Apple ID Help - Please respond

I want to create my own Apple ID. I know how to set it all up, but I have a problem.
I've been using my parents' Apple ID as my own for quite a while, which is also used as my brother's (only my parents know the password). Whenever I use a gift card, it's also used by my brother. There are other issues as well. For instance, to sign into my parents' account to even post this on the forum, I need them to come and sign me in. Therefore, I'd like to create my own account.
However, I also would like to keep all of the songs, movies and apps I have purchased with my parents' Apple ID.
There lies the problem - if I create my own account, my iTunes will think that I've been taking those songs, movies and apps from my friends and I won't be able to sync my iPhone well. Pretty much the same thing as when you get songs from your friends' iTunes and plug in your phone to your iTunes.
Any suggestions on how I may be able to merge these accounts or any other solutions?

iCloud is a cloud service to sync iOS devices to one another and to your Mac or PC. It is also used to store iOS device backups. The only way to use iCloud is to set it up via an iOS device or via a Mac. You cannot set it up via a PC, and there is nothing you can use on it if you do not have an iOS device.
Sorry,

Macbook stuck on white screen with apple logo. help please

I have a macbook (black model) and while I was surfing on internet it is frozen. so I shut it down and restarted. When I restarted, it stuck on white screen with gray apple logo and seems like booting but nothing happens.
after that, I restarted again and put installation disc (leopard) without pressing any key and it opened normally. I backed up os with time machine but in one hour it is frozen again.
restarted again but this time it did not boot normally. so i tried booting from cd with c key, it opened installation screen. I have opened disk utility top repair disk, but when I click on disc image, repair / verify disk buttons are unavailable to click and S.M.A.R.T status is not supported.
After all, I tried to erase and install system several times, but after language section when I click agree to terms and conditions, mac freeze again.
So, I do not know what to do. Any help please?
Note: I already tried PRM and Safe Mode. (after safe mode it took me to installation screen again and nothing changed.)
Any help would be much appreciated!
Uptade: Also, opened system profiler and clicked on Serial-ATA, it seems loading but do not show any info. stucked again! help please

HI,
*"I have opened disk utility top repair disk, but when I click on disc image, repair / verify disk buttons are unavailable to click and S.M.A.R.T status is not supported."*
You need to select "MacintoshHD 10.5.8 not "disc image" in order to run Disk Utility and Verify and if necessary, Repair the disk.
That's why you are seeing this dialog.
*are unavailable to click and S.M.A.R.T status is not supported.*
Also, run the Apple Hardware Test.

Help please respond my iphone won't turn on

It's been charging all night last night and all day this morning and you know when it is in the process of turning on and the apple comes up, well every single time after the apple comes up it doesn't turn on normal, the apple just disappears and the entire screen goes black with just a loading circle in the center and it has been doing this for over 12 hours. I've tried to reboot it by holding down the circle button and the top button together and it turns of completely that way and then I turn it back on but it still goes to that black screen with the loading circle. Long story short, my phone won't turn on. Please respond if you know a way to fix this.

Here are steps to get DFU Mode: Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. (some turn off iPhone here, I do not) Hold both home and power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release power button, keep holding home button until iPhone recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually takes 10-20 seconds of holding the home button. If the iPhone screen is black (blank) the iPhone is in DFU Mode.

Auto refresh with apple script- help please

can any one help me please
i use multiple windows in safari at one time and can any one help me to refresh these pages (two windows) automatically using apple script.
also if I click manually to refresh these pages i get the following note"
"To open this page again, Safari must resend the form you completed to open the page the first time. This may cause the website to repeat actions it took the first time you sent the form."
and i have click send for this to happen
any help from you all will be appreciated as this will help me a lot with the present work that i am doing

Not sure about the "automatic" reload - Opera allows you to set a refresh time interval for each tab, but not Safari. Also, Safari Extender gives you a single click contextual menu option to "reload all tabs".
here is an AppleScript for a one-page auto reload. You might be able to alter the script to auto reload all open tabs.
Not sure about the "warning" message. Can you post a URL so I can have a look?

HT2534 there is no option of selecting "NONE" in payment method while creating apple ID. help please

the procedure that has explained at apple support for creating an apple ID without providing credit card information is invalid because when i followed this procedure i did not found the option to select "NONE" in payment method. Can anybody please help? As i don't have a credit card number then what is the other way to create an id to download free apps

What country are you in, and you followed the instructions on that page exactly ? I've just tried it and it worked ok for me for creating a new account e.g. using my computer's iTunes I logged out of my existing account and found a free app in the store and clicked on its free 'price' :
and then clicked on 'create Apple id' on the popup :
I then agreed to the terms, filled in my details, and got 'none' as an option on the payments screen :
Are they the steps that you used ?

Apple Account Help please!

After I updated to iOS6, I cannot update any apps because it asks for the password to an email that is not my apple account. I have tried going into the settings and changing the ID to mine, and it says its mine, but the other email still pops up when I try to update or download anything. Coincedently, the Email that its asking for is my brother's, but we don't share iTunes accounts. Could this be related to iCloud? Please help because I can't download or update anything! D=

I did. I went there and it says my account's email adress. I signed out of it and signed back in, but it still prompts me to sign into a different E-mail when attempting to update or download apps.

