HT2534 This was the most tortuous account setup I've ever encountered. I now have 1.5 Apple IDs - one which seems to work and one which doesn't,

I bought my Ipod touch about 10 days ago. When I first looked into creating an Apple ID, the option not to give credit card details was there. Unfortunately, I didn't go ahead and create it at that point.
Yesterday, when I'd decided to create the ID, the 'none' option had apparently vanished. However, by the time I was 'asked' for card details, I'd already created the Apple ID, so, following the advice here didn't help (account already exists, etc).
In the end, I used a different email address, followed the instructions here, and things seem to be working (as in, I seem to be logged in to an Apple Id), although I never in fact had to download and install the free app (Spotify, if that helps). Nor does downloading album art seem to work, even though I'm apparently logged in to my account.
It shouldn't be this convoluted!
All this aside, I'm extremely pleased with the Ipod.

  • Why did they change Pages icon??? - it was the most beautiful I ever saw!

    I wonder why version 5.0.1 of Pages (that which comes with the new Mavericks OS has been changed. The previous one (an ink bottle with a stylographic pen) was the most beautiful icon I have ever seen. I particularly appreciated the transparency of the glass! And the icon was also functional, so different from anything else in shape and color and so nicely contrasted resulting in high visibility.
    Can someone tell the reason of this choice? Can I get back to the previous version of Pages (keeping the new OS)  to have my beloved icon back?
    thanks
    Dario

    I suspect that they simply changed the icon so that it was clear you were using version 5 of Pages and not the earlier version. 
    I agree that the new version is lacking many of the advanced options of the old version but I am sticking with it and finding ways to do most things I need to in the new version. 
    As I share password protected files with others using Word on Windows PC's, the new facility to password protect .doc files and then open them in pages is a godsend.  I spent half my life borrowing my wife's laptop to add passwords to documents via word, or strip passwords so I could work on the documents in Pages.  Now no longer have this issue Hurrah!!
    By the way, if you had Pages before and have installed the new Pages 5.0.1, then look in you applications folder, you should have the old version still there and can use it without needing to do a time-machine rollback.

  • HT1386 How many different computers can I sync my iPod with?  My laptop crashed and was completely wiped clean and this was the machine that my iPod synced with so I don't know if it will be counted as a "new" computer.

    How many different computers can I sync my iPod with?  My laptop crashed and was completely wiped clean and this was the machine that my iPod synced with so I don't know if it will be counted as a "new" computer when I sync my iPod.

    You can sync with onee at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • I need help identifying an old Macintosh game: it was a painting game where you rode a roller coaster to an art museum and you got to pick what kind of art work you were going to make. This was the early 90's and I've been trying to hunt it down

    I need help identifying an old Macintosh game: it was a painting game where you rode a roller coaster to an art museum and you got to pick what kind of art work you were going to make. It was animated, 2D i believe. This was the early 90's and I've been trying to hunt it down. I think there was some kind of animal in it, a giraffe maybe?

    Could you be thinking of Microsoft Home's "Fine Artist" for Macintosh, as shown in this Amazon.com listing?  This program was bundled with the Performa series of Macs during the mid-90s.

  • I cannot swipe up on my iPad to get to control centre.  I want to mirror to Apple TV.  this is the most frsutrating thing. No wonder Microsift rules

    I cannot swipe up on my iPad to get to control centre.  I want to mirror to Apple TV.  this is the most frsutrating thing. No wonder Microsift rules

    Is notification center showing up when you swipe down ?
    Check in your settings if control center is checked :
    Settings > control center > check both "lock screen" and "access within apps"
    gently swipe up beginning outside the screen, just a few inches up (you don't need to swipe up to the top of the screen.
    if detected the airplay option will appear in the control center.

  • TS3274 I recently traveled to Europe and purchased a one month subscription (as this was the only time amt available) and now am back...how do I go back to using 3G?

    I recently traveled to Europe and subscribed to the European 3G for one month (as this was the minimum amount of time to purchase).  I am back in states and it seems to be slowing my ipad down distinctly.  How do I unsubscibe to the European 3G?

    Hi Mike,     Should not be necessary to unsubscribe to the European 3G provider - you just need to remove the micro sim card from your Ipad.   If by chance you find out that your Ipad is "locked" into this European provider then you will need to contact them to unlock.      You then need to sign up to a local broadband internet provider to buy another 3G micro sim card on a plan, insert this into your Ipad and set up again.    NickGS

    My Iphone 4 crashed and I lost my entire contact list. I restored it to original factory settings but in trying to restore my data from my laptop via Itunes.. this was the feedback: Itunes could not restore the Iphone Dr Johnny Siu Chong because the Iphone refused the request.
    I cannot get help from Apple support because i am being asked to supply the serial number which is stored on the phone and I cannot restore my data in the first place. I am reluctant to "Set up as a new Iphone" since I don't know whether if I do I  may not then be able to access my data from Itunes...
    Please advise what to do. I did not see any tutorials on Youtube to help me with this.
    I look forward to an early response.

    Hey joshuafromisr,
    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

    or here:

  • I appear to have two separate Apple IDs and have purchased music under both.  Is there any way to consolidate the accounts into one?

    I appear to have two separate Apple IDs and to have purchased music under both of them (one is my husband's email account, the other is mine).  Is there a way to consolidate them, or is it possible to make the purchases made under two separte IDs downloadable on the same device(s)?

    Not at this time. There is no way to merge two Apple IDs or be signed into the iTunes Store with more than one Apple ID at a time on an iOS device. However, you can USB sync the music to more than one device at a time, no problem. As long as all the music is on the same computer.
