  • I have 2 accounts in my family and would like to purchase some of the same songs for both accounts, however when I try to purchase a duplicate song from the second account the song says play instead of purchase. How can I get some of the same songs?

    I bought a 3G and a 4G in Australia while working there for 3.5 years. I have since returned permanently to the USA and would like to use one of these, understanding the GSM requires using AT&T? When in Australia, I took these iphones to the Apple Store and they unlocked the 3G for me, knowing that I would be using it in the USA - but when I took it into the AT&T store in California, the iphone would not work with AT&T's SIM card.    May I unlock the 3G and/or 4G somewhere in the USA with Apple's blessing?

    If your phones were unlocked by your carrier, they should work with AT&T SIM cards.  You'll have to sign up for an iPhone phone and data plan with AT&T, but the SIM should definitely work.  Go to an AT&T store and have them set up your account and activate your SIM there.
    AT&T will NOT be able to unlock your Australia-purchased phones.

  • Hi, I am bringing my verizon iPad air to Brazil later this month and would like to access cellular data. How do I do that? Thanks in advance.

    Hi I am bringing my verizon iPad air to Brazil later this month and would like to access cellular data. How do I do that? I understand there is something about swapping or disabling sim cards, but I am a little unclear and verizon was no help. Thanks for your help in advance.

    You must have Verizon unlock the device from their service. In Brazil you will have to find a compatible provider and use their SIM in place of Verizon's SIM

    Isn't Picture Motion Browser available for Windows only?  If so, why are you posting in an Final Cut Express forum?  My apologies if I'm incorrect.

  • I did a mistake in the password and would like to modify my password, how to do it?

    Assuming you know the current (mistaken) passcode, go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock.  The iPod  will ask you to enter the current passcode.  When you do, you will see a button to enter new passcode.

  • I have created a .m4v file from iPhoto and would like to share it with someone else knowing that the file is quiet large (86 Mo), i used to share file with mobileme, how Can I do that with iCloud ? or another way....

    In iphoto, I have create a diaporama which I exported to itunes as a m4v file. I would like to share this file with someone but it is too big to send it via email (84 Mo). This file is now in my films in itunes. Is there a way to share it via icloud.
    I used to share files using mobileme which I cannot use anymore.
    Thanks for your help,

    How recently did you switch?  If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account.  The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices.  I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices... 

  • HT201272 I have purchased 17 books from iTunes in the past 6 years and I can't locate them in my purchased items. They show up in my purchase history but I lost one of the books and would like to download it again. Help!!!!

    In the past 6 years I have purchased many books from iTunes. I lost one of them and would like to download it again, however it is not showing up in my purchased screen. All of my music, movies, and shows are showing but none of my books. They do show up in my purchase history, how can I get them back? Help!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    So far as I am aware, books haven't been available for 6 years, so I'm wondering if you mean audiobooks.
    Audiobooks are not currently part of the content that can be re-downloaded.

  • How To Restric all kind of access to 2 specific tables in SQL Server for all Users.Instead of table we would like users to go through View.

    Hi All,
    I am looking at an Technical solution for Restricting the direct access some specific tables in my data base  to all the users(Except admins and few Service accounts). However views created on top of these tables would be exposed to all Users.
    Could any one help me with the best solution.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,

    Hello,
    You can try to create a new role "Client_User" in the database and deny access to the new role on the specify tables. And then add all user which you want to restricting the direct access the specific tables to the database role.
    For example:
    Use Database
    CREATE ROLE [Client_User] AUTHORIZATION db_securityadmin;
    DENY SELECT ON OBJECT::schema.table TO [Client_User] ;
    EXEC sp_addrolemember 'Client_User', 'username';

  • I have my itunes library on my desktop pc.  I'm traveling for the summer and would like to have all the content on my laptop as well.  What is the fastest way to do this?

    I downloaded itunes on my new laptop, but I cannot seem to find any of my content (music, movies, books...).  I would like for my itunes library to be available on both computers (desktop pc and laptop pc).  IS THIS POSSIBLE???
    I've tried homesharing, but nothing shows up.  Also, I'm assuming once I leave home with the laptop, the content wouldn't be available. 
    There is probably a simple solution but I can't seem to figure it out in a crunch...Please help!

