Apple just for english...

I know that Apple wants to conquer the world, but, to do it, Apple will need to left thinking just in english. Dictionary, for example, comes just in English, currency converter in Calculator always supposes you want to convert from Dollar. Gadgets like flight tracker, just works in theory for american flights (in fact that gadget do not works for any flight) and other examples like that.
I am trying to hack Dictionary to connect to an online dictionary in other languages using an http address and calculator to have EURO initially seleccted instead of dollar. Does anybody knows how to do that?
thanks!

Apple and English. If you remember back to the first day that you received your computer you had to select a language, and you had to select whether you wanted to install other languages. The apple software, including the operating system, is fully multilingual, in fact most support pages can be viewed in other languages. If you wish to change the language of you computer, simply proceed up to the system preferences and select international. More information can be found on this website http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1615.html In addition the reason that the widgets that came with your computer do not work in other languages is that almost all of them were not authored by Apple. Instead, they were created by other companies and simply shipped with the operating system. For example, the flight tracker is designed and managed by flytecom. Hope that helps.

  • HT5622 When setting up an apple ID for a child in family sharing, the verification questions appear in French, even though the iPhone setting is in English...

    Possible bug?  Setting up apple id for child, under icloud, family sharing, and the 3 questions come up in Frnech, even though the phone is set to English and the remainder of screens have all been in English,
    Is this a bug or is there a way to display the questions in English please,
    thanks

    I agree.
    I found this 'bug' out the other day when getting ready for my new iPhone I was setting up my iPad with some new apps too and wanted to work with Find My iPhone.
    Here's the deal; my main AppleID is just a simple 'Username' not a '[email protected]' AppleID.
    I've had this since the need for AppleIDs were used for these forums and the iTunes Store, AppStore, etc.
    So it works fine and well with that stuff but not with find my iphone on my iPad as it wants a full email account, either a '@me.com' or a '[email protected]' AppleID which I did create but I think it was used as Job profile or something other along those lines (NOT used for a MobileMe account or .mac either).
    And I only have access to one email now and I dont feel comfortable having multiple email addresses that I dont check or have no use for, call my simple or naive but thats just how it goes.
    What I'd like to do is be able to use either AppleID for my Find My iPhone app and everything else.
    And I think thats a good point, '@me.com's for all. make it a whole lot easier in my opinion.
    merge all the apple accounts you created into a MobileMe, simplifies the situation and makes it easier connect to all Apple Services.
    My itunes account, apple.com store account, appstore account, main AppleID for the past couple years it "Maxwell Stanley" but it does NOT work with Find My iPhone. So i created [email protected] (example.com is in place of my true email domain for privacy reasons) and that doesnt work as it statse it Cannot Be used.
    My 'Maxwell Stanley" Apple ID's email associated with it was [email protected] i tried changing it to [email protected] but still doesnt recognize that as an AppleID even though its associated with "Maxwell Stanley".
    I event ried to use the SAME email that is associated with my 2nd AppleID '[email protected]' with the appleid 'Maxwell Stanley' and no dice.
    running out of options it seems.
    Any idea on the best solution?
    Thank you!

  • How do I change an Apple ID just for one device, an iPod Touch?

    Hello, all...I recently purchased my nephew (I'm his guardian and am raising him) a brand new iPod Touch for his 13th birthday.  I activated the device using my Apple ID (which I also use for my iMac, iPhone and Macbook Air).  I'm thinking now about changing his iPod over to a different Apple ID to keep my iCloud "pure" (for lack of a better word), with just my stuff on it, and because his iPod is mysteriously picking up text messages to me that are supposed to go to (and which still do go to) my iPhone. Is it possible to change the Apple ID for just that one device, the iPod and, if so, how does one do that?  I have several e-mail accounts/addresses that I could use instead of the one I use for my current Apple ID.  I'm technology-challenged in the worst way, so your help/advice is greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    CHANGE ID
    The ID is used in the following locations and you  have to change them.
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    Settings>iCloud
    and Settings>iTunes and App store
    You  have to sign out of ID (for iCloud you delete the iCloud account from the iPod) and sign in with other ID.
    Note the following are resolved if you  use Family Sharing (iOS 8 and later):
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
    If the iPod has iOS 7 or later then you have the enter the password for Apple ID presently sign in Settings>iCloud.
    Also, a Restriction can be set (Settings>General>Restrictions) the prevents changing accounts

  • Just got 4 new iPads, Do I need separate Apple IDs for each one?

    Right now I have 3 iPods and 2 iPhones connected to my PC using 1 Apple ID.
    Question: I just purchased 4 new iPads. One of the iPads is for me and the 3 others are for my children. Should I setup the 4 new iPads under my existing Apple ID or should set up a new Apple ID for EACH of the new iPads?

    It would be a good idea to set up separate apple ID's for each. One reason is just to avoid any confusion over anything such as icloud synchronisation. Spending on your credit card so maybe purchase gift cards for their accounts so they have some money to spend on apps. It could cause a few problems mainly due to icloud, photos syncing, password synchonisation and it only takes a few minutes to set up an account. If you don't want to put a credit card on their accounts you can set it up without an account but i'd suggest using a computer to set it up as in my experience i couldnt set up an account without a card on an iphone or ipad etc.
    you could put your card on their ipads and enforce a restriction on buying apps where you would need to enter a code to authorise it.
    Hope it helps

  • HT2688 I have an Apple Id for my Itunes, and my children have a different Apple ID for theirs.  To home share, do I need to change one of the IDs for ITunes, or can we simply have a common Apple ID just for home sharing?  Thanks.

