Hello , I bought an Iphone 5s gold GSM ios 7.1.2 16g and when I restored it, It locked by Icloud and I don't have any Number or Address of previous owner so what I have to do please help me thanks
You will have to contact the previous owner, only he/she can remove the phone from their account. You don't have any contact details for the person that you bought the phone from, email address, phone number, postal address ? If you can't contact them then you won't be able to reactivate and use the phone.

What is the maximum resolution available for use with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter?
Hey guys,
I found out an answer by myself...
The missing link : the MacBook Pro needs to be powered... as in you need to plug the charger in...
In conclusion, you simply plug everything, turn on the MacBook Pro, close the lid, and there you go ! -

Just bought an iphone 4s, it has ios 6.1.2. I cannot sent or recieve pictures via MMS. Help
iPhone 4S with AT&T. iOS 6.1.2(10B146). Cellular data on.Sending to an iPhone via MMS, send picture, starts to load, then red exclaimation point of death and "Not Delivered" Wont sent over 4G or WiFi. I saw a bunch of messages from late last year with this prob but nothing recent. Any help?
Are you using iMessage or just trying to send an MMS to a non-iMessage phone (i.e. to an Android or other smartphone)? In the most basic case, this means that you do not have an active Internet or cellular connection
1. Ensure your Internet is up and running on your iPhone
2. Ensure you have network coverage (i.e. try to call a number)
If 1 and 2 are successfull, restart your iPhone as per:
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1
Then, try sending the MMS again. -
Restore iphone with unknown apple id password
I have an iphone I would really like to use. It has been sitting for about a year. The previous user did not give us her icloud password and her account was not removed from the phone before she left the organization. I would really love to reset the phone and reuse it, but I do not know the password. There must be a way around this, can anyone help me out?
If the iPhone is asking for an Apple id and password ,it is locked by Activation lock
see here to understand
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
There is no way round this however if the fact that it is a company owned iPhone is correct then try contacting Apple Business Support they may be able to help..
However they will go through the details with minute care to ensure the facts are 100% and it is a genuine request
Contact Apple for support and service -
pls help.... with my problem with my iphone
The phone randomly shutting down-that could be a hardware issue. Do you live near an apple store? they could see whats up with the phone. It could very well be something in the software though. A good way to test it would be to follow this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 and test it for a few days. If it doesn't do the shutting down thing, you know it's a software issue. If it still does it, you know it's a hardware issue.
As far as deleting the apps, they'll always be there. Just make sure there's not a check mark next to them and they won't sync to your phone =] -
What flash player software is good for use with the Apple Mini?
I get "flash player missing" warning on news sites when I go to available videos. What can I do? I have a 2015 Apple Mini iOS 10 with 500 GB hard disc
There are no active reference viri in the wild for any of the hard-sold antivirus
applications to remove from the Mac OS X. You can use ClamXAV from its
maker's site (no other, as some are bad copies loaded with adware or malware)
here: http://www.clamxav.com/ that can help isolate and remove items that
you may get from someone's email who owns a windows PC, if you do not want
to forward those to some of your friends who use windows.
A larger concern may be adware and some kinds of malware, they are avoidable
but unless you are zealous about how you use your computer gear online, it may
be possible to get several items that can make using your Mac seem nightmarish.
Here are a few links to information that are best glossed-over before an issue so
you may have an idea what you may be up against when or if you do get adware
or some other malcontent from browsing corrupted web sites. Oh, also avoid the
torrent or bitorrent sites that offer file sharing or 'free downloads' that you later will
pay for one way or another. These can be tainted with badware that starts out in
a web browser, or perhaps if you get a bad copy from corrupted download online
of a known software but not from the maker's site (such as a copy of Flash, but
not from Adobe's own site) these can be a lot of work to undo their bad effects.

