My Apple ID is my Yahoo email address My Yahoo email is now corrupted by the latest virus. Do I need to change my Apple ID to say, gmail, instead of Yahoo?  If I do change Apple ID, what are the consequences - do I lose apps etc? Thanks

Wondering if it is necessary to change Apple ID if my yahoo emails are infected by virus? If I do change it what happens to all apps  etc previously purchase ors acquired using the old Apple ID?

An e-mail account cannot be "infected." I'm guessing that you are seeing that it is sending out e-mail containing malware of some kind... if that's the case, that just means that either someone is faking your address in e-mail being sent from somewhere else, or your e-mail address has been hacked and is being used to send malware spam. Either way, it would be prudent to change the password on your Yahoo address, as well as any other online accounts that might be associated with, or that use the same password as, that Yahoo address.
As to the question regarding Apple IDs... all your app purchases are linked to your Apple ID, so if you abandon your current Apple ID, you lose all those apps. You would have to re-purchase them on the new Apple ID. So this isn't really a good solution, and isn't necessary in this case.

  • Apple TV: what are the specific settings I should adjust to?

    Hi, there
    I really need your help now. I use a DVD ripper to rip DVD to MP4 for Apple TV. I am trying to achieve quality that is close to a movie (m4v) from iTunes. What are the best settings to get this type of quality? I am not concerned with output file size, and I just want to get the very best quality I can. If so, what are the specific settings I should adjust to? The program I am using allows me to adjust video and audio parameters as below:
    Video parameters:
    Codec: h.264
    Resolution: 1280*720
    Bit rate: ??? (it is said Up to 5 Mbps, but what is the specific bit rate?)
    Frame rate: 24 fps
    Audio parameters:
    Codec: aac
    Sample rate: ???
    Bit rate: ??? it is said 16 to 320 Kbps, but what’s the specific figure?
    Audio channel: mono, stereo and 5.1 channel, which one should I choose?
    Following are the tech specifications I copied from Apple’s official website:
    Video formats supported
    H.264 and protected H.264 (from iTunes Store): Up to 5 Mbps, Progressive Main Profile (CAVLC) with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 1280 by 720 pixels at 24 fps, 960 by 540 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    iTunes Store purchased video: 320 by 240 pixels, 640 by 480 pixels, 720 by 480 pixels (anamorphic), or high-definition 720p
    MPEG-4: Up to 3 Mbps, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 720 by 432 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    Audio formats supported
    AAC (16 to 320 Kbps); protected AAC (from iTunes Store); MP3 (16 to 320 Kbps); MP3 VBR; Apple Lossless; AIFF; WAV; Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound pass-through
    And I have selected some parameters according to this, please see the above contents, but there is no info about specific video/audio bit rate, audio sample rate, and audio channel. I just wanna know if I want to watch the movie on my 1920×1080 TV, what are the specific settings I should adjust to?
    Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Well, then how about playback Apple TV uncompatible video files? I have some other video files(such as avi, mkv,not DVD), and I also have a video converter, i know i can convert them to m4v, mp4, or mov that supported by ATV,but the thing is that i still don't know the best specific settings for conversion. Any suggestion? Many thanks for your kind reply.

  • An Entire cup of coffee was spilled on the side of my MacBook Pro, it was in my purse, port side up. They were filled. I'm assuming the board or whatever is fried. If I go to apple tomorrow, what are the odds that my hard drive will be salvageable?

    I'm usually good at backing up my photos and documents, but the last 2 months of pictures and videos are on there and not backed up anywhere. I'm heartbroken.

    "What are the odds that my hard drive will be salvageable?"
    Very very good, it's all sealed and only a large electrical surge or dropping it while running could do some damage.
    Take it and use a SATA to USB adapter you can get online for $12-$40 and hook it right up to the new Mac and use Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant to transfer files.
    OR you can access the drive directly and on a PC with MacDrive installed.
    However the Mac itself is likley a goner.

