  • How can you tell which computer that is authorized as the master?

    I have several computers that I have connected my iPhone to. How can I tell which computer I should connect to before updating the operating system? I don't want to loss data if I don't have to.

    I am not that familiar with Apple and iTunes and was getting help from someone who said that I can plug my iPhone into my computers but that I would have to authorize the iPhone on each but the limit is 5.
    This is not accurate.
    You can authorize up to 5 computers with the same iTunes account. There is no device limit for the number of iPods, iPads, and iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer.
    An iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on one computer only, and photos can be transferred from one computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first.
    This is why I asked - you have connected your iPhone to each one of these computers for what?
    I was not sure which computer I first used. Is there a simple way to check?
    No, or I would have provided that with my first reply.
    If you connect your iPhone to a "non-master" computer to install the update, you will be provided a warning.
    How many computers are you talking about? If 5 or less, this should take you no more than 10 minutes to determine which computer you transferred music and photos from.

  • HT1420 how can you tell which computer is authorized inorder to reauthorize?

    HI I just purchased a new mac. I previously had a pc.  I just went to itunes to play a song.  When I went to log in, it told me that I had 5 authorized users on the account already.  How can I tell who the 5 are or choose which one to deauthorize?

    No, you cannot.
    About De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    Also, see iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.

  • How can I tell which apps or programs are open at any time. At a recent visit to the Genius at my local Apple store, the "Genius" told me that too many apps or programs are running in the background. I'm using Mountain Lion on a McBook Pro

    I was told that my Mac has to work extra hard because there are too many apps and/or programs open in the background. How can one tell what is open?? It must be something which is not normally visible to the user??
    Hans

    Thanks, I have looked at that several times but I can't detect any one item which would indicate overusage. The small chart (indicator bars) are much on the low side and the onse which show are basically green? Not sure what the person at the Genius Bar saw so I'm somewhat puzzled.

  • Sync merged my browsing history, how can I tell on which device page was opened ?

    My browsing history was merged after syncing devices.
    Now, when viewing merged history, how can I distinguish on which device page was originally opened ?
    It is possible to add many columns to the history view, but unfortunately there is no 'Device name' among them.

    Sorry, Right now firefox don't have that option..

  • How can you tell if you Whats App msge on iPhone 4s

    I have an iPhone 4s, how do I know I have a Whats App msge?  My old Nokia flashed and gave a msge tone, iPhone doesn't, very annoying

    hi guys,
    i recently bought a new iphone 4s factory unlocked. in order to avoid sim failures and invalid sim errors or No service errors, Each phone has to be unlocked by connecting it to the Itunes.
    Kindly follow the below steps to avoid any SIM card conflicts
    iPhone FULL Unlock - How it Works:
    -Connect your iphone to itunes without any network sim inside and when connected click on the iphones name.
    - Click Restore install latest version of iTunes on your Pc or Mac or click check for updates
    - Let itunes Backup your phone and then Flash to the Latest Version.
    - Now disconnect phone and reconnect after 10 seconds.
    - Now Enter another network simcard that's not the same network its locked on to
    - Connect phone to iTunes with not accepted (not valid) simcard
    - Wait until iTunes detects the phone
    - iTunes will display (Congratulations, Your iPhone is now unlocked)
    - Phone Unlocked
    - just follow the instructions about activating the Iphone.
    and iphone is unlocked
    NOTE : This is the only FULL LIFE TIME UNLOCK solution for Apple iPhone as the IMEI is registered as UNLOCKED in Apple database.
    This solution should be used ONLY THOSE WHO BOUGHT FACTORY UNLOCKED iPHONE 4S.
    Your phone will always be unlocked even after each new update of your phone firmware !
    All reasons given like bad IMEI series, manufacturing defects etc blah blah are not logical as everything was tested before every sale.

  • How can I tell if a sound is playing in Flex application?

    Hi All,
    Simple question but I can't seem to find an answer to. How can I tell if my Flex application is currently playing sounds from a SWF file?
    What I'm trying to do is load a SWF file dynamically into my Flex app. However, these SWF files have sounds in them and they don't seem to stop even after I unload the SWF files.
    I'm trying to get around this by stopping all sounds using the flash.media.SoundMixer.stopAll() but it's getting called too early, before the SWF files are fully loaded and rendered in the application.
    I searched around and it seems like many people are having issues with this. Maybe someone can help me find a solution.
    Thanks,
    Colin

    In player 10 you can use unloadAndStop()

  • How can I tell whether my airport extreme is a third or fourth generation and what's the difference?

    Is there a desernable difference between the airport extreme third generation and fourth? How can you tell which one you have?

    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the AirPort Extreme
    Information about the device will be displayed in the area to the right
    The 3rd Generation product was the first Apple simultaneous dual band router, introduced in March 2009.

