Anyone know the address of Apple's update server?
We're trying to set up our clients to first point to our own xserve then, should it for some reason be unavailable, to check apple's. We're not quite sure how to do this but it should look something this right?:
http://<our server address>:http://<apple's server address>
Is this correct?
Perhaps a little more clarification would help
We are using Work Group Manager to create computer groups for our client computers. On one of the computer groups we select the group, then go to System Preferences -> Software Update.
We set it to be Always managed and provide the URL for our xserve that will be hosting the service. we would also like to specify for this group of computers that if our server crashes and they are unable to access the server for updates, that they should point to Apple's update server instead. Would just like some advice on how to do this.

I just downloaded a new software update on my I-phone5. As part of the process I was asked to sign in to iCloud and enter the password for an ID that I've long ago deleted with Apple. Anyone know why my new apple ID isn't coming up?
No. The problem is that when you changed Apple IDs you did not update your Apple ID to reflect the change, so your phone is still associated with the old ID. You will need to un-associate it. The process is the same as what you would do if you sold the phone. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661

After updating to iOS 6 my iPod Touch 4th.Gen is virtually unusable ... does anyone know how to sue Apple since they gave no warning about iOS 6 being for iPad optimisation and a killer for iPods ? Before I throw away my iPod Touch does anyone know if Apple intends to rectify their obnoxious disregard for iPod users by issuing another 'upgrade' which will allow iPods to work without the constant system crashes that iOS 6 has caused ?
Contact a lawyer if you want to sue.
Otherwise try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

So I dropped it... And the screen cracked a bit. It's fairly new (got it in November) but I noticed Apple doesn't cover accidents like mine. Anyone know the prices for getting a replacement/ repair? It's not that bad of a crack, but it's annoying and new so..Yah. Any help with prices for a replacement/warranty would be helpful and on how I should do it. Maybe I can get a replacement for cheap or free cuz I got it recently and I've never complained to Apple before? I know it's my mistake but I'd be thankful if you guys could help! Thanks!
Sorry, but the warranty does not cover accidental damage no matter how recently you got your iPod. As to servicing, Apple does not repair iPods, but will replace the entire iPod for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
There are independent iPod repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipod repair". It is also possible to purchase parts and find instructions on doing a repair yourself, though it's not particularly easy. Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPod serviced by an unauthorized shop or perform a repair yourself, all further support from Apple will be void.

Anyone know the History of the Apple symbol?
I'm probaby posting in the wrong section, but does anyone know the history behind the apple symbol? How and why was an apple chosen?
ThanksThe original logo for Apple Computer Co. had the look of a wood-cutting or block-print or tattoo. It featured Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. You can see that logo here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Originalapplelogo.jpg (You'll have to type in the full link, sorry.)
The apple with a bite taken out of it is a later development, and its symbolic meaning is probably easy enough to interpret for most people who've read Genesis.
Incidentally, the original Apple I was priced at $666.66....

I'd like to know too for my MacBook Pro Retina (Late 2013). Having spoken to some Apple Stores here in Sydney, I need to bring in the computer for them to tell me. I'll know more tomorrow.

Does anyone know the status of the new CMYK monitor display Apple is developing?
Does anyone know the status of the new CMYK monitor display Apple is developing?
I have the same iMac as you but with a 1 TB hard drive.
Apple replaced the 1 TB hard drive of iMacs manufactured between October 2009 and July 2011 because of problems. When I took my iMac, the Genius gave me the bill (even if the repair was free) and the 1 TB hard drive cost about $100. This was with a 1 TB Seagate hard drive, so the cost for a 500 GB hard drive may be smaller, depending on the brand -
Does anyone know the sys file path to Apple Mail draft-emails folder?
Does anyone know the system file path to Apple Mail draft-emails folder?
I want to stuff a bunch of files into that folder and have them appear in Apple Mail.
ThanksI think the problem is the fact that the emails are on a PPC G5 and in a completely different format that your main iMac (you're on Lion?). There is even a problem between SL and Lion; I just spent hours dragging individual mailboxes from a Lion machine to an SL machine. They wound up in the Import section. And, I just tried it: after you manually put the mailboxes in the appropriate spot and you've rebuilt each mailbox once it appears in Mail, I was able to drag an email from an Import mailbox to my Inbox. But, as I said that was between SL and Lion; don't know if that would work with 10.4 (?) and Lion.

My daughter has an Ipod touch 3.1.3. I know it's old but she doesn't use it for anything except games and music. Does anyone know how or if I can update this device or is it just too old?
THanks!A first generation iPod touch can't be updated past 3.1.3. If it's a newer model, update it from iTunes on a computer, and if possible, the one it normally syncs with.
