HT5622 I have been asked to change my password

I have been asked to change my password (i am sure i was using the correct one).
Since my change, i can not connect anymore (ICloud) or buy anything on ITunes.
Where should i ask for help (can't find the answer on Apple webste) ?

I am back :-/
I've got this message : Le serveur n’a pas reconnu votre nom d’utilisateur ou votre mot de passe pour le compte « iCloud ». Assurez-vous de les avoir correctement saisis.
IN ENGLISH : The server did not recognize your user name or password for account "iCloud". Make sure you have correctly entered.
It works for ITunes and gets stuck with iCal.
When i enter my password, nothing happens and i have to force the system to get out.
I can't reach the 'assistance' button > i click but...nothing...

OracleVM Manager template 2.2.0 trying change the host name

Hi,
I have installed the OracleVM Manager 2.2.0 template
into an OraclVM Server 2.2.1.
Reading the OracleVM Manager 2.2.0 install
instructions "Readme_for_Media_Pack_B59146-01.txt" and doing
the installation in the interview area, I am asked
to provide the fully qualified domain name as the
name of the OracleVM Manager.
Therefore, I provided something like this.
ovmmanager.mydomain.mytopdomain
Later, when I was in the OracleMV Manager,
I noticed the following.
Correct information was written in my /etc/hosts file.
192.168.1.160 ovmmanager.mydomain.mytopdomain ovmmanager
The case seems however, that unusual information
was written to the /etc/sysconfig/network file.
HOSTNAME=ovmmanager.mydomain.mytopdomain
When I type "uname -a", the results are shown.
ovmmanager.mydomain.mytopdomain
I say, "unusual", because most people prefer a single
name "ovmmanger" to be the host name.
I have tried to permanently change the host name of the computer by
changing the contents of the /etc/sysconfig/network file to the following.
HOSTNAME=ovmmanager
Next, at the command line I would type the following.
hostname ovmmanger
When I type "uname -a", the results are shown.
ovmmanager
However, every time I do an 'xm shutdown' to the
OracleVM Manger (the ovmmanger), and then later do an
'xm create vm.cfg' to start the ovmmanger,
when I type a "uname -a", the results are shown.
ovmmanager.mydomain.mytopdomain
When I look at the contents of the /etc/sysconfig/network file
the contents are back to the original contents.
HOSTNAME=ovmmanager.mydomain.mytopdomain
instead of my preferred contents
HOSTNAME=ovmmanager
My first question is the following.
By design, does the OracleVM Manager 2.2.0 template
supposed to have a host name to be a
fully qualified domain name?
ovmmanger.mydomain.mytopdomain.
My second question is the following.
If the situation is satisfactory to have just
ovmmanger
as my host name, then how do I prevent the host name renaming
process to reoccur every time I do an 'xm create vm.cfg' to start
the OracleMV Manager?
Thank you
AIM

First Question: No, it does not have to be a full qualified hostname. As long as the hostname is resolved in your network short qualified is fine.
Second Question: You don't have to do anything. In OVM Template design the configuration tool is just called the first time your template is started. All succeeding startups will not go through the configuration again. (There is however an option to reenable/reset the VM that the configuration is called again).

I just upgraded to Mavericks and now my Intel iMac is running more slowly. There have been no other changes. What's up with this???

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running a program at the instance of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them.
Here's a summary of what you need to do: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait about a minute. Then paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for your password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator rights.
The test may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. There wiil be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress until it's done. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.
When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." That's because the forum software falsely identifies something in the post as a violation of the terms of use. If that happens, please post the results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

What happens when you change your address in your iTunes account? You also have to have a payment method associated with the USA, For example gift cards are restricted to the country of their purchase.

How long should a reasonable person expect their computer screen to last before a pixel drop out line appears? I have been asked to pay for a repair after 1 year and 19 days!!

A thin coloured line appeared on my i-Mac screen and I have been asked to pay £139 to have it repaired. This was reduced by the manager of the Sheffield store from c£300!!
The computer is 1 year and 19 days old but the warranty period is 1 year. I was uanable to bring the machine in earlier but the problem was there 2 weeks ago within the warranty period. Still no joy from the store as I had not reported it before the 12 months!!
What with Time Capsule back-up issues I an beginning to lose faith in Apple.
Surely a reasonable person could expect the machine to be repaired FOC as a goodwill gesture?

Not after the warranty has expired. Apple has no obligation to do so.

I am using a Mac and just bought Photoshop Elements 13. I have been given a 28 page Pdf and have been asked to optimize the item to reduce the file size. Can this be done in Photoshop Elements? if so how?

No the pages will open as separate documents in Expert Mode. You really need Acrobat or possibly you could copy and paste the contents into MS word. Then re-save as PDF.

Powerview Cannot connect to the server due to a security issue. The server may not have been able to match the host for silverlight

Hello,
I have a sharepoint 2010 sp1 CU Dec 2011 server with a SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU4 reporting services instance. I am able to open Power View and use it normally when bypassing the ISA Reverse Proxy server. However when going thru ISA I receive the
following Error.
Power View Cannot connect to the server due to a security issue. The server may not have been able to match the host for Silverlight. This error appears after I click yes on an Internet Explorer Display Mixed Mode prompt.
I've seen a couple references to this issue but not much. This one mentions a clientaccesspolicy.xml file but I haven't had any luck with that. http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/716433/cannot-connect-to-the-server-due-to-a-security-issue-the-server-may-not-have-been-able-to-match-the-host-for-silverlight
Any Ideas? Thanks.
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
Based on my research, the issue should occur due to a by design behavior in Threat Management Gateway (TMG). To work around this issue, you can use SSL between the TMG and the SharePoint Web Server.
Hope this helps.

I work for company and we use HTC phones about a hundred .. We are thinking of changing to iPhone... We use destiny pens and have been advised that apple blocks the Bluetooth for this device... Why...?

Apple doesn't "block" that device. They just don't support the Bluetooth profiles the Destiny pen requires. You can see the Bluetooth profiles included in iOS here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647
and the profiles required for the pen here:
http://www.destinywireless.com/flash/#/thedigitalpen/compatibility/bluetooth_com patibilty/
Perhaps another pen such as the A4 Smart Pen would work for you in place of the Destiny device:

HT201303 I have been asked to update payment information, when that information was updated it says the card has been denied? i entered the information twice and it still says denied?

I have been asked to update my billing information on my account, when I update the account the info that comes back is that the card is denied? i have enterd it three times, and I know that the card is good and not expired. can anyone give me any advice?

How were you asked to update this information? Was it in an email? - if so you need to check whether it's genuine by looking at the sending address and the long header, and the URL of any link in it. If you are not absolutely sure it's from Apple you need to stop the card.
If you were actually on the iTunes Store having gone there directly then the request would be genuine, so no worries there, but you will need to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services', then ' 'iTunes', and then 'iTunes Store', then 'Purchases, Billing & Redemption'.

I bought a used iPod and they were previously signed onto their iCloud account.

You can't. This is a security feature to prevent the resale of stolen iOS devices. You need to contact the seller and have him/her remove it from their iCloud account. Or return and get your money back. See: Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support
