IMessage wont work no matter what I try. HELP!!

Hi. I recently got a new iphone 5s as an upgrade from my old 4s. I cant get my iMessage to turn or facetime to work. I have tried resetting network settings and also using apple id for facetime and imessage but the same message pops up "An error occurred during activation. Try again." I have also contacted my network provider (Vodaphone) but they are still not able to help me and say that this is a fault at apples end....??. Can anybody help me with this issue? Many thanks.

There are many threads on this forum by people with the same issue. If you look over here on the right ---> at the "More like this" box, you can find them and possibly see some solutions that have worked for others. Best of luck to you.

My itunes 7 wont load. no matter what i do.HELP i need music.

When i click to open itunes 7, it does not load.
Well, what it does do is load yet it doesn't show up in anywhere but the [task manager(TM)]. Since, i open the TM
and i see all my processes itunes is one of them and then i try to end the process and it wont work. the only thing i can to to close the process of itunes in the TM is turn off or reset my comp.
It is irritating as i have had this issue a few times before with version 6, but i just attributed to it to me closing a process or having too much open at once...since, that was usually the case.
Now its happening for no reason, as itunes will be the only thing i try to run. so if anyone has a similar issue and fixed it or has input. it is appreciated.

i've seen that symptom before.
a preliminary question aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits: by any chance, do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on that PC?

My iphone will not connect to wifi no matter what i try.HELP

my iphone will not connect to wifi no matter what HELP

Have you tryed to restore the iPhone too ?
Restore the phone in iTunes using a backup, and if needed as a new iPhone, without using a backup. However, the greyed out WiFi is often due to a hardware failure requiring replacement of the phone.

IMessage won't work no matter what I try?

I have an iPhone 4s, just upgraded to iOS 6.1.3. My iMessage has stopped working for a few days.
1) It is turned on and activated.
2) It won't work with any other iPhones I attempt to iMessage.
3) I have a stable internet and cellular connection.
4) Send as SMS is off but still sends as green instead of blue.
5) yes I tried restarting my phone
6) yes i have changed dns to 8.8.8.8.8 or whatever,
This is very annoying, I have an iPhone for iMessaging not texting, I tried everything and nothing is working.

iMessage is temporarily down: http://apple.com/support/systemstatus/

Exporting XML from PP CS6 to Resolve. Doesn't work no matter what we try!

My colorist and I have been pulling our hair out trying to figure out how to get this project into Resolve. I am running the latest version of PP Cs6 on a Windows PC. Edited the feature in native R3D format, 4.5k, everything was smooth as silk. I prepped the project by breaking it into 20 minute reels, removing all effects and speed changes, collapsing it down to 2 video tracks and 1 audio tracks and exporting an XML.
Colorist is running the newest build of Resolve 9 on a Mac and tried to open the XML but it doesn't work. It only shows one clip on the timeline and nothing else. I tried exporting an EDL and it loads a ton of stuff in, but the clips are not right and seem to be the whole takes. He has tried to open in FCP to remake the XML, but it won't open there either. I even tried finding and replacing all the .R3D file extensions in the XML to "_M.MOV" to make it use the proxies instead but no dice.
Is there any way to make this work? I feel like people go from Premiere to Resolve all the time with no hassle. Since we're both using the latest builds I am wondering where the hangup is. I feel like its within Premiere but I don;t know what to mess around with at this point.
Any assistance is appreciated!

I wrestled with that for about 20 hours before getting it.
Here's some of my code:    makeButton("Refresh Table",northP,
    new ActionListener()
      public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e)
        updateTable();
public void updateTable()
    ch.sendShowAll();
    model.handleServerMessages();
    model.fireTableDataChanged();
/////////////////////This worked for me.
Both these methods occur in the JFrame class that displays the table. I pass the table
model to the JFrame constructor. In the above code, the model object is an instantiation
of the class that extends AbstractTableModel, with the methods getElementAt(), getRowCount(), and getColumnCount().
If you post some of your code,I'll try to help.

