Ipad disabled says its locked and my mac won't open with the steps given
I cannot get my friends ipad to sync with anything. It says its disabled and he doesn't know the password from the person he bought it from. He doesn't have a computer and I'm on a mac. I followed the steps given in the manuals section but it still will not work nor will it open in itunes.
Thank You

There is absolutely nothing that you can do to help. If he cannot contact the previous owner and get him to unlock/erase the device, your friend has a useless brick on his hands. There is no other way of unlocking the iPad.

My Ipod nano says its locked and screens on and it's staying frozen. I have tried pressing the menu and select button simultaneously and still not reset. What should I do?
Right click on the iPod Nano icon. "Eject" should pop up. At least that is the way it works on Macs.

My mum can't access her account. It says its locked and asked for her security questions, but she can't remember what they are. How do we access her account?

That message means that you have to restore the iOS software because something went wrong. Follow the instructions here. I hope that you have a backup.

I run Tiger OSX on one MacBook and SnowLeopard on another. Photos were downloaded from Tiger to SnowLeopard, and now iPhoto won't open on the Tiger Mac. Will upgrading iPhoto fix this problem?
What matters is the version of iPhoto you have on the different machines. Can you tell us what they are, and what exact error message you get.

I deleted adobe and now files won't open with preview automatically like they use to. How do I fix this?
I think you solved my problem! Upon following your advice, I first got a message that I had not allowed a connection to the Tax dept computers, which would prevent the file I need to fill out from being e-filed. I proceeded to then open the file at the top of which was a security banner at which I chose the site as safe. I then filled in the first line of the form which autofilled other lines telling me I was connected with the tax site. In a few days when I have the data I need, I will actually attempt to file the return. If there is a problem, I will send another message. Thanks so much for your assistance!

Updated to maverick and my mac won't open
I just updated my mac with maverick and now it won't open
Hi Barney,
After startup, the computer stops responding and display's only gray screen with the Apple logo & spinning globe.
I have restarted the computer several times with the same result.
I contacted apple support & they instructed me to restart the computer and hold down certain keys (ctrl,options?, P & R) this brought up a dialouge box and I selected fix OS.
This didn't fix the problem, and the apple help person advised my OS may be corrupted & I need to back up my stuff onto an external hard drive & then they will reinstall the OS.
I am not particularly computer savvy and this 'glitch' in the maverick download has really f*cked me off as I cant work from home until I buy an external hard drive and get it sorted......
That's is my whinge..... -
I did an APPLE update today and now my itunes will not open. It give an error message of corrupted. What can I do to open it?? The message was still he same when I plugged in my ipod. This happens with almost every update. Thanks.
See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. Use the steps in the second box to repair your iTunes installation. Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup advice elsewhere in the user tip.

IPhoto won't open with the new Mac update
I just installed the new update for my desktop mac. iPhoto now wont open and there is a big circle with a line through it over the icon. When I try to open this application it says "you can not open iphoto because it is not supported on this type of mac" I have had my mac for over 2 years and use iPhoto everyday. Any help?
iPhoto versions older than 9.5.1 are incompatible with Mavericks. Version 9 or later should be eligible for a free upgrade to the current version in the App Store. Versions older than 9 will need a paid upgrade.

Please help me, this is really upsetting. I really would like my Itunes to work. The message that pops up is saying that it will only transpher purchased items and I downloaded a lot of CDs so if you can please help me it would be lovely.
Define crash?
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
If you've wiped your computer/bought a new one...
You should be able to:
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I used the knowldge document and set it up to transfer my Outlook contacts to the iphone using itunes.
In contacts on the iphone I only see the email addresses.
Yet in Outlook I have email, snail mail and phone numbers.
I followed the knowledge document from iphone.
I did it once, didn't work so deleted all the contacts from the phone and tried again. Same result. I have a PC using Windows 7 64 bit.You can't access an Exchange account via ActiveSync with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac.
You can access a MM account with Outlook on your PC at work and keep your MM email account server stored mailboxes synced between your PC at work, your iPhone, and the MM "cloud". Not sure about syncing MM contact info and calendar events with Outlook at the same time with an Exchange account.
This will not provide for syncing your Exchange account contact info and calendar events with the Addresss Book and iCal on your Mac because the accounts are separate.
You can access an Exchange account and a MM account at the same time with the iPhone's mail client, and sync contact info and calendar events over the air with both accounts at the same time. You can view combined contact info or separately for each account, and the same for calendar events. -
My phone ran out of iCloud storage. After a week I did an iTunes backup then bought more iCloud storage and now it won't back up with the iCloud.
Do you have sufficient storage now? And did you turn on iCloud backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup?

every time i save my credit card info in my account on ITunes, it shows as saved and as soon as I go to buy something, it says I have no credit card on file and starts over again.
I don't mind having my card info on there but now I can't download anything and it's frustrating. All it ask for is the card security number and when I put it in it says it's invalid. So now while I'm trying to delete it, it just won't let me. The visa part stays checked all the time and I can't unmarked it. I tried to just erase the card number and security code and stuff but it says I have to have it filled in. Do you know how I can check to see if it says I owe money?