    I think the title says it all.  We have different Apple IDs on two computers for two users.  To home share, is it necessary to change one of the Apple IDs to match the other, or can this be done just for purposes of home sharing -- i.e., select one Apple ID as the common ID just for purposes of home sharing.
    Thanks,
    Eric

    Personally, I'd keep it simple and keep the same one.

  • You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 90 days.

    So i signed into my other itunes account to download some purchase i had made on that account, went to sign back into my new account and download purchases i had made on my iphone adn it tells me "You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 90 days.". This is a shared family computer with multiple Apple IDs being used on it. Not cool apple. This needs to be figured out. Not acceptable for families that have more than one apple ID to have to wait 3 months to download old purchases. Get real. Any way i can 'override' this?

  • Can't play my library: "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID...you can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days.  You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 88 days." Got a fix?

    Since my daughter burned a CD from my computer using our shared libraries I cannot play my library.  This pops up:  "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID.  You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 88 days."  I can get as far as viewing my library but listening is denied by this pop-up.  Can anyone help, please?   I just noticed my (this) computer is not showing as registered to my account. Hmmm....a clue perhaps?

    Do you have a question?

  • You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 5 days.

    I only have 1 Apple ID.  I turned off iTunes Match on my iMac, and now I cannot turn it back on.  I get this error when I try to just turn iTunes Match back on, on the same computer, with the same Apple ID that I used orginially to subscribe to iTunes Match:
    This computer is already associated with an Apple ID.
    You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 5 days.
    I checked for iTunes updates.  None are available since I am using the latest.
    I stopped/started iTunes.  I rebooted the iMac.
    NOTHING HELPS!!!!!!!!
    I have a Mac Mini and I use the same Apple ID on iTunes there.  I was able to turn iTunes Match off and back on with no trouble at all but my iMac refuses to allow me to turn on iTunes Match.
    Now what do I do?

    Unless you really only have one AppleID that you use with the iTunes Store there's really nothing you can do. In the case of having only one AppleID you should contact iTunes Store support, since that would be a server-side problem.

  • HT4913 iTunes Match:You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 85 days. What can I do?

    I'm subscribed to iTunes Match but when I turn it on I get this message:You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 85 days. What can I do?

    I had this happen back in December/January. I sold my MBP that I used to subscribe to iTunes Match back in December. In January, I bought a used MB and tried to use iTunes Match on it. I was told I had to wait nearly two months to use it on the new computer. I waited and was finally able to use it in the new computer.\
    Sadly, this has more to do with the content providers (Record lables / movie studios) than it has to do with Apple impsoing the restrictions.

  • I have ad Apple ID on my iPad , when I use the apple on my iPhone for the first time, I put in my Apple ID for the iPad, didn't work. Need to create a new one. Why? How can I just use my iPad ID on my iPhone?

    Hi kamfong,
    Went to Settings where?
    If you want to use your exisiting Apple ID on your iPad, you need to:
    1.     Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign out the new ID, and then sign on the old one
    2.     Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the iCloud account, and the sign back onto iCloud using the old ID
    You still have not indindated why you are saying that using your old ID originally "didn't work". What do you mean by that? Did you get some sort of error when you tried to sign on with your exisiting Apple ID?
    Cheers,

    Yes, you can use your Apple ID with any Apple product or service worldwide, no matter the language or country, but your account can only be in one iTunes Store country at a time.

  • I have a separate apple id for itunes and imessenger and facetime can i merge both and just use one?

    I created a yahoo apple id as my main account on my macbook pro but then after a year it had a problem with signing in into imessenger and facetime on both my iphone and ipad so i read a solution from a thread that i need to create another id but it will be a different one and will only be used for my imessenger and facetime. When I tried associating my gmail (one i used for imessenger & facetime), I can't add it on my yahoo apple id account as it is an alternative email add. I just want to use one apple id for everything (icloud, itunes, imessenger and facetime) is there a way to do this? help me please.... thanks!

  • I have 3 IPOD touches.  I just got a new one and set up an apple id for it.  When i go to the store, it brings up an old apple id to one of the other ipods.  Why isnt it bringing up the id i gave to the ipod?

    I have 3 ipod touches.  Just got a new one and set up an apple id for it.  But when i use the ipod to go to store to make a purchace.  It tells me to sign in, and brings up an Apple ID and ask for password.  the problem is the Apple ID its bringing up is for my other Ipods.  How do i change it to bring up my id i set up with That ipod.  I never once put that id into the current ipod.  Like i dont even know how it got there.

    This is what yo have to do:
    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign in with the other account.
    That is the only place.
    Try signing out. Then
    Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Then sign back in.

  • I just recently purchased a mini iPad for my child. It was set up in the Apple store with my Apple id. I now want to create an Apple id for my child and switch it over, how can I go about that. I already downloaded some of the games from my account.

    With a new account, you'll need to rebuy the games.
    Each user should have their own icloud account, otherwise they end up getting the same emails, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc. - usually not what you want.  But if all have been sharing the same itunes ID, keep it that way, you can have different IDs for itunes and icloud.
    If you already have another icloud account, and want to set it up on a device, then go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud.  Then enter the account ID that you want to use.
    To create a new icloud account, go to
