Apple TV does not recognize my Apple ID and password. How do I authorize new apple tv?

Just purchased Apple TV and trying to use it. It will not recognize my Apple ID or Password. Do I need to authorize the Apple TV and how do I do that?

Hi goskii77,
If you are having issues setting up your new Apple TV with your Apple ID, you may want to double check that the info is current and correct by logging into "Manage my Apple ID" as outlined on this page:
Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5621
If everything is confirmed as correct and working but your Apple TV still won't accept your Apple ID, you may want to try restoring it to factory settings:

TS3276 I receive a pop up from ICal saying the server does not recognize me user name and password. This started yesterday. I have no problems with receiving or sending emails through Mail

I receive a pop-up from ICal saying the server does not recognize my user name and password for my me.com email address. This started yesterday and occurs about every 5 minutes or so. There are no problems with receiving or sending email through Mail. I did change me email password several days ago but have no problems sending/receiving since then.

I fixed the problem. I opened Preferences in ICal and entered my new password. No more pop-ups

Had my XP o/s replaced and now unable to sync with Firefox Favorites on the web - does not recognize my account name and password.

I am after having my XP operating system refreshed trying to regain access to numerous favorite bookmarks held on the internet server(s). I have tried sync'ing via the Firefox mechanism but it does not recognize my account name or password. It is possible I used another software other than Mozilla's to back up my Favorites in bookmarks. However, baring that, I cannot access all the data in order to reconnect to it.

'''''"... But I have my laptop next to me, signed in to sync ..."'''''
Which version of Firefox?
Firefox 29 brought a new version of Sync ''[a year ago]'', so if you are using an older version of Firefox on that laptop, see this KB article - [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]
You'll need to update Firefox on that Laptop to continue using Sync on it after updating your Sync account.

My MacBook Pro, running 10.7.3, does not recognize when my iPhone and iPad are on the same network, thus it does not synch. Any ideas?

Try the basics first:
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
Disconnect & reconnect your modem. unplug it for about 10 seconds. Plug it back in. Do the same for Apple’s routers. Wait for everything to reboot.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

Hello nkrlw,
It may be that AutoFill is disabled in Safari, or that Private Browsing is on.
Go to Settings > Safari > Passwords & AutoFill and make sure that Names and Passwords is on.
Go to your Home screen and open Safari. If Safari is black or dark instead of white or gray, Private Browsing is on. Safari doesn't save account names and passwords when Private Browsing is on. To turn off Private Browsing:
On iPad, tap the the plus icon in the upper-right corner of the Safari page, then tap Private in the lower-left corner.
On iPhone and iPod touch, tap in the lower-right corner of the Safari page, then tap Private in the lower-left corner.

I forgot my password and my birthday and email does not recognize. please help me, it happen when I buy my new iphone5s and change the Apple ID of my old iPhone 4.

i have a new iPhone 5s, it does not recognize my password, when I try to restore it my birthday and email does not recognize, it only happen when I change my old iPhone 4 and change the Apple ID of it. please help me, all my phone now does not recognize my password.

To change to iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID then sign in with the new ID. If you don't know the password for the old ID, and if the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

When I try to click on a download link for a .pdf file Firefox does not recognize the MIME type and tries to download the file as "index.php"

When visiting a site I frequent I tried to download a linked .pdf file. Previously I've used Firefox 7.0.1 to download the link with no problem. Using Firefox 8 however I the browser does not recognize the .pdf link's mime type. Instead of recognizing the download link as a .pdf file Firefox 8 tries to download it as "index.php". Firefox 8 does this with .doc files and .txt files as well. When I downgrade to 7.0.1 again the problem disappears.

Hi hakmacpace,
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
You could also try [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles?s=create+a+new+profile&r=2&e=es&as=s#w_creating-a-profile Creating a new profile].
Hopefully this helps!

The optical drive does not recognize my cd's and it is new!

hi, i'm just needing some help. My macbook pro has already 3 month since i bought it(new), and now, i want to install some softwares by cd, it doesn't read it, eighter eat the cd, i have to pull all inside, it does not work... i dnt have time 2 go 2 apple support, if there's anything i can do by myself?

Since you've a new computer, I would just take it back to the Apple Store - with discs in hand - and show them the problems you're experiencing. No need to try any kind of 'fixes' yourself. Just take it back to Apple and have them deal with it.

