I am suddenly unable to update or download apps on my iphone 3G. It says "the download will be available after you log in to itunes from your computer." I never had to do that before. Even when I do log in from the computer, the download still doesn't work. So what's going on? Why would I need to go the computer to download an app to my phone? That defeats the whole purpose of having the phone, which is to do stuff when you are not at the computer!@!@ Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My mac has10.5.8 and should be compatible with new HP officejet pro 8600. I can't get it to install for wireless, nor to work with USB cable. Have tried downloading HP install directly from HP and it still doesn't work.

I just bought a new HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 printer. I have been unable to download the installation for wireless connection even though have had the assistance of Costco tech, HP tech and some advice from Apple. Because the system is MacOs 10.5.8 the error says it is incompatible, even though the product lists compatiblilty with 10.5, 10.6. I was advised 1 option might be to obtain Snow Leopard for installation, however am somewhat reluctant as the bo states 10.5 should work and Snow Leopard is 10.6, which is also listed as compatible. I am unable to get the printer to work even with USB cable. Too much time spent on this and I hate to start over with another printer because I'm afraid I might have the same trouble. Is Snow Leopard something I should get anyway? Help!

Snow Leopard has more compatible Java.

If that doesn't work to fix the problem, then see my FAQ* on printing:

Firefox 8 and the "Warn when closing...multiple tabs" preference check box still doesn't work?

I'm aware that I can go into the about:config screen and toggle a couple of settings but the real question is "Why is this still a problem since version 4?" Why bother to have Preferences at all, if the given solution is always to tweak the config?

This hint was posted on a similar link that works for me. Here is what to do:
In option -> privacy -> choose "use custom history setting" and choose your preference for history and cookie setting. and then click "OK'.
Then you will get the warning when closing multiple tabs.
It doesn't seem to be related but it does affect the operation of the other part of the software that issues the warning.

My iPod show that my battery is receiving energy and that it is "charging," but it doesn't actually charge. The battery never increases; it only decreases. Even when I have it physically plugged in and charging, it loses battery whenever I am using an APp

My iPod shows that my battery is receiving energy and that it is "charging," but it doesn't actually charge. The battery never increases; it only decreases. Even when I have it physically plugged in and charging, it loses battery whenever I am using an APP or anything. I'm thinking that the chip that receives the energy is damaged or worn out. Is there anyway to fix it without going to the store? My USB chords is fine. It charges other iPods fine. Including a second generation iPod which means my 4th generation iPod should not have an physical battery problem. Any suggestions? Thank you so much!

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Unable to update or download anything with my Apple ID

I am unable to update or download anything on my iTunes or App Store because it says my apple ID is invalid because I entered my password incorrectly too many times. Although I've changed my apple password multiple times since hoping it would work and it still does not.

Hello zyrah_jaid27,
It seems you are unable to access your Apple ID to make purchases. The following article provides the steps you'll need to take to access it again:
If your Apple ID has been locked - Apple Support
If you or someone else enters your password incorrectly too many times, your Apple ID will automatically be locked to protect your security.
You might see one of these alerts:
“This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons”
"You can't sign in because your account was disabled for security reasons"
"This Apple ID has been locked for security reasons"
If your Apple ID was locked, you can go to iForgot to unlock it with your existing password or reset your password. You can also click the Reset Password or Forgot Password button in the alert. Remember to type your full email address when you're asked to enter your Apple ID. For example, [email protected] or [email protected]. If you use two-step verification for Apple ID, you need to use your recovery key and a trusted device to regain access to your account.
If you can't reset your password and you don't use two-step verification, contact Apple Support. Update your password in iCloud settings
After you change your password, you might need to update it in iCloud settings on your devices.
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Go to Settings > iCloud.
Tap Edit, if asked.
Type your new password and tap Done.
Mac
Go to Apple menu > System Preferences.
Click iCloud.
Click Sign Out.
Type your new password and click Sign In.
Windows
Choose Start > Control Panel.
Double-click iCloud.
Click Sign Out.
Type your new password and click Sign In.
Email
If you use an email app to get iCloud email, the app will ask you to enter your new password when you check for mail. If OS X Mail doesn't ask you for your password, check your Mail preferences. For any other mail app, check the app's documentation to get help changing your email password.Update other services, such as iTunes and FaceTime
If you use your Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, iMessage, Game Center, or FaceTime, you might need to update your password for those services.
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Go to Settings and tap the service.
Tap your Apple ID. For iMessage, tap Send & Receive and then tap your Apple ID.
Tap Sign Out.
Sign in with your Apple ID and your new password.
Mac or PC
If you try to sign in to the iTunes Store or Mac App Store, make a purchase, or update an app, you'll be asked to enter your password.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

A facebook game (ZumaBlitz) That I have been playing for years is causing me to be prompted to download and install flash player, when I do it still doesn't work.

Why has Zuma Blitz and other games stopped working? I have downloaded and installed flash player but it still doesn't work.

IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

I am suddenly unable to update or download apps on my iphone 3G. It says "the download will be available after you log in to itunes from your computer." I never had to do that before. Even when I do log in from the computer, it still doesn't work.