    I used to be able to email photos from my Lightroom software 5.7 for MAC quite successfully. I needed to change my password several days ago in my gmail account. Now when I try to email photos I receive a message saying "Failed to establish connection with the outgoing email server. Please make sure you have entered the email account and password correctly."
    I have been trying to get help from Adobe for 3 days. I have sent a message through "Get Support", 2 days ago, but no one has contacted me. I have tried by phone, but no one will help me. When I purchased Lightroom in May, 2014, I was able to receive phone help. I am now told that I don't qualify because I am not a Creative Cloud customer.   I have been assigned a case number  186291729.
    PLEASE HELP ME FIX THIS PROBLEM

    I, too, have this problem. I see no one is responding with a solution? Hello? Can someone please advise?
    Oh, and, yes, I have manually verified repeatedly that the information I gave to Lightroom is correct, and I still get the same error message when I try to validate.

  • HEY APPLE! What are upgrade policy plans for new systems shipping with 10.4

    I just ordered a brand new Xserver, thinking that there would be some policy in place for brand new computers shipping with 10.4, to get the new version of OSX Leopard Server (without having to buy a retail copy) - however to my surprise, there is nothing currently in place.
    Will there be an upgrade policy soon for users who have just ordered new computers, currently shipping with 10.4??? Or should we return recently ordered items, and stop ordering new systems until they start shipping with 10.5?

    Assumptions such as this one are often a recipe for disappointment and/or for extra expenses; I've certainly learned to be cautious with these.
    In this case, there is a policy that has been in place (AFAIK) since the Leopard announcement.
    For details on and requirements of the Leopard upgrade policy, do read the [Mac OS X Up To Date|http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate> web site.
    Those folks outside the Leopard upgrade window that are upgrading to Leopard (and that don't have a separately-purchased Right-to-Upgrade) will be purchasing and ordering the upgrade. You may end up purchasing an iLife upgrade, too — if you're using it, and not already at the current release — as Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server upgrades apparently do not include an iLife upgrade.

  • Change Individual Material - What are the required parameters?

    All,
    I've just started using ES Workplace to test out some of the packaged SAP services.  I've been able to successfully use the "Find Material Basic Data by Elements" service to search for materials.  But now I'm having trouble with the "Change Individual Material" service and getting it to do anything.  Specifically, I can invoke the service from WS Navigator and it says that it executed successfully but the fields that I was attempting to chagne are not changed on the material. 
    So, I have two questions:
    1.) Where is the documentation for each service which defines which fields are reqruied for the service method to execute successfully?  I don't see it anywhere.
    2.) For this service in particular, what fields are required for the service to execute?  Say, for example, that I want to change the volume of a material.  Which fields need to be populated?

    I can see some sample test data is also given there, please see link posted in previous post (but for ERP).
    Regarding your question about so many fields required to update certain data then please remember these services are created to be very generic so you pass lot of data which you may not want to update but only change field which you want to update and it should work.
    Same service you can use to update different attributes of Individual Material.
    One more thing, you are reading data using material service and trying to update individual material, is it correct? i thought they are two different thing.

    Gourav

  • I need to change where iTunes receipts are being sent

    I currently have my Apple ID and Primary email address as @gmail.com. My alternate email addresses are @me.com and @icloud.com. I am moving all of my mail over to the latter and can't figure out how to change where my itunes receipts are being sent (@gmail.com presently). Can someone please point out the obvious because it's making me crazy searching.

    Receipts will be sent to whatever you have as your primary email address for your Apple ID. You can change that via Manage your Apple ID here:

  • Dropped ipad. Now the screen is fuzzy but apps etc can be opened but are in decipherable

    Dropped ipad 2 Now screen is all fuzzy but apps can be vaguely seen and can be open but nothing is decipherable.

    There are a couple of long threads here regarding doing the slap but as far as I know this is only works when you get a red background or large red line on the screen. It is due to a loose connection and you have to be cautious after that but reading the threads it actually works and I've not seen any posts where it has broken again.
    For the OP it is worth the shot but don't have high hopes. Tim's advice to get it serviced is best in your case. Unless you left out the red background.
