If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account, then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

Questions about the ipod camera connector...

Hi,
i got some questions about the ipod camera connector.
1)Is the camera connector compatible with the Sony camera DSC-P93A ?
In fact, this camera got PTP protocol.
PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) Oui
Marque PIM (Print Image Matching) Oui
PictBridge™ Oui
So, do the camera need to have the three following protocols to be compatible with the camera connector ?
=>Mass Storage, PTP, and Type 4
Or maybe does it need only one of it??
2) Is it compatible with a USB memory card reader?
Thank you

Wel, if i've right understood what you said, my camera is compatible because it got PTP protocol ?
That's weird, cause i wrote a mail to sony to ask them about the compatibility of my camera, but they answered that it wasn't. But of course, i'll prefer to believe you than them !

Hi, my name's Michael and I had a question about my iPod touch. I recently dropped it but I still have a warranty and Apple Support said they couldn't fix that my screen doesn't recognize my finger is on there trying to do anything?

Hi, my iPod touch was recently dropped but afterwards I called Apple Support and they told me I have a 17 day warranty for my Apple iPod Touch, so then I asked them if I could send it in to get fixed but what had happened to my iPod was that when I click the home button and try to ''Slide to Unlock" it doesn't recognize that I'm trying to do anything else the only thing that I can do is press the "Sleep" and "Home" Buttons and nothing else. Anything you can do to help me please??

Even if you were still under AppleCare warranty, it would not cover damage from a fall.
That "17 day" warranty makes no sense, though. iPods have a 1-year free AppleCare warranty for service, and 90 days for free phone support:
http://www.apple.com/support/products/ipod.html
Apple can repair just about anything that might be wrong with your iPod, but it will cost you. Call, explain the problem, ask for a repair appointment at your nearest Apple Store (or get a case number and ask for instructions to mail it in for a repair), but get a firm quote on the repair cost before authorizing the repair (or mailing it in for repair).

Question about the "iPod radio remote"

I assume the "radio remote" is the same for every country and is under software control. I want to buy in Canada but use in UK and Canada.
Has anyone got one and seen the RDS work, in the UK almost every FM channel is RDS. Do they have RDS in Canada (Toronto) can anyone confirm?
And of course it says FM so this again I assume no AM, not that I need AM it was just an interest in if it could do it.
What happens about headphones, you can plug a pair into the remote, can you still plug into the bottom of the iPod or does the remote connector get in the way.
What is the story with "line out" I use this all the time as I amp my headphones. So I assume you cant use line out? or is the remote a line out also.
And I assume the remote cable and you headphones act as the aerial, how is the quality? Is it any good indoors, some little FM radios I have used drop to mono indoors. Does this Apple one frop to mono if the signal is weak?
Someone that has one can perhaps answer
Cheers
Ray

I can at least answer some of the questions.
The RDS function on this radio/remote is poor in the
UK. You have to set the radio function on the iPod
to "Europe" and when you do this RDS info is not
displayed on almost all radio stations such as
Virgin, XFM, Capital, GLR, etc. It does display on
Radio 2 however. At least, this is my finding. So
it's unpredictable at best. Setting the radio to
"USA" on the iPod increases the likelihood of getting
the RDS to display, but the downside is that you can
then only tune the radio in increments of 2mhz which
is a bit awkward if your looking for 89.1mhz!
There are three settings for the radio which you
choose via the iPod. They are USA/Europe/Japan. No
setting for Canada, although I'm sure you will still
be able to use it over there as I can still use mine
here in the UK even if it's set to USA.
No, there is no AM radio.
You can plug headphones into the remote or the
headphone jack on the iPod, or both at the same time.
I'm not sure I understand your question about the
bottom of the iPod. The radio plugs into the iPod
via the dock connector.
There is no 'line out' on the iPod. If you mean the
one on the dock, then no you can't use it as you
cannot place the iPod into the dock whilst the
radio/remote is connected as they use the same
connector.
Yes the cable of the remote acts as the aerial.
Reception is surprisingly good where I am, but it
will of course depend on where you use it. I've
used it indoors without any drop in signal or it
dropping to mono.
Lastly, you need to update the software for both the
nano or the 5th generation for the radio to work
(after you do this a radio function appears in the
menu), and some users have found that doing this
screws up the iPod. I have mine working on both the
nano and the 5th gen without any problems.
There is a review of the radio/remote here. I like
mine and consider it a worthwhile accessory, but of
course there will be those who disagree.
iPod
Radio/Remote Review.
Thank you for the reply.
Think your right USA or Europe will work in Canada.
Yes I mean the line out via the dock, I just wondered if the remote become a line out socket (I also use a pocket dock for line out for headphone amp as I use a pair of Sennheiser HD600 with my ipod) but of course that is silly becasue you have a volume control on the remote and line out is normaly fixed.
Based on your views I shall get one in March when in Toronto

