I tried not to click reply but had to out of self respect.
I take offense to the "kids behind the counter". Yes, I'm 25. Call me a kid,I suppose. I have been working-on/been fascninated/training on computer technology basically my entire life.
I don't know, call 7 years as a system administrator for 18 military bases lack of experience, you tell me.  I'm hoping you didn't mean to generalize, but it still irked me.
If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.
I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

    Asset management
    Asset management comprises the management of the client’s funds conducted on the basis of the contract signed by the investor and the management company. An investor transfers his or her powers to the management company, which chooses a professional and effective investment strategy based on the client’s aims and financial capability.
    The traders react to any fluctuations on the financial market by immediately correcting the investment strategy in order to achieve and maintain high profit levels for an investor.
    Asset management for our clients
    •     The reliability of cooperation with a professional investment company.
    •     No restrictions concerning the sum of the initial investment.
    •     Guaranteed profit rate acquired at specified periods of time.
    •     All decisions concerning the management of the acquired profits are made by the investor himself.
    •     The management company works hard to increase the investor’s income since the size of the brokerage received by it depends on the profit acquired by the client.
    Does this investment method suit you?
    Business development
    The main reason for investing money into something is the formation of an additional source of passive income. If a client chooses the right way of investing money, he or she will be able to enjoy a certain degree of freedom in the development of his or her main business. Having a predetermined regular income, you will be able to expand the influence of your company at the market, invest the acquired profits into the development of new solutions and products, and define the prospective growth taking into consideration the peculiar features of your own stabilization fund.
    Personal aims
    By transferring a part of your funds to an asset management company, you will be able to figure out how you are going to use the acquired additional income for your own purposes. This sum used to be just a kind of stabilizer, but now you will be able to spend more money on recreation and unplanned purchases without increasing the size of the supply subtracted from your regular income.
    Increasing the assets
    By increasing the amount of funds transferred to an asset management company by means of acquired profits you will be increasing your own capital. At the same time the money doesn’t just get accumulated – it keeps on working for you. Consequently, the larger is the invested sum, the more profit you get from it.
    The advantages of transferring free funds into asset management
         The ability to build up your own investment business.
         Freedom in the process of designing more ambitious development strategies.
         Guaranteed stability and substantial amount of profits.
         Additional funds that can be used in the realization of one’s personal aims.
         Capital growth and steady increase of the active income.
    The advantages that we offer
    Individual approach and absolutely straight dealing with our clients. We strive towards close long-term business relationships that are able to bring mutual profits to our clients, partners, and ourselves. Guided by the willingness to achieve our common goals, we pay maximum attention to each of our investors.

