Problem with AppleID/Authorizing music/prompting me for an old ID no longer in use

I have a 2009 Macbook Pro with a 3.06ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8gb of 1067 Mhz Ram, 320gb 7200 rpm HD running 10.8.2, and an iPhone 4S running 5.1.1.
My issues began last year when I upgraded to the 4S. This was the beginning of iCloud, and the beginning of my nightmare. My phone constantly asked me for AppleID's that didn't belong to me and when I hit cancel, they just kept popping up. When I finally got it to my own AppleID, iCloud never fully worked and ended up screwing up all my contacts and deleting many of them until I finally turned off iCloud in favor of syncing with my computer locally. At the time I was running 10.6.8 on my mac, so I assumed it had something to do with the difference in IOS 5 (which was new) and the pre-Lion software on the computer. I waited to upgrade my mac until Mountain Lion came out recently. I did a clean install, and also did a clean install of 5.1.1 on my iphone to eliminate any issues with compatability (pre ios6). However, the problems continued. My contacts continued to have problems until I had to delete them all off my mac and just use icloud. My emails didn't sync (and still won't). My notes don't always sync. Contacts get deleted and music will no longer sync certain songs.
After dealing with this problem for quite some time, I've exausted all sources of help except the forum. I went to the Apple store, not expecting any help and they didn't suprise me there—the geniuses have been dumbed down since the 00's and the floor people only know new products because they're all hipster fanboys. I called AppleCare. No help there either because 'AppleID's are handled separately' and there's no number you can contact them on. So I emailed iTunes. They came back with the same crap everyone else told me: Deauthorize, then reauthroize the computer. Do they really think that isn't the first thing I tried? I also checked the forum here but couldn't find a similar issue. So, like most issues I have with Apple products today, I resorted to my own knowledge and ability to try and figure it out. I tried this method: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3927039?start=15&tstart=0, but when I deleted the song like it said, I was not able to redownload it. iTunes claimed I never purchased it even though my ID is listed on the song when I hit 'command I' on the song or try to play it.
Basically, iTunes thinks I have multiple ID's. When I was in 4th grade, I made the ID 'raiscool14...', then changed it later to 'reecardoesbueno...', and now to 'r.arnett91...'. I never had problems authorizing my music in the past though, because to my knowledge, each time I changed my ID it overwrote the old one. Apparantly not, because now songs I originally purchased with those older names are asking me for my apple ID and won't let me play them with my current one even though I changed it on the Apple Site. This is what I believe is the heart of the issue causing me the headache with iCloud. When I hit certain songs (about 300/3000), they won't play because they say they were purchase with "reecardoesbueno" or "raiscool14", even though, they should be working under my current ID. And most of the songs do work! So I believe the issue is with Apple, and maybe even with certain special iTunes songs. I noticed many of the "free iTunes song of the week" won't play. I also noted that when you download such songs and try to "complete the album" on the iTunes store, it doesn't recognize that song as being purchased which would indicate to me that it's entered differently in their system, which makes me think that this may also play a factor in my issues.
Also, another issue I had last year (which I don't know if it is related because I can't call iTunes), is that my iTunes account would randomly lock itself out, and then it would force me to change my password. This happened at least 6 times in a 3 month period last year while I was at school. No idea why. I emailed Apple and called AppleCare but they gave me no answer.
Anyways, if anyone can help me with this, please do. I've been an Apple customer since they had iBook's—it's all I've ever known and generally I've been very happy with the quality and service, but I can tell you the way this company has been treating customers for the last 5-10 years is atrocious. The service is, and continues to decline. I remember a time when you didn't even need a genius bar appointment, and the floor people would often try to help you on the spot! Now they're all tied up in beurocratic bulls**t... so annoying when you know that they can do so much better. This company used to be sustained by the customers and it's frustrating to see them turn their backs on the people that were so fervent to keep them going in the past now that they've made a fortune off of us.

    I have a problem with the pop-up prompt to enter my serial number for installation, it won't pop up when I entered the redemption code. Can someone help?

    There is no pop up. There is a window that is part of the installation process. If you entered a wrong number, like a redemption code, you would have wound up installing it as a trial. In that case, go to the Help menu in the editor and look for an option there.
    If that isn't what you're talking about, you really need to explain in more detail.

    I am sorry to say that, but your security makes my life miserable – it’s been 2 months since my Apple ID account got stuck, and since then I cannot update 37 applications (to date), i.e. most of my applications. Half of them I bought. I also paid for iCloud, and it is not working. I paid money and I am stuck with old applications and no iCloud. Your security *****. Your service ***** too. It took your service 1 month to finally understand why this happened to me, and it took me tens of emails to you and 3 hours of telephone conversation to find out the reason for my problem. And the problem is still not fixed. NOT FIXED. You just leave your customer – the one who paid you money and spent so much time with you trying to help you help me – and nothing. You tell me:  “Vitas, Stick your stinky iphone in your *** and enjoy life, we do not care!” *************.
    It is ******* outrageous, and you should know that,  guys. Get into the ******* database and correct the bug. Get someone in the partners-telephone carriers company (it is Orange as carreer and Cellcom as seller of the phone)  authorized to Identify me in personal encounter in one of the branches in Israel (where I live) and make sure it is really me, and get the ******* system accept my password and let me use my phone.
    Otherwise **** off. None of my friends will get my advise to buy an iphone or any of apple products. And I think you should be very attentive to cases like this, guys. Do your work for the money we pay, or disappear. There are many others eager to take your place, and if the problem is not fixed I will eventually go to the others. My patience is lost, and as soon as I can afford another phone I will change it. AND I WILL TRY TO GIVE BAAAAAD PUBLICITY TO APPLE – I am threatening here, so ACT NOW.

