Open the Security pane of System Preferences and set it to require a password to unlock each secure pane. This is designed to stop people using the computer from changing the settings and won't do anything if an issue on the computer itself causes the change.

I am getting a "connection timeout" message when trying to access my Airport Extreme with various laptops, Play Station 3 and Wii. My Airport Extreme is about a month old; it was working fine until about a week ago. Suddenly, the "timeout" is not allowing me to connect to my wireless network.

It could be that there's a new source of interference.

Hi Pompey Woody,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you need to use a different Apple ID (iTunes Store account) with iTunes on your Mac, you can sign out and then back in with the other account:
Open iTunes. ...select Store > Sign Out, then select Store > Sign In and enter your current Apple ID.
These steps are found in this article:

When I set up my iphone, I logged in to my own itunes and icloud but it recognizes my phone as owner's which is my husbands phone. How do I go back and add my phone as it self?

When I set up my iphone, I logged in to my own itunes and icloud but it recognized my phone as "Owner's phone" which is my husbands, so when I synched it, it was his apps, etc...help!!

I would do this:
1. on the phone in settings/general/about in the name tap there and give the phone a name that you can recognise.
2. open itunes on your computer and attach th ephone using a cable
3. Click on edit then preferences then on the devices tab in itunes on the computer and have a look what backups are there (assuming you backup to the computer nand not the cloud. Is the backup of your ol dphone there?
4. Log out of whatever apple ID you are are in when your click on itunes store in itunes on your computer and log in with your own ID
5. With your phone attached to the computer and itunes open select your phone in the left column and right click on it and click on restore. It should allow you to choose the backup that you wish to restore from. Choose the back up of your old phone and not your husband's phone
I assume you have your own ID and that you are not sharing IDs

Hi i am have had a lot of trouble emptying my trash. when i go to put something in there it asks from my password and the item goes off the screen, but this does not clear any space on the hard drive.

1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/.Trash
2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu. An Info dialog should open.
3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
6. Close the Info window and test.

After taking a pix with my iPhone, it shows up in my Album. But when I select it to look at it or forward it, it disappears and the screen is blank. How do I fix this?

After taking a pix with my iPhone, it shows up in my Album. But when I select it to look at it or forward it, it disappears and the screen is blank. This doesn't happen with all of my pictures. I have the camera set on photo, with HDR off. How do I keep this from happening?

Not sure if this helps you, but I had the same issue. I inadvertently must have chosen a filter instead of none. Once I went and fixed this, my pictures were in my roll and I could see them. Hope this helps. I think you should be able to pick a filter and take a picture, but it worked for my phone.

Sorry should have said, when I log in my emails pop up momentarily. Then, it seems as if the pages aren't loading. A message comes up on the bottom left that the pages are loading, then errors occur and nothing happens.
Thanks

& it keeps trying to turn on but it wont . like the apple logo pops up for a minute , then turns off.

Had exact same problem. Rang Apple support and various apple repairers. All of them said in effect, too bad, you'll have to lose everything since your last backup. It's a work phone with very important stuff on it and the latest backup was on a computer that had a virus. Convergence of crap :/
Happened to talk to a friend who said to try replacing the battery. Did that. Problem fixed. All data saved.
To all Apple support people: rather than say 'once it's in recovery mode you lose all data' try saying 'replace your battery and see if that works first'!!!!

My ipod touch 4g doesn't work i didnt have charger at first and when my cousins came over i charged it with his it was full and the next minute it was empty. it gave me the warning sign. After tht it shut off and i ot my charger today and it wont turn on it also gave me a blue light which was kinda like an electric shock. Someone help plz

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Little hard to understand what you are asking. Let me guess that this not an Iphone4S issue. Its a problem with your service provider. Contact them.

when updated to 9.1.7 from 9. I need new serial and the old serial number doesn't work. How can i solve this?

There was no new serial needed to update from Logic 9 to 9.1.7
If your Logic 9 was an upgrade from Logic 8 it may be asking you for your original Logic 8 Full serial first and then your Logic 9 Upgrade serial...
Otherwise, it's best to call Apple directly and get them to help you...
