My phone is totally jammed!!! Help!
I added this to another thread but think it needs its own to get recognized. Thanks
I'm currently living in NZ and have my iphone with me. I have no phone service but have been using it for music and email and such. I've been keeping it in airplane mode with wi-fi on. This really saves the battery. I updated itunes and then updated my iphone. Now it is totally stuck. My pc can't restore it. It won't restart on it's own. I went through all the offerings in te help section and still nothing. I saw in another thread that this had happened to others while in airplane mode and they fixed it by doing an emergency call and turning off the airplane mode. This allowed their itunes to recognise the phone. My phone doesn't even give me an option to do emergency call. Any thoughts? Any help?? Thanks a ton!
It has not been hacked/unlocked. I decided to not do that as I wasn't smart enough to make sure it wasn't ruining the phone. It has the sim that came with the phone. Any idea's how to open it??

So the bottom line is, you've run into Activation Lock. You have no options other than to get those original credentials. (I have to admit I did not read your too-long story) You don't need his password, he just needs to log into icloud.com with his credentials and remove the device in question from Find My iPhone.

Hi
I'm running OS X Server 10.4.9 on a Mac Pro as a standalone server. Services enabled are: AFP, FTP, Firewall & Windows. The server also runs Retrospect Workgroup -backup server.
The problem is that occasionally - every two days, sometimes even a couple of times a day - the server goes totally jammed up: existing network connections slow down a lot or disconnect, new logins aren't possible because the server
can't be found. You can't even login using ssh.
Local login doesn't work either - when waking up the computer from screen saver, you wont even get the login window and the screen refreshes about 1frame / 10 sec. Hard drives are then working like crazy, when there shouldn't be anything particularily heavy going on.
So the only solution is to boot it using the power switch.
The situation is totally unbearable. Haven't found anything obvious reason from the logs. Anyone with any idea?
Mac OS X (10.4.9)Hi: I’m not criticising it just seems curious as why only that?
Umm... Isn't that just normal? The server has a
public ip, and it's being accessed remotely by our
employees.
If you are going to be using your server as a gateway/router then it makes sense. NAT, DHCP & DNS and possibly VPN would have be to enabled. If everything sits behind a router based firewall then there is not much point. Judging by what you say: is remote access via command line and ssh or by VPN? If its via VPN then obviously its not your server handling it. Routers that support VPN connections will have Firewall/NAT built in and these will be active.
Again why the Firewall on the server as it does not seem to be doing anything?
BTW - Server logs show these kind of login attempts
every now and then:
DirectoryService[76]: Failed Authentication
return is being delayed due to over five recent auth
failures for username: admin
Something to be worried about? There's no signs that
someone would have succeeded with those...
Absolutely. This could indicate a dictionary attack or possibly a failed login attempt locally. If you are the Server Administrator and you know your user base does not have command line knowledge then I would be suspicious. When you install OSX Server Remote Login is enabled by default. This allows for ssh connections to be made by administrators who wish to administer the server remotely and by the command line. Unless you have an absolute requirement to do this you should disable it. System Preferences > Sharing > Remote Login.
By default Root User is not enabled on OSX Client. It is on OSX Server. Again unless you have an absolute requirement to have this enabled, disable it. If you need to enable Root User for a specific purpose then you can re-enable it for that purpose, disabling it when you are done. /Applications/Utilities/Net Info Manager. Click the lock and authenticate, Security Menu > Disable Root User. Inspect your router and make sure that Port 22/23 are not open. Some Routers open these to allow for Remote Management.
I’m not an expert on this, but as I understand it hackers know this and use dictionary attacks (a brute force method that assumes that admin is the user name and tries numerous passwords until it hits on the right one) to gain access to your server. Again I am not an expert at this but what they do when they get there – generally – is leave something like a timed script that sends spam in one huge chunk. The Server reacts by allocating as much system resources and CPU time as it can to deal with the traffic, this can appear as if the Server has been jammed causing disconnects and unstable access.
Launch terminal and issue the top command. This will list all active processes running. Look at for amavisd or clamav and see what CPU usage is for these processes when the slow down occurs. This would be an indication that your server has been hacked and is being used to send spam. You can stop these processes by issuing sudo kill PID, where PID is the Process ID number. Alternatively if you are not comfortable with the command line you can use Activity Monitor in /Applications/Utilities folder. It’s the GUI for top.
Don’t worry and don’t panic, if you follow these basic security procedures you will be OK even if it turns out to be not a dictionary attack, these are still good best practice methods to employ.
One further question for you: have you had to reset the password for the Server Administrator account lately?
Hope this helps – Tony -

