Unable to update apps. Use iTunes password and program thinks for a couple of seconds and the goes back to original position.
What's the original position?
Does the screen asking for your password have a different Apple ID that the one you currently use? If so the app must have been downloaded with that different Apple ID. You will have to enter the password for that original Apple ID because downloaded or purchased apps are always associated with the ID used to download o urchase them. -
I have tried everything but I can't connect my iphone to my laptop. It says that apple mobile device failed to be installed. I have read everything on the internet and did everything but still am facing the same problem. Can you please help me.
Again without stating the trouble shooting steps you have taken, its hard to direct you with any information.
Try a different port on the computer.
Does the iphone beep when u plug it up. ?
Plug iphone into computer and give it 3 to 4 minutes to see if it connects and is running slow.,
Delete the apple mobile device from your computer.
Upgrade itunes to newest version.
Is you USB cord defective ?
Any USB 3.0 on your system ? .
Delete or Disable any antivirus program on your computer ?
I will tell u the problem is your computer not the phone.
We could do this for hours. -
i cant install the new firefox 6 on my laptop because it keeps asking for the administrator password during the installation and i dont know what is it for this laptop
I read a way on another forum to fix this problem. Right click on the setup.exe and select "Run as administrator" this should solve your problem.

Hi, I'm new to using mac laptop, i just got one 1 month a go, i was downloading adobe flash player and it asked me for a password for the computer and i never created one, how do i over pass this situation?
It is asking for your computer administrator account password to make system changes. You "should" have an administrator account password.

I was unable to access migrate assistant to restore my hard drive. Out of desperation and ignorance I opened up Time Machines space page and selected my most recent backup and pushed restore. The system accepted it and said it would intall in in "volumes". I was unable to figure out what that meant but I went a head a tried it. The download took four hours and then puff it was gone and so was my data. I can't find the back up anywhere. The only thing I think it might be is that I had named the hard drive a different name than the original (don't ask me why). Have any ideas?
Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and provide /Volumes/ as the path.

I have just opened a new account with the Post Office but I am unable to access this on the net. Telephoned Customer Services but say that I will not be able to access through Firefox and will have to use Internet Explorer. Going back to Internet Explorer is not something I want to do because I like Firefox, please explain why Firefox is blocking access if this is true. I have clicked 'allow' but it made no difference and the only message coming up is "timed-out" when I have been much less than 5 mins putting security details. Please advise. Paula
I doubt if Firefox is blocking access. More than likely, that website is made to use ActiveX, or other proprietary Microsoft code, that only Internet Explorer can handle.
If you post the address of that "Post Office" website, maybe one of us support helpers can figure out the exact reason for that. -

For some unknown reason, I am unable to sync my ipad2 with my desktop. I receive a message saying it cannot sync due to an unknown error 1140.
Hate to have to run to the apple store to get this resolved...hope someone here knows the answer !! I need to sync !!
Thank You.Experienced User Terrell Smith recently posted on this Error Code:
Terrell Smith:
"Today I was in an Apple Store, and four Apple Geniuses could not solve this problem. It seems to have something with large iPhoto Libraries, because when I started iPhoto up with a small library (1,100 photos), the problem did not occur. In iTunes, under the Photo's option "Sync Photos," if the iPhoto library is large (38,000 photos), the option to select the radio button "Selected albums, Events, and Faces" is grayed out, and you cannot select it.
My guess is that since the large iPhoto library will not fit on your iOS device, iTunes throws the 1140 error.
As others have noted, if you uncheck "Sync Photos" in iTunes, the rest of things will sync instead of throwing the 1140 error message.
But you don't have synced photos then.
The Apple Store told me they have no solution for this error. We should file iPhoto Feedback, and that this issue has been escalated to Apple Engineering."

I repaired the permissions in aperture first aid. I notice my short user name has changed from the one before the mavericks upgrade.
I notice my short user name has changed from the one before the mavericks upgrade.
Then you created a new user account when upgrading. How did you upgrade? Did erase the system and set up your mac completely new? If your short user name has changed, you are no longer the owner of your Aperture library, if it ha been created with your old user name.
I repaired the permissions in aperture first aid.
And after repairing the permissions you can still not access it?
Where is the library located? On an external drive or in your Home folder? -
This has just happened today and has been really frustrating. Creative Cloud logged me out and I've not been able to access it all day.

