HT4061 How come under devies it shows no devices when I am set up with iCloud. Trying to find out how to find my iphone
How do I find my iPhone 4s using my computer. I know to go to iCloud but it's telling me they can't find me. I know I have an iCloud account and backed up my phone to be able to find it.
You're welcome. I've never set up an alias but according to this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622,
"The text you provide becomes the email address ([email protected]). An alias must contain between 3 and 20 characters."
This certainly implies that the alias is not required to be your registered name, and only becomes the prefix for a new @me.com address. There might be something going on with the servers right now as they are probably very focused on getting ready for the iPhone 5 pre-order release, which is supposed to happen any minute now. You might have better luck if you waited a while.

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

Using two separate Chase Visas, Apple Oay is working fine but the transaction list is very generic. It lists time, date, city, state and two dashes where amount should be. Shouldn't it at least show the name of the store and the amount?
Hi. I don't know if this will help, but I had this problem too. Mine quit working after I used earbuds. I was told that there is a switch inside the earbud port that tells the device to divert sound to earbuds. This can get "stuck" and the device keeps thinking the earbuds are plugged in. After reinserting the earbuds a few times, the switch was released and my speakers started working again.
I'm not a techie.... this is just what I found to work after my iPhone 4S speakers quit. -
I am still having issues with the TOC pictures. I got several chapter/section photos to show up, but can't seem to repeat this success. It is some mystery that happened during a time that I had practically given up. This should be such a simple thing. Drag and place a picture into the placeholder and it shows up in the TOC....right? Help, help help! want to get this thing done and it's taken two days of work just get some of the photos to show up. I am going to have to publish this ibook with no photos in several sections.....why can't this be simple? I have even had someone else spend hours trying to figure this out. This software is such a GREAT idea....come on...help with this little part of it.
I had the same problem myself. I got to the point where I couldn't replace the photo, of a new chapter, in the TOC. What I did was to duplicate an existing chapter that was working and was able to replace it's TOC's photo. I also found that if you try different areas of the photo you can sometimes get it to replace correctly. For example, instead of dragging the new photo to the middle of an existing photo, try dragging it to the right top corner.

How come under the "Library Tab" when I select a specific Channel, some of the Presets effects show as empty files thus rendering them unusable?
No problem at all, thks for your reply. I did not download from the App Store. I bought the full Logic Studio software back in 2008 so I have all the disks.
I did look on the Library/Application Application Support/Logic/Plug-in Settings and there are 26 files listed and I recognize quite a few that i have been using that seem to work OK. But somtimes, as you know you can click on say, EFM1 but then by clicking on that, you have to choose another on of the option effects such as 07 Warped FM and then to Aqua Enchant befoer you can be finished selecting what you need. This is where I run into the lost content. Actually I have a book I' learning from called Logic Pro 8 Beyond the Basics and it hands on exercises to do, the books written well, and I'mn dong well with it, but if you have a major question you must ask, thats when I need help otherwise you can't proceed further.
But back to to The File incons Library/Application Application Support/Logic/Plug-in Setting yes, I do sse the 26 File Folders and the folder icon is Blue which looks correct, however, when I try to open those files, there appears to be no content inside of them. I'm not saying this is abnormal as I dont' really know, I'm just reporting back. So does this mean that the files are in fact missing content?
By the way, some of the plug in settngs in the Library work fine and those files show up as "blue" color but LIbray always lets me know when the files show a white "Zero." in the file.icon. -
how come my mac isnt showing my external hard drive after installing os x maverick? and how to i fix that??
How do you mean it isn't showing the external drive? If you mean on the desktop, click Finder on the menu bar, Preferences, General and check the boxes for Show these items on the desktop - make sure hard drives is checked.
If you mean it is not showing in Finder or Disk Utility, make sure it is turned on, reboot and see if that mounts it so it shows up. -

How come it doesn't show how much money there is left in my iTunes gift card? I have tried putting in the code more than once, but all my tablet says is that the card has already been redeemed.
I haven't got access to the server right now (so I can't provide the complete details), but something like 6-700 GB (which is more than it shows in the client time machine windows, but less than what is true (which was around 1,5 TB))

