Both my location on my iMac and my iPad are showing me 1500 miles away in Casper Wyoming at my previous address, how can I reset this?
I stupidly had the computer store set up my computer this last time when I made the transition to Mac. I have never donew this before and at the time bought the whole set up with a Time Capsule Airport, Wireless Printer and my iMac. We have since moved 1500 miles away and everything that want's to utilize my current locaiton places me back in Wyoming. How can I change this? I've tried resetting the wifi and done multiple other things to no avail. I know, why did I let someone else set up my system when I should have used that time to learn more about my Apple set up?
This probably has nothing to do with how the system was set up. For WiFi-only devices such as a Mac, Apple's location services go by the location of the WiFi router, not your actual location (since they have no other means for determining your location), so it seems probable that Apple's database still shows your router as being in the former location. You may need to find a friend with an iPhone and have him/her connect to your WiFi router to update Apple's database to your new location.
If your iPad is a WiFi+Cellular model and it's still showing the old location, though, then something else is amiss. Post back and we'll go from there.
Regards.

I need to back up and sync multiple iPhones to a single iMac. Each iPhone has a separate Apple ID and the data from each iPhone needs to be backed up separately from the others. How can I do this without getting all of the contacts, etc. mixed? Tnx
This might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495.

I cannot get past the initial screen on my new iMac. Data was transferred from my old computer so when I turned it on It automatically had my name in the window and asked for the password, but none of my old passwords seem to be accepted. How can I fix this?? It's a new IMac with osx.
Which password isn't working? The one to access the iPad or the one to get your hotmail?
If hot mail, you go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars and edit your hot mail account. Of if it won't edit, delete it off the iPad, then re-add it with the new password. -
I have iTunes, latest version, open in Windows XP and get an error 45048 message when I try to update apps thru the store. How can I fix this? I have reinstalled iTunes twice but problem continues.
Try contacting iTunes via email to check if there is an issue with the account. go to apple.com/support/itunes
Click on iTunes Store account and billing and select inquiries. On the right side click on "email us".
Before doing that trying viewing your account information first. Open the iTunes on you mac, look at the menu and select store and select view my account. Try removing the card (this is only applicable if you don't have a pending charges with iTunes) and hit done. Sign out, quit iTunes and sign back in and try updating the apps again. -
Hi, I share an iTunes account with my wife. Sometimes she gets my iMessages and I don't and vice versa. Also if people face time me it goes to her phone. How can I stop this from happening?
You can share the same Apple ID in
Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: here
But for all other Apple services like:
FaceTime, iMessage, iCloud, etc, one of you should use a different Apple ID. -
When i double click on Mac HD the view has changed and my user name is no longer listed on the left. How can I reset this?
Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility. -

bought a new iphone and i cant activate it unless the previous owner deletes the account from their icloud but i lost contact with the previous owner how can i fix this?
Take it back where you got and and get your money back.
As has been pointed out, if there was a "previous owner", the phone is not "new". Thephone you purchased is most likely stolen. If whoever you bought it from won't give you your money back, turn it over to the police. -

Lightroom 6 is up and running. Upgraded from LR5. However I want to change the file name to be more generic, e.g., description in LR5 references LR5 and I want to change that to just John G's LR Catalog/Library.lrcat. How can I accomplish this without fouling everything up?
Ok, well you'll need to do something like this. Now this part is a little dependent on your database server:
try {
Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver").newInstance();
Connection c = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:mysql://{database-server}/{database-name}:3306?user={username}&password={password}");
Statement Stmt = c.createStatement();
int count = Stmt.executeUpdate(cmd);
if(count>0) {
System.out.println("count: " + count);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}That was some sample code for a MySQL database.
Note that the applet can only contact the server that is was loaded from, so you might want to do a getCodeBase() or something like that to get the server address.
Hope this is helpful. -

Often when I do a search and then click on the link I am redirected to a fake or phishing website. How can I stop this? Thank you!
Usually you would get to a phishing site directly by mistyping, or from the search itself.
You can avoid a lot of phishing sites with the following:
'''Tools > Options > Security'''<br>
''Known attack sites can be blocked here, uses information reported to Firefox and to Google.''<br>
[x] Warn me when sites try to install add-ons<br>
[x] Block reported attack sites<br>
[x] Block reported web forgeries
Having a good '''hosts''' file on your system can protect your entire system cross-application and all browsers and all your Firefox profiles against a lot malware. The '''hosts''' file must coded for www.example.com, example.com, anything.example.com -- '''Adblock Plus''' is more generic and can do more with less coding. See links below.
