  • How do i download itunes on one computer (64-bit) for a different computer(32-bit)?

    How do I download itunes on one computer (64-bit) for a different computer (32-bit)?  The download page automatically detects my computer as 64-bit, but I want to download the installer for a different computer that is 32-bit.

    I ended up changing the user agent reported by my web browser to fool the website into thinking I was using a different web browser. On Google Chrome, press Ctrl-Shift-I to open the Developer Tools, then click the gear in the lower-right corner of the window. Check "Override User Agent" then select "Internet Explorer 7" from the drop-down.
    Once upon a time, you could download the 32-bit version of iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/download/, but the download link hasn't been updated recently and points to an old version of iTunes.
    If, like me, you think Apple should provide a link to the 32-bit version from the main download page, I would recommend giving Apple your feedback.

  • I have set up a Netgear dual band modem which works well with the iPhone and an older MacBook, but with this brand new MacBook it asks for a password every time I reopen the computer and open safari. Is it Lion?

    I have set up a Netgear dual band modem which works well with the iPhone and an older MacBook, but with this brand new MacBook it asks for a password every time I reopen the computer and open safari. As you can imagine this is very annoying. It says I am not connected to the internet and offers me a choice of nearby networks including mine and then asks for a password when I select it. Why does it do this with our new MacBooks (also with my son's brand new one) and not with the iPhone, iPad and older MacBook? They happily automatically connect to our network after entering the password just the once.

    Sig, I appreciate you trying to be helpful. I have no idea what issues you were having or what issue exactly pgrounds has been having. Your assumption that everyone's set up is the same as yours is false however. There are many many documented WiFi issues that are a result of Lion installs. Many have been solved by 10.7.1 and 10.7.2. Others have been solved by a large variety of work arounds. Others have not had their issues solved yet.
    I am one of those. I have an IT background, and I spent the better of five hours digging up workarounds and attempting all of them. For the benefit oh anyone who is having similar issues, I have posted links to all of those workarounds here. None of them worked in my case, but hopefully they will help pgrounds or others.
    So, once again, if you have a new idea, I'd love to here it. But if it has already been posted in one of these links, it's not helpful, let it go.

    I would appreciate your help on how to configure a gmail in a way  it  ask  for the password  everytime I connect?. In the only way I can configure it  I have to include the pw when configuring the account  and  after that  it do not ask for pw  so  everyone that shares my iPad can  oppen my mail  with  no pw  required.
    Thank

    The iPad is designed to be a single user device, and there is currently no way to password protect the Mail app - even removing the account password from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars will just prevent new mail being downloaded, it won't hide those that have already been downloaded. There is this work-around for the app : https://discussions.apple.com/message/13127632#13127632 . Also there might be third-party email apps that feature password protecting.

    everytime i want to restore my previews backup to my new iphone, itunes asks for my password, when i enter my password it tells me my password is incorrect, but its not! i have even changed my password. but still nothing! I get the same error from itunes!!!!

    Try using your computer password. I tried any password I could think of relating to my phones, but it was none of them; it was, in fact, my computer password.

    Is it asking for your Apple ID password or the passcode to unlock the phone?
    If it's asking for your passode, use the steps in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212

  • After downloading updates and automatically restarting  my computer, it asks for a password and says I can use my apple ID but then will not accept my apple ID which I have verified on my ipad

    When I got the message that there were updates, I accepted them and then my computer restarted automatically. Next it asked for a password which I gave but that was not accepted. I got a message that I could use my apple ID so I did that. It also was not accepted. I verified that I had the correct apple ID on my iPad. Still can not get my Mac book pro running. Any suggestions.

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Why did my brand new rMBP startup asking for a password?

    I bought a brand new apple 13" macbook pro retina from my university autorized apple retailer store. Its an earlier 2013 model but still was bought brand new in a sealed box and all of the components inside are sealed with plastic. When I opened the computer for the very first time and turned it on it pulled up a screen with a user named "1" and asked for a password. I tried to just hit enter but it wouldnt allow me in and i guessed the password "1" which ended up unlocking the computer. It brought me straight to the regular desktop screen and didnt even offer set-up assistant like it says in the instruction booklet. It doesnt appear to have anything saved on the computer but I opened up the power section of "about this mac" and it says that the battery has 2 full cycles. This doens't seem right for a brand new computer? Somebody please help me out, the store I bought it from is closed now and they told me when I first bought it there are no refunds since I didnt buy it through apple directly. I do have a year of warranty through apple. What should I do?

    What that store did was reinstall OS X to remove the original owners info and didn't know how to reset the Setup Assistant system to make it look like it had never been turned on.
    But if they sold it to as new you have a good case for a full refund. If you get that refund do not buy another from that store.

  • Whilst trying to restore my computer is asking for a password to an email address with my surname in it but not made by me?

    I Tried updating my iPhone 4 to ios7. Have been trying for 7 hours to no avail. It comes up with an apple and grey bar however no download is appearing on the bar. My laptop is now asking for a password to an email address  unrecognizable to me? When I cancel out it displays error number 4005. I have installed up to date iTunes, restarted etc etc. am starting to go mad!

    That sounds like a lock PIN put on via Icloud - can you log into iCloud and unlock it?

  • I cannot install a  Mavericks software program on mac. it asks for administrator password. i never have set up an admin password on computer.

    i cannot install recently downloaded Mavericks software on computer. it asks for admin password. i have never set up an admin password and was able to install programs by passing this step. any help isappreciated,

    Not having a password means that any casual passer-by can have access to all your personal data, or deleting it.
