The install DVD's are specific to the model they shipped with.....if your friends Mac is not the same exact model it will not work.....plus I do not think it is totally legal.....

Please can anyone help? My brother has given me his old iPod 1st Gen 30GB. It has loads of music on it that I love and don't want to lose however there is quite a bit of stuff that I really don't want. How can I remove the songs I don't like without having to reset the iPod and lose the songs I do like. I'm sure there's an easy answer but I just can't figure it out!!
Hi there, there doen't seem to be any option to "select songs and videos" so this hasn't helped I'm afraid. I guess I'll just have to accept the fact that I'm going to have to reset and lose the lot.

My iphone 4s is saying NO SERVICE.I tried to put it on airplane mode,tried to reset the network setting and also tried to restore my phone but none of the above things worked.Do you guys have any idea what should i do now?
Hi sunnylordz,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you have no service on the iPhone. It looks like you have already done some troubleshooting. There is one step you did not mention trying that i think is worth trying.
If you see No Service in the status bar of your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Remove the SIM card. If the SIM card is damaged, worn, or bent, or if it's too big or small for the SIM tray, contact your carrier for a new one. Then reinsert the SIM card.
Cheers,

hey guys i forgot the password for my iphone 4S and i keep on trying any passwords but now my iphone has deactivated it self and its asking me the password but i cant remember it and i dont have the last compter it syniced with!!! so what should i do ?
In your case your only solution is to restore it ( see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 ) and you may need to force it into restore mode to do that. This will wipe everything off it and reset it as new, without the passcode. You can then redownload purchased content, buy unless you have a sync'd copy of your contacts and photo's they will be gone.

In a hurry, I opened an email that said "order was shipped from "ammazon". I downloaded the order document and it ended up being a zip file. I then realized what it was, and did not actually open the file. This was on my Iphone 5. What should I do now!?
Delete the email. The zip file will have no effect on your iPhone.

Last night, I saw my iPhone on the table in front of me and twice it made phone calls on its own. I just watched it make the outgoing call as it sat in front of me. Should I think that it has a virus? What should I do about it?
Also, it's been a little quirky lately: slow to respond to key pad touching and making it impossible to delete Apps?
Should I try wiping it and restoring it to factory settings?
Thank you.
BenIt isn't a virus.
I would try the Restore from backup first and if that does not help try a Restore as a new iPhone. -

i have purchased a iphone 4s second hand used and when i tried to update its software, it is asking for apple id . i dont have contact with the person to whom i have purchased this device now what should i do
You can't do anything. You have encountered the activation lock. Unless you have some sort of contact with the previous owner you have bought a very expensive paper weight.
You can find out more about activation lock from Apple's site here: Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support -

I just purchased the newest episode of a tv show and I selected the correct episode, but it downloaded an older episode under the new title. I don't want that one what should I do?
I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the mislabelled item. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item. -

If your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken to use a different carrier then the update locks it back again to the original carrier.

If you are having issues with the functions keys, then check the settings in System Preferences > Keyboard and look to see if Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys is unchecked so you can use it properly.
