  • My ipad is locked up. when I went to itunes to restore, I get a message that it is passcode protected.  How can I enter my passcode if it's locked up?

    my ipad is locked up (i can't slide to unlock). when I went to itunes to restore, I get a message that it is passcode protected.  How can I enter my passcode if it's locked up?

    You'll need to force your iPad into Recovery Mode.  Follow the directions in this link and you may have to try more than once to be successfull.
    Note:  You will lose data, but once back in you can restore from a backup.

    Are you able to start up in Safe Mode?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455?viewlocale=en_US
    If this works you will see the normal desktop Once completely started up in Safe Mode, try to restart normally and go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Click on the top hard drive icon in the left sidebar and note the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom right of the pane. What does it say?
    Select the named boot volume in the left sidebar, ("Macintosh HD" unless it has been renamed). What is the hard drive capacity and how much space remains available on it? Repair permissions on it.
    See if you are able to do a little hard drive maintenance to help things out.

  • My macbook will only turn on to a blue screen  how can i restart it so it turns on to the home screen?

    So last week my macbook froze and wouldn't respond. So i restarted it and now the computer wont turn on past this light blue welcome screen with a thinking sign. Any recommendations?

    That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    Or if you are running 10.7 Lion, boot from the recovery partition (Command +R on boot) and use Disk Utility to repair your OS 10.7 partition.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
    If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

  • How can one share iTunes Library across two machines at the same time?

    **I have setup 1 of 2 machines to host all the songs in my iTunes library. I then went to machine 2 of 2 and held down option key on start up of iTUnes, changed the location of the liobrary on machine 2 to a shared folder on machine 1.**
    **This works awesome and I can use itunes on each of the machines 1 and 2 with no duplicate library in my home.**
    **Problem: I can only run one machine at a time. I can not run itunes on both machines at the same time. The error message from machine 2 is ITUNES library is locked and cant write to the folder. iTunes works correct if I QUIT iTunes on machine 1.**
    **Can iTunes run at the same time on 2 machines and access the same library?**
    *Thank You Troy*

  • How can I add an icon for a contact to the home screen?

    New to iPhone and can't find a way to add a shortcut/icon for an individual contact to the home screen. I have looked in the user's guide and searched the web but no luck other than suggestions to download some type of app. This function has been available on two different Android phones I've used the past several years. Surely the iPhone has this capability???

    That is not a standard feature on the iPhone. There are many features available on one and not the other.

  • I am getting error message windows saying "ininstall set" constantly. How can I fix this problem

    When I opened Firefox4 today it opened with an add-on page and an error message box with an exclamation point saying "uninstall set". I can do nothing in Firefox until I close these windows. This seems to occur on things that can be clicked on to open information.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    [email protected] your address? and [email protected] one of the recipients? 204.12.168.252 was prob. your IP (at that time)?
    It sounds like your email provider could have got a denial from gmail because the amount of emails to them made them suspicious.

  • How can i completely remove a guest account? from the login screen too?

    Having difficulty removing my guest account. I've gone to system preferences and unchecked the guest account but it still appears upon computer boot up as an option. I want it completely off and not showing on the screen when turned on.

    On your login screen, that's not a true "Guest" account. It's actually a security feature..your Mac will restart to a secured Safari-only version of the OS with access to the Internet...this enables you to find your Mac using iCloud. Thus, this should NOT be disabled.
