My aunt just bought her phone ( iphone 5c ) but then when i tried entering the serial number on apple's site it shows as iphone 5s. I asked my aunt what's the color of her phone and she said it was green and it was iphone 5c. Could this be a fake iphone?

My aunt just bought her iphone (5c) for half of its original price here in Phils. So to check it was a
Egit one, i asked for the serial number by checking the settings of her phone. After geting the serial nu,ber, i entered it in apple's site to verify. I was kinda surprised since the phone that appeared was 5s instead of 5c. I asked my aunt what's the color of her phone and she said it's green. So could this be a fake iphone phone?

If the warranty is showing less than 12 months ,the iPhone has already been activated ,so yes most likely secondhand

  • I just bought a refurbished Ipod 3rd generation 8 gigs, but when I enter the serial number into Apple's site, it shows up as a 2nd generation. Is this normal?

    I bought a refurbished Ipod touch, 3rd gen(link: http://store.apple.com/ca/product/FC086LL/A?mco=MjI4NjY2MTE)
    The home button broke on me, so while setting up servicing for it, when I entered the serial number into the Apple site, my supposedly "3rd gen" Ipod showed up as a 2nd gen. Is this normal? And if not, what can I do about it?

    There are no 3rd gen 8GB models.  They did not make them.

  • I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies

    I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies. After starting it in recovery mode, it will not allow me to download OS X Mavericks- it says the disk is locked. Any ideas? I do not have a back-up and do not want to erase everything before I have explored my options. Help?

    try forcing internet recover, hold 3 keys - command, option, r - you should see a spinning globe
    most people will tell you to do both pram and smc resets (google) and if you still have issues, either clean install (easy) or troubleshoot (hard)

    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

  • I have ipod classic (about 3 yrs old) and when recharging, everything on it is gone.  When I tried copying the saved/backup items, itunes and ipod were stuck...doing nothing/frozen.  Help!

    I have an ipod classic which I had bought about 3 years ago.  I plugged it into my computer this past weekend to charge and it showed me that there were nothing on it...no music, no movies, no photos, nada.  I had updated the program on my computer and when I tried to reload all the stuff that I had saved, it locks up my itunes and ipod.  It doesn't do anything!  I don't know what is going on....Help!?  Anyone!?  Any clues? 

    Which version of iTunes are you using? (most probably the latest, a lot of this hung iTunes coming in)
    Which iPod software is shown on the iTunes summary screen?
    My suggestion go on Diskmode.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363?viewlocale=en_US
    Connect it to iTunes via a USB2.0 port (For Mac please dont use the Keyboard USB port and for MB, only one USB port is for iPod, the other will freeze your iTunes as the resource bus is shared with other devices )
    Then update the iPod software or Restore the iPod.
    Try to disconnect your iPod from the PC, if you are not charging or Syncing the iPod, or else, some Apps will just trigger a Restore and delete you iPod.
    For Mac users, who has a FAT32 iPod, you may find iTunes Restoring it to HPS+ if you leave it connected overnight.
    For Windows users, some Winsock layer conflict with iTunes will trigger the Restore.
    Good Luck!

  • I went to one web page and it asked me if I want to ad a proxy, so I confirmed. But then, when I tried to open another web site it opened the previous one, and all because that adress contains the name of the web site I'm trying to open

    The site I originaly opened is that of brown, but then it asked me to add a proxy, I confirmed, and then it started to take the web adress of pubmed page and that of brown as equal. Meaning, when I try to open pubmed it openes brown.

    Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

  • What are the best instagram video settings using Compressor 4?  The outputs I have created look clean HD in camera roll.  When I view video in instagram preview it looks great, but then when i post it the quality gets blurry. Any advice?

    I have read that you should resize the frame to 640 by 640 or 1000 x 1000, and have tried both.  I shot the footage on canon 70d using 720p60fps, and edited the footage with iMovie.  Its been frustrating to see the finished product look great on iPhone, iPad, or mac but once i post the video- the quality gets blurry when you focus on the faces that are in focus.  My footage is basketball action shots from a high school game.  Any advice would be huge, I been looking for an answer to this for a month. 

    Simple export a ProRes 422 file, upload that by itself.  Facebook, Vimeo, YoutTube, etc, all compress the video themselves.  So don't compress it first, just upload it and let them do their own compression.

  • Why does my download box show the active download but then when it's done the box is empty, before this it used to retain the name/title of the download ?

    My download box used to show me the completed downloads ... now it just shows the progress of the download and then goes blank?
    It used to retain the completed download title/name and I could click it to open instead of having to go out to my desktop to open the download ...

    that has not changed it ... I still get a blank download box after the download :(

  • I purchased Pages from the App Store but it wants me to enter a serial number?

    I purchased Pages from the App Store and it installed properly, but now it's asking me for a serial number or use the 30-day trial. I never received a serial number after purhcasing and I don't see anything in my iTunes receipt. Where can I find my serial number?

    This means that at some time you had the iWork ’09 trial installed. You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user. Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

  • When opening Photoshop CS2, the Toolbar & Palettes are small and hard to read. Can this be fixed?

    When I open Photoshop CS2, the Toolbar and Palettes are quite small and hard to read. Can I correct this and if yes, how?

    You can also change the UI Font size in photoshop cs2 under Edit>Preferences>General, but that
    just makes some of text bigger and not any of the icons.

  • IPhoto library - Events - pics imported from camera, scanner and internet - it doesn't seem to matter - for a while they show OK but then when I go into the event and start scrolling some--but not all--pics disappear w/ ? small and expanded.

    iPhoto Library - events - pics imported to library from camera, scanner and internet.  Some disappear--sometimes when scrolling and other times on their own.  Some disappear when in general event and some when I try to expand the picture.  If when expanding the small pic remains.  It's really annoying.

    Are you running a "referenced" or "managed" library?
    Give this a try:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
    2 -  select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
    3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox  "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
    4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    5 - in the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
