HT4759 I cannot upgrade to mountain lion b.c. my Mac is too old; therefor no icloud. So, now, how can i sync up my devices?

My mac is too old for an upgrade to mountain lion. I tried from the app store and says it is not eligable, even though i have most recent snow leopard upgrade. My question then, is how do i sync up my devices? I put events on my calendar on my ipod, but they are not syncing with my imac calendar desktop. Please help!

Not a problem.
One last check ... read this list for applications that may not work under Lion: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
And make a good TM or clone (CarbonCopyCopy download for $40 or SuperDuper download for $30) in case you need to start over or decide to go back.

Cannot set up child account, Apple instructions are wrong

I just got my 12 year old son an iPod 5 for Christmas. I'm trying to get him into the Apple store so that he can download the apps he used to use on his sister's iPod. However, because he is under 13, Apple requires him to have his account under a parent's account. Here is where the frustration comes in, because Apple's instructions to do this are wrong and we have hit a wall. We cannot create his account, so it appears that he will not be able to use the Apple store for another year.
The instructions say this, exactly copied and pasted from Apple's support page:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 8
Use these steps to create an Apple ID and add the child to your family group:
Go to Settings > iCloud > Family, and tap "Create an Apple ID for a child."
Enter your child's birthday and tap Next. The birthday for a child's account can't be changed after the account is created. Be sure to enter the correct date.
The problem is, there is no "Family" menu under iCloud, and when we try to create the Apple ID for him, we get an error after we put his birth date in that says his ID needs to be part of a Family Share account. I know this. However, there appears to be absolutely no way to accomplish this.
This is why Apple is so frustrating to work with- incomplete or incorrect instructions leave their customers stranded and unable to use their devices. Does anyone have any idea how to fix Apple's screw up?

I made an account on her ipod, created a family 2nd account. Then I logged off. Signed back in as the child. The child asked for approval to buy an app. I can not approve this anywhere else other than by signing out as the child and then signing back in as the adult. There is no way to approve or set up family accounts on a non mac PC or non IOS system. Is a serious problem as a parent.

How can I reset my security question and I cannot create a new account because I have £18 on the account that I can't remember the security questions to

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account, then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use, or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

Set my wifes account up with mine. Now all our data combines. How do I set up an account just for her so we don't share all our contacts and such??

Set my wifes account up with mine. Now all our data combines. How do we set up her own account so we don't share all contacts and such??

There is only one solution. Each user must have their own separate user account. All of their respective data would be contained in their separate user accounts. This also means each will have a separate iTunes Library. If you all use the same third-party apps, then each will have to purchase their own copies under their own Apple IDs. Some data sharing is possible. See:
iTunes- How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one

I've been given a Macbook Air as a gift (with OS 10.7.5). Garageband is missing and I can't dl the app store version because apparently my OS is too old. Help??

Try to by an iLife '11 installation DVD - perhaps you can find it at Amazon or eBay.
Or try to update the MacOS X version of your MacBook Air to MacOS X 10.9 Mavericks. If your MBA qualifies for the Mavericks update, you should be able to buy GarageBand 10.0 from he AppStore.

Cannot set up gmail account - keep getting SSL error

I cannot seem to set up my gmail account on my iPhone. Actually I deleted the account because it would not update at home and when trying to re-add the account now I cannot. I keep getting the SSL error which asks if I want to continue without SSL, if I push yes it does not work either, just says gmail verification has failed either way. I have read up on others responses and none have worked.
I have tried following the link to unlock my gmail, setting up my gmail account through the "other" option instead of gmail, turning off my firewall (I have a locked wireless connection at home) and even changing my gmail password. Nothing has worked.... PLEASE help!

Okay so I was able to set up my gmail account at work, BUT I do not get automatic notifications anymore when I have a new email like I did before.... Any ideas why and how to fix this?

I cannot verify my icloud account because I have no verification email. Any ideas Apple customers - as Apple can't be bothered to assist?

