On your iPad, just go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, etc.>Add account>iCloud and put in the details of the account you set up. Shouldn't be a problem at all.

HT203421 I have recently purchased some apps from the app store and after downloading them, the icon that appears in the dock changes to a different icon. It is now the same icon appearing on all newly downloaded apps. Does anyone know what is happening

I have recently purchased some apps from the app store and after downloading them, the icon that appears in the dock changes to a different icon. It is now the same icon appearing on all newly downloaded apps. Does anyone know what is happening here? Even updating an older game app resulted in the original game icon changing to the new identical icon that all new apps are appearing with. This new icon is like a page with a ruler, pencil and paintbrush. Any tips on how to stop this or how to revert to the icon as it appears on the app store would be appreciated.

Grey App Icon Appears. Reboot and apps appear on different screens

I've noticed a strange thing happening on my home screen. Sometimes, and it seems when apps are automatically being updated, a gray app icon with a circle and an 'x' appears on my home screen. It will not go away and you cannot select it.
My home screen consists of 14 app icons, the rest of the screen is empty. I do this to declutter my home screen.
When I reboot my phone, the grey icon is gone, but it fills up my home screen with other app icons from a different page. When I move them back over to the second page so that only 14 apps appear again and the rest is empty space, I reboot my phone again, and it fills up the home page with more apps (different ones).
Is anybody else experiencing this issue? I tried to take a screen print of the grey icon to post here on my iphone, but when I looked at the photo, it wasn't there (very strange).
What does this grey app icon represent?
Is this a bug in the software?

Two icons for the same app. appear in dock

Hello. As is obvious to everyone, whenever one launches an app., it's icon will appear in the dock (assuming it's not already there). I have one particular app., however, (a newly downloaded mac game), that whenever launched, it's icon will appear in the dock, immediately followed by a second icon right next to the first! Does anyone know the cause of this? If I quit the first icon, the app is unaffected.
I have repaired permissions, and even rebuilt Launch Services database, to no effect.
The game, by the way, plays perfectly, so it is only a minor concern, but I'd like to know if there's a way to correct this.
Thanks in advance

Some programs open up assistant programs whic really results in two (or mor) programs opening up and appearing in your Dock. For example ffmpeg will open up a progrss app when you start encoding so you see a separate app apear on the dock. You have to quit it separately.

Is there a way to make app titles larger?

Is there a way to make the titles on apps appear in a larger font size?

Yes, there is and it is really easy:
Open Finder
On the top menu bars, click on "View"
Go down to the bottom of that drop-down menu to "Show View Options"
Then a window will open up on your desktop called "Desktop"
There you can adjust the text size, the size of your icons, and even the spacing of them icons.
I hope this helps!

An install request for a new helper app appeared, I entered my system password to download the app. Since then safari will not open. It just comes up with a safari quit unexpectedly report. I have tried logging on as a Guest but it does the same.

I have a MacBook Pro with OS X Yosemit. MY safari will not open, it only comes up with a safari quit unexpectedly report. A new helper app appeared requesting my system password to download the helper. Stupidly I input the password, when I log off I can see the download icon for a split second still running asking to abort or continue. How do I sort this?
cheers

First, it might be you simply put Safari in a folder somewhere. Try searching for it using Spotlight. Drag down on the screen to display the Spotlight search bar and type "Safari". If you see Safari, it is still accessible on your iPad. If not, try the following.
Reset your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.
Finally, if that doesn't help, try turning off restrictions, then turning them back on.

What antivirus protection should I purchase for my MacBook Pro? MacSecurity.app appeared on my desktop, and I downloaded that. Since then, it has said my computer is infected and pop-ups have been appearing.

You've been infected by a scam trojan. You don't need any anti-virus software on your Mac. See the following about getting rid of the trojan.
Trojan War
If you discover a trojan program is running on your computer then look to the following information for assistance:
1. A recent discussion on the Apple Support Communities: MacDefender Trojan.
2. An excellent site devoted to Mac Malware: Macintosh Virus Guide
3. Another site for removing MacDefende, et.al.: MAC Defender Rogue Anti-Virus analysis and Removal

Removing strange software can be a task. The following outlines various ways of uninstalling software:
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a Startup item or a Log In item. Startup items are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the Delete [-] button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Note that you must have this software installed before you install software you may need to uninstall. Uninstallers won't work if you install them after the fact. Here is a selection:
AppZapper
Automaton
Hazel
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them and others at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on removing software and dealing with spyware and malware.
After removing all the components of the software you may have to restart the computer to fully disable the software. This will be the case when removing software that has installed a daemon. After the daemon has been removed you need to restart the computer to stop the daemon. Alternatively, you can kill the daemon process using the Terminal application or Activity Monitor.

