Trying to activate new device but get a message saying page is unavailable

I have tried a dozen times to navigate to the page to activate my new phone but keep getting an error message saying the page either doesn't exist or is unavialable. please help.

You can also activate the device by calling *228 from the new device (turn OFF the currently active phone) and choosing option 1. If that doesn't work, your only other option is to call Customer service from a different line than the one you need to activate the new phone on . . .

System hangs up when trying to add a folder in "shared folders"

I'm able to access all my files through a PC when I use the IP of my mac. (After I enable SMB). But instead of giving access to all folders, I would like to share only a couple of them. And whenever I try to add the required folder(s) the MAC hangs up (The menu bar disappears, right click doesn't work.finder doesn't open when clicked). And I have to hard shut down it. Happens everytime I try to add a folder.

Investigate whether the target topic is actually in the project when you look using Windows Explorer. If these broken links are attributable to the folder bug, then right clicking and selecting Restore does fix the problem. I think there is more to the problem in this case.

Trying to Activate/Switch Device

I switched back to my iPhone 4 just to try out iOS 7 and it isn't that great and i want to switch back but instead i get this
Your Device Change request failed and cannot be completed online. Please contact Customer Service at 1.800.922.0204
Whats going on why has it failed

I imagine the only one's who can tell you that, would be customer service. Not sure what phone you're switching back to, or from, but some (mainly 4G/LTE ones) may require a new SIM or something along those lines. I'd give them a call, as that seems the only way you'll get to the bottom of it.

I have restored my iPhone 4S and I m trying to activate my phone but its not getting activated

I have restored my iPhone 4S to ios 8.2 and I m trying to activate

your iphone could not be active because the activation server cannot be reached.try connecting your iphone to itunes to active it,or try again in a couple of minutes

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you tried either of the things the message suggested.

[SOLVED]System Hang in Arch Linux

I have tried distributions like ubuntu and fedora in hope for finding a stable system . So I move on to Arch Linux
But this problem also exist on Arch. While using my Arch Linux (including ubuntu and fedora) my system hangs with a black screen with something written on the whole screen which cannot be pasted here as my system hangs and I have to push power button to restart.
So I check my errors.log file and found these errors
Jul 8 22:59:24 localhost kernel: [ 1.680013] ata3: softreset failed (device not ready)
Jul 8 22:59:24 localhost kernel: [ 7.298612] SP5100 TCO timer: mmio address 0xfec000f0 already in use
Jul 8 22:59:31 localhost kdm_greet[792]: Cannot load /usr/share/apps/kdm/faces/.default.face: No such file or directory
I have a HCL K21 pdc notebook
Note: In Ubuntu my notebook start with ata1: softreset failed error at boot time
Most often this error occur while watching videos or listening music with VLC

I am trying to activate root account on my MAC. The directions I've seen do not match what is in System Preference for Accounts or Users

I am trying to activate the root account on my new Mac Book Pro. The instructions that I have found do not match what I have in System Preferences. What is the process when using Users and Groups. When I click on Join the Network Account Server- Open Directory Utility I don't see a option to activate root user as the instructions say at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1528
OS X Lion
From the Apple menu choose System Preferences....
From the View menu choose Users & Groups.
Click the lock and authenticate as an administrator account.
Click Login Options....
Click the "Edit..." or "Join..." button at the bottom right.
Click the "Open Directory Utility..." button.
Click the lock in the Directory Utility window.
Enter an administrator account name and password, then click OK.
Choose Enable Root User from the Edit menu.
Enter the root password you wish to use in both the Password and Verify fields, then click OK.

Do you mean you cannot select "Enable Root User" from the "Edit" menu as shown below?
Why do you think you need to enable the root user? I've never needed it in the history of OS X.

When was the last time you did any of the following?
Restart your computer?
Repaired Permission & restarted your computer?
Run "Repair Disk" from your install DVD?

Is your AirPort Express an older 802.11g model? If so, you will need to install v5.6 if you are running OS X Lion or 5.6.1 if running OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, the iOS version of the AirPort Utility cannot administer these older base stations.

MIRO: when trying to do miro for a vendor, the system hangs up

Hi Friends,
When trying to do Miro, the system hangs up and aborts.
we faced the same situation sometime back, the issue with it was :
Earlier Issue --> Base Unit of measure was changed from PC to SA after the creating the PO, this was creating the problem while doing MIRO.
Current Issue--->but now in this case there is no material number, only short text for the material description and the PO is account assigned. we have checked from PP side, things looks to be fine.
No error message comes up, system just hangs up.
Can someone help on this issue?

System hanging when it runs out of memory

Hello,
my system has a finite amount of RAM and swap (it doesn't matter, to my purpose, if it's 16GB or 128MB, I'm not interested in increasing it anyway).
Sometimes my apps completely use all the available memory. I would expect that in these cases the kernel kills some apps to keep working correctly. The OOM Killer exists just for this, doesn't it?
What happens, instead, is that the system hangs. Even the mouse stops working. Sometimes it manages to get back to life in a few seconds/minutes, other times hours pass by and nothing changes.
I don't want to add more memory, I just want that the kernel kills some application when it's running out of memory.
Why isn't this happening?
Right now I'm writing a bash script that will kill the most memory-hungry process when available memory gets below 10%, because I'm sick of freezing my machine.
But why do I have to do this? Why do I need an user space tool polling memory usage and sentencing applications according to a cheap policy? What the hell is wrong with my OOM Killer, why isn't it doing is job?!

Alright, you won, now quit pointing out my ignorance
Your awkish oom killer is a lot cooler than mine, switching to it, thanks!
I did some testing (initially just to test the oom killing script) and found out that if a program tries to allocate all the memory it can, it gets eventually killed by linux's oom killer. If instead it stops allocating new memory when there are less than 4MB of free memory (or similar values) the OOM won't do anything, and the system will get stuck, like if a forkbomb was running.
That's it, this program with MINSIZE=1 will be killed, while with MINSIZE=4MB will force me to hard reboot:
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define MINSIZE (1024*1024*4) // 4MB
int main( )
int block = 1024*1024*1024; // 1GB
void *p;
while( 1 ) {
p = malloc( block );
if( p ) {
memset( p, 85, block );
else if( block > MINSIZE ) {
block /= 2;
return 0;
Guess I'd need to go deeper to understand why Linux' oom killer works like that, but I won't (assuming the oom killing script will behave).
