Why do I have to change the password for my Apple ID every 3 months?
Until recently I assummed that everyone had to change their password every 3 months, but on searching the web I found only a couple of mentions of other people who have to do this.
My Apple ID was originally set up when I bought a Mac through my company (which was not a developer) from AppleStore Small & Medium Businesses in 2002. Perhaps all accounts set up that way in 2002 work like this?
The only solutions I can think of are:
a) Change something in my Password and Security settings, but I can't see anything relevant.
b) Move to a new Apple ID, but I think I would lose access to existing apps I have purchased?
c) Ask Apple to change my settings, but the response a developer with this problem got from Apple was: "I am unable to change the password requirements and restrictions for your Developer Account".
Anyone else have to keep changing their password?With hindsight, the previous response I got from Apple was just a way of shelving the problem.
Having just had to reset my password after another 3 months, I contacted Apple again, and it happened that the senior advisor whom the phone agent consulted had had exactly the same problem as me, and had found that iTunes could fix it. However when I spoke to iTunes they told me I needed to speak to Apple ID account security. The Apple ID account security representative spoke to a senior adviser, then told me that it would be fixed after I reset my password. However I am not convinced that anything was actually done, so I may be back here in another 3 months ...
To modify Roger's advice, the solution I was given is: go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'All Products and Services' in the first column, 'iTunes' in the second column, 'iTunes Store' in the third column, then "Account Management" and "Apple ID account security", then "Talk to Apple support now". A complication is that the "Talk to Apple support now" option only appears when UK English is selected. So you either need to select UK at the top, or find another way of making phone contact (the email link just went back to the person in iTunes)! -
Why do I have to change my password to manage my account?
I am trying to change the questions for my account safety qeustions but when I try it requires me to change my password. I will forget the password if I change it.
Apple ID security issues -
Account security issues almost always require you to speak directly to an Apple representative to securely establish your identity as the account holder. You can set it up so that Apple calls you, either immediately or at a time convenient to you.

Why do I have to change my plan when I switch my device?
My IPhone 4s isn't working at all and I was told I could temporarily switch to another device. I am switching to a basic phone. When I proceed online to switch the device, it tells me I have to switch plans as well. I don't need more data, but I do not want to go down in data.
mrhelper wrote:
I assume you have unlimited data? Unlimited data was never an option for basic phones so that's probably the reason.
Actually basic phones did have an option for an unlimited data plan at one time. Not any more though. -
Why do I have to change printer settings when using Photoshop tiff?
I'm creating a tithe envolope for my church. The text portions were created in the psd using the text tool of course. But, for our church logo, I used a 300 dip tiff, scaled and positioned it at the top left part of the layout. This is all being done inside a life-size area using guide lines to simulate the edges of the envelope. Then I save the entire thing out from Photosop as a tiff. I created a MS Word doc and used Insert>Picture to place the tiff at a place in the Word doc that puts it in the right location when envelopes are loaded into the laserjet printer.
Here's the glitch. If I let the Word doc print at it's default resolution of 300 dpi, the church logo shows up looking very ragged/pixelated. Only by going through the hassle of resetting the printer properties each time to 600 dpi do I get a smooth, clean output. What's going on?Sounds like an issue with the print driver not retaining previous settings to me.
Keep in mind that printer settings are saved with some kinds of documents (e.g., PSD files). I'm not sure if that's the case with a TIFF, but if so, make sure you save the TIFF file after you print so the settings will be available next time you print it.
There is a known issue with some drivers where you have to go through a few extra steps to get them to retain the settings you make in the Photoshop dialog, but I don't see how that might apply here. To see if it does, do the following:
File - Print.
In the Photoshop print dialog, make whatever settings you like.
Click the [ Print Settings... ] Button, and exit the print driver dialog with [ OK ].
Click [ Print ].
Save and Close your document.
Open the document again.
File - Print.
Click the [ Print Settings... ] button.
Is your dpi preference remembered?

