"You've reached your device limit"
I am managing 25 ipads for teachers to check out from the same account and I have backed the image up to the cloud. I can no longer restore from the cloud because I receive an error message that says "You've reached the maximum number of devices in the last 90 days." Help!
I too have this problem.
My iPhone was replaced as there was a problem with it. When I attempted to restore from iCloud onto the new phone, I got the message "You've Reached Your Device Limit". I only had 6 devices enabled. All of my contacts, messages, account settings etc. would restore but any third party apps would not, they would be on my home screen, but greyed out and 'Waiting'. Attempting to tap on the app to get the download going would result in the same error message about device limits popping up.
I spent almost 2 hours on the phone with Apple about this and a solution wasn't found. Lots of different things were tried, turning iTunes Match off, signing in and out of iCloud and iTunes storeaccounts then restoring the phone. Every time the same thing happened. If I deleted an app, then tried to install it fresh, it too would just say 'Waiting'.
I was able to download an app on my Mac and transfer it across however.
There was a work around though. The Apple person I spoke with contacted the iTunes store team who deleted any apps that were in my download queue. I then deleted all troublesome apps from my iPhone, went back into the app store app, updates, purchases, not on this phone and then reinstalled apps I wanted back.
Not ideal, but at least I have all my apps back. Apple themselves don't know why this is happening and they do have engineeers looking into it. I just hope now nothing happens to my phone and I don't need to restore from iCloud in the next 90 days.
Anyone with this problem I would recommend backing up to iTunes and then if you do have to restore your phone do this through iTunes as the problem is only with iCloud restores I believe.

Help plz this massage comes up when i restore from iCloud. You have reached your device limit also says Ur apple id has been restored to the maximum number of the time last 90 days.
Have you shared your AppleID with anyone - family member or spouse? Any given AppleID can only be associated with 10 devices at a time (five of which can be computers). Once you reach that limit, the 90 day timeout applies before that AppleID can be associated with another, new, device.
You can see the explanation here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
All you can do is wait the 90 days, sorry but I know of no way around that. If you think the message indicates an error though, then use the Express Lane web support pages to send a note to the AppleID support folks. -
Why am I getting a "You've reached your device limit" error?
Help, I bought a new iPad and got a warranty replacement of my iPhone 5 last night. I restored my iPhone and I got that error, but all of my apps and setting loaded, but then, when I tried to restore my new iPad using my ipad 2's restore, I get that error. I currently have active on my account
2 iPhone 5's (mine and my wife$
1 64 gb new iPad
1 16 gb iPad 2 (which is now going off my account and on eBay)
So I don't need the iPad 2 to be synced to my account anymore, but I don't want to delete it until I can start using my new iPad. How do I deactivate my ipad 2 do I to open a slot for my new ipad and restore it?I tried this and still have the same issue. I went in a removed a handful of associated devices in Manage Devices in iTunes, restarted my phone and still get the same "You've reached your device limit. This Apple ID has already restored to the maximum number of devices in the last 90 days."
What's really frustrating is that this was caused by having multiple consecutive replacement iPhones from the Genius Bar. When I was given a replacement I restored from my iCloud backup but the phone was defective so I had to get another and do the same the very next day. Now I can't restore any of my third party app data to my current phone and have no path for resolution.
Does this mean I have to wait 90 days to use my apps?!? If thats the case I might as well have my old Nokia Razor.
I'm out of town and away from my primary computer for weeks. Not to mention I've put my faith in iCloud and assumed my content was safe and available when I needed it so I don't have a backup on my computer that I could restore from even when I do make it back home. -

- Try restoring on another computer.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I was trying to email a link from a webpage I loaded in safari. The email sits in my outbox with a red exclamation point. WIll not send. Keeping getting an error message sending the message failed because you have exceeded your sending limit
"I keep getting a "you have exceeded your limit" on my email."
No explanation, makes no sense, it's happening with others.
I have to change (in my outgoing/unsent folder) my sending address from .mac to me.com. After reading the following helpful post:
To get outbox individual mails sent, Try going to outbox, opening each email to edit and change sending email to [email protected] by clicking arrow in from line. If [email protected] account does not show, go to settings > mail > icloud account > add "[email protected]" And, until this issue is resolved, set mail to send from [email protected]
(and you should be using smtp.mail.me.com) -

