AppStore won't let me 'accept' iPhoto. I use my Apple ID and nothing happens. So confused!
I am at a complete loss. I was at the mac store today in Covent Garden. I have a MacBook pro and was telling the guy at the genius bar that my computer is really slow and just not working in some odd ways. He checks my hard drive and tells me my computer is fine. He backs up all my data onto the drive I brought with me then he re-installs my operating system. Yesterday I had Maverick (i had downloaded it myself) but he installed Mountain Lion telling me that he didn't want to 'overload' my mac (surely this is a sign that I need a new laptop if we can't install the latest operating system?!)
Anyway, I tell him I don't want to lose my applications so he downloads iLife (including iPHoto) onto my new operating system. We didn't transfer over my photos while I was in the store because it would take hours. So I get home, go to open iPhoto and it won't work!!!
I see that one can no longer download iPhoto off the web but apple insists you go to the AppStore. So I go to the AppStore and the only option that comes up for me is to 'accept' iPhoto. So I click 'accept' and enter my Apple ID (the same ID I've now had for years) and nothing happens. It's like groundhog day. I couldn't buy iPhoto if I wanted to because it won't let me past the 'accept' page.
Can anyone help?
Maybe this will explain it.

My play lists and songs on iTunes and on my iPhone won't play. They are light grey instead of black and nothing happens when I click on the songs. All of the songs were either from CD's or from iTunes that I purchased. I have home sharing turned on. This is a new issue. It used to work fine. I tried restarting my iPhone and syncing with iTunes. Neither worked. Please help!
Try delete those songs using iTunes by de-selecting and sync. After that mark those songs and sync again.

I've been trying to update my Iphoto, Imovie and my Moutain Lion software to 10.8 for months. I keep getting a message to log into you account you purchase it with. THe software came with my computer therefore where do I go from here bc it will not update?
Use the Support link on the App Store. http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/
As cbs20 alludes, if you didn't buy it new, those apps are registered with the previous owner. If you are the original owner, the support people should be able to help. -
Apple you massive cults. I upgraded to yosemite now it won't let me ubgrade iphoto because 'I did not buy it'- sort it out
Try each of these in order until one works:
Open App Store and click on your Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept them, then do so.
Put the old ones into the Trash, temporarily. Open App Store and see if you can download them for free from their individual product pages. If asked to buy them, see the next option.
Click here, contact Apple, and wait for a response.
You will have to purchase them using your Apple ID. -
I plugged my phone in and I'm trying to upload photos like I usually do but iPhoto is saying "Please wait for import to complete". It won't let me close iPhoto or anything. Help please!

Facebook won't let me select iPhoto pic's to upload
Facebook won't let me select iPhoto pic's to upload (see below), the option to select iPhoto is grayed out. Is there a way of doing this? Thanks for your help
That is because you are not doing it correctly - you never directly access teh contents of the iPhoto library - you use the media browser - see the user tip on accessing your files in iPhoto for details on the many correct ways to access yoru photos

AppStore won't let me get apps
AppStore won't let me get games even though I made a Apple ID and verified it
You need to register a credit card or redeem an iTunes Gift card before you can download apps - even free once.

I just accepted 2 friends on find my friends but now it won't let me accept, decline, or send out invites... The buttons are there but not like "lit up" to press.. Does anyone else have this problem? Anyone have a solution?
Do you have any restrictions for purchasing apps on the phone? Settings > General > Restrictions. If you have a Mac computer or another Apple device can you purchase things in the App Store using the same Apple ID on something else?

If someone can please help me I am a new user to this phone and Verizon. I got to so that I could call my son and mom long distance, but it won't let me make the call. It is activated and has the 45 dollar plan on it. I really want it to work and not be a waste of money.
I'm sorry you're having troubles making calls, cnasam. From the phone, please try dialing *228 [send], option 1 to program. When completed, restart phone. If this doesn't work, please reach out to PrePay directly at 888-294-6804 and select options 4,6,4 for prompt service.

My iPhone and iPad are on my moms icloud account and i just got a macbook air and i want all my devices on my own iCloud account - i went to all of my settings and it won't let me change my iCloud account on my phone and iPad. can i change this?
You will have to do more than simply changing settings in your moms account. To set up everything in your own account, go to Settings > iCloud > scroll down and press sign out. From this, check out this link for how to setup iCloud on all of your devices after making a new icloud account on your phone: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Before you set that up, you will have to make a new iCould account which you can simply do after you sign out of your mom's account on your devices.
Hope I can help! -
How do I delete terminal from my dock, it won't let me open a download. What is terminal and how did I get it on my dock?
Just drag it off the Dock and it will go "poof"
Look at the Options... when you click on it. Unless it got set to stay there, something you did or an app did caused it to be open.
Are there any windows open attached to it?
Is it set to "open on login"?
I use it but I do not have it or keep it on my Dock. It is found in /Applications/Utilities and installers may need to use it. -
My phone constantly turns it self on and off, it won't let my messages load I carnt text or receive and texts or calls, I have updated the new iso7, can anyone help?
Hello Bricky2013,
The following article has some useful tips that can help stabilize your iPhone.
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

Ok look these solutions are super complicated and I tried all of them and they don't work I just wanna buy a song ok just one song and it won't let me cause I don't have my questions and a answer from a robot is not going to help me so a real person plz
There are no robots here. Everyone here is a "real person", a user just like you. How about telling us what the problem is that you are experiencing when you try to buy a song? If you mean that you have forgotten your security questions, go to:
https://appleid.apple.com/
Click "Manage My Account", sign in, and go to the Password and Security section. If you've forgotten your answers, there should be a link just under the security questions fields where you can have a reset email sent to your Rescue email address. If the link for the email doesn't appear, as can happen if you didn't set a rescue email address or (apparently) have a .Mac email address, see the user tip created by Kappy, another user here, on how to proceed:

Trying to print a document from Pages, when I go to print it won't let me select the document. It is grey and I can't click it. What should I do?
I'm not clear on how you're trying to print. When you select Print from the file menu in Pages the current document is already selected. Perhaps you need to show the details in the print dialog. The first screenshot is from Mountain Lion the second from an earlier OS where you click the blue down-facing triangle button (sorry, I can't remember which one).
