I can't unlock my setting to allow Time Machine. How do I fix this?

What happens when you click the LOCK? You should get a prompt asking for account name and password that has Administrative Priveleges on the Mac. Sometimes this prompt window is hidden behind other open windows.
Perhaps you are logged into an account with even more severe restrictions set by another administrator suing Parental Controls.
Can you unlock any other preferences in System Preferences ? A good think to try would be unlocking security and privacy settings.
Hope this helps.

I just bought my apple tv and it says that it can't set the date and time? How do i fix this?

I just bought my apple tv and it says that it can't set the date and time? How do i fix this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
A number of users have encountered this problem, for existing users the problem has largely been resolved by restarting the Apple TV. However since you are a new user it would be wise to check that your settings are correct to begin with. Ensure the router allows access over port 123 (TCP) and that you are using the DNS settings provided by the ISP and not your own.

My movies and music videos won't show up on screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this?

My movies and music videos won't show up on my computer screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this? I'm not sure what to do as far as turning my purchased movie into DVD goes either. I just want to put the movie onto a DVD disc but my itunes won't even show that I have a blank disc in the drive, I'm not sure what is wrong or how to fix this, any help at all would be much appreciated.

Hi @anthony7722 ,
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control. You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
Here are two links that I believe will help.
Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
Please try this process.
1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them but do not install them yet
2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
3. restart your notebook
4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
5. restart your notebook
6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver.
You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
I hope this helped.

Go into your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and see if there's a file titled Domain.sites. If there is double click on it and see if iWeb opens.
If there is no Domain file there do the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.

My QuickTime player us not playing .avi files and says I need a codec I can't play no .avi files on QuickTime. How could I fix this because I want to play these files with QuickTime.

Hmm . . . comes with a Utility MPEG2 Component ML app with no explanation of what it's for?
The utility app is an "assistant PKG installer." It allows Lion and Mountain Lion users to install the older QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installer PKG file which is not allowed to run on its own under Lion or Mountain Lion since these operating systems already have a QT X only MPEG-2 component embedded in the QT embedded structure. Without this utility you would have to either copy the component from an older system to your Lion or Mountain Lion system, use Pacifist for installation, or manually open the PKG contents and transfer the component to the appropriate component folder.
As to your "discussion" regarding the playback of AVI file types, there are really only two strategies here:
1) You can add component support so that QT can play the files natively or
2) You can convert the file contents to compression formats that are natively compatible with the unmodified QT component configuration.
Each user should decide for his or her own self which approach best suits their needs for a particular source file. In most cases, conforming the system's codec component configuration to play the source file directly results in higher video quality since no transcoding takes place but this strategy will not work if a codec which is required is not available for the user's operating system. On the other hand, converter utilities tend to support more built-in codecs and are easier to use since the user does not have to concern him or herself with the nature of the particular source compression formats but at the risk of some potential loss in visual quality. As to what converter to use, once again this is a matter of personal choice. In the case of commercial converters like iSkysoft, the codecs are built in while MPEG Streamclip accesses the host operating system's QT codec component configuration. I personally prefer the free HandBrake app for AVI, MKV, TS, MTS, and M2TS conversions since it has an exceptionally full-featured X.264 GUI with some user options that 97% of users are likely to never use.

Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
(The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?
If you still have the same error messages cropping up, then try the procedures from the following user tip:

After a restore, iphone 4 won't move past set up screen in itunes, how do i fix this?

After a system restore, my iphone 4 won't move past the set up screen when syncing with itunes, what happened? How can I fix this?

I had this problem too recently. I kept restoring as new iphone and it kept coming back to this screen after 12hrs of restoring. I got fed up and decided to select the set up as new phone and it popped over to the normal sync screen and started syncing all my apps back and set the phone up as it was.
Must be a bug in the system.

I keep getting "Could Not Set Up Apple Pay" right after I click on "Set Up Apple Pay". How do I fix this?

I have not set up my apple pay at all yet, so there are no cards on it. I open up Passbook, and click "Set Up Apple Pay" and it just pops up with a dialog box that says "Could Not Set Up Apple Pay" and nothing happens. Sometimes it asks me to log in with my Apple ID but then the box appears again. How do I get around this?

The credit card question is irrelevant because I can't get far enough in the process of setting up my apple pay to input a card. But if I were to get far enough, it would be the same card that is associated with my Apple ID.
My restrictions are all off.
I reset my phone and the problem still remains
Here is what happens in as much detail as I can explain: I awake my phone. I open Passbook, I then tap "Set Up Apple Pay" and 2-5 seconds later this is the screen I get.
It gives me no other options. I can select "Set Up Apple Pay" over and over again and nothing changes. This is the same result if I were to go through Settings > Passbook & Apple Pay > Add Credit or Debit Card.
I don't know what to do.

When ever i go to watch videos on youtube or any other apps, the screen goes black. you can hear the video but you cant see anything. how do i fix this?

i have an ipod tough 3g and its like about 4 to 5 years old it works perfectly fine except the home button is abit messed up and the ipod sometimes crashes. but other than that everything is fine. so i was watching something on an app and then al of a sudden i dont see the video i can just hear it. i then think its just the app but when i go on youtube the same exact thing happens. you click to watch a video and you can hear it perfectly but you cant see anything. the screen is just black when u ONLY watch a video. this happened last night so yea.i really hope somebody can help me figure out how to fix this and whats wrongwith it:)
thanks for your time and help!
Noor .T.

When it goes black do a very short press of the button on the right upper side of the phone and the screen will reappear. Make it a very short quick press.
OTOH, if you are using the speaker so you can watch the screen as you are talking when it goes dim touch the screen anywhere that it is blank and it will again go bright. On long calls you have to repeat this.
Many folks have had the same problem you described and what I have told you is the best and ONLY way around the screen going blank during a call.

Go back to the earlier version 1.72 After wasting 2 days on the problem this solved it. This is thanks to another user - no thanks to Adobe.
