Does Automatic Downloads require you to have an Apple ID signed in?

We've got some iPads that we manage using Apple Configurator. Previously, we'd have to plug them into the Mac running Apple Configurator in order to update the apps. However, with iOS7 there is the switch 'Automatic Updates' in the App Store settings. Does anyone know if this will still work, even if you aren't signed in with an Apple ID?
Thanks
Tim

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 another Apple ID with a new Apple ID.
Apple ID security issues -
Call Apple Care and ask for the Account Security Team. They can assist you with your issue of recovering the old Apple ID.

Does Find my iPhone require you to have iCloud?

Does Find my iPhone app require you to have iCloud?

No, to use the "Find My Phone" feature of iCloud you would need to create an iCloud account and enable the feature on your iPhone.
If you haven't, then there would be no way to track its location.

Apps or Music you purchase, using the same Apple ID, on any other device will automatically be downloaded on the device these settings are turned on for.

I've been trying to get a book sample and a dialogue box comes up saying: To receive book samples, you need a device with the latest versions of iOS and ibooks installed and Automatic Download enabled. I have iBooks installed and automatic download enabled. I don't know if it's talking about a new version of iOS on my iphone or my laptop. You people sure like to make things difficult.

trevbeats,
I had the same problem. It turned out the issue for me was that I had Automatic downloads turned off on my devices!
see below how to turn it on.
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores on your device.
Tap Sign In if you're not already signed in to the iTunes Store.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Tap On/Off switch to enable or disable Automatic Downloads for each content type.

Final cut pro requires you to have a quartz extreme graphics card

When I open Final Cut Pro, it says final cut pro requires you to have a quartz extreme graphics card. However, I have used the same thing for over a year already without any problems! Please help!
It's an iMac 27inch quad core late 2009

I bet you used Software update to download a few items recently (including a recent system update), and have not yet restarted your Mac. To confirm this, launch software update, and follow the instructions. Once you restart and the install completes, relaunch FCP, and you'll probably be good.
(I just did that to myself the other day).
Hope it helps!

How do i recover my purchased movies on itunes. the icloud does not show them and i have contacted apple twice before about this issue

how do i recover my purchased movies on itunes. the icloud does not show them and i have contacted apple twice before about this issue

Not all movies qualify for download on demand from iTunes in the Cloud, the rights may be reserved by the content provider and can vary by region. What response have you had from iTunes Store support?
If you have still have the computer they were on it might be possible to extract the hard drive, mount it in an external drive bay and recover the content from it.

How can You create a rescue email if you already have an Apple ID/account?

I didn't think about it, thought I didn't need it, but now I know. I forgot my security answers, and I keep getting locked. I need a way to create a rescue account if I already have an Apple ID/account. I won't click on any links unless it directs me to the exact location on creating a rescue email while you already have an Apple ID/account. I went through enough threads, links and everything, I've tried every single way to answer, but still keep getting locked out. Please help me, I need it.

There is no way to create a rescue email address without correctly answering two of the questions. You need to ask Apple to reset them; ways of doing so include clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.

What to do if you dont have an apple store near you for repairs.

Just curious as to what apple will do if you dont have an apple store near you and you have a defective device. My nearest apple store is 300 miles each way and after reading about some of the defects people have been seeing such as screens being scratched easily, loose screens, software problems etc.
Verizon is backordered so im sure they wouldnt be of any help.
So whats apples procedures for people not near an apple store to make an appointment.

If you contact Apple Support, they can also ship you a replacement, if your device is eligible for service or Out-of Warranty repair.
Check this article about it: Apple - Support - Service Answer Center
Choosing a service option
You can request repair service from your carrier (except AT&T and Virgin Mobile), directly from Apple, or from a local Apple Authorized Service Provider. If you get service through Apple, you can mail us your iPhone or make an appointment with a Genius at an Apple Retail Store.
About repair service
When you send your iPhone to Apple, we’ll examine it to confirm it’s eligible for the service you requested. If your iPhone is eligible, we’ll either repair your iPhone or replace it. The replacement will be new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability. If we determine that your iPhone is eligible for a different service than the one you requested, we’ll contact you with more information.
Out-of-warranty service
If your iPhone or the required service isn’t covered by Apple’s One Year Limited Warranty, AppleCare+, or AppleCare Protection Plan, you may still be able to get out-of-warranty service. For example, an iPhone damaged by liquids may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. Apple reserves the right to determine whether your device is eligible. See Apple’s Repair Terms and Conditions for complete details.
Read Apple’s Repair Terms and Conditions
See out-of-warranty service pricing
Before you send your iPhone for service, back it up!
Your content is important, and you’ll need the backup to restore your iPhone after service. Apple will delete the content on your iPhone during the service process, regardless of whether you bring it to your carrier, take it to an Apple Retail Store, or mail it in.

Every time I try to download the new Firefox I get this message when it relaunches, " Invalid Request You requested a page that does not exist. You may have reached this page by clicking on an invalid link or bookmark." What should I do?

This happens with every browser I try to download that isn't the old 3.0 version of Firefox

"Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now" "Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
If this doesn't help, try ending any Firefox processes and completely restart it. If none of this helps you might consider you could have Malware or something nastier. Connection issues can also cause that error message. I remember having the same issue a couple of years ago and had to completely restart my PC for some reason to get the new Firefox to install. Sorry I don't have any more in depth answer.
Hope this helped you, have a nice day.

I live in NZ and just downloaded firefox because this other program i need to download requires me to have firefox3 but when i click on the other program to download its not downloading so why is that.

I live in NZ and just downloaded firefox which was successful because this other program i need to download requires firefox3 so when i clicked on this program to download now that i have firefox its not downloading so why is that.

Yes, you need the latest version of Flash to work with Mavericks and Safari 7.x. I'm not sure why you can't view some of the videos on YouTube but not all and I don't know which, YouTube or Safari, is suggesting a 10.xxxx version.
Can you copy and paste the specific URL of a video that you're having problems viewing? Then I could take a look on my end and see if I notice anything funny.

How do you stop app's going across 2 iphones when you only have 1 apple ID for itunes?

I have an iPhone, iPad & iMac which is all set up lovely. However my girlfriend now has a iPhone too so I have set up her phone with my apple ID for itunes but her own one for emails etc.
The issue I am having is that when ever she down loads an app it appears on my phone as well, how do I stop this my friends think I'm changing my ways with all these girly apps apearing on my phone at random??

Hi Oxford_lad,
apart from you treating your girlfriend to well, you just have to deactivate automatic downloading!
Enabling Automatic Downloads on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores on your device.
Tap Sign In if you're not already signed in to the iTunes Store.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Tap On/Off switch to enable or disable Automatic Downloads for each content type.

HT1329 How do you deauthorize ipods that no longer work or have been stolen. What does it mean that you only have 5 devices that can download your itunes library. How do you deactivte old serial numbers and add new ones as of now we only have one ipod

Over the years we have owned many i-pods. Most of them ran out of juice or were just outdated some even stolen. As of right now I have one i-pod that should be authorized to download music from my library. I plan to get a new one. My question is how do you deactivate all the old i-pods so that i-tunes doesnt think I have all these pods downloading from my personal lbrary of music. If I get a new one and plug it in it will say you are authorized 1 or 2 or whatever it is at this point to download music from this libtary. How to I get rid of all the old devices (serial numbers) that don't draw from my i-tunes library anymore?

Ipods/iphones/ipads/apple tvs are not authorized at all.
Authorization applies ONLY to computers.