New SSL email settings for Apple Mail help please

I too received the Verizon email settings notification but when I turn on ssl and change the server ports for incoming and outgoing mail to the correct ports...I get a connection error... the mail server "incoming.verizon.net" is not responding. When I change back to the original settings, it connects just fine. Anybody else having issues with Apple Mail on a mobile device I.e. iPad, iPhone?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had the same problem setting up the new ports and SSL on an ipad. Restarting the ipad did not help. Turns out that the settings app needs to be turned off before incoming will work. For those that aren't familiar, double click the home button. All active apps will appear in a row across the bottom of the display. Press and hold any active app icon until they all start dancing and have a small red circle in the upper left corner with a minus sign in it. Release and then tap the app(s) you want to close.

Apple store help please

Ok thanks in advance to anyone that will help me...
I bought a mac book pro with many accesories from the online canadian apple store 2 weeks ago that came up to over 4 000 dollars...I have received it and im moore then happy with it.
But then now,ive seen many things on the Online US apple store that i realy cant find on the canadian apple store.I realy want those things(hard drive,mac cleaning kit...etc),all that get to another 300 us.
But its seems like i cant buy from US online apple store and deliver in canada,i ever called apple to ask whats up about it and he said(your in canada you buy from the canada apple store).
There is a way for me to buy those products and get apple to deliver it to me ?
Some brand might dont want to garanty their product for people living in canada,i understand but thats not the reason why they wouldnt be delivering those product in canada...
This is still a ground delivering,i mean im not in iraq there,im living just a couple of hours away from the lines between us and canada...
I wouldnt be buying for only 75 us there,i would be buying for over 300 us...So i think apple should still consider a free delivery and even if they wouldnt,i would be whilling to pay a lil moore to get the delivery done!
The costumer support from apple been pretty straight to the point even close of being rude from my point of view.Thats frustrating to see many many moore product available for us than canadian when we are super close of each other...
My final point is...
I even ordered a simple cap of not even 70 dollar value from a us store,they still have delivered pretty fast and for low price without any kind of problem...
Plus would apple just refused to make over an easy 300 us on me just because im in canada?

Baby boomer,
Look,are you an admin?no so can you please be quiet and leave the place to people that are realy willing to help other people?
As i said in the first place,i tried to find where i could post this other than in (using your mbp) but i didnt found any specific place for it.If this forum dont allow me to say stuff like i said then it should have been deleted days and days ago by the forum admin.
Honnestly i am realy annoyed by people like you,if you dont like my post then just dont read it.Its not your forum and i dont see how by posting this here i could be bothering you.
In short my question was:
How can i buy stuff that are for sale on the american online apple store that arent on the canadian one?
If not then there is any way for me to get those products in canada?
I dont see what is soo wrong in that guys...
And i still find it pretty weird that (as an exemple) iklear is for sale on the american online apple store but not on the canadian one...But if you go buy the iklear directly from the brand that make this product,you can easily ship it to canada...
Plus,as we can read on the apple store(iKlear is the only cleaner Recommended by Apple Tech Support and used by Apple Care).Im i the only one to think its unfair that costumer from canada that buy the so costfully mbp cant even get what is recommended by apple to clear it up?
Another funny thing,what is on the french canadian online apple store are not the same thing as on the english canadian apple store.
Im new in apple/mac world,im totaly sold to mac now and i love apple products.But i got to admit that this have realy disapointed me.
So in the end,to get what i wanted from the american online apple store,i had to order many things from the english canadian apple store and then look on google during many hours to find the best store that could sell/ship me the rest of the things that i couldnt get from apple.

Does anyone know why my Kaspersky Security programme has to be re-installed on a regular basis - it never happened with my windows computer - could it be to do with Apple security - help please

Does anyone know why I keep having to reinstall my Kaspersky security - could it be to do with being incompatible with apple security provided with my IMac desktop???? Help required please

This forum's veterans say "no anti-virus needed". I have not needed any despite some very accidental mis-spellings of IP adresses.
If any is felt necessary, ClamVax is free is the least intrusive of all options.
MacKeeper is effectively a virus itself to be avoided like the plague, along with anything from Zeobit.
Remove Kapersky, leave it off.

Installing IOS 8 on my iPad stuck on white screen with the apple. Help please?

I'm in the process of installing IOS 8 on my iPad 3, and it is still on the white screen with the apple. It has been on this screen for 24 hours now with no change. Can anyone help?

