HT3462 Is this article still true?

Is this article still correct. i tried to do this in the messages app on my computer and it didnt work.

Hi,
The answer is a sort of yes and no at the same time.
It is still possible to send SMS via an AIM Buddy list.
Howerver the Menu items that used to exist are not longer there.
It can only be text.
It Has to be from a Computer that has been set to the USA region.
The phone in question has to be on a US carrier in this list
Method.
You need an AIM account in Messages > Preferences > Accounts (it can be an AIM valid ID such as a Apple ID ending in @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com)
It needs to be enabled.
If you are not displaying Buddy lists go to the Window Menu in Messages.
The default is for a combined Buddy list ("Buddies" in the menu).
They can be separated out in the Preferences > General Section > And unticking the "Gather all Accounts into one List"
IN the AIM Buddy list click the Add Buddy + icon at the bottom of the Buddy List and chose Add Buddy.
Add the phone Number as if it were a Buddy's Screen Name with a leading +1 in front (as in +1234567890)
It will be automatically formatted.
In the Contacts List you can Set the Edit option for a Contact and Add the phone Number as an AIM Screen Name there.
I tend not to do this as if they have an AIM name as well you cannot tell which is On Line without mousing over the Buddy list.
If you do add them to the Contacts list as their Own card it will look a bit like this
This is obviously a Mocked up Card and Number and will not work (you will get a response from the AIM servers saying it is not valid.)

HT1331 Why does this article still not indicate that Airport Disk Utility no longer exists?

ADU stopped existing after 10.6. I see this article was updated in May; that means two revisions of OSX which don't contain this utility have been announced or released at that time yet it's still wrong. It's near the top of google rankings, making this a crappy thing to do to your users who are looking for information, Apple.

Yes, you are correct - there is no longer a Airport Disk Utility. It was discontinued. That article was accurate up until 10.7 was introduced.
You cannot call "from the main window of AirPort Disk Utility enable "Show AirPort Disks in the menu bar"" a 'typo' - it is flat-out wrong, as that menu option no longer exists at all. So the instructions can not be applicable.
This could be corrected simply by adding "10.6 and earlier OSX versions" or the like to the products affected list. But leaving this entirely unusable set of unstructions up as it stands is misleading and counter-productive.

HT5244 Re OS x v10.5 or earlier. This article still does not answer my question. Is the malware still active after I disable Java?

I have a PowerBook G4 that I would like to use exclusively for my online banking. It may be infected with the Flashback malware virus. If I disable Java, will this effectively block the malware? Or must I completely remove the malware from my computer?

You need to remove the malware. Java is only used to inject the code.
I didn't think the flashback stuff was for G4's.
But if it was, first look in your ~/Library/LaunchAgents since that was one of the more common injection points (not the only one).
Look here for a cookbook of some other places to look.

HT1449 Ok. I have an '06 Macbook Pro still running on Snow Leopard 10.6.8, and iTunes 10.6.1. I did everything in this article leading up to step 14. I thought I trashed the right file, now I can't access my music which is on my external drive now. Help!

As stated in my above Subject field. I have an older Macbook Pro and I was attempting to move my iTunes media file using this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449
After getting to step number 14, I "thought" I selected the correct media file to trash from my system. Now I have my correctly copied Itunes file on my external drive that can't be accessed when I reopen iTunes. How can I get iTunes to open to my new destination now? I went to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced and selected the new location then click OK, but it still won't access.
What am I doing wrong here?

I had the same problem and found the answer!
In Outlook, go to the Help menu, then Check for Updates.
I downloaded & updated Outlook, then it upgraded my database, and everything worked out fine for me!
Good luck!

I am having the same problem for one song. I've tried deauthorizing and then authorizing the computer but it doesn't work. I can play the song on my iPhone and iPad but not my computer. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

HT4085 Did all these things mentioned in this article, even did a system reset including data and other settings. iOS is up to date, still the iPad 2 display is not rotating.

Did all these things mentioned in this article, even did a system reset including erase data and other settings. iOS is up to date, still the iPad 2 display is not rotating.
This happened first a couple of weeks before, then I did a reset and it worked. Then after 2-3 days it happened again, I updated the iOS and it worked after that. Next time it happened, I tried all possible methods, including switching to software - rotation lock on/off. The hardware when turns to off/on, shows the correct icon on the screen of the lock and unlocked state. But the rotation is not happening.

