HT1420 HOW do i get Apple to understand that i have a big family and my kids do not have credit cards or their own apple id so i have more than 5 computers?

I just spent over 2
$2000 on the new iPhone 5 for myself and my wife, we sitll use the other iphone4's  that we have with other numbers and as we have a big family we have 7 computers that all need to work with itunes. We also have 5 ipads and i was thinking of getting another one but because of this problem the two new iphones and my macbook pro are usles devices when it comes to music and syncing is impossable... My kids do not have there own apple id as it needs a credit card, which they do NOT have. They are kids. so how can i get iTunes to allow me to get more computers online. I just bought an new/ refurbushed 17" mackbookpro as my old one was dropped and still works but do not want to take a chance for my work... anyway iTunes will not let me use this computer with iTunes either... AAAHHHHH I do not want to authorize and de-authorize computers as i use them and it looks like that is not possible anyway based on their statment that htis can only be done twice a year... HELP PLEASE. Thanks Richrd

The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

    How do I get old purchused songs that were deleated from my account and my liberary?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    You buy one and only one download.  It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.

    Hi jhyiesla,
    Im not sure wether I got you right or not. But my advice/s would be as follows:
    These steps help you get rid of old apps you downloaded years ago and you do not use anymore.(Also frees space on your mac after emptying the trash)
    1) go to iTunes and delete all applications in it. Make sure to move them to trash! Do not empty your trash yet. Its your backup if step 3 doesnt appear.
    2) connect both your devices(one after each other) and make a backup. !!!Dont press the Sync button, press the Back Up Now Button
    3) Then it asks you if you want to backup applications as well. Confirm. (This is how apps get transferred manually)
    4) Then Sync your devices... The first time it might be, that there are some additional apps loaded to your devices you dont want to.. delete them on your Device (not iTunes) and after that you should be good every time you sync again.
    5) now you can empty your trash on your mac.
    Further,
    - You should regularly connect your devices with iTunes to make sure they are backed up. (Even if you have activated iCloud backup, the iTunes backup is more proper i.e.. Apps)
    - If you hate scrolling through a list of apps in iTunes, you can re/install apps directly on iOS not via iTunes. I absolutely never go to the "Applications" section in iTunes. I install and delete apps directly on iOS.

    How do I get features to show up in General Settings like iCloud and FaceTime and Location services to show up for Siri?

    SADLY  not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
    i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
    but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
    i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
    i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
    and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
    It doesn't/
    if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
    I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
    any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

  • How can I get past dialog box that wants my country/region?  Premiere Elements 13 will not open!!!

    Cannot get past the country/region dialog box because the list will not allow me to select the United States as the place where I live.  The list is too long and no way to get to the bottom to select the United States!!!  I can't get into Premiere Element 13.

    TNDOGGER888
    Thank you for the reply.
    Let us start with
    1. Is the computer operating system Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit? If it is and you are installing Premiere Elements 13, then the program files will go by default to Local Disk C/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Premiere Elements 13 as the default location. If you have a computer that is using other than Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, then it will not. Another question is, when your drives were set up, was the SSD drive designated the C drive?
    2. From what you wrote, I understood that you were using your installation files or installation disc to install the program, but were getting stopped very early in the installation process because you could not set the country/language. Typically that setting is done while you are starting the installation. One of the early dialog boxes that you get in that process is named Choose Setup Language (or something like that). That is where I believed you could not set the country/language. Is that the place to which you were referring or some place else?
    3. You do not need to uninstall Premiere Elements 10 to install and run Premiere Elements 13. Just use one program at a time.
    Typically 32 bit applications in a 64 bit computer operating system run in the 32 bit compatibility mode of the 64 bit system. And, these 32 bit applications program files will be in Program Files (x86) Folder. The 64 bit applications program files would be in Program Files. With regard to Premiere Elements 10, some of its files may be found in Program Files and Program Files (x86).
    But, the main focus now is getting Premiere Elements 13 installed to the default location on the Local Disk C/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Premiere Elements 13 during the installation process after you designate the country/language and are given a country dependent NTSC or PAL system with which to work.
    From a quick look at 13 installation on Windows 7 64 bit, the first installation dialog that mentions language with country implications is
    This is for Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 7 or 8.1 64 bit. Since you say that the United States is further down the list in your case, I suspect this is not the place where you are having problems. Note the default location in this Options dialog. Did you leave that as is or change it to something else?
    Are you having these issues when you get to the Sign In dialog or some place else?
    Please consider and then let us decide what next.
    Many thanks for the follow up. Appreciated.

