    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

  • Just changed Domain Name, so what do I need to do now?

    hi all, I am rather new here with servers, and i had one mac mini server setup and working using a domain name, and now that's changing (where the static IP address will not). So I am wondering if there is a tutorial on what to fix inside of the server to make everything right again, ie. DNS. I suppose I start with hostname, but are there a bunch of little gotchas as well? thx so much for your help!

    DNS is always first.  Change your DNS first and test it using nslookup or dig. 
    Once your DNS is changed, then use the changeip command line tool.  Stop all services that you can.  Then the easiest way to use it is to run this first:
    sudo changeip -checkhostname
    This will give you a result telling you that there is a name (or IP, or both) mismatch and suggest to you the exact command to run to correct this.  Simple add a sudo in from of the suggested command and run it.  This may prompt for some additional passwords, particularly if you set up an OD Master.  Follow the prompts.
    When complete, rerun the sudo changeip -checkhostname command to ensure that everything is reporting back correctly.  And while not technically required, I generally will reboot the machine and then run the -checkhostname a third time to make sure everything stuck.

  • Purchased domain names

    hi
    i just purchased a domain name from godaddy.com and i'm not sure how to redirect to my site. i'm using .mac so what do i enter for the name server on the godaddy website?
    thanks

    I don't think you need to set the nameserver.
    Here are the step by step instructions...
    1. Login to your domain name account at GoDaddy
    2. Click the green Domains tab on the left hand side of the page and select My Domain names from the dropdown menu.
    3. On the next window, you should see your domain name. Check the box next to your domain name and then click on the "Forward Domains" button above it.
    4. Now the right side of the page should open a setup window. Under "Forward To:" enter your short iWeb .Mac URL... http://web.mac.com/yourdotmacname/
    5. Click on Mask Domain if you want to mask your domain (to hide the long .Mac URL)
    6. Fill out the Masked Title and Meta tag info if you are masking.
    7. Click on Save Changes.
    That's it! This forwarding should become active soon.

  • Unable to view purchased domain names.

    I thought I would start here first. I have several web sites that I have done for clients using iWeb and then purchased a domain name from 123cheapdomains.com. After I did some text editing with iWeb on one of the sites I can no longer get to the site. I can get there using the long iWeb URL but not the official one. This would lead me to believe that this must be an issue on 123cheapdomains.com site with a forwarding problem? I need these sites up and just thought I would post incase anyone else was having any problems.

    sequense...
    In your forwarding setup, make sure to only submit your short iWeb URL.... http://web.mac.com/yourdotmacname/
    This way, you can make changes to your webpage (adding pages, etc) and not have to worry about your forwarding changing. What happened is that you have your domain name forwarded to a specific page URL probably, and that URL has changed and is not invalid.
    With your short iWeb URL, you can always be sure that people are forwarded to your default start page as set in iWeb. So go back to your domain forwarding setup and change the forwarding URL to your short iWeb URL.
    Good luck!

  • Can I buy my domain name now?

    I am about to create a Muse site for a client in a month or two but he would like to have his business cards with his web address on it now. Is there any requirements with third arty hosting i should be aware of?
    Also is it going to be a problem for me or my client to update the site often using a third party host? I am not a developer and do not know much about coding. Is it possible to buy adobe business catalyst sites that have the adress as .com or .nz rather than .business catalyst?
    Thanks for your help.

    Reading this article on pushing a site live and assigning a domain name should help you:

  • Having problems attaching a purchased domain name to my muse project

    It was previously used by another student from last year's class who also also used Muse but i cannot overwrite his version as it says the domain is in use. Do I need to amend the nameserver to something more unique than the name server that is mentioned in the tutorials i.e. NS1.WORLDSECURESYSTEMS.COM. domain purchased from goDaddy.

    Hi Lawrence
    I believe your query is resolved over live chat, but if still there is any issue or question , please let us know.

  • How to I get my host email at GoDaddy to work after I've changed the name servers to redirect my domain name that I purchased to my Business Catalyst Site?

    I use a mac and I just recently changed my name servers with my purchased domain name at godaddy.com. As a result, I am no longer able to receive emails in my domain name's email address as I have to change some info with Adobe according to godaddy.  They have sent me an email with all the info that needs to be changed and I was wondering if someone can walk me through it. Thanks! :-)

    I guess, you have resolved the issue on your end.

    The man who tells you what you can post online, who tells you what e-mail address to use, who tells what e-mail system you can use, who locks you into a proprietary system and then cancels it when it becomes too much trouble, leaving you you change your entire online identify. If you have your own domain name, you don't have to worry about any of that.

