Do I need to set my apple id in preferences if I am the administrator and no other users

Hi I do not want any shared access on my computer. New Mac registered with apple id/password for my mac. When I go into System Preferences under users my name if there along with apple id SET? If I set this with my own won't that mean there is another user? I know it would be me, but the system would recognize as a shared account. Do not want that. Also do I have to set a master password, since I am the only one authorized I thought that was a little redundent. Please help with all of your expertise (I am only assuming but hoping as well) Ha!

All content is tied to the account that buys/downloads it and it can't be transferred to a different account, so if you create a new account all of your existing downloads will remain tied to your existing account. If you don't have access to that email address anymore then you should be able to login here and update your account to have a new email address : https://appleid.apple.com/

I recently updated iTunes to the lastest version; however, when I went to purchase a song, it told me I needed to verify my apple ID, however I have not received the email, and cannot purchase anything now, any help?

I recently updated my iTunes to the latest version; however, when I go to purchase songs now, it says I need to verify my apple ID. It tells me to click OK to follow the instructions on how to do so. When I click OK, it says an email has been sent to my email address associated with my iTunes account that will hold a link that will aid in the creating of my apple ID, but I already have one, and just need to update it. And to add to this, I have not yet received the email, and it has been a few days now... any help?

Never mind, the email was finally sent....

Go to Settings>Store (or Settings>iTunes and App Stores for iOS 6) and sign out and sign in with the other/updated account.

Did you try unplugging the unit from power, leaving it for ten minutes, then plugging in again?
If you have & it didn't work, Damian Smith1 posted this possible solution (I like to give credit where credit is due).

I updated my iOS to 7 yesterday. But my music app doesn't show the 'Radio' button as the online videos and Apple website claims. What could be the reason and how to fix it. All other apps, swipe up/down seem to be working fine.

Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Before that, back up your device, explained here:

I hate to say this, but unless you are paying the 25 bucks you cannot back up your library to the cloud.
All you can do is back up the items you "purchased" from Apple.
iTunes Match
For $24.99/year you’ll get access to all your iTunesmusic including tunes you ripped from CDs or “borrowed” from anonymous friends. It scans your library to see if the song exists in iTunes’ 18 million song catalog and if it does it’ll stream it to you at 256 kbps. If your song is not in iTunes then it’ll be uploaded to iCloud at whatever rate it is on your device where it can be streamed for your listening pleasure. I cannot find any information on how to restore a library, however
Best of luck

Chris CA, 62,910 points. Dang...that's a lot of support. Before I start, let me say Thank You! You need to answer a lot of people's questions to achieve that.
1) You slightly misunderstood my letter through no fault of your own. It was a generic compilation of information submitted by members of this discussion turned into a letter by me for use on the Apple Feedback site. I myself did not receive an e-mail. I actually was prevented from purchasing any more iTunes gift cards at a certain point and was given a cryptic response from the iTunes store that my request could not be processed. It was only after investigation on my part that I found out the reason was the $100 max per 30 day rule. I'd try to find where in the Apple's support site I did find that information...but, well, you are just going to have to trust me. However, others in this discussion stated they received the information in an e-mail. I used that fact in my letter as it seemed to create a less "cumbersome" feedback submission.
2) "Why look for iOS apps?" That's a good very good question! I miswrote. I should have said "OS X apps." That is where iTunes is located on the Feedback Site. Good catch. As you know (62,910 points is a lot of "knowing"), when you submit feedback you must click on the item of which you are going to write. I must be so ramped up for the impending release of the new iPhone that I had iOS on the brain. My bad. :-)
3) In all the time this discussion has been alive (over a year), and in all my googling, I never read about an option to contact iTunes support and ask them to remove this limit from my account. It is too bad you didn't come to this discussion when it started in May of 2011 to offer that piece of advice! Surprisingly, that information wasn't anywhere on the Apple site where I read about the $100/30 day limit. Maybe it is there now. But, it sure wasn't there when I read it. It would have been very helpful.
4) You say "(which they can do and often have done for many people here)." I am curious, what do you mean by "here." Not "here" as in "here in THIS discussion forum." Right? I don't see anyone in this discussion aware of that information and posting it for others to read. By "here" I assume you mean the ENTIRE Apple Support Community. Unfortunately, until you arrived on the scene, none of those from that gigantic "here" came across THIS discussion to share their good fortune and knowledge about removing the $100 limit on iTunes gift card purchases per 30 days.
Well, I think that wraps it up for another day. I am off to iTunes support to get this limit removed from my account.
Adios amigos!

Very simple. Turn off Find my iDevice, then Tap Settings, General, Erase, Erase all content and settings.

Hi Ishrak,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are trying to log into with your Apple ID, or what exactly you are seeing (alert message, directions, etc) when you try to do so. If you continue to have issues with your Apple ID, you may find one or more of the articles linked from the following page helpful:

This is a user forum. You aren't talking to Apple here.
Return your iPhone for a refund. There is no way to remove the Activation Lock. Apple won't get involved.

When you set up tracks what is best to pick for the input and output?

When you set up tracks what is best to pick for the input and output? also what is the buss output? Thanks

First part of the question I don't understand, so could you elaborate please?
Second part: bus output is used for submixes, for example, let's say you want the same EQ to be applied to all guitars in the song, so instead of using same EQ plug-in on all guitar tracks, you feed the output from these tracks to a bus track and use the effect just once on this bus submix.