    The clients working with Private Fund Management should be fully confident of the reliability and the potential profitability of their investment. Our employees will help you choose the most convenient and well-paying investment option for you after picking up the appropriate investment strategy and investment portfolio.
    Investment portfolios
    While choosing the appropriate investment means one will always have to look for the happy medium between two indices: profitability and possible risks. These indices are in direct relation to each other - the bigger is the potential profit, the bigger is the potential risk. It has to be noted that the concept of risk is getting less and less relevant these days since within the past seven years of our operation at the financial market none of our clients have ever received profits lower than those agreed upon during the process of signing the contract. We offer solutions able to help each of our customers to choose the investment means that is the most profitable for him or her in particular.
    What is an investment portfolio?
    An investment portfolio is the combination of assets that you invest your money into. The process of building up an investment portfolio is based upon the process of choosing securities. The main reason for creating a portfolio is pretty simple – if done correctly, it will allow you to supply your set of securities with such investment features (profitability and risk) that cannot be achieved by purchasing only stocks or bonds, for instance. Combination is the only key to creating a good investment portfolio.
         Peculiar features of different investment portfolios
         All investment portfolios are built up in accordance with one of the following strategies:
    •     The strategy aimed at the aggressive capital growth stimulation with high level of risk. Potential annual profitability of this strategy can be estimated at about 35%. This strategy is based upon the utilization of tools with a high level of risk: shares, futures, and options.
    •     The strategy aimed at low-risk investment and intended for steady capital growth (about 22% annually). Stocks can serve as an example of low-risk investment tools.
    By combining high- and low-risk approaches in different proportions, the experts of Private Fund Management develop investment portfolios based on the requirements set by different clients.
    Private Fund Management investment portfolios
    Fixed income
    Risk: zero.
    Liquidity: one week.
    Recommended investment period: 6-12 months
    Expected income: 20-22%.
    “Fixed income” portfolio allows increasing assets slowly but without any risk.
    A “fixed income” portfolio is appropriate for those investors who aim at getting profits higher than those brought by ordinary bank deposits but want to stick to the liquidity and the reliability of bank deposits. The assets in this case will be long-term corporate and municipal bonds turned into hard currency.
    A “fixed income” investment portfolio comprises bonds that are kept until the moment of their purchase – that’s why there is no investment risks associated with this type of portfolio.
    Bond portfolio
    Risk: minimal.
    Liquidity: one week.
    Recommended investment period: 12-18 months.
    Expected income: 22-25%.
    Expected risk: 6%.
    Bond portfolio is a happy medium between a good income level and relatively small investment risk.
    A bond portfolio will allow you to get profits higher than those acquired by means of an average bank deposit. The assets in this case will be corporate, municipal, and state bonds turned into U.S. currency. The peculiar features of this kind of portfolio are: low risk level and high liquidity.
    High profits acquired through the use of this portfolio result from the increase in price of the equities and the steady development of the company - a share in which is purchased by the investor.
    Conservatively balanced portfolio
    Risk: medium.
    Liquidity: 1-2 weeks.
    Recommended investment period: 12-18 months
    Expected income: 25-30%.
    Expected risk: 9%.
    Conservatively balanced portfolio – high profits acquired with a relatively low risk level achieved through asset diversification.
    A client who chooses to invest his money into a conservatively balanced portfolio gets higher profits than a person holding a bond portfolio. In this case the level of risk goes up just a little if compared to a bond portfolio.
    A conservatively balanced portfolio includes the stocks of worldwide companies as well as various bonds. The ratio between these two types of securities is the following: 20% - stocks, 80% - bonds.
    Actively balanced portfolio
    Risk: medium.
    Liquidity: 1-2 weeks.
    Recommended investment period: 12-18 months.
    Expected income: 30-35%.
    Expected risk: 15%.
    Actively balanced portfolio shows the highest levels of expected income but acceptably high levels of expected risk as well.
    An actively balanced portfolio is based on the same principle with the conservatively balanced one. The assets that it offers are also stocks and bonds of worldwide companies. The only thing that makes it different from the previous portfolio is the ratio of stocks to bonds. This ratio for a well-balanced portfolio will vary from 50:50 to 75:25.
    An actively balanced portfolio allows the client to gain profits as big as those acquired through investment into bonds but at the same time reducing the investment risks.
    You can make up your mind about the choice of a certain portfolio with the help of the following table showing the income that you will be able to get through the usage of different investment products.
    Income table
    Our company aims at working in full correspondence with the requirements set by the times that we are living in and supplying its clients with well-paying investment products. The size of the expected income from each of the portfolios is reflected in the following table.
    Sum of investment, $     Period     Profits by portfolio

    Investment insurance
    We are fully aware of the fact that most investors are afraid of bankruptcy and shutdown of their asset management company. In order to protect the rights and legal interests of our investors, and to stimulate confidence in our company and attract new investments, we offer our clients to insure the full sum of their investments (including the interest) in an international insurance agency.
    Which investments can be insured?
    A client of our company can insure the money (no matter the sum or the currency) put into an investment account at Private Fund Management by any natural or legal person. The interest gets insured only if it has been added to the main body of the investment in accordance with the terms of the contract.
    What should you know about the replacement of capital?
    This is how the insurance system works: in case of Private Fund Management’s shutdown or loss of investment license, all of its investors get fixed capital replacements. In accordance with the investment insurance law, the repaid sum should be equal to 100% of the invested one.
    Replacement of invested capital is made in the currency, which the client was using to open his or her investment account. The investor may choose to get the replaced sum in cash or via wire transfer.
    Conclusion
    During the past few years, the staff of Private Fund Management has managed to reach the heights that numerous enterprises with much longer history are still dreaming of. They have established a successful company aiming at saving and increasing the clients’ capital.
    In our work we strive towards perfection and blameless reputation. And now we can already say that Private Fund Management is a full-service management company that can be considered a highly effective financial market guide and the provider of profitable financial solutions for its clients.
    The staff of Private Fund Management will help you choose the most profitable and convenient investment option through picking out an appropriate investment strategy and building up an appropriate investment portfolio. Test it yourself. We will be happy to work with you!

