I need help with an Apple ID problem...

I own a Macbook and an iPod touch, I have downloaded numerous apps for the iPod over the years. 18 months ago my boyfriend got an iPhone 3GS and created an Apple ID but it would not let him download apps due to some kind of issue registering his bank card. At the time I tried to sort it out and told him to get in touch with Apple support but he was impatient and wanted to start getting apps right away so I caved in and let him use my Apple ID. The next day I realised this was a stupid thing to do when all his apps started appearing in my iTunes. However I didn't see it as too much of a problem at the time...
Tomorrow I am going to pick up my shiny new iPhone 5 (my first iPhone ) and I am worried about plugging it into my Mac and having all these apps that I really don't want around in my iTunes. I am imagining an absolute pain in the bum trying to sort all these apps out and syncing them to the right devices? I would absolutely love to just shift all his apps over to his Apple ID, he has loads of stuff that he needs to keep now. He does not have a computer himself, but there is no real need to plug his iPhone into my macbook ever again. After having a quick read around the forums, there seems to be no simple answer to this problem. If anyone could help with this I would be extremely grateful!

You can't. All apps are forever tied to the ID used to originally obtain them. In your case, that would be your ID. He really needs to get his own ID, delete these apps, then purchase them using his ID.
For you, just delete what you don't want from your iTunes library.

  • I need help with a software update problem??

    I recently got a new macbook pro and I was doing a software update last night as it was required but then when it started to do the update the computer installed the software and then a barring noise came from the mac and it tried to restart 4 times before it eventually came back on. The software trying to install was Fireware 800 I think. Can anyone help with this?

    Try MacBook notebook forum to talk to other users, or OS Software (Lion or Snow Leopard)
    Does not sound like an Apple OS update though.

  • Need help with a very strange problem

    I've been using Macs since the Apple IIe and I haven't seen anything like this. I need some help "diagnosing" where the problem might lie, and what to do about it.
    I have the dock to appear and disappear automatically. But when I run the mouse down to the bottom of the screen, it doesn't appear. I have to "click" in that area to get it to appear. Also, when I select a menu in the finder or in an application, and then scroll through the menu items, they do not highlight as they should. I can click on an item to activate it, but they aren't highlighted as I scroll through.
    Also, in some applications, windows don't appear and disappear normally as they should. For example, with Adobe Lightroom I have it set up so that the adjustment panels on the left and right automatically appear and disappear. But they aren't doing that anymore.
    A restart and permissions repair will temporarily solve the problem, but it inevitably returns (sometimes within an hour, sometimes a few days). I have three users on my computer, and it happens in each user account.
    A couple days ago, I did an archive & install. That didn't fix it. Then yesterday I did a full reinstall of Leopard and then used Migration Assistant and Time Machine to migrate my users & applications to the new install. After I repaired permissions and rebooted, the problem was right there again.
    It doesn't seem like the problem is with a user account, since all three accounts have it. So why didn't a reinstall of the system fix it? And what can I do now?

    Althought the behavior is the same in all three accounts, if all are working accounts I would suspect there is something all of them have installed that could be the source of the problem. Try creating a new admin account, and leave it just the way Apple creates it--don't add anything nor modify it in any way. Log into that account and see if it works correctly.
    If that account is also misbehaving, try restarting, and when you hear the chime hold down the Shift key so that you boot into Safe Mode (you'll see a notice in the splash screen about being in Safe Mode). The boot will take longer (perhaps even considerably longer) as the system runs disk repair, empties some caches, disables all third party startup items, as well as all Apple startup items not strictly necessary for the machine to run. See the menus and Dock now behave correctly.
    Since the problem is evidently somewhat intermittent in nature it may take some patience to discover what is wrong. You might also disconnect everything that didn't come with the Mac, reboot, and use only the Apple keyboard and Apple mouse and run for a bit to see how that works. If you are using a third party mouse that required installing something that would be my guess as a "prime suspect" for the cause of the problems.

  • Need help with an Apple Video Conferencing webcam

    I am having a fit trying to get my Performa (6500/225) to work with the hardware I have. Previously I had a Performa 6400/180. I have an Apple Video Conferencing webcam that I was able to make work with OS 9.1. It worked with the original software that came with it and it worked with the software for the Logitech Quickcam (QuickPict setting) I was even able to use it with Ivisit (webcam program). Now that I've had to change the harddrive and reinstall everything, it doesn't work with anything but the original software.
    Can anyone tell me what extensions I might need or how to configure it so it will work with what I already have?
    Performa 6500/225   Mac OS 9.1.x  

    Thanks to all who tried to help. As it turned out it was not a problem with the cam. It took some time and some tweaking but I did get it to work. I had a problem with the webchat program iVisit and I was able to get that solved thru their tech support forum.
    This Apple Video Conference camera was a great find. I recommend it to anyone who still uses a vintage mac like mine. What a shame it was discontinued.

