Device name in computer not the same in i-tunes

Hi iphone name in itunes is correct however when i double clicked my computer i can see my iphone mounted as camera and the name is different. The name is my wifes name which i previously upgrade to ios 5 using my itunes. i have signed out from her account and now i am using mine in itunes. my phone is detected with my name correctly and in my phone is also correct but not in my computer. is there anyway to change it in my computer?

Hi, I had the same problem and the only solution that worked was to change all references to the old name in the PC's Registry. Caution, read the last sentence before attempting this.
Type regedit in the search field and when you find it, open the program. Click Edit then click on "Find" and type in the old iphone name you want to get rid of, eg. 'Joe's iphone'. When it is found (exactly as it appears in Windows) replace it (and ONLY it) with the name you want eg. 'Fred's iphone'. Keep searching the registry and change every reference to the old name. When no more can be found, close regedit and reconnect your phone. It will now show the same name as the itunes name. Note: type the registry name and itunes name exactly the same.
DO NOT change anything else, if you make a mistake when working in the Registry it can have serious consequences with your PC's operation. Do this at your own risk. If unsure create a System Restore point first.

With iTunes match, order of the songs in my playlist of mobile devices is not the same as on my computer

In my iTunes on computer, I have several smart play lists. Within each playlist, songs are set to a certain order. Some playlist songs order are organized by name, some playlists are organized by Album, some playlists are organized by artist etc.
When I was syncing my iPhone and iPad directly with my computer, the playlists on my mobile device had same order of songs as on my itunes in computer.
Now, I signed up for iTunes match. With iCloud sync, order of the songs in my playlist of mobile devices is not the same as on my computer. In fact, order of songs within a playlist appears to be completely random. Moreover, order of songs are different in my iPhone 4s and iPad 2
How can I change the order of songs on my mobile devices or how do I make iTunes match to sync my songs such that within a playlist, my songs are in the same order as that of iTunes on my computer.

Thanks mracole. I assume this means order of songs will work with regular play lists I iTunes match. Will try it this afternoon and report.
Please let me know if my understanding is not correct.
Best regards and thanks once again.

We have three Apple devices. They are all have the same name and are on the same apple ID. We would like to back up our Notes to the cloud. If we each create our own Apple email address will they create two separate Notes flies on the cloud or merge?

We have three Apple devices 2 IPhone 4's and one Ipad2. Only the Ipad2 is running the latest OS. They are all have the same name and are on the same apple ID. We would like to back up our Notes to the cloud. If we each create our own Apple email address (we don't have one yet) will they create two separate Notes flies on the Cloud or merge them?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Separate Apple ID's will result in separate notes. However when you first start with separate ID's unless one of you erases the notes you have, you will both start off with the same set of notes, but from then onwards each set won't sync with each other.

I am trying to deauthorize my audible account. It says the user name and/or password are incorrect after I had just deauthorized the computer using the same user name and password. They should be different correct?

I am trying to deauthorize my audible account. It says the user name and/or password are incorrect after I had just deauthorized the computer using the same user name and password and logging in to post this. They should be the same password correct?

Deauthorize Audible Account... always appears as a menu selection, even if you deauthorized Audible or never even had an account.
Audible is a different account from iTunes and does not require the same username / password.

The MAC signature found in the HTTP request '***' is not the same as any computed signature. Server used following string to sign: 'POST

Hi,
When trying with Postman sending a REST call to Azure Storage Queues I get:
The MAC signature found in the HTTP request '***' is not the same as any computed signature. Server used following string to sign: 'POST.
The code I have for creating the Authorization Header:
var accountName = "my_account";
string key = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["my_access_key"];
DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
string formattedDate = String.Format("{0:r}", dt);
var canonicalizedHeaders = "x-ms-date:" + formattedDate + "\n" + "x-ms-version:2009-09-19" + "\n" ;
var canonicalizedResource = "/my_account/myqueue/messages";
var stringToSign = String.Format("POST,\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n{0}{1}", canonicalizedHeaders, canonicalizedResource);
stringToSign = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(stringToSign);
HMACSHA256 hmac = new HMACSHA256(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(key));
var signature = Convert.ToBase64String(hmac.ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(stringToSign)));
var authorizationHeader = String.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "SharedKey {0}:{1}", accountName, signature);
return authorizationHeader;
Anyone any idea what I'm missing/doing wrong?
Additional question: do i have to create for every message I want to send a new Authorization header? Or is there an option (as with Service Bus Topics) to create a header that can be used for a certain timeframe?
Thanks.