    The limit imposed by Facebook has been a moving target.  It has not been that long since the limit was 200 (it is now 1000).  You do not say what version of Aperture and OSX you are using, but if not the latest, it is possible that the change in limit by FB has not been updated, and may not be updated in earlier verions?

    Thank youLike everything else, the answer is "it depends".
    What is your background and experience with computers, networks, operating systems, programming languages?
    What are you currently doing?
    What formal and or on the job training have you had?
    As Aman said, build yourself a test system and play with it. You can do this at no cost by ...
    1) download and install VMplayer (vmware.com). It is legally free. For an investment in your career of about US$185, you can buy VMworkstation, which has the same fundamental capability plus some nice management features.
    2) download and install Oracle Enterprise Linux (oracle.com). It is legally free. If you want a support contract, you pay for that.
    3) using (1) and (2) create a virtual linux server
    4) download and install Oracle Enterprise edition database (oracle.com). It is legally free for personal eduction.
    5) install (4) on (3).
    Beyond the above questions I have some boilerplate replies that fit here . . .
    if people want to be professionals in ANY field, the first knowledge they need to acquire is how to locate AND USE+ the fundamental reference materials for that profession. And the most important trait, the one for which they are really hired, is the ability to do independent research, and having a modicum of curiosity that would drive one to do that research. We don't mind helping newbies, and even the most experienced person on this board will run into something they are not familiar with, or occasionally just require a second set of eyes to look at something. But a professional+ needs, above all, a willingness and capability to check the docs. A professional isn't necessarily someone who has all the answers at their fingertips or has a full understanding about every arcane subject in their field. It certainly isn't someone who has an encyclopedia full of memorized answers but little understanding of how it all fits together. It's someone who knows where to find the answers when needed, how to recognize them when he sees them. It's less about knowing than it is about attitude. Everything you asked can be answered in the Oracle Concepts Manual at tahiti.oracle.com. You should bookmark that site.
    =================================================
    Learning how to look things up in the documentation is time well spent investing in your career. To that end, you should drop everything else you are doing and do the following:
    Go to tahiti.oracle.com.
    Drill down to your product and version.
    <b><i><u>BOOKMARK THAT LOCATION</u></i></b>
    Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what is available here. Take special note of the "books" and "search" tabs. Under the "books" tab you will find the complete documentation library.
    Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what <b><i><u>kind</u></i></b> of documentation is available there by simply browsing the titles under the "Books" tab.
    Open the Reference Manual and spend a few minutes looking through the table of contents to get familiar with what <b><i><u>kind</u></i></b> of information is available there.
    Do the same with the SQL Reference Manual.
    Do the same with the Utilities manual.
    You don't have to read the above in depth. They are <b><i><u>reference</b></i></u> manuals. Just get familiar with <b><i><u>what</b></i></u> is there to <b><i><u>be</b></i></u> referenced. Ninety percent of the questions asked on this forum can be answered in less than 5 minutes by simply searching one of the above manuals.
    Then set yourself a plan to dig deeper.
    - Read a chapter a day from the Concepts Manual.
    - Take a look in your alert log. One of the first things listed at startup is the initialization parms with non-default values. Read up on each one of them (listed in your alert log) in the Reference Manual.
    - Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files. Go to the Network Administrators manual and read up on everything you see in those files.
    - When you have finished reading the Concepts Manual, do it again.
    Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.

