TS3297 iTunes puts up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one. How I can clear that messag

I've been running iTunes on WinXP for years with few problems. I have all my iTunes files on an external USB drive. I just bought a new PC running Win7, 64-bit.
I connected the external USB drive to the new PC and installed 64-bit iTunes on it. When iTunes started up, I pointed it at the iTunes directory in the external drive, using Edit > Preferences > Advanced > iTunes Media Folder Location. It showed a progress bar that it was updating the iTunes Library. I signed in and authorized the new machine. I have one spare authorization.
Then iTunes put up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one.
When I click OK, the iTunes Store page remains blank, apart from saying "iTunes Store" in the middle of the page.
I went to "View My Account" and pressed the Reset button to "Reset all warnings for buying and downloading items", but that doesn’t fix this particular warning. I also tried Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Reset Warnings and Rest Cache.
But still, every time I click the “App Store” button in the iTunes Store window, the message appears. If I click the Books, Podcasts or iTunesU buttons, these display normally. So I’m stuck with being unable to purchase apps, other than through my iPad and iPhone.
If I move the external drive back to the XP machine, the same thing happens. If I go to another PC - a notebook running Vista - everything is normal.
Any idea how I can clear that message?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Further info on my question above.
I have tried re-validating my credit card, which apparently fixed it for some.
I have also tried uninstalling, re-downloading and installing again.
Neither of these steps fixed the problem.

MacBook Pro freezes when using any app other than the web browser.

My MacBook freezes when using any app other than the web browser. I can open up Google Chrome and use it all day with no problem, but if I minimize it and try to browse through photos in my picture folder or do anything that involves the Finder, the computer just freezes up and I get the rainbow wheel. If I put in a CD to play it, the computer freezes with the rainbow wheel. Any suggestions? I would like to use the mac for more things than the internet.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

In iCloud Backup and Storage it shows a different name other than my own. How do I delete that name and change it to my name

I have an iPhone 4. My other half has one too. They were purchased and activated on the same day by her at the verison store. She does not have an iCloud account but I do. When I go to iCooud settings in my phone and then click on Backup and Storage it shows her as being the owner and I want to change that. Someone told me it was easy in phone settings without having to connect to iTunes. I have looked around in settings but don't know how to do it. Can someone tell me how to do that plz?

I have laready set up my iCloud account and verified it.
So the problem is this:
I go to settings > iCloud > Storage and Backup. There it says that MY phone belongs to my wife. I had been told that it is easy to change that specific thing to show that it is my iPhone. That is where I am having the issue.
With that being said, I try to do a backup to iCloud and it doesn't go through due to that.

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

HT2688 Having updated to iOS7, I am unable to upload a video to shared stream but when I do, it won't play on any device other than the one used to upload ... help

Having updated to iOS7, I am unable to upload a video to shared stream but when I do, it won't play on any device other than the one used to upload ... help please

I also have this problem, as does everybody else I know who has tried to use the video in icloud. As the original poster says, they can be uploaded, but will only play on the device from which they were originally uploaded, appeaering only as images which display an endless buffering symbol when "played" on any other devices with which the photostream is shared.
Has anyone been able to get this to work? And if not, why is there no acknowledgement from Apple that this bug exists and will be addressed in an update (now running 7.0.2 and still no improvement)? It was, after all, advertised as one of the attractive new features of iOS 7. So why the stony silence?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first back up to iCloud may take some considerable time. Just how long isn't really possible to say without knowing how much is in your back up and your connection speed.

Help! MS Word keeps hanging up. Any options other than 'forced quit'? How do I make it stop?Can content since last auto-save be retrieved? I've enabled Tracking Changes and Auto-Save for every 10 min. No idea what cause pin wheel to start whirling. Is this something I can wait out? or must I do forced quit and lose my work?

If you installed a Security Update early this month, about the 2nd or so, and not one since then, run Software Update - if it offers another Security Update, accept and install that one. The original Feb 2012 update had some flaws with regard to MS software in particular; the follow-up update fixed those.

