  • I am having a hard time with my Apple ID why can't I just select one password and it works for all my "Apple" appliances?

    Why can't I used only one password to log in on my Apple computer, IPad ,ITunes and IPod. I've tried to log in and I get a wrong password and after two times trying I need to reset my password and it's gets confusing for me, plz if anyone can assist me I'll be thankful I'm new to Apple and it's great but at times I get confused.......Thank You, Asan

    You can of course use the same Apple ID on all your Apple devices.  But, each time you're resetting your ID, you're causing yourself a 90 day issue.  At this point, contact Apple for assistance.  If you're in the US, you can call 1-800-MYAPPLE

  • HT5262 I am nearly out of iCloud storage but I have over 3 gb on my iPad. I just bought a game that requires 1.5 gb but will not download to my iPad because it says that there's not enough storage in the cloud. Why can't I just download the game to my iPa

    That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

  • Every time I try to download a free app, I'm asked for cc info. There is a iTunes card with $60 credit, why can't I just use that?

  • Is there any iPhone midi controller that can control logic just by one usb

    is there any iPhone midi controller that can control logic just by one usb line to the mac?
    Free ones would be the best!
    Thanks!

    If you have a Mac Pro and an iPhone, surely you can afford a router? It's about the same price a a decent meal for two.

  • HT5312 This whole security question crap is a hassle. If I wanted to talk to someone one the phone to have some dumb questions reset, I would call them. Why can't they just send it in my dang e-mail. So forget it. I'll just forego the purchase.

    Then call iTunes Support and get them reset:

    If you have another iOS device or another SMS-capable device, you can use this method:

    Read the entire article carefully to see if this method would be a preferable approach for you.

  • Why can't I just use my debit card for adding my child to family share?!

    I want to use my child on family share but can't because I don't need or want a credit card, my bank has fraud protection, who actually just called me about fraud because I purchased the newest iPhone! I don't like credit cards. Why can't I just use my debit card as usual? Kids can get credit cards just as easily as they can debit cards! This is ridiculous. Why isn't there another option to verify I am the parent?! I am so beyond angry right now. Like I am being punished for not owning a credit card!! Otherwise there will be another way to do this. A person should have the freedom to use their chosen form of payment without missing out on all the options available. Honestly even if I wanted a credit card I haven't enough credit because of past mistakes. So this is not making me happy at all.

    Mad Parent,
    I feel your pain. We refuse to have credit cards, too; yet it's required in order to create a child's apple id. I will most definitely be leaving feedback with Apple. This is absolutely ridiculous that we can't just use our debit cards! Mine is a VISA. I use it to make CREDIT CARD transactions everywhere else, why not be able to use it the same way here!?
    I just had to restore my sons phone because he forgot his 4-digit password and got it disabled. I didn't have it already on my itunes so my only option was to restore it. I wanted to create his own apple id so he didn't have to keep using mine. Because every time he downloads a new game it automatically ends up on MY device as well, not just his. Anyway, he needs his own apple id. But, apparently, that won't be happening until Apple gets their heads out of their butts and figures out how to serve ALL of their customers!
    Signed,
    Equally Mad Parent

  • Why can't I just right click on the thumbnails and set the websites I want?

    I love the thumbnail idea, but why can't I just right click on the thumbnails and set the websites I want?
    Why do i have to wait for a recent one to come up?
    Of the 9 available, I would like to set 6 to website i can input by right clicking it and leave the rest for the recently visited.
    I ho[e you include that feature in your next update.
    Thank you
    P.S. 2 more issues
    1. Firefox is the only browser that always give me trouble attaching files in gmail. I still use firefox for all browsing but for mail attachments, I use others. And yes, I have done the "Clear cookies, reset, reinstall, clear cache, etc etc etc... none worked for more than a few days. no such problem with other browsers.
    2. Your new updated search bar (Top right hand corner) is nice but can be very irritating for the following reason:
    I like to highlight - copy (a word or phrase) - and paste it in the search bar. was fine with the older version, but now as soon as I right click to past, the menu pops up for me to select a search engine. Very irritating since I have yet to paste the copied word or phrase. I rather paste it and then have the option to click on the drop down menu. If you see this as not something masses would want, please place an option in setting for us to stop the suggestion for search engines coming up automatically when we try to right click in the side search bar to paste.

