  • Ipod locked and unable to unlock

    i have been having some problems w/ my ipods hard drive. i think i was able to fix the problem but a new one arrived. my ipod is locked and i am unable to unlock it. everything else appears fine but i just can't unlock it. i plugged it into my computer and it synced w/ itunes just fine. so i tried to reset it and toggle the hold button. i tried to reset it w/ the select and menu button. i tried to restore it but that didnt' work either. i was just wondering if there was a way to unlock it through itunes or if there is anything else that i might be able to do to unlock it.
    thanks

    Hi. From what I've learned, you have to restore it, which will erase the hard drive so you better have everything backed up if you want it back. I'm still doing that...have yet to attempt the magical "restore"...if that even works. Did you know that if your warranty is expired, they can charge you $30 bucks to help you...over the phone! Stupid update! Good luck.

  • Lock folder on Mac, unlock on Windows?

    I have a USB flash drive and want to lock a particular folder on the drive. I can use Get Info and select to lock the folder. Accounts on my Mac are listed in the Permissions section. What happens when I want to unlock the folder on a Windows Machine that doesn't have those Permissions? Will it just prompt and I put in the user name/password at that point?
    I tried this on my Mac. When I click Locked, it stays check for only a few seconds before unchecking. So I can never lock. When I click Locked, I can see the USB drive light flicker for a few seconds. Do I need to do something else?

    is the drive formatted FAT? if so the permissions are irrelevant as FAT does not understand unix permissions anyway. however, it does support some (but not all) unix flags including the unchangable flag that is set when you lock a file. however, there seem to be differences in the way flags are set in HFS+ and FAT which lead to some very strange results which I don't understand. I experimented a lot with them a while back with rather weird results.
    when i created a file in OS X and put it on a flash drive i could lock and unlock it without issues both in OS X and windows. no password required. but sometimes (not all the time) some locked files from windows would absolutely refuse to unlock in OS X and some others wold refuse to lock! just as you are seeing. I have no idea what's up with that or what exactly cases this. the bottom line is. if a file refuse to lock or unlock in OS X there is nothing yo can do with it without booting into windows.
    P.S. there have been many posts by others experiencing the same behavior. AFAIK, nobody has fond a way around it.

  • Startup is locked. Unable to unlock

    This happened yesterday as my IMAC G5 Tiger 10.4 is frozen. I powered down and it would get to the end of loading and nothing. It would just sit there and stop. I had no problems with the machine until yesterday. It started when I was in System preferences and hit display and it went to that spinning wheel and would not stop so I powered down. When It re-started it was locked. Blue Screen with the Blue Bar. How do I get the computer back out of this "locked" Posistion?

    Hitribefan1962 , and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Tell us how far you get on this.

  • Skype client locked and unable to unlock it...

    It appears my skype client is locked. I found out by logging into the account. So to recover the account I go through a process (fair enough), but it asks for the beginning and ending credit card numbers. At that point I am like Huh? It is because the credit card I used on Skype does not exist anymore. It is years ago and I have no idea what those numbers are. So off I go to search to for a direct contact to support, and what do I find? NOTHING, NADA, ZIP...
    So how do I contact actual support at Skype?

    Hi, whatevergoes, and welcome to the Community,
    If your account is suspended/locked, believe it or not, create a new Skype account so you can contact Skype Customer Service to recover access to your first account.  Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service

    cheers
    ash

    There is no way out of the problem unless you have previously synced it with a computer. If you Restore the phone on the last computer it synced to it will remove the passcode and restore the contents, but if you don't have access to that computer there is no way to recover the contents of the phone.

  • Unable to unlock folder via "Get Info uncheck Locked"

    Hi, a folder I am trying to remove (stored on the Time Machine hard drive) is for some reason locked, and, I am unable to unlock it by unchecking the Locked check box. It momentarily becomes unchecked, then, half a second later becomes checked/locked again. Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    (Also...quick question: is there a way to add a comments column to files viewed in iTunes, similar to the columns for date, musician, last played, etc....?)

