Despite removing my number from their devices several times I find that my families apple products are still readding my number by themselves and recieving my messages.

We share an account, is there anyway to stop this? It's very annoying.

I will try one more time to make certain you are doing what should work. You can all share the same Apple ID, and you can associate multiple email addresses with the Apple ID. Each device has to have the Send and Receive appropriate email for that person checked but no check mark by the other person's address. To do this you would go into iMessage under Settings in each device and make certain the Start new messages from is also checked next to the correct email only.

ITunes 10.7 Update returns error (-1003) & remains in App Store despite updating iTunes directly from iTunes webpage several times & currently running latest version 11.0.5 (5)

I have experienced this problem since purchasing a brand new MacBook in October 2012, basically the App Store permanently displays "1 Update Available" for iTunes 10.7 but clicking the "Update" button only results in the following error "A server with the specified hostname could not be found.(-1003)" so I have always had to go around the App Store & download & install iTunes updates directly from the iTunes webpage. I am currently running the latest version of iTunes 11.0.5 (5) & what I believe is the latest version of OS X 10.8.4 (12E55) & I simply wish to stop the App Store displaying this update that doesn't work anyway & relates to a year old version of iTunes!!!
Note: It may or may not be of importance but the same problem was also happening for iPhoto & iMovie but I was able to locate fixes for these issues which entailed changing a filename in both applications' "Contents" folders from "_MASReceipt" to "_MASReceipt_FAULTY" (although I believe I could have renamed it anything!) I obviously tried a similar thing for iTunes & App Store separately but unlike iMovie & iPhoto which were fixed immediately the recommended changes were made, these modifications did not resolve the issue which persists to this day & isn't critical but is just annoying!!!

Search for "iTunes" in Spotlight and make sure you don't have an outdated copy lying around, perhaps on a backup volume.

4th gen nano stuck on apple logo. tried to reboot several time didn't work. went to apple store they said it has hard drive problem. and i don't have warranty anymore on this iPod. so def don't want to pay to fix it. need some help.

also mention to that is when i connect ipod to my mac it's not getting recognized now. so i don't know can i get into reboot mode and try putting up new firmware rather thant rebooting on it. need help. i

do a full reset and recover from backup, and be patient this time, allow the prcoess to complete. Upgrades can take hours to finish, many people disconnect or try to restore the iphone before its finished updating, flashing itself and rebooting.

Contact old iPhone user to get them to remove the iPhone from their account.

I am very frustrated. This isn't a question for say, but venting about my anger towards Apple. I bought by phone from a 3rd party who bought the same phone from another person on eBay. The iPhone was water damaged. I have a background in Radio Repair, so I fix phones on the side. Not really for profit, but as a hobby. I am now stuck with a working phone that has the stupid iCloud activation notice. I don't understand why apple can't either give you the e-mail of the person, or since that might be considered a security breach for some reason, email the previous user for us requesting they remove the unused phone from their account. Or is it apple trying to make more money, forcing me to buy a new iPhone.
I have two iPhone 4 that I use, and I wanted an iPhone 5. Well now I have a iPhone 5 that's a paperweight.
btw. the previous owner never used facetime, so that trick is out !!!!
It would be cool if an option on the activation help could automaticly have the option to contact the previous owner on our behalf, and give them the instructions to remove the phone from their account. Or given them a chance to respond back if the phone was lost or stolen.

You are raising a number of issues, all of which limit Apple due to abiding by privacy and security. We are all fellow users and not Apple employees so cannot speak for Apple, but describe what we understand to be the conditions.
Release of personal information, inclucing email, simply cannot ever happen for privacy concerns. Plus uncertainty over just who the current owner of a device might be and how that device has been setup. You could end up going in bigger circles as you indicate more than one previous owner of the iPhone.
The Activation Lock is an anti-theft protection that Apple has been praised by law enforcement for implementing. While it is an inconvenience for reselling some devices when previous owners do not properly cleanse their devices, there have been numerous cases brought up on here that are pretty conclusively dealing with stolen iOS devices.
All that can be done is somehow contact the previous owner and have that person remove the iPhone from his/her iCloud account so you can use it, as you have acknowledged. Apple cannot get involved for legal reasons.

In iPhoto, I want to copy certain photos in an event and then have the copies in another event WITHOUT removing the original photos from their original event; how to do that?

in iPhoto, I want to copy certain photos in an event and then have the copies in another event WITHOUT removing the original photos from their original event; how to do that?

