My apple ID is constantly being locked when using my iPhone4

In the past month or two, my apple ID has been locked every single time ive tried to download anything from the app store. I have to go in, reset it via email, then verify my billing information. EVERY TIME..... I keep changing my password. What the **** is going on!?!?!

I believe that you will have to enter a credit card now anyway, even if you want to download free apps. There is a very specific way in which an iTunes account has to be created if you don't want to use a credit card.
Create iTunes Store account without credit card - Support - Apple
You don't have to use the credit card after you fully set up the account and get it to work, Apple will put a $1 hold on the account that is used only to verify that the card is valid. The charge will be removed.
After you enter the credit card you should be able to delete it and select None by changing your payment information.
Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID
Tap your ID
Tap View Apple ID
Enter your password
Go to Payment Information in the popup window to make changes
Select None.

Locking when using a component as an object in the application scope...

I have a component that I am building right now that hold
application settings that are stored in a database table. The
settings are maintained in a structure "variables.settings" within
the component and can only be accessed by get and set methods. I
use the following to create the instance of the object:
<cfset application.settings =
createObject("settings","component").init() />
Now when getting a setting I do not think locking is needed
as its just reading the value and I am not really concerned with a
race condition...
But when using the set method which will update the value of
the setting.... should I be locking that as technically the object
is in a shared variable scope? Or is it safe because its within the
cfc/object?
If locking is needed, would I need to lock when using the set
method? or can I just build the lock into the set method so that
its always there?

To disagree with craigkaminsky, I think you only need to lock
if you are
concerned about race conditions and what could happen during
a 'dirty
read' and|or conflicting writes.
A lot of developers have an old impression of ColdFusion that
one *must*
lock all shared scope variable access to maintain a stable
application.
This dates from the ColdFusion 4.5 days where there where
bugs in
ColdFusion that could cause memory leaks and eventual
application
instability if one did not lock shared scope reads and
writes. This has
long been fixed, but the advice persists.
So now it is only a matter of your data and what would happen
if one
user read an old value while it was in the process of being
updated by
another user. Or could two users be updating the same value
at the same
time and cause conflict. If either of those two statements
are true,
then yes you should use locking as required by your
application.
But if they are both false and it does not matter that user A
might get
the old value microseconds before user B changes it. Or there
is no
concern with user A changing it once and user B changing it
again to
something different moments later without knowing the user A
has already
changed it. Then locking is probably unnecessary.
There can be a cost to over locking shared variable writes
and|or reads.
Every time one creates a lock, one is single threading some
portion of
ones code. Depending on how the locking is done, this single
threading
may only apply to individual users or it may apply to every
single user
on the entire server. Either way, too much of this in the
wrong places
can create a significant bottle necks in ones application if
too many
user requests start piling up waiting for their turn through
the locked
block of code.

Shutter locks when using the camera in AV mode.

EOS Rebel T3i - Shutter locks when using the camera in AV mode. It actually freezes up when in this mode...no it's not just allowing more light in through the shutter but rather locking in the open position. How can I resolve this? Thank you.

Does it do this in bright sunlight at the lowest f/number?
How do you know the shutter is locked open?
Does it do this on multiple lenses?
How long does the phenomenon last, and how do you stop it?
Do you end up with an image? Is it totally overexposed and motion blurred?
Positive it is not mirror lockup?

Hide passcode lock when using projector

Is it possible to hide the passcode lock when using a projector? I'm a teacher so when my ipad locks and I want to unlock it the whole class can see my passcode unless I unplug it first!
Thanks

Many projectors have a button or option to 'black' the screen, which keeps the projector on, just in some way doesn't show any light, making it easy to show something else on the same screen. See if yours has the option, and if so, press it, put your code in, then press it again.

I downloaded an upgrade but when I try to put it in the applications, it says the file is locked. when I unlock it, it still doesn't let me drag it, and reverts back to being locked when I close the window. I am using Mac Lion.

I opened Firefox this morning and it told me I needed to download a newer version. I downloaded the new version. I got the image prompting me to drag Firefox to the applications folder. When I do that, it asks if I want to replace the old Firefox, I click 'yes' and enter my password. It tells me the file is locked. I open 'get info', unlock the file and enter my password. It claims I have read and write access privileges. I then try again to drag Firefox to the applications folder - it says the same thing about the file being locked. I check again under 'get info', and Firefox has reverted to being locked again. I unlock it again and without closing that window, i.e. when it is still showing unlocked, I try again to drag it. Same message.
Now I can't use Firefox at all because it has corrupted the old version I was using and I am unable to download the new one.
I am using Mac OS 10.7.2, Lion, on a MacBook Pro.