  • Need HELP with objects and classes problem (program compiles)

    Alright guys, it is a homework problem but I have definitely put in the work. I believe I have everything right except for the toString method in my Line class. The program compiles and runs but I am not getting the right outcome and I am missing parts. I will post my problems after the code. I will post the assignment (sorry, its long) also. If anyone could help I would appreciate it. It is due on Monday so I am strapped for time.
    Assignment:
    -There are two ways to uniquely determine a line represented by the equation y=ax+b, where a is the slope and b is the yIntercept.
    a)two diffrent points
    b)a point and a slope
    !!!write a program that consists of three classes:
    1)Point class: all data MUST be private
    a)MUST contain the following methods:
    a1)public Point(double x, double y)
    a2)public double x ()
    a3public double y ()
    a4)public String toString () : that returns the point in the format "(x,y)"
    2)Line class: all data MUST be private
    b)MUST contain the following methods:
    b1)public Line (Point point1, Point point2)
    b2)public Line (Point point1, double slope)
    b3)public String toString() : that returns the a text description for the line is y=ax+b format
    3)Point2Line class
    c1)reads the coordinates of a point and a slope and displays the line equation
    c2)reads the coordinates of another point (if the same points, prompt the user to change points) and displays the line equation
    ***I will worry about the user input later, right now I am using set coordinates
    What is expected when the program is ran: example
    please input x coordinate of the 1st point: 5
    please input y coordinate of the 1st point: -4
    please input slope: -2
    the equation of the 1st line is: y = -2.0x+6.0
    please input x coordinate of the 2nd point: 5
    please input y coordinate of the 2nd point: -4
    it needs to be a diffrent point from (5.0,-4.0)
    please input x coordinate of the 2nd point: -1
    please input y coordinate of the 2nd point: 2
    the equation of the 2nd line is: y = -1.0x +1.0
    CODE::
    public class Point{
         private double x = 0;
         private double y = 0;
         public Point(){
         public Point(double x, double y){

              Point x = new Point(10, 7);
              Line l = new Line(p, x);
              System.out.println(l.toString());
    }My problems:
    I dont have the right outcome due to I don't know how to set up the toString in the Line class.
    I don't know where to put if statements for if the points are the same and you need to prompt the user to put in a different 2nd point
    I don't know where to put in if statements for the special cases such as if the line the user puts in is a horizontal or vertical line (such as x=4.7 or y=3.4)

    Sorry guys, I was just trying to be thorough with the assignment. Its not that if the number is valid, its that you cannot put in the same coordinated twice.

  • Need Help With Restoring My Ipod, Problem seems Unique, please help.

    Hi, I have a mini as most of you others do as well. I will outline all the problems and the solutions I have taken to solve these problems, yet they have all failed.
    1) When trying to turn my IPOD on I run across the Folder with the Exclamation Point
    SOLUTIONS: I have tried to reset, and change the format of the drive, both have failed to solve the problem. When I try to connect the ipod to the computer (in disk mode and out of disk mode) it says The Ipod is corrupt it may need to be restored. So I restore the IPOD and it says Disconnect it and replug it into a power source (which I interpret as the wall charger). After I disconnect it (I have tried just disconnecting it when the menu restarts to the APPLE and disconnecting it by manually selecting the IPOD from the source list to disconnect after waiting) and plugging it into the wall charger I get the folder with the exclamation point again. It seems to be a cycle, and I don't know how to break it. If it is a faulty harddrive I guess I will try to replace it using the method outlined in other posts, but if I'm missing anything please let me know. Thank you.

    That's the faulty drive/OS indicator.
    If restoring the iPod from iTunes doesn't work, it's likely that the drive has died and needs to be replaced.
    It's a fairly easy task with the proper tools.

  • Need help with cd/dvd drive problem.

