I added an extra couple of lines (below) into the keyboard section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf but I believe you can create your own file that will do the job just as well
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
(the second line sets ctrl+alt+backspace to reset X). In the first line you will need to change gb to whatever code Canadian English uses

Can you set up a new I Tunes account, but still use the same email address, as having problems with it keep telling me it has been disabled, no matter what I do to chnage the passwords, I haven't used the account since 2010?

Hi eddinchina,
You should have no need to use the Old Sync account.
As long as device or devices are Firefox 29 or later (They should all be Firefox 30 now) you should use the New Sync.
You may use the same email address with both accounts.

I share a photo stream with a family member. Is there a way to make it so we have separate photo stream but still use the same apple id?

You'll want a separate iCloud account for each user in addition to the main Apple ID used for purchases.
Let's say you have a family of four (husband, wife, and two children). Here is what you will need:
Main Apple ID for shared purchases in Tunes (everybody will be using this)
iCloud (Apple ID) account for husband
iCloud (Apple ID) account for wife
iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 1
iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 2
Yes, you can have both an Apple ID and iCloud account setup on the same device. On each iOS device, setup the main Apple ID account for the following services:
iCloud (Photo Stream and Backup are the only items selected here).
Music Home Sharing
Video Home Sharing
Photo Stream
Additionally, on each iOS device, add a new iCloud account (Under Mail, Contacts, Calendar) that is unique to each user for the following services:
Mail (if using @me.com)
Contacts
Calendars
Reminders
Bookmarks
Notes
Find My iPhone
Messages
Find Friends
FaceTime
On your individual Macs (or Mac accounts), use the main Apple ID in iTunes. Then, use the unique iCloud account in/for iCloud.
Now that everbody is using separate iCloud accounts for your contacts, calendars, and other things, it will be all be kept separate.
The only thing that is now 'shared' would be iTunes content (apps and other purchases), backups via iCloud (if enabled), and Photo Stream (if enabled).

Can I create a separate icloud account for my husband but still use the same itunes account? I want our contacts, photos and storage capacity to be separate but be able to share music and apps we purchase.

Welcome to the Apple community Pammy.
Yes, that's exactly what I'd suggest for the vast majority of users.

Can I have two apple id's but still use the same itunes

My mom just got an iPhone. We use the same iTunes but can we both have different Apple ID's and still use the same iTunes??

Log in and out of the iTunes Store as needed; content purchased from both can exist in the same library and on the same device.
If you've purchased an application under one ID, you may need to be logged into it to make in-app purchases. If the iTunes library contains protected content from more than five Apple IDs, iTunes may not allow devices to be fully synced.

Removed layouts folder but still "Restoring the window layout"

MY ORIGINAL PROBLEM
All my Final Cut Pro X files are save on my external hard drive. When I open FCP with my hard drive plugged in, FCP says "Restoring the window layout" and a grey background appears. If I open FCP without my harddrive and then plug my harddrive in once FCP has loaded,FCP works. Please Help!
The problem seemed to be solved by putting the layouts folder on the desktop
But I just loaded up FCP and its the same stupid problem all over again.

The extrernal drive doesn't have FCP installed on it. It only has the FCP projects and events.
It isn't the drive I use for time machine

Can I turn off my cellular connection completely but still use the gps?

On an old so, I forget which one, I used to be able to disable my cellular connection. I realise I can still do this with airplane mode but this stops the GPS working too. The main reason I want this as when I'm hiking I want to use my phone as a GPS device but without any signal my phones battery lasts about an hour. When I used to be able to disable it I could get a good 12+ hours of gps tracking.
Thanks

It that case I'll test an workaround this weekend to see if I'm able to use it more than one day:
Disable Auto Screen Brightness and set Brightness to minimum
Turn Off:
Data Connection
Wifi Connection
Under Location Services, turn off
Cell Network Search
Traffic
Above just to be safe because GSM services will not be initiated
Reboot phone
Not unlock the SIM card so the GSM services wil not start.
I'll let you know if there are some improvements and let's hope that Apple will allow us to turn off GSM services as well in the futures iOSes
Regads,

I have upgraded from 3.5 to 4.1 , it downloads to the folder but still uses the 3.5

I'm getting an urgent to update on my screen so I have updated from 3.5 to 4.1 , it has down loaded to the firefox folder but still brings up the old firerfox.
I have downloaded it 3 times and rebooted around 6 times but still the same screen telling me to upgrade as the older version is not now protected.
Kind Regards
Dennis

It looks that the update wasn't successful because your "More system details" list still shows a Firefox 3.5.19 version.
If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

How can I remove my iCloud Photo Albums from my iPhone 6 storage, but still use the iCloud Photo Sharing?

