I'm really confused about this AOL screen name to apple idT

Ive be followed all the instructions but can't find the link to convert/check that's it's been converted!
I read that if it ends: @aol.com it's not an issue. Can anyone please clarify this for me please??

What account are you logging into e.g. are you using an email address to log in '[email protected]'), to just an AOL username ('...' without the '@aol.com') ?
Email address iTunes accounts ('[email protected]') are not affected - you don't have to do anything to that account. The only accounts that are affected are AOL username iTunes accounts e.g. if what you are using to log into iTunes is without the '@aol.com' at the end of it.
If you have used your AOL username with iTunes in the past and you have any purchases and/or a balance on the account that you want to have access on after the end of March, then you have to convert it to be an email address instead : Convert your AOL Username to an Apple ID - Apple Support
If you do need to convert an account then you can't use an email address that is already being used as an account's primary email address - so if you also have an account that uses your @aol.com email address then you won't be able to put that address on the AOL username.

    Hi,
    I'm in Nova Scotia, Canada and when I try to use Siri it loads and loads and then says, "I'm really sorry about this, but I can't take any requests right now. Please try again in a little while."
    I rebooted and it didn't fix the problem. I just got my iPhone 4s (unlocked right from Apple) several weeks ago.

    Siri has been a bit more erratic than usual in the last week or so. Apple has announced a major announcement for 9/12. Conclusions are left to the reader.
    Best of luck.

  • About This Mac screen in Lion still that of Snow Leopard

    I recently wiped my MBP's drive, installed Lion and migrate all my apps and data manually.
    After I got settled in I remebererd Lion was supposed to have this fancy new "About This Mac" screen.
    I was very disappointed to find my system does not have it. Screen shot features my About This Mac on the left and a screenshot of what it should be on the right. What's going on?

    You've downloaded the istaller only. Check your Applications folder, you should find within the program Install Lion. There's no custom install. At the end, your Mac restart, deleting the installer.

  • Redundant "about this mac" screen remains in Lion

    Hi everyone,
    I would very much appreciate your help with the folowing: I just did a clean install of Lion. When I clicked 'about this mac', located under the apple menu, I expected the new Lion version of it to appear. Instead, I get the old Snow Leopard version (top one in image). When i click on more info I get the new Lion screen, which is often mentioned in reviews as a cool feature (bottom one in image). As you can see both have the same info, having two screens seems overkill.
    -Is this happening in your version of Lion?
    -If yes: To Apple: the old version of this screen is redundant and looks outdated. Please get rid of it.
    -Where are these screens located in the system folders, and how could I fix this?

    - Same happens on my two Macs with Lion.
    - Tell Apple here http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    - Sorry, no idea.

  • If I download a video from my video camera to a new (current 1/12) iMac 21 inch, how can I burn it to a DVD using the computer itself. Is this possible? Do I need to buy additional software. Two salespeople at the Apple were a little confused about this.

    If I download a video from my video camera to a new (current 1/12) iMac 21 inch, how can I burn it to a DVD using the computer itself. Is this possible? Do I need to buy additional software. Two salespeople at the Apple were a little confused about this. Thank you.

    The DVD recorder I'm referring to is one I've use for years. It is not attached to my aging iMac in any way. I simply play the video from my camcorder (mini-dv tape based Canon HV20)  into the DVD recorder and create a DVD that can be played in any DVD player. I can only do minimum editing so what goes in is what I get. This has been fine for creating dupes of the various things I shoot.
    If I buy a new iMac (21 inch), I'd like to be able to download the video to the iMac through iMovie, work with it to whatever degree I wish, and burn it to a DVD that can also be played in any DVD player -- or to use as a master to dupe copies.
    What I'm understanding from you and others is that this would be possible if Apple had included iDVD in the software that comes with the iMac, or if I purchase the iLife Family Pack, or buy the correct version of Toast. I'm hoping I can persuade Apple to sell me an iMac with iDVD installed.
    Essentially I want to move from a basic process of creating DVD copies to the more sophisticated process of creating one from an iMac.
    Thank you again for your help and wisdom.

    Thanks James, I just tried Siri again and it worked fine on two tests.
    Does this Problem happen often? I have had my Iphone5 for about two weeks and this is the first time I have
    had the problem. My 3gs used Siri to dial phone numbers or use the address book to dial and I never had a problem with it.
    Thanks for posting the system status page.

  • Siri, Read New Msgs: "I'm really sorry about this, but..."

