I understand this gets asked a lot, but I'm having specifically odd problems

Like a lot of other people I see on the first page alone, I've forgotten my security question answers that I set years ago and haven't had to answer once until now. I do have a rescue email, but I don't see how that pertains to needing my questions reset as that's to retrieve your password (as far as I know, anyway). I've gone to my apple id management page, and to the "account security" tab, but where most people have the option to then reset their answers, I'm asked to answer my security questions, which is what I'm there to reset in the first place.
As you could imagine, I'm incredibly frustrated as I have roughly 50 dollars on my apple id that I can't get back and can't spend due to purchaces requiring my security answers, and although I understand it's not their fault, the apple support team isn't being much help, they just keep sending me to different people.
I would greatly appreciate the help of anyone reading this, because as far as I know, I'm the only person having this problem. I would really rather not call someone as I'm bad on the phone, and it's furthurmore frustrating that there isn't some sort of question reset option where I give my email and password and reset them as simply as that, this doesn't need to be a situation where I call in half of apple support just to get a couple questions reset.

If you aren't getting the reset link then that implies that you don't have a rescue email address on your account - are you sure that they aren't alternate email addresses that you have ?
But if you aren't getting the reset link then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset - which is normally by phone as they need to confirm your id and that it's your account
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

I noticed this question has been asked a lot, but I still do not understand. How do I get my ALL of my iTunes music onto iCloud. I have already subscribed to match and increased my icloud storage. Only some of my music is in the cloud, not on iphone

I have noticed that this question has been asked a lot, but I am still not understanding. How do I move ALL of my music on iTunes into iCloud? I have subscribed to match and increased my iCloud storage. Only part of my music is in the Cloud and not on my iPhone.

Adobe support is hopeless, there must be a better way, if not it might be better to get a different movie program. is anyone having the same problem?

This is like buying a GM car and being told to talk to otherGM customers on how to fix your car yourself. It it the blind leading the blind. I have wasted many days and weeks because I cannot find solutions. I have rarely gotten a solution from any similar forum, and more often been told by other members that I should buy what they have or that I should not want to make this or that type a disc, etc., and rarely a suggestion that is useful.

TS2755 why have we deleted all saved messages and the iphone 4s sitll says 6GB is devoted to messages. I have seen this question asked numerous times but Apple seems to be ignoring it.

Can't update the Iphone operating system because 6.8 GB is devoted to messages despite the fact that all messages have been deleted. Did a reset, back up and restore, still 6.8 GB allocated to messages.
The local Verizon store, which is a company store, just said to back up and restore with itunes, but that didn't work.
I have seen this question asked on support community blogs and various people have suggested different solutions, some very technical that involve changing settings on the backups saved on Itues files on your PC and lots of posts from people saying it worked for me, but many others saying no, that didnn't work.
It seem utterly irresponsible for Apple not to publish a fix that actually works. With what you have to pay for these phones, it's ridiculous.

I want to get a macbook pro but Im afraid of all these problems

I need to get a new laptop for 3D(Maya) work and some Design.. I want to get a macbook pro but I am very very worried of all these problems Ive been reading about. Whine? Too Hot? sigh....

Well here's a simple solution if you don't feel like sending in your MBP 2, 3, and 4, maybe even 5 times to AppleCare for recurring issues: Wait until the next revision of the MBPs which will hopefully bring about the introduction of the Core 2 Duo (Merom) chips. It shouldn't be too far off in the future and if the new chip is as good as everyone's saying it is, the wait will be well worth it. The CPU whine of my MBP is HORRIBLE and to me it makes the machine utterly useless when I'm working in the lab as I need to concentrate; I'm back on my PowerBook.
I realize that my situation is unique in that I'm working in a sound-sensitive environment. However, I paid the similar price tag on my PowerBook and this machine has been flawless. I bought the AppleCare for it and have yet to send it in for anything. My MBP is maybe 4 months old and has been to Apple's repair depot 4 times. In fact, for the first 2 and a half months of ownership, Apple had my MBP more than I did.
Apple may have fixed the problems by now with their newer MBPs but that's anyone guess, and it's solely a gamble as to what week build MBP you'd get and what kind of problems it will have.
My advice: I strongly recommend waiting if you can. Even if you don't work in a sound-sensitive environment, you will get great peace of mind knowing that your computer will perform, look, and sound like a well-built, $2000+ machine (hopefully).