Safari does not recognize flash plug-in and will not play flash video

I use Safari as my go-to browser for web sites that would otherwise require me to turn off my several ad-block/flash-block plugIns for Firefox. I do have it set to ask for permission ('Trust this site?') for every time I use flash on a new site (since I reset Safari regularly and clear all cookies every time I close it this means every time, every site, it asks). New problem started sometime in the past week: Safari is returning a 'download flash' icon on some videos on some web sites--but on others it correctly goes through the 'trust this site to use flash?' routine and when I click 'trust now' it plays the video normally. Trying to figure out if this is a Safari problem, flash problem, or web site problem. How can Safari both recognize that flash is being asked for (that's why it shows me the 'download flash now' icon, right?) and not recognize that it has flash installed?
Safari Version 7.0.4 (9537.76.4)

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
If the warning persists, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Step 6
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 7
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 8
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 9
Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

My program does not recognize my DVD drive and says, " No burner available". How do I fix this? It worked until one month ago

I have an HP Computer., approximately one year old. Since I bought the program,( about 8 months ago) it had worked correctly, but last month, I could not save projects to DVD because program said, " No burner detected" . Welcome any help as I am trying to convert Family VHS tapes to DVD.

What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
Assuming for now you are aiming at DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc and not AVCHD on DVD disc.
We can try at least 3 different approaches to restore Premiere Elements burner location recognition for your DVD/CD burner (assumed not Blu-ray DVD burner).
For now, I am going to assume Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
1. Delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary, the whole 12.0 Folder in which it exists.
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
12.0
and in the 12.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then you delete the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited.
2. Deactivate the program from within the opened project - in version 12, Expert workspace Help Menu/Sign Out. Then uninstall the program via the usual Control Panel route. Next do a ccleaner run through (regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts) to get rid of leftovers from incomplete uninstalls and reinstalls.
CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
Finally reinstall the program with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
3. Refresh the DVD drivers.
CD, DVD drive not recognized after Adobe application install | Windows
We will be watching for your results.
Thanks.

Add On...at the onset, please assure that the issue still exists with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.

My FCP X does not recognize my external drive and extra internal drive

I recently had to reinstall FCP X because I found a "?" in my dock when I wanted to work on a project. The app had also disappeared from the Applications file. I had taken a class at the technical college and last opened the program in the lab at school a week earlier. I had been woirking on the project which I had put on my external 3 gb drive. Now, after reinstalling FCP X, my extra internal hard drive and my external drive does not show as an option when I open the program. I cannot access my projects in the Project Browser. I had made four backups, or versions, so I continue to work on the video. Nothing show in the Project Browser. I would like to get to video which I had worked on for some time. The program had work well all semester - until now. Bummer!

It may be that the DVD drive is not getting enough electrical power. Try a powered hub, one that has a separate connection to an AC outlet.
Ciao.

Firefox 7.0.1 does not remember/fill in username and password in Mac version although on Windows it works, so it's not the website preventing password being saved. what is up and how can this be fixed ?

There are several sites where I now have to type in my username and password each time I return, such as turnitin.com. (I'm a teacher and use this for grading). Friefox used to be able to remember this for that site and it still works at my office where I have a windows machine. Not working on my Mac OS 10.6.8 and it is really annoying to have to retype every single time; it's not a financial site or anything so why can't the Firefox browser remember and re enter my info?
And no, turnitin does not currently support Firefox 7 but it is only up to firefox 4 and up until now firefox at least worked to remember passwords.
I looked at http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Username%20and%20password%20not%20remembered and I have checked all the recommended browser settings and am not set to private browsing; the sites where this happens are not set in exceptions to remembering, and they are not set to be cleared automatically
So, what's up and why doesn't Firefox remember passwords and usernames any longer?

Now up to Firefox 8 and the problem persists. Cannot go to the www.turnitin.com page and login as I used to do -- Firefox does not remember my username or password.
Still works on Windows, and with other browsers... It would be great if a fix is available.

Norton Manage Logins does not automatically enter user ids and passwords

I have Norton 360 v. 4.3 installed and one of the features is Manage Log ins. When you go to a web page it automatically puts in the user id and password to log into the website. When I upgraded to Firefox 4.0 this feature does not work any more. I have searched the help database and can't find a solution. Does anyone know how to activate this feature? Thanks.

Norton have indicated they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
