Unactivated and no passcode. Can I bring the phone in to get it factory reset?
I've tried resetting it from iTunes and only code an error code, so I tried updating iTunes and it won't show up at all now. I bought the iPhone from someone on Craigslist, He said the ESN is good but I had to get the LCD screen as well as the glass screen replaced. It took a few days to have everything shipped to where I could repair it and now the guy who sold it to me isn't answering my texts about the passcode... The phone seems to be in good condition. I'm assuming that since the device itself says it is unactivated that the ESN is good so I don't have to worry about it being lost or stolen. I'm wondering if I bring it in if someone can factory reset the device for me and set it up with my account without my dad having to be there (he pays the bill on me and my sister's accounts.) Since last time they told me I couldn't do it without him.
We would love to assist today cameokinney! Unfortunately we do not have a way to physically reset the device. Unfortunately if the passcode is unobtainable the device itself would not be able to qualify for activation. Once the device is successfully reset activation can occur. In order to attach the device to the account via store you would need to be listed as an authorized party on the wireless account. Please keep us posted if we can be of any additional assistance, thanks!

If I go to PS and add layers can I bring the photo with layers back to Lightroom?
If I go to PS and add layers can I bring the photo with layers back to Lightroom?

This is more complicated than I expected: I had to go back to LR to check what I did previously. Here is what I found. I hope this helps to explain what can be done. You can have both layers and LR adjustments; you just cannot see the layers in LR nor can you see the LR adjustments in PS. The good news is that they are both there and can be changed as needed.
I have a photo (Raw) of a blue jay sitting on a branch with the background out of focus.
I made many of the usual LR edits such as exposure, contrast, whites, blacks, sharpening, etc.
I wanted to print it as a Birthday Card so I sent it to PSCC 2014 as a smart object.
In PS, I added a type layer "Happy Birthday"
Back in LR, I now have a psd Happy Birthday file stacked with the original raw file.
Fine and as yet, no ADDITIONAL LR edits AFTER rendering right?
I made some LR adjustments to the psd file such as crop to a different aspect ratio and add a vignette.
I printed the psd file on a folded card.
So far so good, you're still in LR. LR can take the new edits made there AND the layers and spit out a print. Nothing new or special here.
Later I wanted to use that same image as a anniversary card.
I told LR to edit that same psd file in PSCC 2014, this time not a smart object, but selecting "Edit Original".
You got your original layered file. Nothing new or special here.
PS opened with the "Happy Birthday" type layer intact and with the smart object background layer. Of course, the LR edits, crop and vignette on the psd file were not visible in PS.
Because they don't exist there! They will when you render them.
I clicked the eye of the Happy Birthday to render it invisible.
I added a new "Happy Anniversary" type layer.
Saved the new revised psd file and returned to LR.
In LR, I still have only 1 psd file stacked with the original raw file, but now it says Happy Anniversary. Note: sometimes it may take a few moments for the new PS edits to appear. By selecting another image and then reselect this psd file tends to speed this rendering of the new image.
So where in all this is the LR edits you produce AFTER up created the layers after opening the layered doc in PS?
I now have a new card ready to print just as before with all the LR edits originally made on the birthday card including the LR edits, crop and vignette made on the original psd file.
And as far as I can tell, all those edits were applied in PS AFTER rendering.
If I send that psd file a third time to PS, I still have the smart object layer, and both type layers. I can add a 3rd type layer "Happy Easter" if I so desire and return to LR.
Again, the crop and vignette are seen in the one psd file in LR.
So...yes, I can have both layers AND LR adjustments including the original raw adjustments through the smart object background.
No, you have a layered file and you have instructions but the layered file isn't rendered with those instructions and doing so would flatten the results. -
I just got an iPhone 5s, and I restored from a previous back up (mistake) and now I can't restore the phone to start again without "turning off the find my iphone setting" but it's using an old email address as the icloud login, which i don't have a password to / never used for an icloud account. I have gone and changed my settings to a different email on my icloud / apple ID but on my phone it won't let me change the email address for icloud, it's greyed over and keeps trying to verify?
Welcome to the Apple community.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
This article provides more information about Activation Lock. -
i have just updated to the latest ios 5 and have lost apps and their data, can i reverse the new update to get back what i had on my ipad?
There is no need to do that, I had the same problem pal! Just do this and all should be fine!
Delete one of the app's and re-install it, then for some reason everythign is restored to as it was!
Hope you get on fine, let me know!
Thanks

