ICloud :: Accidentally Locked Computer And Forgot Pass Code?

Mar 24, 2012

I just turned on 'location services' on my computer, and it suddenly shut down When I turned back on, it says "please enter your pass code" with 6 blocks. At the bottom of the page, it says "YO!".

I think I was the one who remotely locked my computer using iCloud, but now I forgot the pass code. What can I do now? Continue guessing the pass code, or is there another way? By the way, it is MY computer, I did not take it from opsomeone else.

ICloud :: Forgot Password For Account In Apple Mail?

Mar 31, 2012

I don't know why but a recently I've been asked to enter my icloud password related to my iCloud e-Mail address. stupidly, I've forgot what my password is. is there a chance to reset it somehow? 

To explain the situation a bit better and what I've tried already, here a short discription of the situation: 

- I do have a appleID that is called firstname.lastname@gmail.com the related password is appleID_Password1.

with this combination I also conduct my purchases in iTunes and the AppStore. But to rule this possibility already out: It doesn't let me access my iCloud eMail account in Apple Mail. Funny enough, though, when visiting iCloud.com this is the combination with which I log onto iCloud incl it's mail service within the web browser. 

- the iCloud eMail address for whose password I am looking is called something like abcde@me.com. I have implemented it into my Apple Mail program running on Mac OS X Lion. Since setting up the account i've never ever been asked to enter my password. But now, out of a sudden, I was. And, of course, I couldn't remember it anymore. Hence, I don't receive any eMails sent to abcde@me.com anymore on my mac. 

Can somebody tell me how to fix it, if it is not the password for my appleID??

MacBook Pro :: Whole Computer Locked Up - OS X Not Start

Apr 28, 2010

I was just using my 13" MBP and using Parallels when the whole computer locked up. I had to turn off the computer by holding down the on/off button. Unfortunately, now the computer will not start up in OS X. Interestingly, I had linked my Windows side of the computer so that it can be opened in Parallels or Bootcamp; I can get the Bootcamp Windows side to start up with no problems (I'm using it now to write this).

ICloud :: Accidentally Backed Up New IPhone 4 With ITunes And Deleted All Current Data?

May 27, 2012

This process deleted all my current text history, call history, photos, music, ringtones and apps! It replaced all of that data with my old iphone 3G data (data being music, texts, call history, photos, music.) It's like my phone went back in time.. This all happened when I backed my phone up last night. I guess I accidentally backed my phone up to my old stuff. I don't know if I have my iPhone 4 info backed up somewhere..

MacBook Pro :: Locked Screen - Came Back And Computer Won't Unlock?

Jan 3, 2011

this has happened a few times in recent weeks. I lock the screen on my MBP (mid 2009) and go do something for a few minutes. When I come back, the computer won't come back on. I have to hold down the power button for ~10 seconds and shut the computer down hard and then power it back on. What the heck is going on here?

Software :: Transferring Files To External HD - Computer Locked

Apr 25, 2008

I'm trying to copy the contents of my 2nd internal drive to an external drive (Maxtor One Touch 4 Plus), but at some point during the transfer it stops copying and completely locks up my computer. Not sure what the problem is. I don't know if this is related, but when I try and repair the 2nd internal disk while I have any other firewire (or usb) drives connected, I get an error message "unable to unmount disk". When all other drives are disconnected, I do a repair and there is no problem. Is that normal?

MacBook Pro :: Flash Based Game Completely Locked Up Computer

May 23, 2012

I was playing a flash-based game when the game completely locked up my computer, and the only possible solution was to do a hard reboot (pressing and holding the power key). I waited and then restarted, but the screen had vertical and horizontal pixelated lines running through it all, and it froze several times during the startup process. The computer restarted itself several times, but it kept freezing while still in the grey screen. I tried starting it in safe mode, but I got the same results.

An attempt to run from the Lion restore drive didn't work, either. I reset the SMC and PRAM, and while resetting the PRAM changed the nature of the lines on the screen (narrowed them down), it didn't work, either. I finally got it to boot up, only to have it crash again when I attempted to watch a game on MLB.tv, which uses a Flash player. I have uninstalled and re-installed Flash, to no effect. All of this started after the latest software update from Apple. My data is backed up, but not through Time Machine. I have a 2008 16" MBP running the most updated version of Lion.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: How To Unlock A Locked Folder On External Drive When Locked Checkbox Greyed Out

Jun 26, 2012

I use an external hard drive for Time Machine backups and to store some larger video files in a folder called Videos.  The Videos folder on the external drive is now locked and I can't unlock it.  I go to Get Info, hit the lock icon and enter my password, but the "Locked" checkbox is greyed out in the General section.  In the Sharing and Permissions section, instead of displaying my name, it says "Fetching . . ." and I can't change the Privilege from "Write Only".

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Preview Shows Files As Locked While They Are Not Locked?

Jul 1, 2012

I can't seem to edit any pictures with Preview anymore since I upgraded to Lion.  Every time I try to save an image after resizing or whatever, it says the file is locked.  If I check the info of the file the "locked" checkmark is unchecked.  And I have all the permissions to the file.  Tried everything, switched the "lock after 2 weeks" thing of in Time Machine (even though tha would probably not help: images I took today are still "locked" in Preview), tried copying them and then saving them, and tried to lock them and then unlock them, but I can't seem to edit and save them.

OS X :: Won't Work With Locked Files / Not Locked In Get Info

May 13, 2009

Getting a message within photoshop that files cannot be saved as they are locked. I check the same files with 'Get Info' and the locked file box is unchecked. I have changed file permissions on the entire disc so that everyone can read/write but still the same message. Tried terminal command to uncheck flags also to no avail. I can do save as but a little frustrating. Is there a workaround to get all my files back onside?

This is a new disc that I may have installed without due care to permissions/ownership when I formatted it.

OS X V10.5 Leopard :: 7 Pass Erase Vs 3 Pass Vs Zero Erase

Apr 25, 2012

I want to start afresh on my HD, i.e. reinstall from original disks and use Disk Utility to secure erase (via Erase & Install).I've read articles about pros and cons + how to do it. So I think I know how to do everything.However, from my reading I gather that Zero Erase is a single pass random erase whereas 7 Pass is secure erase (and there is a 3 Pass secure erase option nowadays)?That got me wondering - does 7 Pass secure erase make 7 x single passes over the entire disk?If it does, then when the blue bar has extended a bit over a third of the way across the progress monitor (that little bar that indicates time left) it should have made 3 passes, which would be equivalent to 3 pass secure erase?Is that an option?Is it possible to stop part way through an erase (which is part of E & I)? My original disks 1 and 2 have OS X 10.4, with OS X 10.5 included as complimentary 3rd disk (because OS X 10.5 was just released at that time).I gather I need to erase with disk 1, then install disks 1 + 2, then install OS X 10.5.