Web services wont work no matter what i do

got a new laserjet MFP M127FW and everything thus far works except eprint.
IF i can get it to enable, it only does so after i reboot (power cycle) the printer.
if i try and enable it via the web management it will never say it was enabled, it just clocks (spinning icon that says connecting)
then SOMETIMES the web interface will say its enabled and SOMETIMES i can see the randomly generated email it gives me, BUT it only lasts for about 5 minutes then Web Services disables itself again.
i have forwarded everyport listed in this forum and the how to created by someone here.
I have even put the printer in the DMZ - still doesnt work.
N-O-T-H-I-N-G is making Web services work... period.
I have flashed the firmware to the latest (did that right out of the box)
there is nothing left for me, as the user to do... eprint/web services is broken. period.
i saw someone state that the code that is supposed to print is the name in the randomly generated email you are given.
and i tried to use that to register the unit on hpconnect but it just says "unexpected error"
also when i try to do things from the lcd screen, such as print information sheet, enable/disable web services, view email, it just clocks (never ending spinning icon.. i left it like that overnight and it never stopped.
IF i am fast enough and see the randomly generated email in the Web GUI, and then try to use the LCD to print the code, or do anything aside from via email, (which it does display if the web gui shows it) it says the services are unavailable
once again, i have spent the last 2 days, totalling over 10 hours trying to make this work and IF it is enabled, i think it is just a false positive, even though the random email does display it doesnt work and then within 5 minutes, web services disables itself again.
I am not some average user, i am a 20yr veteran of PC/MAC/Networking, and i have never seen a printer do this that wasnt flat out broken.
but since this is the only thing not working, thus far, i believe it to simply be a firmware issue.
lastly.... when trying to enable the web services the NIC lights on the back of the printer are blinking 100% nonstop, forever and ever.. until i power cycle it.
its as if the web services is locked up or stuck in a loop.
also restore defaults from the LCD or web GUI doesnt do anything... nothing is changed... and i am never presented with the initial startup like one would expect.
is there a way to force the printer to an out of the box state where it flushes anything and everything back to a factory state? (where i have to go through the initial setup again ?
p.s.
network settings are fine, i can print to the printer from ipads, iphone, pc's and 2 MAC's.. so everything on the network side works... just not Web services
This question was solved.

I was able to talk to a fantastic tech in cloud services who remembered a nun documented fix

Ichat Screen Sharing will not work no matter what I try...

I have read all the forums and can't find an answer. Something that should be so simple such as screen sharing through iChat (as advertised) is virtually impossible. This I can not explain. Especially since video chat works!
Both computers in question here are macbooks, both have leopard, both are or wireless networks. Is the router blocking the connection and if so, why will it allow video chat but not screen sharing?
There is either something real simple that I am missing here, or this is not possible at all.
some things that i have tried:
disabling stealth mode
on the firewall, enabling incoming traffic from ichat
made sure screen sharing is enabled in ichat
made sure the settings were the same on the remote apple computer
tried unchecking everything in the sys pref "sharing"
Both of the parties involved are using the same ISP, this really is mind boggling.
Is this a bug that is being fixed or what? I am not trying to perform a miracle here, but this is getting ridiculous.
If this is a router issue, apple should release some documentation on how to configure ichat screen sharing through your router.
If anyone has had this problem and has a fix, I would love to hear it. Keep in mind I have googled this many times and tried just about every piece of advice that I could find on this.
Thanks

iChat Screen sharing does not as such for the screen bit use the Video/Audio port.
The Documentation was lacking last time I looked.
This one tells you the port changes in Leopard http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306688 compared to Tiger
Tiger is linked in the first to here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93208 where most of the other ports are.
However Screen sharing was not part of iChat 3.
If you do a Quick Look at the .plist(s) you will see the reference to ARD which is Apple Remote Desktop which is what the screen ending part is based on.
This Doc will tell you which ports ARD is likely to use
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106439
(It says 5900 and 5988)
This should be allowed through the use of UPnP in your routing device or specifically opened.
Now the not so good news.
I run Little Snitch, A utility that tells you ports and IPs of incoming and outgoing network connections by any app you have.
This has told me that in fact the Screen port seems almost completely random normally in the 50000 range of ports
It may not be all you wnat to hear but I hope it helps.

HELP! My mac won't work no matter what I try!

