MacBook Pro: I have changed my old apple id address but cannot now update apps as it sees my old apple id name as the primary holder. I decided to edit back to the old apple id but it won't allow me to do so. What else can I do?
MacBook Pro: I have changed my old apple ID address but cannot update apps now as it still reverts to my old ID address as the primary holder (it is the apple ID that I have purchased the apps, etc). I have tried to edit back to the old address but it will not let me type in the address and there is no blue edit sign on the rhs. What can I do to rectify this problem?. Is there a waiting period after editing an apple ID address? I have spent the good part of yesterday searching the net and know that there is a major problem with this but wondering if anyone has found a solution. Thank you.
Hello Jamcef,
Thank you for the question. Use these steps to change the Apple ID signed into the iTunes Store:
Sign in with a different Apple ID
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores.
Tap your Apple ID.
If you see the option to Sign In, you can change your Apple ID now.
Tap Sign Out.
Enter your Apple ID and Password and tap Sign In.
Or if you don't have another Apple ID, tap Create New Apple ID.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

Cannot view any Apple ID in settings, cannot download/update apps
If anyone could help me with this problem I will be eternally grateful.
I have now had my iPhone replaced on 3 seperate occasions since the beginning of January because of various faults, the shop have said they will refuse another replacement so I really need to find out what is causing some of this stuff.
Basically, originally, after a few weeks of happily using my iPhone 4 in a really standard way (no jailbreaking etc. just a few average apps) eventually when I tried to download a new app or update an app I already had, a message would come up saying 'Do you agree to the new terms and conditions' ... I press agree, then an error message appears and states that I have to enable cookies in order to continue. My cookies are already enabled, I have cleared them, restored my iPhone, done everything. Nothing changes that message, every time I have to agree to the terms and conditions and then it tells me to enable my cookies.
This must be in someway related to my other problem. In Settings > Store > View Apple ID. A loading screen appears, then after a while it says enter account info. I do this, then a loading screen appears... then it asks me to enter account info... This happens with any Apple ID (even the guy in the shop tried to use his) It just refuses to show anyone's ID.
So I picked up a new iPhone today (for a seperate reason, the back was wobbly) and I've taken it home and plugged it into iTunes. In order to update the software I had to start it up as a new iPhone. While it was in this new state I checked my Apple ID - everything fine. Then I restored it to the backup I made earlier today, now my Apple ID doesn't work. I am currently in the process of restoring it to an older backup (from about a month ago)
I am fairly certain this will fix the problem of viewing the Apple ID, but this isn't really satisfactory as I have now lost all my photos/contacts/notes/calendar/voice memos/apps/etc...
Does anyone have any idea how I can just avoid this Apple ID / AppStore cookies problem??!
*Sorry for this essay, here are the cliffs:*
-After a while my first iPhone stopped allowing me to download new apps/update them
-A message would appear telling me to enable cookies every time I tried to do anything
-Then I noticed that in Settings > Store > View Apple ID - It wouldn't allow me (or anyone) to view their Apple ID
-The shop replaces my iPhone due to this
-Still having the same problem, I just want to get rid of the problem rather than backing up to a really old backup of my phone
If anyone has any idea I would be so grateful
Message was edited by: slugofficeI suggest reading the manual, but for now:
Backing Up iPhone
iTunes creates backups of settings, downloaded apps and data, and other information on iPhone. You can use a backup to restore these items to your iPhone after a software restore or to transfer the information to another iPhone. See “Updating and Restoring iPhone Software” on page 252.
Backing up iPhone or restoring from a backup isn’t the same as syncing content and other items (such as music, podcasts, ringtones, photos, videos, and apps that you download via iTunes) with your iTunes library. Backups include settings, downloaded apps and data, and other information on iPhone. After you restore iPhone, you need to sync again to get your music, videos, photos, apps, and other content back on iPhone. See “Restoring from a Backup” on page 253.
Apps downloaded from the App Store are backed up the next time you sync with iTunes. Afterwards, only app data is backed up when you sync with iTunes.
Creating a Backup
iTunes creates a backup of iPhone when you: Â Sync with iTunes
By default, iTunes syncs iPhone each time you connect iPhone to your computer. See “Syncing with iTunes” on page 56. iTunes won’t automatically back up an iPhone that isn’t configured to sync with that computer. You can also sync manually by clicking Sync in iTunes. Note that iTunes creates a backup only once each time iPhone is connected to your computer, before the first sync that occurs. If you sync again, iTunes doesn’t create another backup.
 Update iPhone iTunes backs up iPhone before updating iPhone, even if it isn’t configured to sync
with iTunes on that computer. Â Restore iPhone (if you choose to back up)
iTunes asks if you want to back up iPhone before restoring it.
For more information about backups, including the settings and information stored in a backup, go to support.apple.com/kb/HT1766.
=============
With the phone connected click on the Info tab. You will be able to selet a desktop app to sync calendar and contacts. On a Mac you will normally choose iCal for the calendar and Address Book for contacts. Whenever you sync any changes on either the iPhone or Contacts will be copied to the other platform. -
I am having a problem with my email account not updating on my iphone even though it tell me I have email in my btinternet account. Has anybody experienced this and have any possible solutions?
1954paulAfter some troubleshooting, I decided to order a new battery. I replaced the battery and was then able to get it to restore, however--after I restore it and it comes time to restart the phone, it gets stuck and doesn't turn on.
Sorry, your repair ruined the iPhone.
She does not have apple care and even though she loved this device, she isn't going to buy another iPhone because of all the problems shes had with this one (it's just over a year old).
After you ruined the iPhone with DIY, Apple won't touch it anymore. You should have asked before all these had happened.
I'm an android user myself and I love rooting/flashing new ROMS, so if jailbreaking her phone or doing some kind of super-restore with 3rd party programs might help, I'm all for it-
Yeah, all Android user can think of is Jailbreaking, read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743 -