The 4th Generation version was introduced in October 2009.

  • How can I tell what is "Auto Launching"

    User's (me) tech background:
    Fairly technical user here, but getting pretty rusty. In a past life (late '90s) I was a network administrator as well as server admins for NT 4, Novell (up to 4.11), AIX, and HP-UX servers. Used to be really good at a command prompt ($ or #) in AIX and HP-UX as well as MS DOS. I do have ROOT enabled on my Macs and I am not afraid to use it. However, I know how severe the consequences can be (trashed a customer's AIX server once using a -R switch in the root directory), so I am extremely cautious and must be confident of the instruction. Can probably fix most anything with some guidance........
    Here is the problem........ I have recently developed an error on boot, say within the last couple of weeks, where it tells me that some Vista application won't run because VM Ware will not initialize. The problem is VM Ware is not loaded on this computer (15" MBP model 8.2, i7 processor, 16MB of RAM, OS 10.7.4........ bought as a "refurb", never had a problem, have used this workstation for several months now). Boot Camp is not configured on this machine either. Nothing is in the Dock that would knowingly trigger this. When I go into System Information, I find nothing set as a "Startup Item" (screen shot attached) , making me think that I am looking in the wrong place. Where should I be looking?
    Interesting enough, when I go to System Information, and look under "Applications", I do see a lot of Vista items, including apps from an older MBP that I do not connect to (on same network, they have "rights" to connect, I just never do as there is nothing on there I need). I have attached a screen shot of this as well.
    Please, someone, can you give me some advice here?
    How can I tell where this auto loading of this Vista app is coming from
    How do I get rid of it
    Why did it happen "suddenly"?
    Can I go into System Info/Applications and delete any Vista or VM Ware apps?
    If I cannot do this via "System Info" can I remove (rm OR mv) the files from whichever system directory stores this data?
    This is puzzling and quite concerning. I would be deeply grateful if there is a "Yoda" out there that knows how to fix this.......
    Thanks in advance,
    Bill

        Managing your data usage is very important Bag02231958. I would like to thank ttipgem for the great suggestion to see what is using data on your phone. However, when you access the internet, social media apps, stream data, videos, music, etc. that uses data on your phone. Unfortunately, we do not have a list of what specifically is being accessed on the device to incur data. You do have the ability to view data records and time frames online via My Verizon http://bit.ly/xB4iTc

  • HT5228 How can I tell if my  computer has been infected with the Trojan?

    How can I tell if my computer has been infected with this latest Trojan (or with any Trojan)?  I did install the latest update to Java when I was told by my iMac that new software was available for my computer, which was just 2 or 3 days ago (first week of April).  Now it is being said that there was a Java Trojan.
    Many thanks for any replies!

    Log out and log back in, if you haven’t done so recently. 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.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Step 1
    Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
    launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES
    Post the lines of output, if any, that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
    Step 2
    Repeat with this line (triple-click anywhere in it to select the whole line):
    find /Applications /System/Library/CoreServices -type d -name *.app -exec defaults read {}/Contents/Info LSEnvironment \; 2> /dev/null | grep DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    If you get no output from either step, you're not infected with any variant of Flashback that I know of.

  • Imac back from repair - how can I tell what tech did?

    Got my imac out of repair today from CompUSA. The Apple tech wasn't there when I picked it up so I could't talk to him. Anyway, I am not sure what the tech did to my computer. Another worker said something about a "logic board" but that's it. Is there a way, in the logs somewhere for me to examine exactly what the tech replaced/repaired? If it was the logic board that was replaced then how can I tell? TIA

    If your logicboard was replaced, your serial number will not appear when you go to "about this Mac" and then to System Profiler.
    My serial number still appeared after each time I got the logic board replaced.
    If the logic board was replaced, the number reported via software won't match the one stamped on the bottom of the iMac's leg.

  • How can i tell what generation of ipod shuffle I have?

    We have various ipods and I need to know what generation of ipod shuffle we have.  How can if tell?

    This document about resetting the iPod shuffle shows a picture of the four types.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1655
    1st gen - It is white plastic and looks like a USB "thumb drive."  It as a full USB connector on it, so you don't need a cable to connect it to the computer.
    2nd gen - It is a clip-on design.  It has separate switches for setting playback order (shuffle or in order) and for turning ON/OFF.
    3rd gen - It is a narrow clip-on design, with no playback control buttons on the shuffle itself.  You use the "remote control" buttons on the ear buds cord.  It has the new VoiceOver feature.
    4th gen - Apple went back to the 2nd gen style, except smaller.  It has only one switch that is both for setting playback order (shuffle or in order) and turning ON/OFF, plus a small VoiceOver button (for using the VoiceOver feature introduced in 3rd gen)
