Stupid newbie question here: When setting up for hot sync, both PC and smartphone will ask for "device name" but how do I know which devide I'm naming? If I'm on the phone, do I specify the phone or the computer; and vice versa.

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
It's more like naming the partnership. By "naming" your device is doesn't do anything harmful. If you name it Pat's Treo, when syncing it tot he computer, hotsync will say "Syncing with Pat's Treo." You can name your device Fido for all it matters.

When I go to a reply window, sometimes it almost looks like there is a little window/box appears (with the 6 dots that allows the size to be changed) It appears to be the cause of the string/code?

to be added once the reply is posted, to every reply that I make. Safe mode cures it but how do I know which add-on is the problem? I have 25-30 add-ons.Disable all addons by going to Tools -> Addons and clicking the disable button in every entry under Extensions or Plugins panels.
Restart Firefox.
Confirm the problem isnt there.
Enable each addon one by one by going to Tools -> Addons and clicking the enable button in every entry under Extensions or Plugins panels, in such a way that each time you enable ONE addon, you RESTART the browser and see if the problem STILL happens.
AS SOON AS the problem happens, disable the last addon you enabled. That one is the culprit. You can now enable all the others, if needed. -
I have an external hard drive that I used with my mini mac. I want to use it on my MacBookPro. I plugged it in found it on my computer, it flashes seemed okay until it tipped over and came unplugged to the computer. I set it back up turned it on and the grren light sometimes flashes. I read an article that said I needed to format the drive, I followed instructions and did that. I will download tomorrow my pictures.
Question
How do I know if this is working
does it record everything on your computer?
How do I see what is there? on the drive
confused please direct me to help
thanks
kathyit may be very basic but I still don't get it, the instructions are basic too so I'm sure I'm missing some thing here.i don't know how to copy data and copy it back
I don't see any indicaters to do so. I'll try again, , it's on a laptop and I don't want it connected all the time, just to secure some images.
how do i copyu...
maybe I'll try a 'zip' drive instead?? But I don't understand them either, hard to be a dunce.
and by the way, my computer has been freezing up on me lately had to turn it off and on, what have i done to it!!
I just connected it again and it shows as a number22but nothing happens when I click on it...shouldn't something happen here? It seems to be empty as well as it should since I followed instructions on formatting. so what now?
This is trying your patience I'm sure,you may just forget about helping me I just don't have a clue
but if you can help, I am listening. -
I have turned on my I phone this morning and it is asking for a pass code I have never used one and cannot get past the page can anyone help?
You won't get a reply on your email here. These forums are for users who want to help other users.
If you didn't buy your iPhone in your own country and you unlocked it to work in any way, you're out of luck. If you accidentally setup a passcode check out this old discussion:

I just got my Mac yesterday. My kids want to access sites that need the adobe player. When I try and download it asks for a password. I do not even remember setting one up? How do i find out what it is?
FYI this is the legitimate Flash Player installer:
This one is bogus:
As X423424X wrote do not download it from any site other than the one he linked.
Adobe does not require a password to download the Flash installer. Generally speaking passwords are not required to download software, unless you must register with the website so as to log in. In that case you should never use the same name and password you use to administer your Mac. -
The seller did not restore the phone and when I tried to do it manually it locked the phone and is now asking for the login info in order to do anything with the phone. I contacted the seller and he is not responding. What do i do?
he knows his ID , if he did all whats in the link he can get his password back ?
how can i make him call applecare ? is there a way to speak to them from jordan ??
i have been trying to reach any1 in apple so they can communicate and help my friend (us) to make him remember it .
am not asking for the password or trying to get into the phone without using it , and i can take my money back though i need to help my friend as well since now he cant use it as well.

When setting up a Firefox Sync account I was never asked a secret phrase. When I try to use Firefox Home it asks for the secret phrase. What do I do? (using Firefox 3.6.10, iphone 4 and macbook OS X
On the MacBook, open up the Preferences dialog and go to the Sync panel. Click the Manage Account button so it shows more options, then click on the My Sync Key link to show you the Sync Key.
The sync key is the same as the secret phrase, it was renamed in recent versions of Firefox Sync. -

I'm installing the new OS and iPhone is asking for a password to "restore" my iPhone, but I've never used a password for the phone and don't know what it is! Can anyone help??
You selected Encrypt iPhone Backups in iTunes. Then you entered a password.
It would be that specific password it is asking for.

How i said on the question. I tried to upgrade the ios on the phone and I was asked for my icloud user and password. I don’t remember these exactly and I tried several times with different options but unsuccessfully. I also forget my email used to configurate the phone. I have the phone box and the bill. I sent you an email with my problem and attachments with the box informations, the bill and the reset request. What to do? You said to me:
Your request comes from an unrecognized email domain. Apple accepts email requests only from email domains for Apple-authorized carriers.
Please re-submit your request using your official carrier domain.
but this email is authorized, what to do??
respectfully, BebaIf you have forgotten then these links are the only way to resolve

I bought lightroom 5 online and for licensation my seriesnummer was named as Aktiualisierungsnummer and i was asked for a series number of a previous version. I never had one, when I bought the lr5 version there was no comment about having a previous version. How can I get my version licensed

Thank you for your prompt reply. I have bought 1 MacbookPor 17, 1 Macbook air, 1 MacbookPro 15 , 2 ipads, 3 iphones, and this iMac27 and 2 of iMAC24 or 20 not sure but I do not recall ever doing what you are telling me in your reply. When you get a extended car warranty, you don't sign up for it.. it is just there and is included in the sale. You don't buy this warranty to use it.. You buy it, in case something happens. Here a perfect iMAC with minimum 100 hour useage has a dead drive. That is not normal and I should not have to even be requesting anything since most MFG offer a 3-5 year warranty on their disc drives and I believe that is probably passed on to Apple regardless if an extended warranty is purchased or not. Customer service dictates a more flexible approach to make sure the lifetime value of a customer is not lost due to some misunderstanding.
I was in the MacStore that I purchased the unit..and they found and pulled the invoice and confirmed
the purchase of it in front of me. I had paid with credit card and fortunately it was there in their system. I do not also recall recieving any box or paper although most everything I ever get remains sealed.. I am not in the habit of opening anything since I have never encountered any serious issues before.
I have used my Macbookpro warranty 1 time and that is all throughout the years I have been investing in Apple equipment.
I just recieved a letter from the store asking me to get the paper to them so they can register it... I don't recall getting any paper actually. But I do have several boxes sealed here.. On this iMAC27, it was a hurry up and get it done thing and I don't remember taking anything extra with it. Regardless, my request does not seem unreasonable.
Thank you -
I bought an iphone 5 c off craiglist and when I got home I factory reset the iphone and now it ask for an Apple ID of the previous owner but the previous owner won't give it to me
Find My iPhone Activation Lock- Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
Only the former owner can remove the Find My Phone lock and erase the device. That can be done remotely. Without this the device is useless to you because it will be permanently locked. -

Click here for information. If the option to have the answers emailed to you isn't available or doesn't work(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section of that article.

An Apple pop up keeps coming up anytime I try and use my phone and it has an old Apple ID and it is asking for the password. How do I get it to stop?
That means there is content on your phone...music and or apps...originally obtained using his Apple ID. Such content is forever tied to the account used to originally obtain it and cannot be transferred to another Apple ID. Your only choice is to identify and delete this content.
