N8 - Can't enter security code when trying to unlo...

I can enter my PIN and security code just fine when I turn on the phone and when changing settings. But, when my phone is locked and I have to type security code in to unlock the phone, I can press buttons just fine, complete with haptic feedback and all, but nothing is actually entered into the security code field, rendering my phone useless even for emergency calls until I reboot it.
However, if I disable security code check when unlocking the phone (which means I don't have to enter the security code to unlock the phone), the home screen freezes when I unlock the phone. The screen changes the orientation correctly and I can use the hardware button to call up the task manager, but I cannot press any widgets or buttons on the home screen. If I press the hardware button, the menu won't appear, but I can still use the task manager to open up the menu to select applications and such. At this point the phone unfortunately pretty much craps up. The interface glitches out and the phone becomes unusable until rebooted.
This has actually happened before. The firmware had somehow managed to "downgrade" itself to an older version, so I managed to fix the problem by updating to the newest firmware again. It seems the same trick is not usable this time. The firmware version I have installed is 025.007.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I've managed to fix the problem.
I tried downloading an app from Nokia Store. The app happened to be a Qt application, which requested me to download and install one item with the actual application. After I installed the application the problem was fixed, although I doubt that was the reason it was fixed.

TS1277 HI. I have followed all the appropriate steps above and when I try to enter my 'Password' when asked, my keyboard doesn't work. No key press can be activated at all when trying to enter my password in 'Terminal. And I am in the 'Administrator' user

HI.
I am having trouble authorising my Mac Air to my Itunes account. I found a discussion explaining how to go go into 'Terminal', then adding a command. I have followed all those appropriate steps and when I try to enter my 'Password' when asked, my keyboard doesn't work. No key press can be activated at all when trying to enter my password in 'Terminal. And I am in the 'Administrator' user. Can anybody offer any suggestions?? ta

Does the command that you're trying to enter in Terminal begin with the word 'sudo'?
If so, your keyboard is working fine. When you type your password after a sudo command, nothing is echoed to the screen for security reasons (not even the * that are normally registered in other user interfaces). However, the program is registering what you type.
Just type your password and press 'return' and the command will be executed (so long as you type it correctly; if you don't, you'll get an error message).

How can i fix a 4280 error code when trying to burn cd's on itunes

How can I fix a 4280 error code when trying to burn cd's on itunes for windows? Model drive is drive D: TSSTcorpCDRWDVD TS-H492C

Did you by chance find out a solution with your problem? I am having the same issue with the same drive. I even uninstalled iTunes and completely reinstalled it.
Thank you for any help anyone can offer. I'm not having any luck finding answers on the net. Thx.

I am running Lion 10.7.2 and I have an external drive hooked to my time machine. I can't rename folders and when trying, I get an error code 8076. The checkbox "ignore permissions for this device" does not show on volume info. Help please???

The TIme Machine volume does not have that checkbox.
I think the issue is with your Finder...
Go to Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences trash these files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then, restart, or log out and in again.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)

Hi - My sons ipod touch keeps coming up with three security questions when trying to conect to apple store. We try to answer or set up but it just goes back to the begining and asks again . can anyone help ?

If you get an error that says can't backup, try moving the existing backup file to a safe location and thry again. again. You can find the location of the backup file here:

I keep receiving security errors when trying to open a pdf.

I keep receiving a security error when trying to run my javascript program, the function previously worked, but now creates an error after I entered the addWaterMark function. I have put my whole code below for my script.
The basic function is to load a text file into an array which has the path and file location, open the document, add a watermark, save the file, close the file, then repeat for the next array position.
I am using Acrobat Standard so I am unable to debug using the console, therefore I am struggling to understand what I am doing wrong. I will point out that I am not a fluent programmer, only have a basic knowledge of programming.
Code
app.addSubMenu(
cName:"Extras",
cParent:"Edit"
app.addMenuItem(
cName:"Import File",
cParent:"Extras",
cExec:"main()"
function main()
var fileCount = 0
var listOfFiles = []
listOfFiles = importData()
amountOfFiles = listOfFiles.length
for (var i =0; i<listOfFiles.length; i++) //calculates amount of entries in the array listOfFiles
newFile = openFile(listOfFiles[i]) //Opens current file
var d = app.activeDocs; //Gets current document title name
addWater(d[0]);
app.execMenuItem("Save");
for( var x in d ) d[x].closeDoc();
function addWater(myName)
{ app.alert("watermark",0);
myName.addWatermarkFromText(
cText: "OBSOLETE",
cFont: "Arial",
nFontSize:36,
aColor: color.red,
nOpacity: 0.5
//function SaveFile saves the current file but with an addition of WM to the filename
saveFile = app.trustedFunction(function(currentDoc, currentFileName)
{ app.alert("savefile",0);
app.beginPriv();
currentDoc.saveAs(currentFileName);
app.endPriv();
//function openFile which opens the file named in the variable currentFilename
openFile = app.trustedFunction(function(currentFileName)
{app.alert("openfile" + currentFileName,0);
app.beginPriv();
app.openDoc(currentFileName);
app.endPriv();
//importData function imports the paths and filenames contained in the list.txt located on the desktop
importData = app.trustedFunction(function()
{app.alert("import",0);
app.beginPriv();
cFilePath = "/C/Users/103019944/Desktop/File_List.txt";
var stmData = util.readFileIntoStream(cFilePath);
var cData = util.stringFromStream(stmData);
var cMsg = cData;
var fileArray = cMsg.split("\r\n");
for (var i =0; i<fileArray.length; i++)
return(fileArray);
app.endPriv();

