I purchased new computers twice within the same year because they were damaged in a storm.  However, I can't deauthorize/reauthorize the new computers because it has been less than a year.  How do I deal with this situation?

I have 3 Computers at home, I am studying computer sciences and am constantly rerformatting my computers, installing windows and linux over and over again.... EVERYTIME I reformat I have to authorize the same computer and so it takes up one of my 5 authorized computers... Anyways after deauthorizing all my computers in september I was not aware I couldn't do it for another year (why does APPLE assume these stupid tactics prevent piracy). Anywysw I need to reach apple and have them make it so I can do it again. I had a similar problem with Playstation and when I called them they fixed it for me... even windows (which you can only have one serial per computer) made it easy because all I had to do was call them and they fixed it for me. Now I need APPLE to do the same and this is the only place I could see to actually say what is going on... I can't believe I have to do this with my iPhone... I wanted an mp3 player and a phone together and if I can't put new songs until September 20, 2012 I am going to freak out!
HELP!

  • Has anyone experienced problems with Mackeeper? I did not complete downloading this software. Yet, occasionally when on the internet, I will have the MacKeeper multi-colored circle replace my pointer. How do you deal with this?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Don't download MacKeeper. Users complain about this app and it damages OS X. Also, Mac OS X knows how to take care of itself, so you don't need any other cleaning application that may damage OS X. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3691

  • I paid for an app and after the iOS upgrade it tell me I have to pay for it again to get the fetures I had before how do I deal with this?

    I paid 1.99 plus taxes  for the upgrade pedometer with the talking ,daily goal etc and after the iOS up grade they want me to pay again how is that (its aids over 5,000,000 users worldwide!)

    You shouldn't have to pay again, unless your AppleID has changed. I suggest contacting the app developer. If the upgrade was an in-app purchase you should be able to "restore purchases" within the app.
    However, for $1.99 how much time is it worth wasting on this? I have an app that has $280 worth of in-app purchases. So for me it really made a difference. I contact the developer and he told me how to restore the purchases, no problem.

  • There are white squares on my screen at the top.  Apple care is telling me I'm out of warranty.  This seems like an Apple LCD screen issue.  The problem seems to be widespread.  How is apple dealing with this.  apple care told me it would cost me 260.00

    Apple should be fixing this problem for free.  It is a hardware issue.  Check the Web.  A lot of your customers are having the same problem.  If I have to spend money to fix this I will be choosing a different cell phone provider

    That the problem has happened to someone else, or even to a couple of dozen people, does not make it a "widespread problem". Apple has sold millions of iPhones, so even if hundreds have experienced the problem that's still a very small failure rate.
    Your iPhone is out of warranty, so you will need to pay for service. If Apple finds this to be a screen issue, in many Apple Stores they can replace the screen for US $149. If it's not a screen issue or your local Apple Store can not yet replace the screen, then Apple replaces the entire iPhone. Those are their policies, and complaining about it, particular here in these user-to-user forums, will accomplish nothing.
    You are free to pay some unauthorized shop to attempt repair, or attempt your own repair, if you wish, though you will void any further support from Apple, for any price, if you do.
    There is nothing more anyone here can tell you.

  • HT2731 My brother & I have been using the same iTunes account. We now want to have separate accounts. Can we still keep the apps we have on our own devices?

    My brother and I have been using the same iTunes account. We now want to have our own separate accounts.Can we still keep the apps we have on our own devices?

    Your question is almost too much a personal one, begging the question "do we (husband and wife) feel comfy sharing one account on the Mac"   maybe thats why nobody answered you.
    It doesnt complicate anything, but it adds steps for switching accounts on the Mac/ purchases etc. of course
    since your question is mostly personal, ..I wont answer THAT part of it, but creating a new account is easy.....messing with switching back and forth is also a personal preference 'issue' as well.   I prefer to keep things simple, but...........you and yours,  I dont know.......

  • Albums with iPhoto imports have multiple versions of images.  How do I deal with this?

    I have been using Aperture happily for several months, and recently followed the Apple help suggestion to "Consolidate Masters."  I had the impression that this would allow me to cut any awkward ties with my old iPhoto library, and use Aperture consistently with both those photos imported from iPhoto and newer images loaded directly to Aperture.
    Now I notice that wherever edited iPhoto images appear in Aperture, I now have two versions of each photo:  the original and an edited version.  I don't mind this in the Projects/Events, but I really only want the edited versions to appear in albums.  Worse yet, if I try to delete one of the "extra" images from an album, I get a scary warning message: 
    Are you sure you want to move the selection to the trash?
    Some versions based on these master files are included in other albums.
    These versions will be removed from all Albums, Books, Light Tables, Web Pages, Web Journals, Slideshows, MobileMe Albums, Flickr Albums, and Facebook Albums.
    I thought that deleting from albums just removed a reference from the album, rather than removing the image from the library.  Clearly I have messed up.  I want to use Aperture exclusively for photo organizing and processing. I do not want extra versions of my images cluttering all my albums.
    Should I recover my photo library from backup to the state prior to consolidating masters? 
    What then?
    Should I delete my iPhoto Library?  If so, how?  (Delete the iPhoto Library folder in Aperture?  In the Finder, delete the iPhoto Library file in the Pictures folder?)
    Please help!

    It never ceases to amaze me how questions on the forum are like buses, none for an hour then three come along. Not your fault but this was asked just a couple of days ago.
    When your developers issue a new version you need to save a copy of the source, we just zip it up. Then you carry on editing for the next version and zip that up and go again.
    Then when a change is required to an older version, you dig it up, amend it and zip it again.
    Not sure how it works with source control. The above is easier and reliable, assuming you manage it tightly.

  • Junk Mail: Now how do I deal with this one, 'No Subject' heading...

    Hello everyone.
    Well, they (Junk Mail) really keep "re-inventing" themselves...
    A while back I kept getting blank junk emails with no sender... so it was easy, someone from this Discussion thought me to create a rule whereby the 'Sender' field is lack of an "@", and that filters it to Junk.
    Now, I am getting junk mail with no subject heading...
    How can I filter this off directly as junk??
    Thanks and cheers

    Hi thanks for the reply. I have used SpamSieve before together with Entourage before I switched (back) to Mail; Then because Entourage has a "weaker ability" to do a better job in filtering Junk than Mail, which supposed to have a on-going learning experience in handling junk.
    I thought if properly "train" or configure, Mail will handle this on its own without "any external help", I hope this is still so, 'cause at this point I would not want to engage in another external spam filter.
    Thanks.

  • How do I deal with this error message when burning DVD's: The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.

    I am getting this error message when trying to burn a DVD: The disc can’t be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media. iMac, Mac OS X 10.6.8 Memorex DVD-R 12x Any ideas?

    First, try a different batch of recordable DVDs. If you still have problems, you may want to make an appointment at the genius bar and have it checked. The drive may be failing.

  • When i am trying to open my i photo it saysYou can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete. dont know why any one can help me i have i mac 21.5" bought it last year feb

    You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete.

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.
