Ical alarms and birthdays...please help
I am trying to get all of my birthdays to use the same alarm settings. I went in and set up one persons birthday alarm setting but cant figure out how to get all of them to send an alarm without going to each and every birthday listing. I have a "calendar" set up called, Birthdays that they are all listed under. Is there an easy way to do this?
So, it sounds like I may have been experiencing the same problem as everyone else (general iCal alarm issues). The location of the preferences file you provided is exactly what I was looking for! I deleted the file, created a test event with an alarm a few mins in the future, and BAM! It worked! For the first time in over... a couple years now (?) I actually saw an iCal alarm.
Possible causes of my error: while i think it may have been upgrades, software bugs, mobileme, etc. it seems one unexplored possibility was when my machine ran out of a charge (batteries) and the date was reset to 1969. I checked the date of the file you mentioned above--crated date was 1969. So, it was cycling through hundreds of alarms since I got my machine (2004).
In short... THANK YOU FOR POSTING THAT LOCATION OF THAT FILE. I hope I am not speaking prematurely and that this issue does not crop up again. If so, at least I have a decent workaround. Cheers.

my itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible
i think i might have a solution... i have windows vista and after i installed to latest itunes update everytime i tried to open it it would freeze. I tried everything, including uninstalling itunes and all of its components and reinstalled it numerous times. So i went to the itunes folder in my folders, not on itunes, and i deleted my itunes library and playlists. After that it worked just fine, all of my music was deleted but luckily i had my files saved elsewhere.
I hope this helped! I know its frustrating and APPLE/ITUNES NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM!!!! -

Hey erinoneill24,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sounds like you can't update your device. You don't mention an error that it gives you. Take a look at both of these articles to troubleshoot.
iPod displays "Use iTunes to restore" message

If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
Have a nice day,

I would like to keep all my Music and photos on my mac but only top rated music and certain photos on my iPad and iPhone how do i stop iCloud from sending all to iPad and iPhone
please help
Regards
Steve DaveyIf you manually manage the device the you can remove the content from the PC after you have put it on the device. However this isn't the recommended way. At some point you'll probably need to restore it which involves wiping all the data. If you don't have all this data to hand then you'll have to try to recover it from a now problematic device first. It's much easier to sync with your library - yes you have two copies, but that's not a waste, it is prudent. As long as you have two copies you can afford to lose one knowing you have a backup. In practice I keep a complete backup of my library, in addition to the subsets of it that I can put on my devices.

I have latest firefox on my desktop and laptop, was working very well since threee years. Sudenlly has stop working both on my desktop and laptop. please help me.
Hello becky81464
If you were able to load websites until you updated Firefox, your Internet security software (including firewalls, antivirus programs, anti-spyware programs, and more) is likely preventing Firefox from connecting to the Internet, see [http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-firewalls-so-firefox-can-access-internet firewalls]

You need the Apple ID and password that was originally used to set up the device. Ask the seller to give it to you. If the seller is unable or unwilling to provide the information, the Phone is probably stolen. There is nothing you can do.

This can be the result of selecting the wrong driver. An older, unsupported laser printer will sometimes work with the generic Postscript driver.

cannot restore ipod, forgot password and id please help
thank youYou'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it. If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.

The apps that were under the 5 year of the App Store banner are no longer free. They are now, once again, for fee apps and that banner is gone from the store front. It was A limited time deal and appears to have ended. Those app developers were not going to give their apps away forever.
