You need to force the phone into recovery mode & restore it, as described here:

You can't just connect to iTunes as Eric's post tells you, that won't work.

  • Can't get router working after switching from DSL to Cable broadband???

    I have a WRT54G v.5
    I just switched from dsl service to cable broadband. I can't get my router to work. I hooked it back up just as the dsl modem used to be. there is an ethernet cable that goes from the cable modem to the router. then an eithernet cable that goes from the router to the computer. this does not work. If I just take the router out of the loop and run an eithernet cable straight from the cable modem to the computer it works fine. so the cable internet service is working fine up to the modem. The router is the problem. I have restarted both the computer and the router. so that rules that out. can you help me?

    Open the setup page of the router by launching an Internet Explorer Browser and type the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field empty and provide password as admin and click on ok.On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP “. Click on the Save Settings button.Now click on the sub tab ""MAC address clone"".- Click on enable.Click Clone & click save settings
    Check WAN Ip on Status page of router .... If getting Valid Ip .... try going online...If not ... power cycle for 4-5 minutes & then, try going online.

    I have not tried that app. But have you gotten Face Time to work with another iPh4? It may be that you need to go to Settings > Phone and enable Face Time (set it to ON).

  • Australia Post Shipping - Can't get to work

    Hi,
    I have read all the online support docs I can find and I just can't get Australia Post Shipping to work on our site for international orders.
    Everywhere it says:
    Choose your shipping provider
    Enter your account details
    Your customers see real time shipping costs!
    But Australia Post selection doesn't let us enter account details - does anyone know where I enter them?
    (see image at bottom)
    And after I allocated sizing, weights etc to every product it doesn't even look like it even works:
    (see how there are no options to select)
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to get it to actually work? I can't imagine BC would role something like this out if it didn't even work but from all my googling I can't see that anyone actually uses it (or at least comments on using it!)
    Would love any help

  • Can't get wifi working on X201 after installing Win 7 64 bit

    I've just purchased an X201 type 3294 with a 320gb HDD running Windows 7 64bit. Wifi works fine when running from the original HDD. I've pulled the HDD and replaced it with an SSD and installed windows 7 64 bit so I can use the 4gb RAM which came with the computer. I did a fresh install then started trying to install drivers. I started with Wifi first so I could download the rest of the drivers directly to the computer. I can't get wifi working after installing Windows 7 64bitfor some reason. I have the original HDD in an external enclosure so I can still access it.
    I can't figure out what drivers I need, or even what adapter I have on the computer.Lenovo's part look up tells me the adapter is part number 60Y3231, but that information seems to be useless. I've tried most of the drivers on Lenovo's driver page. I've tried just copying the C:/Drivers folder from the original HDD, and just about anything else I can thinkof. 
    Anyone know how I can get the right driver, or if this is even a driver problem? For what it's worth I'm not afraid of having to learn some terminal if I have to but I'm totally unfamiliar with Win 7. I have much more experience with XP, Vista and OSX/some Ubuntu.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello and welcome,
    If you have a wired connection you could try installing ThinkVantage System Update.  Run it and it should find all the appropriate drivers and install them for you.
    That FRU seems to be an Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200. It's hard to tell from the drivers page which one to use.  Most of the README files include 6200.  My best guess:  http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/g1w218ww_s64.exe

  • I have been having trouble getting my email on my iPad. It started when I brought it to the US on vacation (I live in London and my email provider is Virgin Media). It worked once since I returned, but that is it. I can send emails, but can't get them

    I have been having trouble getting my email on my iPad2.
    It started when I brought it to the US on vacation (I live in London and my email provider is Virgin Media). It worked once since I returned, but that is it.
    I can send emails, but can't get them.
    Any ideas, people?

    Hi Kharels
    Just posted this reply to 2 others with same sort of question:
    I have the same issue as i have my own email address and only want to use.
    There are two ways around this annoying problem. The first is to set up your own domain email account alongside your iCloud one, and when you go to send each email tap on From and you get a choice of emails addresses to reply from... ie your own domain or the iCloud one.  This is tedious though.
    The other is to set up your iCloud email as normal, then create a new one altogether. Choose 'Other' when creating this new account. Then put for the incoming server mail.me.com, along with your user name and password. For the outgoing server put the server you want to use - ie your own domain one. This is therefore a hybrid account and does work.
    Now switch off the email for iCloud (leaving on Calendar, Address Book etc). Switch on the email for your hybrid account (which of course is iCloud incoming as well).
    Providing you have directed your own domain email address to your me.com one, you will find the iPhone should behave itself and you can use the folders etc and these will synch with your Mac ok.
    Hope this work for you - let us know.

    If it's showing the red disabled screen due to incorrect passcodes then you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad via your computer's iTunes and restore/resync your content to it
