Used for an iTouch. Useless for anything now

Recently I attempted to get a video from my cousins iTunes. In attempting to sync I ended up fully restoring the phone. Not a problem accept it was my moms old iphone and when she gave it to me she kept the sim card and uses it in her new non-iphone. i used the one she gave me as in iTouch. Upon restoring i realized that the iPhone became useless. So far the only way to fix it without jailbreaking it is getting a new account and paying $36 a month or whatever for it. I dont have that kind of money. Is there any solution to my problem

This does not apply to the iPhone sold in the U.S.
With a no longer activated iPhone that was sold in the U.S., the no longer activated SIM card that was used with the iPhone when it was activated must be inserted when installing a firmware update or when restoring the iPhone with iTunes if wanted or needed - which is hard to do by accident. You must manually select Restore along with an "are you sure" and do you want to back up your iPhone first, etc. messages provided.

    My IPad 2, IPhone 3GS ans iPod  no longer work with apple TV, I have 2 apple TV in my house and for he last 3 weeks the iPod was the only one we could use for appleTV now none of them works, the apple TV icon does not show up any more. Re-started everything.

    Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
    RESPONSES:
    1)   When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC.  I simply used the same iTunes login and account.  I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store.  If I click "Download Previous Purchases"  text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
    2)   I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered.  I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam.  Good response for you.  Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome.  I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
    QUESTIONS:
    3)   So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download?  Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
    SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU... 
    I work in the computer support section for the Military.  The only problem is we use Windows , lol.  Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover.  I go back next month though I hope.  But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein.  Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself. 

  • How does the backup file that I would like to use for restore now require a password

    How does the backup file that I would like to use for restore now require a password, when I just Backed it up on 10/30/14

    It requires a password to restore from it because at some point, you checked the box in iTunes to use encrypted backups, at which point you were prompted for, and set a password.
    If you now can't remember what that was, then you can not restore from that backup.

  • Can time capsule be used for anything else than a backup?

    Just wondering if my time capsule which is 2T can be used for anything else other than as backup.  As a router it is working great and as backup no problems.  However, for example can I use Apple TV with it.
    Thanks.

  • My search bar is messed up after update. I want the old drop down menu back. I can't search for anything now. Firefox is absolutely useless to me now.

    Firefox software update appeared. I allowed it to be installed. It screwed up the search bar/box. I use to be able to click on the magnifying glass icon and ALL the search engine options would appear and I could easily chose one. It was easy. Now nothing. I cannot search anything through Firefox. Firefox is useless to me now, which means I have no computer. Do I have to go out and spend another $1000 to get a new computer? This is not right. You should not do this to a person. Not everybody is technically advanced as some of you are. Now I have no means of searching for anything using Firefox. I really liked Firefox. Now your software update messed me all up. So what am I supposed to do???????????????? IE is worthless. Not safe, not secure, can't trust it. Never works right. Can't even print out correctly. Firefox update should not have messed up my computer. I need to make searches and now I can't. I mean it, it really is not right. So, just for you so called brilliant Stanford types, when I click on the magnifying glass icon or the little, inverted triangle, there is nothing. The search bar is blank. Blank, blank, blank. No longer the quick drop down window with all the available search engine selections. Got it? That's why I've repeated myself. Have a real nice day!

    See this KB article to learn how the new Search Bar works - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-bar-add-change-manage-search-engines-firefox
    If you want the old Search Bar scheme back do this.
    Open up '''about:config''' ''(typed in the Location Bar)'' and toggle this preference to '''''false'''''
    '''browser.search.showOneOffButtons'''
    Then restart Firefox.

  • My phone says volume ( headphones), but there is not nor have i ever used headphones...ive only had this phone a few days ??? does anyone know how to get it off that....as i have no volumer for anything now....thanks

    please help....my phone says volume ( headphones) when u try to turn it up or down...and my phone has no sounds what so ever! how do i take that off...the phone is only a few days old....and i have never plugged headphones into it?????

    this is a follow up from the profane post earlier....
    i have done this twice in two other posts..
    here is my problem.. i started off trying to update itunes, it failed twice and said i needed to install manually via tools.
    the only place to get to tools is the pop up box that appears when you click check for updates.. if there is an available update then the pop up shows up with the quick time and itunes files to download. so i finally figured that out. i clicked on tools and manual update, four files were saved to a file. Apple mobile device support, another one similar, itunes, and another one i cant remember. I only downloaded the itunes file seeing as though thats all i needed to accomplish in the first place.
    so then i restarted my computer bc you need to reboot and then reopen itunes for update to take effect. once i have itunes back open i plugged in my new 5s which i am trying to sync to my computer to get all my stuff back bc i lost my previous phone over the weekend.. once i plugged the phone in an error stating i needed to unistall the apple mobile device support and itunes and then reinstall. well i dont know where those files were originally stored on my computer AND since my itunes was updated, just not the other 3 associated files, when i click check for updates it says its up to date and then pop up containing the quick time and itunes does not pop up thus i cant get back to the tools tab to manually save the 4 files again.
    so i was just going to uninstall itunes all together and then i thought well what happens if it erases all my photos apps songs etc... which would defeat the whole purpose in the first place of me trying to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back.
    so i literally have no idea what to do at this point.. if you have read this you are probably just as confused as me...

