Hi, my apple password keeps reinitializing alone ... each time I have to reset it why is that ?

Hi,
Well I think everything's in the title ..
Sometimes, let's say every 2 weeks, I receive an e-mail saying that my apple password has been changed and I can't connect to the apple store anymore ..
Then I have to reset my password and 2 weeks after I get the same message ...
Thanks,
M Berger

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

My wireless connection (MacBook Pro) keeps on randomly turning off every 2-3 minutes and each time I have to reset connection to my personal network

Hey
I just got a new MacBook Pro a few days ago and set it up on my home wireless network. But the Wi-Fi keeps on switching off and on randomly - literallly every 2 minutes or so - and I have to check my personal network again so I could get back online. I looked through settings and network preferences/diagnostics to make sure I set up my own network account right and all looks normal.
Why does Wi-Fi switch off/on so often and so randomly? what can I do?
Thanks in advance for the help!

There is a small PRAM battery (different from the main battery) on the logic board that maintains those settings. Yours needs to be replaced. You can try to do it yourself, but I suggest you have it done at an Apple Store or another authorized service outlet.

Dear Sir, Miss, I just created an Apple id, but each time I try to verify it, it says that there is allready an account on my e-mailadress

I just created an Apple id, but each time I try to verify it, it says that there is allready an account on my e-mailadress, this while it is the first time I registred. How do I have to do this? Thanks!
<Email Edited by Host>

Why am I sometimes asked to verify my Apple ID by email?
When you create a new Apple ID or make certain changes to your account, Apple will require you to sign in by following the link in a verification email. This is to help protect your identity and keep your account secure. Some Apple services, such as FaceTime and GameCenter, require email validation.
How do I verify my Apple ID by email?
Simply follow the link in the verification email that says "Verify Now." Sign in with your current Apple ID and password, then click Verify Address. You can also verify by signing in at My Apple ID. You'll receive an email prompting you to verify.

HELP!! My Apple "MAIL" app. unexpectedly quits each time I open it.

My Apple "MAIL" app. unexpectedly quits each time I open it.
It will begin to load my mail, show the mailboxes and new e-mails and then all of a sudden quit.
I searched some of the Apple support and forums and have tried these things:
1. I trashed the "com.apple.mail.plist" preference file in the pref. folder.
2. I did an archieve install with Tiger OSX on my entire System Folder.
3. I erased my user>library>"mail folder"
4. I tried holding the shift key upon opening the program as suggested here but to no avail: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=479497&tstart=0
This has not resolved the problem. The program still quits every time I open it.
Pleeeeease help!!!!!!!!! DO YOU THINK I HAVE A VIRUS???

A few of the messages I deleted (the last 2 days) now say
"You need to take this account online in order to download it."
If this is the result of having deleted the *.emlx files manually, you're probably seeing this error message because there is still a reference to them in Envelope Index.
Is there anyway to tell Mail to re-download these
mail files and reconnect them?
If they're still on the server, yes. Choose Get Info (⌘I) from the Action menu located below the mailboxes list in the main Mail window to open the Account Info window -- type "Account Info" in the search field of Mail Help for more information on this feature. Now, choose the account that has the problem from the Account popup menu at the top of the window. Does Mail display there the messages that are missing? What type of account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)?

HT1229 How do you transfer photos to external backup and keep the photos in events with event name or with description name. Each time I have tried to transfer them they only transfer with a jpg number so you don't know what photos are what.

How do you transfer photos to external backup and keep the photos in events with event name or with description name. Each time I have tried to transfer them they only transfer with a jpg number so you don't know what photos are what. When you have several thousand photos it is difficult to determined what is what.
Why does iPhoto have the ability to put photos in events and to give them descriptions if it doesn't transfer this info with the photo. I want to back my photos up to an external drive.

