Apple needs to think more

i know how to change the awnsers to my security questions, but in order to do that i need to know my current questions awnsers, iknow my password, and all my other account information, but not the awnsers to the security questions, know because of this i cannot cange the password for my account, the only reason i need to change my password, is because an unwanted person is making exessive purchases. HOw can i change the questions and rewrite the awnsers without having to put in my current awsners?

Go to this page:
https://appleid.apple.com/
and click on "Manage your account". Sign in and go to the Password and Security area. Right underneath the two fields for the security questions, there will be a link to "Send reset security info email to.." listing your rescue email address.

  • Apple needs to be more forthcoming on Aperture 1,1 slip.

    I'm committed to Aperture and firmly believe ALL digital photographers will benefit from viable competition between Aperture and Lightroom. These products are redefining the digital photography workflow to our ultimate benefit.
    While I'm disappointed that Aperture 1.1 has slipped, I'm more disappointed with how Apple announced the news. Surely the loyal Aperture supporters deserve more than a small paragraph -- almost a footnote really-- in a news release on availability of UB Final Cut Studio. We have, after all, toiled through the imperfections of 1.0.1 and watched with concern the massive Lightroom counter-offensive from the industry that surrounds and supports Adobe) .
    Seems to me that Apple could at least announce more details on the reason for the slip and the expected (not committed) release date -- in some timeframe a bit narrower than "April". An email to all registered users with the rationale and expectations would be even better.
    Apple, if you are listenting: I believe you have a better workflow concept and application than Lightroom. But right now your Aperture initiative is getting pounded by the Adobe PR machine. Time to be a little more proactive in speaking to your base and to your intended base -- before the battle for hearts and minds is over and Lightroom is the marketplace winner.
    (Of course all this may be mute if software update suddenly downloads 1.1 this weekend. But I don't expect that given the vagueness of the delay announcement. In fact, the vague, low key nature of the delay announcement COULD be construed as indicating that Apple is not even very confident of the April date)

    Dear LM,
    I heard Steve Jobs say on stage that Apple's pro apps will be Universal Binaries by March 2006, he said that, not me. This is after Apple released a pro app for Photographers that when used to print contact sheets or prints, does a really terrible (IMHO) job.
    Sure it is great at sorting, cataloguing, and loads of other great new ways to use your photographs, but if I want to create a top quality print, then hey I will have to wait and see if they fix it.
    So did Apple release Aperture knowing it had these weakness's, or did they not know pro photographers would require a better quality print engine? Either way it isn't what I expected from Apple, why release before the product is stable and fully functional.
    You are willing to give Apple the benefit of the doubt, and it seems you would wait for Apple however long it takes, for them to fix a product that shouldn't have been released when it was.
    So basically you are saying I can't trust Apple to release a product that is fit for purpose, and it is up to me to make sure they have delivered on their promises before I buy and spend money with them, now that really would be silly.
    Thanks for your reply, and all the best,

  • HT4910 I have 5 apple devices that are using the cloud.  Do i need to have ALL of the devices backing up to the cloud since they are all on the same USER LOGIN or do i just need to buy more space?

    I have multiple aple devices ( Ipad2, Ipad3, Iphone 4, Iphone 4s, Mac Mini, and Apple TV)  I am using the same apple login to sync to the cloud.  My question is do I need to sync ALL of them to the cloud or just one of the devices since I have them set up to sync anyway, or do i just need to buy more cloud space.  Thanks 

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You should sync all of them, if you want them all to share the same information.
    Syncing is not the same as backing up. I suggest you continue to back up your mobile devices to your computer, unless you have a good reason to do otherwise.

  • Will I need to put more memory on my MacBook Pro for Mavericks?

    I got my MacBook Pro in Februrary 2013 (so I think it's a mid 2012 model? Not sure). The memory for it is 4gb and 1600mhz. It came with OS 10.8, but I am now upgrading to Mavericks. My question... will I need to get more memory to fit Mavericks onto my computer? Or will what I have suffice? I don't have much stuff on my computer; I backed everything up before beginning the process (should be done in a few hours, and I can always pause it if necessary). The backup flashdrive holds 8gb and I'd say, in total, I have about 4.5gb worth of stuff (word documents, pictures, and videos) on my computer. How will that affect what Mavericks takes up (Mavericks says it needs 5.32gb of space)?

    venom --
    With all due respect, I find it hard to believe you ever worked at Apple.
    You can't spell. And you believe that Mavericks only needs 1 GB to install.  Totally incorrect.
    I can easily upgrade my computer with more memory, too, after all is said and done.
    Do that, you'll love it.

