How can I find out what my security answers are? I am trying to purchase an app on a new device and it won't let me without answering and I have totally forgotten

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.

  • I have an iPhone 4S that is a replacement of a defective 4s and it shows over 3Gb of data backed up in the cloud from my old 4s. How can I find out what is in this backup? It is preventing me from backing up my new 4s to the cloud due to the amt of data.

    I have an iPhone 4S that is a replacement of a defective 4s. When I activated the newer phone, I believe I transferred over everything except pictures (had multiple failures trying to backup and restore). Now the phone shows over 3Gb of data backed up in the cloud from my old 4s. How can I find out what is in this backup? It is preventing me from backing up my new 4s to the cloud due to the amt of data. It may be duplicated info that I don't need or I may want to archive the backup or parts of it like pictures.

    You can not access the backup directly.
    Did you restore your replacement from this backup?
    If so then you already have everything in the backup on your device.
    If not, you can wipe the device and restore from this backup:
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
    What is it you are worried about losing that isn't already on your current device?

  • How can I find out what extensions (not plugins) are currently installed using JavaScript?

    I am creating a JavaScript module which detects if a Firefox extension is installed in the client's browser.
    I can check if a Firefox plugin is installed by querying navigator.plugins object, but I can't figure out how to do this for extensions.

    You can't check for extensions that are installed.<br />
    Plugins can be detected via navigator.plugins as you posted, but you can't detect extensions for privacy and security reasons.
    *https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM/window.navigator
    It the past it was possible to check for images added by an extension, but that access was blocked.

  • Changing Domain Administrator Password : How can I find out what all servers / services are currently using this?

    Good morning all,
    I took over as IT director for the school district in my town about 2 years ago, and we've had some techs come and go, all of which have had the domain administrator password (not my call, but my fault for not changing it by now).  I am about to change
    it, but before doing so I want to know how I can make sure what all this will break so I can quickly change the cached/saved password on whatever supporting services use this user/pass.
    Can anyone help here?
    Thank you!

    Hello,
    In my point of view if I were in this situation I would Change the domain administrator password. By
    Resetting the domain administrators all the services which use domain administrator as their logon user, will lose their functionality. I had this experience and I did change the domain administrator password with no problem. However do not
    forget to have a account lockout tool or script for locating the place where the account was locked out.
    But to keep it short most of the time. lockout problems are arise from mapped drives, credential manager and saved RDP sessions and etc.
    Regards.

  • How can you find out what number comment you are on within the comments list?

    Hi everyone,
    I have looked around but I cannot seem to find an answer to what seems a very simple request.
    I have a PDF with over a hundred comments on it and I am making (slow) progress through the comments list. I would like to estimate how long this job will take me to complete by looking at the time I have spent on the job and a which comment number I am at (e.g. I am currently at comment 60 of 120 - half way through).
    I cannot seem to find a way to do this without manually counting the number of comments I have been through already - which seems a watse of my time.
    Is there an easy way to do this? I am sure I am missing something simple here.
    Thanks in advance,
    twordz

    Sorry, I guess I mis-spoke. I thought that it will be numbered sequentially
    for the entire document, but I guess it's per page.
    The problem with numbering comments is that their internal order does not
    necessarily correspond to their physical location in the file. The internal
    order is based on the order in which they were created. Having said that,
    it is possible to generate a summary of the comments with sequential
    numbers for the entire file (not just page by page), but it would require a
    custom-made script.

  • How do I find out what my security question are ?

    I've tried to down load an I tune and they are asking me to answer two questions fav job fav football team I answerd the questions then it came back as wrong answers so can you pleas tell me how I can sort this ??

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

  • I have two iPhones on my iTunes account. How can I find out what apps go to which phone?

    I have two iPhones on my iTunes account. How can I find out what apps go to which phone?

    I don't believe that there is a way to do that.  I would sugest using automatic downloads to keep your apps synced across both phones.  You might also want to note that just about any app you have ever download will be available for free download via icloud.
    Wish I could be more help.

  • My hard drive is full, i'm being told i have 284.03 GB of other.  How can I find out what these files are so i can delete them?

    My Mac is telling me that my hard drive is almost full, i have used 7.65 GB for Audio. 16.58 GB for Movies, 9.89 GB for photos, 788.6 MB for Apps and 284.03 GB for Other.  how can i find out what "other" is so I can delete it?  I hope someone can help me.

    If OS X is reporting you need to remove some items you obviously have a more severe issue.
    To fix your issue is likely too complicated and lengthy to go into all of it here as it sounds like a OS X issue, it will require the services of person very familiar and experienced with Mac's to first recover your data and then restore OS X back to a functional state which may or may not require new hardware/software installed.
    If your under warranty or AppleCare, take it in for service.
    You can also hire the services of a local Mac computer support technician experienced in these matters.
    Have them look at your Wifi, RAM amount, extra storage and computer backup proceedures in the process.
    Good Luck.

  • I have a massive 267GB yellow 'other' file in my memory. How can i find out what it is?

    I am cleaning up my Mac and have gone through the usual processes of removing downloads, emptying trash and other usual cleaning up of unwanted files.  On my memory storage I have a massive yellow "other" usage of 267Gb but cannot find out what this consists of.  I have the usual music and photo files but how can I find out what this consists of?

    If it doesn't correct itself after a reboot, the Spotlight database on your Mac may be corrupted. Try re-indexing: Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes - Apple Support