    The folder is on the Time Machine hard drive, the physical drive within the TM Capsule; it is not within the Time Machine backup image.
    I'm using the hard drive of TM Capsule as an external drive accessible by all computers on a wireless network...is this okay??
    Sorry about the confusion. The TM Capsule hard drive has files and folders similar to the following:
    Photos
    Font Library
    computername1_001b6312312322.sparsebundle
    computername2_001b6312311231.sparsebundle
    computername3_001b63121232222.sparsebundle
    PersonalStuff
    SharedStuff
    z_erase
    Inside z_erase I placed the folders I would like to unlock and delete. I cannot move them to the Trash...they came from other folders like PersonalStuff or Photos, not TM sparsebundles.
    Thanks again, sorry about the mixup

  • I don't have a locked folder to unlock it

    Hello,
    My ipod classic 3 generation this morning was on lock, which it has never been since I got it. So I went online and found a way to unlock it. But unfortunately the only way to unlock it is to have a "locked" folder on my ipod which I do not have. How am I suppose to unlock it when the only way to is not there? Please help!!

    I have restored my ipod and tried to restart it, but that doesn't seem to work either.
    I saw online that you are to make your hidden files known and than you delete the locked folder and than my ipod should unlock, is it a lost cause to get it or do I need to get another ipod?

    I've been locked out my MacBook Pro, I was able to lock the MacBook with the find my iPhone app but I'm unable to unlock it with the app or by punching in the code directly to the MacBook, so far the apple store or reps over the phone can not help. I've called a third party retail store for assistance and the tell me I have to pay, even if I get it to work or not... So far nothing these apple "genius" will do to help with this product solution.
    I know my passcode/password but I am not able to log in....
    Is there anyone that can help?

    I would guess the fan is the cause of the noise. Suggest you take a look at it.

  • Photoshop locked in Leopard and unable to unlock

    Since upgrade to leopard I have been having issues opening files and applications, as they are locked. I go to the "Get Info" command in the finder and unlock the file using password etc. I do this by clicking on the padlock and after using my password the padlock opens, then when I go to open PS3 it says it is locked and when I go back in the padlock is locked again....Anyone have any idea how I can unlock this so I can use PS3 and Bridge.
    BTW, I was able to open Bridge, but it crashed and now it is locked and I cannot unlock it......
    Many thanks.

    Just EXACTLY what do you mean by "the applications itself is locked"? Do mean that when you do GetInfo on:
    "/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS/Adobe Photoshop CS.app"
    there is a check mark in the GetInfo panel? And a lock icon on the application? In other words, does it look like this:
    http://homepage.mac.com/francines/.Public/locked.jpg
    If it does, what happens when you click the box in front of locked? Actually, if the permissions show that you are the owner, and the group is staff, you shouldn't even have to click the padlock at the bottom. I can lock and unlock the application just by clicking on the box. If you can't, it makes me wonder just EXACTLY how you upgraded to Leopard. There can be a raft of very technical ownership/group problems, depending on what you did.

  • Unable to unlock iPhone 5 while phone is locked in VoiceOver mode.

    Used the accessibility VoiceOver feature for playback while driving. Was unable to unlock phone. Pressing the triple-click feature did not work. The timeout feature disabled the phone from 1 to 60 minutes with each unsuccessful pass code attempt. Dreading having to reset my phone I connected to iTunes.  I was able to turn off the VoiceOver feature using the configure universal access feature and unlock the phone.

    I own my iPhone 5 since it first came out in fall of 2012. I have never had an issues with the phone dropping WiFi until last month when two weeks into my biling cycle I have received notification from my carrier that I've burned through 75% of my 2G data plan. At first I thought that maybe I have left some apps running and didn't pay attention to what was occuring. So during the next billing cycle which started 10 days ago, I reset the cellurar data usage legend on the phone and kept a close eye on data usage. My phone is on wifi 99% fo the time. When I am not of wifi I only refresh my email account and check the weather. Prior to the last month, I usually use about half a Gig a month. As I've tracked my data usage with my carrier this current cycle, I found there are numerous cellular data usages during the time that I was connected to wifi. I find myself turning off my cellular data which is ridiculous. I know it's not my router, because when I used my friend's wifi, the phone still registered cellular data usage. It was all small amounts during each time, but 10 days into my billing cycle and my phone burned to 1G of data!! I still have 3 weeks of cycle to go. I've also completely rebooted my phone by erasing and reinstalling the iOS. Which btw, did not help. I cannot believe that others have reported this issue and Apple hasn't addressed it yet. The phone seems to be dropping wifi when in sleep mode. This is not normal as I've owned the phone for over a year and haven't had any troubles until last month. Does anyone have any updates on how to deal with this issue without replacing the phone?
