  • What does it mean if i only see the apple sign on my iphone

    My iPhone 4 suddenly went blank, and I failed to turn it on even when I press the switch and home button together at the same time, so I tried to charge it instead.
    The apple sign appeared but stayed for a long time so I waited and it finally vibrated and lit up with "iOS 6" showing and it said "slide to set up" ...
    I don't think I backed up my stuff because I recently got a new laptop... so does that mean everything is lost?

    If there's no backup then most of the stuff is gone.
    You can re-download if available apps, music and books for free form iTunes/App Store under Purchased.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

    Did you try to charge it using the adapter or your computer?
    If you can, let it charge for about 15min, then connect in recovery mode, described in this article:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    If still not luck, your battery might have to be replaced:

    How you delete content from your iPod depends how you have it set to update:
    If you are updating automatically then delete the files from the iTunes library and next time you connect they will automatically be deleted from your iPod. Highlight the file and press the delete key on your keyboard, or right click and choose either Clear or Delete, depending on which version of iTunes you are using.
    If you are updating manually, connect your iPod and click on the icon when it shows in the iTunes 7 source list click on the chevron > to the left of the iPod icon This will display the various icons for the iPod itself, Music, Movies, TV Shows and Playlists. Click on Music and you'll see the traditional song view. Find the files on your iPod that you want to remove, highlight them and delete directly.
    To select multiple items such as all the songs in an album, click on the first track in the list hold down the shift key and click on the last track to highlight the selection. Then press the delete key.
    To summarise, you start by highlighting the song/video/selection in either the iTunes library or on the iPod song list as displayed in iTunes then press the delete key on your keyboard: Deleting songs or playlists from your iPod

  • What does it mean "error -43"?

    when i try to delete some folders from my external hd, appar this message: you can't..... code error -43. anybody know what does it mean? please!!!!
    how can I fix it?

    You didn't say what format your ext HDD is in...
    You can try removing it in Terminal, but you need to know how, and you need to know the full path to the folder.
    If you are comfortable doing so, open Terminal in Applications -> Utilities and run this:
    sudo rm -r /Volumes/NAME_OF_EXT_HDD/NAME_OF_FOLDER 
    then type in your admin password

  • My Ipad saids that it could not activate because the activation server is temp unavailable.  What does that mean?

    My IPAD2 saids that it can not activate because the activation server is down. What does this mean.

    It was bought from an second hand shop, called cash conventors, which you give your old electricals in and you get money for it, then they put those electricals for sale and i bought this iphone that way
    It was working fine before but i couldnt call people as it said "call failed" and then there was a call back option which leads you to the home screen !
    I have restored my iphone and now it says :
    the iphone could not activate because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Please connect to itunes to activate it or try again in a few minutes.
    iTunes says: There is no sim card installed in the iPhone you are trying to activate.       Please disconnect and insert a sim card in the iPhone.
    There already is a valid simcard in the iPhone though!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • DiskWarrior: "not enough contiguous space"? -What does this mean??

    Having issues, cannot reboot, after software update. Grey screen + Apple comes up, but no wheel and no further booting.
    I'm able to boot from the DW CD.
    Hard drive capacity is 74.41GB/ available space 21.81GB.
    Graph of hard drive shows 5% out of order.
    I rebuilt the directory which shows NO changes to the number or contents of files and folders... BUT...
    "There is not enough contiguous free space for a fail-safe replacement of the directory. It is highly recommended that you create 132 MB of contiguous free space before replacing the original directory."
    So what does this mean? Contiguous free space on the hard drive or in RAM?
    (The hd doesn't seem to make sense, since it shows over 21GB of available space.)
    I've ordered a new 1GB RAM module which should arrive Friday, but should I install this when the computer won't even boot on its own?
    Help! I'm stuck and don't know what to do next. I have no idea how to go about creating 132 MB of contiguous free space.

    DW is telling you it needs 132MB of contiguous — i.e., unfragmented — hard drive space. Apparently you don't have it, because all your free hard drive space is fragmented into segments smaller than 132MB. With nearly 21GB of free space in all, that's very surprising. It suggests that the files using space on your drive must be much more fragmented than is common in OS X, which defragments most files automatically without any input from you.
    Ideally, what you would do to defragment everything on your drive, including the free space, is clone that drive to an external hard drive, and then clone the external drive back onto the internal drive. The second step in that process would erase the internal drive and then write everything back to it in unfragmented form.
    But to do that, you'd have to be able to start the Powerbook up from a source disk that contained a cloning utility and enabled you to use it. The simplest way of doing that would be to have an external drive divided into two partitions: one small partition with an OS and a cloning utility (and perhaps other disk utilities) installed on it, so you could start up from it, and another larger partition of a suitable size for cloning the internal drive to: i.e., about the same size as the internal drive, or at a minimum, 10% larger than the amount of space that's actually used on the internal drive. If you don't already have such an arrangement, you're in no position to create one now except by going out and buying an external Firewire hard drive.

  • My laptop sound is coming out as an echo the sound isnt normal what does that mean?

    what does it mean if the sound on my laptop is coming out like a echo

    Hi
    You have a couple of options as I see it.
    Go to device manager and uninstall the Sound driver and restart and unit will install the driver automatically.
    Try doing System restore to the date when the unit was working fine.
    Try to update the driver from hp.com website for Audio & Bios.
    Let us know how it goes!

  • HT4060 My ipad has been charging most of the morning but its still saying low power...what does that mean?

    I've been charging my ipad most of the morning but its still saying low power...what does that mean?

    iPad Charging
    "The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included USB Power Adapter.
    iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter.
    When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
    Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain."