Just check again.
If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.
If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If the iPad screen still will not rotate - turn it over and gently tap it on the back a couple of times - but gently tap it. Make sure that the screen is protected.

TS3276 I've tried everything in this article and still can't send or receive email. I also contacted my provider and everything is working on their end. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Went to Apple Genius Bar. Info from them plus my provider resolved the issue

HT1277 I have tried everything in this article and still unable to receive email.i can receive email on my iPhone. What other steps can I use?

What steps do I take next. I have tried everything is this article.

Interesting ...
Your posting title mentions iPhone, but you seem to be talking about iPad.
Also, the article you attached references Macs ...
Anyway, here's a guide to setting up email for iPad:

HT3924 This article is not true!!

I have a Imac 27 Mid 2010 and after reading the article I bought a ridiculously expensive Thunderbolt cable to use my MAC as a monitor, but it does not work!! The cable is fine because on another iMAC it does work, by my IMac 27 is Mid 2010 and this article says it should work. Why isn't apple realising a firmware update hiwch makes this possible? I stept over from Microsoft to Apple because I did not like the way they were doing, but Apple is really becoming more and more like Microsoft...

Stefano Stramigioli wrote:
Difficult to understand for me.
Let's try to make it simple then:
Forget about Thunderbolt, at least for what you're up to here, except for the last point here below.
Do as the article says:
- Target Display mode requires a Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable...
- Connect a male-to-male Mini DisplayPort cable to the Mini DisplayPort on each computer.
Do not "read" words in the article which are not written there.
Return your Thunderbolt cable and, again, get a Mini-DP->Mini-DP cable. Yes, it will work.

TS4088 why is there a limit on 3 years? it should be all the MacBook Pro mid 2010 with symptoms, there should get their logic board changed for free, mine mac is 3 month late and i had this problem for over a year, but i first saw this article today :(

Hey Clintonfrombirmingham
I called Apple technical support in Denmark, but with no positive reply.
She couldn't do anything, and said that They had sent a recall Email about the problem and with their offer to repair the Macbook Pro, but I'd never recieved an Email about the problem. She wasn't in power to make an exception. It can't be true that i paid a lot of money, for a product that can't barely stand on its own feets, Apple didn't tell me that the product I was about to buy, would restart every 5 minute. and now when they know the problem, they wont repair it? it just don't make sense for me. If a car seller discovers that all the brakes in a car he had sold, will crash after some years he will call all the cars back to repair no mater what. i just don't understand how Apple will make good service for their custumers, by extending the warranty from 2 to 3 years, but wont take the computers there is a little bit to old, 4 months will make the difference. i can't believe it.
What can i do now?
best regards Oskar

HT1923 This article contains the only thing that worked for me. I also had to sign out of iCloud and uninstall it. Then I had to delete all files and folders from all of those applications that were under Program Files, Program Files x86, and Users.

This article contains the only thing that worked for me. I also had to sign out of iCloud and uninstall it. Then I had to delete all files and folders from all of those applications that were under Program Files, Program Files x86, Program Data and Users. My iPhone 4 will now sync with iTunes both in its USB-connected mini dock and over Wi-Fi. It's unfortunate (negligent programming on the part of Apple?) that the upgrade to iTunes 11 did not remove all of those files as part of the upgrade process.

I am having the same issue....Same address for years - same as USPS - I tried 5 times (3 macs and 2 iPhones) and now i have 5 CHARGES for 1.00 each on my credit card. I took the credit card info off so they don't charge me anymore. How can they charge me yet still not allow me to download free updates and say I have an invalid address? I'm sure I will spend weeks or months trying to get a credit out of these incompetent idiots.

Every time I swap between my SIM cards with the iPhone all the messages that we're sent whenever the SIM card was not in my phone never show! is there anyway I can stop this and still get the massages?

Hello SeamusFitz,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
In order to get your messages to show up on your other phone, you would need to have a backup of the phone with the messages, and then restore the new phone from that backup.
According to article iTunes: About iOS backups found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946 iTunes will backup your Messages.
iTunes will back up the following information
Messages (iMessage and carrier SMS or MMS pictures and videos).
This will help you backup and restore your device:
