Receiving emails about a newly set up itunes account that does not belong to me (although has my name). The address used in connection with it seems to be in California and the person likes Justin Bieber - what's going on here?

Hi. I am receiving emails about a newly set up itunes account that does not belong to me (although has my name). The address used in connection with it seems to be in California and the person likes Justin Bieber (as I now have a receipt for that purchase). It states that it is billed to store credit. (a) I don't want to receive this person's information and (b) I certainly don't want to somehow be charged for it (although it appears, thus far, that I have not been). What's going on?

i didn't read a lot of your 2nd paragraph, but it seems like the password is the issue, right?
do a true clean install
reboot your machine and hold down command+option+r, you should see a spinning globe - if you don't see the globe or anything that reads internet recovery, shut down and try again
at menu, chose disk utility and once there, find your HD on the left side, select the physical name and erase it as mac journaled
exit disk utlity
at menu, choose install OSX
this time, when it asks for a password just hit continue, it will let you complete without a password
you should be able to get into your laptop, now figure out what password you'll be able to use with your kb issue

Trying to update existing apps; will only prompt me for an old iTunes account that does not exist any more

How do I get a prompt for my new account when updating existing apps? I had used one of my sons account for most of the apps on my iPhone. I have since move up to a iPhone 4S and created my own account to use iCloud. But everytime I try to update the exiting apps I am prompted for a password to my sons account. I am logged on to iCloud with my new account at the same time.
It looks like the apps retain some kind of tag to the original account used during download.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi ...
Your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

Your computer needs to be authorized with the "old" Apple ID. Pull done Store > Authorize... And type the credentials when prompted.

Try signing out of your iTunes account (scroll to bottom in the app), then sign in again.

I have a page showing up when I run my Keynote presentation that does not belong there and is not in the navigation area-how do I remove it?

I have a page showing up when I run my Keynote presentation that does not belong there. It's not in the navigation area so there is no obvious way to delete it—how do I remove it?

Not sure if these will help... In the navigator view, is there a triangle next to the slide that appears before the slide that does not belong? If so, click it and you might find the extra slide in there. Or try View Menu:Light Table and see if you can find it in there.

HT201209 If I redeem an iTunes gift card on an account that does not have a credit card or NONE as payment, can I gift apps to other accounts? It will not let me. Please advise.

If I redeem an iTunes Gift Card to an Apple ID that does not have a credit card (or NONE is selected as payment option), can I gift an app to another account?
I can purchase apps on that account but it will not allow me to gift an app from an ipad or via the itunes store (on the computer). Do I need to have a credit card on the account to be able to do that?

You can only gift via a credit card - you can only use your account's balance for buying content for yourself.

Firefox is not launching in one user account (just does not react at all) although it works fine in another account on the same laptop

Have been running Firefox without problem in both my own and my child's account on my laptop. Today, although Firefox still works normally in my own account, it does not launch at all in my child's account. Clicking on either the short cut or via AllPrograms results in the timer starting briefly and then disappearing and nothing happening. I have checked Task Manager and Firefox is not showing as running in the Processes tab. I have tried to set up a new profile in that account to no effect.

I am having exactly the same problem. This worked on all versions of Firefox up until mid last week. It started failing on Wednesday, coincident with the installation of Firefox 8.0 (see attached gif showing the automatic update on that date).
To fix the problem, you have to shut down Firefox 8.0 on one account, switch to the other account and then you can run it there.
If Firefox 8.0 is running on on account, the other account will run Firefox, but when you enter an URL it waits for quite a while then reports "The connection was reset. The connection was reset while the page was loading".
We also use Thunderbird 8.0 and it does not exhibit this problem, and works at the same time as Firefox 8.0. I suspect they might share some components.
I'd be happy to supply more details if needed.
Thanks,
Ed

Want 2 separate itunes accounts that do not sync

I have two nanos and only one PC. I have two separate i tunes accounts. Each time I hook up one of the nanos, the full library from the other nano syncs up with the one I just connected. I want to be able to keep the two completely separate.

You will probably get better suggestions from the iTunes forum.