How do you add musci to the Iphone? I just installed itunes 11.1.5.5. Now the format in Itunes is changed. when I am trying to add music to my iphone, there is no longer an add button under the Iphone device. Why did they have to change this? Can anyone help, Im tryiong to add music.
Correct. When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box. This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing.
You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands. It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
10.6 software is not downloadable. You must purchase a DVD disc. You can order it from the on-line apple store

Why do I have to change source input to mono when it's recorded in stereo through my interface from an acoustic pick up in order to hear anything in playback?
It's a dean markley acoustic pick up with a mono 1/4" jack. It's plugged into a focusrite interface. GarageBand only records it in stereo and only plays it back in mono.Watts100woo wrote:

you appear to already know the answer, however...
GB is not recording it in stereo, nor could it

Why do I have to change plans when I upgrade my device?
I went to a Verizon store today to check out upgrade devices since I'm due in two weeks. I was told that I would also have to change my plan when I upgrade my device.... why? Never did before. I get 4gig of data for $30, why would I want to pay $70? Makes no sense to me.If that is the case, I might as well check all carriers and possibly switch.
The new pricing is to expensive. Only an idiot would pay full price for a phone. I'd rather deal with the sticky "w" on my keyboard and keep the plan I already have. I am looking at the other carriers and found T Mobile might have what I'm looking for. I can buy a phone on EBay and use it there. I don't need unlimited phone and messaging if I have to pay so much more for the same data plan I already have. I'm under $100 now, the new plan would be around $120. I pay $30 for 4G data. New packages are $70 for the same data package.

Why did you have to change the layout of Firefox?
I would like to know why you have gone and changed the layout of Firefox?
I am still on Fx 3.6.18 because quite frankly 5.0.1 looks horrible.
Why did you have to change everything and move things around. Why couldn't you have given us the same layout as 3.6.18 but with these new upgrades.
I will never download Fx5. 3.6 was perfect.
Also how can I contact Fx without upgrading?Sorry the old Feedback page - Hendrix - used with older versions of Firefox was disabled near the end of 2010.
In Firefox 4+ versions there's a Help > Submit Feedback... menu item which leads here: http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/feedback <br />
But you can't submit feedback there with an older version of Firefox, currently you need Firefox 5.0 or higher.
The decision to change the GUI was made by Mozilla collectively, not by a small group of developers or by one person. If you put your efforts toward customizing Firefox to suit your tastes, it would be a lot more productive than trying to find out who to blame and where to complain about the changes made to Firefox. Geez dude, it ain't the end of the world. It's only a web browser, which can be easily modified to make it look like you thing it should look. -
If I have a mac mail account why do I have to change to i-cloud?
If I have a mac mail account why do I have to change to i-cloud?
Will it cease to work on 30 June, and if so do I have to buy leapord and then lion, updgrade and re-sync/lose a number of things?Welcome to the Apple community.
Yes, if you do not migrate from your MobileMe account to iCloud you will lose access to all your services after June 30, 2012.
Lion (10.7.2 or better) is required for iCloud. If you have a MobileMe account Apple are giving you Snow Leopard free of charge, this will install the App Store on your computer from where you will be able to purchase and upgrade to lion. -
I don’t know why but I create a WEB site and my friends who use a pc windows, have a lot of trouble when they open my movies. The other friends who use Apple, they don’t have problem. I have iMovie11 and my extension file is .m4v. Is it because the extension .m4v is bad for windows ?
No web site expert here but I would suggest changing the .m4v to .mp4 and ask one of those friends if they still have problems. .m4v is something I always associate with iTunes and don't really see it used elsewhere.

Please help. I changed my apple id password and now cannot use facetime and my icloud continues to prompt me for my password and I continue to give it but, I repeatedly am prompted for the password unless I cancel the icloud. I have tried changing my password back to the password I had before and this did not work. I have tried to use another e-mail address for facetime and had verified that e-mail address and this did not work. I do not know how to fix this problem. I have thought about changing my apple id but am not sure how I would be able to carry over the same credit card number to the new apple ID. I loved my Mac book Pro because I could facetime my boyfriend while I am working away and now I cannot. I am starting to hate Mac.
The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

I have 3 ipod touches. Just got a new one and set up an apple id for it. But when i use the ipod to go to store to make a purchace. It tells me to sign in, and brings up an Apple ID and ask for password. the problem is the Apple ID its bringing up is for my other Ipods. How do i change it to bring up my id i set up with That ipod. I never once put that id into the current ipod. Like i dont even know how it got there.
This is what yo have to do:
Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign in with the other account.
That is the only place.
Try signing out. Then
Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Then sign back in. -