If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

Use of a NAS Drive, iTunes, Movies and Apple TV - Help please

I have an IMAC and i have a number of movies stored there within Itunes.
My Mac is operated in a Wireless Environment and when using Apple TV sometimes the IMAC cannot be located despite home sharing being on both devices and when it can be located and I watch a movie that is stored there sometimes the signal drops off which interrupts the movie.
The Apple TV is connected in a wired environment.
SOmeone has suggested that I should move my Itunes library music and movies to a NAS drive and connect that to my router which is hard wired,
Suggestions help and guidance welcomed

Update: I've found a work-around that lets me watch the movies, although it disables the iTunes Extras content (but it's not deleted).
While looking through the files for the Extras content, I noticed that for the two films I've had trouble with (X-Men Origins and Twilight), the Extras content was located in a separate folder from the actual mp4 movie files. For all my other movies that have the Extras content (and that were working), the content was in the folder with the movie. I tried moving the content into the movie folders, but that didn't help. Eventually, I removed the extras content from my iTunes library, without actually deleting it.
This caused the Apple TV to pick up the movies as if they were by themselves without the Extra features, and allows me to play them directly without going through the Extras menu. Something about the way that the Extras content was downloaded and associated with the movies seems to have gone wrong with those two movies, whereas for the others it worked correctly.
This is obviously not a long-term solution if you want to watch the Extra content, but at least this way the movie is streaming correctly on the ATV.
PS: for those two movies I mentioned above, the Extras content was listed separate from the movie itself in the iTunes library; whereas for the correctly functioning movies with Extras, the content was listed as another "track" under the movie.

I am unable to restore my iPad. iTunes keeps coming up with "unknown error (3004)" I have updated my Windows, tried searching for apple updates, but keep being told "cannot connect to apple server" HELP PLEASE

The whole problem started when I was syncing my iPad to update it. iTunes for some reason, put it into recovery mode. I have done all the hints and tips for the error code, checked my internet connection & tried to restore on another computer, but it required an update of iTunes and would not connect to Apple server either.

Here is the work around:
When and if you get the same error it will prompt you to select one of three choices:
You have to select the LAST choice ---either Cancel (if you do this you will keep going around in circles), Restore to YOUR settings (which is really a trick question), or Restore to Factory (sorry I can't recall exact language)
Then in itunes select your ipad under "Devices" if it doesn't automatically...(YOU CAN SKIP TO #5)
There will be 3 Boxes in the "Summary" screen for you to choose from:
VERSION: DO NOT SELECT RESTORE, BACK.. I selected "Back up to this computer", OPTIONS: click on which ever box you desire (I did #1 & #2). Then I selected "CONFIGURE UNIVERSAL ACCESS" and hit "OK".
In the bottom right hand corner you will see two choices, select "SYNC" and your ipad & computer should start the syncing process which could last a LONG time depending on how much data you have backed up.
Sorry if this doesn't work for you but it's working so far for me! Good luck...and Apple please don't do this again! So very confusing!

Apple Mail Help Please

Hello all. I also am having a mail issue. It was working fine last night and when I woke up this morning, it stopped working. I am running mail 2.0.5 on 10.4.5. I am running Tiger through the original disks and have roughly 28GB of storage left from my 160gb hdd. When I try to open up mail, I get a constant pinwheel and it does not time out. I have tried to remove the plist and launch it and I have also tried shift clicking on mail like previous discussions suggested. I hope this explanation is detailed enough. I am new to the Mac world and don't entirely know how to explain myself any better. Any help would be much appreciative. Thanks.

Let me paste in the instructions I give for removing the com.apple.mail.plist, and check to see if this is what you did? Also, do you have any email info set up in Internet Explorer preferences (even if not using IE)?
There are some other things to try, but I want to know that you followed the right procedure on the plist.
Also, did you mailboxes originate in Panther or earlier, and then converted when upgrading to Tiger?
Paste:
Quit Mail, and in the Finder open Home/Library and locate the Mail folder. Control-click over the Mail folder, and choose Duplicate -- then drag the resulting copy to the Desktop for temporary backup. Next, open Home/Library/Preferences and find the com.apple.mail.plist file and drag it to the desktop.
Relaunch Mail, which will open as though new, and when prompted to import anything DECLINE. Instead, re-enter your account info, and Mail will re-discover the account for this account, and all should be well.
Ask any needed questions, and keep us posted.
Ernie

Apple Script Help please

Pleasewrite an AppleScript for the following scenario: You need to ping the address10.32.8.151 every 5 seconds and report to the current logged in user via adialog box and email a set address when the IP has failed to respond to morethen 6 pings or 30 seconds. Upon failure of the 6 ping test please have thescript run a trace route and export it to a file named tracereport.txt on~/Desktop

This sounds remarkably like a homework assignment to me...
I'm guessing something like this covers most of your points.
property theAddress : "10.32.8.151"
global missedPings
on run
          set missedPings to 0 -- initialize the counter
end run
on idle
          try
                    do shell script "/sbin/ping -c 1 -t 1 " & theAddress
          on error
                    set missedPings to missedPings + 1
                    if missedPings = 6 then
networkDown()
                              tell me to quit
                    end if
          end try
          return 5
end idle
on networkDown()
          do shell script "/usr/sbin/traceroute " & theAddress & " &> " & quoted form of POSIX path of ((path to desktop as text) & "tracereport.txt") & " &"
          do shell script "/bin/echo 'Network missed 6 pings' | /usr/bin/mail -s 'Network down' [email protected]"
display alert "Oops. Network failure" giving up after 5
end networkDown