The trigger to this error?
I had the ufc preview on my android app, pressed the home button to goto home screen but keeps BT app running, I returned to app later but had to tap again to watch. Now i cant load screen with this error.
BT you cant restrict people to 1 stream, because if there is dorment connections then these type of errors popup Especially when it appears to have a high timeout I have been getting this error for the last 20 mins.
So up it to 5 connections or something please so it still works when is ghost connections.legitimise_sailing wrote:
BT must be picking on you personally then.
if you havent got anything useful to say then dont say it.
Yes its obvious connections arent been closed clearly, but its not obvious which side the problem is the app side or the BT server side its very unlikely to be the device side given other services work fine, if device side you would be actually blaming the android OS, there is also no logical explanation as to why I cant make a 2nd connection. But regardless I dont have these problems with other services of the same type such as netflix, lovefilm and sky go, as well as iplayer.
A quick google confirms others have this same problem, and of course people were having this problem in the masses during the liverpool game.
But I guess your theory is BT must be picking on all these people also. If you dont know the reason then dont resort to shooting down the messenger.
Connections not closing cleanly its part and parcel of the internet it happens, anyone designing things that assumes connections will close cleanly 100% of the time is a bad internet software designer because it will happen.
The problem is easy to repeat, I can even do it deliberatly.
1 - Open up the BT app, leave it on the tv schedule page for a while, but dont do anything, then when trying to play something the connection doesnt work as requires to relogin but this causes a ghost.
2 - Press the home button with a video playing to return to the android home screen, this appears to cause a unclean discconect.
A better idea is for BT to have a autorised device system, each of these devices can connect as much as they want but limited devices, this is still protecting from unauthorised access but stops the vc010 error. -
Two days ago, I left my New iPad on a plane. My bad, I know. However, whoever sat in the seat after me, helped themselves to a brand new iPad and did not turn it in to the airline. So far, Find My iPad has been no help. The device appears offline. I feel fairly sure that whoever took it has at least turned it on. I've sent messages but no one has called. I've also done a simple search to see how difficult it would be for someone to reset the device to factory and there are plenty of websites giving instructions on how to do that. At any rate, I registered my device with Apple, which includes the serial number of the device. If Apple had a registry where I could list it as stolen, when the culprit attempts to register the device, Apple would flag it as stolen and perhaps it could be recovered. I appreciate the "Fine My iPad/iPhone" app for when I misplace one of them in my own home or office, but in this case, it was no help at all. I only had my new iPad for about a month and now it's gone. I will buy a new iPad because I love it and really use it alot, but I'll be afraid to take it anywhere. What's the point of having a mobile device if you are afraid to take it anywhere?

What does this mean? Has anyone seen before?
Most e-mail servers impose limits on how many messages you can send per day and how many different e-mail addresses you can send messages to per day. This is a measure to prevent spam, and you're unlikely to hit those limits unless you're sending messages to a very large group of people. Generally, those limits are somewhere in the hundreds.
If you haven't been sending that much e-mail, or to that many recipients, then your e-mail account may have been hacked and used to send spam. See:

Can you charge while your device is off?
Hi,
I have an iPod touch 4th Generation running iOS 5.1 and I was wondering if you can charge it when the device is off. Also, I know that if the device is off, and you plug it in, it will turn back on. So, when the device is plugged in, can you turn it off, then have it charge?Yes, you can. After you plug it in and it turns back on, just turn it back off and "Slide to Power Off." It will continue charging.

ACSM file reached GOOGLE DEVICE LIMIT
Hi
I recently purchased a E-bbok from Google book and it appears to be a ACFM file. then I downloaded it to my laptop and open it with ADM.
At this point, I authorized my laptop without any ID.
Then the system broke down and I re-installed the OS
When I tried to re open the ACSM file with ADM, it showed E_GOOGLE_DEVICE_LIMIT_REACHED.
SO HOW CAN I FIX THIS PROBLEM?I recently formatted windows, in doing so I had backed up my old Adobe Digital Editions library. /Documents/My Digital Editions/ I tried opening an ebook from my Google Book store by downloading. It prompted to login and I selected the option to authorize for this computer. After that I started to receive the error that everyone else got. I think opened up the digital library seeing my books there that I had copied over. It asked me to input my authorization information again. Then everything started to work and I'm not able to download again. Hope that helps.