  • Is 'geotagging' used for anything?

    am I missing some functionality on my iphone? i grasp the geotag function, and unlike some my phone does seem to record the info in the exif or metadata (whichever it is)
    my question is, is it put to any use? if i download the pics to iphoto (which i never use) and fish around i can find a set of co-ordinates... that's it? no map, no city, street or country info?
    i assumed i'd be able to bring this info up on the phone itself. maybe pinpoint it on google maps, save the location or... do something!
    or am i missing it, is there some functionality built into the phone that i've overlooked?
    of all the features on the iphone, the camera seems the most half-baked. from what i've gathered, cameraphones, be they still or video; MMS and the like isn't something thats cared for in the states, but it's a huge deal here in the uk. and one apple should address. i use nearly every other feature on the phone, but the camera is next to useless; it's the only thing i miss on my old nokia.

    if you upload those pictures to some sort of online albume (web picasa, for example), and those picutres are geotagged, it will show on the map where those pictures were taken. additionally, say you took a picture of central park, ny; if someone searched "central park" in google or google maps, it may use your picture to show the searcher what a shot of central park may look like.

    What I need to do?

    Hi,
    Reading between the line I think you are trying to Register for an @Mac.com name.
    You NEED another email address to do this.
    However it needs to be one that is not already associated with any Apple ID already (You can't create an Apple ID using another Apple ID)
    Secondly due to a restriction at the AIm Server End (it will be a Vlaid AIM Screen Name) the password has to be 16 characters or less.
    If you register at AIM they ask for another email (aimed at Password recovery and confirmation email) but it is not Hard Linked like the @mac.com one.
    Obviously an @Me.com name is also a Valid AIM name but again the password needs to be 16 characters or less.
    ANy other Apple ID will not be a Valid AIM scree Name unless you register it.
    It may work in iChat if it is a Googlemail ID (As a GoogleTalk ID) - you have to enable Talk on your Google Account settings, at Google.

    when trying to open it i get a blank page and at the top next to the safari or firefox icon apperas the words forum spark 1x1 pixels.
    in the tab underneath is the words active board.com/forum(and the address of the forum).

  • Why are some web sites that i have been using for years now all the sudden changing themselves from Standards compliance mode to Quirks mode? How do I change them back to Standards compliance mode?

    Like I will be checking on an account { page is fine} go to a different screen then go back.... This is the fun part. The page starts off normal then all the sudden it shrinks and moves to the right side of the page with out me touching anything. I have had this happen to me a few different times and could not seem to get the help I needed. I bring up another page, look at page info and it says Rendering mode - Standards compliance mode, but on the messed up page it says Quirks mode. How do I get it back to Standards compliance mode?

    Good day ... As I leave California I am still very puzzled at how Yahoo can hijack my pages while on the internet ...? A friend of mine who lives here is also puzzled at how this is happening. I have taken screen grabs and would video it if that is possible ...? The screen grabs have the time taken on each grab, so one can see how fast this happens .. in a matter of seconds Yahoo jumps in with no relevance to my link I was trying to get to or the last hit or any thing stored in my history ... Is this possible ..? As I said I use a Macbook Pro 17", Os X 10.9.5, firefox 33.0.0 ..... Where is the fault ... Is my system compromised ..?
    I am now in South Africa and the problem still exists ... Please see screen grabs that I took and uploaded before ... Please help as I like Firefox over Safari, and do not wish to change ....

  • Peirce College will not recognize FF-v4, only v3.6. How can I get the older v3.6 for my new HP Dv6 I am using for school now. My G60 worked well with the v3.6.1.

    This weekend I changed over from my HP-G60 which ran on Vista with Firefox 3.6.1 and my connection to Peirce College in Philadelphia was recognized and supported. They do not, as yet, support the 4.0 version. I downloaded your 4.0 this morning onto my new HP-Dv6, but I cannot use your browser to get to my classes online because they don't support the 4.0 version. It will only work if I use Internet Explorer 7 or 8. I need your version 3.6.1 to be made available to me, so I can continue on with my studies. A little background here...I am a baby boomer who is working on his bachelor degree in IT Networking Security. Please respond as soon as you can. Thank You, Ken DeWitt.

    Here it is:

    When you uninstall FF 4, do not select the option "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.

  • Productive uses for Mac Mini?