I found My iPhone contacts on my friends Iphone we both have 4s! But we use the same apple ID and ICloud ID! How can undo what happened? all my private stuff is now on his phone!!! help me plz!!?
Of course if you are both connected to the same iCloud account you have the same contacts - what did you expect?. The contacts live on the server and are read from there by the devices; so as you've both managed to sync your contacts up to iCloud they are now inextricably mixed. You can only delete your contacts by deleting individual ones, and doing that will delete them from your phone as well.
You can only unravel this by
1. In the iCloud contacts page at http://icloud.com, select all the contacts, click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Export vCard'.
2. Sign out of System Preferences>iCloud
3. Create a new Apple ID and open a new iCloud account with it for your own use.
4. Import the vCard back into the iCloud contacts page.
5. Go to http://icloud.com and sign in with the original ID. This is now his ID. Work through the contacts individually deleting the ones you don't want him to have. When done sign out and advise him to change his password.
6. Go to the new iCloud account and delete his contacts individually.
Of course if you have also been syncing calendars and using the same email address there are problems with doing this. -
Okay so when I try to download apps on my phone a totally different Apple ID that I've never used before popped up. I've already tried settings under apps/iTunes and signed into my own apple account. But even doing so my apple Id won't show up
Try this:
Open the iTunes app, select the Music tab, then scroll all the way down to the bottom. Here you can sign out of any current Apple ID and sign into a new one. Good luck!
And just in case there is another Apple ID linked to your account you can check at http://appleid.apple.com. -
I am trying to restore my daughters iPhone because she forgot her passcode. I'm stuck because iTunes is telling me to turn off Find my iPhone in iCloud settings but I can't do that because the phone is locked. HELP!

was making the update for my iphone 4s . then he stops. My phone in this time is in the recovery mode and do not take the firmware to open my phone, please can u help me to recover my phone. My current ios 6.0.1. plese send me some thing that is useful
Thanks for that 'sberman' - because my iPhone is backed-up to my work computer (only at this stage) I have had to call our IT Department in Adleaide. (4 times this morning). The last guy managed to get the phone into 'DFU Mode' - no more recovery mode screen - (kind of 'asleep' perhaps) from my understanding of same. I am awaiting a call again from IT so they can get my computer to actually recognise my iPhone on the C Drive. This also happened to one of my colleagues in Newman (WA). She got so frustrated with the whole process that she bought another phone the next time she was in 'civilisation.' She hasn't had any problems since. (Cross fingers).
Thanks again, Sandra2474. -
I recently upgraded to iOS 7.0.3 and now my iPhone 4S will only sync purchased music to my phone from iTunes. Help! I have TONS of music that I have bought and burned to my computer, but cannot listen to it on my iPhone. This seems ridiculous!
Also, it's taking FOREVER (over an hour) to sync my iPhone to iTunes...

I tried to Purchase on the i Tunes store, but forgot security questions. Not even Customer Service is able to help me. How can I spend the 20 bucks I have on my account now if even the phone assistants can't help me? I can't rememeber any answer to any of mu questions and I can't even register my product (iPod Classic) even though I purchased it 6 months ago. Customer Service held me on the line for 30+ minutes asking me all the time if I rememeber one anwer to my questions (to which I repeatedly said no) and there seems to be no way to circumvent that security system, not even with my second email, also registered on My Itunes. Isn't there any way for me to get those 20 dollars back I already have in your store or at least reset my security questions if I don't rememeber?
Thank you very much.qwerqsr, Please contact 1-800-My-Apple, about this issue. The account security team should be able to assist you. Please have your password and the ability to log into your account via appleid.apple.com.
Thanks,

Sir, your Apple ID can be used as an iCloud account as well. They are both the same thing.

How do i remove a credit card from my account by phone?? Please help
How do i remove a credit card from my account by phone?? Please help
I'm not sure what you mean when you say "by phone". If you mean that you want to change your iTunes Store account settings from your iPhone, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1918
If you mean that you want to be able to call someone and make a change to your iTunes Store account, you can't.

I have tried to update my 3GS phone and now it longer works as it comes up with message there is no sim card installed in the phone. Can anyone help please as I am no where near technical support as I am working as volunteer in remote Asian country
Hi Allan,
Thanks for asking, I knew I had forgotten to mention something. The phone was indeed unofficially unlocked, since there were no apple stores or even premium resellers in the region I lived in during the given procedure had to be done.
I understand this could be a further complication, especially the fact the home button does not work. However, I was wondering if there would be a possibility to use a third-party application instead of iTunes to restore the iPhone? IF someone does know of such an application, I could easily solve further problems myself. Basically, the main issue here is my lack of ability to enter DFU mode. -
I no longer have any contractual obligations, and i have iphone 3GS and iphone 4, I want to change carrier, but my phones are locked. Help
I live in Lithuania.
BRContact the carrier the devices are locked to. Apple has nothing to do with this and will not unlock any iPhone for end users.
If the carrier offers unlocking and you meet their requirements, they will then submit the information to Apple to have the device unlocked.

How to downgrade Premiere CC 2014 to CS6?
Hi There, I've recently set up my 2013 iMac (3.1 Ghz Core i7 with 16Gb of RAM) with Premiere Pro CC 2014. So far it's been awful. It's always slow, it lags and it crashes lots. I've used Premiere CS6 on older Macbook Pros, Mac Pros and iMacs and it's
