HT3576 I need to update my IOS otherwise I can't use half the apps... how do I do it without wiping everything out...

^^^^^^^^

Depends which generation of iPod you have. Older iPods cannot update to the latest version of iOS.
If you use iTunes to look for an update (with the iPod connected to iTunes), if you see a message saying that your iPod is up to date, that indicates (usually) which gen you have.
1st gen Touch can go as high as iOS 3.1.3
2nd gen Touch can go as high as iOS 4.2.1
3rd & 4th gen can install iOS 5.
Alternatively, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 will help you identify which model and generation you have.
If you can update the iOS to a higher version, back up your iPod first.

I'm running OSX 10.9.2, when my system updated it required my Apple ID... When I provided it, it said that AppleID hadn't been used at the App Store... so now I'm locked out of my system... what do I do??

First, there are no PPC Macs that can run Snow Leopard or later. Did you buy your iMac used? Where did you get Mavericks in the first place? If it was installed by the seller, then you are not licesnsed to use his/her copy.
Do you know exactly what iMac model you have? If it's a post 2010 model you can do the following:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
            if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer. You may then go to the App Store to download Mavericks using your Apple ID.
If you have a 2010 model you may require a special firmware upgrade before you can do the above: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery.
If you have an earlier iMac then you must get Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed by installing a version of Snow Leopard either included on the software restore discs or:
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.

Some of my earliest photos are not showing on my phone after updating to iOS7. They can be seen in the app "over" which allows for art and lettering to be placed on a photo but I can not find an album for photos before 2012.

Some of my earliest photos are not showing on my phone5 after updating to iOS7. They can be seen in the app "over" which allows for art and lettering to be placed on a photo but I cannot find an album or year for photos before 2012 (in the photo app). The iphone says the photo content is there when I check in "about" under general in settings. So the pictures seem to be somewhere but I just can't access from from the photo app. Any suggestions. I also know that they were there before the iOS7 upgrade as I was looking for a pre 2012 picture last week and it we there.

After updating to IOS 7 I can't see an purchased apps

After updating to IOS 7 on my iPad 4 when I go to the App Store and click on Purchased, the Purchased tab is completely empty and when I go to the App Store I see the price for the app I already own. When I click on the price of that app I get either You already purchased this item or You already own a previous version of this item and in either case I get prompted to download this item or update for free. The previously purchased apps doesn't have the iCloud download icon as it did in IOS 6.1.3. All of my purchases in IOS 6.1.3 does not show up in the purchased tab in IOS 7. I can see all of the purchased apps in the purchased list of iTunes 11.1.

Hello everyone,
I faced this same issue, but not from updating to iOS 7.
In my case all my music playlists disappeared. In another post I found a process which got them back, but after I'd done so I noticed that my Apps list and my books list were both empty, even though I'd bought plenty of books & apps. The following trick I discovered restored both of these lists.
1. Within iTunes, select the Apps tab within the library, to show the (empty) window of all your apps.
2. Now in a finder window, open your iTunes folder. On my computer this is in my Music folder.
3. Within the iTunes folder, locate and drag the "Mobile Applications" folder into the apps window.
Presto!!
The same thing worked for finding the missing books, except that the books folder is stored one level deeper, within the iTunes Music folder, and of course I dragged it into the books window.
I don't know if it matters, but I'm still running OSX 10.6.8 because I have use some legacy OSX apps that won't run in anything more recent, but my iTunes version is 11.1.4.
I hope this helps a few people...

Music App: After updating to ios 5 I can't flip through the album covers any more. Option does not appear when I hold my iphone in the specific angle.

..... is that a software problem due to ios 5? What can I do to fix that?
Thanks
Waymore

I am back with an update. I turned off Match on both the ipad and the iphone 5. By doing so I was able to sync my Iphone and ipad to itunes and store the music on my devices rather than the slow streaming. So far this has fixed my problems with the iphone I have all my music, playlist, most of the album art and so on. But the ipad is a different story. I have the music and artist but not one playlist I am sure Apple will have an upgrade soon that will address these issues they are usually very good about this.
Now have any of you experienced another problem that has existed as long as I have used faces in Aperture.
I have over 200 faces and they are organized a-z problem is I have this going on A-Z folowed by a few that start over A-Z followed by another few A-Z and again a 4th time A-Z. Imagine how difficult it is while I am showing someone the great features of my iphone, ipad and imac. Which I do talk highly of all the time. But how do I explain that even though their name starts with a or b or what ever they are not important enough to me to be in the first list of A-Z or even the 2nd or 3rd list of A-Z someohow they are in the 4th section of the list!!!!
I have managed to get the Imac to fix this but for some reason the IOS devices do not. Any ideas?
Thanks Al

If you can't update via wifi, you can use a friend's computer, or an Apple store will do it for you.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

You should get your keyboard checked as it's repeating on a lot of keys and makes you look silly.
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
