I can't get icloud to work on my computer not sure how to create an icloud account

Hi there, can anyone help me with this? I have been trying all day to get icloud to work on my computer. I have successfully downloaded it on to my laptop. I am having trouble creating an iCloud ACCOUNT as it won't let me sign in with my Apple ID until I have created an iCloud account and there are no instructions on HOW this is done, unless I am overlooking something. I have a 3rd Generation iPod Touch 16GB, which should be able to link up with icloud, but I am getting nowhere fast and getting frustrated with all the stonewalling. PLEASE HELP ME.

Apple IDs and iCloud
For the iPod you need to update iTunes to 10.5. Read here > Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices

HT201335 I have a MacBook Air that was bought April 5, 2011. It seems it should be supported for Airplay mirroring but I can't get it to work and I do not have the icon on my bar. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple community.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

I set up an PC with iTunes and have my library but cannot get it to transfer new purchases, I get a pop up that states "computer not authorized" how do I authorize computer? account originated on a Mac

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

I bought a magic mouse today, they told it would work with the new iPad, I can't get it to work for me, does anyone know how or if it works?

I bought a magic mouse, was told it works with the iPad, how can I get it too?

A mouse, which is a pointing device, will not work with an iPad...there is no cursor for the mouse to move around. You must use the touch screen.

I can't get gmail to work on my ipad, I changed my password on my gmail account and the iPad will not accept it!

Help

Try turning the email account off and then turn it on again. Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>select your gmail account>Off. Go to the mail app and then come back to the account in the settings and turn it on again.
If you can't find any other way for the iPad to accept the password, delete the email account and then add it back onto the iPad.

Can't Get CS5 to work on new computer?

Old computer crashed and shop installed Photoshop CS 5 on new computer but only Bridge will work. When I click on CS 5 icon I get the message 'Some Application Components are missing from the Applications directory. Please reinstall the application.' Tried to use software to install but get indication the Serial Number is invalid. Chatted with Adobe but they no longer handle S/N problems. Since I am retired and only use CS5 for my personal use infrequently, the move to CS6 is not an option. I just want to get my copy to work. I did search the statement 'Some Application Component...application' but the solution started out 'Use Finder (what is that?) to go to Photoshop CS5://Application/Adobe Photoshop CS5' and that lost me. There has to be a better way to fix this. Any suggestions?

Thanks. Yesterday my frustration level was high after a chat with Abobe revealed that they no longer support serial number issues. As I lay awake last night I remembered that I had omitted information and probably had a way to solve my problem. First, my computer is a Windows 7 device I had built specifically for photo and film editing. Since I'm retired I got interested in Photoshop and started with CS 2, the Student edition. I took local school classes that taught using CS3 so I upgraded to CS3 a month before CS4 came out, and took another class. While everything I do is for personal use, I enjoyed the product and so when CS4 came out, I upgraded to it in 2010. I have the books for all versions, including some of Kelby's. So last night I realized that my CS4 and 5 versions are upgrades. This morning I found my copies of CS2, CS3 and CS4 software and thought one of those may have the Application that my CS5 is missing. What kept me awake was the quandry of either load the previous versions on my new computer without removing CS5, or remove CS5 and then start loadin CS2 or start with CS3 and then continue to load the following versions. The computer that crashed was new in 2008, and my records indicate I had CS2 loaded on it and removed it in 2009. CS3 was removed in 2010 and that was when I got CS5. Right now it appears that both CS4 and CS5 are on the new computer. Part of my concern about deleting CS4 and CS5 and starting anew with CS2 is the number of times each version had been loaded. Has the limit been exceeded?. Also, currently CS5 Bridge is working. Could I cause a problem if I delete CS4 and CS5 with Bridge? Checking the software for each version I know they are all the student version, which is what I started with, but I can't tell if CS3 is a full student version or an upgrade.
Now I need help. Delete CS4 and CS5 and start over, or load CS2 and CS3 without removing those 2 and see if I have a serial number problem. Glad I didn't upgrade to Windows 8 on the new computer! It could be worse.Thanks

TS1398 I have an iPad mini, because of my work network firewalls I am not able to use the airprint function to print. I was told you can direct connect to a printer. I am not sure how as I have not seen any cables for a lightning connection to a printer c

I have an iPad mini, I am connected to my work wireless connection. My printer also is on the same wireless network, however I am not able to print to my airprint enabled printer through this wireless connection. Is there a way to direct connect to the printer via a cable ?
I am missing something here on the connection. I am thinking possibly a firewall here at work will not allow me to use the airprint function. Help ?

There is no support for wired printing.
It is probably a firewall issue, possibly where all inbound communications are blocked. Since you're at work, I'd call your work IT department and find out from them what you can/can't do.

Then sign back in with the correct ID and password.

Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are referring to adding a secondary account, to a single device, then you can do this at system preferences >mail, contacts & calendars.