For Adobe Flash, which is not installed in OS X anymore, you could get it, or see
what else may be helpful to use to see video file content. I don't use it and feel
that if there is some great need to see a video (most are like trash) the better ones
now use HTML5 or some other technologies that just work in the browser w/o Flash.
If you need Flash be careful and keep the OS X updated and be sure to get Adobe
updates for their product. Some of their products are OK, but some are bloatware.
The links I posted on how to get the Adobe Flash (adobe help pages) are ones to
note. There are other items in their site which may or may not be helpful to you.
You may do well to start a new thread, or ask and someone could ask the ASC Hosts
to move your post into a new thread of its own; then any replies to it may appear to
your email used when you set up your account with the support communities forums
if you have yours set to announce activity or replies, etc to your posts here.
If your ordered Mini has at least 8GB RAM (it would be soldered in as part of the logic
board, and so not upgradable; unlike certain former builds that allowed user upgrade)
and if it has an Apple Fusion or SSD Drive, or a hard disk drive with 7200-RPM spin
rate, then it would like be quick enough going forward a few years. More random access
memory (RAM) is separate from drive storage or system hard drive capacity; these do
different things. A computer may temporarily use storage capacity as virtual RAM, but
it would be limited by hard drive data rate speeds, that are much slower than chip RAM.
A Fusion or hybrid, or SSD (solid state drive) can speed up the system since the files
that would end up being written to that drive and then read as temporary RAM, would
be moved in faster speed, so your computer function would be noticably faster. A stock
Mac Mini with hard disk drive generally has a slower 5400-RPM rotational hard drive.
This is slower than a Fusion hybrid and much slower than an SSD. The latter is more
costly than the other choices. A fair option if it exists, is a 7200-RPM hard drive, of up
to 1TB capacity, if available as a built-to-order option from Apple when ordered direct.
(An authorized Apple service provider could upgrade the storage drives with suitable
product replacement, and not void the AppleCare warranty; an upgrade at that point
may or may not be covered under an extended (optional) AppleCare plan.
If you ordered your Apple Mini mac from online Apple Store, you have certain time
limits to return it; and depending on which country or region you live in, the rules may
be different. In the US, you have 14 days from when you get it, to change your mind
and notify Apple. If you do not notify Apple (they will authorize a return before you can
ship it back or before you could return it to an official Apple Store in person) the time
limit goes away and you then are the owner of the item. So you do have a limit if you
bought from Apple directly, online or from the official Apple Store. If you do return an
item to Apple you bought direct from them, you could call on the 13th day, providing the
day you call to start the return process is a business day & not weekend or holiday, and
that may allow you a few more days to physically return the computer to them. If you
were to return to the Apple Store online (via fedex or acceptable parcel delivery with
tracking) be sure to check to see exactly when you would need to get it back to Apple.
{If bought direct from Apple & not an authorized independent reseller, be sure to ask
Apple sales when or if you have any issue; returns or pre-arrival, they can be helpful.}
And if you are not in the US or Canada, there still may be 14 days return, if bought via
the official Apple Store (retail location) or from the online Apple Store. This isn't available
through authorized resellers who set their own sales return policies as independent agents.
Anyway, hopefully your new Mini has sufficient upgrade to work well with Yosemite and
whatever applications you may need to load into it; some can be top-heavy in demand
of resources. That's why one has to consider the purpose prior to buying a configuration.
Hopefully this helps you somewhat.
Good luck & happy computing! -
Bought a unused copy of Photoshop CS but can't activate, please help.
On amazon i just purchased a old unused copy of photoshop CS for $200 (the only even remotely non disgusting/laughable price for a SOFTWARE like the photoshop cs's ranging from $600-1000+)
and the seller informed me, when i asked about it, if it could still be used and installed and the seller told me yes.
It arrived yesterday and i can't even get it to install or activate, the "activation server" is down, and the phone line auto-message says it no longer helps.
Did i get scammed and lost $200 (which i probably won't even be able to get refunded) and now am stuck with a photoshop disc that i can do absolutely nothing with?
Is there absolutely nothing that i can do in this situation?random66 wrote:
"owners of CS2 or earlier, should download the non-activation version of CS2 from that link" the link though says, "You can use the serial numbers provided as a part of the download only if you legitimately purchased CS2, CS2 applications, Acrobat 7, or Audition 3." It says CS2 but not CS, does that mean i couldn't use that link?
CS owners are happily downloading and using CS2 via that link.
Adobe has made no other option possible for owners of "activation required" versions earlier than CS2 so CS2 is your only option regardless of the wording at the link..
Does that in a sense mean no matter what CS copy you buy it will eventually be shut down and your access to it will be cut off even if you had bought it when it was still working?
No-one knows the future of deactivation of existing products. In the history of activation, Adobe has only ever shut down an activation server once (CS2) and made an alternative possible for owners of that version.
Activation is Adobe's inherently flawed attempt to curb casual piracy. It was always going to fail eventually. It only ever hurts legitimate owners of the software. The Cloud is Adobe's next gen anti-piracy measure.
I'm extremely repulsed by the idea of having to pay a monthly fee for CC and would rather pay a flat (but realistic) price for the CS, but will go to photoshop CC if there is no other choice because an online workshop classes program i'm looking to sign up for requires either photoshop CS or CC (but strongly discourages elements).
You can still purchase CS6 Creative Suite 6
If you're signing up for online classes, I would suspect they expect you to be running either CS6 or Cloud versions of the software.
Learning Photoshop online using 11 year old software sound like a recipe for confusion and frustration. -
What happens to a new user of iOS8 with one Apple ID?
I have one Apple ID that my wife and I use. I updated both iPone 5s' and her iPad Air. All of a sudden incoming calls started ringing on both phones whether they were calling me or her and the iPad was showing an incoming FaceTime call. iMessages began showing up on both phones and the iPad. I went to the Genius Bar for help with the phones, iPad, and my MacBook Pro for help. I knew the problem was in the settings somewhere. They showed me that I needed to set the Messages and Facetime settings the way I wanted these services to work. They found the phone numbers were not set up correctly and fixed that. Last evening my wife and I decided to check if everything was working as expected. We used our home phone to call each number and still had the same issue!!!! All the devices were ringing at the same time again. I went into the Messages and FaceTime settings again and unselected our Me, Mac, and iCloud addresses leaving the phone numbers as the only active service. IT WORKED!!!
Have any of you who have one Apple ID had to deal with any other frustrating issue?Hello de.donna2, I personally have not but my family all share the same account and trust me it is frustrating. So what I would advise doing is creating another account and then link it up with the new family share setting. Here you will be able to download each others apps and see what the other is doing.