Two questions about apple mail

hey everyone. i'm getting to learn a little more about apple mail these days; smoothing out Gmail IMAP synching and whatnaught. i've stumbled into the mail directory on my macbook and had some questions.
1. the "mail downloads" folder (home/library/mail downloads). what is the significance of this folder? in the preferences, i have my default downloads saved to the main "downloads" folder. yet there is a random number of files in there; i don't think they constiute the totality of every message i've received that has a file to download, so what is the logic of those files? if i delete them will the downloads not be available from individual mail messages any longer?
2. i see some older IMAP mailboxes for two accounts that i don't even have access to any more. they don't, however, show up on the mail app itself. is there some way to reintegrate these mailboxes (just for archival purposes, and the ability to see their messages) into the mail program?
thanks so much!
quin

Aaron,
The Mail Downloads folder contents are redundant to what is kept with the messages. The most typical ways that content results in that folder are:
1) quickly clicking the Save button on a message, rather than using a click-hold to then have the option to choose a target location of the Save;
2) you open an attachment with another application. There Mail Downloads is only meant to be a temporary storage location. Attachments are kept as originally received with the message itself. Also, in the more recent version of Mail, it is redundantly kept in a folder within the INBOX.mbox folder named Attachments -- this is a behind the scenes behavior. It first appeared only for IMAP mailboxes, but more recently in Mail 4.x is also the case with a POP account. If unedited, then depending how you have your preference set up, attachments may be removed when Mail is quit, etc.;
3) Mail in 10.5.x and 10.6.x seems to require the Mail Downloads folder to be created, rather than use the Downloads folder. The latter is mostly used as the location of items you click to load from a remote server, whether in a Browser or in Mail.
With respect to your old IMAP account folders or mailboxes, where have you found them? I would assume any old IMAP accounts have been deactivated in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced if in the Mail folder, but not showing in the Sidebar to Mail? It would problematic to activate an IMAP account if it can no longer contact the IMAP server. Any xxxx.imapmbox folder can be dragged from the Mail folder (after quitting Mail) to say the Desktop, renamed as xxxx.mbox folder, and then back in Mail imported to be an On My Mac mailbox for archival.
More info, please.

Question about multiple ipods on one computer

I set up my own ipod nano on my computer and I have been using it without problems for some time. Now someone else in my family got the same ipod nano. I do not know how to set up this new ipod. Do i use the same software already on my computer? Do i just register this new ipod? Please help. Thank you

Hello!
Let me explain this in detail for you:
The Do Not Disconnect screen
It is normal for your iPod to say this message to you when you connect it to your computer.
When you need to disconnect it from your computer, you'll first need to eject it.
There are a few ways to eject your iPod; through iTunes, the Safely Remove Hardware program, and "My Computer".
Through iTunes
Ejecting your iPod via iTunes depends on what setting your iPod is on for.
Connect your iPod. Go into Edit> preferences> iPod. See what setting your iPod is on; "automatic" or "manual".
Automatic
If you aren't restoring, or updating your iPod, iTunes should automatically eject your iPod from iTunes. If it doesn't, then right-click the name of your iPod in iTunes, and make sure that the "enable for disk use" is un-checked.
Manual
If you need to eject your iPod from iTunes if the setting is "manual", click the little arrow that's next to the name of your iPod in the left source list in iTunes.
Through the "Safely Remove Hardware" program
Look at the bottom-right corner of your screen, and there's the system tray icons there. If the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon is there, click on it, select your iPod, and click "stop".
Through "My Computer"
Go to "My Computer".
Find your iPod's listing there (it's typically "E:" or "F:").
Right-click it, click on "eject".
For additional information about ejecting your iPod, check this Apple Support articles about it.
Safely disconnecting your iPod
About the "Do Not Disconnect" and "OK to Disconnect" screens on iPod
Any more questions? I'll be glad to try to help you again.

3 Questions about the iPod.

If my work gave me a 30gb iPod video, does it have the one year warranty? and will it work if I purchase the Apple Protection plan for it (2 years)? If it worked, do I send it report for service and send it directly to Apple (after they send the package to put it in)?
Also, when I am listening to some songs, when it is aobut 3/4 done, it skips to the very end then freezes, then waits about a minute then plays the next song, and it will happen over and over. - It does this on the same songs over and over.
Also, some of my songs on iTunes are in the correct order (track number, album number, etc.), and they are out of order on my iPod. How can I fix this error?
My main question is the first one, but since I was asking questions, I went ahead and asked the other two questions also.
Thanks for your help!

A Fifth Generation iPod refers to the 30GB, 60GB or 80GB iPod with video.
1. If your current MP3s were not purchased from some other online store and are not copy protected they'll work with your iPod
2. Around 2000 depending on song length and file format. The advertised song capacity of iPod is based on 4 minute songs encoded in AAC (MP4)format at a bit rate of 128 kbps. Longer songs and songs encoded at a higher bitrate or in uncompressed formats take up more space. You'll get a similar number if you MP3 are that bit rate or lower, the figures are pretty approximate.
3. You won't be able to use Firewire to update, only to charge. USB 1.1 will be signigicantly slower that USB 2 but if you can live with that should work ok.