File Icons Not Appearing in Finder

Over the years I have archived projects on CDs and DVDs. I have always worked on Macs. No PC involvement. I have been doing this since 1987. Over the past couple weeks I have noticed that the icons of files (not folders) on my older disks are not appearing. I am using the latest Mac OS 10.8.3 on a MacBook Pro. However, on a friend's older Mac Pro tower (Intel), running an older OS (10.6.8), the file icons do appear. Also, it seems that all folder icons do appear on both systems. I have searched the Internet for an answer. I have a lot of old files that I currently cannot seem to access because of this issue. Can anyone shed any light on this? I think it may be an OS issue.

Hi,
I was under the impression that the Disk Level info was the bit that had the problem.
I am not sure why I ended up with that thought as you clearly state it is contents type info such as tiffs and the like you cannot "see" for long.
The Site did help with that.
I dug out a old Mag CD with a game on in.
I do not suffer losing sight of any of the files no matter which view I adopt.
It lists the Mac OS Standard as the format and the Roman encoding your Video and pics show.
(Strangely it says it was Modified and the date is before the listed Modified dates of the files and folder it contains).
I don't have any self created disks from that time to test.
I am at a loss myself now.
Sometimes, as in my Pic, the Applications that were written for OS 9 (Classic era) and earlier have the no entry sign over them.
Other times the items will show a generic file icon as it has "lost" which app it belongs to. (Which the PRAM reset deals with)
Your files clearly show the icons of the apps that would normally open them.
Files or folders that are normally hidden don't get counted in Quick Look or other forms of veiwing the contents, such as the lower bar in my pic.
It would appear the OS is reading the Disk properly but then deciding that it is not going to display all of it.
I tried viewing the files on my drive if different views - iCon and Cover Flow for certain - but did not notice any difference in what was presented.
If you have the Disk Open and in the Finder > View Menu > Show View Options and then choose Show Icon Preview do you get to see the tiff files at all ?
I would also try the Size change in the Cover Flow view just to see if it is something about the icon data that is "missing" or being mis-read.
I am clutching at straws at this point.

Customising which apps appear in search

I use Google calendar, and want to activate my already created (and pinned to start) shortcut by pressing the windows key, and typing "cal", then pressing enter just like I did in win 7, and win 8 before the 8.1 update.
Now, post update, "cal" finds loads of unwanted stuff, but not my Google calendar shortcut. I have to keep typing "calen" before it appears.
Is there some way to customise which apps appear when searching? Ideally I would like it to appear, and be able to move it to the top of the list so it's the default option...
Yes, I know I could create icons and keyboard shortcuts, but I would like this to be possible for all my applications, and for me it's a lot faster to press 3 keys than to move to the mouse.

I'm made to wonder... Why would I want to SEARCH for something FROM a particular place? If I knew where it was and wanted to organize it by categories and look it up that way...
I'd use a start menu. As it turns out, I do that.
When I want to SEARCH for something, it's because I don't want to take my mind off what I'm doing and concentrate on finding a tool.
Even though Microsoft doesn't want to face fact, there's a gulf between "thinking stuff up" that
actually works better than things did before and "coming up with random stuff" that's just
different. Nowadays Microsoft seems to think the latter is sufficient. The fashion industry is based on "new and different is better". A more useless and wasteful entity than the fashion industry there has never been.

Vector mask icon not appearing properly

http://tinypic.com/r/1zlyj6h/5
If you go there you'll see what I mean. I am following all of these tutorials and I come to this one portion where it says to create a vector mask using the shape tool and as far as I can see, all my settings are the same. But I cannot get that little icon to appear at the bottom of the shape vector mask. The icon I'm talking about looks like a slider.
Any ideas?

This may be off, but sometimes you only get a slider when the image is large enough so you can't see all of it at once. Could this be the case here?
Looking at the shape with the slider it is a lot bigger than your shape.

Location service icon keeps appearing on iPhone4

I am not sure since which app i've installed, my iPhone4 keeps location service icon displays on the menu bar for ever.
I've quitted all background processes or restart the phone, but the icon is still there.
Is that because i enable find my phone?

The icon keeps appearing when I enable location service for Google Latitude, and it's gone after I disable this app.
This is how it's supposed to work, after you close the app using location services, the icon should be gone again.
