HT5349 After reset I keep getting prompted to create or join Open Directory.
I followed this procedure and after step 5 I get the option to create a new Open Directory domain. I already have a master on this server, but I can't get beyond this dialog box to configure the Profile Manager. If I click through to create a new Open Directory Master the process dies saying a master already exists. Can I get around this via the command line?
I thought I would report back with what I did to get Profile Manager back to a working state for me. Since I couldn’t get past the dialog box that kept asking me to either create an OD master or join an OD I decided to delete OD altogether. I did this twice with differing results in the outcome of the Profile Manger service configuration. The first time I recreated the OD I got Profile Manger to run, but the certificates were buggered and wouldn’t allow me to deliver a trusted profile to my MacBook Pro. So, the second time I deleted OD I took things a step further.
Deleted the replica
Deleted the master
Waited for about 15 minutes for things to “cook”
Rebooted both servers
Opened Keychain Access and deleted the self-signed machine certificates on the replica
Opened Keychain Access and deleted the self-signed machine certificates on the master and deleted the OD certificate as well (when you delete the OD it doesn’t go back and delete everything and you will pick-up configuration settings stashed in files, certificates, etc., when you run the wizard again)
Installed the OD master (see http://krypted.com/iphone/configuring-using-profile-manager-2-in-os-x-mountain-l ion-server/ Apple, please take notes on how document your server products)
Setup Profile Manager and applied the newly generated self-signed Code Signing certificate (this won’t be created correctly unless the OD certificate is generated correctly when you re-install OD. That’s why I deleted the OD certificate in step 6)
Installed my replica
Downloaded a trusted profile on the MacBook Pro
So, to sum things up I follow the procedure http://krypted.com/iphone/configuring-using-profile-manager-2-in-os-x-mountain-l ion-server/ after steps 1 through 6. Your mileage may vary, but this worked for me. I should add that I am connected to a Microsoft AD as well to provide authentication for Mac users. I think the Profile Manager is going to be a good tool for me, but it seems a little fragile and the documentation by Apple is limited (the richest company in the history of the world should be able to document their products better and have them available when the product is released – steps off of soapbox).

My iPhone is locked due to setting up a passcode after loading new version 7. I have tried to reset but keep getting turn of "find my iphone". I can't get into the phone to turn this off. What do I do now?

Trying to make a purchase on itunes and keep getting prompted to verify account information. I've done this and when i click done, it says to fix errors; i repeat the process then it says to contact apple support. Any ideas or other experiences with this? I've had this happen before and it got resolved after i called them and it took a few days, not very convenient. The same thing happened when I was just trying to update my account info with a new billing / account address.
ThanksYou will need to do what it says, contact iTunes Support. These are user-to-user support forums, if you thought you were contacting Apple by posting here. Go here:

to contact the iTunes Store.

When installing creative cloud on osx I keep getting prompted to download a new version
when installing creative cloud on osx I keep getting prompted to download a new version which upon trying to install prompts me to download again. I recently used migration utility to move everything to a new box.
Mac migration does not always work with Cloud programs
Uninstall... run the Cleaner... Restart your computer... Reinstall
-http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html (and uninstall)
-using the cleaner after uninstalling and before reinstalling will usually help

Keep getting prompts re: iCloud does not recognize my address. Any ideas?
Recently the system would not recognized my apple ID/password, so I simply clicked on "forgot" and reset it. Weird, but it happened. Now everything works fine, except I keep getting prompts from Contacts, Mail and iCloud informing me that iCloud doesn't recognize my ID (email) or it just can't connect. Wonder what this is all about? Everything works, but these prompts are driving me nuts!
Try going to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac, then go back and sign back in. See if that stops the prompts for your password.
(This deletes the account and iCloud data from your Mac, but not from iCloud. Your data will download back to your Mac when you sign back in.) -
How do I change my iCloud Account email? I keep getting prompted to enter a password associated with an old email account I no longer use. I do not have the password for it. How do I change my iCloud Account?
You can't delete an existing account, you can only choose to stop using it. It will still be there should you decide to use it again in the future.

I recently purchased a song on my iphone. When I synced my phone to my computer, I was prompted to authorize the computer to play the song, which I did. It did not compute and thus when I try to play the song in iTunes on my Macbook Pro, I keep getting prompted to authorize the computer. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it? I also cannot play the song now from my iPhone. I even tried re-downloading it from the iTunes store and that did not help.
That suggests the track is damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item. -

When trying to download apps on my new iPad I keep getting prompted to update my security questions for my safety. When I choose this option it freezes and won't load the questions, however, when I hit not now it won't let me download. What do I do?
Reboot your iPad and then see if you can set the security questions.
Reboot 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. -

Error message tells me to reset password. After resetting password I get confirmation email that new password is set. As soon as I try to access App Store I get error message that password is not valid.
Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.

Was the phone unlocked offically by the carrier before restoring? If it was unlocked by a hack it will be locked again after a restore or update.