  • How to confiture virtual hosts with multiple domain names

    hello,
    I've read through some of the postings here on virtual hosts, but I thought I'd better solicit advice before I actually try some of the things I've read about.
    In a nutshell, I've purchased multiple domain names that I'd like to alias to a new site (currently it is just a subfolder in the main site directory) on my OS 10.3.x server. There is only the one main site configured right now on the box, so I know I need to set up a second "virtual site" pointing to the files in this subfolder to make it function as its own site.
    I've dabbled around with the sites settings in the GUI, but I'd probably be most comfortable setting all this up in the httpd.conf by hand if I could. But I'm weary of this because I know it might be better to use the GUI because of OS X Server's flavor of WebObjects and Apache (sigh).
    So, I have two main questions:
    1) How would I set up this second site using the GUI in server settings? Do I need to first move the subfolder out of the main folder before it can be designated its own site? Or can I just point to it in the GUI? Can I use one of my purchased domain names in the domain field?
    2) Currently, I have URL Forwarding set with my multiple domain names, but I'm thinking there might be a better way to do this? For SEO I'd rather use some type of redirect rather than being penalized by search engines for having what looks to be multiple domains pointing to the same site.I'm thinking I should create virtual sites for each domain name I've purchased with a hard redirect back to the main site?
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    thank you for your reply.
    > You can create each site as a new Site in Server
    Admin. When you do this you can choose any
    directory on disk as the document root for each
    site.This means you can move the sites' folders out of
    /Library/WebServer/Documents if you like - you could
    create /Library/WebServer/site1,
    /Library/WebServer/site2, etc. (or even be outside of
    /Library/WebServer if you want).
    so, are you are saying that I could designate one site to be
    /Library/WebServer/Documents/site1
    and another to be
    /Library/WebServer/Documents/site1/directory1
    even though directory1 is contained within site1's structure? I'm not advancing this as a good idea, necessarily. I'm just wondering if Apache would complain.
    > Each site should have the domain name set as per your
    registered domains. Apache will need this to
    determine the correct site to serve for each
    request.
    Well, after some additional research I'm thinking I'm missing a critical piece of the puzzle. That being access to the DNS host server that manages the context of my server. I have purchased domain names through an outside registrar that point to my site and I can create virtual hosts on my server, but I don't have the ability to add the new virtual host names into the DNS server that manages my box. If that makes sense. Or maybe I'm missing something?
    >
    I'm not sure why you're using URL forwarding at all.
    Without that piece of information it's impossible to
    tell you whether you should continue using them or
    not - in general there's no need to use URL
    forwarding if you have multiple Virtual Hosts setup,
    but it sounds like you have multiple hostnames
    pointing to the same content, so your needs may be
    different.
    I'm using forwarding for the reason I list above. I didn't purchase hosting with the registrar where I purchased my domain names, so they are parked on the registrar's name server with URL forwarding to my server. The DNS server that manages my box resides in a different location and I don't have the ability to add DNS entries pointing to virtual hosts that I want to set up. Am I stuck?

  • Personal Domain Names in iWeb/MobileMe?

    Why is it that MobileMe will now not accept UK domain names? I have a .co.uk domain name and can no longer use it with the new MMe.
    When I first started to use iWeb and .Mac I purchased a UK domain name and had it entered in the personal domain name section and .Mac accepted it with no problem at all and I had my site redirected using the CNAME option for a long time.
    Now .Mac has become MobileMe, it will no longer accept UK domain names, only domains ending in .com, .net, .org etc. Due to this, I can no longer use the personal domain name option of my MMe account and I did not want to re-direct to my domain using web forwarding so have had to publish my site to a folder and ftp up to my host server space. Now I don't mind doing this, as it does not take that long and the whole site loads more quickly anyway, but I would just like to know why MMe does not now accept UK domain names now when .Mac always used to?
    This is irritating because it means that I am not able to use my MMe account to the full and as I live and work in the UK it did seem more appropriate to purchase a UK domain name rather than a .com or a .net.
    Perhaps Apple should look at this again, as not accepting UK domain names excludes a lot of British users!!

    What the heck is wrong with some people on this site! The guy was simply asking for advice!
    I got a similar snotty reply from someone in a post I made in which I was simply asking for advice from other users.
    I thought this was a SUPPORT Forum? Sheesh!
    Anyway, I am glad that Ethmoid posted about MobileMe and the problem with it and .co.uk domains. I was thinking of signing up to MobileMe and using iWeb for my blog and having it redirected to a .ie domain. But if this problem keeps up then it looks like I won't.
    Happy happy forum!

  • HELP: is it possible to have my own domain name forward to a .mac/iwebblog?

    Just got a macbook pro last week. brand new to this/have no idea what i'm doing. want to get my own domain name. is it possible to buy a domain name ie
    'Testing123.Com' and have it so that when i publish my blog on my .mac/iweb account, the domain name forwards/links to the .mac blog?
    in other words, the .mac/iweb blog address is too long/convoluted...i want something catchier. so is it possible? please advise...would be eternally grateful. thanks so much,
    Emily

    Emily:
    Yes, you can purchase a domain name and have it forwarded to your iWeb produced site. You'll need to buy the name first. GoDaddy.com seems to be a very popular site to purchase domain names.
    Do you Twango?

  • App cannot perform domain name resolution

    I have an app that connects to a remote server and pulls files via FTP. The code was just modified to connect to the server using a domain name rather than the direct IP. Unfortunately it doesn't work anymore. I get
    java.net.UnknownHostException: ftp.domain.com
            at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(PlainSocketImpl.java:177)
            at java.net.SocksSocketImpl.connect(SocksSocketImpl.java:364)
            at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:507)

            at net.sf.jftp.net.JConnection.run(JConnection.java:128)
            at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595)The app worked in the past (with just the IP) and does work properly on another computer, which leads me to believe its our server environment. For some reason the domain name is not get resolved... or something along those lines. I am able to perform a manual nslookup on that server. How does an app go about resolving domain names? What other environment related variables can possibly cause this problem?
    Thanks

    nslookup succeeds, but do other commands (like 'getent hosts xxx' or 'ping xxx')?
    If your /etc/nsswitch.conf is misconfigured, then the system will not use DNS, but 'nslookup' could still succeed.

  • Published domain name in Google

    When searching for our site in Google, it appears as the word 'Home' with our domain name on the second line, many people have simply missed it.
    How do we change this so the domain name is what appears first?