I really need someone to help me. I have been trying to figure out how to select a PDF document to convert to a Word doc. When I go to select a PDF file, all that shows up is the WORD docs. does not show ANY of my PDF files... Please help me figure out what is going on? We have it set on auto renewal so I know its not that we haven't renewed this subscription, because we pay automatically.
Hi olivias,
It sounds like there may be some confusion on your system about what application should be associated with PDF files. You can reset filename associations by following the steps in these articles (depending on your operating system):

how come there is another apple id appears when im about to update the applications that i have downloaded?
When a stranger's Apple ID appears on your Mac in conjunction with an update for an app that you have never installed, you have a pirated app on your Mac. The pirated app is not the app calling for the update. This pirated app has been cracked with the MAS receipt from usually a free app, often Angry Birds or Twitter, acquired by the person whose Apple ID you see.
You may not have realized that it was a pirated app when you installed it. You may have believed that it was a trail version or a "free" version.
All MAS apps have a MAS receipt in their app bundle. Check any app acquired from the MAS. Right click on the app's icon in your Apps folder and choose Show package contents. In the Contents folder is a _MASReceipt folder and in that folder is the coded MAS receipt. It has the Apple ID of the MAS account that bought/acquired the app from the MAS. It is that receipt that the MAS uses to alert you that an app has an update. There would not be a notice of an update with someone else's Apple ID showing in the MAS on your Mac, if there was not an app with a receipt from this person's account somewhere on your Mac.
Download the free app FindAnyFile (FAF);
http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
This app is easier to use and seems to be more powerful than Spotlight. Open FAF and in the box type _MASReceipt and press Find. It should come up with a list of every app on the Mac with a MAS receipt. Compare the apps with receipts in FAF's list with your purchased apps list in the Mac App Store. The odd app out should be the pirated app. -
Hi, I am going to an exhibition where there is no internet access but would like to show people around my website. I have added "scrapbook" but cannot work out how to 'save' an entire site for viewing off-line. I thought there was a way to specify 1/2/3 clicks from home page etc. Please help. DAVID
OK, solved my own problem, but am posting here in case someone else has the same problem. It totally does not make sense, especially considering that it stopped after I reinstalled Lion, but the good thing is I have my files back.
I scoured the web and found a lot of other people are having the same problem. Most of them didn't have a clue how to fix it. This discussion was the most helpful to me: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2569766?start=30&tstart=90
So, I went to the WD page and followed the instructions. The first suggestion was to plug it directly into a wall, because it may not be getting enough power from a power cord. I did this and it fixed the problem. Who would have guessed?
Anyway, if anyone else is having this problem, go to your manufacturer's website for help. Here's WD's help: http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1164/related/1/session/L2F2LzEvd GltZS8xMzI2MzIzMjUwL3NpZC82dmo0blZOaw%3D%3D -
I just switched over to an iPhone 4 CDMA on the verizon network the other day. I connected with my MBP/ w Lion and the sync seemed to go flawless.... All my date was pushed thru the iCloud, but then I saw that my main email address @me.com says that it is inactive when I look at it in Settings- Mail-Accounts. I can see that the iCloud account name and password is wrong, but I can not seem to find out how to correct it. Can anyone help me?
Thanks a lot,
FredYou either have an incredibly complex computer setup or I think you are confusing terminology here. If you have iTunes set to share your library with others in your iTunes preferences then other computers in the area will see it as an item when they are running their iTunes and have it set to check for shared libraries. Your husband is probably seeing this when running iTunes on his computer. You can disable this sharing on your computer and/or he can set his not to pick up shared libraries.
By the way, an iTunes account is something you log into when you want to buy something from Apple. On your computer it is simply your iTunes collection or your iTunes application. So you need to turn off sharing in your iTunes application preferences.
Your husband is seeing "his" iTunes collection when running iTunes, but it is possible he doesn't have anything in it if it is a brand new computer. -

Can't see 23/24 viewer version when creating new folios
