Nokia N8 cannot get rid of "security code" after u...

Please help me I am tearing my hair out trying to fix this!
I have a Nokia N8 (sim lock to Vodafone)
I have NEVER used a security code or set one on it.
I upgraded to Belle and ever since then it asks me for "Security Code"
I can enter ANY code including 1234 0000 12345 and anything else it always tells me CODE ERROR but then it lets me use the phone like normal.
I can NOT do a factory reset from the menu as it asks me for code
I CAN flash/downgrade it to scandinavian 11.5 firmware but that doesn't make the code request go away
I downgraded it - still code request!
I upgraded it back to Belle again using Nokia Suite - still code request!
I can put it into TEST MODE but then can not get it to do full factory reset, which I am told might fix the issue.
Please can someone tell me STEP BY STEP what I need to do to get rid of this annoying code request when I power the phone on
I DID try hard reset power + camera + volume down + menu button this made other problems with apps and licence but did NOT fix the problem - luckily I managed to reflash to Belle and got my apps/licences back but still code problem
Help please!

Disable by: Settings - Phone -Phone Management-Security Settings-Phone and SIM Card: click NONE from the choices of (Phone Autolock period). This will disable the LOCK from setting itself. Keep the code you originally created handy as you will need it should you ever decide to reactivate the lock system.
I found this information by searching for an hour, after reading numerous posts about Resetting, etc. Useless information since what we both wanted to do was turn the damn lock system off.
Hope you can use this info. BTW... does your main camera work? Mine does not, and the phone also fails in cold weather by shutting itself off. ugh

Cannot get rid of "inbox" even after using other directions for doing so.

After being cozened into installing "inbox" on my Mac, I could use "inbox" for nothing.
My Mac runs OS 10.7.5.
After installation "Inbox" seized first slot on my Firefox (16.0). Even after I thought I had done EVERYTHING to dump "inbox", "inbox" opens unasked.
Scrupulously following directions, given in the next box, did not work either.
Holding down the "option" key promised a safe mode restart, but Firefox would not open in safe mode within a more than reasonable time (10 minutes), nor did anything else appear. I gave up twice after choosing to restart in safe mode.
Seek unambiguous advice that timely allows ridding my computer of all traces of "inbox" without wrecking anything else.

Try to reset the prefs on the about:config page that refer to inbox.
*Open the about:config page via the location bar and do a search for inbox via the Search bar at the top of the about:config page. 
*Reset all inbox related prefs that appear bold (user set) via the right-click context menu to their default values.
Try to reset some preferences to the default with the SearchReset extension:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

If you have American Express, your 4-digit security code is on the front. If you have VISA or MasterCard, your 3-digit security code is outside the signature block on the back of your credit card. It happens to me also.

My iTunes told me I need to uninstall mobile device support and iTunes. I did. The tried to reinstall iTunes and told me my computer cannot get rid of old iTunes. Help!

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

HT2731 how can i sync my Apple ID to my iTunes sign-in? I have an old ID showing up in my iTunes sign-in window and cannot get rid of it to show my current Apple ID. I don't have the old password to the old ID in order to "manage" my account.

how can I sync my Apple ID to my iTunes store sign-in window? An old ID keeps showing in the iTunes sign-in window and I cannot get rid of it to show my current Apple ID. I don't have the password for the old ID in order to "manage" my account and make changes. Help. Thanks.

Did you create a new account or did you update your existing account with a new email address ? You can tap on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stpre and sign out of it and you can then sign with the new/updated account.
If you did create a new account then your existing content will remain tied to your old account, so only that old account will be able to redownload that content and/or download updates to its apps. If you can't remember the password for it then you can try getting it reset via this page : http://iforgot.apple.com

Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Test.

My iTunes store will not open, it keeps showing me a page for 10.3 iTunes that I cannot get rid of.

I cannot get into my iTunes store, I have an old windows PC that my iTunes is set up to. It keeps showing me a page with information on iTunes 10.3 every time I click on iTunes store & I cannot get rid of it. The links it gives me to download do not work, I have gone to apple.com & downloaded it but it still shows up in iTunes. I have tried everything I can think & every loop hole I can find & I can't get rid of it. I have contact Apple twice in the last two days, once through express lane that said they would get back to me within 24 hours(has been 48 with no response) & once through there 1800 number which gave me a machine to talk to that e-mailed me "tips" that I have already tried.
Need HELP!
Thanks!

Sorry but the problem has re-occurred....
I have to reboot the pc every single time because I lose my taskbar and desktop. This time I noticed that it said it was loading the HP Adviser....and that is when I got a completely blank screen again. ???? I am at a loss ??? It has no function keys on it at all...no x to close it....just a blank screen with jsut the words Internet Protected mode on. and then the sizing button and the off button next to it...(can be automatically block, choose content to block etc). Its on off.
Now is it co-incidence but it was operating well until Magnetic changed the wallpaper (its supposed to do it every hour) and that seems to be when the issue re-occurred ???
Am I just best to uninstall the Magnetic wallpapers and just put up with the boring ones from Windows ?
I really do not like Windows 7, its not as easy as it makes out...I prefer XP to 7 !!! At least I learnt how to use that.
Thanks

I have a wbsite appearing on the left side of the screen I cannot get rid of preventing me from viewing current website on full screen. How do I get rid of it?

Above the website on the left it says "how to econ" I think I may have clicked on that when it appeared next to a site I had bookmarked. However the site appearing on the left is not the one I was trying to access. The site on the left takes up about two inches of screen and I cannot get rid of it.

Can you attach a screenshot?

Opening in the sidebar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website. 
You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the sidebar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac). 
In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right. 
Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the sidebar" is not selected.

Correct. You don't use iTunes to get photos off the iPhone.

Hi there francone,
It sounds like you may have the Picture-in-Picture Zoom option enabled. Take a look at the article below for more information as well as how to disable it.
