Another Newby (to Apple) Question

With my previous microsoft system, I could delete internet history, temp files, and cookies to help speed up my processor. I would do this a couple times per month. I have seen how to delete history from safari, but I do not know if one can delete temp files and cookies. If there is a process would someone, please, share that with me? I would be truly grateful. Thanks!

If you're using Safari, you can go to the Safari menu, and select 'Reset Safari' which will remove in one step: caches, history, cookies, downloads.

How do you switch from one iTunes account to another on your apple tv?

How do you switch from one iTunes account to another on your apple tv?

Welcome to the Apple community.
I assume you do mean a different account and not simply a different iTunes library. Unfortunately, in order to switch accounts, you would need to log out and log in to the second account.

Another Unlimited Data Upgrade Question

(Yes, it's another one of those questions. I'm sorry, but searching - on here, or on Google - only left me with conflicting information.)
Here's my question:
A friend of mine is interested in selling me his Galaxy Nexus phone. Would I be able to keep my single-line, grandfathered, unlimited data plan if I buy his phone and switch to it, or is that only possible if I were to buy the phone new, directly from Verizon?
Here's my story:
I have an HTC Thunderbolt that I purchased when it launched. A few months after buying it, it turned into the HTC Bad Dream, and now it's the HTC Nightmare. Random heat issues, battery draining, random reboots... It's the same song and dance we've heard before. These are design issues with the phone; not something a replacement or a repair would fix.
The real annoyance, though, is the mobile hotspot. I pay $30/month to use the hotspot legitimately, unlike the users who root their phones to use it without paying for the option, but ever since Verizon started blocking the third-party wireless tethering apps, I've had to choose between using the stock mobile hotspot app and unleashing the above-mentioned Phonemageddon, or simply going without. I could drop the option from my plan, but seeing as the unlimited data plan no longer exists, I wouldn't be able to get it back without switching to a tiered or shared plan.
Switching to a more stable phone would alleviate my issues, hopefully, but the difference between Verizon's retail prices and other retailers is hundreds of dollars. Giving up my unlimited plan, however, wouldn't make the venture worth it. A definite answer to the question of buying used - either from a Verizon representative, or a customer who's been in the same scenario before - would be very helpful.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
If you provide your own equipment (your friend's Nexus or from ebay etc) then YES you can keep unlimited data. Another wayto keep unlimited would be to pay full retail for a new phone. But I'm sure your friend will give you a better deal than that
Hope that helps!

HT4436 Why is my daughter receiving my text messages on her itouch when I send them from my iphone? We are both on icloud so how can I separate the two? Do I need another icould or apple account??

Why is my daughter receiving my text messages on her itouch when I send them from my iphone? We are both on icloud so how can I separate the two? Do I need another icould or apple account??

It's happening because you are using the same Apple ID for iMessage. You don't need to do anything with your iCloud account to fix this. You should create a separate Apple ID for her device to use with iMessage and FaceTime. (You can continue to share the same ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores if you wish; it doesn't need to be the same as the ID you use for other services.) Once you've done this, on her device go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID. Do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
Another caution is that if you share and iCloud account with her, any data you both sync with the account such as contacts, will be merged and the merged data will appear on both devices. If you don't want to end up with each other's contacts, calendars, etc. on your devices, you should have separate iCloud accounts to. If you want to make this change, go to Settings>iCloud on her device and tap Delete Account. (This only deletes the account from the device, not from iCloud.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data be sure to choose Keep On My iPod. Then set up a new iCloud account with her new ID, turn on iCloud data syncing again, and when prompted choose Merge.

I lost all my purchased songs when my hard drive. Can I get another copy from Apple?

I lost all my purchased songs when my hard drive. Can I get another copy from Apple?

Quite possibly, at least assuming you are based in the US. Install the latest build of iTunes, sign into the iTunes Store and click the Purchased entry in the Quck Links panel. Here in the UK I only get tabs fro Apps and Books but, if I understand correctly, you should also get a tab for Music. Click on the Not in My Library button and you should be able to download your purchases again.

You need to contact Apple and transfer that computer, the serial number, into your name and your Apple ID. Then you should be able to update the included Apple Apps from the App store. No need to Re-buy them again.
Caveat to the above.
If your Mac did not originally come with Lion Preinstalled, early releases of early 2011 models and older, and originally had Snow Leopard installed the original owner should of supplied the Mac OS X System Discs with the system. If that person didn't you should order them from Apple at a small fee, and don't lose them.