What exactly is the error you get?
How are you attempting this copy?
There's almost certainly a way to accomplish what you want to do (probably best from the terminal possibly copying the entire user dir and fixing up permissions, etc.) but I'm not sure you will end up with the results you want. There are plists in the preferences dir that you probably don't want to copy over (e.g., many of the com.apple.* prefererences). And many apps also create more than just plists. There may be stuff in Application Support, LaunchAgents, Internet Plug-Ins, etc.). And this would be stuff you do want to copy. Bottom line is it is not a trivial exercise which is probably why the system is slapping your hands for even attempting it

Crash/lock when use special symbol palette in iDVD 6

I tried to use the special symbol palette to try to insert special language characters in the comments on a picture in a slide show. On choosing special symbols from the menu line (Edit) all seemed to be fine until I tried to choose another category of symbol from the palette.
At that point the symbol palette goes blank or only part of the information is visible and I can not close or move it. Often iDVD also locks and I have to force the application to quit.
After that, the blank symbol palette keeps popping open (then closing) when working with other applications. Cold restarts do not cure the problem. Only solution I have found to stop the annoying pop up of the palette is to delete the file in user preference (com.apple.CharPaletteServer.plist)
I try to do the same operation again with the same results. Do not know if this is a new problem or long standing since I had never used the palette before with iDVD. I can clear the created problem with the hanging palette, but the palette is esentially unusable. Character palette seems to be ok when using it from the international keyboard menu.
(The reason to try to use the palette was I could not paste names in a language that do not use Mac's standard diacriticals. Why is there no font menu choice or ability to paste a name from another application that has font menus?)

Wow-totally missed that-sorry. I guess i assumed that you didn't do that because that is about the only thing that I know of to fix it.
I guess you could try Validating fonts

I'm out of ideas...but, I am certain that others will show up that have other ideas though.

Releasing locks when using "Navigate Pushbutton" in Web Interface Builder

Hi
I am creating a basic BPS application in Web Interface Builder for manual data entry into a Cube.
I have a requirement for a user to navigate away from the data entry screen to a "Start Screen". To do this, I am using the "Navigate Pushbutton" component.
When the user navigates away from the data entry screen, I want the locks to be released. I have attempted to do this using the "End Command" attribute of the Navigate Pushbutton to "True". According to the Help for this attribute, the following should happen:
" When this property has the value TRUE, the page context will be lost when you press the pushbutton (and all locks are deleted)."
However, when I look at the locks in SM12, I can see that the locks remain, even after the user has clicked on the Navigate Button.
Therefore, it would appear that the "End Command" attribute does not release the locks when it is set to True.
(By the way, I have also tried setting it to false, but the same issue occurs).
Has anyone got any advice on how I can solve this?
(We are running BW 3.1).
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Hi,
You are correct this is standard functionality that should work. Please post the solution proposed by SAP.

XControl always locked when used in class -- possible bug?

Hi,
This is not dissimilar to this question. However, I think that the issue is slightly different and possibly a bug. If do the following:
create a project,
create an XControl,
create a class,
add an instance of the XControl to a class method
you should see that the XControl is locked all of the time. This only occurs when the XControl is used with a class. If the XControl is placed on a VI, in a project library or not, the XControl will only be locked when the VI which is using it is open (i.e., in memory and the XControl is running).
This may be expected behaviour due to the way classes are loaded; however, as a user I find it unexpected -- is it a bug?
Regards,
Steve.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Unlike normal libraries (.lvlib), classes always load all their member VIs into memory when the class is loaded into memory. So if one of those VIs uses an XControl, then it will become locked as soon as you load the owning class into memory, even if the VI is not open. You might be able to get around this by right-clicking the XControl in the project and selecting "Unlock Library for Editing". This will temporarily break any VIs that call the XControl until you are done editing it.

Apple TV3 turns off and on when using remote, already reset and restarted.

Apple TV just started acting up yesterday. When using remote, light on Apple TV would turn off and on so it would somewhat work when the light was on and would not when light when off. When light is off and in a menu selection, cursor would just move to the end of the list and stop. Already restored back to factory and reset it. Difficult to program after reset when remote only works part of the time when the light goes on so stuck in out of the box condition. Any help on this? Thanks!

