I want to change my apple id primary e-mail from a .msn address to a .gmail address. The problem is that currently my .gmail address is my cover address and I cannot figure out how to remove and replace my gmail recovery address.
I want to change my apple id primary e-mail from a .msn address to a .gmail address. The problem is that currently my .gmail address is my recovery address; I cannot figure out how to remove and replace my gmail recovery address with a new e-mail address. I want to do this because I no longer use my .msn address.
You should be able to change your rescue address by going to My Apple ID, signing in to manage your ID, then selecting the the Password and Security section, and answering the two security questions. If you have trouble with this, contact the Apple account security team for your country to verify your identity and ask for assistance: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security. If your country isn't listed, contact iTunes store support by filling out this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

Under "Devices," I have "hidden" my USB access and now cannot figure out how to re-access or "show" USB access again. Very frustrated right now--this is a high-use feature for me and it should NOT be so buried somewhere that I cannot find it. So much for Mac's "intuitive" interface.
Well, you have also "hidden" what version of OS X you are using from anyone who might want to help you.
You are probably using a newer version than I am, but I don't know that these things have changed.
In the Finder, from the Finder menu > Preferences …, there should be a Sidebar pane to choose what is visible.
Also in the Finder, Go menu > Computer (or type Shift Command C) will open a Finder window with any attached volumes showing. -
The first time I synced my iphone 4 with my mac, I didn't realize that all of my photos from the iphoto library would transfer over to the phone (more than 3,000). Now, I need to remove some, as they are taking up too much space. I cannot figure out how to remove them from the phone. I tried to uncheck boxes and sync again, but I get a message that there is no room on the iphone. I've read as many articles as I can find, but still cannot manage this. Thanks for any help.
Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync

My 2 year old has deleted my 'apps store' icon and I cannot figure out how to get it back? Doesn't seem to be available in the on-line apps store, ironically enough
He dragged the icon out of the dock at the bottom and disappeared. That icon is merely a "shortcut" that opens the application when you click on it.
You still have the app. Open your applications folder and look for the App Store app icon. Click and hold down on the App Store icon and drag the icon down into the dock to replace it. That puts the shortcut back into the dock. -

I recent recieved and Ipod touch model A1213 and i cannot figure out how to get apps on it. I have tried everything i can think of and when i try to update my ipod software it tells me that its already up to date. even though its only 1.1.5. How do i fix it?
You have a 1st generation iPod Touch.
It can be updated to 3.1.3 by purchase. See here Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation) -
I have an older iPod (80GB) which I used to be able to sync, but now the iTunes format has changed and I cannot figure out how to sync it. The tutorial showed a page that should pop up when the device is connected to my authorized PC, but that page does not appear. Any suggestions? I need to sync my device to transfer newer music.
If you have a PC, Control S brings back that familiar side bar on the left side. That might help. I'm also going to askt he hosts to relocated this post in the iPod forum. This is the iPad part and you may get more device specific info there.

I am a new iPad user. I cannot figure out how to copy and paste from a website to a pages document, and vice versa. Any ideas?
Long press on the text you would like to select (tapping and holding) and then release after the magnifying glass shows up. This will select a single word. Then use the blue dots and drag them to select a region of test. Then press "copy". Open pages, and long press and release where you would like to paste. Then select "paste". That should paste the text.
If the text doesn't select within the browser, it might be an uncopyable format. Like if the text was within an image, naturally you would be unable to select it. The only thing to do there is long press the image and selecting "save image", adding it to your camera roll. Then you could insert the image within pages. -
When I forward an e-mail, I get a long string of gobblygook that goes with it and I cannot figure out how to eliminate it without having to delete it every time I forward an e-mail. The following is only part of the string that I am talking about. How can I eliminate this from the e-mail?
Here is part of an excerpt from one of the strings:

I am using Xcode 5 to make a calculator app and I cannot figure out how to do two things.
So I am using Xcode 5 to make a calculator app and I cannot figure out how to two do two things. First, how to incorporate the decimal and two, how to make the positive to negative button. The app is only for the iPad. I would like to know how to do it asap. Here is the code I used for addition if that helps.
-(IBAction)Addition:(id)sender;{
if (RunningTotal == 0){
RunningTotal = SelectNumber;
else{
switch (Method) {
case 1:
RunningTotal = RunningTotal * SelectNumber;
break;
case 2:
RunningTotal = RunningTotal / SelectNumber;
break;
case 3:
RunningTotal = RunningTotal - SelectNumber;
break;
case 4:
RunningTotal = RunningTotal + SelectNumber;
break;
default:
break;
Method= 4;
SelectNumber= 0;sorry i just saw the search feature and found a few of the same questions. I will check those

I can't figure out how to remove songs from my ipod with itunes 11. And dragging songs to the ipod is rejected as well. Please help.
I want Steve Jobs Back!!! I'm seriously thinking of converting back to the older iTunes.We have a saying in my country,it goes,"If it's not broke,don't fix it!" Sometimes I think they do updates just to keep busy at their jobs or just to **** us off.I don't have time to learn new software everytime someone at apple gets a bright idea.At least they should think it through and test it well before giving it to us.Apple is not a small company,how come we got to work out all their bugs and problems? I may send them a bill! LOL

While typing on my email screen (Comcast), it just started magnifying and is now quite large font. I cannot figure out how to get it back to the normal size.
Hi,
Please try pressing '''Ctrl''' + '''0''' (zero). This resets the zoom. Alternatively, '''View '''(Alt + '''V''') > '''Zoom''' > '''Reset'''.

Hi!
I just got my new Macbook today (!!!) and I love it, but I can't figure out how to authorize this computer to play my purchased itunes music. I don't have any other computers authorized to play my purchased music, as I have de-authorized my previous computer. How do I authorize this new one? I know the FAQ section says to go to Store > Authorize computer, but I can't seem to find where this is located? I've never owned a Mac before.Silly me... I didn't realize that the top of the screen changes as you change windows (unlike windows computers). Thank you so much for the help. I really appreciate it!