The only way to do that is to export the image to a new file and then re-import it.
It's not really the intended way of working as it uses twice the disk space and is inefficient.
Use Albums instead. A Photo can be in any number of albums and use no extra disk space as it just simply references the image in the Library. Albums can be sorted any way you want - including manaually - and can have image from anywhere in the Library just by drag and drop.

Can someone please tell me how to remove music just from my device please? Many thanks. Steve.

>> then I get a completely blue screen.
That probably means that you're not looking at a bug in Photoshop, but a problem with a driver - and the most likely cause would be your video card driver.
And sure enough, your video card driver is almost 2 years out of date.
Please go to NVidia's website and get the latest driver - then follow their directions for installation (so you don't get bits of old driver left over).

I accidentally removed my iPhone from manage devices in my iTunes account. How do I get back on as a device to use my account?

I accidentally removed my iPhone from manage devices in my iTunes account. How do I get my iPhone 5s back on as a device to use my account?

Hi jakefrombishop,
If you changed that old ID to your current ID using Manage your Apple ID, try the following to see if it will accept your current password:
1.     Go to Manage your Apple ID and sign on with your current Apple ID and password. EDIT the ID and change it to the old email address. This is temporary. Do NOT verify it, do NOT change the password: Apple - My Apple ID
2.     Now on the iPhone, where it is asking for your password to turn off Find My iPhone, type in your current password
3.     Go back to Manage your Apple ID and sign on with the old email address and your current password. EDIT the Apple ID back to your current email address. You may need to verify it again.
Fingers crossed!

HT204406 What's the best way/order with which to remove itunes match from my devices?

Itunes Match is too much trouble for what it's worth, particularly after the ios 6 changes. It seems a little difficult to remove it permanently from my devices. Anyone have any advice on the matter?

Turn it off on your computer you sync with.
Settings > Music on your iOS device.

HT4191 How do I get to "When prompted, select Delete Notes to remove the duplicates from the device."? I can't get to this!

I have duplicate Notes on my iphone 4 (upgraded to iOS 5.1.1) I have followed your instructions to remove the duplicates. How do I get "select Detete Notes" to appear on my Mac? I have connected my phone to my Mac and selected it in iTunes. I clicked the Info pane and deselected the option to Sync Notes. THEN WHAT should I do? How do I get the prompt "Select Delete Notes to remove the duplicates from the device. (I do want to sync them using the over-the-air feature.)

I would try the following:
First sync your phone with iTunes to create a new backup (just in case). When done, disconnect your phone from your computer.
Next be sure that all of your Notes are on your mac (Don't proceed any further if they aren't). If so, turn off iCloud syncing for Notes on your phone go to Settings>iCloud and turning Notes to Off. When prompted choose to delete the notes from your phone.
Next, without connecting your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to iTunes>Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
Now connect your phone to your computer, click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar.
Go to the Info tab and under Other check Sync Notes, then further down under Advanced: Replace information on this iPhone, check Notes.
Click Apply at the bottom right to sync your phone. This should sync the Notes from your mac to your phone and you should no longer have duplicate Notes.
Next, on the Info tab uncheck Sync Notes and click Apply, when prompted select to keep the Notes on your phone (haven't tested this step but I believe you will be given the option to keep them on your phone).
Now disconnect your phone from your computer and check the Notes on your phone to confirm that they are still there and that you don't have any duplicates.
Next turn on iCloud syncing on your phone again by going to Settings>iCloud and turning Notes to On.
On your computer, without connecting your phone, go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and uncheck "Prevent…from syncing automatically" to re-enable automatic syncing.
That should do it.

How to remove or return status of Device on PC for find it?

Please suggest me

I did copy it to my desktop, but it still won't let me open it. I think the file on the disc might be corrupt or something like that though the cd itself checks out fine as far as viruses go. I was able to verify the disc, but that's about it. My husband tried it on his iMac and we have the same issue. It's unzipping the folder, but won't let us open the folder on both the Mac Book Pro or the iMac by double clicking, going to file/open or right clicking. It just keeps saying the same message as I posted above. I think I'm just going to have the client put the pictures on either a memory card or a USB memory stick so she won't have to compress the files for zipping purposes. It's been too frustrating trying to open this folder on this cd she gave me. She said she created/zipped the cd on her Mac Book Pro but it sure won't open on mine.

Hi..
Assuming you are using Safari ...
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Make sure to uninstall the currently installed Flash plugin first.
Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.
BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

Unfortunately you have taken an Apple product outside of the area where Apple currently does business. There isn't legally a way around this. Apple cannot license apps to you where you currently live.

Despite removing my number from their devices several times I find that my families apple products are still readding my number by themselves and recieving my messages.
