Thanks for the suggestion, Chris. I actually did not resolve the issue which is why i did not post an answer.
it turns out that my iphone seems to default to an incorrect User ID (it defaults to an @me account, which is not something that i have ever used).
even when i change the User ID in my settings for the iTunes store, it still appears when i attempt to get updates for my existing apps. however, it does seem to use the correct ID when i attempt to purchase new apps.
If someone actually had an answer to correct this, i would love to update my existing apps.
Thank you.

Can't get mail to work on new iphone

i have two accounts,yahoo and comcast, neither is working on my new iphone 5. the phone accepted the setting for the comcast account, but still no mail. the yahoo account keeps asking me for the password, despite me entering it the mail settings various times. it then tells me the yahoo server is unavailable, try later. has been happening for quite some time.

Did you ever get this to work? Did you have to delete your comcast account and setup new account? My Iphone 5 is doing the same thing - asking for password and then never connects to server - times out

Can't Get Push to Work on New iPhone

I just replaced by Gen1 iPhone with a 3GS. Everything went easy as can be, except for one thing - none of the apps that had Push Notifications enabled and working on my old iPhone are working on my new iPhone. In general prefs I have Push enabled globally and individually for each app, and for those apps that have their own prefs, I enabled it there.
Some examples: Loopt, AP News, Echofon, etc.
Is there something I need to do on my old phone to "unregister" it or something? I already blanked it, unfortunately. Please let me know if anyone knows anything. Thanks!

i cannot answer to loopt or echofon (i do not use them) but apnews does no push many updates at all (sometimes days go by without an update).
as a test download the ebay app (free) enable push notifications and then watch an item that is going to end soon (and wait for the notification)

My ipad and iPhone have different email addresses in the FaceTime field but I can only get FaceTime to work on my iPhone, how can I get them both working on facebook

My ipad has a different email address than my iPhone, both are mine but I can only get FaceTime to work on my iPhone but seem unable to change the email address in that field

If the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation

And, you are sure you have provided the correct username and password for you email account? I'm not familiar with Virgin media, so you might contact their tech support to find out why you are having a problem sending mail but none receiving mail. I assume your mail account has always been POP3 and not IMAP. Typically, the outgoing mail servers are not the same for the different types of account service.

I have a super slim usb 2.0. Can't get it to work on macbook air. Any ideas?

I have just bought a super slim usb 2.0 disc drive but I can't get it to work on my macbook air and now a dvd is stuck in it! Any ideas?

Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
      left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
      your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
        /usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

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

Can't get alarm to work on new ipod--never had trouble with old ipod

Greetings all,
I just got a new Classic 120GB and it is great but I can't get the alarm clock to work...when I set a time for the alarm clock, it doesn't seem to remember this time but it instead defaults to an hour later than the current actual time...I tried several times to reset the alarm for a minute or two in the future so I could test it and see if it made any sound...I have reset the ipod and the normal time and date display is correct. I also can't get the beep sound to work, although I can hear the clicking when you scroll through things and so the internal speaker is clearly working. I used my old Ipod Photo for years as my alarm clock and I never had a problem with it...anyone have any idea how to fix this? I have the most recent ipod software, am using an older 17" G4 powerbook running 10.4.11. is there something obvious I am overlooking?

update: I can get an alarm message (you have an alarm) and a choice to dismiss or "snooze" but the internal speaker is still not kicking in and obviously a silent alarm is not ideal in this instance. When I try to hear the "beep" under tones, it doesn't make any sound but bounces me back to "sounds"...I can hear the clicking when scrolling and so the speaker seems activated but is muted somehow for the alarm. My old Ipod had a nice little alarm sound and I was hoping to use my new Ipod as an alarm clock as well...not a life or death thing, but I can't figure this out and I have read everything I could find. Help!
