Hey everyone, im trying to factory restore a mac i just bought. but its saying my apple id is incorrect, so i made a new one but its saying the new one hasnt been used with itunes, what can i do to fix this?

Please help!

If you bought it used, try the internet recovery suggested - using Command + Option + R and then wiping your drive before reinstalling is the only way to disassociate the OS and apps from the previous owner's Apple ID. You can then add your own apps, upgrade, etc. using your own Apple ID.
If it's new, then there is an entirely different problem as your Apple ID should work.

    That is not an Apple or OS X issue, I'd suggest contacting the modem manufacturer to see what the issue might be.

    You can use the Tab key to select a search engine on the bottom bar and press Enter to use the search engine to do the search.

    In the current Firefox 34 release there is a new "one-off" search bar.
    This search bar doesn't show the name of the search engine and a logo.
    You can type one letter to make a drop-down list appear where you can see suggestions and see the used search engine and that also has bar at the bottom where you can select other search engines that are enabled via the Search tab in Options/Preferences.
    You can use the Tab key to select one of the other available search engines and press the Enter key to search with the selected search engine.
    Click the search engine icon and click "Change Search Settings" to open the Search tab in Options/Preferences (positioned between Tabs and Content) to select the default search engine and select which search engines to show in the search bar drop-down list that opens when you start typing search terms.

  • I recently upgraded my iPod touch 5th gen to iOS 7.1, and now whenever I open up my gamecenter, the "friends" and "games" tab never stop loading, and it also won't log in when I play games that use gamecenter. What can I do to fix this issue?

    I have already tried turning the power off and back on, holding the home and power button for ten seconds and shutting it off that way, and disconnecting from the wifi. None if those fixed the problem. However, resetting all of the settings did actually fix this issue, but then when I turn the ipod off and on again the issue is back. I don't want to have to keep resetting the settings on a daily basis, so what else can I do to fix this bug? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  • CANNON EOS 7D get message as "cannot connect with battery" What can i do to fix this problem?

     when i turn on the camera  and its trying to read the battery the message i get is " cannot connect with battery"  i thought it was a defective battery and went out and bought a new one and still kept getting the same message.  what can i do ? Does anybody been through this situation from what i hear this is common on the CANNON EOS 7D models only why is that?

    Yes! It is a factory defect and Canon should recall 7D and 60D for this problem in stead to charge $230 for their own quality issue. I have 7D and not using it that often, it shows the same error message. Cleaning can not fix it at all! It was the soldering bad point at the battery and the little circuit board next to it, based on an engineer who repaired it by himself. Canon pro's: If you guys are cate about the Name of Canon then take these cameras back and fix them for free! Otherwise, the customers will switch to Nikon soon.

  • I no longer see my WD passport on the desktop and the time machine no longer backs up.  What can I do to fix this?  Thank you

    I haven't had my iMac backed up in quite awhile because my WD passport is not being recognized.  I went to disk utility to set it up again, but get the message "No configured AirPort base stations have been found."  I've even did the simple thing of turning off my machine, unplugging the WD passport and then replugging it in after a rebooting. Nothing!  What have I done to mess this up and can it be fix?  Thank you for any help you can give.
    I wasn't sure what info you might need:
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11GB63b)
    Processor GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    4 GB 1067 MHz Ram
    WD Passport for Mac 1T

    Is the WD drive plugged into the Mac directly or into the Airport??
    If it is in the airport.. unplug it and plug it back into the Mac.. you cannot use Disk Utility on remote drives.
    The WD could be dead.. Disk utility should show you.

  • Downloaded xcode and at the end i got a mounting failed message, what can i do to fix this?

    I downloaded xcode 3-1.2.6 and ios sdk 4.3 and at the end i got a mounting failed message.

    If the message was something like "no mountable filesystem," then your download was corrupt. Try again.

  • Hello, I have my PC connected to my HDTV and when viewing websites on firefox, the websites are too small to read. What can I do to fix this. I have already tried dling the No Squint add-on, but some websites are still distorted. Thanks for you help

    My PC specs:
    Intel Core 2 Quad 2.5GHz
    Nvidia 9800GT video card
    Seagate 600gb hardrive
    The TV is a Philips 720p (Not exactly sure what model it is)

    You can increase the String pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx from 1.0 to 2.0 in 0.1 steps to see what works best.
    In Firefox 3.6 and later this pref is a String value parsed to a float and allows to fine tune the dimensions of all elements more precisely.