    Works fine in Windows - copy your entire iTunes library to an external USB drive, plug this into your laptop, start iTunes while holding down the shift key and then select the iTunes library on the external drive.  Alternatively you can can repeat the copy process from the external drive to your laptop.  Once you have the duplicated libraries Microsoft's SyncToy tool does a good job of keeping the content of the different libraries in sync.  You can also copy over a network but unless your library is small this can be very slow.  I've used this method for years so that I can have the same library content at home (master), at work, and on the road.  One point to note is that this only works if you set iTunes (via Edit > Preferences > Advanced) to keep iTunes media folder organized and copy files to iTunes folder.  Other thing is to make sure you exit from iTunes before copying/synchronizing the library, as otherwise the iTunes library files (.itl and .xml in Windows) may be inconsistent with content (everything in iTunes\iTunes Media).

  • I have bought a TC to extend the range of the wireless network in the house and would like someone to explain the best way to do this? My combine router/modem is supplied by Movistar(in Spain) model Xavi 7958 router ADSL with four ethernet ports.

    What is the best way to extend my wireless network in the house using a TC? I currently use a combined router/modem supplied by Movistar(live in Spain) model XAVI 7958 router ADSL with four ethernet ports. What is the best configuration and can you explain what is meant by bridging and which is best to bridge for signal strenght TC or Xavi modem/router? Have ipads, iphones, apple tv...etc and want a connection them all in the whole house which, not just downstairs, to our wireless network.

    You cannot wireless bridge Apple to non-apple router.. so that is out.
    The only way you can do this is run ethernet or EOP adapters.. and place the TC in a location where the other apple idevices can reach it.
    If you want to repeat wireless with apple routers you have to use another apple router next to the modem.. plugged in an running as an AP.
    Basically the TC is the wrong piece of equipment unless you want Time Machine backups.. take it back and buy a universal repeater.. not apple. Or buy more apple stuff like an extreme or express.. one apple router is useless to you without running ethernet.

  • My husband and I share an itunes account and would like to share SOME music with our kid as well but NOT all, can we do that on the same account?

    Or do we have to set up a seperate account for her?  I would like to be able to share 'certain' songs with her but restrict others without having to 'check' and 'uncheck' songs individually every time we try to synch.  Is there a way to do this or not?  Also, FYI she has not synched to our library at ALL just yet since I am trying to figure out a way for this to work easily, and for her to be able to purchase songs with her gift card....but my husband and I do not want those songs to synch to our ipod.  Only the songs that we are going to purchase.  Does that make sense??:)
    THANKS!!

    Okay, so I just got around to 'trying' to create and Apple ID for my daughter for her ipod as suggested above BUT I accidentally used her b-day and of course she is not old enough!!!  So then I got off the internet etc and tried to create an apple ID for her using my b-day and it still would NOT let me, saying that I do not meet the minimum age reqirements!:(  I am SO frusterated right now...it is not like I was going to let her have any control over what she purchases anyways, seeing as how she is 7yr. and we are generally strict about what she listens to.  Is there any way that I can do this for her?
    Thanks!

  • I have lost an email. It has something to do with threads. I have not read the email and would like to get it back and continue receiving emails from the sender

    Please excuse me if you have already received this query. I have lost an email which I clicked on quickly to see what it was about and intended coming back to read it later. It disappeared from my inbox and a caption related to the email appeared at the bottom of my subsequent emails. I have been unable to find the original email. Could you please advise if it is possible to retrieve it and if so how it may be done. Thank you

    Hello Mogulman46,
    So what that means is when you have Do Not Disturb turned on, you may have an alert depending on the setting and how you are using your iPhone. So if it is set to Always, then that means that no matter what, your iPhone will not be notified. If it set to Only while the iPhone is locked, then that means that you will not get notification when your iPhone is locked but you will get notifications if your iPhone is being used. Also keep in mind the settings All Calls From can be set to certain contacts like Favorites, Everyone or no one. If you are using Do Not Disturb and you do not need it, then turn it off. 
    Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  • HT204370 I have been away for a while and have returned to itunes. I paid for a movies, James Camerons Avitar and would like to se it again , but cannot find it as the web page has changed

    I nneed to restore a Movies that I paid for on Itunes
    It's James Camerons " Avitar  ""
    How to you finf your downloads with this new )to me) web Page

    You don't find it on here, if the film is still in your country's iTunes store and if you are in a country where films can be redownloaded (and if the studio allows redownloading) then you should be able to redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes
    If you can't redownload it then have you got a copy of it on your backup of your downloads ?