"If you exceed your iCloud storage limit, photos and videos won't upload to iCloud, and your library will no longer stay up to date across your devices." Really? Can't we support the existing "last 1k photos will be available in the cloud" model? If we don't do this, won't this kill auto-sync of new photos from iOS devices to our libraries on our Macs (if the Mac's Photos app has auto syncing with the cloud turned on) once we go over our 5gb limit? I have 350GB of photos in my Mac Photos library - I am not going to pay $20/month for 1tb iCloud storage. Please advise, Apple. Thank you.
I agree and am baffled by this also. At first I was really excite about this new feature. Mostly because I would be able to seamlessly sync videos along with my PhotoStream. I just assumed there would be some systematic way to handle large libraries. Like removing older files as the current PhotoStream does. However, it appears that this new feature will simply 'shut down' when you reach your storage limit. This just makes no sense to me. I would have to double check, but I have all my photos and videos in iPhoto and stored on a 3 TB external hard drive and I think the full library is over 1 TB. So, even if I was willing to pay $20 a month for photo syncing (which I am not) I couldn't do it because my library is too large. Again I am just baffled why Apple cannot blend this new service with the existing PhotoSteam model. My favorite aspect of PhotoSteam is that is uploads all my iPad and iPhone Photos to my Mac for permanent storage and it seems this is lost in the new version.

You Upgraded to OS 10.2.1 and want to run Android Apps on Your BB10? Install Snap to Your Device!
If you've upgraded to OS 10.2.1.x on your BB10 device you can now install any free Android app directly to your BB10 smartphone directly without any special converting and without the need to connect to your PC. This opens up BB10 to the thousands of Android apps available in the Google Play store. However, you need an app to quickly search for and install these Android apps.
The best app available so far is called Snap. Unfortunately, Snap can't be installed directly to the device since it's a native BlackBerry app and is not yet available in the BlackBerry App Store. However, it can be quickly loaded to your BB10 device using your PC.
Here is a quick and easy way of installing Snap on your BB10 device using your PC. Once Snap is installed on your device you won't need your computer to install Android apps on your device!
1. Download Sachesi for your computer Platform, i.e. Windows, Mac, Linux (Don't download the Sachesi bar file for BlackBerry or the apk file for Android)
Sachesi
2. Download Snap from here:
Snap
3. Connect your BB with the USB cable.
4. Double click on the Sachesi app you downloaded.
5. When it opens, click the "Install" tab. (If your device requires a password enter it here.)
6. Drag the Snap bar filed you downloaded in step 2 into the box under the install tab. As soon as you drop the file it will load to the device.
7. That's it! You can disconnect your device and enjoy direct downloading of Android apps on your BB10 device by opening Snap and using your Google Account.
Note: Not all Android apps will run on the BB10 and, occasionally, an app will not work quite as expected. However, the vast majority do run normally.

Hello John_Clark Excellent contribution. Valuable information for all who want to upgrade and not wait until the update is releasedby our operator. It would also make a good listing of operators which has released 10.2.1
And which have not yet released. Regards. -
What happens after you pay off your edge device
What **… I thought vz had come back to earth… but apparently after you pay off your device (or if you just buy it outright), they charge you the subsidy portion of the line charge again. That makes no sense whatsoever…. they charge you the same amount, whether they subsidize a phone for you or not. That makes no sense. People, stop paying it!!!
none of the other carriers do this anymore… we all understand subsidies (well apparently not)… if you go to any of the other carriers, and you do not buy a phone on contract, your service is less expensive because they don't need to recoup the money they "lost" on the phone. But Verizon continues to charge you regardless…
If you go to ATT, you can get 10gb (yes 10), 2 smartphones off contract, 130/mo. You can even use their version of EDGE and still pay that same amount (plus your device payment)… and guess what, when your done paying for your phone, they don't increase your service charge. If you do the same on VZ, your bill will also be 130, but when you pay off your phone, they jack your bill up to 180….
I think if VZ just came out and said "Look, we are the best, so we charge more. Period." I'd respect that… -
Can you still configure your device to erase itself after ten consecutive incorrect password attempts if you can't unlock the screen due to forgotten passcode?
