How can I stay on the Support Communities without signing in all the time?
Thanks
You will be signed out as soon as you quit the browser, or within around 5-10 minutes of closing the window. The only way to stay signed in is to keep a window open all the time, either working in other tabs, or minimizing it and then going on with something else in a new window. It's a pest, but that's the way it is.

How can I change my Apple Support Communities Name?
How can I change my Apple Support Communities Name? I want to change it because I made it a long time ago and want a different name. I want to start using Apple Support Communities a lot more and start helping people, But I want a different name.
It is possible he was incorrect.
> When you signed up you were not given the opportunity to create an alias? I find that hard to believe given the number of people who have joined since that have there own alias. Apple assigned xdcdx to you?
Yes, back on 2007 I chose xdcdx.
Forward to 2011: I change the email address of my Apple ID to my current email address.
I login to Apple Support Communities (which I had not logged in to since 2007) and to my surprise I see this nickname that I almost didn't remember using here.
For me, it's irrational that I am able to change the main email address of my Apple ID (is there any piece of information more important than that?), but not this little username on this subpar forum system (subpar because of the web design/engineering, I don't mean to offend all the people here which are always quite helpful).
I upgrade to iCloud, and my email address gets hardcoded to my Apple ID. That's good, because I want this email address. In that case, they make sure to warn you that you had to chose an email address as an Apple ID for iCloud. That was not the case in this forums.
> In the link that you provided Tuttle did a better job than I did as to the difficulty factor. Not sure why you were linking it.
>
> You don't have to move to a new company to have new software or a new system.

> How many million participants does StackOverflow have? Size matters.
How many million participants have these forums?
At least you do not seem to disagree with me that these forum are subpar compared to the usual Apple perfectionism level (see iCloud nice web user interface, for another fine example). This thing still looks like a forum from 2007.
> Yes on an extremely limited basis Apple has made the change for longtime users (only two that I know of) with one of those a request for security reasons. That does not mean it is easy.
I still am not convinced that it is technically that difficult. I think it just a policy on part of Apple to avoid banal username change requests.
In part, I am not more active in this forums because I do not want my words to be associated to this nickname, becayse it is used on internet by tons of other people for other stuff, as a Google result will show.
Anyway, thanks for your words. I'll keep looking from time to time for the username change feature, because I do want to contribute to these forums. -
how can i retrieve texts from an earlier back up without changing all the other settings on my iphone?
You can't. Restoring from a backup is all or none.
You can use a utility such as this one to extract the messages from the backup on your computer but you can't re-transfer the messages to the Messages app on your iPhone.

i think my iphone 4s has a damaged software because it locks the phone always and powers it off without touching the power button. how can i rectify this problem?? i already tried erasing all the settings and content of the phone. thanks..!
This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3. -
How can I uninstall yosemite and reinstall Loin with out losing all my in formation and programs
How can I uninstall Yosemite and reinstall Loin with out losing all my in formation and programsThis had been the worst os system apple has come out, too many errors
too many to list.
a few
Losing all mail. and watching them disappear in front of my eyes and could nothing about it
also when accessing cloud the screen just rolls in when accessing mail, like loading and loading and loading for 1 to 2 minuets.
I did not up grade my Mac Book Pro, and is working fine,
Just my iMac, its act kile avid card and it only happens access iCloud mail.
so I want to and need to go back to LoinYou can't unless you have a current backup of your old Lion system because the first thing you must do is erase the drive. It 's possible to use Target Disk Mode between your iMac and the MBP in order to clone the MBP to the iMac. However, that will still erase everything on the iMac's drive.
Or you could see about getting Yosemite to work correctly. If you have IMAP mail, then your mail should be intact.
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Download and install the 10.10.1 update.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Download and install the 10.10.1 update.
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

