How do you verify an iMac computer to use an apple id?

My family just bought a new iMac but when I tried to transfer music in my ipod's itunes library through iCloud to the iMac, a message kept popping up. It said i needed to verify the account for the computer before I could download the music onto the iMac. I have no clue where to find and verify the account. Can anyone help?

in the top menu
Store > Authorise this Computer...
Enter the Apple ID and password that the music was bought with
The name of the account will be shown in the Get Info summary page for the music. Or was the Apple ID of the computer you used to sync with

How do you reset an iPad that is using an apple id that is no longer working, i changed my id and never logged out of it on my iPad before the change

so i changed my apple id since it was attached to an email i don't use and forgot to log out of my iPad before doing so. i don't use it often so this was probably two months ago and now i notice the old apple id that always will come up invalid user name or password but can't change the actual id to the correct one so have no idea what to do next

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I cant download itunes on my computer because it says " service 'apple mobile device' failed to start. verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. what does this mean? how do you verify this?

I am having this same problem. I took Kappy advice on restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service, however that did not work. I got this message in a pop up window that came up immediately.
Windows could not start the Apple Mobil Device Service on local computer.
Error 1053 The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
I have already uninstalled itunes, all the related programs and I cannot reinstall, this Apple Mobil Device message stops the install.
Can anyone please help?

How do you verify LR4 has the RAW plug-in 7.2 update?

How do you verify LR4 has the RAW plug-in 7.2 update?

Lightroom does not use the ACR Plugin. The best way to think about Lightroom is that it is "ACR" with lots of other functions/modules, Library, Web, Print, Publish etc. all in one Stand Alone Software package.
It does not require any other Adobe software to be installed on your computer for it to be fully functional.
It is not a substitute for Photoshop Cs / Elements but more of an alternative to ACR/Bridge that provides many of the functions of Lightroom but through PS CS..
That said you need to be running Lightroom 4.2 which is the equivalent of ACR 7.2. LR and ACR are updated simultaniously or within a few days of each other.

How do you know if your computer is running 64 Bit?

How do you know if your computer is running 64 Bit?

That's actually a kind of complicated question. Strictly speaking, there's no such thing as "running 64-bit".
That aside, Intel Core 2 Duo processors and late-model Xeons all have chips that have the Intel EM64T instructions set (64-bit extensions developed by AMD and later adopted by Intel), so they are capable or executing those added 64-bit instructions.
In the Leopard OS, most of the system software has been compiled to make use of 64-bit libraries, but at the same time, 32-bit versions are included for compatibility with pre-Leopard software. So, at any given time you can have software running that uses only the 32-bit instructions, or uses the 64-bit instructions.
Now, albeit the 64-bit libraries are capable of addressing a 64-bit address space, until recently, iMacs and Mac notebooks used Intel chipsets (not the CPU, but the chips that connect the CPU to the other parts of the computer) couldn't address more than the 32-bit address space (a portion of which was reserved, which is why you couldn't use more than 3G of RAM in those Macs).
So, based on that you can ask these questions to see if you are running in 64-bits:
Is the computer a G5 Power PC, Xeon, or Core 2 Duo CPU? If no, you are 32-bit, else go on...
Are you using OS X 10.5 or later? If no, you are 32-bit, else go on...
Does the application "require OS X 10.5 or later" or does it advertise that it's a "64-bit" application? If no, the application is probably 32-bit.
On OS X 10.5 and later, most of the pre-installed Apple-branded software uses the 64-bit versions of the libraries, so they can be said to be "64-bit".

How do you verify the completeness of a restoration drill?

One responsibility of the DBA is to ensure the database backups are usable. Running the restore / recover commands in rman is easy. However, how would you verify the correctness of the restoration? Or do you believe that when rman says it's Ok and oracle merrily open the database, then it's OK? And how about point-in-time recovery (which seems even more difficult to verify)?
(Even though this is a generic question, here is the a database version if needed as basis of discussion:
Oracle: 10.2.0.4
OS: RHEL 4
Edited by: thtsang on Oct 15, 2010 11:06 AM

I would prefer the verification to be done in database perspective. If there is no data loss / inconsistence in the database, it should also be OK for the application.
And if queries on key tables were used, has any one experienced any issue? If so, what's the cause and what's the resolution? And for restoration for hot backup or point in time recovery, it is difficult to confirm what's correct result, because the data was not fixed during the restoration.
