Apple ID security issues -
Account security issues almost always require you to speak directly to an Apple representative to securely establish your identity as the account holder. You can set it up so that Apple calls you, either immediately or at a time convenient to you.
1. Go to www.apple.com/support
2. Choose Contact Support and click Contact Us
3. Choose Other Apple ID Topics and choose the appropriate topic for your issue
4. Follow the onscreen instructions

I am trying to burn a music cd on iTunes, but I am getting an error that reads that the cd burner is being used by another application. I know that I am not using the cd burner for anything else. I have restarted the Mac and nothing. Any ideas?
One other thread said it was fixed by waiting till prompted by iTunes to insert the blank disk, instead of putting it in first. Does that work? Found a number of hits on this Googling.

I am trying to download an app that needs 501 MB and my iPod has over 1 GB, but the App Store says that I do not have enough memory left.
Do you have a question?
That sounds right.
Most apps require more than double the size of the app available in order for installation.

I have not used my CS3 version for about 3-4 years. I tried to use it recently and I get a message about activation. Called the phone number recommended but no longer in use. How do I start using MY version I paid for? Using PC
Can you activate CS3. If you lost your serial you can retrieve it from Adobe.com. Sign in at Adobe.com the use this link https://www.adobe.com/account/my-products-services.html When your Adobe Product list is displayed click on your CS3 product your serial number should be displayed.

I have been using Photoshop and Lightroom for years, purchasing upgrades. If I join CC do I have to pay the same as someone new to PS and Lightroom?
Adobe usually offers discounts on the full Creative Cloud (all apps) for customers with CS3 or later. However the Photography plan (Photoshop and LR) Is $9.99 pm (or local currency) and the initial benefits for CS customers who took what was then called The Photography Program (larger cloud storage) has now ended.

After not using my macbook pro for 10 days, my wireless mouse no longer works. I had the computer turned off. I've changed the batteries, gone to universal preferences, mouse preferences but the computer won't recognize the mouse. Any suggestions?
Got it. Thanks. I deleted the mouse (not an apple, but a logitech which has worked fine for me) and then re-discovered it and it's working. Appreciate the advice.

How do I put an external display to sleep when I am using my MacBook Air for presentation?
How do I put an external display to sleep when I am using my MacBook Air for presentation? I do not want to go to the projector just to turn it off and turn on again after a while? Is there a keyboard shortcut for that?
I want to be able to sleep the external display and at the same time do things in the MacBook.( This feature is useful for me so that I can prepare some things and so that my audience will not see what I am about to show them.)
Is there a feature for Mountain Lion? -

App in my app store updates that i did not purchase or download. ?
PLEASE HELP
i went into my app store (macbook) and proceded to update my updates. and i have found an app that i have never downloaded or purchased
i go into this app in the store and it shoes i do not have it (the price is still on the purchase label). when i press update, there is a very foreign email request and i have never had anyone else log into my computer, nor my itunes account.
my question is how do i get this app out of my updates?You installed a hacked application, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different application, downloaded from another account. You need to identify and remove the hacked application.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any applications were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you know of, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
If any of the items listed in the search window are not listed among your purchases in the App Store, move them to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash. -
