I changed the alert phrase that usually says, "Excuse me, ____ needs your attention." And I need to change it back. It's cursing at me. :)

I had changed this a long time ago, so I don't remember how. It was done on an older computer and carried over to my new one. I think it was done through the terminal...

I want to get Madden NFL 12 at the app store. The app size is 303 MB. When i try to buy it it says thier is not enough space to download it, but when i go to settings it says thier is 579 MB available Space left.

To download an install an app requires free space that is between two and three times the download file size. You ned to free up more storage space.

desk top is seriously behind on software, i just wanna get it back up to date

You don't say what model of Mac Pro you have, but all will run 10.6, which is the base version required to run the App Store and progress to further versions. The first two models of Mac Pro (2006 and 2007) cannot go further than 10.7.
You can get a 10.6.3 retail DVD online at most vendors (eg amazon) and update to 10.6.8 after that using Software Update.

How do i make icloud work if my husband and I share the same itunes account but we dont want to get each others contacts, messages, apps etc?

Each of you should set up your separate iCloud account on your own computer using your Apple ID. This gives you two independent iCloud accounts.
Note that an iPad is not a multi-user device. It can only be synced with one account.

I wanted to get this app from the app store but it wouldn't load the app after typing it in the search box

Hey apple or who ever is going to answer the question I'm about to give,
Anyway, my question Why isn't my app store working? Is there a glitch in the IOS 7 or something. But let me get into further detail about my situation. I wanted to get this app from the app store. When I click on the app everything is fine at first, but then i click on the "search button" and I type out the name of the app.And usually the name of the app would pop up to what it appears be a list of the names of each app, but that never happened. Then, I clicked "enter" or "search" and it wouldn't load after hours and hours. And then I decided to go to the settings and see whats up with the app. I scoll down and click on the "ITunes & App Store" with an arrow pointing right. Once I clicked it, it freezes. But I haven't updated my phone (its IOS 7 but theres an update for IOS 7.1 or something like that)
Regards,
Veronica M.

Reset the device then try the App Store.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
No data is lost due to a reset.
When you can, yes, there's an update available.
Tap Settings > General > Software Update

I want to get rid of all unwanted apps off my iphone5. I mean the ones appear as bought but not in use. Is this possible?

No, you can not delete the pre-installed apps. However, you can hide them by placing them in a folder (create one by dragging one app onto another) and putting that folder on an unused page.

I am extremely upset. I purchased my iPad in SA and I am traveling in Greece. When I want to make use of the free apps, I get a message that the app is not available in the SA store. What is the point of having an iPad if you cannot use it worldwide?

I am extremely upset. I purchased my iPad in SA and now I am in Greece. I cannot download free apps as I get a message that the apps are not available in the SA store and only in US stores. When I change to the US store the same thing happens. What is the point of having an iPad if I cannot use it worldwide??? I feel that I wasted my money purchasing it as I specifically purchased it to use when I travel. How can I get access to all the available apps and why are they restricted.

You can use your iPad worldwide. However, each AppleID is tied to
a specific country's store. To use the AppStore in any country, you
must be in that country and have a credit/debit card issued by a financial
institution in that country with a verified billing address in that country.
It is the developer's choice which AppStores he makes his app available
from, and some countries prohibit certain apps.
To make a purchase from the US store (including downloading a free app
available in the US store), you must be in the US and have card issued
in the US with verified billing address in the US.
You can use your purchases from the SA store worldwide, but you
cannot make purchases in other than the SA store unless you meet
the aforesaid conditions.

A window has popped up saying, "Want more options? Right-click the app" how do I get rid of this. It won't let me exit it. Is it a virus?

A window is popping up everytime I open firefox. It says "Want more options? Right click the app" It will not let me close it and won't let me continue on firefox until I give it an answer

You can start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

HT204266 Well i downloaded a free app from the app store and after i downloaded it i wanted to get more features but it costed $0.99 so i purchased it and then when i re-oppened the app it was still locked like if i had not purchased it. What am i suppose

Can someone please help me!?

