How do i add a rescue email address to an already existing apple id? The only option it gives me, under the manage my apple id category, is an alternate email. I am trying to make my alternate email address my rescue email address.
How do i add a rescue email address to an already existing apple id? The only option it gives me, under the manage my apple id category, is an alternate email. I am trying to make my alternate email address my rescue email address. I am new to this community thing.
Note that the rescue email address is not on the "Name, ID and Email Address" page -- you need to click on "Password and Security" on the left side. Even after you do that, it may or may not be available. As noted in the following it is only available if you have 3 security questions and are not using 2-step verification: Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses

Every time I plug my iphone into my MacBook, it refuses to sync and download photos etc. This has been happening for a month. I tried to upgrade itunes yesterday and ended up in a mess. It wouldn't stay connected to internet, then the iphone was left with a screen with the 'itunes icon of 2 notes in a blue circle, then under it the white connection lead". Each time I plugged it back in to my lap top, it refused internet access. A friend "restored" my iphone from scratch today and I have lost all my contacts. My photos are still there which is amazing. I now am trying to download my precious photos so I dont loose them again. It still refuses to sync and only offers me "quit" as an option. My phone in 3G and I have a MacBook lap top. Any help very much appreciated. I rang the apple help line but I dodn't really understand what he told me. I am almost computer illiterate (too old to understand all this technology). Thank you.
When was the last time you did an update on your iphone? That might be the problem. BTW which OS are you running on your MacBook?

I want to add another I cloud account to my Messages, But when I Click add account, the only options it gives me is Gmail, Yahoo, and AOL. But I have an iCloud.com email. What do I do in this case ?
Hi rarellano1,
In order to have an iCloud account available for the Messages application it must first be set up in System Preferences > Internet Accounts. If this is a second (or later) iCloud account, it will not have Messages available. See this article for details -

The problem started when my current iTunes kept popping up a window stating that my Auto Run was turned off. (which means iTunes will not be able to recognize when a CD is inserted or ejected). It asked if I wanted iTunes to run Auto Run and I select Yes every time (this window pops up every time I open my iTunes), but a second window pops up stating iTunes cannot turn on my Auto Run setting (but it will still be able to recognize CDs) to which I choose okay. A third window pops up after stating that iTunes was not properly installed and if I wish to import or burn CDs I need to re-install iTunes, except that I can import CDs since I did this only yesterday and this problem has been going on at least a month.
To add to this, I cannot cannot automatically update to version 10.5.3. (I don't recall which problem came first, my Auto Run problem or the fact that my iTunes can't update). iTunes suggested that I manually install the update, so I went to the apple site and tried manually installing the latest iTunes (10.5.3). However, during the installation process I received an error message. It asked me to verify access to "C:\Config.Msi\187e500.rbf". The only option it gives is "try again" or "cancel". I tried hitting Try again a few times but the same error message popped up, so I had no choice but to cancel the installation. Afterwards, I tried searching in my C drive but could not find "C:\Config.Msi\187e500.rbf"
Does anyone have any suggestions how I can update my iTunes?I should have posted this earlier, but anyway. I restored my laptop to factory version after backing up any useful data, and the first thing I the laptop was restored was connect to the internet, download and install the latest version of iTunes. And Bingo! It worked.

Question
I can no longer (since upgrading to the latest firefox) open up multiple tabs of the same page (something I need to be able to do when emailing and referencing multiple emails while writing one email). The only option it gives me is to 'switch to tab'.I'll try to make this clear. I USED to be able to left click on a hyper link and the hyper link would open in a NEW tab. Now for some unknown reason the hyper link by default opens in the same tab (window). I have to right click the hyper link in order for it to open in a NEW tab. (Yes, my 'tools'> 'options'> 'tabs' are set to "open new windows in a new tab." (Please no answers telling me to get rid of the Ask toolbar because I don't have one.) Thank you.

After upgrading to IOS 7, the only options Gmail gives using Safari or Mail app to attach a file are attaching a camera roll file or drawing a scribble. How can I attach a document such as a PDF or word file? I used to be able to do so using IOS 6.

how can I get all options under edit in iPhoto on my phone to appear it has revert in red on theleft side & done on the right side, the only choice it gives me is select multiple
The usual cause of that issue is a corrupted or missing font that Firefox replaces by another, in this case a bold, font.
As a test you can try to disable the default font and choose a few different fonts (Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Times New Roman) to see if you can identify the culprit.<br />
you will have to reinstall that corrupted font. -
When I select iPhoto to open the application, a message comes up saying, "iPhoto is unable to open this library," and the only option available is to quit. I don't know what library iPhoto is attempting to open, but all I want to do is just start iPhoto over from scratch.
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' to find out what Library is in question. Use the 'Create Library' option to make a new one.
To try and repair the damaged one:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

My first device that I moved to the cloud was not the most accurate. I want to erase what is on the iCloud and reset with my laptop first and then my other devices. Any suggestions?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Before you start, I'd export the data from the notebook to your desktop as a back up.
Turn syncing off, if it isn't already, on the notebook (system preferences > iCloud), delete the data from the first device, turn on syncing on the notebook and merge. -
With previous versions of Firefox, I was always asked this question whenever I exit the web browser and turning my laptop off: Do you want to save your bookmarks?... At least that was the message of the question. Right now, my only option is actually closing all the bookmarks and manually opening each one of them or starting from a saved bookmark list.
Thanks!One change in Firefox 4 is to by default stop Firefox displaying the warning message, but it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning''' -

I am attempting to make changes to my itunes account, but when I hit done, an error message "enter at most 3 letters or numbers for province" appears. I have not attempted to make any modificaitons to this field. The only options I have for data in this field are picked from a drop down menu. I have no idea why this msg is appearing. Any ideas on why it is showing up? Thanks.There seems to be at least one package that can't be located. See the message below from you log file

I am trying to create a panorama. When I enter FILE > NEW > the Photomere panorama option does not appear. the only options are Blank file and file from clipboard. This is in Elements 11 on Windows 8.1 OS. How do I get Photomerge Panorama to appear.
Since PSE11, you access the photomerge option in the 'Enhance' menu, last option. Or you can use the organizer (menu Edit / Photomerge).