Hello,
So I was in disk utility and I formatted my bootcamp HDD instead of my Windows backup HDD, and windows 8.1 (bootcamp) was selected as my default boot disk. So every time when I boot it takes me to a windows recovery screen. It has the error
Error code: 0xc000000f
I have tried plugging in a windows recovery that I have on my windows back up HDD but when I press F8 to use it (the backup)
the screen blinks and goes back to the original screen.
I have tried internet recovery, verbose mode, safe mode, disk selector and none of it works, it always goes back to the windows recovery screen. I need a way to get back to OS X or disk utility to fix this all. I have a MacBook Pro so if thee is anything that can help with to get my iMac working again tell me. Please if anyone has any idea how to fix this please tell me, I have exams and I need it to study plus I have no money so sending it to apple is no option.
Thanks again,
Dave

Reboot, at the sound of the startup chime press and hold the option key, when the startup manager appears release the key and tell us what choices are offered to boot from.

I have Windows 2003 XP and I cannot get Firefox 4 to work, no matter what I try. Suggestions?

When I install FF4, the search bar and Firefox (larger) icon appear above the search box, but there is absolutely no text on the screen whatsover. I can type in an entry, and the text in the search box does appear, but when I click the "go to" arrow or press <Enter> nothing happens. The screen is completely static. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling FF4, to no avail...finally, I found 3.6.13 online and reinstalled it, so I can use this browser, but cannot upgrade to 4.0. I have never had this kind of issue when upgrading FF before.

Try going to Firefox 4 Safe Mode and see if it works http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode
If it works go here http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting%20extensions%20and%20themes#w_disable-all-extensions
Find the faulty extension, disable it, find a substitute or wait for an upgrade.

How can I open PDF files in Firefox? Nothing works no matter what I try. Other browsers open them fine.

When trying to open PDF file, screen just stays white and no content is seen. Status says "Done". PDF files will open with no problem in internet explorer, safari, and chrome. Nothing in Firefox which is my preferred browser.

I have heard that trying to use Leopard with AppleWorks can cause a corruption of the hard drive. Is this true?
No, not at all. AppleWorks actually runs better in Leopard on both my PPC & Intel Macs than it did in Tiger. I have found AppleWorks to be faster & more stable in Leopard on an Intel than any other system I've used.
I repaired permissions (both before and after installing Leopard) and have also dumped AppleWorks preference file, then restarting all to no avail.
There are more than one AppleWorks preferences to delete. Only deleting the .plist or just the files in the AppleWorks folder in Preferences will not work. They must all be deleted at the same time. Take a look at this user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly.
Deleting the preferences often fixes printing problems. Also, make sure you have the newest driver for your printer from the manufacturer's web site.
I did install Leopard as an update rather than wiping my HD and doing a new install. Should I delete AppleWorks and all associated files and reinstall AppleWorks and reinstall Leopard from scratch?
Possibly. I chose to do erase & install with migrating users & data for all of my Macs. I did try the upgrade with the MacBook Pro & it was a disaster with failure to start up after installing Leopard. I was willing to take the chance because everything on my MacBook Pro is on my desktop Mac.

HT201210 I updated my 1Pad2 software yesterday as requested. Now airtime, and sync do not work no matter what I try. This is very frustrating.

My microphone doesn't work no matter what I try

To be frank I never heard of laptop with camera and without a mic. Can you tell me your exact model number? You can test it by going to windows recording devices (after you disconnect your new mic) then eanble all disabled devices and see if there is a metter active when you talk. If something is moving, then you got your built-in mic.

If your mic was working fine on previous versions of Skype and is working fine in other programs (such as Windows Sound Recorder or other communication software) then try this solution I've posted on another thread: I had similar problem. It looks like in new Skype "Automatic mic control" option breaks stuff. I resolved this by manually deleting the "Skype" folder that contains user settings: C:\Users\your_profile_name\AppData\Roaming\Skype (in Win7) After that you run Skype, provide login and password once more (since old profile was deleted). Go to audio options and DO NOT USE automatic volume control on your mic, as it will break things again and you will have to repeat whole thing. Thank you, I have tried for a very long time to fix my mic. It was very frustrating. You nailed it...uhm. where and how do i get to "audio options" if you mean tools>options>general settings>audio there is nothing called "automatic volume control" unless you mean "automatically adjust microphone settings" i unchecked that and my mic is still broken..

HT201210 my iphone 4 wont update, no matter what i try

I'vw tried getting the new ios 7 update, but nothing works for my iphone 4. What should I do?

Just have to give it some time. The download, activation, and verification servers are all slammed right now 'cause of all the people trying to update at the same time. Give it a couple hours (or overnight if you can wait) and it should sort itself out.
