It sounds like it still has her information on it, so it might be efficient to navigate to Settings, then General, then Reset, then Erase All Content and Settings. You can then set up the phone again, using your information. This way the phone will be yours, officially, and her data and information will be removed.

It sounds like you and your husband are sharing an Apple ID, a version of iTunes on your computer, or both.
I recommend you share neither your Apple ID nor your version of iTunes. You can still share music by using Store > Authorize this computer and enter your spouse's information. But it sounds llike this sharing is the cause of your problem.

After I watch a podcast I delete it. When I go back in the next day it shows 500-600 episodes I have to delete manually. So 2 questions.... Is there a way to stop this from happening and is there a way to delete all. This is getting frustrating.

After I watch a podcast I delete it. When I go back in there are 500-600 episodes and I have to delete each one manually. Is there a way to stop this from happening or is there a way to delete all at once. It's getting very frustrating.

Had all these issues. Bit the bullet and downloaded the Downcast App ($1.99). Much better expereince and a lot more features. Sad.

Since I started using Lion (10.7.2) I'm prompted to type my password if I want to add a folder or put something in the trash. Is there a way to stop this from happening?

It sounds like the permissions on your Home folder are snarky.

Restart Lion and hold down the Command and R keys.
You will boot into the Repair Utilities screen. On top, in the Menu Bar click the Utilities item then select Terminal.
In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
The Password reset utility launches, but you’re not going to reset the password. Instead, click on the icon for your Mac’s hard drive at the top. From the drop-down below it, select the user account where you are having issues.
At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an area labeled ‘Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs’. Click the Reset button there.
The reset process takes a couple of minutes. When it’s done, quit the programs you’ve opened and restart your Mac. Notice that ‘Spotlight’ starts re-indexing immediately.

Is there a way to stop this automatic upgrade of programs in CC without giving consent. It really brings things to a standstill if you are in the middle of a projects.

I'm usually at a connection so it's only once I'm on the road that I see it happen this way so I'll have to mess with it all when I'm not at one again. I guess I need to be online to create in admin acct, probably, not really sure what you mean by that, but I'll look into it. I'm not using any special software that I know of that should conflict with it. This is with both my machines one a 2008 macpro and the other a 2011 macbookpro, just running regular OS as far as I know. I'll have to actively test it soon again. Do you mean an admin acct of my adobe id sign in or something just within Premiere?

Macs use an application called Migration Assistant to copy material from the old Mac to the new one. The macs are connected together and each runs Migration Assistance and the user chooses what stuf to copy onto the new Mac.
Unfortunately I do not know how to do this between pcs or between a Mac and a Pf or even if it's even possible.

Open Accounts preferences, click on the Login Items tab. If you see the Terminal listed then select it and click on the Delete [-] button.

I just bought my wife an iPad Mini. I would like to be able to keep the two iPads from talking to each other (iCloud). Do I need to establish another Apple ID for her iPad?
I still want her to be able to link to iTunes, where we both have our music.
What is the best way to do this?
Every iCloud and iMessage account is tied to an AppleID, so just use separate AppleIDs for those services and you each will have your own, private accounts for those services. You can both use a shared AppleID for purchased content from the iTunes and App stores if you wish.

Since downloading OS 6 for my iPad, my calendar keeps issuing repeated alerts - even though I didn't even initiate one. Is there a way to stop this from happening? Thanks for your input !

Since downloading OS6 for my iPad, the calendar keeps issuing repeated & different alerts for events even when I initiated none.
Any suggestions as how to stop this will be most appreciated.
Thank you in advance !

This is the same issue that has plagued me for years. I always thought that this was a Flash plugin issue, but it does occur on HTML5 as well. A friend of mine verified that this does not occur in Linux, but only on Windows. It would be great to have this fixed, as it's honestly the only thing that's making me use Chrome all the time, as I don't want to have multiple browsers open.

I have an old 160 GB iPod Classic, when I plug it into my computer to update it, it connects and the immediately disconnects, is there a way to stop this from happening so I can sync it?

Does anyone have a way of making it not to do this? It will still charge and everyting off that cord. It's just really odd.

Have you tried this?
- iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes
- iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows

When you are pulling music from a hard drive and it says music can not be found, is there a way to stop it from doing that every time I play music from my computer? It used to find all music now it only finds 1 song at a time

When pulling music from a harddrive and it say music can not be found, is there a way to stop this from happening every time I play music on my computer? It used to find all music when serching for song but now it only finds 1 at a time. I have over 2000 songs so I can't go through this every time.

1) However I do not want to move my itunes Music onto the flash drive, only my Movies, and want to keep my music on my hard drive.
Is this possible?
Yes
2) Do the MacBook Air's not have a separate program other than itunes that can play movies? If so, is there a program I can get to solve this problem? I went onto the App Store to see if there was something I could download, but all the apps were for creating DVD's, not simply playing them.
If you can play the movies in iTunes, you should be able to open the movie files using Quicktime, which should already be on your system. If you have already transferred the files to your flash drive, open the flash drive in Finder, and hold control when you click on the movie file (or right click if you have the enabled) and select Open With Quicktime Player. This should play the movie directly from the flash drive.
If you want to set all .m4v files to open with Quicktime by just double clicking on the file, you can follow the steps here: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2573/os_x_how_to_change_default_application_to_op en_file_type/
3) If 1. & 2. questions are solvable, will it then be safe to delete the movies from my itunes?
You can move the TV shows to your flash drive by dragging them from the iTunes window to your flash drive in Finder or the flash drive icon on the desktop. When you are sure everything is transferred over to your external device, you can delete the movie from iTunes. I recommend playing the videos from the flash drive first before deleting them in iTunes.
To delete the videos from iTunes, you can highlight them and press the delete key on your keyboard. In the next prompt, you would want to move it to the trash so that it is deleted from your internal hard drive.
I hope that helps!

When I save photos or videos from my iPhone 4S to my PC they are all sideways. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? All are taking with the phone in portrait mode.

Shot videos ONLY in landscape. For photos choose what's you like. Maybe you have to rotate photos on PC. What's your operating system?

Are you leaving the box unchecked to Manually manage music & videos? You don't need to to add anything to the iPhone.
Simply drag the playlist to the iPhone to manually add it.

Help please I can't save any documents now! Thanks in advance all, it is truly appreciated. how can find the hidden temporary files using the terminal what do i type in?

It's more likely a failed Erase Free Space, which creates a huge temporary file; that's why it looks like you have no more available drive space. You can recover from this. See these links

Please help me. i buy Ipad 2 and I couldn't find hole for Sim

If you've got the US Verizon model then it doesn't use a sim, it is CDMA based - and the wifi only model doesn't have a sim slot either. If it is 3G and takes a sim then if holding the iPad with the screen towards you, the slot should be on the left-hand side towards the top.
Edit : there is a picture of the slot, and how to open it, in chapter 1 of the manual which can be downloaded from here http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad
