An update for numbers was shown for my macbook pro, however even though this has been done I cannot open numbers without updating and when you try to update again it advises you that this is already done so we go round in circles getting nowhere, any idea

` I cannot open numbers as it requires and update, and the update has taken place yet it still maintains that an update is required and when you look to iupdate it advises you that you have already updated so we go around the circle and get nowhere. Help please.

Hi renrut,
Do not delete the old version of Numbers (Numbers 2.3, Numbers'09). It has features that the new Numbers has lost (in particular, Print View).
Numbers '09 has been moved to a folder called iWork '09 inside your Applications folder. The icon on your Dock continues to point to Numbers '09. Launching Numbers from that icon is why you get the "Update" message. Numbers 2.3 is trying to open a Numbers 3 document.
The new version of Numbers (Numbers 3.2 is the latest version) lives in your Applications folder (not a sub folder). Drag that icon to your Dock. It will become an Alias. Right click (or control click) on it and Options > Keep In Dock. Now you can chose which version to run.
Numbers 2 on the left (three columns)
Numbers 3 on the right (four columns).
Both versions will run happily side by side. Just be sure which version you use to open a Numbers document. If Numbers 3 tries to "steal" a Numbers 2 document, you will get a warning when you start to edit:
Edit a Copy will preserve your Numbers 2 document and create a Numbers 3 copy. Cancel will get you out. Upgrade will convert your Numbers 2 document to a Numbers 3 document.
If all else fails, you can do Menu > File > Export To > Numbers '09 to revert.
Do not delete Numbers '09 (or Numbers '08) from your machine! You will need them.
Regards,
Ian.

Downloaded an app and it is not there, when I try to download again, it tells me that it is already installed, please help!

Downloaded an app and it is not there but when I try to reinstall it says it is installed and it won't let me, please help?

Reboot your iPad and then look again - do the search again and see if you at least confirm that it is on the iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If you can confirm that the app is on the iPad with the search, but still cannot find it on any of your screens, connect your iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Select your iPad on the left side. Click on the Apps Tab in the iTunes window on the right. Look through the list of apps and find it in the list. Double click on the icon in that list and it should show you the folder and screen that the app is on.

Am prompted to authorize iTunes account in order to play music, however passwords are not accepted and when I try to recover password, I am told that the Apple ID does not exist. How do I get my songs to play?

Hi everybody, I just recently upgraded my laptop and now can't play my music anymore. I bought the music years ago on an Apple ID that I haven't used for a while and even though I have a password written down, it doesn't seem to be the correct one. Furthermore, when I try to reset the password and send an e-mail to this old Apple ID, I don't receive anything and thus cannot even reset the passwort. Lastly, neither my, nor my mother's birthdate will work for security questions in order to reset the passwort. I really don't care about the account, I just want to get my music back! So if anybody either knows how to (re?)activate this Apple ID OR how to get my music playable both on my laptop as also on my other Apple devices without having to deal with this old Apple ID, I'd be super thankful for any help or tips!

I purchased a macbook air from someone on craigslist, and when i try to download iPhoto, it tells me that these apps were already designated to another apple id. any way to reset the app store from thinking it's still alligned with him? Lion was reset already, but this isn't. If i download on my mac mini, will i then be able to retrieve the download on my air?

Hi...
On the MBAir drag the iPhoto app to the Trash, empty the Trash.
Then try purchasing and downloading iPhoto.
You can re download iPhoto on all your authorized Macs. To authorize the MBAir, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store > Authorize This Mac. You will be prompted for your Apple ID and password.
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

None of my Firefox icons will open Firefox today. And when I try to reinstall it, the message says Firefox is already open. But I don't see it.

Every morning I click on the Firefox icon and it opens. Today it will not. When I try to reinstall it, a message appears that Firefox is already open. But I cannot see it. Of course I can use Chrome or Internet Explorer (as I'm doing), but I like Firefox. And I also want to know what the problem is ... in case something serious is wrong with my computer.

Hello,
* Go to your task manager (right click your task bar and select "Start Task Manager" - http://www.howtogeek.com/108742/how-to-use-the-new-task-manager-in-windows-8/)
* Check if Firefox is on that list. If it is - select it and End Task.
* Try opening Firefox again; if it still doesn't open after a while, repeat the above two steps and then try [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]]
** On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
** When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
* '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
* ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

After a recent hard drive crash I needed to authorise my pc again. I first de-authorised all previous computers (there was no other option)
Then I authorised the pc with the new hard drive.

Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if you can then send emails

Help!! I'm using a Mid 2012 MBP retina 2.3Ghz i7 with 8GB of ram 256SSD. for the past 2 years my write speeds has been consistently on 400MB/s and up via black magic test. but now it only have 100MB/s going down to 80MB/s. what should I do???? I have already cleaned and even restored my MBP still it's on 100MB/s. please help. I have to finish tasks on a timely manner.

No. This requires completely repartitioning the SSD. You can do that only by using the Network Recovery method or the method I outlined. My method preserves all your data and doesn't require doing a slow Network Recovery. But if you wish to do that instead. The purpose of the whole exercise is to "clean" the SSD of garbage collected during use that tends to cause the SSD to slow down as you've described.
Install OS X Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button. Set Zero Data - one-pass, click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

TS2755 i did the update for the ios7 and when i try to activate my imessage it says that it cant sign in to check my network connection. but my internet is working perfectly fine. anyone help ?

I keep trying to activate my imessage and it keeps saying that I cant. to check my network connection and try again. but my internet is working perfectly fine. can anyone help me with this ?

Have you tried restarting the phone? Hold both Home and Power buttons down until Apple logo appears and phone "reboots".
And have you tried resetting Network Settings?
Settings => General => Reset => Reset Network Settings
You will have to re-enter Wifi Passwords but it might help you get to a more solid connection on your phone.

Ipod 5 will not boot up from no batteries even though it has been charging for 30 minutes.

I bought an iPod Touch 5th generation in December 2013. It is completely out of batteries and when I plug it in it says it's charging but never boots up. Now when I plug it in the iPod doesn't even show the dead batterie sign. I have tried multiple adapters that are certified by Apple but the two USB to Thunderbolt cables I've tried are not certified by Apple. Could it be the uncertified cables are is it a bad batterie? I don't want to buy an overpriced apple cable to find out it's the iPods fault. I have cleaned out the port in my iPod and all the connection that could be faulty, unfortunately I do not have another IOS device that supports Thunderbolt so I can't tell if it's the cables fault. I will probably ask to borrow someones fifth generation device although I am almost 100% certain that it is not the cables fault.

What do you mean by:
- "multiple adapters that are certified by Apple"? Do yo mean wall charger?
- "USB to Thunderbolt cables"? A Lightning cable plugs into the iPod
Yes, a bad USB to Lightning cable can result in no charging. Also, some non-Apple cables do not work.
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
- If a 5G iPod
Iphone 5 lightning port charging problem - SOLUTION!
- Try another charging source I think you already did did this
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

If necessary:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I do not qualify for the Verizon edge plan, even though I have been customer ever since they bought Alltel. Has anyone else had this problem.

Today I went to the Verizon store to upgrade my girlfriends phone which is on my account b/c I wanted to use the edge plan to buy the iPhone 5c. I had read in several different places that I could upgrade using edge and not loose my unlimited data, turns out I was misinformed, which the guy at the store told me after he had my information pulled up using my cell number. I told the guy I was not willing to give up my unlimited plan AND pay full price for the phone, I thanked him for his time and we left. When we left the store I called the Verizon number that is given on the website and told them I was interested in the edge plan for the 5c and asked for more information, ( I thought the guy at the store was wrong and I was checking). The woman I talked.......long story short, I talked to 8 people including 2 managers and none of them could tell me why I did not qualify for the edge financing (even if switching the plan), SO I was hoping someone on here might could help. I have been a customer since Verizon bought out Alltel, I have automatic payments set up with no late payments for as long as I can remember, and was eligible for an upgrade on 01/03/2013. Any experience or advice in this area would be appreciated.
Thank You!

Here is my advice, at least. Not sure if anyone will agree, but it is my take on the problem.
With the Edge program, there is a "possibility" that someone will pay full price for a phone. This is not always the case, though. IF you do not complete ALL of the 24 months of payments, then you WILL NOT have paid full price for the phone, but simply a portion of the full price. THAT is why it does not make the plan "eligible" to keep your unlimited data. With the Edge plan, technically you only have to pay 50% of the full price before you can trade it in for another phone on the Edge plan. The way the plan is designed, the majority of people WILL NOT ever pay full price for the phone, but only a portion of the full price before they exchange their phone for a new device. That is what Verizon is hoping for, at least.
As Ann154 has pointed out, you can use the Device Payment Plan and keep your unlimited data. At no time during your contract can you trade THAT phone in to get another phone. You would have to continue making the payments on THAT phone along with any other phone you upgraded to. THAT is the difference between the 2 plans. You WILL end up paying full price for the phone on the Device Payment Plan, where you can STOP making payments on a phone with the Edge Plan if you turn it in for another device.
Good luck.
