I can use my apple id and password to log in here, but they are not accepted to reinstall os on mac mini.  I've changed passwords, still no luck After 3 hours I'm ready to go back to windows!

I can use my Apple ID to log in here but I can not use it to reinstall IOS on my Mini.  What gives this has been 3 hours.  I've changed the password twice, I can log into the forum but the App store say unknown error!

What makes you think an Unknown Error has anything to do with your password....
Also, a Mac Mini runs OSX not IOS. Be that as it may, a simple Google search would have led you to this support article for "iTunes Unknown Error":

Hope you are able to find a solution!

  • My iPad fell off the bed. Now when I turn it on there is a red backlight and then the images come on, but they are not like before. The picture colors are distorted. Can this problem be rectified?

    Having problems with my iPad after it fell of the bed. When I turn it on there is a red backlight, then the screen comes on. Even then the page does not look right. Images are distorted and there are patches of red in the images. What does this mean? Can the problem be rectified?

    I would take it to the Apple store but some people have been having luck holding their iPad upside down and smacking it on it's back. Be careful, good luck.

  • HT4858 My iphone5 was stolen (second time) :( How can I recover my photos and videos on icloud? Last time they did not all come back

    My iphone5 was stolen (second time) How can I recover my photos and videos on icloud? Last time they did not all come back. Specifically I need photos I took 1 day before it was stolen.

    If they are in photo stream and your computer meets the minimum system requirements (OS X 10.7.2 or higher and iPhoto '11 9.4 or later or Aperture 3.4 or later; or Vista SP2 or later if you have a PC), set up iCloud on your computer and enable photo stream, as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/.  You'll get any photo stream photos from the last 30 days.
    Camera roll photos are stored in your iCloud backup, and can only be recovered by restoring the entire backup to another iPhone or iPod Touch that is running the same or higher version of iOS as the phone you backed up.

  • HT204150 I can't get my contacts back on my phone from my icloud. It's up and running and I have already turned on the contacts. The icloud online shows that I still have all of my contacts but they are not popping up on my phone.

    I had my mom on my icloud through a different phone for the longest time and just took it off her phone today. Now all of my contacts have been erased from my phone. I went on the icloud online and it is showing that my contacts are still there, but they are not on my phone. I need help!!!

    Go to Settings>iCloud and confirm that you are signed into the account that contains you conacts and that the contacts setting is turned on.  Also open the contacts app and tap Groups (if you have this setting at the top) and make sure all your contacts groups are checked.
    If they still don't appear, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then turn Contacts on again.
    If they still don't appear, force-close the Contacts app and reset your phone: double-tap the home button, locate Contacts, swipe up on the image above the app icon to close it, tap the home button again.  Then hold the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release and wait for it to restart.  Then check your contacts again.

    If you do not lock that folder immediately after deleting all the contents, it will simply populate again (Resume - a "feature" in Lion). You do that by doing a Get Info (highlight folder and press Command + I keys), unlock the lock at the bottom, enter your admin password, then check the box to lock the folder. lock the lock and you're done.
    Yes, that is correct. The alternative is to quit all applications prior to logging out. Lion will then have a chance to remove the saved states.

    And, for the OP:
    It has also been a regular feature of Mac OS to automatically open any window that was open at shutdown. To avoit that behavior, simply close any Finder windows and  properly quit applications by closing their window and using Command + Q (or File >Quit).
    This was true only for the Finder. Prior to Lion, no other apps would launch unless they were included in the Login Items for the account. And the OS would not restore windows for other apps.
    A very small number of apps (TextWrangler is an example) implemented this capability prior to Lion. They could restore previously opened windows. But that is an application feature, and can be controlled by the application's preferences. Lion implements it at the system level, and users have virtually no control on a per application basis.

  • I am adding new photos to my PC windows 7 desktop but they are not syncing to my ipad.  how can i get these photos to sync

    I am adding new photos to  my PC windows 7 desktop but they are not syncing to my ipad when I sync the Ipad.  How can I get these photos into my Ipad?

