My iPod is disabled! I really need someone to help me out.
My iPod keeps saying "Apple ID is disabled" every time I go to update an app or just try buy something. I can't really do anything with it but listen to music. So, I looked how to fix it. I literally have changed EVERYTHING in my Apple ID like the email address and password, just everything and I changed it on my iPod too. I even got mobileme. I'll be honest and say I restored my iPod literally 3 times because people said that worked for them.... didn't work for me at all. I got an email that said my account has been unlocked after I fixed everything and trust me, I was excited because I fixed it so I immediately went to the iTunes store to buy some songs.... I clicked "Buy Now" and what happens? That little "Apple ID is disabled" message pops right back up. I've been going crazy trying to figure out what is wrong. I've been looking it up for days on how to fix it but no luck whatsoever. Please, please, please help me out if you can. I would greatly appreciate it.
You are not alone, there was something going around this morning where Apple disables Apple IDs (mine included). However, after resetting and getting the confirmation email it should begin to work again. Try logging out of your iTunes account (Settings > Store) and then logging back in again.

I really need someone to help me. I have been trying to figure out how to select a PDF document to convert to a Word doc. When I go to select a PDF file, all that shows up is the WORD docs. does not show ANY of my PDF files... Please help me figure out what is going on? We have it set on auto renewal so I know its not that we haven't renewed this subscription, because we pay automatically.
Hi olivias,
It sounds like there may be some confusion on your system about what application should be associated with PDF files. You can reset filename associations by following the steps in these articles (depending on your operating system):

Please let us know if you have additional questions.

I need someone to help me out of this hole please for the love of God!
About a month ago water was spilled onto my MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core Duo. This caused several keys on my keyboard to stick and several other keys to not function and all. To add insult to injury the DVD optical drive now works about one out of every 100 times. To drive the final nail through my brain I have been unable to locate my install disk one.
The problems stems from this.....at some point my admin password was needing to be input which it was. However not noticing the key sticking problem right away the password was somehow reset to a random number of stuck key inputs and punctuation marks. I now no longer have Admin access to my own computer.
The situation is getting desperate. Luckily I do not have to input the password on boot up but I can not add any new programs or upgrade any existing programs as I can not modify the applications folder....not being the admin and all.
I solved the keyboard problem by way of the apple mini bluetooth keyboard and just yesterday I purchased a USB external optical drive. However I have had any luck booting to the install disk (I have since borrowed a friends)
Last night I got close to resetting the password using target mode and another mac but it was sounding like I wasn't quite getting booted into single user mode as when I imput the standard seried of fsck -y and rm /-uaw and the rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone I ended up getting a promt that said something to the effect of override -rw-------uw/0 var/db/.applesetupdone? at which point I was being prompted for a yes or no which I input "Y" for yes and then it just returned and said permission denied.
Now I am back at the attempt again this morning and have another install disk. I can get to the Utilities meny and select any of the tools....."reset password" " or "system profiler" however pretty much every single utility tool I select "Quits unexpectedly" and I am asked to reset and relaunch but I can NOT get them to work.
I refer to Console and I see some error messages saying cryptic things such as....
11/24/09 8:37:57 AM [0x0-0x28028].Reset Password[261] Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

11/24/09 8:46:57 AM [0x0-0x38038].System Profiler[320] dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: __commpagedsmos
I am really at a loss here and if there is anyone out there that can help me out I would be forever greatful.
Thank you.Wow you guys are completely off base about how I am reacting, sorry....I mean now I'm a little upset because you have no idea how frustrating this is for me, I have said over and over how appreciative I am of everyone who has even replied. In reading and re-reading my last post I think it is pretty clear what my intent was with my comment, unless you practice at being a dick. All I was saying is that as the individual tidbits of information were streaming in, progress was being made but no resolution yet, which makes it appear like this is not going to be some easy fix, if all the advice coming in from people who have thousands and posts and obviously much more experience than I do and when that group is all out of ideas,,,,,,I am in deep doo doo. No I didn't mean it like I thought the entire forum was conspiring against me, just making an observation......sheesh lighten up. Just saying if guys were out of ideas I was probably out of luck, sorry to put quotations around the word "experts"....everyone on this board that has had any kind of an idea to try IS and EXPERT compared to me. I mean sorry pal but compared to how I actually feel and in reading my posts many times now, they are pretty complimentary. But again in re-reading these last two.....don't see a lot of advice in there. Anywhoooo..... I took it to the genius bar.....and VOILA they were able to reset my password.......my standard access password........standard as in now I can log in with a password but that is all I can do now I can't modify pretty much any folder. However I CAN now boot into single user mode as I was correct my thinking that the master password was preventing me from booting into single user mode....so I get the proper screen now when I boot to disk and I get the correct utility menu pulldown and run the reset password utility from there and now it doesn't keep quitting however when it should show the actual Hard Drive that I am wanting to apply the reset to....it never shows my hard drive OSX it only shows my Install DVD containing OSX. So anyway, sorry if the grinding of the teeth was beginning to leave dust in my posts I'll be careful not to recklessly "compliment" anymore

Bring your phone to Apple for evaluation. It's not a software issue that you can troubleshoot.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

It sounds like a bit of a mess and what you may need is an onsite PC tech to do some maintenance on your PC.
Also, learning to properly use punctuation (particularly periods) might not be a bad idea. As it is, your post was very hard to read.
Good luck! -

My iPod mini, 4gb is hard to get serviced obviously because they dont make them anymore
It is as simple to get it serviced as the day you purchased it.

How long have you had your iPod?
i get maybe 4-5 hours of battery life, maybe even 6 if im lucky
That is not good but it's not "terrible".
If you've had it less than a year, send it back to Apple to replace the battery.
thought that i might buy an attachment type accesorie that i plug into the usb port on my ipod
It's called a dock connector, not a USB port.
i found a product in the online store, that i guess you place the ipod mini on, and it gives you up to 20 or so more hours of time but then it says that you have to have a firewire port or cable?
What is it? The firewire port is on the computer, not the iPod.
If the original battery is going bad, the first thing to do is get that sorted out. -

hhi guys
my video recording sounds not working at all but it's working for other things such as music. I've tried to clear my sound thing near the earphone hole but had no success can someone please help me out?Had an Iphone 4 for about 3 months now. This happened to the first one I had and they ended up having to replace it at the apple store just a couple weeks ago 6/2. It happened again last night to my new one. This time i was able to correct it by going to itunes, backing up the phone to icloud, and then restoring the software. Mine did not work with voice memo, but did work with headphones plugged in, and would also work on speaker. I could hear callers but they couldn't hear me. I had purchased a new case (lifeproof case at $79.99) because it comes with plugs that cover the headphone jack, and the charging port, and is also waterproof. I heard that the root cause is due to lint, dirt, etc getting inside the headphone jack. Well, must be something else. It's a 10 days old phone, and has been in this overpriced case the whole time, and I have not used the headphones. I hope this doesn't keep happening.
