How can I retrieve a password which is sent to my @me which I don't have the password to?
My son lost his iPod and we can't remember his Apple ID password to go to Find My IPod. The password reset function sends a link to his @me email which he never used and of course doesn't have the password to... What do do?
If you didn't add a rescue email address and your me address is your primary address, Try contacting Apple using Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

I transferred my library to a new computer. Now we have a different ID and it won't let us play most of our library? It prompts us to use our old apple ID with a different email and lost password? Any ideas how to be able to play our extensive, expensive catalog?
All content that you download from iTunes is tied to the account that downloaded it, and it can't be transferred to or merged with another account - so you will need to authorise that old account on that computer if you want to use its content.
If you still have access to the email accoun then you can try getting the password reset via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password
If you don't have access to the email account then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they can help you get access to the account : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page -

Trash won't delete--Dialog box says: "...not have sufficient privileges"
Help!!
The dialog box, which is labled "Trash" at the top, says in full: "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
I did the following, which had no effect on this problem.
1. I ran Repair Permissions on the Disk Utility.
2. I looked at the permissions in the "more info" pane and I do have "Read & Write" capabilities. Also, I checked this for the Trash file as well.
What suggestions can you make so that I can empty the trash folder?
Thanks for the help.
JeffHi, Jeff. Welcome to the Discussions.
See my "Solving Trash Problems" FAQ. In particular, you may find the utilities recommended therein for dealing with stubborn files especially helpful.
Good luck!

Why are my LabView Dialog Boxes no longer modal when using the Example LabVIEW Operator Interfaces?
Hello,
I have a step in my sequence that pops up a modal LabVIEW dialog box. My LabVIEW vi uses the TestStand - Start Modal Dialog.vi and TestStand - Stop Modal Dialog.vi as described in the example and it works as advertised when I'm using the TestStand Development environment however when I use the sample Operator Interfaces distributed with TestStand the Dialog boxes lose focus. I have the VI Properties->Window Appearance set to Dialog and have followed all of the instructions I could find for making a dialog modal. I've also reviewed all the documentation I could get my hands on including previous posts on this board and didn't see anything obvious.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I may be missing? Has anyone else experienced this problem and come up with the solution?
I am using LabVIEW 8.0 along with TestStand 3.5.
Thanks,
RGHi RG,
Running the example modal dialog in the teststand3.5 examples folder and using labVIEW8.0, I notice that when the Dialog is displayed its not active, but it is modal to the OI. Clicking on the Dialog panel makes it active. If you try to click on the OI panel behind, you can not. Is this what you are seeing?
I am using the Full labVIEW IO as supplied with TestStand and the example VI in the modal dialog folder is as supplied.
The LabVIEW Adapter is still configured to use the active labVIEW developement environment.
If I run the same example, only this time using LabVIEW7.1, the Dialog panel is active.
There is a patch to take it to labVIEW8.01, at this moment in time I am not sure what the update fixes.
There does seem to be a problem with TestStand3.5 (engine) and LabVIEW 8.0.
Regards
Ray Farmer

MacBookPro 15.4 keep freezing up with black dialog box to press power button until off and restart
MacBookPro15.4 less than a year old keep freezing/locking with black dialog box to press power button until off and restart THEN repeat successive times after restarting it?
If you're able to boot, launch the Console 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.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents – the text, please, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post "shutdownStall" or "hang" reports.
If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all. -

When i put in my wi-fi password it keeps coming up incorrect password
when I put in my wi-fi password it keeps coming up incorrect password why is this happening?
Are you sure the password is correct and current and being entered correctly? And sure that you are trying to connect to the correct network?
Has this password worked before? If so try restarting your WiFi router by removing power to it for 30 seconds. -
iTunes keeps popping up a dialog box that says "An update to the carrier settings for your iPhone is available. Would you like to download it?" What is this? When I click on the "Learn More" button in the dialog box it takes me to a generic iTunes support page that has no relevance to carrier settings.
I got this three times within the last 4 hours and have been getting it almost every day since I use my new iPhone 6 - over a week now. This happens almost every time I connect the phone to my MacBook Pro, although every time I confirm and it indicates successful update.
It is highly unlikely that my carrier updates settings on daily basis or three times a day. It is almost surely a bug in the Apple system and anything but a timely and effective solution is unacceptable.
For debugging information, I recovered a backup from my former iPhone 5 onto the new one, using the same carrier and SIM. -

Already signed in on ebay; then I go to either revise my item or sell and item, ebay will ask you to sign in again; using Firefox, the same screen keeps coming up, asking me to sign in. I then have to use IE . Deleting history does not help.
# Yes, if you go to accounts.firefox.org, sign out, you will now be signed out.
# Sign back in, and you will be asked to save the password you entered.
# This will save the password and autocomplete if you have this option turned on.
I am not exactly sure why the menu did not detect the password change or if it was stored incorrectly after you changed it? But after storing the correct password you can manage any duplicate passwords in the password manager.[[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]