    Help! Whenever I ask Siri (iPhone 5S) to read new messages it always replies with the "I'm really sorry about this but I cant take any requests right now. Please try again in a little while." message.  Network doesn't matter, happens on Wifi or LTE or 4G.  Siri on my iPad has no problem reading messages aloud. Have reset the device with no effect.  

    Seems like we have another outage.  Down for me as well.  Hopefully, it won't last for days.
    @Apple, you really do need to add Siri Status to the iCloud status page.  Would help a lot.

    I haven't had any trouble up to this morning. Is there a reset?

  • I have just deleted Macintosh HD. Now I have reset my computer and there is just a flashing glider with a question mark. I don't know what to do, I'm really worried about this so please May you get back to me as soon as possible?

    I have just deleted Macintosh HD. Now I have reset my computer and there is just a flashing folder with a question mark. I don't know what to do, I'm really worried about this so please May you get back to me as soon as possible?

    Why did you delete the hard drive?   If you delete the contents of the Macintosh HD you have no system to boot into.  That's what the flashing folder/? means.  What system were you using before deleting everyting.
    You're going to have to install a system on the HD before you can boot.

  • ITunes Not Accepting AOL Screen Name and/or Password

    As of late last night (early this morning), I am unable to sign in to the iTunes store on any of my devices (iMac, iPhone, iPad) with my AOL screen name, and receive the following message:
    "The AOL screen name you entered couldn't be found or your password is incorrect. Please try again."
    I am able to sign into AOL with the username and password so I know they are correct. I have eMailed Apple Customer Service and await their reply.
    Oy!

    Same Problem, and REALLY frustrating!
    I was in chat to Bangalore with AOL Support, since my paid account doesn't allow me telephone support. Their chat window disconnected me and went to 7 different technicians there. Each time they would read my history, it would disconnect. I was furious after an hour of this waiting, and gave up. They had no solution to this insane problem. And of course, APPLE does not allow you to contact them except for 48Hour turnaround on iTunes Emailing. In addition, the Apple Support site leads you to a screen where you are supposed to see "I cannot in via my AOL account" under the Billing Support, but that page, of course, is missing. And when you try to bring up that support pop-up window, it hangs and never brings up anything but the "Did this solve your problem" [yes] [no] buttons!
    I have tried fully removing and reinstalling my iTunes Account.
    I have changed my passwords on both my AOL and AppleID
    I have deleted caches
    I have deauthorized and reauthorized my iTunes account (only the AppleID works, my AOL id will not work)
    I cannot get to my AOL ID on either the iPhone or the iTunes on my Mac.
    The Apps I have running on my iPhone are critical for my use. iTunes started deleting them before I aborted the sync.
    This is unbelievably frustrating and an inappropriate way to support a customer, let alone an I/T professional such as myself. I even looked in to making an appointment with an Apple Genius, but that would be 3 day lead times in my area.
    Does anyone have any more suggestions? Is Apple Support listening?

  • Authorising tunes with ancient AOL screen name

    Apologies, I originally posted this to the 'Using iTunes for mac' forum, but I believe posting to this forum would be more appropriate.
    I've authorised most of the songs in my library, but some need to be authorised using an old AOL screen name that I once had. The thing is, iTunes refuses to recognise my old password and screen name and when I click 'forgot password', the thoughtful people at Apple give me an American AOL number, and a UK AOL number that doesn't work.
    Call me a faff, but I don't really want to spend money calling America to speak to a company I'd hoped to never have business with again, just to get a password to let me play music that I already own.
    What do users in the UK, like me, do in a situation like this?

  • How do I stop Firefox from opening my AOL screen name?

    AOL is my home page when using Firefox. In the morning, when I turn on the computer, Firefox immediately comes on the screen. Since AOL is my home page, my AOL screen name also comes up, already signed on. I do not want to be signed in automatically. I want to enter my password as I must do on my other computers. How can I fix this?

    -> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
    -> go to Help Menu -> select '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled'''
    Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
    -> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted/Incompatible Toolbars
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select "EVERYTHING"''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache''' -> click '''Clear Now'''
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> '''When Firefox starts : select "Show My Home Page"''' and click '''Reset to Default''' button
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmark on '''Block Pop-up windows''' -> click '''Exceptions...''' and click '''Remove All Sites'''
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Privacy -> History section -> '''Firefox will: select "Remember History"'''
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
    1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries
    -> Click OK on Options window
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious/Incompatible Extensions (Add-ons)
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Appearance section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious/Incompatible Themes (Persona)
    -> Restart Firefox
    You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons and Themes later. Check and tell if its working.