    Is there a way I can edit the registry so that in Adobe Bridge, under edit, preferences, file type associations, the jpg extension is forced to use the 32-bit version of Photoshop?  I can do it manually, but is there a registry key i can export to apply it to multiple computers?

    Yes, in theory, but it is generally not recommended. But that location would depend on what OS you are on.

  • How do I set up family sharing if all my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account?

    I want to set up family sharing but it won't let me because all the emails are already associated with the one iTunes account we have.  I am afraid to delete because my children use that email address for text messaging.  How do I set up family sharing if all my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account?

    Hey Wendaroski,
    I am not quite sure what you mean by "my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account" but what you need for each family member is an Apple ID. Yours would be the one for your iTunes account.
    If the other members of the family already have an Apple ID you can invite them to join the family group. If not they will need to create one, using their email address. This article shows how -

    I have a MacBook Pro (my personal machine) and an iMac (our family computer).
    The iPhoto library housing all of our family photos lives on the iMac.
    The iPhoto library on my MacBook Pro is currently empty.
    I have an account on both machines.  I have associated the same Apple ID with both machines.
    When I launch iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and attempt to turn on photo sharing (so that I can see My Photo Stream, as well as other shared streams), iPhoto informs me that "iCloud Photos for xxx@xxx is being used with another library named 'iPhoto Library'."
    My iPhone, which is also affiliated with the same Apple ID, shows the streams just fine.
    What can I do to remedy this situation?  I'd like to be able to view my shared streams on my MacBook Pro, while leaving the actual massive photo library on the iMac.

    I found out about this issue when I created a new library with some photo's I wanted to sync to my iCloud account.  I found the following on the Fat Cat Software page and thought it might be helpful to others:
    Using Photo Stream with multiple libraries
    Starting in iPhoto 9.2, Apple introduced a new feature called Photo Stream, which lets you automatically transfer photos via their iCloud service between your iPhoto library and your other devices such as an iPhone, iPad, or another Mac. This feature works when you have multiple iPhoto libraries set up, but there are a couple things to be aware of.
    First, iPhoto will only allow Photo Stream to be active in one iPhoto library at any given time. If you've already enabled Photo Stream in one library, but then open a second library and enable Photo Stream there, this will cause Photo Stream to be turned off in the first library.
    Any photos downloaded by Photo Stream are actually stored in an entirely separate location from any of your iPhoto libraries. This means that, even if you do switch Photo Stream from one library to another, you will not need to go through redownloading all the photos you already have in Photo Stream back from the iCloud servers. So, switching Photo Stream from one library to another is a relatively inexpensive operation, so you can do it as often as needed without it being much of a hassle.

  • HT201248 My email address associated with my Apple ID on my iPad has been turned off from the ISp (U.S. army).   I have a new gmail account with a new Apple ID. How do I get my iPad to use my gmail account?

    Help. My old @us.army.mil email address was terminated by the army. I used that address to register my first apple id account on my iPad. I can't remember my original Apple ID number and if I ask to reset my password, Apple sends the reset link to my old non-working email address. I have a new gmail address and a new Apple ID number associated with that address. How do I get my iPad to use my new gmail address and new apple ID number?  Remember, I can't log out of my old account because I can't remember the password. Amd Apple will only reset the password by sending a link to my old, non functioning army email account. ( I hate army webmail for canceling all retired military email accounts). John Marc

  • This device is already associated with an Apple ID.....er no it's not

    I've been having this problem for a while but until I subscibed to iTunes Match it didn't really matter so I let it slide. Now it's an issue; I have two Apple IDs as I've been a customer for a while; the @me.com account issued as I was a Mobileme user and the @gmail.com account I use for everything else including all my iTunes purchases.
    I've had the iPad 2 for a while and under the store section it's correctly associated to my gmail Apple ID as it receives auto-downloads if I purchase on any other iOS or Mac devices. So to me that says it's associated to the correct ID.
    However now when I add in the iTunes Match info and I go to the music player where it would normally see all my gmail Apple ID associated purchases it just errors and says that the device is already associated to another Apple ID and I have to wait another 26 days to change it, this is stupid and actually wrong.
    All of the similar reported error dicussion threads refer to users who want to effectively merge differing IDs to get content from store, this isn't the case for me so I'm sort of stuck now as it seems to be an incorrect Apple ID association rather than anything else.
    I thought it may be that I log into iCloud with my me.com Apple ID but it seems that is completely seperate and shouldn't affect what I'm trying to do with my purchases.
    Any thoughts/help would be appreciated.