HT4623 first of all, I dont understand this stuff....but on my Iphone 3 I use to have skpye on it now it will not load since the IOS.4.2.1 now what do I do

Well first of all, you must speak in basic english...I have a basic Iphone 3....which I use to have Skpye on it..after restoreing it, it will not allow me to add Skype to it now......any ideas? the Software is always updated but not to the IOS.4.4 only IOS.4.2.1

The latest version of Skype will not work on such an old version of iOS. I believe it needs 4.3, which you cannot get on your iPhone 3G. Restore to a backup that was done while you still had Skype on the iPhone.

When I try to sign in to Yahoo or Flickr I get a message saying: "Firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading" with an allow button - when I press the allow button I just get the same message again. Anyone having the same problem?

I have tried clearing the cache, allowing pop-ups from Flickr and Yahoo and all pop-ups but Firefox will not allow the sign-in page to load. Is it a virus? It doesn't seem to affect any other website, including hotmail. I have tried other browsers and they don't want to load Yahoo and Flickr either. Any suggestions gratefully received. I'm using Windows with Firefox 4 on a Toshiba laptop.

I just bought a new MacBook Pro. I managed to transfer everything to the new laptop. BUT I'm having some real problems--e.g., wg from my older one to the new one. Both use the same latest version of Snow Leopard. My new laptop has the newer track pad.

I just bought a new MacBook Pro. I managed to transfer everything from my older MacBook Pro to the new one. Both use Snow Leopard, the latest update.
My new one has the newest trackpad, the old one, no.
I'm have big problems using Text Edit on the new laptop--the curser does not go where I want it to go for editing, I cannot get the text to be a clear or as large
as with the older Laptop. Similarly, I cannot find a way to enlarge the menu bar. But the text edit is my biggest problem right now. I have reviewed all the preferences, particularly those in Universal Access, to no avail.
I finally gave up, used dropbox to send the text edit document to my old laptop, and continued with ease. But this is not the way it should work. I bought the
new laptop because the old one is showing signs of age.....
Is there something wrong with Text Edit while using the new trackpad?

Thanks, Sig.
The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem. Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page. Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them.
(I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)

Just deactivate the indicators I have listed.

For Inspection Type 01
- Post to Inspection Stock - Activate
- Enter Sampling Procedure if you required any or activate 100% Sample or you can avoid all other.
- Put appropriate Control Inspection lot
- Rest all Check Boxes you should deactivate.
- Don't forget to Activate the Inspection Type. (The check box "ACTIVE"
Hope it will work this time, with fresh PO

Points to CRAIG is must there!!!

This is a stupid question but I needed to ask because I don't want to go there and not being able to buy it, but can I get the iPhone 5 brought straight there when I go to an apple store?

This is a stupid question but I needed to ask because I don't want to go there and not being able to buy it, but can I get the iPhone 5 brought straight there when I go to an apple store?

And I meant go to the apple store physically without preordering it online, and I meant the Southampton one. So could I just stroll in apple store and buy a iPhone 5 in Southampton apple store and buy the iPhone 5 straight away? Because I didn't want to have to wait? I just want to go in and buy it and go out with it, if you guys get what I mean? And felipeV if it is in stock could I just buy it and leave with my iPhone 5?

All media and apps should be in iTunes on the computer. Simply select the content desired to sync to the device and sync it.
FYI, backups have never included media or apps.

Hi.
I'm not sure of it's still possible to choose 'None' under payment method. Besides, I'm sure you would like to be able to buy paid Apps as well.
Try edit your payment information from a PC/Mac instead of your phone.
Open iTunes > Choose 'iTunes Store' > Upper right corner, select your account or 'Sign in' > (When signed in) Click your account and go to 'Settings'.
Make sure your credit card qualify for use in the Apple Store.
Best regards.

I've logged onto iTunes, but it's asking me security questions because it's a new device, and I'm getting the answers wrong, but iTunes wants to reset but send the new passwords to my ex partners email address how can I get round this.

I believe part of the recovery process is you get an e-mail allowing you to reset questions. If that e-mail isn't correct either because your son set it up then you really have no option but to ask Apple again. They are getting strict abotu security and given the number of "My iTunes account got hacked" posts here I can guess why. They have no way of knowing you really are the owner of the account. It's like me going to a policeman and saying, "See that car over there? That is mine, can you open the door for me?" and the police opening it on that basis alone.