I have an Apple 2 with IOS 6.
Because I have this I have Apple icloud. I have an Apple ID, I have an Apple password. They work. But I can't verify my Apple icloud account because the software has not sent me a verification email! I only have one email account and one Apple ID. There is NOT (contrary to Apple trouble shooting pages) any way to get this email sent again!
So I can't get the icloud verified.
It seems incredible that I can get no help from the manufacturer or retailer here and instead have to resort to asking members of the same neglected bunch of Apple 'customers' for help but if any of you can I'd appreciate it. In the meantime, note to self 'NEVER buy Apple again. They treat their customers with disdane.

i just went thru this hassle in the past hour..luckily that's all it took me to get it set eventually. i read some of the comments here to get ideas (i even considered creating a new account, as "comcast" had suggested). honestly, i'm not even sure what i did exactly to make it work. i logged in to my itunes account and i was notified that i had to re-confirm my apple ID. it was then showing in the "email" field and i had to re-typed it in the "apple ID" field. then i put this info in my iphone (setting -> emails), i clicked again "resend verification" and this time it showed "verification was sent to '[email protected]'" (on my previous attempts, it showed "verification was sent to [.]" or something. not sure if u came accross it). so it's thru itunes. try to sign out and in, then go to your account setting there and make sure the email/apple ID are updated. by the way, i never really got the actual verification email. as soon as it showed the message - the app was automatically enabled on my iphone.
hope this helps!

Cannot Set Up Exchange Account in Windows 8/8.1 Mail App - Need to turn off SSL

Hi there,
The office I work at is currently running an Exchange 2003 server for mail, and for reasons unknown, it isn't using an SSL certificate. That will
be changing some time in the near future, but as a result, I can't set up an email profile for this Exchange account on the Mail app. On all the various phones I've had (I've used all 3 major mobile platforms), I've been able to uncheck "Use SSL"
in the initial setup settings, or upon failure to connect to the mail server, save the profile I set up, and uncover more settings after saving that allowed me to turn off SSL. This isn't the case for the Windows 8/8.1 Mail app. I can't turn off
SSL for Exchange in the initial setup part, and I upon failure to connect to the server, cannot save the mail profile.
Don't get me started on Outlook 2013...our server is too old for it and therefore incompatible, which somewhat unforgivingly bricks the program and requires a multi-step repair...
So is there any way to fix or get around this SSL setup issue (other than the obvious solution of our IT guys putting on an SSL certificate)?
Thanks!

Hi
I have seen exchange 2003 not working well with the windows 8.1 mail app. generally you would install the cert from exchange 2003 on your pc and mail should work...

Mail: Cannot set up new account

Mail (Version 3.1 (914/915) crashed whilst sending a large attachment. On re-launch I was unable to connect to one of my servers. My .Mac account still worked as normal. I tested the server and settings by setting up the account in Entourage (not normally used) and that works OK. I deleted the account in Mail and dumped the mail preferences file. Trying to set up the account again Mail fails at "Checking connection to mail server...". Creating the connection by adding to the server list and checking in Connection Doctor shows a successful connection.
Any ideas please?

I resolved the problem. I checked earlier the package contents in time machine when I returned to mail it worked! Bit of a mystery really.

I cannot set my mail account

I've just buy a Mini Mac, but I wasn't able to set my e-mail account. When I set pop server for incoming mail, after verifying the connection an error message occurs reporting to verify user id and pwd. Internet works properly, I tried get in my mail account via webmail and is ok. I've checked pop settings with my provider several times and seem to be everything ok, but my e-mail account is still not working......
What can I do, has anybody an idea ???
Thanks in advance

"Actually, it's always been marketed as interaction with Exchange 2007 only."
No, that's not correct. Not even a little bit. It was MARKETED as providing Exchange support. The fine print said it was only with 2007. One of the first truly underhanded things I've seen Apple do.

Cannot set up mail on iPod Touch using Mac's AirPort WI-FI.

This is FYI. My problem has been fixed so this might help someone. I could not set up my mail account on my new iPod Touch using my home Mac's AirPort WI-FI. I do not have a separate wireless router. I am running Tiger OSX 10.4.11 with an iMac. Safari and You Tube, etc. on the Touch was working fine. I kept getting "cannot connect using SSL" and "POP server...is not responding." I found out, by myself, that if I turned off my firewall on the Mac, my email account set up and I could receive and send emails. I also found out if I set up the account on another WI-FI, it would work. I don't like to turn off the firewall, so I won't check my email on my Touch using my Mac's WI-FI.

A bit more info...
The error message says -
Cannot Send Mail
The connection to the outgoing server "smpt.me.com" failed.
My server setting is smpt.me.com
SSL is turned on.
Port 587
Sever is turned on
All the settings below the server on/off switch are greyed out so i cannot edit them myself.
The ipod touch is brand new yesterday and up to date with the latest software.