    Well, it seems waiting is not my strong suit..! I renamed a javascript file called recovery to sessionstore. This file was in the folder sessionstore-backups I had copied from mozilla 3 days ago, when my tabs were still in place. I replaced the sessionstore in mozilla's default folder with the renamed file and then started mozilla. And the tabs reappeared as they were 3 days ago!
    So there goes the tab problem. But again when I started mozilla the window saying "a script has stopped responding" appeared, this time the script being: chrome//browser/contenttabbrowser.xml2542
    If someone knows how to fix this and make firefox launch normally, please reply! Thank you

  • Very big problem with JSF about FORM and "id=" for HTML form's elements and

    I have discovered a very big problem with JSF about FORM and "id=" for HTML form's elements and java instruction "request.getParameterNames()".
    Suppose you have something like this, to render some datas form a Java Beans :
    <h:dataTable value="#{TablesDb2Bean.myDataDb2ListSelection}" var="current" border="2" width="50%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" style="text-align: center">
    <h:column>
    <f:facet name="header">
    <h:outputText value="Name"/>
    </f:facet>
    <h:outputText id="nameTableDb2" value="#{current.db2_name_table}"/>
    </h:column>
    </h:dataTable>
    Everything works fine...
    Suppose you want to get the name/value pairs for id="nameTableDb2" and #{current.db2_name_table} to process them in a servlet. Here is the HTML generated :
    <td><span <span class="attribute-name">id=<span class="attribute-value">"j_id_jsp_1715189495_22:0:nameTableDb2">my-table-db2-xxxxx</span></td>
    You think you can use the java instructions :
    Enumeration NamesParam = request.getParameterNames();
    while (NomsParam.hasMoreElements()) {
    String NameParam = (String) NamesParam.nextElement();
    out.println("<h4>"++NameParam+ "+</h4>);
    YOU ARE WRONG : request.getParameterNames() wants the syntax *name="nameTableDb2" but JSF must use id="nameTableDb2" for "<h:outputText"... So, you can't process datas in a FORM generated with JSF in a Servlet ! Perhaps I have made an error, but really, I wonder which ?

    While I certainly appreciate ejb's helpful responses, this thread shows up a difference in perspective between how I read the forum and how others do. Author ejb is correct in advising you to stay inside JSF for form processing if form processing is what you want to do.
    However, I detect another aspect to this post which reminds me of something Marc Andreesen once said when he was trying to get Netscape off the ground: "there's no such thing as bad HTML."
    In this case, I interpret ungar's request as a new feature request. Can I phrase it like this?
    "Wouldn't it be nice if I could render my nice form with JSF but, in certain cases, when I REALLY know what I'm doing" just post out to a separate servlet? I know that in this case I'll be missing out on all the nice validation, conversion, l10n, i18n, ajax, portlet and other features provided by JSF".
    If this is the case, because it really misses the point of JSF, we don't allow it, but we do have an issue filed for it
    https://javaserverfaces-spec-public.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=127
    If you can't wait for it to be fixed, you could decorate the FormRenderer to fix what you want.
    I have an example in my JSF book that shows how to do this decoration. http://bit.ly/edburnsjsf2

    If you are in the UK:
    Please upgrade your plan to Web n Walk plus. One of our users on T-Mobile UK had this to report back to us:
    T-Mobile UK are in fact port blocking to ensure fair usage on their base Web and Walk Plan. I have upgraded to Web and Walk Plus and as a result the port blocks are lifted and I get a higher data allowance!
    We were also recently contacted by T-Mobile UK, who stated the following:
    Any smart phone (iphone, android etc) that is bought directly from T-Mobile should be automatically provisioned with Web n Walk plus, if customers have bought a handset sim free then they will need to call customer services and get this added. It is free of charge for most price plans (including new plans) but some older plans will generate a charge of £5pm for this.

  • Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages - what the **** is going on???

    Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages and trying to insert a text box autmatically creates new pages- what the **** is going on??? Is this programme really this badly thought out? I thought everything apple was supposed to be intuitive!?!?!? Help.

    You can not insert a section break into a textbox.
    You appear to have a lot of objects with wrap set, that once you take them out of the flow of text (by sending them to the background) causes the text to reflow and contract into fewer pages. Pages is almost unique in the way it forms up pages in Word Processing mode only so long as there is text on them.
    I suspect you probably have hammered away at returns, spaces and tabs as well to position things, which only works to add to the mess.
    Download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf available under the Help menu and swot up a bit on how it works.
    You may find this a usueful resource as well:

    PS There is quite a lot of programming in OSX that is far from "intuitive". Pages is easy at one level, when using the templates, otherwise it can be quite frustrating.