    I have a MacBook (black) running OS 10.6.8. The internal cd/dvd drive no longer works. I put in a disk and it gets pushed back out after a few seconds.
    I just bought a LG Ultra Slim Portable DVD Writer model GP 60NB50. The MacBook recognizes the LG drive for opening music and movies, and for burning photos to a disk.
    I have been unable to use the LG drive as a start-up drive. I put Disk Warrior into the drive and restarted the computer holding down the “C” key. When the computer starts to launch there is a flash of a “?” on the screen then it loads from the hard disk. I also tried using the Apple start up disk that came with the computer but that also failed.
    Any idea how I can get the LG drive to become a start-up drive when needed?
    Thanks,
    Orin

  • Need help with a SpryImageSlideShow load problem

    I am using Dreamweaver CS5.
    I have a spryImageSlideshow on my site. I can't get the slideshow to load if there are only 2 images or less in the slideshow. It only automatically loads the large image when there are 3 photos or more in the slideshow. How do I fix this to start with only 1-2 photos in the slideshow?

    Hi
    We usually need to see ALL your code to solve your issue quickly and accurately without a lot of guessing and questions back-and-forth.
    Just rename a copy of your problem page  (such as "test.html")  and upload it to your server, in whatever folder the original page was located, and simply post a link in the Forum and tell us your problem.
    This saves you having to cut and paste miles of code into the Forum for the page and all the dependent CSS, JS etc. files.and saves us from having to recreate all your filles, find your images and then repair your code and test the solution for you.
    I trust this is helpful.

  • Need help with notify() / wait() synchronization problem.

    I am trying to overcome a race condition that seems to be coming from the use of the swing ui file chooser in my code. I tried to solve this problem using wait/notify but I ended up in an infinite loop so and was wondering if anyone could help me out. Here are some code snipets:
    //Create a new monitor
    final private Object monitor = new Object();
    //in method getAppletdirectory()
    synchronized(monitor)
    //initialize the wizard which is a filechooser then call using the swingui showCenteredDialog
    DialogUtils.showCenteredDialog(wizard, -1, -1);
    monitor.notifyAll();
    //return some info from the wizard
    // in main method of this class
    File appletDirectory = getAppletDirectory(controller);
    synchronized(monitor) {
    try
    monitor.wait();
    catch (InterruptedException e){
    The method causes in infinite loop, I believe this is happening because the notify is being called before the dialog window has completed then when the wait is set up there is no notify to come. My problem is the wizard is used in other circumstances where it will not look for this. Would it be okay to add the notify() to the wizard's functionality even though sometimes there will be no monitor waiting for it? Can anyone give me any advice on this? Thanks.

    >
    The reason I believe this was a race condition is because when I run this code without the synchronized call and the DialogUtils.showinfoDialog commented out as shown below. When the zip occurs some of the files do not show up in the newly created .zip. But if I uncomment the dialog call then the .zip contains everything I expect it to.
    >
    Okay, so let's restate this:
    Problem
    I try to zip a file, but when I try to run the code above, then some of the files don't make it to the Zip archive. Some do, some don't.
    Diagnostics
    I notice when I call DialogUtils.showinfoDialog then the zip is formed properly. I think this is because the showinfoDialog method makes the user click on a button before returning. So my concern is that I am generating a race condition by <doing something... I have no idea what...>.
    Okay, so now we have that out of the way, You also say "Also, the reason I think this is an infinite loop is because when I added the synchronized calls and it gets to this part of the program it hangs and must be force quit." For there to be an infinite loop, there first has to be a loop, then there has to be a condition for ending the loop that never is reached. I still see no loop in your code, so it is impossible to have an infinte loop in any code that you have shown (there may be an infinite loop someplace else that you aren't showing). That said, your computer can hang for any number of other reasons, including any un-interrupted blocking operation (reading from a Stream, waiting on a BlockingQueue, calling wait() without notify()), or a deadlock situation. The problem with saying that you have an infinite loop is that the first thing to do to fix that is to look at the loop. If you don't know what is causing a hang, just say 'The program is hanging here.' That way we can look at different reasons for hangs, rather than getting caught up in a red herring of an infinite loop.
    Okay, down to the problem:
    1) Why are you including any synchronization? Why do you think you need it? How many Threads do you create? And where?
    2) We can't help you with the code you provided. It tells us nothing about what is going on. What is DialogUtils? FileUtils? RistrettoWizard? No clue. Don't know what any of those methods do. What context is this method called in? Why the synchronization?
    What you need to do is generate a short, working sample that shows the problem. Read [this site for examples.|http://sscce.org/] Make it simple, and complete. If I can't copy the code and run it to see your problem then I can't help diagnose it.