    You can change the order of the boxes on the about:newtab page and drag an item to a different tile to pin it to that position or you can remove a website by clicking the close X to block that URL.
    You can drag a bookmark or history item and drop them in a tile on the about:newtab page to pin them and have your own favorites sites showing.
    Changes made manually on the about:newtab page are stored in prefs that you can find on the about:config page.
    *browser.newtabpage.pinned stores websites that you have pinned to a tile.
    *browser.newtabpage.blocked stores websites that you have removed by clicking the X button in a tile.
    So you can reset those prefs via the right-click context menu to reset changes made to the about:newtab page.

  • Why can't I just download the old iPod app? The new music app offers NO podcast support?

    I just downloaded and installed os5, and now all of my podcasts are gone (everything else is fine), and there is no program that will play them when I download them again.
    What is going on? Why can't I just go get the old iPod app, it worked fine.

    Mine plays them fine ... But it did move the Podcast button off the main page. Click on "More" and then you should see them. You might want to make sure that iTunes is still syncing podcasts to your phone.
    If you click "edit" (top left) you can move it back to the bottom row.

  • Why can't I just speak to somebody in Sales? Why don't Adobe have a sales number on their site?

    Why can't I just speak to somebody in Sales? Why don't Adobe have a sales number on their site?

    How about (menu>about Adobe>contact us): Contact | Adobe
    There is a "Purchase by phone" section, and a "Enterprise customers" section.

  • HT1449 Why can't I just move the entire iTunes folder?

    In reference to the linked article above, why can't I just move the entire iTunes folder and create an alias where it used to be ~/Music/iTunes instead of that tedious process?

    You can do that. You can copy the entire Music folder and create an alias for where it normally belongs. However, OS X will not allow you to delete the entire Music folder without a little extra work:
    Copy the /Home/Music/ folder to the desired new location. Create an alias to the new location and put the alias in the /Home/ folder. You will now have a "Music" and a "Music alias" in your /Home/ folder. Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. At the prompt enter:
    sudo rm -rf ~/Music
    Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted (it will not be echoed) then press RETURN again. The old Music folder should disappear. Now rename the "Music alias" folder to "Music".

  • HT5312 If I can't remember my security questions, and don't have a rescue email address, why can't I just add a rescue email to my apple ID account without having to contact iTunes Support?

    If I can't remember my security questions, and don't have a rescue email address, why can't I just add a rescue email to my apple ID account without having to contact iTunes Support?

    I verify my identity just by logging in with my password, not being able to add a rescue email address without answering the security questions is just extra hastle and doesn't increase security. No one knows my password so how could they break into my account? I understand having security questions to change your password but not for adding an email address.

  • WHY CAN'T I JUST INSTALL ANY ADOBE CS PROGRAM??!

    Whatever CS program I try to install, after initializing the setup, it just disappears... It's still in the processes tab of Task manager, but it doesn't do anything...
    More then a year ago I successfully installed Photoshop CS3, but after that, it just didn't work anymore. I've tried Flash CS3, Photoshop CS4 and After Effects CS3, but none of them worked.
    Does anyone have a solution for this??
    And why can't Adobe just make WORKING setups...? Must not be that difficult...

    And turn off anything that might be interfering with the setup.

    Do the clean up scripts delete my Photoshop CS3?? Or any other Adobe software??
    Where can I find the MS installer update?
    What programs might interfere with the setup?

  • Why can I not just have a new phone.

    I am on my 3 refurbished replacement phone and am starting to get fustrated with Verizon. Every refurbished Galaxy S III that has been sent to me has had a different malfunction. Why can't I just have a new phone enstead of a refurbished one.

    I do carry the insurance and you are right about the contract but I am still fustrated that out of 3 replacement phones, all 3 have something wrong with them. And yes I did get my original phone at a discount price but it was still $300+  so it should of lasted longer than 6 to 7 months.
    Yes, it should, that's why they have a warranty, and the warranty says that after 14 days and up to 1 year, they will replace it with a refurbished device.
    If you buy a new car and have problems with the transmission after 6 months, do they give you a new car, or "refurbish" the one you have? (It's not like Verizon is doing something "new and different" with their warranty)

  • I downloaded pictures onto my iPhone from computer twice by mistake now when i uncheck/sync then check and sync again  i keep getting two lots of pics..how can i get just the one set again? thnx

    You're welcome.
    All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library regardless if you select a single album or folder of photos to be transferred or multiple albums or folders. The photos on the albums or folders of photos include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. The photos are not duplicated taking up double the storage space. This way you can view the photos in an album or folder of photos only by selecting the album or folder, or all photos in all albums or folders by selecting Photo Library.
    Makes more sense when transferring multiple albums or folders of photos which cannot be changed when transferring only a single album or folder of photos.
    The same applies with iTunes and music playlists. A song can't be in a playlist unless it is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song.
