your carrier (or your friend to his)? Could be an issue at their end.

After reinstalling MAC OS 10.6.8, config the permissions to read/write/no access, my MacMini [mid 2010] refuses to reboot. I tried to reboot in safe mode with fsck, but after the steps to be taken, it says fscs not done, root device is read only

After reinstalling MAC OS 10.6.8, I config the permissions to read/write/no access, my MacMini [mid 2010] refuses to reboot. I tried to reboot in safe mode with Command+S and fsck, but after the steps to be taken, it says fscs not done, root device is read only. I also tried to bypass the Mac firmware password by taking one Ram card out and reboot the macmini while holding COMMAND+OPTION+P+R. But no luck. The macmini is not able to see the mac OSX installation CD.
Please help ??

How and where did you change which permissions? And what was the goal?
Do you have a complete backup of your system? and more importantly data files?
What happened that prompted the need to reinstall the 10.6.8 update?
The immediate road forward would be to boot from the optical drive and revert the changes you made.
What happens when you boot with the install cd and hold down C or hold down the option key?

Do you mean it said to contact iTunes? If it says either one of those then you need to call apple support, and get them to look at your account.

I was trying to clean up my desktop, and inadvertently switched all my icons on my desktop. When I click on file a, file b opens and so on, regardless of the extension type. Is there any way to fix this?

I use
Chronosync (http://www.econtechnologies.com/pages/cs/chrono_overview.html)
and
Dropbox (https://www.dropbox.com/)
Both work very well. The former I use for manual, one-way synchroniziation of (nearly) entire systems. The latter for automatic syncing of very active directories through local and shared online storage.

I cannot sync my iPhone contact list and calendar information. When I hook up my iPhone to my Mac, there is no 'INFO' tab????

I have restarted the computer and phone repeatedly. I have all the tabs at the top except for the 'INFO' tab. Neither is it under options. The calendar and my contact list does not sync. Help!
