I accidentally turned on parental controls, when I try to turn them off it says my password is wrong when I know it's not. What do I do so that I won't have to wipe everything from my computer?
Trying to fix something else in my settings I accidentally turned my parental controls on. When I tried to disable them it said my password or adminstrative name was wrong when I know they are both right. I even tried to change my password to the account but that didn't help. I don't want to have to delete my account and am not sure how to back everything up if that is the only option. Is there a simple solution to this?
If you have Restricted your MAIN account in the perental controls that may be the reason. You may have to create a new Administrators account to change the settings on the parent controls.
Not sure as I have never used that feature on any computer I own.

Remove restriction passcode

2. You can restore from a backup that was done before you enable the Restriction Code. -
My apple id works when I log in on the computer, but not on my phone. I cannot update my phone because it says my apple id is invalid, but it is not.
What EXACTLY is the message you're getting? If it says that ID can't be used to activate the phone, you have to use the same iCloud ID you had previously used to set up Find my iPhone. It's called Activation Lock. It's an anti-theft feature.

i want to know how do remove the id suggestion that keep popping up every time i fill a form or try logging on on a site. i got a computer from someone and its bugging when all his ids keep appearing. i've tried removing the saved passwords and everything but everytime i fill a form.. they're still there. is there any way i can get rid of them. thanks.
Select the item (arrow down or move cursor) but don't click on it, then press the "Del", users on a Mac would do the same but must continue to use the older shortcut "Shift+Del".

Please please help me!
You can choose which questions to answer. The answer does not have to have any basis in fact - the critical thing is to REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAID. If you decide to say your first car was a Bugattii Veyron, that is no problem, as long as you remember to answer Bugatti Veyron if the question is ever asked in the future.

The iPad keeps telling me that there is no more room to backup. I have deleted almost everything from my iPad and yet I still get the same message.....cannot back up. I do NOT want to purchase more G's as I regularly download all important photos, videos, notes and such onto my iMac. I would like to keep to the free 5 G's iCloud space. Shall I also delete apps that I don't use much, magazines even though there are not any active issue on my iPad?
Thanks for any help you can give.No, you did not have to delete anything.
You don't understand how iCloud works
ICloud does NOT backup anything purchased from iTunes (music, apps, movies, podcasts)
ICloud only backs up your personal data.
Camera roll, contacts, documents, app data and personal information and settings
This is how your manage your iCloud account:
1. Transfer your pictures and video from camera roll to your computer, Dropbox, or Box for iOS . These are free apps for iPad and Mac and provide online storage for your photos and documents.
Once your pictures are safely stored.....
2. Go to settings
iCloud
Storage and backup
Manage storage
(Choose your device if you have more than one)
Show all apps
Now go down the list and turn off switch for camera roll and any other app that you do not need to save data for.
Apps are listed with the largest first.
If you have several devices sharing iCloud (as I do) you may want to only backup the important device and important app data. -
I have two accounts with iTunes. Can they be merged or somehow combined so that I can have access to everything from both my old iPod Touch and my new iPhone5?
No.
You can authorize your computer for both accounts. Put all of the music on one computer. Sync your devices to that computer. -
my IPhone is asking me to type in my password for my old Apple ID that does not exist anymore. I cant set up ICloud without typing in a password to a Apple ID that does not exist, so do I have to remove everything from my IPhone and start over?
Hello miamat2017
You should see an option to skip that step and then sign out of it when looking in Settings. Check out the article below for more information.

How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

I am over trying to update my iphone! Everytime I do it will not restore and I have to wipe everything and start again. Can anyone help me, I am on a PC
What makes you think I can't use my phone in another country or with another sim. You obviously can't, but we are hardly going to talk about hacking an Apple phone on the Apple site. By the way mine is officially unlocked so can swap sims within seconds.

You seems not to understand what I mean and what I'm having like problem. I still have my payment receipt from October of this year when I bought 9 songs in the iTunes Store from my iPhone 4S. The problem is from all the 9 songs I've paid for, only 7 are still available from this list on my iPhone. There is no possibility to download the other 2 without paying for them. I've spoke to the lady from Mississippi on the phone 2 days ago from about 2 hours calling from Belgium but unfortunately she couldn't help me. It's the 3rd time I complain about this. How many time shall I pay for the same songs?? If you can access my music list and my past receipts payment you will be able to find out what I mean. I went back on iTunes I've found the the songs I already downloaded in October that should be on my playlist but if I click on them it will charge me again 0,99 cents. It's been 3 years I've been using the same apple ID with my iPhones. I just wand to get my songs back without having to pay them twice or 3 times
1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

In-App Purchasing disabled. Check your parental control settings and try again
I have played games for quite a while and have used the purchased many "lives" for games, etc. For about a week now, whenever I go to purchase some like this, I receive the following error message: "In-App purchasing disabled. Check your parental control settings and try again later."
I have read the threads about this and have done everything that was said to do. I go to settings > General > Restrictions. I ensured that "enable Restrictions" is turned off.
But I still receive the same error message. I have an ipad 2 with IOS 7.1.
ANy further ideas? Is there something in the iTunes store that needs to be checked?
I've about given up. Thanks for any helpI will try doing this, but I would like to add ... if I'm playing Candy Crush and want to buy additional lives, etc., I have no problem in purchasing them. Could it be the specific game that is not allowing me to buy anything? And I know this doesn't make much sense either, but I'm grasping at anything here because I've purchased them before.
You said to turn on in app purchases .. When I go into Settings > General, I'm ensuring that Restrictions are Disabled, correct? I can see the "in-App purchases" but I'm not able to do anything with it since my restrictions are disabled ... Is this correct? I'm a little confused here. -
I was looking at a tanning website today and then I logged off and went to eat lunch. When I came back, I got on Facebook and on the side were ads for tanning. What do I do so that this won't happen? I feel like something is wrong. I have heard Macs don't get viruses, but I still have Norton Virus Protection. What is this and how do I make it not do it again!
On another note, my trash can all of the sudden started asking for my password when I move something to it. It is extremely annoying when I want to delete more than one thing. Is there a way to make that not happen too? Thank ya'll!1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/.Trash
2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
6. Close the Info window and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

Transferring EVERYTHING from one computer to another w/ same source
I want to transfer all my iTunes files (playlists, music, play counts, everything) from one computer to another, on account of the logic board of my old one is messed up and I want to get everything on my Mac Book Pro.
HOWEVER.
When I was using my old computer, I had my iTunes folder on an external hard drive, which would then be the source of all the music and where the new music would automatically go. So I have the external hard drive, and I can't save the playlists from my old computer because I can't use it.
So how do I transfer all the information? I've tried doing the whole "delete iTunes Data, import XML file" thing and it says it doesn't detect certain music and therefore doesn't place everything where it needs to be.
Any help?Well the way to work around it I think would be to remove the hard drive from your broken computer, assuming of course that your broken computer is broken because of something else besides the hard drive.
Put that drive into an external enclosure. Hook up to the new computer. Copy the iTunes stuff from the old drive into the new computer overwriting the existing database files on the internal.
Now with the other external hooked up, start iTunes and see if it then sees everything properly.