    Hi all, I remember using my PC to download music back when i had dial up 10 years ago. I used to leave it running all night and in this way it was doing something productive. Now I have broadband and it's no longer an issue.
    It seems like new hardware is mainly used for gaming. Can it be used for anything productive? what can I do with a Mac Mini to make my life better/more efficient.
    I'm looking for something that I don't need to actively be at the Mac Mini and just want it to work by itself.
    Is there anything else I could have my Mac Mini do during the night?
    I thought the folks on here would have the knowledge I'm looking for!
    I don't mind spending time learning a programming language if it'll give me a chance to use the Mac Mini for something!

    Useful for almost anything, as a computer can run scripts or macros to perform tasks automatically; could be used for a total house control system, everything from feeding a kitty to open/close windows, on/off lights, water a yard, mow the lawn, and anything wireless technologies could do.
    I even saw where someone put a mini in their car several years ago and it helped keep the owner connected to the internet, had touchscreen, voice communication without a handset, etc. Since it runs off DC voltage, it could run on a DC-to-DC converter, and not need an AC power supply. It could control a solar power grid with backup generation. There are so many devices that control other things. And room for a few more, if you want to put together some parts or make something to perform a task not done a peculiar way, before. With a round world, our night is someone elses day. What can you do for them half a world away? Is your imagination as boundless as it needs to be, to innovate a new or fun thing? Or be one of a few to offer a unique service. Put the mini in a helium balloon and let it go solar power, with backup battery, above the clouds and pollution. Wireless. Like a micro radio station to walk dogs.
    If you are looking for a task for a Mini, you could let a server farm host it for you in their own facility. Not sure if that would be profitable to you, though. But then you wouldn't have to look at it! LOL
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • What instance number and config set number am I supposed to use for ODISRV?

    I'm trying to get one way sync working from ADS to OID using the OID that comes with Collaboration Suite 10.1.2 on Windows. The sync works fine if I run it manually (I forget the command I used for that). I can see user accounts show up in the DIT. The problem is that the sync never happens on a scheduled basis and it looks like it is due to ODISRV not running even after I did what the docs said and attempted to start it. It started with no errors but I guess the log file contained all the actual errors.
    The docs say to specify an instance number > 0 and a config set. Well, it's clear as mud as to which number to actually use. I assmed the configset value happened to match the nubmer in the Directory Manager GUI under the Integration Server entry (which was configset1 for me). I've tried to specify 1 2 and 3 for the instance numbers and I don't know what I'm supposed to use (and some of them are already being used so the command fails). How many instances are there running by default for ODISRV and how many for OID itself? What number should I be using based on that?
    Here are some entries in my logs:
    oidldap01s1304.log- OpName=search, duplicate while inserting in Hash Table.
    My comment on that snippet is a duplicate what? and what the hell hash table is it trying to use? The info isn't helpful at all.
    odisrv02.log- port 389/profile grp 999: registration failure, config set 1 already being executed by instance 0
    odisrv01.log- port 636/profile default: config set 0 already being executed by instance 2.
    oidmon.log - retry counts exceeded are listed for both odisrv01 and 02
    In all those logs the those errors keep repeating. I don't need OID on port 636 so is there a way I can stop/delete that while I'm fixing the sync issue? I saw nothing in the OEM website that allowed me to remove the SSL configuration.
    If I try stopping either instance 0 or 1 and try to restart I can't because the instance number is already used. What the hell am I supposed to do then? That means I can stop everything and not be able to start anything back up, does it not?
    any ideas how to make sense of this mess oracle developed?

    There are two configsets by default. Configset 1 is
    for synchronization and Configset 0 is used by
    provisioning (again, these are default settings).
    You cannot have two odisrv (Provisioning and Synch)
    with the same instance #.
    So, instance 1 could be Provisioning and instance 2
    could be Synch.
    Have you setup your synchronization mapping files?
    I would suggest you use the DIPTester utility to
    setup the synch. It might also be helpful to post the
    commands and the odisrv* logs (not the full dump, but
    the last snippet).Well I was trying to use ConfigSet 1 for synchronization but it either wouldn't let me because of how it is designed or I had screwed it up at that point since I didn't know what numbers to use for anything and it prevented me from using Set1 because of that. In the end I created a ConfigSet 2 and was able to get another instance of ODISRV running with that. That finally got the sync working on a scheduled basis. I'm now trying to get SSO working between OID and ADS and it seems that OID is too stupid to know that a user exists. I log onto the Windows PC into the domain and attempt to go to http://ssoServer.com:7778/pls/portal and login and I get an authorization denied message.
    I have debugging turned on as much as I can and the defaultIsland log file (forget the full filename but its an OC4J file in $ORACLE_HOME\opmn\logs directory). It says that I was denied access because the user could not be found and yet I see the user in the directory tree and it comes back in a search as well. The krbprinicipalname, uid, and orclcommonprinicipalname (I think that's what it's called) are all the same ([email protected]) and the orclusersearchbase is set to dc=mycompany,dc=com so I don't know why the account can't be found.
    ANy ideas on that issue?
