Well, you do not say what computer OS you use, so I'll provide you with both troubleshooting links.

    Could it be that you are using your account on more than 10 devices? Or that more than 10 devices are still connected to your account?

  • I have an iPhone 4S that won't charge. I have tried with 5 different cords and 2 wall plug but it won't connect. It will work if I plug and unplug my phone for 20 minutes. Please help me!

    I have an iPhone 4S that won't charge. I have tried with 5 different cords and 2 wall plug but it won't connect. It will work if I plug and unplug my phone for 20 minutes. Please help me! Do I need a new phone or is this something that can be fixed?

    Clean out the charging port--make sure there's no dust or debris in there.  If that fails to solve the issue, bring the phone to Apple for evaluation.

  • My iPhone 3GS (iOS5) shows default email as AOL (and sends as AOL) but recipient gets it as my live.co.uk account. Any ideas how to stop this??

    I'm having a recurring issue on my iPhone 3GS. Latest iOS is loaded (last night) but for several months now I've noticed that email sent to me on my aol account and read on my iPhone, if i respond it is received from my live.co.uk account. The email reply clearly shows aol as the sending account and under settings AOL is shown as the default. I have even tried deleting my live.co.uk account from the iPhone, but the problem still happens.
    It's annoying as further replies then go to my live account and it is just getting messy.
    Any ideas on how to stop this from occurring?
    Thanks

    The default email account selection has nothing to do with the email account used when reply to and forwarding a message received by an account.
    Have you tried deleting and recreating the AOL account?

  • I uninstalled the operating system to wipe it because I was going to sell it.  I thought I had the right CD to re-install everything but I don't!  Any ideas?

    Since you said the computer had seen an upgrade in OS X, the last possible
    version and most likely installed would have been from a Leopard 10.5 DVD
    retail install disc; so if you have one of those, that would do the job...
    IF image of the retail box does not appear below, the cover was all black w/
    a black X, and a purple swirl behind it of a galaxy. The label would have a
    number and the 10.5 system identifier. It would not be a gray label disc.
    https://www.apple.com/support/leopard/
    Of course to call Apple as recommended by Klaus is way to see about getting
    the disc set for the model, and would be a fair part number to include with it
    if available. Any installed OS X should (where applicable) have the DVD, too.
    The Disc is the proof of license; and unless a 'family pack', one install per DVD.
    There may be a generic white label 'replacement 10.5 DVD' from Apple support
    as had been noted by a few ASC discussion participants, that was for any PPC
    mac that could run or be upgraded to Leopard 10.5. A full install disc of the OS X.
    This was available for a time, for a reasonable fee. Also, a more rare DVD version
    I have, that is a full installer on bootable DVD, says 'drop in' 10.5. and did not
    require an older OS X to be installed & running prior to using that to upgrade. Do
    not plan on finding one of those, but I have the actual rare disc at my Mac, now.
    {Also have an as-new retail boxed set, bought from a moving sale, cost me $10.}
    In any event...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I am trying to connect to apple support and it keeps asking me to put in the SN of my MAC and when i do it says that the SN is invalid I am putting in the SN from under about this mac and it is the same as the one one the bottom of the MAC any ideas ?

    Did you purchase this product direct from Apple online, in an Apple Store, or through a third-party authorized reseller? Or did you buy it from an original owner whose Applecare plan was supposed to be transitioned to a new owner, by them?
    Do you have an original shipping carton the unit arrived in?
    If the product was a retail 'open carton' purchase and no
    back-track is possible, contact the reseller.
    And if the computer had seen a major service with logic
    board replaced, etc, it may have other issues with serial
    number vs one they may have assigned it. Usually a
    new logic board may have the SN flashed or if a unit
    was determined to be a reman, a new # assigned. But
    that would appear in System Profiler, if officially reman.
    If you registered a product anywhere with Apple, it would show on a web page along with its serial numbers, going back several years, at this page after you log in there.
    https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action
    A blue text with triangle See all products and services opens an Apple ID
    sign-in window, then the page changes to show your items & info about them.
    If you run the serial number through online Lookup, what appears?
    http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
    Not sure if this helps, 'your product' should appear - if registered.

  • TS1398 Hi I run the 6.0.2 patch and I stiil have the same problem, no wifi connection even if i change the wireless antenna and the security any ideas??

    Hi I run the 6.0.2 patch and I stiil have the same problem, no wifi connection even if i change the wireless antenna and the security any ideas??

    There are two steps to the update for an iPhone 5. First you run the patch then you update the iOS. Did you do both? And does iOS 6.0.2 show up in Settings > General > About > Version
    The first thing apple will tell you to do if you bring them the phone is to reset the phone. Try that before going any further.
    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

    Sorry. There's nothing anyone can do. The current version of the facebook app will not run on 4.2.1. The iPhone 3G won't run anything higher than 4.2.1. You're stuck.
    Maybe it's time to buy yourself a new iPod Touch.
