I HATE THESE PLAYLISTS - NEVER USE THEM- WASTES MY SCREEN REAL ESTATE..

At the moment it is not possible to disable Genius Playlists on iOS devices. However, these forums are user-to-user forums and no Apple employees participate here. You would be better to submit your polite feedback via the Apple Feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

my mac is running slow, the spinning beach ball constantly appears. it seems that when i am in the apple store with fast wifi its a bit better. genius at the apple store checked the hard drive, it's all fine. what can it be? can it be a software issue with the wifi?
also i noted that it has only been doing this since quite recently, before it was fine
please help!

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
Step 1
This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|timed? ?o' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key.
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
Step 2
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Reset the System Management Controller.
Run Software Update. If there's a firmware update, install it.
If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
If you have a portable computer, check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane. See whether there's any change.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
Step 3
When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the View menu or the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for User, System, and Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the Memory tab. What value is shown in the bottom part of the window for Swap used?
Next, select the Disk tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in andWrites out.)
Step 4
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Trying to change my icloud apple id to match my itunes apple id. i lost my password and i don't have access to very old email address it keeps wanting to send my password to. please help!!! this is driving me mad!

I've been trying to change my icloud apple ID to match my itunes apple ID so i can manage my storage. I haven't turned on the cloud since i got the phone. I've forgotten my password for the icloud apple ID and i do not have access to the OLD OLD OLD email address its trying to send my password to. Can someone please tell me how i can make this change without knowing my old password??? Can't manage storage or buy more without knowing the old apple id for icloud.

Hello, nikkihutchins10.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are attempting to reset your Apple ID password. I would try resetting your password via answering the security questions instead of sending the email. The first article will walk you through that process. If you are still unable to reset your Apple ID password, see the steps in the second article.
If you forgot your Apple ID password
Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security

HT204204 My phone crashed after updating it to IOS 8. I can't use it cause its stucked on the start up menu, the apple logo with black background.

Hi to all,
I hope someone can help me. My phone crashed after updating it to IOS 8.3. I can't use it cause its stucked on the start up menu, the apple logo with black background. Even when I restart my phone, it is still stuck on the start up menu, the black background with apple logo in the middle.

Slone,
I finally decided to turn this annoyance into an opportunity. After a lot of experimenting I found that my iPad was just fine under 7.1 if I simply restored it as new. I have a lot of time on my hands and I had 1424 apps on my iPad! This is why every attempt to restore took so long.
I decided to restore as new, spend a day restoring the apps I really used. Doing so gave me a quick iPad with only bout a quarter of the storage used.
Granted it was a pain in the arse, but I wrote it off as in the old days when you had to do this with windows 95 just to keep a stable system.
I DO have some data in a few files of the now unused backup but a quick google search finds a couple Mac programs out there that will allow you go extract audio recordings, app data files etc. from the backup. I'll do that someday if I even miss the files I've probably forgotten that are there.
Anyway, there was nothing wrong with my hardware. I think there were just some troublesome setup items that 7.1 didn't like. Once set up as new, the ipad was fine.
Good luck!

What is it you need - Windows installer disc or something else? Your question is unclear. Could you be more specific?

You will need to login on the device using the same exact Apple ID that was used to download the app. You can not use abother account login to buy in app purchases to prevent fraud.
If you keep getting this warning, you are not logged into the original account.

Is it possible to change my Apple ID to match my iCloud ID?

My Apple ID is not the same as my iCloud ID.
My Apple ID is an old email address.
My iCloud ID is my current "me.com" address.
Is it possible to change my Apple ID to match my iCloud ID?
Thanks

Take a look here and see if it gives you the information you're looking for.

My purchased fims and TV shows show in menu of apple tv but will not download to view

Purchased items show in menu of apple tv but will not download to view. There is an indication of 1 hour 45 mins before able to view

Movies are currently a one time download. Because of this, it is your responsibility to back them up so when something like this happens, you can simply copy them over the new drive.
You can't download them again with purchasing once again.

How to edit drop-down contacts menu in apple mail?

I would appreciate if someone could tell me where I can edit the drop-down contacts menu in apple mail? I'm talking about which email address suggestions appear when you start to type a name of a contact. I've done it in the past but have unfortunately forgotten where to access this list.

If you are asking about addresses that are not in your Address Book, they are listed in Windows > Previous Recipients.

Sending Genius info to Apple after upgrade to version 10.2 - taking forever

I updated to version 10.2 yesterday. This morning I found that it was sending Genius information to Apple (my iMac is on 24/7) - it has been doing this now for at least 4.5 hours.
I do have a very large library that is made up mostly of movies (783) and TV programmes (1446 episodes) - in fact my iTunes library is on a Drobo and currently stands at 2.79TB. Still, what info could it be sending that would take so long? Or, is it simply stuck in a never ending loop?

I'm just glad this happened before I went out and bought and iPad. I was very happy with the iPod despite the fact that it doesn't run Flash and the only way to get anything into it is through iTunes. Now It seems that Apple really isn't any better than Microsoft. They BROKE a perfectly good product and now it seems that their support forums are just a place where the customers can talk about how good their stuff USED to work before the 'upgrade'.
There doesn't even appear to be an Apple rep on these forums. We might as well be posting at hackers.com.

Genius says my numbers don't match and the phone has been tampered with. Can anybody help?