Hi
I have been given a MacBook Pro and have downloaded all the recent updates.
Safari will not open.
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be appreciated
Regards
lb6301OK, the only thing that I can suggest at this point is to take the machine to your local Apple Store and have them download and install the latest version of Safari. It's likely something that they'll do for free if you get a nice Genius...
I don't know what I was thinking about - finely figured out that you MUST have an iOS or other device!
Sorry we couldn't solve the problem... hopefully, you've a nearby Apple Store? Or an AASP?

Since installing Mavericks on my MacBook Pro, I have many documents, but not all, that cannot be opened in either Pages 5 or in Pages '09. The names show in my document lists, but are greyed out. They do not show any extensions, but I'm sure at seast some of them are PDFs. As I cannot open them, I am unable to try to experiment with any solutions - I am not tech savvy, but can sometimes fix things by trial and error. I have no issues with sharing documents as I have no other devices. I just want to be able to open my saved documents! Also, the documents I can open have to be persistently coaxed to open to a point that it is extremely aggravating. I am not so happy with this recent "upgrade." Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
You use Finder to find stuff. It is what you use to look at where your files are kept and to rename, move or trash them. If you double click on a file in Finder it finds the right software to open it for you.
To open particular files you use the right software for each type. Usually, but not always, the software that made the file.
Pages opens files ending in .pages. Also .txt, .rtf, and doc.
Pages 5 is the latest (but certainly not the greatest) version of Pages. It has trouble opening all sorts of files including the older Pages '09 files but it will still do it.
Unfortunately Apple has chosen for Pages 5 to also save its files as exactly the same file extension .pages despite it being a different format that can not be opened by the older Pages '09.
As we all know Apple is wise and great beyond belief and would not do something that on the face of it looks extraordinarily stupid and shortsighted. Therefore we know that it must be our fault and we are not holding the software right. Because we are bad users, we must be punished, by either having to use Pages 5 or jump through hoops to avoid using Pages 5.
If you have installed Pages 5 any .pages file (old or new) will be opened by Pages 5. If you then save the file, Pages 5 will change the file format. So don't open your files with Pages 5 and don't save them if you do.
To stop Pages 5 opening and resaving your old files, you need to drag it to the trash and empty it.
When it is no longer around to annoy you, you can go back to using Pages 09.

I have FaceTime on my Macbook Pro but want to add it to my Mac Pro v. 10.6.8. Since I've previously purchased it in the app store, it won't allow me to purchase it again. Can I use the same app for both of my computers? If so, how do I access the app to download it?
If you upgrade to Lion it comes bundeled with it!
To get it on your Mac Pro just copy the aplication from the aplication folder on your MacBook. You can do this via a thumb drive or over a local network connection. -

Hello chrispyw,
If your content is still being displayed incorrectly, I would check the resolution setting for the built in display with this article:
OS X Yosemite: Adjust your display’s resolution
If it keeps happening whenever you use AirPlay then I would use this section of the following article to reset the display system:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

My Macbook is not working. i dont know what to do. Please help
hello asterfromscarbourough,
your Macbook Pro should have came with some discs. One for Installing the OSx and the other for applications. You must find these 2 discs to fully install the software on your computer. That is all I can suggest. -
apple new macbook pro dosent have a disk drive. Does the older model have a problem with the disc drive and so is removed in the new model?
No. Apple replaced the disk drive with a solid state drive (SSD) instead. The SSD is faster the old disk drive.

I am having Macbook Pro, I have recently tried updating my operating system to OS Yosemite, but after that its giving problem in connecting to Wifi. The error is "Connection Time out Occurred". Its getting connected by Ethernet cable.
Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Some of these steps are only possible if you have control over the wireless router.
Step 1
Turn Wi-Fi off and back on.
Step 2
Restart the router and the computer. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 3
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 4
Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
Step 5
In OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and fix the issues listed in the Summary, if any.
Step 6
Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 7
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 8
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
Step 9
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC). -
I've unchecked the boxes for apple e-mails (news and iTunes offers) after following the link at the bottom of a marketing e-mail from Apple.
Unfortunately I still get marketing info which I don't want. What else can I do to stop the spam?The e-mail checks out as having come from an IP address registered to Apple.
Received-SPF: pass (mxeu0: domain of insideapple.apple.com designates 17.254.6.124 as permitted sender) client-ip=17.254.6.124; envelope-from=[email protected]; helo=msbadger0204.apple.com;
The sender address wasn't spoofed and all the links in the mail lead to legitimate apple web sites. (It was an advert for a MacBook Air christmas special). There was a link at the bottom of the e-mail which takes me to the Apple 'manage your e-mails' page.
List-Unsubscribe: <http://mynews.apple.com/subscriptions?v=2&la=de_de&.....
On this page there are check boxes for the various Apple news and iTunes marketing e-mails, and the option to change my e-mail address. The boxes are not checked but I still get marketing e-mails.