Hi Paula_Carlos,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with the in-app purchase on your iPhone.
The first thing I would suggest is to log out of your iTunes Account on your iPhone, turn the iPhone off and then on again, and see if apps finish updating:
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Tap on your Apple ID account > Tap Sign Out
If the issues persists, the article below will give you a few more troubleshooting steps:
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
Try the following steps to resolve your issue, testing the app after each step.
1. Update your device software
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
2. Check for app updates
Ensure that your apps are up to date:
Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
When prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the application updates.
Note: Some applications may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.3. Install another app from the App Store
4. Restart the application
If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app:
Press the Home button to return to the Home screen.
Double-tap the Home button to display recent apps.
Tap and hold the affected app until the red minus appears.
Tap the red minus to quit the app.
Press the Home button, then restart the app.
5. Restart your deviceHold the Sleep/Wake button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.
6. Reinstall the affected application
Remove the application from your device and reinstall it.
Touch and hold any application icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle.
Tap the "x" in the corner of the application you want to delete.
Tap Delete to remove the application and all of its data from your device.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store.
Search for the application and then download it again.
Note: If it is a paid app, ensure you are using the iTunes account you purchased the app with originally. If it is not, you will be charged for the app again. For more information regarding downloading previously purchased items, see this article.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Apple id was originally disabled. I reset my password and can sign into my apple id account. But when i want to buy an app in the app store it says my apple id is disabled again.

apple id was originally disabled. I reset my password and can sign into my apple id account. But when i want to buy an app in the app store it says my apple id is disabled again.

It's real easy to create a new one and, in fact, it's too easy. I say that because multiple IDs are a PIA. The problem is that anything obtained from the iTunes Store is PERMANENTLY associated with the ID that was used to obtain the item(s). iTunes items can not be transferred from one ID to another and IDs can not be merged.
The problem arises when you want to update an app. If you're doing it from iTunes on your computer, you must log out and back in to get to the correct ID. Then you update and log out/in again to get back to where you started. It's slightly easier if you update from the iPad/iPod device as there is no need to log out/in BUT you still need the correct password for the appropriate ID. Of course, with a disabled ID, the problem is much worse!
A replacement Apple ID makes sense ONLY if you wish to start out absolutely brand new with zero iTunes Store purchases.
If you're really butting your head aginst a wall and you're reasonably close to an Apple Store, my suggestion is that you make an appointment with the resident "Genius" and get his/her help.
One last thought... If your brother actually got a human on the phone to dispute the charges, go there and explain the problem. Of course, if Apple did not accept his explanation of what occurred, that could be the whole issue. Apple believes that money is owed on the account!

Can I get apps from the iTunes Store to work on my MacBook Air?

how do i get apps from the iTunes store to work on my macbook?

Apps from the iTunes store are only for ios based devices. ie iPad or iPhone
If you want an app for your Macbook use the App Store on the toolbar and you can purchase a mac version if it exists.

What does it take to get an app on the Ovi store?

What does it take to get an app on the ovi store? There are so many apps available that are not included in the ovi store.... like "s60spoton" It allows you to use your cameras flash as a flash light! I've been wanting this forever. If this app was easily available on the Ovi store, I would have been able to find it easily... but it was linked to me in a forum.
Why are there so many useful apps not cataloged in the Ovi store?

It's the maker of an apps responsibility to get it listed on the store so if it's not on there it's because the maker hasn't put it there.
Nokia cannot put apps on the store without the makers consent.
Only the maker/publisher of an app can tell you why their app isn't on the store. It may be for financial reasons, legal reasons, licensing issues, piracy concerns or they may just have ceased development and moved on.
The ovi store isn't the only source of applications and some developers prefer to use independant sites like www.getjar.com instead.

"Devices running,press if you want to know more or stop the app"?

What is this and how do i stop it?
It pops up every time I start Internet. Pressing it will only get me to the appsettings where i can uninstall or stop. If i stop the app, it starts up again after a while. Guess it's someone sharing service, but I have not started anything to share with ex. dlna.

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
Check if you have Media server enabled.
Settings > Xperia connections > Media server.
If not yo probably have a computer on your Wi-Fi network that act as an DLNA server.
Or do this also happen when connected to 3G/4G networks? I can see by your screen shot that you're connected to a Wi-Fi network.
