Razr all of a sudden requires a pin to unlock the phone...

All of a sudden, today, my phone is requiring a PIN to unlock the phone. I cannot seem to find out how to deactivate this. I went into settings/location and security settings. and the "screen unlock secuirty" doesnt seem to allow to deactivate it. Anyone know how to deactivate it?
Thanks, Lisa

Thanks for all your comments. The first time it asked for me to create a pin number...I did (not really knowing it would be to unlock my phone). Then when I tried to deactivate the locking system, it wouldnt let me. The "Unlock" button was greyed out. I took the phone to the verizon store and they figured it out for me. Are you ready for this?????? Since I have my work email linked to my phone. My work server made all employees automatically use pin numbers to unlock their phones, (if they access work emails from their phone, which I do). Imagine that!!

I have an external hard drive that I have been using for years. All of a sudden my mac will not recognize the external as a "save as" device location. But the external does show up on my desktop and I can open it to drag and drop items. Help.

Check Finder>Preferences>Sidebar, is it checked there to show external drives?

HT1417 why have all my downloaded songs stored in i cloud shown twice on the main music menu all of a sudden? how do i get the space back, without spending hours deleting copies ?

why are all my download items duplicated in i cloud all of a sudden? how do i get the space back so i can re-synch muy i pod classic without spending hours deleting ?

Why? A glitch. The second copies are links to your purchases in the cloud and are not taking up any room. Sign out of the store and they should disappear. Sign back in again and they should stay gone.

I have a 13 inch Macbook Pro. I have bought it just 5 months back. All of a sudden, i am unable to turn the mac on. It doesn't even get Charged. What could be the issue ?

If you're unable to turn it on, let alone even charge it then it definitely sounds like a battery issue to me. I'd wait for someone else to reply just to be sure but I think somehow the battery by the sounds of it must have died. However, I could be very wrong.
If you're still under applecare which you should be then it should be an easy free fix. Hope this helps!

HT4191 I lost my Notes on my iPhone 4S. I had them and all of a sudden there are no Notes on my phone. It happened when I was backing up my husband's phone to our laptop. How do I get them back?

I posted this almost a month ago, I'm surpirsed noone else had had this issue...
I don't sync that often (yeah, I know, crusify me), but tonight I went to synchronise again and I got a different photo that wont come over....
In addition to the above:
- the photos are taken with the same camera, on the same date and time as other photos around it...
So "why is it now no longer compatible with iphone4?"????
If I unsync a photo, it just gives me a new photo it can't sync.
Can anyone tell me how to find ALL the photos it can't sync? This is a serious deficiency of iphoto/itunes/sync with iphone...

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

When I try to transfer songs to my ipod touch or my friends ipod nano in which both have manually managed music, I get error 13019 "Ipod cannot be synced". This problem started to occur all of a sudden. Any ideas other than the resyncing?

When I try to transfer songs to my ipod touch or my friends ipod nano, I get error 13019 "Ipod cannot be synced". Everything was working fine and transferring successfully and then this problem started to occur all of a sudden. My music is managed manually and always has. I looked online for a solution and they all involve resyncing the library and unchecking voice memos. Is there a way to resolve this issue without having to resync my music or reinstall itunes?

Have you powered off and then back on the router?
Have you done anything to the router recently like changed a setting?
Have you tried:
- Resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Resetting network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network SettingsTo me the error sounds like a network/router problem vice aan iPod problem.

I use a lot of Adobe PSE products (photography) especially PSE 9. All of a sudden, the cursor on PSE 9 began to malfunction. It won't respond to some of the tools, it'll pick the wrong tool, etc. Do I jave to rebuy another new version of PSE 9 or simply move on ?

Reset the tools. Click on the little arrow, top left, on the option bar of one of the tools. That may fix it.
If not, suggest that you reset preferences to default.

I have a iPad 1. All of a sudden, when I turn it on, the screen is grayish/black. I tried turning it on and off, but the thing won't work. Please help! I just brought it like 3 months ago!

Ok so, I own an iPad 1. I was using it and you know playing games and all. All of a sudden, the screen went black/grayish. I payed a lot of money for it, this is the second one I had to buy because the first one I owned broke. Could some water have gone in it? Please, help me. I can't buy another one. Please, reply ASAP.

Might be hardware failure. Take the iPhone to the nearest Apple store
for evaluation. Make a Genius Bar appointment to avoid delay at the store.

My power button stopped working all of a sudden now I can't turn my phone on or off, what should I do?

My power button all of a sudden got stuck and doesn't work, so I can't turn my phone on or off

No problem! FYI, if it's considered accidental damage or past the warranty time, you're looking at $199 USD. If it's within warranty time and not considered accidental damage by Apple, then it should be free.
Make sure to do a backup to iTunes or iCloud first, though, before you go, and make sure to schedule an appointment online at http://concierge.apple.com/reservation/us/en/techsupport/

I wanted to delete the information i had stored on the phone, so thought i had to 'Erase All Content and Settings' however i fear this may of been incorrect, I cannot load the setup on the phone now, all i get is; 'we are unable to contiue with this activation, please try again later or contact customer care, i have tried to do this several times now to no avail

Iphone 3gs passcode locked and stuck in emergency - how do I restore it as iphone says i need to unlock the phone before it can access it but all i can do is dial emergency number

My iphone suddnly went into emergency numbers only mode and I have stried soft reboots - but no sucess - it goes back to the emergency screen.
Have tried plugging it into my laptop - but iplayer says that the phone needs to be unlocked before it can access it
Please can anyone explain how I can overcome this - I am totally baffled

Even when your iPhone is locked up, you can still sync it with your computer. Do that first so all your data is backed up in iTunes. If you're using iCloud, you might want to switch it over to your computer for now just to be sure your information is safe.
Put your iPhone into DFU mode. To do this, reboot your iPhone by holding down the power and home buttons simultaneously for about 10 seconds. When you see the Apple logo, let go of the power button but continue holding down the home button. Soon you will see an image displaying a USB cable, the iTunes icon, and a message that says "Connect to iTunes."
Assuming you still have your iPhone connected to your computer with iTunes open, you'll also see a message telling you iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and needs to restore. Now you can click the Restore button in iTunes and then wait for iOS to download and install on your iPhone.
Sync your iPhone with iTunes to restore all your data and you'll have it back to normal with no password!

Pearl 8100-Should the BBpin at the back of the phone match the BB pin programmed in the phone

I have a BB pearl 8100. My phone was purchased refurbished. I was informed by an unlocker that my phone was refurbished by blackberry and it appears as if they had disabled the pin (at the back part of the phone ) and reprogrammed the phone with   a new pin. As such my phone is useless and can only be used for basic mobile services. i have been unsuccefull in applying a data plan on my phone.
Is this true? Is there anything that can be done?

No, PINS are not recycled.
It's more likely that O2 never blacklisted it.