Another "get album artwork" question

another "get album artwork" question
I notice that when I click "get album artwork" it seems to go through the whole library and look for cover jpegs. (in my case, that's going to take a long time!)
here's my question: it's looking for artwork, yes, but it's NOT going to do anyything to the many, many albums for which I have already (manually) added artwork, is it? If it does - I am in trouble! Please, somebody, reassure me that the artwork I have painstakingly added manually to zillions of albums is safe!

Updade...
So, as another test, I uninstalled iTunes, then checked the hard drive again.
All the icons have now turned into Quicktime icons, which leads me to believe that when you look at your music in finder, it shows the icons related to your default music player.
So, my next step is to find a new default player, and maybe my album covers will show up again.

I broke my iPad but have another with different Apple ID and would like to get the movies and music I purchased from my Apple ID is that possible

I broke my iPad but I have another with diffrent Apple ID is it possible to get purchases from my first Apple ID

Everything should be kept on your computer and backed up.
Have you failed to do this?
If so:

HT1498 i watched a movie tonight. then i tried to watch another movie and apple tv said i needed to verify my payment information. 20 minutes later, i'm still trying to figure out how to verify my payment information. so my question to you is ***?

How do I verify payment information?
Why would apple need me to verify payment information when I just watched a movie?
Result of the inefficient process of apple tv
I have to go to amazon aka the empire, to watch a a movie.
right now, in this moment of 2014, i miss video stores, after all this ****, I could have gone out and picked up the movie.
blurg.

Okay, so istumbler says my connection goes to yellow when I go to the Aple TV location, but my internet speed is greatly increased tonight (20Mbps on speedtest.net near the router and 15.49Mbps at the Apple TV). Upload is unchanged at a little under 1Mbps). I did manage to get the Apple Contact location and I am sure they will post a credit for the movie (since their logs will show repeated attepts to download and no joy, although we both know they won't go to the trouble to look at them). As far as I'm concerned, it was a one-time problem and until it happens again to me, I will remain convinced it was on their end of the connection or in between (although that was unlikely). I've been administering and managing netowrks for over 20 years and am pretty confident that the connection on my end was working.

Another Newby question

My first attempt at a composition created in AE, rendered and output to FCP worked COMPLETE WITH TRANSPARENT BACKGROUND.
I had to make some revisions in AE and when I re-rendered and replaced on the timeline in FCP I have a solid (white) background.
AND I cannot work out what I have done to change from transparent to solid white background (I am sure it will all look so easy once I have been using AE for longer than 24hrs!)

Another newby question -- sorry

Hi All,
I've composed a sequence which has regular fonts --- the fonts are black, with a transparent background. When I export, I just see a black screen in quicktime. I want to import this into Final Cut --- any ideas? How do I get it to display just the black characters?

You won't see the text if you view the file in QuickTime Player.
Import your LiveType movie into FCP and superimpose on the background. It should composite automatically.
If you have LiveType version 1.2 or higher, you can import the project file directly into FCP and treat it exactly as if it were a video clip. No need to render a movie first.

I had this exact same issue on a Spectre XT Pro Ultrabook.
The original SSD failed and I was sent a replacement, was fortunate enough to be able to create a Recovery USB stick using the wizard in Windows. When booting from USB I received the message "You are not able to restore this system with the media".
SOLUTION: You must NOT use the Recovery USB stick in any USB3.0 port (labelled SS). Using another USB port prevented this exact error message from appearing and I was able to complete the system restore process.
I hope this helps someone, I signed up and posted here especially for this reason!

New to Apple, questions about using Windows, and other things

Hello all,
Today is my first day as an Apple owner. It's funny because I'm also a MCSE, MCSA, and MCP.
I purchased a 24" iMac, 2.8GHz, 4GB RAM, and 1TB Hard Drive.
I want to use Windows on my Mac so that I don't have to keep switching over to my PC. My main reason for using Windows is so that I can continue to enjoy my PC Games... mostly racing and D&D games.
So my question is... how does Windows run on bootcamp? Can I still use all of my USB controllers (like my steering wheels, joysticks, etc?)
I really havent even turned on my iMac... been too amazed at just looking at it for the first day (and also rearranging my home office).
I really just want to know from those of you who have PCs AND Macs, if you still find yourself having to go back to your PC because of incompatibilities or performance issues on the iMac?

Using BootCamp, your Windows experience is no different than if running it on a similarly configured PC. If you went with a VM running under Mac OS X (like VMWare or Parallels), there are a number of differences. However, using BootCamp you have a Mac-branded PC.
I'd point out that people have been dual-booting operating systems in this fashion for decades. Windows has no obvious in-built support for doing so, but other operating systems (like Linux, FreeBSD, etc.) have always very clearly and explicitly supported dual-booting (on Macs and regular PCs) from the get go.