Hello stiktani,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning Apple TV remote issues:

Apple TV loses wireless network connection when using AirPlay from iPad or iPhone 5

Our Apple TV loses connectivity to our wireless network while using Airplay from our iPad or iPhone 5. This started occurring after the latest iOS update. We are able to wirelessly stream movies from iTunes without any problem. This issue occurs only when using AirPlay. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have a:
new MBPr 15" late 2013 with dedicated graphics card
new airport extreme base station
3rd generation apple tv
iPhone 5s
200mb download speed (not important, as streaming video on your local network has nothing todo with outside bandwidth)
All equipment is up to date software wise. Airplay mirroring from my laptop to my apple tv is ok. I get frequent lag, pixelation, audio skip (every 10 mins or so).
I'm using the 5ghz specturm to connect to the airport express so shouldn't have any inteference from my neibours (accordiing to iStumbler i'm the only person with a 5ghz setup using channel 30). I've tried connecting apple tv wirelessly and wired. No issues streaming from my iPhone or an iPad!
Surprisingly, using apps such as Beemer or Air Video Server on my MBP work better than native mirroring when it comes to video play back.
Strange when you think how Air Video works:
Video file lives on MBP
iPhone connects to laptop
Video plays on iPhone and is sent to Apple TV via Air Mirroring
Rather than:
Video played on laptop
Video sent to Apple TV
Seems bizzare that my iPhone can handle better streaming than my pro laptop.

IPads not being recognized when using apple configurator software

I have an iPad cart with 25 iPad's. I am using a MacBook Air and the apple configurator software to try to manage the iPad's. The problem is, only 21 of the 25 iPads will show up in the apple configurator "prepare" section. All of the iPads are not being recognized. When I use a MacBook Pro all 25 iPad's will show. So the problem seems to be with the MacBook Air and/or Apple Configurator. Any suggestions? We have 30 carts total with some having up to 30 iPads so I am trying to find a fix for this.

This seems to be an issue related to the new 2013 MacBook Air models. I've seen it pop up a few times now, and the common factor is always a 2013 MacBook Air.
A "solution" doesn't seem to exist yet. The workaround at this point would be to either use any older Mac to do the syncing, or only connect and sync half of the devices at a time.

Lower 3rd effect on v2 track constantly being trimmed when editing

I notice when I'm editing, for some reason, the lower 3rd effect on the v2 track gets trimmed just a bit at the beginning and end of a clip on the v1 track without me doing it. I'm constantly having to adjust these. Anyone ever run into this? Is there a fix? Thanks.
<Edited by Moderator>

I can't see anything inherently wrong with your methodology. Maybe as a test, put the title on V1, and the speaker on V2. Then cut out the speaker when you want the slide to show. Sort of reverse the process.

How do I prevent the Lion boot partition from being reformatted when using boot camp?

Under Windows 7, Computer Mgt, I shrink the C drive to create another drive. When I right click on the unused drive to format it, 200MB Lion boot is formatted and assigned a drive letter F. But I did not tell Windows 7 Computer Management to do that. I clicked on the unused 170GB space to create it as F, I did not click on the 200MB Lion boot partition at the front of the list.
Now I have to take the computer back to the Apple store to reinstall Lion for me.
I tried this twice and it happened twice. So now I need to go back to the Apple store a second time for help on the same problem.
Would the 200MB Lion boot disk at the front be safe from reformatting if I first made it drive letter F, and then made the new drive letter H at the right side of the drive list in Computer Management? Also, there is an unlettered drive between the Lion drive E and the Windows 7 drive C. Should I make that G prior to formatting drive H?
By the way, I did this on another MacBook pro that was using Snow Leopard, following the same procedure, and had no problems. So could a different version of Boot Camp be the issue?

I just found an older question similar to this one that you also replied to. It was from 2012 and never solved. The only things I am using in my set up is a male quarter inch cable from my guitar to my interface, a USB cable from my interface to my computer, and headphones from my interface to my ears of course. Just like in the other question I found I have everything in the Audio MIDI Setup of the computer set to use the interface as input and output and I also have everything in garage band setup to use the interface as audio input and output. Any new track is recording the metronome and any old track that is being played in the headphones. No external speakers are being used for monitoring and no microphones are being used.