  • Need HELP with crazy rendering /  saving problem

    I am finishing up a project that I need to deliver on DVD in the next couple of days.
    Suddenly, something strange is happening.
    There are several audio clips that have some filters applied to them. When I play them in the timeline, they sound fine, until I render them.
    Then, the audio in those clips gets muddy and way quiet.
    When I click off the filter, the volume comes back.
    Then, if I click on the filter again, the filtered settings are applied and it sounds fine.
    However, as soon as I render, it all goes wacky again.
    This is making me nervous, as the deadline is looming.
    THanks for any help.

    What are your timeline settings for audio? What are the filters for? If you export a small section as a test, does the audio sound bad when you play back the quicktime?
    I just remembered - when I experienced this before, it was the result of audio that was inverted in one channel, so as long as they came out of separate speakers, there was no problem, but when they were mixed, they canceled each other out resulting in severely decreased volume.
    As my problem was just with Voice Over, I simply deleted one of the audio channels, then doubled the remaining one and panned it properly.
    Dunno if that's your issue, but you might investigate that...

  • I really need help with the Apple Hardware Test!

    I have been having problems with the computer freezing. The other night the only way I was able to start it up was to boot off the install disk. My brother being fairly savy with Macs helped me with this. Long story short, I uninstalled and reinstalled all of my non Mac programs. This happened three days ago. Everything seemed fine. Then tonight, same thing. My screen froze, and I shut it down. I couldn't access anything. I zapped the pram, and my user screen came on. When I tried to log in it froze again. Then it started just shutting off on it's own. Everytime I turn on the computer it shuts off. So then I tried holding down the shift key, then by accident, I held down the D key. I thought I remembered my brother doing this. Then the Apple Hardware Test screen came on, so I did the test. It said: A harware error is detected 4HD?11?40000004:SATA(0,0)
    What does this mean and what do I do?

    SATA would very likely mean your hard drive is failing or has failed. Do you have AppleCare?

  • Need help with IE6 box drop problem DW CS4

    Having a problem with this page: http://www.recoverings.com/tarzan.html in IE6. Maincontent drops below the sidebar menu. Looks fine in FF, Safari, IE7.
    All other pages work well. I assume that this has something to do with the width of the .wrapnail and .thumbnail divs, but reducing the margins doesn't seem to help and the images start to get too close together. What am I missing here?
    Can someone help me solve this?
    I would also appreciate any suggestions on cleaning up my CSS. Seems like I have an awful lot of stuff in there. Maybe it's okay but could it be cleaner?
    Thanks for your help,
    Phil

    IE bug Float Drop is fairly common.  Make sure your page wrapper division is wider than the combined width of left sidebar + main content + left & right borders if any.  If that doesn't help, add an overflow: hidden rule to your floated container and make sure you have cleared both floats.
    More about float drop and the expanding box problem can be found here:

  • Need help with ipod itunes syncing problem just occured

    i restored my computer to factory settings and when i did that i lost my itunes and when i reinstalled it and tried to sync my ipod to the new installation of itunes it said that my ipod is synced with another itunes and that to sync it wiht this itunes it would delete and replace all data on my ipod with data from my itunes which is nuthing please help i dont wanna lose all my songs and apps an all that

    You should have created a backup of your Itunes library before your computer restore to factory setting so that you can copy them to your new iTunes.
    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software to copy over. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • Need help with long term Java problems

    I've been having problems with Java on my computer for about a year now, and I'm hoping that someone here can help me out.
    Java used to work fine on the computer when I first got it (a Dell laptop) and I hadn't installed anything myself. But then one day it stopped loading Java applets, and hasn't worked since. By this, I mean that I get the little colorful symbol in a box when I try to play Yahoo games, use the http://www.jigzone.com site, go to chat rooms, etc. Java menus on websites like http://www.hartattack.tv used to work still, but lately they've been giving me that symbol too.
    I've tried downloading a newer version of Java, but nothing I do seems to work, and I don't know of anything I did to trigger it not working. I'm hoping there's a simple solution to this, and I'm just dumb.
    Thanks.

    This might be way off, but it's something that's tripped me up in the past:
    If you are using Sun's Java plugin, the first time you go to a site that has a particular Java applet, you may be asked to approve/reject a security request.
    If you have clicked on any other windows while the request is first being loaded (which can take some time, because this is swing based), then the security dialog box does not pop to the top of the window stack, and doesn't add an entry into the task bar.
    It appears that Java just doesn't work, but it's actually waiting for you to click "Yes". You can check this by hitting alt-tab and seeing if the Java coffee cup icon is one of the options.
