  • Daughter has used iPad for her Apple account and I can't use the App store because her username automatically shows up in the Apple ID window.  How do I change that?

    My daughter has used our iPad for her Apple account and now I can't use the App store because her username automatically shows up in the Apple ID window.  How do I change that so I can put our Apple ID in with the appropriate Password?

    Open Settings -> Store
    Tap on the Apple ID shown and sign out. Then sign in with your own Apple ID.

  • When my mother tries to phone somebody from her iPhone 4, instead of her number 'Anonymus' shows up on the other phone.

    When my mother tries to phone somebody from her iPhone 4, instead of her number 'Anonymus' shows up on the other phone. How can I fix this? Thanks for any kind of help in advance!

    My iPhone doesn't have the Settings > Phone > Show Caller ID mentioned above so that may be carrier specific as well.
    CDMA networks (Verizon, Sprint) don't support this setting and isn't present on CDMA phones.  Virtually all GSM carriers support it.

  • What? How do I dowload the "latest ipod mini update"?

    Hello. I have an Ipod Mini (2nd Generagation 4GB). I had put it away a few years ago when trying to reformat it. It had been on Mac, and I was switching to Wondows. I had trouble downloading itunes for some reason. I dont think i was on dialup, but I had problems and just quit trying in frustration. I plugged it in to charge a few hours ago. The screen was blank. I googled and looked through forums at how to boot it up. I couldnt remember. Well, after just under 2 hours of charging at the wall, I connected via USB to my PC, and it doesn't even get recognized. My PC just says it's searching. I tried to hold the MENU & SELECT buttons for the suggested time until th Apple logo comes up. Nope. Nothing doing. Nothing comes up. I keep trying.
    I found the Apple Support info that is dated 2004, where it tells me to go to the Apple Support slash Ipod, to download the latest Ipod Mini software. What is that? There isn't such a thing. I can't even find a mention of it anywhere on the internet. This support manual info on Apple tells me I need to do this to be able to rest my Mini.
    I should be able to see the Mini pop in my iTunes, if I open it, if I have it connected via USB. But I don't.
    Maybe there is a battery inside the Mini that won't charge? Should I take it apart to look? So far, no Apple logo no matter what I try. Nothing on the screen at all to show a battery charging or anything.
    If I take it apart, what should I look for? I'd like to take it apart to see. I couldn't find any YouTube videos on that either.
    What would you try?
    Thanks.

    I know, I really REALLY wish that firefox would keep the security and cosmetic updates SEPARATE!

  • Installing the latest ipod updater

    I have installed the latest ipod updater (10/25/2005 version) in my computer. However I don't know how to transfer it to my ipod mini. Called the Apple hotline but they said I won't get the answer from them unless I purchase the Apple Care. Can anyone help me out please?

    Make sure you downloaded the windows version, and just run the application. It will determine if you need to update your iPod or not.

  • I just bought the latest ipod shuffle to use with another older one. But when I tried to download updates and charge the new shuffle it is nowhere to be found. The new download is not recognized

    I just bought the latest ipod shuffle and want to put my library songs on it. Why when I tried to install the latest version of i-tunes nothing happened. My new pod is connected to my laptop USB 2.0 port but it is nowhere to be found. Why is this new shuffle pod not recognized?

    You downloaded iTunes AND installed it, right?  What you downloaded is the installer, which installs the iTunes app (and other things like drivers) on your computer.  You then have to run the iTunes app.
    If you did that already, make sure the USB docking cable's plug is completely inserted into the shuffle's headphones jack, as shown in this document
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3572
    When connected, the shuffle's light should come ON.  That indicates it is getting power.  If it blinks orange (at least initially), that indicates it is connecting for data.
    If you are good so far, in iTunes, the sidebar (along left side of window) may be hidden.  If it is, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  When the shuffle is connected, it should be listed in the sidebar, below DEVICES. Does it appear there?

  • Does anyone know when do the latest iPod Touch ship out in the US?

    I pre-ordered the latest iPod touch (blue) and it's been close to a month now. Still no word from Apple on when they're going to release it for shipping here in the US. Does anyone know when in October is it going to be released?

    I know the pain of waiting. I waited 2 months for a liquid-cooled PowerMac G5 after they were introduced. They had issues with leaks.
    I read there are quality control issues with the new iPhone 5. Some new units out of the box have nick and scratches in them. They are probably trying to rectify that for iPods too, and that may be slowing production.

  • After installing the latest ipod update some of my purchased songs no longer play

    After installing the latest ipod update some of my purchased songs no longer play (though they still play on the computer).  When I tested it on another computer it claimed that computer was not authroied to play these songs even though I was just playing them directly off the ipod.  Even more strange is that I alos have a number of songs loaded on my itunes from albums I loaded and I am fairly sure these songs were ones I recorded rather than purchased but now they appear on my purchased list.

    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.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - 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.
