It wants the admin password for your computer's user account, not your Apple ID password.

  • Can you activate a message to show when you open a document but someone else has already has it open?

    Can you activate a message to show when you go to open a document that someone already has the document open?

    We are using Dropbox application.
    Documents are word documents.
    Two users can open the same word document at the same time and both users can make amendments simultaneously without realising.  This then creates a conflicted copy in Dropbox.
    We would like to activate a message so if a user has a word document open and another user attempts to open it they receive a notification advising it is already in use.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks

  • HT2736 Why can I not GIFT apps using my current iTunes balance???

    Why can I not GIFT apps using my current iTunes balance???  It allows you to pay using credit card, paypal, or a new iTunes card, but why can we not gift apps and songs to each other using the current balance we have on our accounts from previous iTunes gift card purchases etc.?
    Either I am missing something very obvious here, or Apple's greedy stance on gifting is actually creating less usage of the feature, because I for one would not think twice about purchasing gifts for people with a current balance that is already accounted for, but when it comes to adding money or using a card, it just feels like a new payment, and a bigger monetary burden.
    Please let me know how to do this if it is possible, and if it is not, then PLEASE FIX ?

    I agree with some points that is how it works. Because apple do things they want....
    It's quite nice that way being so unique and remarkable. However it is so inconvenient for users who sometimes just want to gift things without a credit card or such whatever.  Because sometimes it's meaningless to have balance when you aren't able to spend it.
    The point is made. Many are not happy with it but that's life. Just take it or leave it...

    Yes it is.  If it wasn't the case, then why are you asking the question to begin with?
    why everytime I have a question about a simple activity present in Android system I get in response ... "you can't sorry" !?
    1.  Because iOS is not Android
    2.  Because it's the truth, whether you like it or not

  • I bought an ipad2 in uae. Can i activate it in UAE with an apple id of India.I want to use it later in India continuously

    I bought an ipad2 in uae. Can i activate it in UAE with an apple id of India.I want to use it later in India continuously

    You can. As you've bought it in the UAE you should be aware that it doesn't have FaceTime installed on it (due to the country's law), and you will not be able to install it either - I think it is blocked by the serial number of the device, so even though you may take it to India you will not be able to get FaceTime even if you update the iOS when in India

  • I created a new apple id for my iphone and ipad which work great and allow me to access Icloud. on my macbook air can't get it to use my new apple id for icloud. Help?

    I created a new apple id for my iphone and ipad which work great and allow me to access Icloud. on my macbook air  I can't get it to use my new apple id for icloud. It keeps going back to my old apple id and doesn't afford me to alter it. I use system preferences-icloud and it just wants to verify the old apple id but doesn't afford me the opportunity to delete teh account or edit it like the iphone5 and ipad. Help?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You need to use the sign out option on the left side.

  • HT204053 Can my wife and I use the same apple ID?

    Can my wife and I use the same Apple ID?

    You can certainly use the same ID for an itunes store account to share purchased items.  However for icloud, it's designed so that each account pertains to one user for each of his/her devices.  The main purpose of icloud is syncing and backups of iOS devices.  Do you really want to have the same email account, same contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc?  Usually a couple needs to have separate icloud accounts.  They can share calenders if they want.
    The danger of two users using one account is if one user edits or deletes (on purpose or accidentally) data, that will propagate to the other user's devices.

  • Why can I send email from my iPad, but my iMac which is connected to the same modem keeps telling me that it can't send the message using the same server?

    I have an iPad 2, connecting via Wifi to an Actiontec Q1000 modem.  The iMac (3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz RAM, running OS 10.8.2) is also hard wired to the same modem.  Internet access is via CenturyLink.  Main email is from Shaw cable in Calgary (Phoenix is a vacation property), not through CenturyLink.
    Can receive email on the iMac, but every time I try to send, I get a pop up saying "Cannot send message using the server .......".  Further prompts me to verify the address in the email, and SMTP settings in Mail preferences, or to select a different outgoing mail server.  I've tried using a number of servers, always the same result.
    Using same settings in both devices.

    Mail is not my forte, but what I noticed was that you have Centurylink and presumably have your Mail set up with their settings? But then you mention Shaw/vacation property/etc - you can send out email only through the server that you have set up as an account using the ISP you are using. If you switch places, do you have separate accounts set up with both Centurylink and Shaw so you can switch and use whichever one you're at? A Phoenix ISP won't work with a Mail POP account unless you're in your home - Phoenix - area.
    Do you have a data plan with your iPad? That would explain why that works - it'll function sort of like a cellphone - works anywhere where there are signals.

  • Can another user post messages using my id and password

    How can I check whether messages sent using my Log in account and password were Posted from another machine?

    If I were you I'd change my password and email, like the person above me said.Honestly, you should never give ANY account information to ANYONE- it can really mess things up for you, and in the end since it's YOUR account, YOU will be the one liable for whatever activity transpires on the account, no matter if it really was you that said something or not.Judging by this whole situation, you're probably just a kid. So it's okay.
    It happens.
    Let this be a lesson for you though. At least it was just this account, and not something more important like a credit card or something lol. Take care.

  • HT4623 i can't activate my iphone using wifi settings

    how can i activate my iphone 4s without a micro sim. i already tried to open it using the wifi settings but it failed..
    i once had an iphone 4s and activate it using a wifi settings and it works... but now it wont...how come???

    You can't. It requires a SIM to activate. There is no way around it. The SIM does not have to be tied to active service, but it must be present and it must be from the correct carrier if the phone is carrier locked.