MacPro wont boot from any disk other than the main HD

Hi all,
I want to startup my MacPro from a different drive other than the main (original) Macintosh HD, so I can do maintenance and for emergencies.
However, I cannot startup from a DVD. Not DiskWarrior, or even the retail Snow Leopard disk.
I attempted to install the OS on another internal drive, but the intallation seemed to fail (the disk I tried to install onto was Mac OS Extended, Case-sensitive, Journaled, but there were no complaints from the installer.)
So even though my computer runs OK, and I can continue doing work etc, I am unable to do the maintenance that I believe it needs.
I have tried to:
• Run the updated DiskWarrior DVD
• Run the SL instal DVD
• Taken all the extra wires/drives out of the back of the computer
• Attempted to install the OS onto a second internal drive
I have not:
• Zapped the PRAM yet.
• Run the computer in target disk mode and worked on it from my MacBook
• Run the MacBook in target mode to use its DVD drive.
This problem has come up before on this machine. I can't remember what the problem was, other than I used to run the MacPro on its side. No longer. Not for the last few months.
Anybody come across this before? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Aaron

You could use CCC to do a trimmed down clone and leave out most of the sub folders. Do a 2nd clone to have a full working copy.
Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.2
Cloning as a Backup Strategy
My guess is one of your drives needs to be reinitialized. Only during format will the hidden partition blocks be tested, and of course a healthy set of partitions created, things that cannot be repaired normally - though Lion Recovery partition does have abilty to check the health of partition tables. And about the only reason I'd even buy Lion!
Check partition table health in Lion's Disk Utility

My ex husband bought our 2 girls new Iphones some months ago. They just noticed he had them logged into his icloud and they have never used this facility. Can anyone confirm that he has access to their photos, imessages, SMS, facebook and email etc?

The children had new IPhones 5s bought for them by my ex-husband. He set them up and logged them into his Icloud account which they were unaware of. Some months later they have messages saying their Icloud storage is full which alerted them to the fact it was his Icloud account on their phones. There was also some transference of personal photos from other devices to their phones from his phone? We know he was able to see things on their phone but did not know how. Can he backup all their info without their knowledge? Did he have access to their email; imessage, SMS, facebook, photos etc
Please explain how we can ensure his icloud account details are removed from their phones so he can not access their phones. In addition is there anyway he could have put spyware on their phones and if so can we run a test of some sort?
Any help greatly appreciated.

You should do the following on each of your children's devices:
Log out of iCloud.
Log out of the iTunes Store and App Store.
Create a new Apple ID.
Log in to iCloud using the new Apple ID.
It isn't possible to install malicious software on an iOS device unless the device is jailbroken or you have the resources of a government intelligence agency.

I have a twitter search bar by my navigation bar and I have never used twitter in my life and want to eliminate it

I have only used Firefox for a couple of weeks. It worked fine at first, but at one point it started a problem of me not being able to navigate through web sites or within a web sight easily. I could click on the arrows for back and forward and more than half the time, it wouldn't work. if I kept clicking, maybe it would work. I noticed a "Twitter" search bar for the first time and have been trying to get rid of that and use the Bing search bar, but can't do it. I downloaded the Bing search bar but can't get it installed. The Twitter bar is worse than useless.

I was finally able to get rid of the Twitter search bar. I clicked on the tiny down pointing triangle right after the Twitter icon and selected Bing.
I'm still not sure if it corrected the problem with my back and forward arrows. Before, I could click on them at times and get a " Waiting for "whoever'" and a blank screen or the same page I was looking at before. I could click several times and it would finally work. I could usually click on my Home icon and it would work, but EVERYTHING was very uncertain. I am still experiment to see how often it still happens, but I stopped using Microsoft IE because of a similar problem. When I first installed Firefox, it was fine, but I was trying to work on cookie retention or rejection and I believe that is when it got screwed up.