Hello darkhawk,
Thank you for the recommendation. I somewhat understand what a MS DOS disk is, but I'm not sure how to go about creating one. I've seen where you can use a program, like Rufus, to create a usb one - but I'm leery about using 3rd-party programs (especially ones I'm not familiar with). I've come across a couple of 'how-to' tuts, but they didn't clarify what files (if any) I would need to include on the disk (for my particular situation). Right now I don't have any blank cds, nor any extra flash/thumb drives - wish I did, but hadn't needed these for years. There has only been one other time where I needed to re-install Windows, but that was over 15 years ago - I did it through BIOS, reformatting my drives, and then reinstalled via the Windows XP disk. Windows 8 is an entirely different breed, which has left me feeling a bit stumped, at times. If there was a way I could perform it (successfully), similar to the first time I did it years ago, I'd give it a try - but at the same time, I'm a bit reluctant, because if it doesn't work, then I'm stuck without any internet access to get further help.
Ask and ye shall receive. This should be doable in Windows 7 and Windows 8 on another PC. I recommend using a USB Flash drive like in this tutorial, but I'm sure you could use something else.
If you want, you could also use Hiren's BootCD to make a bootable CD with many options and programs on it (I keep one, just for certain situations) that will allow you to do the same things.

Need help and Apple or Reader's Digest are no help
There is a customer service 800 number on here that may be of some help for you (I hope)
EDIT. I had a link that was working and now it will not work. OK - this is really ticking me off now. Here is a C&P.
1.
Where can I download the Reader's Digest magazine app?
You can download the app from the Apple App Store : click to RD page in iTunes
2.
How much does the app cost?
It is free to download the app and there’s a gratis previous issue you can sample. Once you’ve downloaded the app, you can buy individual issues ofReader’s Digest for $3.99 each - the same price you’d pay for the print magazine at a newsstand.
3.
Can I buy a subscription to Reader’s Digest magazine on the iPad?
Yes. You can get a month-to-month subscription for $1.99 per issue, or you can get a yearly subscription for $14.99.
4.
I already subscribe to the print version of Reader’s Digest. Can I get the digital issues as part of my subscription?
Yes, for a limited time, U.S. print subscribers can access iPad editions for free. That includes all the additional videos, slide shows, additional articles and cartoons - a terrific value! Just tap the red button at the top right of the screen and follow the instructions. You’ll need the mailing label from a recent issue to enter your subscriber information. Once registered, your email address and ZIP code will serve as your log in username and password.
5.
Where on the mailing label can I find my subscription account number?
As indicated in the image below, the account number is on the second line from the top of your mailing label. It has 10 digits.
6.
I entered my account number and ZIP code, but nothing is happening. What should I do?
Call our toll-free Customer Service number: 877-342-4775.
7.
Is access to the iPad app included for international subscribers?
We’re sorry, but access is available only to subscribers in the United States at this time.
8.
I’m not seeing a subscription option in my in-app Store - what gives?
You need to update your app in order to subscribe.
9.
What content is included in the app?
Everything that is in the print magazine is also in the app. Plus, bonus photos, articles, videos, cartoons and animation, graphics, and various interactive features.
10.
What devices can the app be used with?
It is available only for the iPad at this time.
11.
Will new issues be delivered to the app automatically?
Not automatically, but you will receive a notification when each new issue becomes available. If you have subscribed to the app you can download it immediately. If not, you can choose to purchase and download the individual issue.
12.
Will the issues I purchase expire?
No. Once you purchase an issue, you will have access to it for as long as you keep the app.
13.
About how much memory does one issue take up?
An average issue will take up between 300 and 500 megabytes. With a good WiFi connection, it should take only a few minutes to download.
14.
If I delete an issue, can I download it again for free later?
Yes. Simply touch the home icon in the upper left corner of your app to go to see all available issues. Tap the “archive” button next to an issue to remove it from your iPad and free up disc space. You can re-download it for free at any time.
15.
How do I cancel my subscription?
Your subscription will renew automatically each month (for monthly subscribers) or each year (for annual subscribers) unless you take action to cancel it. To do so, open the "Settings" app on your iPad and select “Store.” Tap on your Apple ID and select “View Apple ID.” Once your account information appears, scroll down to "Manage App Subscriptions." Here you can turn your subscriptions off and on.
16.
Can I share the digital issue with friends?
No. There are currently no share features available.