    Example-CD : "Tracy Chapman , Telling stories" is not able to import . I have more such negative cases. But in other cases it works fine and the sound is great.
    The firmware at the inbuild CD/DVD DS-6E2SH is the latest version.
    What can I do??

    hi b noir,
    I don't no about virtuel drives like you mententioned. In the mean time I have rebooted the XPS and run again the iTunes diagnostics. I think the back - chance in the registry was not ready to use.  Now there are another results. They are the same in case of a running CD or a not running CD. The difference in total is like before. It takes more time that iTunes reads the (bad) CD and at the there is no good sound. In both cases ( running or not running CD) iTunes diagnostics gives as a result :

  • After Effects CS6 error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback - any ideas please?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm running After Effects CS6 (11.0.4.2) on a MacBook Pro 2.8Ghz with 16GB RAM (Mac OS 10.9.4)
    As a test, I created a 3 and a half minute Sequence in Adobe Premiere CS6, and then imported this into After Effects CS6, and placed it on the AE timeline.
    This footage involves a couple of 1920x1080p footage movies, some psds and a large number of JPGs exported from two videos arranged as a sequence in two layers in Premiere, one on top of the other. So all in all for a Premiere / After Effects file I'd say it's reasonably heavy.
    I then did a RAM Preview with Multiprocessing switched off - the 3 and a half minute sequence loaded into RAM, taking about 1min 30seconds, and played back in realtime at 25fps. This worked fine with 3,4,5 and 6 GB RAM available to other applications in the Memory Preferences. All things considered I think this is quite good. I can make changes, reclick the RAM Preview icon and my changes load into RAM and it previews ok.
    My only 'complaint' is how long the RAM Preview takes to load up the whole thing.
    I've been reading up on Multiprocessing and decided to try this to see if I can speed up the time it takes my RAM Preview to load up.
    So I looked at some recommendations from Adobe and read information on various forums including this one.
    My settings in the Memory Preferences are currently
    • 6GB reserved for other applications
    • Reduce cache size when system is low on memory - unticked
    • After Effects Multiprocessing - ticked
    • Installed CPUs (processor cores) - 8
    • CPUs reserved for other applications - 6
    • RAM allocation per background CPU - 3GB
    • Actual CPUs that will be used - 2
    This combination takes about 25 seconds to load up my 3 and a half minute sequence which I thought was pretty amazing.
    I then pressed the stop button and then the play button - so now just playing the sequence briefly.
    And also added a new layer - into the timeline - just a simple shape.
    Then I tried a RAM Preview again.
    I found I could load up part of the sequence but not load the whole thing into RAM.
    I kept trying to get a RAM Preview and got this message
    "After Effects error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback" which seems to prevent RAM Preview from working.
    Eventually I quit and restarted After Effects and the problem went away temporarily and then came back when I tried again.
    I tried various changes to the Memory Preferences - trying 3GB available for other applications. This gave 13GB of my 16GB RAM to After Effects.
    This made it take slightly longer for the After Effects error to appear but it still appeared.
    I tried ticking Reduce Cache size in the Memory Prefs  - the After Effects error still appeared, so having read this is supposed to make the issue better I now leave it untucked, but as far as I can see ticked or untucked, it makes no difference, the problem remains.
    I've since tried -
    Making 2,3,4,5 and 6 CPUs available for other applications.
    Changing the Background RAM allocation per background CPU to 0.75GB, 1GB, 1.5GB, 2GB and 3GB
    Lots of combinations.
    But in the end, I always get the "After Effects error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback" error.
    It might take less or more time for the message to show up, depending on the combination of settings, but in the end I always got the same message appearing.
    And I notice that I can RAM Preview less and less of the timeline. i.e. it becomes more blue than it does green and will load in only a small section of the timeline as opposed to the whole thing.
    Reading further, I tried Edit > Purge > Image Cache and Edit > Purge > All Memory but still get the error message.
    I also tried ensuring there were no other applications running e.g. Safari or Chrome or Firefox. And certainly not Photoshop or Premiere etc.
    Reading even further, I tried two Memory management applications - 'Memory Clean' and 'Purge.'
    Neither has had any effect - the After Effects error still appears.
    Then I went back into the Memory and Multiprocessing Preferences.
    I unticked Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously. And now the RAM Preview loads the whole 3 and half minute sequence in entirety, taking about 1 and half minutes to do so. It's working as perfectly as if I'd just quit and re-opened the application.
    Then I went back into the Memory and Multiprocessing Preferences.
    I reticked Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously.
    The chose Edit > Purge > All
    And tried a RAM Preview again. It loaded up in 25 seconds, but then, as previously, the error message came.
    I tried Edit > Purge All - no effect.
    And I tried going into the Media and Disk Cache Preferences and clicked Empty Disk Cache - still the problem remains.
    I understand from my reading that After Effects CS6 11.0.2 was intended to fix this issue but I'm on 11.0.4 and as far as I can tell, I still have it - assuming it's the same thing.
    As far as I can see, not using Multiprocessing allows me to work without these errors but take a bit longer to load the RAM Preview.
    However I'd like to be able to use Multiprocessing as it seems it can potentially speeds things up quite a lot. I realise I could just not use it and AE would work, but I'd rather be able to make use of a feature of the software if possible, especially if it will speed things up and make optimum use of the my computer's hardware.
    I've downloaded a trial copy of After Effects CC 2014. I'm still testing it but as far as I can see the RAM Preview error appears in this version of AE as well, but can take bit longer to show up in my experience.
    Thanks everyone - if anyone has any thoughts or advice I'd appreciate hearing your opinions.
    Kind regards,
    John

