I sorted my worksheet and it saved the sort without asking if I wanted to save it! How did this happen?

I am on a mac mini OS X Yosemite using Numbers 3.5.2.
I opened an existing spreadsheet, sorted one of the columns, then closed it out so I could open it and it would no longer be sorted (the sort screwed up all my headings), and the sort was saved! Why did it save my sort without asking if I wanted to save the changes?

Hi Julia,
System Preferences > General > Ask to keep changes when closing documents
This may recover the previous version:

I am unable to install itunes. I get the pop-up asking if I want to save or cancel the iTunes64 file. I click save... and then nothing happens. Help!

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

HT202058 iphone 6+ somehow has switched my name on emails into my nephew's name. We share a first and last name but not a middle name. For example, my name might be John George Doe and his name John James Doe. How did this happen? How do I correct it.

So if the solution recommended by Ralph is not working then the other option is this:
Please make sure that the emails work correctly when signed into, on a computer
Then delete the account off your phone - you will not lose the emails
Reset the phone
Re add the account back in and see if that helps the issue
Thanks

So i sent 2 PXTs to someone and it came up on their phone from 2 different numbers and none of them mine. I called those numbers and they were just normal people and they had no idea what had happened. How did this happen?

Both phones were iPhone 4s and everyone was with different carriers.

Simple process. If an iPhone go to the Apple Store and not Verizon
the phone from Verizon will be a refurbished device and not new unless under the 14 day worry free guarantee
good luck

TS1717 unes, i have windows 8, i get the message, "the itunes Library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file. how did this happen, how do i fix this?

the message"The itun, library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file". i have windows 8. how why did this happen? how do i correct this and prevent another occurance? I am able to access itunes on my i5, ipad, and my old i4 that i use solely as my ipod now. At the time problem occurred, i was connected to ext hard drive that hold over 190GB music, to add to my library. I am now unable to add to my library using my laptop. any advise/help is greatly appreciated!!

I just had the same problem and was able to fix it after trying a couple of things I found after a search.
The solution that worked for me:
Find iTunes folder - it should be in C:\Program FIles (x86) or similar depending on your operating system
Right click the entire folder (no need to open it) and click properties
Click the security tab
Click edit and highlight the user name under which you logged in.
Click the box next to full in the allow column, which should check everything
Click apply
Open iTunes
This worked for me.

I got an Itunes card and when I loaded it itunes downloaded an album that I did not order; so my question is how did this happen and how do I find out how much this album costs cause I would like to get my money back.

My wife got me an iTunes card today and as soon as I redeemed it a music album that I did not order downloaded and deducted the cost from my iTunes card. I did this happen and how can I get my money back? I do not listen to the type of music that was downloaded and feel like I was robbed in a way cause the only way things are suppose to download is if I click on them and enter my password. Please let me know if there is anything I can do and am I the only person this has happened to?
Thank you

Thank you Niel,
My wife loaded her ITunes card right after I loaded mine and the album did not and still has not loaded onto her phone so we think it could be in my settings we are going to check into that but I did have money removed my account so thank you for the link to the form.

The keys on my laptop are smeared and ugly.. how did this happen??

I love my laptop HP G60-243CL Notebook PC .. and do not want to give it up, even to get the keys replaced.
I have been an HP client since my first desktop computer in 1995, but am very disappointed that the keys are smeared, almost impossible to type.. if I did not already know which key is which I would not be able to type much of a comprehensible sentence.
I am wondering why (within 1 month) the keys were smeared and ugly, also is there a possible way to get new keys that would not look the same in a few months.. my laptop is just about 1 1/2 years new at this time in it's life.
Thank you for you prompt response, H Penny McCoy
Stay Happy, Stay Healthy!!

Hello and sorry about your keys, it is possible that it may be some kind of hand lotion that is causing this effect.. At least this is what we have seen in the past.. please send me a private message and we can discuss options on getting you a replacement keyboard. Thank you for being a loyal HP customer!
I am an HP employee.

Help please - An email address that I rarely used several years ago got reset to someone else's apple ID in place of the email account they used to create their account. How can this happen?

A friend accused me of switching an email account that I used several years ago to send them photos on Flikr (gmail) for their Apple ID - in other words of.messing with their account. I only used the gmail account to post / send them and several other people photos on a few occasions and have not used the account since. I forgot that I had it. When this friend couldn't access their iTunes account the store discovered that the email had been reset to my very old gmail address. How is this possible? Now, they are accusing me of hacking in although no purchases were made and nothing was done with the account. Still, my reputation is at stake. Could they have done it in error? It looks bad for me. Help please.

I made up the names edward and daniel, it's not actually anyone's email address, so no need for concern.
In practice, I'm sure you're right that I would have fewer problems with a longer, more complex email address. But in principal, the problem remains. I could sign up for the Apple ID
1234.NoOneWillEverUseThisAddress.5678@gmail
and someone else could sign up for the Apple ID
1234.NoOneWillEverUseThisAddress.5678+1@gmail
and apple would have no problem with it, even though for all intents and purposes it's the same email address. So the problem is not just the ambiguity of my, to use Dahveed's words, overly simplistic and unsophisticated, email address:
there is a fundamental flaw in the way Apple links email addresses to accounts that allows for this ambiguity. If they followed the same conventions that gmail did, there would be no possibility of this problem.

I saved my document as only .doc but not as a pages file and now I cannot edit anything and half the document looks incredibly screwed up, how did this happen?

I forgot to save the pages file, I do back up on time machine could a temporary file be in there somewhere? It was a 30+ page custom designed presentatiion that took me two weeks. i cannot believe I only saved it as PDF and .doc! My current theory is that I can only edit the document in pages as a pages file since that is what I had been doing. Please help if anyone has had this problem before or know how I can recover that screen I was working with a few days ago before I saved as a Word doc!!

Despite what Apple and its employees say Pages is not a 100% replacement for Word.
Pages files exported to .doc will have minor to major differences.
You should always have a Pages version. Exporting is only so non Mac and non Pages users may read it, and even there you should use .pdf to keep its appearance as close as possible to the original.
It sounds like you used a lot of Pages' features which turned out to not have Word equivalents.

Have been playing FarmVille 2 on iPad air and a iPhone 4S but the game centre has deleted save and transferred iPad save to iphone how did this happen and can it be reversed

Can any one help game save lost and replaced from another device ???

Yes I tried this manyfold. But did not work. Reading on, I took Tesserac's advice. Shut down router and computer.
Start router after 15 minutes and wait another 10 minutes before starting the computer.
Et voila.... everything is back in working order,

I see two iphoto applications. One is iphoto (copy) and the other iphoto (original). How did this happen?

In the applications folder I see two iphoto apps. One labeled iphoto (copy) 376 MB/ version 8.l.2 and the other iphoto (original) 346 MB/ version 8.1.1 . Have no idea what I did. Can I delete one of them?
I have iphoto library manager installed and used it for the first time just recently. I merged my photos into one library.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Lucy

Keep the latest verson. But, as Larry cautioned, open it before deleting the other one to make sure it performs as expected.