    Hi there
    I'm getting a similar problem with my Macbook Pro. itunes match was working fine until two days ago when i created another 'user id' for the laptop and then an itunes account for that user under their profile. Now i cant turn on itunes match on my itunes under my user account. Contacted Apple today who said to use the Express Lane and email the problem and they might be able to make an 'exception' on the account. Otherwise I'll have to wait 88 days to access a lot of my music on the macbook pro. itunes match is still working on the iphone 4S and ipad2.
    Can anyone help? The only thought was too re-stream the laptop. Ive already tried deauthorising the other user but it made no difference.
    Thanks

  • This email address is already in use or you may already have an Apple ID associated with this email address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID.

    My current Apple ID, for which all of my content has been downoaded (e.g., music, apps) is associated with a work email address that I will no longer have access to in the near future.  In my Apple ID account, I noticed I had two alternate emails listed, one is my .me account and the other is my .gmail account.  I use my .gmail account, and it is the primary email I use with friends and family.  I noticed both were not verified, and when I tried to, it said they were both associated with other accounts.  I was able to log into a separate Apple ID account I must have set up at tone point with my .gmail, and I changed the email address to a new one I created.  I also deleted the gmail account from any other Apple-relted account I could think of.  I am still gettgin the same error message when I try to add it to my current Apple ID: "This email address is already in use or you may already have an Apple ID associated with this email address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID."
    My concern is this: with FaceTime and now iMessage, it seems more important than ever that I am able to use my correct email address.  With iOS5 beta, I cannot enter either my .gmail or.me accounts under "You can be reached for messages at:" as I get an error stating: Unable to verify email because it is already in use."
    How can I remedy this issue and assign my .gmail account to my Apple ID?

    I just spoke with a technician at Apple.  I hsven't been able to verify because the wife has the phone.  but he said all that you need to do is:
    1) Go to Settings --> iTunes Store and login with your Apple ID and pwd
    2) Go to Settings --> iCloud and login with your Apple ID and pwd
    seems that the phone requires you to login to the store first...

  • This computer is already associated with an Apple ID (when trying to download family purchases)

    On my iMac I have five user accounts: 1 master family, father (me), wife, daughter and son.  For iTunes, the family is used for family sharing and as is the organizer for family purchases.
    My son's iCloud account is maintain through the Family account as he is under 13.  I recently set up his user on the family computer and today started to build up his iTunes library so he can sync his iPod.  iTunes was not logged into his iCloud account and had no music (it had not been used before).  I entered his iCloud account and annoyingly it would not recognize the password I had recorded for him so I had to go through iForgot,  Once in I went to family purchases to download a song that I had just purchased on the family account.  It stated that this computer was not authorized to I authorized it using my son's iCloud account. When I went to download it stated:
    This computer is already associated with an Apple ID.
    You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 72 days.
    What?  It's a new set up....
    I deauthorized the computer and reauthorized it using the family account, as the computer is registered to the family account.  Why I tried to download again I did not get the error about but this time it said the computer was not authorized (even though I just did it).  I appear to be stuck in a cycle of Apple ID association or authorization denial.  I'm a little PO'd.
    In the end I did it the old fashioned way and simply dragged in the music using family sharing (as this is switched on).
    Beyond having to wait 72 days for the Apple ID to resolve itself is there any other options?  Can I delete the entire user account of the computer and try again?  I'd be willing to do that if I thought it would work...

