Can I give a software gift by using a firend's computer and paying with my AppleID?
I have a simple problem. I want to log in to the App Store on my friend's computer with my AppleID, then purchase and download some software as a gift. I don't want to download it for free, as it's not my computer. How do I accomlish this?
It is a bad idea. Any software you download onto your friend's computer with your Apple ID is still your software, registered to your Apple ID, not a gift. Your software on your friend's computer would be pirated software, as the Licensed Copy End User License Agreement does not allow you to give your software to your friend. And you would have to authorize your friend's computer to use your software. If for any reason he had to reformat his Mac, he would use your authorization to use your pirated software on his Mac.
The best way to give him software is to physically buy him an iTunes Gift Card that covers the cost of the software and then he could redeem the gift card with his Apple ID, buy the software and it would be registered to his Apple ID. You can also go online with the iTunes app and do the same in the form of an electronic iTunes gift certificate. This way nothing is pirated.

How can i reset my app store setting?
I have signed in and out with my own apple id but i used a different one at first a few years ago and that one is not going away how do i change it to my own apple id?Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID. Your only option is to delete the content and buy it again with the new Apple ID. -

I let a child use my iPod and she purchased a lot of doeses for idoser and I did not have the money on my card. Now I can't download anything at all without using a new credit card or paying for it. How do I cancel it
First, to prevent this from happening again, turn off "In App purchases" in the Restrictions settings on your iPod. You may also want to turn off the ability to install apps, to prevent purchases in case the child gets hold of your iTunes Store account information, and set the password to be required immediately. For more information, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213
As to a refund, that's not automatic since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
They're usually pretty lenient in the case of inadvertent purchases by children. No guarantees, though, just as if your child was in a store and ate a bunch of food (in other words, something that can't just be returned).
Good luck. -

Hi Legauche,
You can install and activate Creative Cloud desktop applications on two computers, regardless of operating system, for the individual associated with the Creative Cloud membership. See the product license agreements page for more information. Install the CC apps on the second machine and use the applications.

Can I use my dad's computer and library to sync the new ringtone to my phone or no?
I am on vacation and am trying to download a different ringtone to my iPhone but since my home computer is a desktop and at home I am on my dad's computer and want to know if it is possible to sync a ringtone to my iPhone through my dad's computer. When I open up iTunes it is his library and I know there is no way to access my library but i downloaded the ringtone to his library and don't know what will happen if I try to sync. I don't want to because I don't know if it will put his information and music and apps on my phone and put all of my iPhone stuff on his computer. Essentially, can I use my dad's computer and library to sync the new ringtone to my phone or no? If so then how?
If you sync with his it will erase everything you put on your iPhone from your desktop computer and replace it with everything from your dad's computer.
I'd recommend waiting until you get home. -

Lrak wrote: "It sounds like I should to that before endeavoring to transfer the manuscript?" (re-link)
It should be much easier to re-link in the Pagemaker file, as, with any luck, you can get the filenames from the Graphics Manager. After conversion to InDesign, any out-of-date linked images get their names converted to something like "image 123.jpg", and are themselves converted to an embedded low res representation of the image. Even vectored art. Pretty hard to figure them out, unless you are VERY familiar with the file, which you may be.
It may be that any cropping gets lost, too? I do prepress work, we do some set up for our customers, but most comes in pretty much ready to go, so I don't often have to did too deep into fixing such issues. On the other hand, any problem that can happen has probably crossed my desk, or it seems that way some days! -
Hi, im currently using an windows 8 computer and have installed itunes 11.5. My problem is i'm trying to transfer one song from my computer to my iphone. But some how i cannot drag and drop like last time itunes 10.x. I do not wish to sync as it means of deleting my entire song list from my phone just to transfer 1.
" I ordered the Snow Leopard software and tried installing it, but it stopped and said to clean the disk."
First off, your installation disc is in all likelihood faulty.
This has been a known issue in the past:

Bought my hubby an iphone4 and I registered it and opened an apple account for him. I have an iphone 5 (under my own Apple account). I use icloud to sync calendar and contacts with outlook 2007. How do I add my hubby's phone (account) to icloud so I can sync the same contacts and calendar?
On his phone, sign in Settings>iCloud and enable Mail so that he can have his own email address. Then add your account in Settings>Mail, Contacts & Calendars and enable Contacts and Calendars. They will then appear on his phone alongside any syncing he has set up. This will keep your emails separate, or you can add Mail as well so that you can both access that if you want. You can add his account in the same way on your phone and enable any data types you want to sync.

I am building a website using IWEB, on my computer, and I am stuck suddenly, the page I made yesterday is hidden by another page and I cannot pursue..
Is there a way to learn the process, also I see a contradiction with ILIFE 2011, reading about an announcement of Steve Jobs....? that iWeb would not longer be??How is the first page hidden by the other page? Where are you experiencing this problem? In iWeb's window or in the browser window of the published site?
Are you referring to the page's link in your navbar? If so check the Inspector/Page/Page pane for the "hidden" page and make sure it's set to be included in the navbar. If that's not the problem describe in detail what you mean and include any screenshots you can make of the problem.
As far as the longevity of iWeb read the following:
As you now know iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two features will be broken.
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: iW14 - Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
NOTE: the iLife 11 boxed version Is no longer available at the online Apple Store. To get a copy you'll have to try Amazon.com or eBay.com.
