Trash your settings folder you tried that correct?
You can relaunch AI and hold down the Command Option Shift keys at the same time to reset the settings.

My mom isn't willing to buy me another iphone because before I went to a concert and the speakers messed up half the screen. If its the software acting up can I get a free new one?

    Moisture has somehow entered your iPhone and specifically the camera. They will do an out-of-warranty replacement for $149 USD.

  • What the **** is this Upgrade My Library option all about?

    It says that for a bargain price of £2.00 I can upgrade my copy of Funf by Clinic, 25p a song it is and 40p a video. If I pay them for this, they will send me a new copy to replace my existing copy.
    Why oh why would I want to?
    What is it better quality or something?
    Funk dat.
    Explain it to me please somebody.

    Hi, STU9000!
    I think that Upgrade your Library thing is just so you can get the song or video as a DRM-free file. I'm really not sure if there is a quality difference; I have upgraded a few of my songs but I don't remember if the file sounded any different. You could try for yourself and buy one upgrade and see if there is a difference.
    Oh, and if I remember correctly, iTunes will ask you if you want to delete the old file after the upgrade; don't do that, that way you can compare the files.
    Hope this helps!

  • Solved Just wondering what the heck this app is called!! xD

    So i've been trying to find the name of this application. But maybe i'm not referring it correctly within the search so maybe you guys could help me. I'm looking for that app that originally comes with arch bang that is like a HUD with all the computer information and real time updates. Any Ideas?!?! also any suggestions on what i should use for a task bar? ohh also! is there anyway to get that cool predifind text that enters in automatically when you open a terminal on the original arch? i like that feature i think its pretty cool.

    I meant like. you know how in arch bang when you start up a terminal it automatically fills out a design of the arch logo and then it allows you to type in your commands--thats what i was looking for! just thought it would be cool to add.

  • I had a working Apple ID, yesterday I set my old iphone 4 for my mother, because I have a new one, from yesterday my Apple ID password stopped working, and to write here I had to create a new one. What the **** happened (this is another id)

    Hi,
    I'm writting from a new Apple ID.
    Yesterday i set my old iphone 4 for my mother. I own an iphone 5s.
    I wanted to update my apps on my iphone and it doesn't want to recognise my password. I'm sure of the password, because I've been using it for ages, and also every few days I use it to update the apps. I tried to reset it, but it doesn't send me the email for resetting.
    I created a new apple id with the same email, so I really don't know what to do anymore. I have applications that I payed for so I don't want them to be lost because of it.
    And my 5s and ipad are registred to the old apple ID.
    I am not able to call the support because I'm from Slovenia and it costs me to much to call.
    Sincerely
    Ana

    I said quite the opposite: a network error message is indicating, a network error occured.. <sigh> could be YT' fault, could be your ISP' fault, could be your fault, due to heavy 'optimizing' your OS by haxx, 'enhancers', manual closing of essentiell ports via tools as LilSnitch, mis-setting your router, .. etc.pp.
    Are there any other ways to put a imovie onto youtube with imovie doing it?
    sure.
    share your project from within iM 'Export using Quicktime..', choose approbiate settings, e.g. h264, 320x240, 15fps - and use YT's own upload routine in their site..
    QTpro is not needed within this process, read apple.com/quicktime about usage of the pro-features..

  • I have an Apple MacBook Pro and when surfing the web my computer will slow to a crawl and I will have a multi-colored spinning wheel visible until my latest request is handled.  What is causing this and is there a way to prevent this from occuring

    I have a MacBook Pro.  When surfing the web it will eventually slow to a crawl.  When this occurs, there will be a small multi-colored wheel spinning until my latest command is handled.  What is causing this and is there a way that I can modify or prevent this from happening?  Is there a setting that will prevent this?

    When you next have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select

  • HT204053 Apple offered to install iCloud, and I allowed it. Yet when I try to sign in to iCloud using my Apple ID email and pswrd--an ID that I've been using for YEARS--I'm given the message, "This Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account." What is

    To repeat my question, Apple offered to install iCloud, and I allowed it. Yet when I try to sign in to iCloud using my Apple ID email and pswrd--an ID that I've been using for YEARS--I'm given the message, "This Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account." What is going on?
    Everywhere I search on Apple's Support site says to sign in to iCloud using your "Apple ID," which I did. I've had my iTunes account for years (even migrated from the old AOL account system). It's the standard email+password that everyone is supposed to use.
    My main question is how can I have a valid Apple ID and not an iCloud account--if the two are supposed to be linked?
    Thank you for any help you can give me!
    tlj

    I've tried both. First, I tried on my pc, where iTunes had installed iCloud when it last updated. I have iTunes installed on this computer (and on my iPad and iPhone), but that wasn't the issue.
    So I went online, thinking I needed a separate iCloud Apple ID, but it prompted me for my current Apple ID and gave me the message about my ID being "valid" but not an iCloud account," which, lol, was what it had asked me to do in order to create one. I checked, and at least one other user is having the same issue. I'll attempt to copy/paste the Support request url: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4430653?tstart=0

  • I have a restriction passcode that I have no idea what the passcode could be. I know that I need to reset the phone to factory settings but how do go about doing this without losing all of my contacts and other info, etc? (mainly contacts)

         At some point, I don't even remember doing this it must have been so long ago, I set a restrictions passcode on my phone. This has become a problem now because I have so many apps that I do not ever use that take up so much space I can no longer take pictures or put more music on the device. I have read that I need to restore to factory settings but that once I do that I cannot restore to a backup because restrictions passcodes are saved in backups. Is there any way for me to restore my phone to factory settings and then get all of my contacts and perhaps as much other data back as I can? I have tried every passcode I can think of for the restrictions passcode (24 times! to the point that ever time I try and fail I cannot try again for an hour. To say the least, this is quite frustrating as is limits what i can do with my phone on a daily basis, whether it be music or taking pictures and videos etc. Can someone please help me solve this problem without losing minimal data? I have already backed the phone up to my computer as well as iCloud. Even the woman at the apple store told me I had to restore it to factory but was too busy to get further into it and I didn't have a genius bar appointment. If all else fails I can make an appointment and go in there. I just thought I may as well ask on here first to see if there was a way I could do it myself. Thanks for reading and hope you can help me!

    You can't. Restoring new means everything is erased. If you have a backup made before creating a restriction code, then you can restore that backup, but none later.
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.
