TS2755 My iPhone 4 says that I need to restore it every day, even after I have already restored it. When I try to restart the phone after receiving the restore message, it then changes and says "activation required". How do I fix this?
My iPhone 4 keeps having the "Restore Needed" message pop up on my phone. I have restored my phone several times this week, and it still keeps happening. The "Restore Needed" message pops up, so I immediately do a hard shut-down. Once the phone restarts, the phone then says "Activation Required". I keep shutting down and restarting the phone, and sometimes it snaps out of it, seemingly on its own. Sometimes I have to go home and restore and activate my phone. How do I fix this? I'm 2.5 hours away from the closest Apple store and 1 hour away from the closest AT&T store.
Thanks!
Autumn
Make the time and take it to the Apple Store. Make an appointment first. Or you can call AppleCare and go for a mail in replacement.

I signed in as my dad's ID, and now, I'm signed in as my own ID. The problem is, when I try to verify any update, it asks for my dad's ID password instead of mine. How can I fix this? I've already tried to sign in and sign out, but it doesn't work...
You need to delete and redownload those applications. His Apple ID is stored inside them.

When trying to install Itunes 10.2 I get an error message "Could not access network location %APPDATA%\." How can I fix this?
With that particular variety of 1606 (it's a 1606 error message even though the 1606 error message number isn't returned by the iTunes installer), the following Microsoft document is worth a try:

my daughter and i logged onto same icloud and now i can see her messages and vice versa.. how can i fix this?
This isn't being caused by your iCloud account. It's caused by using use the same Apple ID for iMessage. To fix this you have two choices:
On one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID (so both phones are using a different ID for iMessage). Note: you can still share the same ID for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores; or
On both phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at". Also uncheck anyone else's phone number, if present. -
When I try to turn my MacBook Air on, it starts to boot (gray screen with Apple logo and the swirling indicator) but then it simply shuts off. I have tried Safe Booting but that doesn't work either.
Does anyone have a suggestion as I really need to get a couple of files off the hard drive.The progress bar on the apple screen indicates that the machine is attempting to boot to safe mode.
Boot your mac and holds down the Option key to boot to the boot manager.
Once in the boot manager click on macintosh HD and click the arrow to boot, this should boot your machine normally.
Also perform an SMC/PRAM reset:
SMC RESET:
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
PRAM RESET:
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
If these fail, insert your OSX dvd, boot to boot manager, click the disc, reinstall the mac OSX. -
My font got changed and is huge. How do i fix this?
My font on my computer, and background is huge. Please help.
Look in System Preferences > Displays > Display tab. If you're running Lion, choose the top resolution on the list to the left. If you're running Snow Leopard, scroll down that list to the very bottom most entry and choose it.

In the middle of an update, it call closed. Itunes keeps saying that it's not installed, even though ive tried reinstalling multiple times. All my iphone is doing it showing the ituns symbol and a charger. How can I fix this???
Hi lepyykko,
If I understand your question, you are trying to update your iPhone, but you are seeing an error message that iTunes for Windows is not installed, is that right? The first step is to get iTunes successfully installed on your computer. Then backup the iPhone before updating the iOS software.
Are you seeing any error messages when you try to install iTunes for Windows?

The image came up on my screen saying that I need to connect my iPod to iTunes, but I have a passcode, so it won't allow me to. And I want to try and turn it off, but my touch screen doesn't seem to be working either, so I can't even turn it off since you need to "slide to power off." HELP! I'm leaving on Thursday morning for six and a half weeks, and I absolutely need my iPod with me. I was just at the Apple store today for problems I was having with ANOTHER product, and I don't really want to drive all the way out to where my nearest store is (which is not very near) if I can figure this out at home. My iPod was working totally fine earlier today and last night, so I don't know what happened! Please, please, PLEASE HELP!
Now it's allowing me to reboot (hold down power button and home button and restart), but every time it just comes up to the same thing: the connect to iTunes page. Which is not possible. And I refuse to restore my iPod. PLEASE HELP.

I am currently studying abroad in Italy and my imessage has been working with wifi up until now. I just wen to PAris for the weekend and when I came back it says that Imessage is waiting for activation. How do I fix this? Thanks!
If iMessage has become deactivated on your iPhone, which, apparently it has, the phone will need to send an SMS to activate it again. Therefore, you'll need a cellular connection.

I recently thought I lost my iPhone and I erased it but now that I found it. I cannot get the this iPhone message is lost please call ********* I am out of the country my laptop is at home. I cannot access I tune. How do I fix this. I need to get it back on so I can face time with my family. The phone says 3G but it keeps saying on list mode. I signed on icloud and removed it from the account and nothing. Please help!
If you removed the device from your iCloud account rather than using the "Stop Lost Mode" option, then you will most certainly need to restore the iPhone, and that will require a computer running iTunes.

I'm not able to install windows 7 in my imac 21' which has the latest OSX 10.9
It keeps saying that I need a 64bit version of win7 which I actually have but it doesn't seems to be recognize.
Can someone help me out?
Thank youTo my knowledge there are no official MS Windows DVDs that contain both the 32 and 64 bit versions. There is a way to make a USB thumb drive that has both bit version on it but AFAIK this can't be done on a DVD disc even with a Dual Layer DVD disc.
For the Windows installer to function, actually boot the system to the install routine, certain files have to be on a certain area of the DVD disc. If by chance you really do have a DVD disc that contains both bit versions your Mac is only seeing the 32bit version on that disc.
You'll need to get a Real MS DVD of just the 64bit version or download the 64bit version ISO from My Digital Life and burn it to a DVD disc.

So you're saying there is no solution for this?
Thank you so much for your response. -
I got my iPad from my friend and he done a full restore before I got it, but know that I have put my iCloud account on here I have contacts and his too. How can I fix this problem? !!!!!
As I said in the other thread that you posted in the other forum, your friend clearly has not restored the iPad correctly. I suggest that you undertake another restore and start again.