Restored my phone and now i can not reactivate the phone
Was having problem with my 4s so I backed it up and did a restore back to factory settings. After the restore my phone and iTunes are both giving me server errors and I can't reactivate my phone. Before I call apple support I was just wanting to know if there was anything I could try differently.
You are listing the wrong iOS in your profile. What is the actual iOS on your device?
Settings > General > About: What does it say next to Version? -
Ever since the IOS 7 update Siri speaks randomly. It's become more frequent sometimes every 5 mins. Very frustrating, I've done a full restore with Apple tech support which worked for about a month. Anyone else have this trouble? Thanks
What does Siri tell you?
Do you have Voice over activated in Settings/Genreral/Accessibility/VoiceOver ->off
Could also be "Raise to speak" in Settings/General/SIRI/Raise to speak ->off -
So can I bring the Phone in to get a new sim card readser repaired? And if yes would the one year warranty every ihpone have cover the repair, or will I have to pay. And if I have to pay, about how much money will it cost.
Contact the Apple store and ask them.
Officially Apple does not sell parts. -
I accidently turned on one of the handicap features on my phone and its keeping my from unlocking the phone...how do I reset it? or get into my phone?
Take a look at this Apple document -> iPhone: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)
If your iPhone is zoomed in too much, try double-tapping with three fingers. -
I I bought an iphone 4s factory unlocked. Can i set it up with my sim card in canada then take it out and bring the phone to iran without any problems?
A legitimately unlocked iPhone should work with any compatible 3G GSM carrier. The iPhone, however, is considered 'restricted technology, and cannot be legally taken to Iran.

I need to sync my iphone as its damaged ( water submersion) i can't though as itunes is asking me for my passcode and my screen doesn't work, the phones on though still ringing etc ... Please help
You need to do more research before you make purchases like this. You've wasted your money. The ONLY officially unlocked iPhone model sold in the US is the GSM model, and that model is only sold by Apple. That's the model iPhone you should have purchased.
Did you read & understand my initial post? Especially this part:
The unlocking of the GSM portion is just for International travel in order to use local sims. You still have to pay Sprint for the use of their international GSM partner’s network on a “pay as you go basis”. -
I bought new apple tv but it only shows Computers and Settings. how can I bring up other options, specially Youtube?
Alright, I found the issue. This is how I have resolved my issue. I hope it will help you.
1. This issue could happen, if your apple TV doesnt have internet, connectivity to iTunes servers, or you haven't logged in to iTunes account in your apple TV
2. Test the network on apple tv - General - settings - network - test network, Try to aviod using wifi use LAN cable, since we are trying to fix the issue.
3. Set your exact location manually - Which city you are in from settings-General - Time Zone- choose your City currently you are in.
4. Login to iTunes account - settings- iTunes Store- set your default store - for example I am in Mongolia but using my New Zealand account on Apple TV, in our case my Apple TV iTunes account location is New Zeland.
5. If you are facing any issues to login to your iTunes account, That explains you have an issue with connectivity back to iTune servers, or sometimes it could be apple iTune servers may have problems. To verify which is one is the problem login to your itunes on your laptop or desktop for testing purposes, make sure you are using the same internet connection as your home apple TV is using.
6. if you are able to login you should able to see all the available channels and full list on Apple TV.
All the best..I just saved USD 29.00 but spend 5 hours...LOL..Its ok..its my Holiday spend with Apple TV. -
I forget the lock code and now I can not access the iphone. What I can do?
I forget the lock code and now I can not access the iphone. I try to restore it, but ask me to go to iphone settings to which I have no access and I can not download the latest version of iOS to do it.
Thanks!If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the device from the computer to which the device is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
If your device is running iOS 7 and you set up Find My iPhone (iPad/iPod), however, then it has the Activation Lock on it and you'll need to enter in your Apple ID and password to activate the device after restoring:

I am in the middle of a job using CS 6, but at the same time opening the Creative Suite apps. I created an InDesign file in CS 6, saved it, and now I can't open it. I'm getting this message: Cannot open file because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (10.1). You must use that version or later to open the file." AARRGGHH! So how do I access the file?
Sounds like you opened and saved it in CC, so now you need to go back to CC and either complete the project there, or export to IDML to take it back into CS6.

I rented a movie from the Itunes store and started watching it, but my computer jammed part way through, and now i can't find the movie to continue playing it, where can i find it?
Hi brett242424,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The movie would be in your iTunes library, in the Movies application. However, if the rental period has expired, you may need to contact the iTunes Store Support about your situation:
