I purchased a used iphone4 and the phone displays the previous owners apple id and prompts me for the previous owners password. how do i get rid of his info....and install my own apple id number?

Login to the app store with YOUR ID. You can't use the app store without an Apple ID. If there are apps on the phone that were purchased with the original owners ID, you do NOT own them. The owner had no legal right to give them to you and they are permanently tied to the ID that was used to purchase them.
...i was also allowed to purchase an apple network id for this phone...
I have absolutely NO IDEA what you mean by that. You can not "purchase an apple network id".

My ex husband had the kid's iPad.. how do I get rid of his info and ability to track me?

Hello,
I am recovering from a control freak. Please help. My ex husband took off with the children's iPad for over a year. So the warranty is expired. How do I keep the games he put on there (like Angry Birds) but get rid of a "restrictions Passcode" he refuses to give me and get his AppleID off of there and most importantly take his ability to stalk me via GPS tracking away?
Yes he has been stalking me.
I would like to add an internet browser and be able to have my own restrictions passcode so that when the children are not supervised I can turn off the internet.
How do I get rid of his passwords and ability to track me and set the iPad up for my children. (I have no money, no child support and definitely no cash for tech support.) I would deeply appreciate the help. Even after I find a new job, it will be tight.
Thanks so much!

You'll have to restore the device, but with out the restricions passcode you'll have to put it into recovery mode first.

Hi lundjj,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may find the troubleshooting steps in this article helpful if your iPod nano does not appear in iTunes:

This information can also help if you are using multiple devices with a computer:
iPod for Windows: Connecting multiple iPod devices to iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3622
Although FireWire and USB connections will allow multiple iPod devices to be connected to the computer at the same time, iTunes for Windows works best with only one iPod connected at a time. If you plan to connect multiple iPod devices to the same computer, eject any iPod devices that you are not using from iTunes.
All the best,
Jeremy

How do you get rid of a greyed out 'installed' badge in apple updates?

How do you get rid of a greyed out 'installed' badge in apple updates? I have one that never wants to disappear despite having the most recent version of the software ( its evernote in case that helps). That is really the only app that doesn't want to disappear after installation. Any thoughts or ideas out there in the world wide web?

Not sure I follow you 100%, but I think I know what you need.

My ical is showing "on my mac" "iCloud" and "yahoo" calendars. I just want one calendar that will sync up to my iPhone. How can I get rid of all these Calendars???

My ical is showing "on my mac" "iCloud" and "yahoo" calendars. I just want one calendar that will sync up to my iPhone. How can I get rid of all these Calendars??

'On My Mac' and Yahoo calendars won't sync to iCloud. You can move them to iCloud, but then Yahoo will lose contact with its calendars. if you are happy to sync onlly with iCloud, and thus to your iPhone, you can move the calendars: you will have to do it one at a time, and the process is just a trifle convoluted - it's described in the first set of numbered instructions here:

Some of my songs are listed twice on my iPod itself. However, when I plug the iPod into my computer, the songs don't show up twice in iTunes when I click on device/music. How do I get rid of the duplicate songs on my iPod?

that is odd! that should not be happening.
Are you syncing your songs right off of itunes itself? because it should be syncing over to the ipod however it is listed in itunes.

I am having a big problem downloading my individual phot folders into my ipod...i need detail on how to do this....and how do i get rid of my doubles and triple pictures????very confussing!!!!

Can anyone tell me how to downlad my photos into my ipod touch and still keep them in their folders.....my ipod will not accept all my picutre...after i download my pictures and combined folders which mixes all the pictures.my ipod states....960 items could not be synced...see itunes for more infomation!!!!. and afte all the pictures have been downloaded.. i still have room for more pictures....very frustrating!!!!

When you connect your iPod to iTunes, look on the Device/Photos pane and choose the one folder on your computer (for example "Pictures Set A") that you want to use to Sync with your iPod, by using the Browse button.
In that folder ("Pictures Set A"), put any folders that you want to Sync with your iPod (such as "Holiday in London" and "Day Trip To Sydney" etc. etc.). They are known as sub-folders. Sync the iPod to iTunes.
On the iPod, in the Photos App, you will see a folder named Photo Library which has all your (Synced) photos in it, but without folders. Beneath the Photo Library folder are all the sub-folders, such as "Picture Set A" , "Holiday In London" and "Day Trip To Sydney". Each sub-folder has only the photos that are in that folder on your computer.
For the photos that did not Sync to your iPod, I suggest you follow the message that you saw, "see iTunes for more information". The most likely explanation is that they are in a format the iPod cannot handle.

FILES: how do I get rid of EXEC status and set them to open with "none"?

I dropped my laptop and damaged the drive. My computer forensic friend salvaged specific files.
Transfered to a FAT32 drive and then copied to Mac.
Most of files are fine with the exception of some setings files that showed up as Unix executables. The few original files that I have to compare them to, show "Document" as the file "Kind" and the "open with" shows "none" in Get Info
When I look at the contents of the files they look fine. How do I get rid of the EXEC status and set them to open with "none"?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
These are settings files for a set of .wav samples for an AU drum plug-in.

If you have xcode installed, you might want to find out what the type and creator code for these files should be. Since the files have visited a FAT32 file sytem, you will have lost all resource forks as well as type and creator HFS+ meta data.
So assuming you do have xcode, create a new AU drum plug-in file then in the terminal:
<pre style="padding-left: .75ex; padding-top: .25em; padding-bottom: .25em; margin-top: .5em; margin-bottom: .5em; margin-left: 1ex; max-width: 80ex; overflow: auto; font-size: 10px; font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; color: #444; background: #eee; line-height: normal">/Developer/Tools/GetFileInfo newfile</pre>
Then use:
<pre style="padding-left: .75ex; padding-top: .25em; padding-bottom: .25em; margin-top: .5em; margin-bottom: .5em; margin-left: 1ex; max-width: 80ex; overflow: auto; font-size: 10px; font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; color: #444; background: #eee; line-height: normal">/Developer/Tools/SetFile -t '(insert type)' -c '(insert creator)' oldfile</pre>
If there's a lot of these you might automate the process using the find command.
