    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page should let you reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    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 you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • I have activated the genius for Ipad and the message that It was a success never disappears . It is impossible to access the itunes or apple store. What can I do?

    You have encounter Activation Lock, the antitheft feature of the iPhone. The previous owner did not remove the phone from their account. The phone cannot be used until they do. Return to the store and let them sort this out. It is very unusual for someone to "forget" to disable activation lock, as it is necessary to do so to erase personal information on the phone. So it is quite likely you bought a stolen phone.

  • My iTune is not connecting to Apple Store. What can I do?

    My iTune is not connecting to Apple Store. What can I do? I do everything. Log in and all requirements. Few days back its working properly but not right now.

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes for Windows forums.

    You will need to contact iTunes Support, which you can do so via this link and ask them why the message is appearing (we are fellow users on these forums, we won't know why the message is appearing) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • I buy the apple ipod from Channel Island Jersey UK and is dont find in the list of country to register for apple store. What i can do?

    i buy the apple ipod from Channel Island Jersey UK and is dont find in the list of country to register for apple store and i chose UK but my address biling for bank is in Jersey Uk. What i can do? wen i put the post code from jersey is tell that" Your post code does not mactch the country you selected for the Itunes store"

    I also just bought macbook pro completely legally and officialy.
    You can't officially buy an Apple product as far as Apple is concerned, in the Ukraine if Apple says that there are no Apple Authorized venders in the Ukraine.
    Here (in Ukraine) are official Apple's service centers, as like as in Belarus and Russia.
    According to Apple there are no Apple Authorized Serve Providers in the Ukraine.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434
    And why should I care about those kinda "support lists"?
    Because those lists are the official Apple statement of the state of affairs in your country. If you country is not on the list then Apple has no legal or official obligation to you or any products that you have managed to buy in the Ukraine.
    this is, for example, official distributor of Apple products in Ukraine.
    Not as far as Apple's statement on the issue is concerned.
    I bought legal macbook and have right for legal support, and that's all.
    Yes, if you get the product to a country with officially and legally Apple Authorized Service providers. There are none in the Ukraine.

  • I downloaded Itunes 10.6 but my computer said itunes is not a 32 bit version.  It said to download the 64 bit version.  but it was the 64 bit version. What can I do to fix this.

    I downloaded the update itunes 10.6 and My computer won't install it.  It sais that the program is a 32 bit version that I needed to download the 64 bit version.  But it was the 64 bit version.  I am thinking about getting rid of my ipod and itunes.  I wish I hadn't upgraded.  Now I can't even use itunes.  It loads up but it won't go onto itunes store.

    You already have Shockwave Flash 10.2 r152 installed for Firefox on the PC you used to post here, see your ''More system details...'' next to your posting.
    There are no 64-bit builds of Firefox made, only 32-bit currently. There are some 3rd party builds floating around out there, but Mozilla doesn't allow them to be named Firefox - they would be called Namoroka for 3.6 versions. Mozilla does have a Minefield 64-bit build for 4.0-pre versions, but it won't be available as Firefox until probably Firefox 5 is released.
    If your situation is with a different PC than what you used to post here: <br />
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
    * On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />
    See this: <br />

  • HT1338 Yesterday, I purchased Mountain Lion OSX and tried to download it but I don't think it worked.  How can I tell if I am using Mountain Lion and how do I get help if the download was unsuccessful?

    Yesterday, I purchased Mountain Lion OSX and tried to download it but I don't think the download worked.  How can I tell if I am using Mountain Lion and how do I get help if the download was unsuccessful?

    Click your Apple menu icon top left corner of your screen.
    From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
    If Mountain Lion is installed, it will say:  v10.8
    If not, launch the App Store. From the App Store menu bar click Store > Check for Unfinished Downloads
    FYI ..  for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation.

    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes.  This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • HT6154 Hi there, i have bought a iphone 4 from graiglist , and when i turned the phone on , its asking for the Apple ID for the previous owner which i do not have, but i have my own apple ID . WHAT CAN I DO TO SOLVE THE ISSUE. YOUR HELP PLEASE

    **** there,

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • Last time i bought iwork retail v9.0.3, then i tried to install it but it kept showing the error message. After i updated my mac, the iwork asked for a serial number and until today i can't use any of the iwork application. How can i solve this problem?

    Hoping for a solution since i need to have this iwork to 'work'.. Too many assignments need to be done and i am sick of going to the library to use the desktop there. Thank you =)

    I think you have two separate issues & I'll try to answer in the order you need to address them.
    First, it seems you have/had the trial of iWork '09 installed. It used to be that to update the trial to the licensed version with the box, you just inserted the DVD & ran the installer to convert the trial to licensed. This has changed with Snow Leopard. You now need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
    Next, you need to update iWork '09 to 9.0.5. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

  • I cannot access my hotmail/windows live account from my home computer I get an error message, but accessing with another computer is no problem what can I do?

    I have restarted the home computer several times and updated to firefox 4.0 I checked for enabling and disabling cookies and it says that 3rd party cookies are accepted and to keep until they expire

    Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