  • HT4993 how do i get my video's that were deleted on my phone and are synced

    anybody here to help me get my video's back on my phone that synced to ituns

    Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS.   Recall, only photos in the camera roll are backed up to iCloud.  There is a way to turn backups for camera roll on/off, perhaps these users had camera roll turned off.
    See:
    Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage,  tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
    IMPORTANT...
    Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream.  If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
    If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered.  I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".

  • How do I get rid of artwork that is automatically put in from itunes.. it is not the album cover...which I used to have. How it disappeared I have no idea???

    Some of my artwork (album covers) have disappeared and been replaced by some funky designs???  I don't know what I clicked on to make this happen but they seem to be disappearing more and more?  I copied the artwork from my other computer and put them in a folder to replace them.  When I click  on the far rt. hand icon at the bottom left corner of the screen where it pops up and lets you put custom artwork etc in if you choose I can paste the album cover there but it doesn't lock it in or replace it over in my album nor in my cover flow??  Hope that makes sense!
    Please help

  • How do i get back my music that was deleted off my windows and it is not in my ipod anymore either

    okay. i wanted to transfer more music to my 4 days old ipod classic, then when i connected it with the same laptop that i used to transfer the first time, it said that it was a different itunes. i blindly said that it was okay to erase since the music will still be in my computer but it wont be in my ipod, i presume.
    so when it deleted everything from the ipod. i restarted my laptop 'cause it was lagging. when i went to itunes to transfer all my music and videos, all my videos and music was gone from itunes!
    when i check my files, all the songs were deleted! the videos as well. unsure of what to do, please tell me that it can be restored..! )x

    Hi,
    A DVD drive that is not working after many years not used:
    most probably dust on the little laser lens.
    Take the drive out and if you can reach this lens: clean it with pure alcohol on Q-Tip.
    Many people throw away cd or dvd players all the time because they stopped working, and very often it can easily be fixed by cleaning this lens.
    I used to have a G5, where I couldn't access that lens. It was very sensitive to dust.
    I have fixed it several times with compressed air. One time I didn't have canned air, but a bikepump did the trick.
    If you have another mac, I'd try to access the G4 internal disk with firewire target disk mode.
    good luck

    I cant register my credit card there because the security code is invalid for any cards that I use there... so insot true.. the code is correct.

    Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
    If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorisations have the correct information on file.
    And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store

    Please, help me :)

    Your best bet would be to try resetting the password to the account that you would like to use via iForgot
    Once you log in to that account change the email address to anything, it can even be fake its just a placeholder
    After you do that you will be free to change your old email address on your appleID to the new one that is now free to be used as it is no longer attached to the other account.

    Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
    I'll hit a few of your questions - others will have to do others since I'm not up on some of the issues you ask about
    4) is there an easy way to review/delete items (in 6, i run a basic slideshow and delete on the fly -- is this still workable in 7?)?
    Yes
    5) Are there significant functionality benefits of 7 over 6 (e.g., does the noise function or shadow/highlight really offer significant benefits? The Events seems obvious, but I'm more interested in "under the hood" experience
    Yes
    Loseless editing - web galleries - events
    a) Is import any faster? As my library is growing in size, the import is getting overly slow
    It is fine for me (only you can compare to your current) - I have 20542 items using 26.3 GB in 271 events
    7) Is there a full-screen edit mode?
    yes
    8) Can you configure events so that it's not just by day?
    yes
    9) Is 6's "roll" structure as mirrored in the file system still available in the Events approach, or is the database structure that once you've converted a library, there's no going back?
    Events replace rolls (if your rolls are named - NOT the default rollxxx name - they will come across as is - to me events are rolls with much more capability and a new name - some people are VERY putoff by the change (but most love it) for reasons that I simply do not comprehend
    10) What is the effective (or advised) maximum library size? I've probably got over 60GB of images in my libraries now, with 20,000 images or so. If 7 can readily digest them (and preserve all my albums, etc.), then I'd love to combine them into one, unless that will kill performance, make the database unstable, drive backups into interminable waits, etc.
    The advertised max is 250,000 photos - I have about the same number of photos as you in about 1/3 the space - there are a few users here with libararies your size. With iPhoto Library Manager it is easy to maintain multiple libraries if you choose

    I have purchased an app and then I decided to delete it...but still apple is charging monthly...how can I get rid of this...

    It sounds as if you purchased the app, but you also purchased some subscription within the app.  You say "Apple is charging monthly", but it's probably the app writer that is charging you monthly for some subscription you purchased within the app.  Contact the app vendor and tell them you want to stop the subscription.
