How do I approve my other devices when prompted?

On setting up my new iPod and iPhone I was prompted to either use security code or to approve from another device. I chose to select approve from another device, but there is absolutely no indication of how to do this and Apple's help manual doesn't help either? So how do I approve another device?

Try resetting the keychain. See:
iCloud: About iCloud Security Code alert messages

I Cloud approval from other device or verification code?

I just upgraded to IOS8 on iPad 3 and iPhone 6. For the I cloud set-up it is asking for an approval from another device or entering a verification code.
1. How to approve from other device? I have an iMac as well. OR
2. If you enter code the message is a verification code will be sent to a phone number (which is my house phone....does not receive texts).
What to do?

Hi Brad0266,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post it appears that you have enabled two-step verifcation for your Apple ID, which is why it is prompting you to enter in a verification code from a device that you set up. Take a look at the support article linked to below to learn more about two-step verification.

Since iTunes update my PC will not see other devices keep getting message The procedure entry point sqlite 3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite 3.dll, how do I get my other devices to be found?

Since iTunes updated my PC my other devices are not seen and I keep getting message "The procedure entry point sqlite 3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite 3.dll", how do I get my other devices to be found? or do I have to remove all Apple software.

With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Restart the programme all should be well
In case that your OS is (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
3. Now paste it in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck

How do approve from another device when I changed my number

I recently got an iPad air 2. I would like to approve my new device to use my Apple ID. We authorization process requires receiving a text message from my old cell phone number that I no longer have access to. How do I have proof the device sent my phone number has changed?
thank you for your time helping me

My guess is that you have set up two-step verification for your Apple ID:
iCloud: two-step verification
So I suspect your old iPhone number was one of the devices set up to receive an authorization request.
Note that you could also use your recovery key (instead of your iPhone) if this is the case.

Waiting for approval from other device on mac

Im waiting for the macs keychain access to send approval to one of my other devices for approval after a fresh installation of mavericks 10.9.3,
my question is how long should it take because its been 3 hours so far.
it doesnt appear to be working for me

Hello pj o\'connell,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Please see below for instructions on troubleshooting this issue of not receiving the verification code:
I'm not receiving the verification code via SMS.
Make sure that you have a good cellular network connection on your phone.
Check that your phone number is one that can receive SMS messages. You can do this by having someone send you a text message.
Check that you have the correct phone number associated with your account:
Devices using iOS 7.0.3 or later: Tap Settings > iCloud > Account, then tap Keychain. Check that the phone number listed under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
Macs using OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later: Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account Details. Check that the phone number listed under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
Check Apple System Status to see if there is currently a service outage affecting iCloud Keychain.
If you do not have access to a device that has iCloud Keychain enabled, you can contact Apple Support and verify your identity for help completing iCloud Keychain setup.

I have apparently already authorized 5 other computers and need to sync my iphone with this computer. How do I unauthorize the other computers when i no longer have them?

i have already authorized 5 other computers that I no longer have and now cannot sync and store my music etc. on my current computer. how can i unauthorize all other computers if I no longer have them?

Go to store on the menu bar. Select view my account. From there, go to manage devices. It will give you a list of all the computer that are authorized to use your account. This will allow you to choose which ones you want to delete.

How do I reinstall an audio device when its missing?

I accidentally deleted my audio device while troubleshooting problems with my sound (the red X over the volume) and cannot reinstall it. I know it's an IDT audio codec device from some of the previous diags, but you can't install a driver for a device that doesnt exist.
I have an HP Pavilion dv6-1378r entertainment laptop w/Win7 (64bit). I have even tried installing an incorrect device - hoping that I could add the correct one later, but once the bad one is deleted, the entire SOUND, VIDEO, GAME CONTROLLERS icon is deleted.
I keep getting error 10 when running the audio troubleshooter. It tells me NO AUDIO DEVICE INSTALLED. When I try to install the IDT drivers (with my fingers crossed), it fails.

My built-in system speaker (realtec) and the playback device (altec lansing) are both missing--from the bios and in the device listing (even though there are configurations for these, and the Windows 8 troubleshooter claims they are working as expected. I sent the 3-month old Pavilion G7 laptop to repair--and it was determined that the machine has moisture damage, voiding any warranty; repair would cost MORE than a whole new laptop!
What isn't documented (I have yet to find it) is where and how the sound component (which I think is an integrated part of the motherboard) was so easily affected. Not from any spills. But I DID find a yuky smell and moisture when the device was returned to me--and I have to surmise that if you spill something on the table and you pick up your laptop: TAKE IT APART because there's a little button that wicks liquid up into the cover on the backside/bottom of a laptop. The device was returned to me with the back cover still off, and enough residual to pull components out of the motherboard. (Thanks, repair folks!)--without that hint, I never would have considered the wicking nature of a little button, and I didn't know to LOOK by disassembling the machine! In fact, I think it would have voided the warranty for me to open it up, but if I had, I would still have a functioning 6 month old laptop!
Seeking ways to replace the sound component or add one to one of the USB ports.

How do I sync all other items when iPhoto library offline?

I have an iPhoto library which is on an external drive and not always connected to my MacBook Air. Previous to iOS 5.x and the related iTunes 10.5.x, I am fairly certain that I was able to perform a full sync to the iPhone (songs, apps, podcasts, videos) and it would simply ignore the fact that my iPhoto library was not present and skip it. Essentially all photos would be retained on the phone and everything else available would sync.
It appears that now when the iPhoto library is not available I receive a visual warning (exclamation symbol next to iPhone) and the sync completes without synchronizing podcasts. Apps however are synchronized.
Is there a way to sync all items when the iPhoto library is unavailable?

Did you try "unsyncing" all of your songs from the iPad - which will remove them, and then sync them all back to the device?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You need to enable "find my phone" in the iCloud settings on each device.

How to export iBooks to other devices

Can someone tell me how to export books from my iTunes account to my hard drive? I'm wanting to put them in various devices including my laptop, but unsure how. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Books purchased from the iBookstore cannot be read on anything other than an iOS device, as it says on every purchase page in the Requirements section (at least until OS 10.9 is released). So there is not much point in exporting them to your laptop.

How to pair bluetooth with other devices

need help...my iphone 5 bluetooth will not pair with any devices..

As Allan says, this has never been a feature of the iphone.
It supports bluetooth for handsfree tele[hone devices, stereo headsets/speakers, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps from the app store, and internet tethering if provided by the carrier.
Other than this, it will not connect to other phones or computers.
