Just got an 8830 from a friend and can't setup email
A friend gave me a used 8830 today. I have switched it to my number but I am not able to set up email. I think it is because I cannot register a new username/password with the phone's PIN/ESN. It says the device has already been registered. However, I do not know the username/password (and won't be able to find it out). Any suggestions? Is there a way to reset the username/password associated with this PIN/ESN?
Thanks.
Usually the previous owner has to contact the carrier to release the PIN from their system. I don't think that if you call Verizon (or whoever the previous carrier was) that they'll let you do that yourself. Can the person you got the phone from contact the carrier for you?

How are you attempting to connect? DSL or cable modem? Do you have a router? If so, what make and model? -
I got my iPad from my friend and he done a full restore before I got it, but know that I have put my iCloud account on here I have contacts and his too. How can I fix this problem? !!!!!
As I said in the other thread that you posted in the other forum, your friend clearly has not restored the iPad correctly. I suggest that you undertake another restore and start again.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Given what you've have described, your friend cannot have restored the iPad correctly. You need to decide whether you are willing to delete his contacts manually, or carry out another restore. Personally I think I would go for the restore. -
i got an ipod from a friend and i tryed to start it up and it is stuck on the connect to itunes screen, it wont even pop up on itunes it says i have to put in my password to continue but i cant because it is stuck please help me!!!!!!!
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
i just got my ipod from my dad and he has all of his songs on there from his mac, and so now he gave the ipod to me and i want to put all of the songs on MY computer onto my new ipod and take all of the songs of that my dad originally had.
When you connect the iPod to your computer and go to the Music tab to select which music you want to sync, iTunes will pop up a dialogue box that if you sync your music it will replace the music that is already on the iPod.
Since that sounds like what you want to do, just click ok and then sync. -
I have CS6 and I just got a new Leica D-LUX and can not view my RAW (.RWL) images in Bridge what do I do? I already tried updating Bridge from the Help menu.
Did you use the Migration Assistant to help set up the new iMac using some of the files in the older PC? Some likely won't mean much, unless you have applications that can use or convert them. There's also a way to use the software Time Machine to import data files from an external or another computer, so you may have used that, too.
Hopefully someone with experience in a similar issue will reply...
Good luck & happy computing! -

I just got a fc7 yamaha expression pedal and can't figure out how to configure it with mainstage or logic. I'm using a Gio pedal.
Hi
You will need to map the "Expression Pedal" to the Waa pedal. There are several ways you could do it, here's one:
In Layout Mode, add a Pedal Screen control, and Assign it to the in-coming MIDI from the GiO.
In Edit mode, select the Screen Control, and click the "Map Parameter" button. While this is active click on the Wah pedal in the PedalBoard plugin. Turn off 'Map Parameter".

How can I get itunes to download on my PC. I just got an ipod classic for Christmas and can not get Itunes to download. Website goes to downloaded page but i never get a downloading popup. I even turned off my popup blocker.
Make an appointment at the genius bar.
If you went without an appointment, then it would make sense that you could be turned away. -
We bought a ipad from a friend but she doesnt know the email address or password she used to set it up we have already reset it what can we do now?
Well, a portion of it will appear in the activation screen. It could be enough to jog her memory. She is going to have to reset the password so she can remove the device. If she cannot remove the device from her account, the device is useless to you. If she does not want to try and remove it, then demand your money back. Apple cannot assist you. If however, she purchased the device new, she can take the device and the original sales slip to an actual Apple Store and they may be able to help.

I got an ipod from my friend and
ok so my frined gave me her ipod. so i connected it to my computer and it did the sync thing and i said not to. it will let me add songs to it...and delete all of the previous ones on there. but i want to keep some of the ones she had on there....i do not want to delete them all....so how would i delete some of the songs?
highlight the ipod icon on the left side of the itunes window. when the summary page is displayed, click on the "music" tab. if the "sync music" is checked - uncheck it. this will allow you to manually control your music.
to delete music:
on the upper left corner of itunes is the "library" - click on "music" located just below it. find the song you want to delete and highlight it. now go to the "edit" menu of itunes and drop down to "delete." you will get a message asking if you want to remove the song - if yes, click "remove." read carefully since this option is permanent.
if you want itunes to sync music in the future, go back and check the "sync music."