I put all my photos from my iPod Touch 4 and my iPhone 4S in iCloud Photo Albums and Labeled them so that when I got the new iPhone 6 on iOS 8.1.2 I could have my previous photos on there for future use. Now I look on my iTunes app on my computer it shows that my storage on my iPhone 6 is almost full. Those Photos in iCloud are taking up all my storage on my iPhone. I know how to add more storage on my iCloud account, I just want to know Is there a way where my iCloud Photo Albums can still be in my iCloud Account, just not taking up all my storage on my iPhone.

Hello mushysun,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you did not sign out of your Apple ID on your iPhone before creating a new one, then you will need to sign back in with your previous Apple ID and then sign out. If you do not remember your password and do not have access to the email account, then you can reset your password by using the security questions.
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
Have a great weekend,

Can you install Lion server but still use the mac as normal?

I have a Macbook Pro and I would like to install Lion server. I was wondering if when I buy it off the mac app store if it works like any application so I can like close out of the server and use the mac as normal like to get on the Internet, or if Lion server installs like a new operation system and I can't use my mac as normal?
Thanks
WirelessCharge

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Of course. On Mountain Lion and Lion, Server is just an app, so you can close it and turn off its services whenever you want to use your Mac as usual, although you don't have to close Server app to use the computer as normal

When logging in to Icloud I get the message 'Apple ID' is valid but is not an Icloud Account. I have changed passord but still get the same message.

I have just set up Icloud and backed up files to it. I have not been able to log in. I get the message 'Apple ID is valid but is not an Icloud account. I have the same User ID for Icloud and Apple but different passwords. Neither combinations work. I have reset passwords twice but get the same result.

You cannot set up an iCloud account on Windows - is that where you tried to do it? The error message you quote is what happens when, having an Apple ID, you attempt to use it on Windows to create an iCloud account. You can create an iCloud account on a Mac or an iOS device, then you can sign into it in the Windows Control Panel. None of this should have any effect in the iTunes Store (the forum for which is where you have posted).

My husband and I are separated, but still using the same App Store account. Is there any way I can create a new account but keep the apps (and, more importantly, the data in those apps)?

I have budgeting and home management apps that contain lots of data and I would like to retain these apps and the data when we split our App Store accounts. Is there any way to do that? I don't want to have to go and buy the apps again - this includes all the kids' games that we bought on the account.

PrettyPettyThings wrote:
Thanks. Well I retain the data if I purchase the app again?
That depends on the app and where the app's data are stored. I think if you back up the phone, delete the app, purchase it again using your Apple ID, then restore the backup you will get your data back. But I cannot guarantee it.

HT4436 I have an existing Apple ID that I use for my IPOD Touch. I just received an Iphone 4S to replace my existing Blackberry that broke. Can I set up a new ID for my work phone, but still use the same laptop that I use for my Ipod Touch?

I have an existing Apple ID for my Ipod touch being used via my laptop. I just received an Iphone 4S as a replacement for my Blackberry Curve that broke, that goes through Verizon. Do I set up a separate Apple ID for the phone, and will it work with the same laptop? Can one computer work with two ID's and two different devices?

No need to create a New Apple ID... your Existing one will work fine...

Can I stop the Finder icons from changing size while I use the Trackpad?

Very frustrating:
Often when I touch my trackpad and I'm in finder the icons/folders get very small! Have to go back to "Finder" then "View" amd "show view options" to reset them to 48x48.
Is there a way to lock the change of their sizes (but still use the trackpad for touch sensitive stuff)?

System Preferences>Trackpad. Uncheck Pinch to Open and Close.

I changed my appleID but iCloud is still using the old one and no place to change it. How do I get iCloud to update to the new ID?

You have to sign out completely and then sign back in.
On a Mac, System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign out'.
On an iOS device, Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete account' (this will not delete the account from the server).
Your synced data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in (give it time).
