  • When I try to download an app I am asked to give additional security questions, but I am timed out every time. If I press the "not now" option the app download resets. At the moment I can't download any apps because of this.

    If you have a credit card on file on top of your gift card then it is asking you to confirm the security code for the card, which for a Visa or MasterCard is 3 digits located on the back, or AMEX has 4 digits on the front.  This happens just to ensure that you are the account holder, and would happen from time to time whether it was a free or paid app, even if you have a credit through your gift card.  This doesn't mean that your credit card will be charged.

  • Please help! I just sync my notes to icloud of my ipad mini but after that all notes has been covered by iphone's and all notes are missing from iPad,how could i restore it?

    Please help! I just sync my notes to icloud of my ipad mini but after that all notes has been covered by iphone's and all notes are missing from iPad,how could i restore it?

    It's very possible that you did just as you suspect. One of the later Note file over wrote the one stored on your iPad when you synced.
    When one does a sync of their iPad a backup of the iPad is created first. If that backup was still available you might be able to find the Note file there. But more than likely, if you are letting the iPad and iPhones sync on their own over Wi-Fi you have over written that back up as well.

  • How can I see that a file has been sent for workflow?

    How can I see that a file has been sent for workflow?
    During the workflow phase, the file is locked for workflow. But when the file has been approved (or denied) it will have the same status as it did before the workflow process (unless you trigger the workflow by changing its location).
    You can see the workflow history in the "My Request" view, but this way of determining whether a file has been approved seems complicated.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the transaction code, but my question is not answered yet.
    For example, I use STMS_IMPORT in the Development environement to see the list of the transport that has been made in that environement.
    I now have a list of these transports, with a status. But I wanna know if that transport that has been created in the Development environement has been moved to the Sandbox environement.
    STMS_IMPORT shows me only the list of transports that has been created in that environement. It doesn't tell me if a transport in DVL has been moved in the QAS, SANDBOX or PRODUCTION environment.
    Thanks again,
    Julien

  • TS4006 I got a email saying my lost iPhone has been found , but I went and checked and it isn't showing up on the map and it hasn't been 24hrs yet since I received the email! Why is this?

    I received a email saying my iPhone has been found and when I went to find it on the map in the app , it wasn't showing up on the map and it was in the 24hr time period , is there a way to locate my iPhone?

    Sounds to me like there may  be a hardware failure involved. Where exactly did you get the phone? Did you ever have it "unlocked"? If so, by whom? Did you ever jailbreak it?

  • It keeps asking me to verify my email address and says a verification link has been sent to my email, but no link is in my email! Please help!

    Hi Jangelique34, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
    I understand it can be very frustrating when you cannot verify your Apple ID. If you are not receiving the email to verify your Apple ID please refer to the attached article for information on how to resolve this situation. 
    If you didn't receive your Apple ID verification or reset email
    Cheers,

  • The link for "Reset of password has been sent successfully" never appears in my email

    I have 2 emails an old and a new and I do not know which one is correct. I try signing in with each separately and asking for a "RESET" of my password. In each case it states that a "link has been sent successfully to the email you provided" but nothing ever appears. I already have Thunderbird but is it a question of simply re registering?

    Thank you
    John

    you would not be able to post in this forum if you did not have the username and password, so what are you trying to do? does this have anything to do with Thunderbird, or is it all forum related.

  • I bought a used iPod touch and when I try to set up my iCloud account, it says that the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this device. Is there a way around this?

    I bought a used iPod touch and when I try to set up my iCloud account, it says that the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this device. Is there a way around this? I thought I could maybe set up the account on my PC and go from there, but it won't let me do that. It is forcing me to set up on the iPod. Am I doomed to have no iCloud account because I opted for a used device?

    See this previous discussion.

  • When I try to set up iCloud I get a message to covert my MobileMe account over to iCloud. The message says I must do this from my computer but from there I'm lost.

    When I try to set up my iCloud from the settings menu I get a message to go to me.com my computer to move my MobileMe information to iCloud.
    When do as it says there are no instructions on MobileMe on how to do this.
    Any one else have this issue and how did you fix the problem?

    The only messages I'm aware of are the ones that say that you can't move to iCloud right now because servers are too busy and that you can continue using MobileMe.  I'd try to go back to iClound in your Settings and give it another try.

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • I have just restored my iPad. When I try to set it up, it tells me that my configuration can not be downloaded. Never seen this before. Any ideas?

    Hello Abdo_Zain,
    I would be concerned too if I was not able to gain access to my iPad.  If you are unsure what your Apple ID is, you can find the steps in this article:
    Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625
    You can reset a forgotten Apple ID password by going to the following link:
    Apple - iForgot
    https://iforgot.apple.com
    Also, you may be able to skip the step of entering your Apple ID if you are setting up the iPad for the first time.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Sheila M.

  • When I try to set up my phone it says this device is not eligible for free iCloud account

    When I try to set up my phone it says this device is not eligible for free iCloud account

    Import them to your computer as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, then either delete them from your phone or exclude the camera roll from your iCloud backup by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your phone under Backups, then turn Camera Roll to Off under Backup Options.
    Also check Settings>General>Usage to see how much availble space is on your phone.  If you have to delete apps in order to take photos, you may be out of space on your phone.  If so, you need to delete something in order to create more space.

  • When I try to set up my time capsule it says that the PPPoE Server is not found... What does this mean and how do I fix it? Thanks !

    When I try to set up my time capsule it says that the PPPoE Server is not found... What does this mean and how do I fix it? Thanks !

    You are using PPPoE but there is no server to authenticate against.. or the modem is already connected and nothing else can join.
    Is this ADSL?
    Do you have the modem in bridge?
    How does it work with the modem working as router? ie what type of connection does your ISP supply.. eg PPPoE is only one.. PPPoA is another.. IPoA or ETHoA.. and sever other more specialised.. PPPoE can only work where it is supported.

  • When i try to set  up iCloud, it deletes all my calendar info. why is this happening and how to fix it?

    When I try to set up iCloud, it deletes all my calendar info.  Why, and how to prevent deletion of important info when setting up iCloud?

    When you set up icloud and turn on calendar syncing, you get a panel that asks whether to merge the local data on the device or computer with icloud data.  You must have responded NO.  If the calendars are now gone from your mac, then your only hope is to restore the data from your Time Machine backup.