I have an iPhone4S 64Gb, which I bought from the Apple Store in Covent Garden in December 2011. Recently it developed a problem where it won't shut down (it restarts itself) and the battery life has deteriorated significantly. Having read about this in this Forum, this seems to be a known issue, and a replacement is needed.
Sure enough, the Genius Bar at Covent Garden took one look at it and wanted to replace it. But then there was a problem. Apparently, one of the serial numbers on the phone (the chassis) does not match the ones on sim tray and software. The Genius (Barry) and his manager (Adam) both said that this could only be a result of tampering or non-Apple servicing. They say the chassis part comes from a batch which originated in Bulgaria.
What??!!
My phone has not been touched by anybody but me since I bought it in December. There's no way I would let a non-authorised dealer touch it - I know full well that it would void the warranty, wouldn't trust it, and anyway I've always had a really good Genius Bar experience. More importantly, it's been fine - no need.
So, what then? Their hypothesis is that somebody has tampered with my phone without my knowledge. As is probably true for many iPhone users, my phone is not far behind my wedding tackle in the extent to which I am attached to it, indeed it spends a lot more time in my hand and line of sight. The idea that somebody could have had access to my phone for long enough to have opened it up and resealed it, having changed parts, without my knowing, is completely absurd. I just don't believe it.
And why would they? If you're going to steal a phone, then steal it. Barry's theory is that some people steal legitimate serial numbers in order to qualify for Apple servicing. Really? Wouldn't they still have a phone with mismatched serial numbers that Apple then wouldn't touch? It seems utterly far-fetched.
In short, I have no idea how Apple managed to supply me with what appears to be a dodgy handset. Supply chain failure, admin failure, I don't know. I know that it hasn't been 'serviced' by anybody, but I can tell that Barry and Adam don't believe me. They believe that the fact of mismatched serial numbers are incontrovertible evidence of tampering. (I'm minded to point out that they opened up the phone out of my sight, hence becoming the only people with the opportunity - and expertise - to do exactly what they're alleging has been done).
The issue is now with Corporate Customer Servcies. I'm not hugely optimistic.
Has anybody out there experienced anything similar? Can anybody offer any theories (preferably without straying into corporate conspiracy fantasies) as to how the numbers may have become mismatched?
Grateful for any help.

I'm still in "recovery mode" after a huge fight with our local Applestore.
About 6 weeks ago, my wife's 13 month old iPhone 4S developed the "won't turn off" fault and was replaced, out of warranty, for a fee of £139 and with a 90 day warranty.
About two weeks after that we realised that there was a sound problem when trying to use Facetime (the person on the other end couldn't hear us) but as we have ipads in the household, we didn't immediately persue it and assumed it was down to some setting problem.
Two weeks ago my wife was shooting some video with the phone, something we hadn't done before and on playback there was no sound. We realised then that the phone probably had hardware issues and arranged to take it back to the store for repair or replacement.
I wasn't anticipating any problem when they said that it was a hardware issue and assumed that a replacement would be supplied.
They looked inside an found that a dozen screws were missing and all the EM shielding that's normally screwed in place was also missing. On this basis, they refused to repair or replace. Things got a little tense after that.
I KNOW that we didn't remove any parts. I find it impossible to believe that even if a third party had obtained access to my wife's phone, that they would have opened the phone, removed the screws and EM screens (including the one that has the QR code serial number), put it back together and then returned it to its original position.
As I repeated ad nauseum to the manager of the store, the only possible other option was that the phone was supplied in that condition. After an hour and a half of arguing, sometimes quite loudly and refusing to leave the store until they replaced the handset, they caved in.
I don't believe that Apple quality control is 100% accurate. In fact I'm sure that no manufacturer's QC is. How our handset slipped through the net I don't know but it did.
I don't know whether this story will help you in any way but I hope you get your problem resolved

No more MOVIE menu in apple tv since new software update today! 12-12-2012

Hello, I did a new software update of my apple tv today and now the menu "MOVIE" is missing on the main page. I already rebooted the device but the problem still persists.
Do you have any feedback how I can fix this issue?? thank you

@Surfbroad you've probably done the following, but as @IpadinParadise has suggested, can you confirm that you're selecting the HDMI input on the TV that's Apple TV is connected to? Also, is the audio playing fine while the screen's black?
If you've made sure that the input setting you've selected on your TV matches the input you have your video cables connected to, then change the Apple TV resolution by pressing and holding the "Menu" and "Up" button for six seconds. The Apple TV will automatically cycle to the next resolution at approximately 20 second intervals. Pressing the "Select" button will immediately cycle to the next resolution. This should choose the appropriate/compatible resolution for your TV automatically.
If the above doesn't work, and if your Apple TV is 1st generation, try component cables instead (and disconnect the HDMI cable temporarily).

A "genius" at an Apple store told me to delete the photos from my documents folder and trash them and I would still be able to keep them in iPhoto. Now I cannot use the photos other than in the iPhoto file. Can this be undone?

How can I retreive deleted iPhotos which were deleted from the documents and trash files? I stupidly did this because a "genius" from Apple Store assured me that I would still have access to the photos.

Check iPhoto's Advanced preference pane to see if it's set to a referenced or managed library;
If it's set to a referenced library you photos are gone.
If that's the case they might be able to be recovered with a file recovery app like SubrosaSoft FileSalvage. It will run in demo mode so you can see if it can recover your photos before having to purchase it. Use the iMac as little as possible till them so as not to overwrite them.
If it's set to a managed library launch iPhoto with the Option+Command keys held down and rebuild the library's databse file.
What verson of iPhoto and system are you running?
