Auto things apple does without user permission-use pop-up questions instead

with ipod classics [and not sure about their other programs] - and having about 65 gigs of info or more on your ipod - auto syncing when plugging into computer is a real pain - had to buy a huge back up drive to store all my music folder stuff - ipod won't open from that drive of course - will only use the c drive - which has no space - so must copy the files from back up drive to c drive if i want to add something new - then if i unclicked open itunes when ipod is plugged into computer - god forbid! - the syncing of my ipod starts without my control - apple needs to stop being like microsoft with the automatic crap computers do - leave the controls in the users hands always - no one wants the computer doing things through apple programs on its own - stop anything automatic on your products - and make changing settings easier for consumer/user - apple programs should have pop-ups ask us what we want to do [or not do] instead!

had to buy a huge back up drive to store all my music folder stuff - ipod won't open from that drive of course
??? iPods don't open from any drive.
so must copy the files from back up drive to c drive if i want to add something new
No you don't. You can store everything on the external and use it just fine.
-> iTunes for Windows: Moving your iTunes Media folder
apple programs should have pop-ups ask us what we want to do or not do instead!
Are you sure?

    Apple does not recognize my answers to security questions. Now what?

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if the instructions on this user tip helps you get them reset : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • Why does Apple now force users to provide 3 security questions or use their ridiculous two step verification in order to download from the App Store?

    This is a total pain in the ***.  I've been using ios products since the launch of the iPhone 4 and they've suddenly changed to this nonsense?   Why does Apple treat its users like they're 4 years old?

    Those things are nothing new.  People were doing that three years ago and Apple felt their security was sufficient then.   I don't have a credit card on file so I'm not worried about anyone getting my credit card info. 
    I have sent my feedback to Apple.   Their response included "this is policy. There is no way around the security measures."  and "I have provided Apple's answer. There is no further escalation point or anyone I can transfer you to that is going to provide a different answer at this time." 

  • What is apple doing about numb fingers using the trackpad on the new mid 2012 macbook air?

    What is apple doing with the trackpads on the mid 2012 MacBook Air, that creates numbness and pain in my fingers.

    You have no idea what you are talking about catperson. This topic happens to be on one of the
    Apple Support Cummunity conversation. It's called,
    Hands go Numb, tingle from trackpad-
    Do you even have a 2012 or newer laptop? If not, don't give advise as simple as go see a doctor. Will Apple be paying for my medical bills?
    Yesterday is the first time my finger got so painful I could no longer work on my project. I iced it to help numb the numbness, usally the pain subsides when I stay off my laptop for hours however when I start working on it the pain returns and you need your index and middle finger to work that laptop. This is the first time the pain had not gone away, 24 hours later. It feeIs like the tip of my middle finger has a giant splinter in it, very sore! I bought the first edition Macbook Air laptop 4 years ago and never had this problem with my index and middle finger, until I started working on my new Air.
    Look at how many people are having the same problem. It can not be a coencidence.  This problem has cost me the use of my finger and the high expense for this new MacBook Air. I'm going to my apple store tomorrow and show them how many people have this problem with numbness. I think this problem goes way beyond giving me a refund for this computer.
    Any thoughts after reading other people having the same painful experience?
    So What is Apple going to do with the new MacBook Air trackpad that creates numbness in your fingers?
    PS: I know the trackpad is made of glass, so I covered my trackpad with a clear cover they sell to put on iphones however that did not slove anything.

  • Is there a way to display movies purchased from itunes from my ipad to my apple TV without internet (still using wifi)

    I am going on vacation and will have a wifi network, but no internet access. I have tried to display downloaded movies from my ipad purchased on itunes to my apple TV, but get "Unknown Error -3". I can use mirroring, but not show the video. I am signed into the same account on both devices and the movie is downloaded to the ipad. The only issue I can think of is some DRM check, but I am not sure.
    Has anyone been able to do this? It would be nice to be able to use my purchased movies on vacation without needing internet.
    thanks for any help

    Will the lightning to HDMI dongle work?
    thanks for any help!
    This was a big advantage of AppleTV1 - generally it did not need internet authorisation for synced material on its internal drive and was great for holiday/vacation.
    I tend to use a Mac Mini these days when going away.

  • Why Apple does not allow to use WHATSAPP WEB on iPhone?

    Why ?! Why does android allow it...blackberry... windows phone...why all top brands but apple??!?!