    You need to have much more RAM reserved for other applications and more CPUs reserved for other applications. Your current settings are crippling your performance.

    After you have adjusted your settings according to the recommendations on those pages, restart your computer and try again.

  • HT201317 I have over 300 photos and 87 videos on my iphone 5.  each time I plug in for battery I get a message saying not enough space, need to buy more, so I did yesterday.  While attempting to do icloud storage again it said would take 83 hours.

When I recharge the battery I am geting the message to buy more storage to because not enough icloud space.  So I did yesterday.  That went ok, but the new message tells me it will take 83 hours.  Perplexed I went thru the settings and turned off apps and their data that I didn't realize where on.  Now I'm not sure if I needed to purchase more storage but it is still taking forever to complete the task.  Am I on the right track with this, meaning will take forever to store all my photos or what ?  The only other item I have on to store is contacts.  Can you assist me ?  Thanks - emoslim

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The first back up to iCloud may take some considerable time. Just how long isn't really possible to say without knowing how much is in your back up and your connection speed.
    What many people don't realise is that upload speeds are often significantly less than download speeds, so for example a user may have a download speed of 40 Mbps, but only 1 Mbps for uploading. As a rough guide it will take around 2 ¼ hours to upload 1 GB of data at 1 Mbps.

    I have a refurbished ipod touch 4th Gen.  I am having problems backing up because the cloud is almost full. I have tried to delete some apps/pics but it won't let me. Do I need to purchase more storage? Also, I accidentally erased all stored music. It is still on my personal computer and I need to know how to get it back on my ipod.

    You said " I accidentally erased all stored music.".
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Your iCloud backup does not include non-iTunes purchases like music from CDs

  • Spotify UI needs to be more condensed, not more like iTunes

    I would like the search results to show up as in the old UI-design. The new UI-design is horrible, beside the point that Spotify is starting to look more and more like iTunes for no good reason. It all comes down to wasted screen real estate. First of all the new search is wasting space on the sides while simultaneously truncating Artist name and album name. The new search also wastes roughly half of my screen before the search results come. This leads to unnecessary scrolling and I am using an 1920x1200 display!, this must be even more irritating on smaller resolution displays.I have outlined my thoughts in picture1 and picture2 So I guess my idea is that Spotify needs to think in terms of screen real estate. The primary goal needs to be to present as much information as possible in one screen. The old UI did a perfect job for this. There where clear lists and still album art to see what was going on. It also had its own distinct look and feel it felt genuine in some seance. Copying the look and feel of iTunes feels second class somehow, like Spotify desperately tries to be something else. But there is so much other aspects the needs to be fixed with Spotify then the look and feel of its UI. 

    I have to chime in on this one too. I'm a long time Spotify user and a graphic designer. The design was great before the recent update. There is so much wasted space now. One tthing I miss is the little blurb at the top of the page in Artist view that gave several lines  of the intro to the artist Biography.  Now I have to click on the full Biography link to read anything. While this might not seem like a big deal, having that blurb was really convenient and attention grabbing.  Now I have less of a desire to click the Biography link. Another grievance is the Top Tracks section of the Artist page. While it's great that they increased it from 5 to 10, the new mini album icons take up so much room! Plus I loved being able to star a track right from the Top Tracks list withouth having to hunt for it in the Albums list. Sure, the little icons help find the album quickly, but it's still annoying to scroll and hunt.  And what's with the side by side crap? Now I can't click on the top track and shift+click down through the next album to select all the songs, it skips the 9 other tracks. That should be fixed. And of course, color! This might sound like nitpicking, but it really makes a big deal. So many people spend hours on end on their computer each day. For those who have to stare at a screen for a long time, a bright interface is a bad idea.  Sure, it looks pretty, but that's not what it should be about. I want to hear music, and I want a power, intuitive tool to get the job done. If the color and design are going to bug people, guess what? People aren't going to interact with your product as much. They're going to do what I do now, set a long playlist, minimize the window, and forget about all the extra goodies you've worked so hard to pack into your software. Spotify's color and layout was spot on before. If you want to mess with the color, cool. But could we have some options to change it from the preferences pane without having to download and install add ons or skins? (wow that was long, sorry. there's my two cents)
