    Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
    - Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.                
    - If you are up to file manipulation see the following but it may not work for iOS 6.1.3 or iOS 7

  • When I try to install Maverick on the HD I get this message: This disc is used for Time Machine backups.

    When I try to install Maverick on the HD I get this message: This disc is used for Time Machine backups and then nothing happens!

    Try looking in Finder at your Macintosh HD.   Look to see if there is a backups.backupsdb folder at the root of the hard drive.  That's a folder that Time Machine makes on external hard drives to store the backups.   If you have one there, some one put it there; rename the folder or delete it.  Then try installing again.

    when i try to download mavericks i can't . it said that i need at least 2 Go of memory but i have a lot. What to do?

    Also, if you really do not know or sure of what you are doing,
    Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be wise, advisable and very prudent if you backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected USB, Thunderbolt or FireWire 800, Mac formatted hard drive. Then, use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR purchase, download, install and use a data cloning app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive.
    This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy to return your Mac to its former working state.
    Then, determine if your Mac meets ALL minimum system install requirements.
    To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
    MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Your Mac also needs:
    OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
    2 GB or more of memory
    8 GB or more of available space
    Next,
    If you run any older Mac software from the earlier PowerPC Macs, then none of this software will work with the newer OS X versions (10.7 and onward). OS X Snow Leopard had a magical and invisible PowerPC emulation application, called Rosetta, that worked seamlessly in the background that still allowed older PowerPC coded software to still operate in a Intel CPU Mac.
    The use of Rosetta ended with OS X Snow Leopard as the Rosetta application was licensed to Apple, from a software company called Transitive, which got bought out, I believe, by IBM and Appe  could no longer secure their rights to continue to use Rosetta in later versions of OS X.
    So, you would need to check to see if you have software on your Mac that maybe older than, say, 2006 or older.
    Also, check for app compatibilty  here.

    If you have any commercial antivirus installed and/or hard drive cleaning apps installed on your Mac, like MacKeeper, CleanMyMac, TuneUoMyMac, MacCleanse, etc. now would be a good time to completely uninstall this apps by doing a Google search to learn how to properly uninstall these types of apps.
    These types of apps will only cause your Mac issues later after the install of the new OS X version and you will have to completely uninstall these types of apps later.
    Once you have determined all of this, you should be able to find the latest version of Mavericks by clicking on the Mac App Store icon in the OS X Dock and then login to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID and password.
    You can then begin the download and installation process of installing OS X 10.9 Mavericks from the Mac App Store.

  • When I try to install itunes I get an error message that says "Canot access internet conection \."  Can someone please tell me what's wrong?  My internet connection is working.

    Okay. We'll try a different utility.
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    You don't. Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to originally obtain them & cannot be transferred to another Apple ID. You need to purchase the app using your ID.

    If you're able to contact the person who set the lock, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.
    If not, you can't use the device but may be able to get it refunded. Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)

  • When I try to install iTunes, I get an error message that Apple Application Support is required.

    When I try to install iTunes on my Windows 7 PC, I get an error message that Apple application support is needed. What do I need to do?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Application Support won't install normally. You could try this approach first.

  • I downloaded an app on my iphone,but when i try to install it on the ipad it says that the purchase wasn't succesful,what should i do?

    Hello guys,i purchased fifa 14 today on my iphone,when i try to activate the package on my ipad it says that the purchase wasn't succesfull.On my ipone it works normally and that why i don't get it.Should i pay another 4,99 to activate it on the ipad?? please help,it's my first purchase!!

    It is the same app, based on name, pictures on app store and price ranges in Appshoper. I don't think I ever used my me @me.com account I setup with my iPad to purchase, I just checked and have no purchases from it. Laptop is old, so old I don't use it that often, but I will check. 

  • This disk cannot be used to startup this computer message when I try to install mavericks.  Cant partition my SSD (which is verified) either - help!

    Hi all
    I am using Snow Leopard and have just downloaded Mavericks.  I have a 250 gig SSD with no partitions.  When trying to install I get a message saying 'this disk cannot be used to startup this computer" and disk utility has checked my drive and its fine, but I cant partition it either saying 'the partition cannot be resized Try reducing the amount of change in the size of the partition".  I have tried various sizes but nothing works.  Please help!

    Well, I'm puzzled by the fact that you have your 750 GB disk highlighted, yet on the right it is showing disk0s2 as having 750 GB with nothing on it although your Macintosh HD appears to be part of that disk0s2. I have no idea what disk0s1, 5, and 6 are or what they contain, but the only thing accessible seems to be your Macintosh HD - does that contain your OS? For comparison, here is a screenshot of mine (2 partitions on my internal hard drive):
    The area shaded in blue is the space my OS/apps/etc. occupies.
    Unless there is a viable explanation of your disk(s), my suggestion would be to boot into recovery, erase your drive, partition properly, and then reinstall from scratch. Make sure you have a backup first.

  • App store error (4) when i try to install mavericks

    I get error (4) at the app store when I ask to upgrade from OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard to Mavericks

    One solution is to log out of the App Store then log back in with your Apple ID and try downloading again. Check your Purchases page to see if it's listed there, then click on the Install or Download button.
    If that does not work, then you may have pirated software in your purchases list.

  • When I try to install Photoshop CS2 I receive a message that PowerPC is no longer supported.

    Hi,
    I bought a new laptop to my company to work at, and now im trying to install Photoshop on it.
    Since my last 2 versions of Photoshop have been upgrades and i only have the full version of PS2.
    I've been trying to install the PS2 but it keeps telling me "You cant open the installer cause PowerPC-program no longer is supported".
    So i've been trying to download it via ur homepage instead (yes the products are registered).
    But i cant seem to find any way to download my product from ur page? I've checked all over ur homepage but without any luck.
    Is it not possible to download a product from ur homepage that i've payed quite a fortune for????
    Hope i can get a reply asap.
    - Tore

    ToreHagman did you purchase a new Intel processor based Mac?  If so then the error message will be accurate.  Looking at the system requirements for Photoshop CS2 it appears it required a PowerPC based processor as opposed to an Intel processor.
    You might also be having additional problems if you are using 10.7 as Rosetta/PowerPC emulation support was dropped in 10.7 as well.