    Then please send a feedback to Apple telling them we all want to use whatsapp web !!
    Why do you think you can speak for all of us?  I don't want to use that app or function.  Regular messages and iMessages work just fine for me.
    If you want Apple to change something, then tell them, using the link already provided.

    Can you use your iPad alone to share iTunes music to apple tv without having to use your pc?

    If the music is stored on your iPad, then double tap the home button, swipe (left to right motion) and you will see the volume/brightness controls/AirPlay. Tap on AirPlay and select ATV. Then go into the music app

  • Can you use Apple Pay without also needing to use a passcode to unlock your phone? I don't see that combination of options in settings.

    Can you use Apple Pay without also needing to use a passcode to unlock your phone? I don't see that combination of options in settings.

    I too don't like this. I would like to be able to use Touch ID for purchases on the App Store, Apple Pay, & Apple Store without having to use a passcode to unlock my phone. Why not allow the Touch ID to be app specific? Let us use it when we need it, not force us to use it for everything or nothing at all. That ***** that you have to set up a Passcode for your phone if you want to use Apple Pay. I didn't know about that. I haven't set that up yet because I'm waiting for them to support my credit card. Now I'm thinking I may not use Apple Pay. What a pain! Come on Apple, let us pick and choose what we want to lock down on our phones!!!

  • I'm furious about Apple downloading U2's new album to my mobile devices without my permission

    I'm absolutely furious that Apple has, without my permission or request, downloaded U2's new album "Songs of Innocence" to my mobile devices. I want to know how I can delete this from my devices permanently and without trace.

  • Is there a solution for allowing them to use Apple TV without logging them in with my own Apple ID?

    I often have clients in during edit sessions and when there is downtime they enjoy using Apple TV to watch content on my laptop. We were wondering if there's a way to have them connect their laptops to Apple TV without having to use my account to login.

    yeah appletv can access all shared libs on the network

  • Generate a Report Dynamically without User Intervention and Output to XML

    Here's the scenario for which I am trying to find a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I have a series of reports that the users generate from a UI by selecting the report, setting the values for a list of parameters, and then click a submit button. The report is generated in the UI for them to view. They can print it from here or export it to Excel.
    They would like to be able to schedule a report to run daily without user intervention using a saved set of parameters. The system would run the report automatically and email it to a defined set of email addresses.
    To do this, we need to have the report generated in a string or xml so a Java process can read it and email it.
    I see that I can change a report's template to export:xml so I feel that it is possible. How can I export a report to XML without user intervention? Can the report template be changd dynamically at runtime? Ideally, I need some way to call this same report and have it output as a string data or xml to be used by a Java process that would store and generate the report for email.

    Hi Kumar,
    From Program1 you are calling Program2, using submit syntax (inside Program1).
    While using submit, if you have correctly filled up the selection screen of program2, then it will AUTOMATICALLY get executed, WITHOUT F8.
    If there is any compulsary field in program 2, which does not get populated, then it will not run automatically, or unless some special code is written in program2.
    If you do not want the output of Program2 on screen, then u can use
    SUBMIT Program2 AND RETURN.
    In that case, no selection screen (of program2) will appear and neither the output of program 2.
    Regards,
    Amit Mittal.

  • How to store movies on Apple TV without keeping them in the iTunes library

    I'd like to know how I can store movies on the Apple TV without having to keep them in the iTunes library. I'd like to use the 160Gb of space on my Apple TV without having to use the same space on my nearly full MBP hard disk !
    Thanks in advance...

    The idea of storing songs, movies and photographs on the ATV is to allow the end-user to turn off their computer and just use the device like a stereo/video component.
    Ah! Of course... I wasn't even considering this b/c I'm one of these people who almost never has his computer off b/c I work from home and also do a lot of web surfing, etc. but obviously many many people have the computer shut off much more often than it is on.
    So, alright. I see why the hard drive is there... it just seems so tempting for it to be able to be more of a stand alone device, more like another computer with iTunes on it rather than like a big iPod that sits under my TV. I guess I'll file that away in my tech wish list...

  • TS5366 My grandson made a purcase on my account without my permission, my paypal acct had an expired debit card on file and the charge went thru anyway, making my checking acct go negative. How can I get this charge reversed?

    My grandson made a purchase without my permission using my paypal account that has an expired debit card info. and the charge went thru anyway making my checking account go negatve. How can I get this charge reversed?

    Purchases are considered final but you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If the purchase was made on an iOS device then to try and stop it happening again you can use Settings > General > Restrictions to turn off in-app purchases, and you can require your password to be entered for every download.
