    Double click home button, then swipe up on app picture (not the icon itself)

  • I just got an iphone 3GS and am trying to set up a game center account and it lets me log in with my apple id and password but when it come time to set up a nickname it tells me my email is already in use with another apple id. How do I fix this?

    I have been trying to log in to the game center for 2 days now with no luck. I have an apple id and have never used game center before. It keeps telling me my email is already in use with another apple id and I have no idea how to get around this and would like to be able to play my games.

    If the problem persists, you'll probably have to make another apple id, it wont take off any games or music or apps or anything you've bought it will all stay there, i have two apple id's and i don't have a problem with anything.

  • How can you repair a MacBook air when it won't start properly?

    My MacBook Air is just over 3 years old and thus out of warranty.
    It gives a message that says the Preference Pane cannot be opened. Mostly the screen is black but sometimes (oddly) Adobe Bridge has a window ... but I cannot move to any other application.
    1) is Genius Bar only available if your product is under warranty?
    2) is there no way to check it? No recovery shows up when I option-restart.
    Advice would be appreciated. the closest Apple store is an hour away.

    Backup your files. If you have a 2010 model that came with a set of two software discs then do the following:
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. If you wish to upgrade to a later version of OS X, then do so on the App Store.
    If you have the 2011 model then do this:
    Install or Reinstall Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, or Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
    OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • How can you make it so that when a person from a company calls me it shows their name and company on the screen

    I use my iPhone for work as well as personal. However for work, I have noticed that when someone rings me, for instance Bob Mansfield from Com tec, the phone screen states just 'Bob' and no other details. I have the best part of 6 Bob's in my contacts all with different surnames and company's. Is there a way that I can get my phone to show more info on the person calling. For instance, surname and company if applicable? Any help would be much appreciated.

  • How do you get to verify ID if ICloud won't let the owner in

    I would like to know?
    As a first time owner of an Apple device, how is it possible to verify your account in your ICloud email address, when you cannot login into it, though I am logged in here and logged into Apple home page that I could get this far.
    It seems really amazing how simple this could be and yet it is the most difficult thing in the world.
    Now that I have already used up my head (brains), energy and time in creating ID, will that ID now go to waste if I am going to be directed to "just create another ID".
    I really don't understand how this can be secure.
    Example; I get my device, thinking yes, let me get it all done before I have something else in my life to do.
    My 10 year old email address, confirms it is where I will send my rescue ID.
    I think perfect.
    Then I go to install facebook, which directs me to enter my password, "mind you, I am already logged in my Apple ID".
    Which now says I have to verify my Apple ID in my ICloud email address, where I have no folder for, like my 2 hotmail accounts and my two Yahoo account.
    I trail through my settings where I find ICloud. I see it load in a frenzied spin to verify.
    Then after that verification check, I see "Account Not Verified" "go to ICloud email to check verification link.
    Ok, click, then touch on ICloud, enter my already "logged in" account to find, am not verified enough to enter my apple icloud email account, to verifiy, wait for it. My Apple ICloud account.
    Hold on, now am getting "My account is already logged in, but am still not verified.
    In the mean time, my mother is on her death bed and my sister needs a hand for all the pain she's having with the cancer and that.
    Am presuming all my replies are going to my icloud account, which I can't get into, instead of my recovery hotmail account, which has no idea what problem I am facing.
    But never mind, a gunius will fix it sometime later, hopefully without teling me "Why don't make a new ID"
    Oh yes, it has been upgraded in less that 12 hrs of having the device and I have been trying with this device since 6pm - 6am UK London Time

    OK, so, in a nutshell, what is the specific issue you are having and what is the question?
    Cheers,

    If you are using your Apple ID email for Messages, is it still working for all other aspects in the iTunes Store and the App Store ... can you download and update apps?
    I'm not sure at all why your email address would be deactivated by Messages.

    How do you change the settings so when you search your iPad it doesn't show the iMessages?

    You could adjust the mailnews.tcptimeout preference, as explained in the 2nd point in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Can_not_send_large_attachments this article]. Also, make sure there's no security program scanning outgoing mail attachments.

    You could try going into settings then messages and seeing if you have it turned on. You will need to use your apple ID then, hope that helps.

    It should be Noted that anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID.

  • I signed into my Apple ID on a new phone and I already had it on my iPod. When I signed into the new phone it won't let me buy anything unless I know my old security questions but I don't know the answers to them. How can I get past those or change them?

  • How do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3?  i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow.  i see how you do it when you just play a slideshow.

    how do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3?  i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow.  i see how you do it with presets when you just play a slideshow, but i don't see an option to randomly shuffle the slide order when you create a new slideshow.  i know you can sort it by different fields, but i want it to be random.  thanks.

    If you want to rearrange images in random order you can try an AppleScript:
    retrieve a list of selected images from Aperture
    shuffe the list properly
    create an album in Aperture and add the images from the list to the album (make sure that the album set to be orederd manually)
    Here  is a sample script that shuffles the selected images and displays them in random order in Full Screen Mode:
    on removeItem(ims, i)
      -- remove the item at position "i" from a list ims
              if ims is {} then return {}
              if (length of ims is 1) then return {}
              if i < 2 then return rest of ims
              if (i = length of ims) then return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims)
              if i > (length of ims) then return ims -- should be error?
              return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims) & (items (i + 1) thru (length of ims) of ims)
    end removeItem
    on shuffle_items(ims)
      -- shuffle the items of the list "ims" randomly
              local numitems, ims_shuffled, nextrest, nextpick, i
              set numitems to length of ims
              if length of ims < 2 then return ims
              set ims_shuffled to {}
              set nextrest to ims
              repeat until nextrest is {}
                        set i to (random number (numitems - 1)) + 1
                        set nextpick to item i of nextrest
                        set beginning of ims_shuffled to nextpick
                        set numitems to numitems - 1
                        set nextrest to removeItem(nextrest, i)
              end repeat
              return ims_shuffled
    end shuffle_items
    on shuffleIms()
      -- retrieve the selected images from Aperture
      -- and display them in random order in full screen mode
              local imageSel, shuffled, i
              tell application "Aperture"
      activate
                        set imageSel to (get selection)
                        set shuffled to my shuffle_items(imageSel)
                        set fullscreen to true
                        if imageSel is {} then error "Please select some images."
                        repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                                  reveal {item i of shuffled}
      delay 3 -- chnage that to the time you want
                        end repeat
                        set fullscreen to false
                        return shuffled
              end tell
    end shuffleIms
    shuffleIms()
    Some more code snippets to go from here:
    To create an album:
                        tell library 1
                                  if not (exists album "shuffledAlbum") then
      make new album with properties {name:"shuffledAlbum", image version:shuffled}
                                  end if
                        end tell
    And to add the images from the shuffled list to the album:
                        repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                                  duplicate item i of shuffled to album "shuffledAlbum"
                        end repeat
    Regards
    Léonie