I have found the error, you are quite correct I had an extra letter in the filename, I thought I'd checked this but just shows that sattention to detail is the key.
The script works perfectly now, thanks you for your help, really appreciated.
Thanks again

HT204266 How come my credit card says invalid security code when I put my code in at the App Store?

How come my credit card says invalid security code when I put my code in at the App Store? I have a bunch of free apps when I had my ipad 1 now I have 2 and my credit card will not be read as authentic Watson ever I tried my girls card nothing do I need to have money on it for a free download? I even bought a couple of games but why with so many free ones? Please help me I'm slow so walkit through with me thnx also my ipad 2 is brand new out da box and I accidentally updated to 6.0 without finding out first about it so some pointers to it would help ...which I think that it has something to do with it.

Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorisations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
For iOS I would expect an updated version of the manual to appear here at some point : http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipad/
In the meantime there is this : http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/

Am being prompted to enter security questions when making a purchase on my new IPad. I don't believe I have ever setup security questions on my apple id. How to I create new security questions?

I am being prompted to enter security questions when making a purchase on my new IPad. I don't believe I have ever setup security questions on my apple id. I have tried logging into my apple id and have chosen the security and priviacy settings to set up security questions. However I am prompted to enter answers to security questions and am told they don't match. How to I create new security questions or reset them?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

HT1414 How do you recover your security code when purchasing extra moves on games

How do you recover your security code when purchasing extra moves on a game?

Do you mean the passcode for Settings > General > Restrictions so that you can turn in-app purchases back 'on', or something else ?
If the Restrictions code then was it on the iPad when you last backed up ? If not then you can restore to that backup and it should be removed. If it was on the iPad when you last backed up then the only way to remove it is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults and you can then re-sync your content back to the iPad - you won't be able to restore to the backup as that will keep the code in place.
If you mean a different code ... ?

Device locked on 'Enter Security Code'

I have a nokia n9. After a "backup" then "restore" setting procedure, the phone is locked with an "Enter security code" interface. But I have never ever set such a security code. Then the phone stucked at this state no mather what possiable code I had tried, even reflashing the Firmware did no use.
This is a serious OS bug, raised & comformerd by others n9 users on official nokia support website.

Hi Kiiwii,
Welcome to the Nokia forum,
Have you tried 12345 as the security code? as it is the default security code for the device if you have not set your own personal security code.

Settings>General>Passcode Lock...enter your passcode, then: Turn Passcode Off.

Why will Adobe not accept my Verification Code when trying to email pictures?

Why will Adobe not accept my Verification Code when trying to email pictures as it is the code they sent me?

Hi,
It might help if you could tell us your version of PSE and your operating system.
In between requesting the verification code and trying to apply it, you didn't change any of the settings in Edit -> Preferences -> Sharing did you?
Did you use Copy & Paste to copy the verification code from the email to PSE?
On the page that is asking for the code, you can always click on the resend button and it will send you the code again - worth a try.

I am getting this error code when trying to open an mpeg4 "OSStatus error -12909" anyone know why. Thanks

I am getting this error code when trying to open an mpeg4 file "OSStatus error -12909"
Has anyone had this happen to them.
I am new to the support community.
Thanks

Is this coming from a link, or from something you are trying to type in the address bar?
Try replacing the "html" at the start with "http",
so if you have html://somesite.edu,
change it to http://somesite.edu.
