  • How can I update iPhoto and iMovie on a different apple id without having to buy the apps again?

    I started up my macbook pro 2 years ago using someone else's apple id. I just recently updated my software to OS X Yosemite and now I can't open iPhoto & iMovie.  It says I have to download the latest version. How can I download it using my own apple id without having to purchase it?

    Go to the Mac App Store main page, choose Support under Quick Links, contact Apple, and see what they say.

  • I want to be able to organize my photos like I could with my old pc without having copies of the same pictures in the photos section, the events section, the places section etc

    Please help me with organizing my pictures into folders in iphoto

    You need to rethink organizing photos - iPhoto is a SQL database program that organizes photos - you are thinking about organizing files rather than photos
    I Photo never makes copies of photos - it does have two or three different versions of a photo but no copies - and this is the way it works - you can not change that
    The way to organize in iPhoto is to use the database tools provided - events are just a simple basic bucket of photos - you organize using faces, places, albums and folders - with ratings and keywords to assist
    Mine are organized on the old high school journalism 5 Ws - who, what, where, when and why - faces for who, places for where, the camera supplied date/time for when and keywords for what & Why
    Then with albums, smart albums adn folders organization is simple - and with the search window finding any photo is simple
    If you want to organize files then use the finder and preview for viewing photos - if you want a powerful Digatal Asset Manager (DAM) use iPhoto

  • I would like my children to have the own apple accounts, without having to lie about there age. I personally have no interest in buying music at this time and want them to have there own accounts. Help make this happen. Tks

    I would like my children to have the own apple accounts, without having to lie about there age. I personally have no interest in buying music at this time and want them to have there own accounts. Help make this happen. Tks

    I believe that if they are not old enough for an own account, it isn't possible.
    If you really don't want to lie about their age, you could make your own account and let them use it. Be sure your bank account isn't linked to it, because little children tend to innocently buy all kinds off stuff. (you could use a iTunes gift card)
    lying about age is quite common, Apple can do not much about it, but only, if your children see for them harming content, Apple can't be blamed.
    If someone knows much better, you better trust him, I do not know most of these kind of things

    can i use apple tv without having tv ? just display apple tv on my mac

    Apple TV requires an HDTV. It is a media streamer and all content would be available on your Mac so there would be no reason to connect it anyway.

  • Is it possible to watch a previously purchased movie on Apple TV without having to turn on my computer?

    I just bought a 3rd gen Apple TV. I have some movies on my MacBook which I purchased through the iTunes store. I know I can watch those movies on my Apple TV, but is it possible to watch those movies on my Apple TV WITHOUT having to turn on my computer? In other words, does iCloud support movies, and if so, can apple TV access them directly? My MacBook is on the third floor, and my living room is on the first floor, so I just want to avoid having to turn on my laptop everytime I want to watch one of those movies.

    Your past purchases. Available on all your devices.
    Now you can download music, movies, and TV shows you’ve previously purchased to all your devices. When you buy from iTunes, iCloud stores your purchase history. So you can see what you’ve bought — no matter which device you bought it on. You can access your purchase history from the iTunes Store on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, or Apple TV. And since you already own the songs, albums, movies, or TV shows in your purchase history, you can tap to download them to any of your devices

  • How to use Apple TV with Logitech Harmony remote WITHOUT having to unpair?

    I have a Logitech Harmony 880 remote which I am trying to set up with my new Apple TV.
    Within the Logitech software I set up Apple TV as a MediaCenter PC device.
    I've followed these instructions already.
    http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8480
    The Harmony remote works great with the Apple TV if I follow these instructions to unpair the remote EVERY time I want to use it. Once I turn the TV off or switch to another activity, it loses this setting and I have to unpair again when I go back to Apple TV.
    I would like to be able to use my Harmony Remote without having to unpair constantly.
    I have tried to pair the Apple TV with the Harmony remote. This only served to render my Apple Remote nonfunctional and I still have to unpair every time.
    I tried to use the Harmony remote's IR learning mode directly with my Apple Remote instead of using the settings from the database. I still have to unpair every time.
    I tried to go into the Apple TV > Settings > General > Remote and have Apple TV learn my remote's IR. There are instructions to hold down each button until a progress bar is full. The first button is the up arrow. The progress bar never activates when I push the up arrow on my Logitech Harmony remote although I know the Apple TV is somewhat recognizing the button press because I hear an auditory beep and see the led light on the front of the Apple TV flash when I push the button. None of the arrow buttons of the Harmony remote would activate the on screen progress bar although some buttons such as the Volume buttons would.
    At this point, I resigned myself to having to unpair every time I accessed my Apple TV so I thought I would get smart and program the unpair button to show up as one of the additional buttons on the lcd screen of the Harmony Remote when I start the Apple TV activity. I'm sure by now you can see where this is going. My attempts to outsmart my advanced technological devices failed dismally as it seems the unpair option of the Harmony remote will only function correctly if I first press the Devices button and then choose the Apple TV.
    I was wondering if anyone had gotten a Logitech Harmony remote to work successfully with the new Apple TV without having to use the unpair command every time and if so, what did you do to resolve this issue?

    I'm having the same issue except that I set up the Apple TV as a Media PC on my Harmony 770 and that gave me the unpair addition button that actually works. Per your idea, I've been using that to gain functionality of my Apple TV 3 from the Harmony remote.
    However that's just a workaround. I've gone a step further and learned the raw commands and it still won't work. This makes me think the issue is on the Apple TV refusing to recognize the remote unless you press "unpair" everytime.
    Is anyone else having this issue on the current Apple TV 3 firmware?

  • Can I set up a password for when renting movies from my Apple TV without having to sign out?

    Can I set up a password when renting movies from my Apple TV without having to sign out?

    Is there an issue just signing out?  It's a chore entering itunes store password sometimes I agree but there's no way to set a local password on AppleTV - though it's a good idea as you could have a simpler one than for itunes store.
    Ordinarily I enter my password for rentals though AppleTV ususally asks if I want it to remember it automatically.  If you sign out and sign back in you should get the option. 

  • Is there a way to "deauthorise" computers from your apple ID without having access to those computers?

    Is there a way to "deauthorise" computers from your apple ID without having access to those computers?

    Hi there ellou86!
    I have an article here for you that can help you with this question:
    iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
    Specifically, it seems that this is the portion of the article that is most relevant to your question:
    To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
    If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
    Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
    If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
    Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
    In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
    Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden

  • How do I open my itunes account on a new computer without having to buy all new songs? It doesn't seem fair to have to buy all the same songs a second time if they are already purchased by me and I just want them on my new computer!
