In Apps store on mac pro my apple id is showing as someone else and I cannot remove the name to re input my actual apple id even after signing out - it is set as default or something and yet I am the only user of the mac?
<Email Edited by Host>
You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

I bought a Mac Book Pro retina display, Serial Number C02J*****2, on 8/11/2012. Unfortunately, I am unable to download updates from the App store.Whenever I tried to download updates, it shows me an error message, "we could not complete your request. there is an error in the App Store. Try again later (100). Your Apple ID has been disabled, contact iTune support". However,the problem still persists even after my password has been successfully reset. What is is the error in the app store? I really need help to resolve this issue.
Moreover,I also need help how to update to the mountain lion free of charge as my Mac pro is four(4) days old.

Hi,
I am trying to disable updates, set as default browser option and import settings from other browers permanently for many users for firefox 31.0.
can you please help me with that. I know settings are going to prefs.js file in user profile. How can make this permanent for many users.Hi gaurav3012,
Permanent change would be locking preferences: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences]
However importing many users profiles to different computers may require a new profile for each user.
Currently there is an option to import bookmarks from other browsers, but not preferences.
Update preferences can be read about here: [[Configuration Options for Updates]]
Firefox ESR is also another version of Firefox that is meant for Enterprise environments [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/] that mostly has their support on their mailing list. -
USB drive with install image is showing in Startup Manager on a Mac Pro, but wont boot. Showing circle with cross strip, and shut down automatically. USB device are made and work on two different MacBook Pro, but used on Mac Pro. Any help?
OS X installers have always been fairly specific, hardware-wise. I haven't read anything reflecting that situation with the Recovery HD, so it may be that the Recovery HD created for the MacBook Pro does not have the necessary drivers for the Mac Pro. Obviously, nothing definitive here, but a possibility.

After upgrading to Mac OS Lion, even after installing Java manually, some web pages don't download and appear blank whereas Firefox and Opera work. Can someone help?
Might be a third party Safari addon that was compatible with Snow Leopard but not Lion that's preventing pages to load. That add on may not have any effect on the other browsers, just Safari.
Read here > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Also, if you have Little Snitch or Peer Guardian or anti virus sofware installed on your Mac, that might prevent pages to load also. -
I recently had a shuffle stolen and wondered if there was any way apple can trace it if someone else tries to sync or use the ipod?
No, manufacturers generally do not track people's stolen property. The shuffle has no means to connect to the Internet so you can't track it yourself. Thankfully it's only $49.

i purchased a gift card and entered the code to redeem it; however, i never used it. i initially had trouble setting up my itune account and had to create a new acct. is this why my gift card is invalid?
Yes.
You have already redeemed it. It should be available on the old account. Why did you make another? -
I'm trying to download some purchased TV shows to my iPad Air. I keep getting the dreaded Download Error Tap to Retry Message. I've signed out of iTunes and back in. I've updated my software. I have plenty of room for them on the Air. We are taking a long flight this week, and I wanted to have something new to watch. I've read through lots of threads on this but I can't seem to find a good solution that I haven't tried.
If I can get them to download them on my iMac computer, can I then transfer them to my iPad? How is this done? (Please pardon an older lady's ignorance, and thank you for any assistance!)

I started getting a Timed Out error message on my iPhone 5 when trying to browse the internet tthat reads Page could not be loaded. Connection timed out. I performed a Reset Network Settings and am still getting the error message. What is the fix?
Thanks so much for more direction.
I realized that I bought this iPod T4 about a year ago, so decided to check the date and it is still under the 1 year ltd. warranty until 21 Dec. I contacted Apple via Chat and was informed that the problem may lie in the version of iTunes I was running 10.7. Today Apple released v. 11 of iTunes which I was instructed to download. It's TOTALLY different from iTunes 10.7 - drastically different in fact.
The Apple Chat Rep set up a phone call appointment forl 8:00 pm ET tonight where another Rep will call me to make sure the restore was accomplished OK. With v. 11 of iTunes I can't even find the restore option!!! The phone Rep will have to help me navigate v. 11 of iTunes. It doesn't seem intuitive at all. Maybe it's just me?!?!
Thank you for sending this new link for firmware. It's not clear to me right now whether I'll need it or not. The phone Rep will probably somehow be able to resolve the problem. If not, they'll probably send me to the nearest Apple store if the problem is hardware, as it would be covered under the warranty. I will give another update as to what transpires as a result of the phone call with the Apple Rep.
Again, thank you so much for helping me. -
I do not know if this has anything to do with my problem or not. I just recalibrated my battery and now cannot remove anything from the dock. I have moved it half way up and held it and it just goes back to the dock. Will not let me even put it in the trash. I am new to the macbook so would you please help me?
There is NO calibration on a modern macbook
Battery calibration, battery memory, battery overcharging, battery training, …all these concepts are mostly holdovers from much older battery technology, and on older Apple portable Macbooks ranging from early nicads, NiMh and otherwise; and these practices do not apply to your lithium battery and its smart controllers.
Current Apple portable computer batteries are pre-calibrated and are not to be calibrated
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1490
There is no battery calibration with current Apple portable Macbooks with built-in batteries. Lithium batteries have essentially a 0-‘memory’, and all such calibration involve the estimations fed to the system controller on the SOC (state of charge) of the battery over long periods of time as the battery degrades. The software based battery controller knows the battery's characteristics, or SOC and adjusts itself. This is why there is both no need and purpose to periodically deeply drain your macbook battery, since it doesn’t affect the characteristics of the battery, and further still deep discharges are something you should not do on purpose to any lithium battery. -
When I plug my ipod in I am able to add song to it but the tab that says "on this ipod" no longer shows up so I cannot remove things from my ipod or anything like that. How do I change this weird setting? On other computers this shows up fine so it is clearly a problem with itunes and not my ipod.

Change the Name of a credit card in Apple Pay
Is there a way to change the name of a credit card in Apple Pay? I have both personal and business cards and thry look exactly the same in the passport. It would be a great feature to be able to nickname accounts.
-> Right-click the '''New Folder''' and click '''Properties'''
* in the ''Name'' field, type the name of this folder
* click '''Save''' button
Check and tell if its working. -
i have a nano 4th generation 8gb i have tried resetting it, i get the apple logo come up but nothing else happens. It will work in my docking station but as soon as i take it out it will not respond. any ideas, do i need a new battery?
It definitely sounds like your Nano needs a new battery at this point. You can have Apple replace it for a flat fee, send it into a third party service center to be replaced for much less, or you can purchase a new battery online and swap it out yourself if you feel up to it.
