My iphone4 had a previous owner, how do I get my apple i.d. to show up? I've been trying to download apps, but the former owners name keeps coming up.

While trying to download free apps, the former owners' apple i.d keeps showing up. I've followed the instructions to create my own apple i.d.-it's in the phone, but it seems that it's not recognized when trying to download. Do I need to clean out everything from the phone and start from scratch?? Thanks...

Yes, you'll need to set up an iTunes library and account, then restore the iPhone from that library. That will erase the iPhone and associate it with your account exclusively.

Trying to download updates on iPad but the incorrect user name keeps coming up. How do I change it without changing my correct user name that works on all other devices?

When trying to download updates on iPad, the user name it is accessing is not correct. All other devices and actions are working correctly with the correct user name. How do I fix this?

Thank you.....to be more precise....the id and password assigned to itunes is correct and works..but....when I hit 'update all' and get the small inset screen to sign iin....it is asking for a password to a different email address. I need it to use the icloud address I always use to puchase from itunes. I don\t know where it found this new email address?

How do I get my apple tv icon to show on my macbook pro. I'm running mavercik

how do I get my apple tv icon to show on my macbook pro. I'm running maverick.

Thanks for the link Diesel. Not quite there yet. Software is all up to date to 6.0.2. Your link suggests I should have second or third gen apple tv. Not sure what generation Apple TV I have. Don't believe its a really early model. I have model MC572LL/A. But it has the latest update, so I would think it would connect. Still no apple tv icon on my macbook pro.

I just upgraded from my 2008 MacBook to a new Macbook Pro. How do I get my time capsule to work on my new MacBook? I did data migration, but the time capsule did not pick it up. Any ideas?

If you migrated all the info from time machine to your new MBP. The TM will usually ask to connect to the old backups.. sorry I am not sure is this what you want to do.. Personally I think you start a fresh backup.
BTW Time Capsule does not do anything.. it is a dumb hard disk in a box.. it is TM that does everything.
Look at B5 and B6 here about connecting to your backup.

How do I get rid of "Your Free Trial Period has ended" Screen when trying to open pdf in the Reader

Hi
How do I get rid of the "Your Free Trial Period has ended" Screen when trying to open a pdf in Adobe Reader?
I had a trial of Dreamweaver but it was too complicated for me.
There was no where to cancell the free trail so I let it run its course and expire. It then deleted the programs which is fine (I didn't want to buy them) but it also deleted my Acrobat Reader.
I have re-installed that but when I try to open a pdf, all I get is the "Your Free Trial Period has ended" screen which only allows you to buy or exit and them exits all together.
Needless to say I am very UNIPRESEED with Adobe for messing up my programs and now they want to charge me $29 dollars to sort out a problem they created.
Can anyone help me to sort out this very anoying problem?
Regards
David

Hi
Thank you for the reply.
No I have not deleted anything, this all happened automatically when the trial period ended.
Other than an old version of Photoshop (version 7, for which I do have a serial number, I don't have any other Adobe software - just the reader which is now not working)
I was trialling Dreamwever but couldn't get started with it so am paying someone else to set up the website using Wordpress.

How do I get multiple Apple Tv's to show up in Airplay?

I have two apple TV's hooked to my network. iTunes is running on an iMac. When I click the AirPlay icon, only one of my ATV's show up.
How do I get both to show?
thanks
David

Hey David,
If you are having an issue with being unable to get multiple AirPlay devices such as your Apple TVs to show up in iTunes I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Happy computing,

I've changed my Apple ID on my Mac but the old Apple ID shows up when I am trying to download apps. How can I get the new Apple ID on my new Iphone and remove the old ID?

I changed my Apple ID on my MacBook. My new Iphone5 seems to have my old Apple ID on it. Therefore I can't download apps. How do I 1) remove the old Apple ID on my Iphone and 2) install the new ID on the phone.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311 Just remember apps that were downloaded with the old Apple ID will be locked to that ID. It will ask for the old ID password when trying to update.

I need help,i changed my primary email,now when i want to buy itunes,the old email name keeps coming up,how do i get the old primary email off of my phone

i changed my primary email,and now when i go to buy itune songs,my old email keeps coming up,how do i get my old email off of the phone

The only thing I did was I went to the Apple.com , logged in and changed my primary e-mail since I will be losing the old email soon ( I have a different job). I said update info and verified the email was correct. I just went to settings on icloud and logged out and tried to log in and now it won't take anything. I don't even know now which e-mail they want the primary one or recovery, it won't take any of the 3. Not sure what else to try at this point, I guess I can't buy any more music.

HT1353 I bought a used bi pod 4th gen. touch but the previous owner id keeps coming up asking for their id how do I change it to mine

I bought a used i pod 4th gen. touch but it still has the Id from the other person how do I change this to my id?

Go to Settings/iTunes and App Store/Apple ID, sign out, restart the iPod and sign in again with your Apple ID.

How can I get rid of Shockwave Player Error message? I'm not trying to play anything, but it pops up whenever I reset my Safari.

I keep getting a message on my Mac saying:
Shockwave Player Error
To view the movie, open your browser in the 32-bit mode.
1) In Safari, select applications/safari in the Finder and click more info
2) Ensure that Open in 32-bit mode is selected
3) Re-launch the browser.
I did this, and selected the open in 32-bit mode but it's still giving me this message.
Interestingly, it does this every time I reset my Safari (which I do upon closing Safari), UNLESS I unclick the "Remove all website data" item box - then I don't get this weird shockwave player error message.
I would like to know either how to get rid of the error message (stop it from popping up) or how to download/install shockwave in case I need it.

I am having this issue whenever I go to Safari privacy preferences tab it pops up this same error window repeatedly, over and over, even if I don't acknowledge the first one... it just keeps adding the error window one on top of the other. (a little offset like opening multiple browser windows).
If I switch to a different application it may even keep popping them up keeping them on top all the time.
I navigated to Library/Internet Plug-ins and there was nothing in it.