iPhone User Guide (For iOS 5.0 Software) -
I just bought a MacBook Pro and am having some problems with the calendar and contacts list, and my problem could be causing other issues that I am not aware of. So, this is what's happening:
I had two iPhone5s associated with my Apple ID for a while. When I got this MacBook, and learned of Family Sharing, I decided that it would be better for each user to have their own unique ID. So, I have deleted and set up a new Apple ID and iCloud ID on the phone I want separated from MY Apple ID and iCloud. I want the computer to be associated with MY IDs, not the other phone. However, the computer still thinks the two phones are one in the same, despite the other phone being removed from both accounts and being registered with different IDs. Things I have noticed: The calendar on the computer still has the old phones calendar and still has all of the old phones contacts. When I went to use FaceTime and iMessage, the old phone number still shows up as an option. The old phone is still connected to something, somewhere, but I can't figure it out. My data, contacts, and calendars also show up, both phones show up all over the computer and I only want ONE phone, MY phone to show up.
Things I have tried:
Deleting the accounts from iCloud & iTunes
Updating the OS
Rebooting, phones and computer
Logging out and logging back in
Creating a new user account on the computer
Probably several other things I'm just not remembering because it's 4 am and I've been doing this since 11:30 pm and am completely exhausted.
I've literally been Googling and browsing this forum for hours and trying everything I see, but nothing is working. The computer still thinks it's connected to the old phone. It's making me crazy because the user has literally 39 alarms every single day reminding her to do different things. It makes me absolutely crazy because the notifications are popping up on the computer. PLEASE, HELP ME!The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.

Hi, my iphone its in recovery mode and when i restore my iphone 5s loading show the blue screen and show note on itunes (unknown error 14) please i need your help please . thanks
In the article Resolve iOS update and restore errors this is what it says about error 14:
Check your USB connections
Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4005, 4013, 4014, or “invalid response."
If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you may be unable to update or restore.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
Try a different computer.
If necessary, resolve any further issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
If you're still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues by following the next section. -
I just bought an ipad mini with retina display. On my settings page it shows an update occurring for ios.7.0.4 with the message "Estimating time remaining..."
This update and message appeared last evening but doesn't seem to complete. It also says "downloading", but nothing is happening.
How can I complete the download or eliminate it?If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up.
You should have a look in:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/Extensions
You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple.
