How do I get a computer to use one of my available licenses instead of the temporary license that I'm being told will expire tomorrow?

My console says "Payment needed" on one of my computers, and that the computer is currently using a temporary license, which is set to expire tomorrow. However, the line above that says the I have 2 device licenses available for activation. How do I get that computer to use one of my available licenses instead of the temporary license that will expire tomorrow?
Thanks,
RS

Something I have noticed with the iPad that it is possible for webpages to run as if they are in their own app.
No, what you're seeing is the actual webpage
For example, the BBC iplayer (www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer). Open this site in safari, add an icon for it to your home screen, then when you use this icon to open the iplayer it opens as if it is an app, it doesn't have the address bar or back and forward buttons etc.
Actually, it does. Or should do, ay least. It does for me
Also when you double click the home button the iplayer icon shows up with the rest of the apps (usually you just get safari there) and if you open safari and look at the pages you have open it doesn't show there. It really does look as though it is an app, although what I'm guessing is happening is that it is open in a new instance of safari.
That's correct
My question is, does anyone know how to get a site to do this? I'm assuming there are some meta tags in the HTML but I can't find any references to this being possible let alone how to do it.
The site doesn't do it. Safari does it. All you have on your Home screen is the iPad equivalent of a webloc, a small text snippet containing the URL for whatever page you saved.

Turned Match off and songs that had been deleted from my hard drive (but NOT deleted from my library) disappeared - how can I get those songs to reappear in my library without manually re-adding the matched files that I had deleted from my hard drive?

I was trying to turn off iTunes Match on my iPhone and first turned Match off on my MacBook rather than on my iPhone (which was wrong, I should have just turned it off on the iPhone). I had ~28,000 songs in my library when I turned off iTunes Match; I had deleted ~8,000 of those files from my laptop (which I backed up on a portable hard disk) but I left the deleted files in my library, so that I could play them through iTunes Match. One of the benefits of Match, right? Saving hard drive space. So I turned off iTunes Match on my MacBook thinking that was how to turn it off on the iPhone (it wasn't), and when I turned Match back on, those ~8,000 songs were not in my library. I tried to update Match several times but can't seem to get the songs back. I know they are still in the cloud somewhere though, because if Match restarted then it would match/upload all of my remaining ~20,000 songs - but it hasn't, I still have thousands of "exceeded limit" songs. Anyone know how I can get those songs back?

"One of the benefits of Match, right? Saving hard drive space."
I would not use iTunes Match as a backup. There are too many bugs and I don't think that's what they intended it to be anyway. The main advantage of using it is to make your music available on OTHER devices, not to replace the music on your original computer.

How can I get my computer to show an accurate memory available?

My MBP HD is showing I have 433GB available, however my Disk Repair shows 149GB available. I have my HDD partitioned into two drives, one with 429GB (which is how I know the 433 is incorrect), and the other at 70GB. I am running OS X 10.7.2. I have tried Repairing the disk and verifying with no success. Any ideas?

Here is what I mean about the backups and memory, there is a big difference on the actual HDD. Is this safe to overlook as well?

If you are referring to the original system reinstall discs that shipped with every Mac before Lion came out you'll need to contact Apple with the serial # of your Mac and order a replacement set of them.
Or look on one of the Auction websites or places like iFixit.com for a replacement set.
If your Mac came new with any of the Download Only versions of OS X, Lion, Mt Lion or Mavericks you don't need any discs to reinstall OS X. You use the Online Internet Recovery system or the built in Recovery HD partition inb the internal hard drive.
For the built in Recovery HD hold down the Command + r keys at startup. For the Online system hold down the Command + Option/Alt + r keys and keep them held down until you see a globe on the screen.

How do i get my computer to remember useer names & passwords

how do i get my computer to remember my username & passwords

Hi,
In your preferences (Tools -> Options in the menu), go to the "Security" tab and make sure "Remember Passwords for sites" is checked. Also, if you have previously clicked the "Never" option for remembering username/password for a specific site, and have changed your mind, the site should appear when you click "Exceptions" next to "Remember passwords for sites".
Some sites do not allow the browser to supply a username/password for you, such as sites whose login pages are made with Flash. If you're able to save passwords for some sites but not others, this may be the problem.
Here is a link to more information about saving usernames and passwords: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/make-firefox-remember-usernames-and-passwords]

Hello ashlyn888,
Based on your post it sounds like you would like to sync your iBooks content with your computer. I have located an article that may help you in this situation. While you can sync this data with your computer you can also use the sharing button to send PDFs using various sources:

"A plugin is needed to display this content", how do I get my computer to do this?

I am trying to open a video file for my online class. When I click on the file, a gray box appears and reads "a plugin is needed to display this content". How do I get my computer to open the video. I have a MAC and zero knowledge of how to fix problems on it.

Hmm, it depends on the type of video.
Does Firefox offer a link to search for the plugin? That may lead to some useful information.
If not, is the page available for viewing without logging in? If so, you could paste the address here for a volunteer to take a look.
In case the site uses video compatible with Windows Media Player, or in anticipation of coming across such a site sooner or later, you may need to install a plugin for Mac that can play Windows Media. Microsoft offers a couple of options on this page:

How do i get my computer to stop making a fan noise

how do i get my computer to stop making a fan noise?

Is the computer hot? If so then do this:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
If the computer is not hot, then try resetting the SMC - Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC).
Finally, try running diagnostics:

OS X Mountain Lion- Use Apple Hardware Test

How do i get my computer to stop instantly recognizing my iphone???

okay so my sister and i have two separate iphones and recently found out that her computer is recognizing it as the same one, so we are running out of storage space very quickly. how do i get my phone off of it or how do i get her computer to stop recognizing my phone as that account? please help

Well that's the thing, it's not that... We set it up when I got my phone to sync with her account so I could get her music, but now I want my own because it's combining our space that's being used. I could tell because it says there are 1007 photos on that phone when that's our photos combined. I just want my own phone to recognize so it's not using up my storage.

Thanks for your help

First, please don't shout.
Second, don't post personal information.
Third, restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

HT201248 My email address associated with my Apple ID on my iPad has been turned off from the ISp (U.S. army). I have a new gmail account with a new Apple ID. How do I get my iPad to use my gmail account?

Help. My old @us.army.mil email address was terminated by the army. I used that address to register my first apple id account on my iPad. I can't remember my original Apple ID number and if I ask to reset my password, Apple sends the reset link to my old non-working email address. I have a new gmail address and a new Apple ID number associated with that address. How do I get my iPad to use my new gmail address and new apple ID number? Remember, I can't log out of my old account because I can't remember the password. Amd Apple will only reset the password by sending a link to my old, non functioning army email account. ( I hate army webmail for canceling all retired military email accounts). John Marc