    Skydiver.
    you and I know that your answer works because that is how I sync my ipad.  I don't have a mac, just a PC with itunes. Now this guy might not even have itunes and is using Windows Media Player or something like that.
    Or maybe he just do not want his problem fixed.  I read these forums and too many of the questions are just way beyond basic computer knowledge, but it seems to happen that they can never resolve a very simple problem.  It makes me wonder if people just post bogus stuff.
    I would like to see registration to the forums attached to the product serial number of the forum you are posting to.  I bet you that the posts would drop dramatically.

    Are you talking about the "Legend" panel at the right of the window?
    Those text are just help texts explaining the reputation points. You can only award points, if you are the original poster of a question. Then you will see active buttons to award points below the answers you receive. See here for more information: https://discussions.apple.com/static/apple/tutorial/reputation.html

    You have to install the iCloud control panel for windows, then sign in with you apple ID, and check what you want to sync.

  • Can dld newer versions of Frfx but they are not getting installed?

    I am able to dld newer versions of firefox but they are not getting installed ... Currently 'about firefox' shows my version to be 27.0.1 but when I go into the troubleshooting option it shows I have version 28.0 and 29.0 in my update history. Please advise. Thanks

    Hi Irishman,
    Have a go at the suggestions that follow and then post back with how you get on.
    Obviously I have seen your post, and sorry you are having problems. Unfortunately this is likely to be because you did not take enough care on the Internet. It is all too easy to go to bad websites and pick up malware that once downloaded does things you may not like or expect.
    <u>Explanation </u><br />
    '''This is not anything to do with Mozilla Firefox''', other than it is the browser in use. Such software is not bundled with or downloaded with Firefox installs or upgrades. <br /> ( You may get an option of thumbnails in otherwise blank spaces in newtabs in a version of Firefox later this year but that is a different subject)
    Finding such adware may be problematic, after all it is either downright malware which will try its best to evade being found and uninstalled, or it is adware that a minority of people actually like and deliberately download and install, usually after clicking small print saying this will happen.
    <u>Suggestions to try to Uninstall or Remove Adware</u>
    First thing to try, check which search engine is selected ? <br /> Because this is so simple and could have an effect it is worth checking what Search engine is selected for the Firefox Searchbar. You may have changed that, or software may have,and that will affect other searches including those from the address bar and the start page. All you need to do is click the little downward pointing arrowhead in the search bar and check what is in use and what is available. In most countries Firefox uses Google by default.
    Check the shortcut Icons - has an address been added ? <br> Right click the icon on the desktop used to start Firefox has an address been tacked on to the end of that. If something has changed that Firefox goes to that address as it starts up. For comparison use a run command directly. In Windows & with Firefox not already open Use keyboard shortcut Winkey+Run then when you get the run option key in ''firefox.exe'' & hit return. That will run Firefox without any extra instruction.
    Adware removal<br />
    I you have got adware, or unwanted software especially if it also affects other browsers (So check the use of Internet Explorer) look for anything unexpected installed in the Windows OS, use the Windows Control Panel. especially if only Firefox is affected check what is installed as extensions and plugins by using the addons manager.
    * USE '''New button -> Addons ''' <br /> Or navigate to ''about:addons'' ,by keying that into the addressbar
    * Also see
    ** [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]]
    **And this slightly dated article [[What to do when searches take you to the wrong search website]]
    I will make a follow on post detailing malware removal steps. Note it is important to use up to date and multiple tools, not just your one favourite. No single tool detects everything. This one is particularly useful with adware problems

    I have downloaded 2 movies from itunes to my ipad 2, but they are not showing up in itunes.  where can i find them?

    Tap the Videos app and tap the movies button at the top of the page.
    The iTunes app on your iPad is just a conduit to the iTunes Store.  To play your purchases, use the iPod app or the Videos app.