TS3899 My iPhone 4s will receive emails but refuses to send them saying my server does not recognise the account... Help!

I cannot send emails regardless of wifi connection but an read them no problem I don't understand the problem

Check your iPhone's Email settings in Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calenders then selec the account. Make sure the Outgoing Mail Server is properly set. It may or may not be the same as the Incoming server. Contact your email provider for the proper address. If the address is properly set try trunning "Use SSL" off as well as ensuring the proper username and passord is enter here as well.

I'm trying to restore a new ipod but it keeps asking me for the passwords of itunes accounts that are not mine.

It is trying to restore my new ipod from the backup cloud, but it keeps asking me for the passwords of three different itunes accounts, two i know are my friends accounts and I don;t even know whoose the third is. I must have some of their music on my library or something, but it won't backup without these passwords it seems. Is there a way to get around this? I have the music in my Itunes library and can listen to it all I want and burn it on cds but I cant get it to go on my ipod without their passwords. Can i switch it and just have it sync to my computer and not this icloud? My other ipod didnt ask me for these passwords when I tried to sync it.

If you have music that was purchased on different iTunes accounts than the one you use, then you must provide the password, otherwise the tunes are not considered yours. You can turn off iCloud and just use the usual USB sync method. But I wonder whether you'll have the same problem?

I write both JPG and DNG files in the camera.   Camera is a Leica Monochrom.   Photo, unlike iPhoto, seems to ignore DNG files and only imports JPG files.   What am I missing here?

I write both JPG and DNG files in the camera.   Camera is a Leica Monochrom.   Photo, unlike iPhoto, seems to ignore DNG files and only imports JPG files when both are present on the SD card. JPGs are used for quick proofing on an iPad.    DNG RAW files are edited on a Mac Pro (2013).    Other than deleting the JPGs before importing images from the SD card, is there any way to force Photo to select and import only the DNG images?

Thanks Larry,
I did see the J stacked in the lower left of the thumbnails but couldn't figure out how to get to whatever is below it.   How do you select R?
I use an iPad to do quick proofs of my images.   A JPG is good enough for a proof ( dust on the lens, composition, blown out image, etc. ).   The iPad is JPG friendly and can load the images quickly.    Serious editing takes place on my Mac Pro with the DNG files.   I use the same workflow with the the Leica M 240.   iPhoto has been a quick and easy importer to the Mac capturing all of the metadata in the EXIF sidecar file ( location, date, time, camera settings, lens type). A quick scan in iPhoto for the "keepers" let's me export those worth editing to Lightroom/Bridge/Photoshop. I typically shoot 50 images from three locations in a normal day. If I'm lucky I'll get 1 worth real work to add to the portfolio.

How do I redeem an iTunes code that does not have a box around it?

iI bought an iTunes gift and they received the email but it does not have a box around the code and they can't find a way to redeem it.

Howdy Roy,
It sounds to me like you have purchased an iTunes Gift Card and you’re having an issue redeeming it. I have linked to an article that may help in this situation:
If you can't redeem your iTunes Gift Card or code - Apple Support
Contact iTunes Store Support
If the code is completely scratched off or you still can't redeem your gift card, contact iTunes Support:
Go to the iTunes Store support page and choose your country.
From the menu on the left, choose Contact Support.
Click Contact iTunes Store Support.
Follow the instructions.
iTunes Store Support might ask you to send these things:
Image of the full front and back of your gift card
Sales receipt showing when your card was purchased
Serial number from your gift card
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
BobbyD

I need to reset a password for a game center account that does not have an email account associated with it. I keep getting a message that it has been disabled.

We have 3 iPads on my iTunes account. My son created a game center account as a minor and it did not require an email account. Now he cannot remember his password and he is locked out. I am unable to reset it because all he has is his nickname and not a real apple I.d. How can I fix this?

I just saw that the app Doodle Jump HD FREE which is said to be downloaded is not seen in my purchases in APP STORE, so assume it is a spam. However I still cant reset my password...
Thank you again!
PS. The email looks so real... from APPLE