One issue is with this line of code:
HMACSHA256 hmac = new HMACSHA256(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(key));
Please use the following:
HMACSHA256 hmac = new HMACSHA256(Convert.FromBase64String(key));
and that should take care of the problem.
Regarding your question, "do i have to create for every message I want to send a new Authorization header? Or is there an option (as with Service Bus Topics) to create a header that can be used for a certain timeframe?"
With your current approach, the answer is yes. What you can do is create a Shared Access Signature on the queue which will be valid for certain duration and then use that for posting messages to a queue using simple HttpWebRequest/HttpWebResponse.
Hope this helps.

When I try to buy ibooks from my ipad, the virtual keyboard is not the same as my computer, and so as my password consists of numbers, letters and symbols my ipad keeps showing that my password is incorrect! Is there any way around this problem please?

Are you using the virtual keyboard to input your password and you cannot see/find the characters you need on that keyboard?
Or are you trying to use a bluetooth keyboard and pressing the printed key does not produce the right character?

I had my computer repaired, and when I got it back I had to reinstall iTunes. Now iTunes won't authorize this computer because it says we already have 5 devices authorized, but this is the same computer. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Deauthorizing won't delete anything, and all your purchased content is safe. You will just have to reauthorize any of the other computers that get deauthorized along with your computers old machine id.
To get your purchased content back on that computer, just use iTunes to redownload it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US). Of course, music you ripped from CD or got from another source you'll need to copy those files back over.

Content of photostream not the same on all devices?

I have a iMac, iPad and an iPhone. All photos are added to iCloud with Photostream, but the content of the photostream on iCloud is not the same on all devices. I thought that the content would be synchronised. 487 photos on iPad, 529 Photos on iPhone and 596 Photos on iMac. Just now I have all devices turned on, connected to the same wifi, but no synchronising is taking place. How is this soposed to work?

This usually happens because, while you can keep 1000 photo stream photos on your devices regardless of age, they only remain in iCloud for 30 days. Photo stream photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server so depending on when you enabled my photo stream, you devices would have a different number of photos. You can always add any missing photos to a shared stream on the device that has them in order to stream them to your other devices.

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

I upgraded my macbookpro hard drive to 1 TB then migrated my files from time machine. I'm now locked out of the computer because the password is not the same as my usual one and one that was years old and not retreivable. How do I work around this?

Whether or not you are able to recover the data off the drive yourself will depend on if the drive suffered any impact damage in the crash. You can buy USB SATA or IDE adapters (Intel and almost all G5 use SATA) that will let you connect your hard drive to a computer (like a flash drive) to see if you can recover the data. If the drive has suffered physical damage if may not mount.
If you know someone who has one of these adapters you could try using theirs, otherwise you could buy one but you take the risk of the data on the drive being non recoverable. Regardless, both are much cheaper than $1699!
(Alternatively, if you know of someone with a Mac Pro or PowerMac G5 they may be able to install the drive in their machine and try to boot from or mount it and copy the data off.)

HT204291 Does mirroring automatically mirror content to other devices which are registered under the same name ? If so does this occur across different distances? Does Apple Tv store mirrored content?

Does apple tv automatically mirror content from one device to all other iPad or mackbook devises which are registered under the same name? If so does a device have to be in the same area ?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Mirroring only works FROM a mobile device TO an Apple TV.

I keep getting the same message: The iPhone "..." cannot be synced. You do not have the privilege to make changes. I re-authorized the computer. The same thing?

After sync I get at the last step always the same message: The iPhone "..." cannot be synced. You do not have the privilege to make changes. I re-authorized the computer but the same is going on.
Anyone solved this issue?

Numerous reports of this issue this morning, watch the otehr threads, you may find the answer

Does your device require being connected to the same wifi network as your computer to be able to backup onto it?

Does your device require being connected to the same wifi network to backup onto your computer?
I know this may sound a silly question but I am a complete noivce with all things iPhone and computer based. Basically, I just wondered, if my phone is connected to one wifi network (as in when am away from home), will it be able to download my content onto my computer which is on another wifi network?

Thank you.
'Of course, you could just turn on iCloud backups, which will back up to iCloud at night so long as the phone is connected to power and a WiFi network'
IS this also the case for iCloud backup? As in, the device and computer must be connected via the same wifi network to perform the backup?
