I have a 2007 iMac with version 10.6.8. When downloading "some" files to my computer, these files become "zip files." When I open the zip file, it produces a document in some coding language. How can I open the file to produce a legible document?

I have a 2007 iMac with version 10.6.8 and 4GB of expanded memory. When downloading "some" emailed documents, the downloaded file becomes a "zip file," which when opened looks like a coded message. How can I open the "zip file" so that it produces a legible document? Please, help!! thank you!!!

A "zip file" is a compressed file. "Zipping" in principle does not and cannot change the contents. So that if the contents before zipping are garbage, or unreadable on a Mac, when you expand the file you will get garbage or an unreadable file.
The first thing to verify therefore is whether the file, before it was zipped, was in a "Mac friendly" format. Can you do that?
You do not need an App to zip or unzip. These functions are built in on our Macs.
And yes, zipping and unzipping using the built in functionality, work fine in OS 10.6.8. And 10.7 and 10.8 and 10.9.

You have to change the settings in whatever program you use to open the jpg. Firefox has no control over that. What program do you use to open jpg?

Hi, can you help? My emails that I have received show the date received as either today, yesterday or July 28. How can I get the correct date received?

Hi, The emails that I have received show the date received as either today, yesterday or July 28. How can I get the correct date received?

That's very scary. They might do it, but I personally have never had Apple contact me re id's except on their site when signing in. I suggest you DO NOT respond until you have a phone conversation with Apple security. They can verify if they sent you the e-mail and why.
While it's very possible it's true,again, I suggest you not respond until you speak to someone at Apple. I've often read here that when people sign in they are not allowed to because "someone else has used the id" type of statement.
Also, you should be able to go to the app store and see what apps you have downloaded.
Though it could have been a free app, have you checked to see if any were bought with your id account?
I've gotten these types of e-mails from places like USPS and FedEx which look amazingly authentic and were from their website. I also received an odd e-mail from my cousin in Ireland last year that clearly was not from him. It was also sent to others in his family in Ireland. I e-mailed him that I only opened it because it had a .ie, but suggested he change... Days later I received mail from 'him' - same name, but at yahoo.com.
Again, I would call Apple. You can also report it at [email protected], but I would not settle for that given your situation. If nothing else, call Apple sales (sales depts. anywhere answer fast) and ask them to transfer you to security. Apple will not want anybody accessing their name, and while it's unlikely, it's not impossible that it is someone phishing.
Hope this helps and can you let the support community know your results by posting on this thread when you're done? Thank you.

When I select a title in the iTunes Store and click on Play in iTunes I am sent to the download page for iTunes 10 which I have already. The selected title cannot be found anywhere in my iTunes. How can I get the title in iTunes with possibility to buy it

When I select a title in the iTunes Store and click on Play in iTunes I am sent to the download page for iTunes 10 which I have already. The selected title cannot be found anywhere in my iTunes. How can I get the title in iTunes with possibility to buy it?

The issue is that your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside in order to purchase iTunes content.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location. You can use the iTunes Store in all countries of which you’re a resident, but you’ll either need a separate iTunes Store account for each one, or you’ll need to continually be switching the billing information on your single account. Generally, it’s simpler just to set up an alternative account for these situations, although it’s worth nothing that features like iTunes in the CLoud and iTunes Match are designed to work best when using a single iTunes Store account, as you can only switch accounts with these services every 90 days."

My adobe/ PDF documents are password protected. How can I remove the password?

@My adobe/ PDF documents are password protected. How can I remove the password?

Hello,
two answers I found in my library about removing or finding unknown password:
Removing: "Not with any Adobe products, and other products are not discussed on these forums..."
Open a file: "The only way to open a password protected file is to know the password (there's no way to get around that). Hopefully you know who created the PDF and can get the password from them."

When I try to print a photo from iphoto, I select the photo, click print and the preview shows there is a lot of the photo cut off. It also prints this way. How can I print the whole picture?

After selecting File > Print, a pop-up window should appear. Select "Customize" and this should take you back into a panel within iPhoto. Towards the bottom, you should see an option for "Layout". Select this option and choose the correct photo orientation.
Hope this helps!

You can't. Until the previous owner removes the activation lock, the device is useless to you; Apple won't remove it unless presented with proof that the registered owner is dead.

The app store icon on my sons IPOD is gone. How can I get the app store reinstalled ?

The app store icon is gone from my sons ipod. How do I
get the app store reinstalled?

The App Store is a default app and cannot be deleted. First make sure it has not been disabled via restrictions. To check, head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions on the iPod and make sure there are no instructions in placing for installing apps.
Otherwise, do a spotlight search for it. While on your iPod's home screen, swipe to the right and enter in App Store.

Try Apple/Command + space.
For the future, go to system prefs/accounts/login items and check the box for Show Input Menu on Login Screen.

I have a new ipad with retina display and the orientation change from portrait to landscape is extremely slow? How can I improve the speed?

Any ideas on how to improve the speed ?

Hi rodtheprod,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the issue you are describing. If a movie from the iTunes Store supports multiple languages, they can usually be changed as outlined in the following article:
iTunes: Language settings for video
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5562
If this is not possible and no changes have been made to the country settings for the iTunes Store, you may want to try redownloading the movie (if it is still available):