Question about normal ipod usage

Hey, probably a stupid question guys, but I'm new to using a hard disk MP3 player and I've noticed when I have my ear right up against the back of my ipod video and I change songs and the such, it makes not such a scratching noise, but very quick clicking noises. Its probably just the noise of normal hard drive operation, but I figured I'd play it safe with my 500$ investment and check it out with you guys first. Also, in a proper case, are these things OK to go jogging with? Or will that fatigue the hard drive?
Ipod Video 5.5G 80GB Windows XP Pro

As for jogging, yes, any type of good case will
suffice, just make sure it holds it securely. I
remember hearing somewhere in these forums that the
iPod has something like 25 minutes worth of skip
protection, so unless you're throwing yourself down
the side of a mountain, you should have no difficulty
enjoying you're music while you run. I trail bike
with my 30GB iPod, and have never run into any
problems. I use the Speck ToughSkin and it works
great for me.
Completely disagree here. Sorry.
From my personal experience...
I run 6 days a week 45 minutes each day. Last year I ran with my 30GB iPod every day. I destroyed it. It had a hard drive and I think I shook all the parts around. Eventually, my iPod began freezing and pausing for no reason. I had to stop running just to reboot it. There were more than a few times that I lost all my music on my iPod. Luckily, I was able to get my music back after loading it up from iTunes when I got home.
Then one day, the spin wheel stopped working. I couldn't do a thing with my iPod. Earlier in the day, I had to reboot it and I lost all my music. No problem I thought. When I got home, the music from iTunes couldn't be loaded into my iPod. I lost all of my music.
I took it to the Apple Store and they asked me if I run with it. They do not recommend running with an iPod unless it has a flash drive. I bought a new 30GB iPod and a 4GB nano. I only run with the nano cuz of it's flash drive.
It took about a year for my 30GB iPod to fall apart. The destruction happened slowly but rest assured that it will eventually happen. Invest in a flash drive iPod or run without music. Your final option would be to buy a new hard drive iPod every time it falls apart. The choice is yours.
Yes, the clicking you hear is normal

I have a question about damaged ipods.....

I know about returning them to an apple store and then they will give you new one if its less then a year. Well my friend gave me his ipod and now a sad ipod pops up on the screen and its not working. Well i want to take it to the apple store but am i going to run into a problem because i am not the actual person who bought it?

If this is the same iPod that was damaged in the rain, the warranty is not going to cover it. Sorry.

Question about selling ipod

I am thinking of selling my iPod. Now I have already registered it with apple. I do have the applcare which I just bought, but was wondering about can everything be transfered overt to the new owner like registration and all of that stuff. I know applcares are transferable (at least on computers) but what steps should I take in preparing the ipod for sale (like making it like a new ipod when it is connected for the first time. ect ect)

1. Currently registered under my name. how do I change Production Registration info if new owner wants to register??
You can't change this (and it's not really necessary as it's no longer under warranty).
2. Is there a website that can estimate the value of my iPod? Good condition / no screen crack. ??
I don't know of any such website. The last time I sold an iPod I checked eBay and a couple of other local selling sites to see what prices they were fetching.

Question about dead ipod

ok, so my ipod touch was in water for along time and i put it in rice. I know what to do to help it work, but now im wondering what to do if it doesnt work. mabey send it to apple?
A STUPID QUESTION IM THINKING: could apple somehow fix the ipod's water damage after i try everything?
sorry for that question, the answer is probally If i try everything i can to help the ipod, apple couldnt save it.
oh well if you think apple would take a dead ipod please tell me!

You cannot fix a water damaged iPod Touch. You can take it to the Apple Store and have it replaced. See: iPod Service Support and Costs.

Several questions about iCloud & iPod touch

I have several questions regarding iCloud which I just started using yesterday.
So far most of my music has been uploaded, but many songs say that "an error occurred" so they were not able to be uploaded. 1) How can I get these songs to upload/try again? 2) These songs are currently on my iPod touch. I haven't configured my iPod for iCloud/iTunes Match yet for fear of losing the music that is already on there. If something from my desktop was unable to be uploaded, will it be deleted from my iPod when I set up my iPod for iCloud/iTunes Match?
3) I have purchased music with my iPod but not synced it with a computer. Will that music be lost if I start using iCloud on my iPod? Will it be uploaded to the cloud so I can access it on my laptop and desktop (which are both Mac products and set up with iCloud)? I no longer connect my iPod to a computer because the laptop it was connected to and had all of my music on died and my new one doesn't have enough storage. My desktop is old and has my older music collection and I fear losing all of the music that is on my iPod (that I don't have anywhere else). I hope that iCloud will help me with all of this- please tell me that it will! 5) I accidentally downloaded half of an album to my iPod and half to my laptop. Will iCloud allow me to have the whole album on 1 device? Thanks so much!

Lots and lots of questions
The new Photos app in OS X should address much of this - it greatly simplifies syncing stuff across machines. Apple has details on it up here:
https://www.apple.com/osx/photos-preview/
It says "coming this spring" and a pre-release version has already been made available to developer testers.