    Not from your end. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

  • I had 2 Apple IDs but now Apple implemented new conditions and i can't use one of them after 90 days using the prior one..! - "This Device Is Already Associated With an Apple ID"

    I have two Apple IDs because i travel frequently between Mexico and the US, and the apple stores offer different products, so i like to download music, movies and TV series from both sites.
    Apparently apple changed the conditions, becauise until a few days ago i could log our from one account and log in from my other one. Yesterday i was at Miami International Airport and wanted to download a few chapters from one of my TV series (Walking Dead) to watch on my way to Mexico City, but a pop up window came up saying "this device is already associated with an apple id". Curoiously, the ID to which i was connected to was precisely the one under which i had bought weeks ago the chapters i was wanting to download from the cloud. So it says i have to wait 90 days to change apple id.... weard! probably i accepted these terms when dowloading a new IOS version, so legally I'm dead in complaining, but why is it that if i am paying for all that i buy as a model citizen i am now blocked from jumping from one apple id to another one???? I can certainly buy another ipad and have one with one id and another one with the other, but is there any other way i can keep the two in just one device?? If i don't use i-could would anything change? This is really making me mad, and is the first time i have thought of moving our of mac products into samsung or others and buy my music and movies somewhere else where stupid restrictions like this one do not exist. Please help with a solution!

    OK, but in my ipad, the apple id i have in itues is already the one  iwant to have, but th one i used to sin in for i-coud is the other one. Any tip as to how to change the apple id for icloud and any idea how to know what apps i bought with the other apple id so as to delete them from my ipad to avoid being asked to enter another apple id every time they get updated? thanks!

  • How can I change the age associated with my daughter's account?

    OK I am sure that this is a common issue.  Back when my daughter was about 9 or 10 years old, we bought her an iPod Touch.   She was too young to have an AppleID of her own, so I set one up for her using an extra gmail accoun that I had, and entered my birthdate/age.  A few years later, she received an iPad, and most recently, an iPhone.   All of these devices are tied to the same AppleID.
    Well, now she will be 13 years old soon, and I would like to switch things to represent reality.  She has her own email account, and I believe you can go to My Apple Id to change the Apple ID name and e-mail address.  My question is, can we change the age associated with the account?
    I hear you saying, "Just create a new AppleID for her."  That may end up being the only solution, but I am trying to avoid having two AppleIDs for her to keep up with.  She has already purchased a fair amount of content (music and apps) under the existing AppleID, and I am pretty sure from looking at the posts on this Community that you can not transfer content away from the AppleID under which it was downloaded/purchased.  And so, if I create a new AppleID, she will have to re-purchase the content to get it all in one place.  As she eventually grows up and becomes independent, I would like for he to not have to "start over" with her AppleID.
    Any advice or direction to information would be appreciated.

    I have a similar situation however a bit more complicated! It seems that when I was setting the birthdate I forgot to change the year so now my seven years old daughter shows up as a two months old! There is no way to change the birthdate because it shows up in light grey when I login into my daughters account and doesn't allow a change! The birthdate can be changed only when the child turns 13 however according to this she will have to be 20 before she can change it to show property 13 and here is where this is getting completely out of hand! Now to make things more complicated I have twin daughters and they came up with their unique but similar Apple ID, so changing one will require to change both Apple IDs! After being on the phone with Apple's customer support for about one hour I talked to a supervisor and the supervisor of the supervisor and their only solution is to create a new Apple ID! Of course in my case I will have to create two new Apple IDs, and I'm considering doing it. However when I started reading it becomes more complicated because I already made their Apple IDs part of my family group. It seems like you're not able to just let go of family member that is less than 13 years of age. You can only transfer it to another family, so Apple is making sure there are no kids left behind It seems like the only option will be to "abandon" the family and then create a new family with the new Apple IDs. If all this sounds bizarre to you it sounds bizarre to me too! If I can just put the kids in the car and drive them to the nearest one hour away Apple Store and have them show their credentials confirming their birthdate I would rather do that than having to spend more and more time with this issue, but that was not an option pointed out by customer support. So folks keep in mind that if you make a mistake your children's age is set in stone until he or she turns 20 if they happen to be seven at the time you made the mistake and no one can change this, even Apple! Now on the positive side I'm glad I didn't do the mistake when she was 13 or she will have to wait until she's 26 Most likely I'll be calling customer support tomorrow again and I will let you know how it went!