The simplest way to achieve what you want is to back up the iPhoto Library. That will get everything.
You sem to be exporting from iPhoto to the Finder. The Finder does not have the same organisation capabilities as iPhoto. If you're going to do that you need to understand some of the differences between the two.
Event Name will become Folder Name.
'Description Name' I guess is the Title you give the Photo
Jpeg Number is the File Name assigned by your camera.
So: File -> Export
Set your Kind to Jpeg
Select your preferred Quality
Check the Boxes at 'Titles and Descriptions' and Location Information
Under FIlename select 'Use Title'
Click on Export. In the Next Window choose a New Folder as your export destination and then Name that as you prefer

HT1600 my apple television keeps stopping during the movie, i have a good internet connection but cant understand why?

My apple tv keeps stopping during the movie, I have a good internet connection but cant understand why?

The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this atwww.speedtest.net.
1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

My apple password stopped working this morning and I had to reset it. Why did this happen?

When I got up this morning my apple password no longer worked and I had to reset it. Why did this happen? Do I need to be worried about my account being compromised?

Only other users here. Apple is not here. Apple does not answer questions here. We have no idea about why the password stopped working.

Is anyone else experiencing password issues? Every few weeks I have to reset mine and I'm writing them down!

If you are receiving repeated password reset e-mails, there are two possibilities.
One is that they are simply phishing e-mails. Do not click on any links in those e-mails, and do not respond to them in any way.
The other is that someone is trying to hack your Apple ID. You can prevent that by enabling two-factor authentication:
Apple introduces two-factor authentication
This will prevent anyone from even attempting a password reset without entering a special code that only you will have, and should keep in a very safe place.

Each time my iPad updates it looses all applications that I have downloaded

Each time, Apple sends message to download new updates, I comply. Each time, it confirms that it is backing up my current iPad. Each time it dumps my music, and every app I have purchased and each time I have to reload everything manually. Is this system of downloads that bad or am I to ingnore all future updates? Please advise, a very unhappy 3 apple device owner.

I agree with Rudegar.
Check the Apple ID used by iTunes on your computer to make sure if it is the same Apple ID beings used by your iPad.

Document download folder is appearing each time we print and would like to change that setting so it does not default to that.

We are running a software application and using Firefox as the default browser. For printing we have set the default to Adobe PDF due to some printing requirements for the documents we use. We print a lot of documents and each time we have to the Download history window appear and we have to close or minimize that. Is there a way to change the default settings for that not to appear or to eliminate that functionality?

With the change in Firefox 20 from the old Download Manager to the new Download Panel, I thought you would only get the automatic appearance one time: for the first download on the new system, so you could see the connection between the arrow on the toolbar and the download panel. Have you overridden the new panel and gone back to the old dialog?

Each time I have a message ''please wait while windows configures iTunes''.

when i start my itunes each time i have a message ''please wait while windows configures iTunes''. i recently Upgrad to 9.0.2. i already uninstall and install.
pls help me.
thank you in advance .

when i start my itunes each time i have a message ''please wait while windows configures iTunes''.
The iTunes desktop shortcut is an "advertised shortcut". When you click it, the first thing it does is check the iTunes.msi and determines (against the installation database in there) whether or not there's any files and registry entries and whatnot for iTunes missing on your PC. If it finds something missing, it'll do a repair install of iTunes, which is the "configures" message you're seeing.
As to why it's always doing it in your case, and fixing it ... we'd better first work out if there's real damage to the iTunes stuff on the PC or if the shortcut/itunes.msi/registry machinery is just a bit confused.
Apart from the "configures" message you're getting every time you launch iTunes, is it working okay? Are you able to sync, play music, use the Store and so forth without any trouble? Or are you getting other problems as well?

I have an Acrobat 8 which is all I need. Installed on my new computer which is using Windows 8. Each time I open Acrobat I get a window that say unable to registrator. It gives me three options try again, redo, never register.

I have an Acrobat 8 which is all I need. Installed on my new computer which is using Windows 8. Each time I open Acrobat I get a window that say unable to registrator. It gives me three options try again, redo, never register. No matter which option I choose I cannot stop the window from opening each time I open the computer.
Any suggestions?

Probably far too old to register. Sounds like a bug, stopping the "never" selection from working. You may be stuck with it.
