What does it mean when you can't restore your iPhone4? After I run "restore" I receive a message telling me my phone is in recovery mode and I must run "restore" HELP!
I can't restore my iPhone 4. It went nuts today. Went to "voice control", called people on my contact list, home button is dead. Thought a sync would help. New software available. Did download. Can't load anything. Phone in "recovery mode" do restore. OOPS! I did restore, and then am told the phone is in recovery mode, do it all again. OK I have. Same message. HELP!
Thanks Larry. I ended up at the genius bar at the local Apple store. My home button had died which is why the phone was constantly going to Voice Control. The phone was replaced. Thanks for answering. I checked out the link and ordinarily that would have done the trick.

What does it mean when you can't send emails due to server not allowing relaying
Can't send emails re server not allowing relaying - why?

It means that you did not set up the outgoing (SMTP) mail server for your email account correctly. Most likely you did not enter your email address and password because it said "optional". It isn't optional. -
What does it mean when you can't burn a CD because you keep getting the error message with -3?
I have gone through a dozen CDs, trying to burn a playlist, and keep getting the error message that the burn is cancelled due to -3......
Is this due to a problem with the CD burner or with a bad batch of CDs?It may be a DNS issue. Where you would normally type "flylady.net"... just enter 208.87.85.216 instead. This is the actual address for the site. When you enter a website by name, it gets the actual address from a DNS server. There are tons of DNS servers out there and others who are getting to the site may use a different one. Just enter the numbers as shown (no "HTTP:", etc... just the numbers) and see if it works.

While updating/synching I have an error saying that my phone is in recovery; need to restore the phone before it can be used with Itunes. And the phone is frozen with a graphic of the itunes symbol and a connector. If I restore, I assume I will lose all my data. Can anyone offer suggestions on how to get around this? Thanks.
It should restore from the backup. If you don't have any backup then you will lose data but what you going to do you have no other alternative so go ahead and do it.

What does it mean when you get a "The iTunes library file cannot be saved. There is not enought memory available." ? And what can I do to correct it?
Well, I installed the latest iTunes this AM, works perfectly. Although for some reason it did lock up after playing a song today.
Horror stories? That's a bit overly dramatic.
No, it isn't.
The issue you are experiencing is one that has occurred in multiple versions of iTunes, a simple search would have revealed this.
A simple search was conducted, no one seemed to have an answer. Do you always adopt such a haughty attitude? Or was I just lucky. -
what does it mean when you're about to install itunes and it says This update requires OS X version 10.6.8 or later.??? i don't understand... Can someone please explain to me what that means...??? And how to fix it.
1. It means exactly what it says. Apple dropped support for earlier Mac OS X versions in iTunes 10.7.
2. Update the computer to 10.6.8. If it's running a Mac OS X version prior to 10.6, this requires buying a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store, which requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB of RAM.

What does it means when you turn on the macbook and a file with a "?" mark flashes?
What does it means when you turn on the macbook and a file with a "?" mark flashes?
It usually means some system files are missing or corrupted. Reinstalling OS X is the fix:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

What does it mean when you computer crashes and when you turn it back on it shows you a blank blue screen with a little folder and a question mark in the middle? It's a old imac from 1997.
I don't have original discs that it came with.
Then you still can use the second option with the keyboard combo I posted, called "resetting the PRAM."
Also when you way hold the c key down do you mean turn computer off and turn back on holding the c key?
Yes, or you can simply restart. As you don't have the CDs, this isn't on the plate any more.
The internal backup battery is not expensive and, in most iMacs is user-replacable. If yours has a tray-loading optical drive like this one:
it takes a major teardown to replace the internal battery. If this is the case, you'd be better off to leave the computer plugged in all the time; that eliminates the main reason for having a working battery.
If it has a slot-loading optical drive like this one:
things are much easier. The battery is visible through the RAM access door on the bottom of the computer case. The manual:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iMacG3_2000UserManual.PDF
has sketches of how to access the RAM and therefore the backup battery. Unfortunately, the pdf on the manual goes up sideways on-screen and the RAM instructions are pretty deep into the manual. It's probably easier to scroll (for a while) to the section on adding RAM and print the applicable pages.
When you work on the battery, some sort of non-conductive pliers or large tweezer or forceps help unless you have tiny fingers. Make sure to note the polarity of the old battery and install the new one in the same orientation.
The battery itself is readily available. If price is no oblect, you can get it for a small rasom from Radio Shack Store ("Tandy" outside the US) as part number 23-026.
Online, they are dirt-cheap even after adding shipping. I buy backup batteries form this outfit:

what does it mean when you get this message on the Iphone? "online maps consume data traffic"
That means that if you use online maps, it will consume data. If you're on WiFi, no worries. If you are on cellular data, then it will eat into your cellular data plan.

mrredrunner100i got my friend to message this person to see if they had the same problem, and the message went through and i think he got a reply, and all of a sudden this has started to work again (calls only) but apparently none of my messages went through that i have sent since the block activated. and they still havent even though there working again, and "apparently" a message was sent to me at 9pm today and it has never arrived. so imessage and text still isnt working, before i go asking this person about this, is this a genuine block or is there a phone problem?

what does it mean when you receive a text on your iphone 6 from your own number and the message is duplicated on each side (sent/received) and has "verizon message" with a long number at the end of the text, duplicated as well?
Great question stacybrownie! Let's get to the bottom of this so that it's not a cause for concern. When a message is sent to/from your own number, it will display as one sent, one received. This makes it display two messages as you are seeing. Let's clarify the second part of your question. Where do you see "Verizon Message" exactly? What is the long number at the end of the text? When did this start and is it with all text messages or only this instance?

This morning the Iphone prompted me to update software. After that it said my phone was in recovery mode and I had the restore my phone. Now most of the apps are muted and don't respond, help!
First, in iTunes, launch Preferences and go to the Devices tab. Check the date and time of the last backup. If it is recent you can restore it. However, if you mean you have the photos back in your Camera Roll then the backup was already restored. To get your music and apps back it should just be necessary to click "Sync".

I updated my iPhone with the new update..and then it turned off...instead of turning back on it tells me to plug it into iTunes..and when I do iTunes tells me that my phone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored..is there anything I can do without restoring it?
Same thing happened here ~ tech guy at a local authorized Apple repair store said it had something to do with improper backup from which the restore would be made. Still have a phone that asks to be connected to Itunes but won't do anything else . . . frustrated.
