My phone's locked to my boyfriends apple id/icloud account and we don't know the password, there is no way of getting the password either, it's a really old account is there any way around this meaning i can unlock my phone again?

i got my iphone 4 off my boyfriend as mine had broke and he upgraded to a 5c.
And the other day i restored my iphone by mistake and now it's not letting me on it unless i give the password to the account which neither of us have, or cannnot get hold of. Is there another way around this? or not?

No there is no way around this.

Something keeps trying to download on my mac and I don't know what it is. It is not in the apple store and just comes out nowhere and request for my password to download something and I don't know what it is. How to make this stop?

Erica,
     I can, with 99.99% certainty, tell you that you are absolutely right in not wanting to download or install this "Helper," whatever it is (but we can be equally certain it would not "help" anything).
     I cannot comment as to Oglethorpe's recommendation of 'adwaremedic'; I am unfamiliar with it. His links to the Apple discussion and support pages warrant your time and attention.
     It might be really simple -- Trying looking in your Downloads folder, trash anything that you don't know with certainty is something you want to keep, and then Secure Empty your Trash. Then remove the AdBlock extension, LastPass, and Web of Trust extensions to Safari and re-boot. If the issue goes away, still be extraordinarily careful in the future.
     Unfortunately, it's probably not going to be that simple to get rid of, in which case I'd then try the line by line editing in HT203987.
     I have no further suggestions (other than a complete wipe and re-install...but that's a pain because trying to restore from Time Machine would simply ... restore the Mal).
   For the rest of us, please post when you find a solution.
     Best.

You need to purchase an external drive and start moving some files to it or you can try trashing some files that you no longer need.
Download OmniDiskSweeper and see where your larger files are... you can move them to an external drive or trash them: it's up to you.
I would also begin, since it's obviously don't have backups, a backup scheme or two. See Most commonly used backup methods.
Good luck,

I bought an iphone after restoring but i can't activate it because i don't have the previous owner iCloud account and i don't know where and how to contact him what should i do to have my phone activating

i bought and iphone but i can't activate it because i don't have the previous owner icloud account and don't know either how and where to contact him so what sould i do

Find a way to contact whoever you bought it from. If you can't do that, turn it over to the police. The phone is probably stolen. There is NO WAY past the activation lock without the credentials for the Apple ID that was used to lock it.

Trial download of Flash CS3 was not completed: does this mean I can't download it again?

A few weeks back I started to download the trial version of Flash CS3 (I am still using Flash 8, but have a CS3 file created elsewhere that I want to re-save as Flash 8). Unfortunately the internet link was broken when only about 80% had downloaded. Adobe has assumed I have the download - does this mean that I cannot try downloading it again? (When I attempt to do so there is a brief flurry of activity, then nothing happens.)

if you follow all 7 steps you can dl a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
and activate with your serial.
if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps. the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). so, your browser must also accept cookies to enable these downloads.

I can not get to verified my Apple ID account, and I don't know what to do now. Please help..

I am trying to get a game from the APP store, but every time I try to down load it; it keep telling me to verified my account. But I don't know how to do it, because I didn't get anything in my email address to do so.

Go tohttps://appleid.apple.com/ and then to Manage your account and enter your account to see that the information is correct.

Could you be using a different Apple ID oe such?

I changed my apple ID after getting a new -mail address. There are apps on my iPad that still have the old apple ID and I don't know how to change it in order to access the apps

Having trouble figuring this thing out, I know someone can help

Did you create a new Apple ID? Or did you update your existing one. Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID under which they were purchased. If you created a new Apple ID, you will still need to use the old one to update apps. It doesn't matter that the address is no longer one you used. The thing you want to do is change the Apple ID to the new email address.
Best of luck.

I had to start a new account and I don't know why? Do you mr/ms Moderator?

I have had an account here for a good while. I have had the username "JackdaShack" and a number of moderators have helped me in the past. For some reason this time loggin in it would not accept my username and passoword. I finally had to start a new account.
I am not a happy camper. While it's not the end of the world I had a history. I had earned credits and had saved the links to a lot of questions anwered that I could refer back to in my profile
Can anyone help me if I give the username and password I had been using? I'd like to get that history back. I can give you the old email I used to sign in with. Now that email account was recently dropped but I don't think that has any connection with signing in as a username. That can be a nickname or an email address. Let me know if I have to give this info privately before I publish it openly. I'd really like to get that account back, the username and the history I had.
Thanks so much! jack JackdaShack

I have up loaded a file from the adobe app on my cellphone to my account, and I don't know where it is when I log in to my account on my computer

Where is the filed saved? how do I acceses it from my computer? I want to print it.

The chances that it's a virus on your iPad or iPhone is very slim. Who is your mail provider? it's far more likely that your address has been spoofed and it's your mail service that has been compromised not your iDevice. I know my Yahoo mail was hacked and people in my address book received spam mails that I didn't send.
have you changed the address on your e-mail account?
