Help please on Security stuff
For some reason Itunes keeps asking me to verify my account by asking me my security questions to download or buy anything. The problem is i forget the answers and i know i dont have them writen down anywhere. Is there a way to re-set the questions and answer so i am able to download my music?

Help please: Combo Security Update 2008-004 Ver.1 and Safari 3.1.2 update
hi, same issues as everyone else after downloading Combo Security Update 2008-004 Ver.1 and Safari 3.1.2 update, just hanging on blue "loading mac osx", no password screen comes up. i did not have an error like some others when downloading except at the end when it said my startup memory was low, i closed that screen and tried to reboot. that's where i meet everyone else's problem.
I DO NOT HAVE A TIGER START-UP DISK. (i bought my mac a year ago on ebay and the software was installed.
i need help from beginning to end because i am not very mac saavy. thank you. ~lauraThe next step would be using the Install Disk to either change the Passwords, or do an Archive & Install if you had enough free space, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc...

But it looks like we'll have to take a chance on this, applesetupdone...

"OK, restart your computer, hold down Command-s and type in the following:
/sbin/fsck -y Enter
/sbin/mount -uaw Enter
rm /var/db/.applesetupdone Enter
1. The rm command is the remove command which deletes the file.
2. Robert: I'd rename the file via: mv /var/db/.applesetupdone /var/db/.applesetupdone.old
reboot Enter
Once you've done that the computer reboots and it's like the first time you used the machine. Your old accounts are all safe. From there you just change all other account passwords in the account preferences!!

Could you help please ? I forgot my security questions answer
Hello to evewryone ! Could you help please ? I forgot my security questions answers !
The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
It is suggested that you contact Itunes Customer Support and ask that they transfer your issue to the Account Security Team to reset the questions so that you may configure them again.

File Security on Portal - Help Please urgent
Hello all,
I need an urgent help on File Security on Portal.
suppose we have 5 .PDF files in a perticular directory on the portal server. I want to have J2EE engine check if the user is already logged into portal or not. If the user is not logged in I want to throw logon screen asking them to Login. If the user is logged in I want to show the document directly.
How to configure these things. Please help me.
Thanks and regards,
Vasu Pabbaraju.Hi,
instead of storing Your files into the portal server's filesystem You could store them into KM.
If the file "dummy.pdf" is stored into the KM folder "/documents/test", You could call it via
http(s)://<potal server>:<port>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/test/dummy.pdf
The portal will ask for a login before displaying the document.
Best Regards

help please what can i do i have a apple id that i have had scince i was in year 6 i have recently been unable to buy music or apps unless they are free because it asks for these security questions that i have no idea what the awnser is help me please
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page should let you reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use -

I had 10$ gift card that works only on US. I redeemed the gift card but back in the game i get buy stuff and it says "you cant buy in US store you must swich bla bla bla" i dont want ti swich because the 10 $ works only at the US store. Help please.
Hello SBentley22,
I can only imagine how upset I would be to discover that over $1000 in gift card funds seemed to be missing. I certain that I would not do well with the additional complications that you've described either. I apologize for you and your boyfriend having to cope with this situation. Certainly this was never our goal.
I was unable to locate the purchases or returns that you mention using the information you provided when you signed up for Best Buy Unboxed. I would very much like to look into this situation for you and do what I can to help, but I will need more information to begin. If you will please send me a private message that includes your full name, telephone number, and the Customer Service PIN from the receipt where the gift card was issued, I'll get started with my research.
Please know that I'm extremely grateful that you took the time to bring your situation to our attention. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
John|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

i forgot my security questions and i don't know what to do to reset them because i can't answer them, help please!!
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Mail will not send messages. Help please: it receives OK but parks my outbound stuff in either Drafts or Outbox
Thanks for your answer. Apprciate it very much. Just prior to receiving your email, I got back online. However, as I had tried what you suggested (and a lot more as I am 'reasonably' competent), and had been so doing since yesterday afternoon, I do believe that what you suggested was correct - that it was my third rate ISP that was at fault.
Nevertheless, many thanks once again.

I can't get a rescue email to reset my security questions. I clicked the link but there's no massages in my inbox alternate email. Help please :(
You are checking your rescue email account - an alternate/secondary email address is a different setting/address on an iTunes account. If it's not in the spam nor inbox then you could try requesting it again, or contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