Using PowerShell 3.0 (And if possible the CIM, not WMI cmdlet), how can I script with | out-file C:\<filename>.txt or .csv option to list all local user accounts & local groups
on remote computers?
Thank You!I don't recall PowerShell V3 introducing anything new to handle local users and groups. You need to use PowerShell V1 methods, using the [ADSI] accelerator and the WinNT: provider. The scripts linked above show this. No need to use WMI (which would probably
be slower).
Here is a script I've used to enumerate all local groups and their members:
$Computer
= "MyServer"
$Computer =
[ADSI]"WinNT://$Computer"
$Groups =
$Computer.psbase.Children | Where {$_.psbase.schemaClassName
-eq "group"}
ForEach ($Group
In $Groups)
"Group: "
+ $Group.Name
$Members
= @($Group.psbase.Invoke("Members"))
ForEach ($Member
In $Members)
$Class
= $Member.GetType().InvokeMember("Class",
'GetProperty', $Null,
$Member, $Null)
$Name
= $Member.GetType().InvokeMember("Name",
'GetProperty', $Null,
$Member, $Null)
"-- Member: $Name ($Class)"
A similar script to enumerate all local users would be:
$Computer
= "MyServer"
$Computer =
[ADSI]"WinNT://$Computer"
$Users =
$Computer.psbase.Children | Where {$_.psbase.schemaClassName
-eq "user"}
ForEach ($User
In $Users)
"User: "
+ $User.Name

Someone PLEASE help me! I cant figure out what is going on with my computer. I don't install anything weird, but my brother does. He's very good at computer tech stuff and is in I.T, but I cant help but blame him for all the problems my Mac is having. Nothing works like it should. My safari will randomally crash, my screen will randomally turn back, my iphoto will crash during uploading from my iPhone, I cant highlight anything, I can't drag anything. When I want to click on something, I have to click over and over again just for it to even register. I know everything is up to date and recently reset my PRAM. I'm running Lion and have a lot of room on my hardrive. I have an external harddrive and I'm wondering if I should just move all of my important files over to it and completly wipe out my computer's hardrive and start from scratch.
Some folks can't leave well enough alone, and insist on downloading all sorts of additional "stuff" that ends up making their Mac unstable.
Standard Mac OS X on properly-operating Hardware does not crash, unless you start installing too many add-ons.
You can run "just the basics" by holding down the Shift key at Startup. This does one pass of Disk Repair, then loads a minimal set of extensions, and comes up in Safe Mode. If it works OK that way, but crashes in "regular", it's the add-ons.
There ia another layer of add-on junk that can be added to Safari. If the only remaining problem is Safari crashing, those add-ons can be disabled as well. -
may be in the office with a password, and give the other free for the rest of the users without password, the master password didn't help here I mean, or the handling for this is not clear to see for me
There is no full or partial password protection that is really more than an inconvenience.
You could however use the operating system permissions, but again whole application would be the result.
I have heard of updates occasionally reverting to English, an install will set it back. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/all.html as data and program are separate reinstalling will not be an issue. -
I have tried all the steps as suggested by the community partners i.e. uninstall/reinstall itunes (number of times). If I plug my ipad 2 on my office PC which has itunes, it is recognised immediately. My lap top does not show 'NEW HARDWARE FOUND" as iPad. It just says new hardware found and shows scanner and camera hardware recognised. In my opinion there could be programme file which is having conflict with ipad 2 recognisation. I am surprised to find that APPLE has not yet come out with straightforward steps for stting up procedures to avoid this recognition issue. It is waste of time and causing lot of aggravation among iPad 2 purchasers.
Sounds like it could be your computer and not Apple. Sounds like some registry issues and/or other underlying problems.

It also tells me Choose iTunes Library

Once you get a complete iTunes folder on the external drive, start iTunes with the option/alt key held down and select the iTunes Library.itl file on the external drive. You will also need to do this with your main computer or the libraries will become unsynchronized.
Alternatively you can make a separate library using the same media on the second computer. Start as you have been doing, let iTunes create a new, blank library file which will be on hte internal drive, set the media folder location in preferences to be the one on the external drive, then add the files to the new iTunes library. Unless you are a super-organized individual, or you don't care if your libraries do not have the same content, you are better off using a single library file that is on the external, not setting up separate library files. -

I can barely hear my ringer or Siri with my volume set all the way up.
I can barely hear my ringer and it's turned all the way up. I can't hear Siri at all but I can visually see that it's working. The ringer is completely silent when I turn the volume down two bars.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. If that doesn't work, create a backup then restore AS NEW. If it still doesn't work after restoring & wiping everything off, take it to an ARS or call tech support to get it replaced. Don't worry, all of your info will be backed up if you follow the steps in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
