Re: Apple puts DRM blocks on there current generation of Video iPods

Ok so Apple seems to be placing a limit on the playback of music videos with the "TV On" feature of the current crop of iPods with iTunes 7.0.2.
Try this for yourself you can play all the music videos and playlists you want with the "TV Off" feature but when you try to play it out to a TV it will only basically play purchased videos or one video out at a time.
What's next a "TV On" block on movies or Tv Shows? This is WEAK and now I have to find a way to go and buy a used Video iPod in the 60gb format with older iTunes.
My old 60gb video iPod had no problem other that it got stolen.

Try it yourself,
I gave the outline of how to create the potential issue and you will see what I'm talking about. I'm a longtime owner and believer of the iPod and iTunes platform.
Try shuffling music videos with some not bought from the iTunes store .. it will only play 24 tops now and it always plays the same one with a preference to iTunes bought purchases.
Or try playing a whole artist list of videos with "TV On" it will only play one at a time. If you leave "TV Off" it will play the whole artist list without a hitch.

Can I put more than one user under one Apple ID account. I want to let other family members use imessage on their own Apple device. Or is there another way to get this end result?

You can seach the net for solutions like this one http://appletvvpn.com/how-to-connect-apple-tv-2-to-vpn/ another idea is to use a PC as the control and fit that with a wireless card and set up a ad hoc wireless network that the Apple TV uses.

HT5625 I'm trying to create a new Apple ID but when I was putting on my information, there's a box asking for an ITunes gift code. What's this and how can I get one?

You're not obligated to insert a gift code. But you can purchase gift codes on the Apple online store (gift cards or certificates) or Apple Retail store
Gift codes are pre paid cards so you can use credit on the iTunes Store to purchase content

I have a macbook and when I power it on and then select myself as a user...It won't power up. It stays in the white screen with the apple logo. I am online currently under 'guest user'. Is there anything I can do from the keyboard to fix this??? Help!!!

Could you specify the model of MacBook and the OS X it's running, please? Some of the advice or references vary along with the system, so this could be helpful to formulate a reply. I've never used a Guest User selection, but do have more than one User.
If the computer does not have an optical drive, you may be able to boot it into a recovery disk mode or something; in an attempt to see what is wrong and maybe fix it.
Good luck & happy computing!

Is there a way for this community, to make a suggestion to Apple to include blocking a specific contact number calls and messages just as other phones provide that feature for their users.

Is there a way for this community, to make a suggestion to Apple to include blocking a specific contact number calls and messages just as other phones provide that feature for their users.

No phone provides true call blocking. At best, they provide call diversion. Essentially, the call is answered and disconnected automatically. If I recall, Apple is adding call diversion features in iOS 7.
Best of luck.

Hmm, im pretty sure your not alowed to use a debit card as a method of payment , your options are credit card ( visa, mastercard etc ) but to clarify is it letting you download free stuff ?

Apple put a new hard drive into my MacBook Pro and updated the system to Maverick. They did not put iPhoto and iWeb on it but I did have it in Lion. Why and what am I supposed to do?

Apple put a new hard drive into my MacBook Pro and updated it from Lion to Maverick. They did not put iPhoto and iWeb on it but I did have it in Lion. They also didn't put Pages, Keynote or Numbers back on it until I argued with them. Of course, I didn't have my data backed up. My hard drive was destroyed when I tried to install the update of Mavericks myself. I should not have to buy iWeb and iPhoto when I already had them. Suggestions?

cwhargrave,
have you tried looking in the App Store, to see if you can redownload iWeb and iPhoto there gratis?
If you haven’t done so already, you should purchase an external hard drive to act as a Time Machine backup destination, so that you’ll have an option to rollback to a working environment if a new OS installation is troublesome.

Apple ID is blocked due to security reasons. Can't unlock

Hi,
A friend of mine has an @icloud.com Apple ID. For a couple of days her account has become "blocked due to security reasons". We have no idea why, but that is besides the point.
She forgot the answers to her security questions. And the only other option is to get a link in the mail. Which is obviously blocked because it's an @icloud.com address.
So we have no idea what to do next.
Please help
Cheers,
Serghei

UPDATE: So, I used the online form that Niel provided and in 2 days I get reply, that there's nothing they can do and we need to contact Account Support and they gave me a link to Apple Support website. Which is useless for the country that I'm from (Republic of Moldova). I wrote them another email (an angry one I have to admit) and asked for someone to contact me or at least provide us a phone # or email where we could write and get help. And we've got the exact same template email back. This is one of the signs of very poor customer service.
Alright, we decided to try and call their support from a nearby country. Russia sounded like a good idea. But guess what, they're not answering our phone calls!!
My sister decided to just give up and create a new Apple ID (with a gmail this time). But hey, more good news, I couldn't install it on her iPad because Find My iPad is On and it can't be disabled because her original Apple ID is blocked.
I guess you guys can see how seriously frustrating this is.
Now our only hope is to try and reach their US support. Maybe they will be more responsive.
Meanwhile, Apple if are readying this. GET YOUR **** TOGETHER!
Sorry for my rent, but I had to write this somewhere
Cheers,
Serghei

HT204266 I have two apple id's. Is there a way to consolidate all the songs under one id?

I have two different apple id's. Is there a wy to consolidate those into one and what do I need to do to all the purchases made under each to still have them.

You can't currently merge accounts nor transfer content from one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it. As long as both accounts continue to be authorised on your computer's iTunes then you should be able to continue using them. Note that if you turn on automatic downloads for an account or re-download its past purchases then you may tie that computer (or iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch if that is what you are using) to that account for 90 days, so you wouldn't be able to log into the other account until those 90 days are up : associating a computer or device.

HT204053 My apple id is different from my current email . I can't get icloud support

My apple id is different from my current email . I can't get icloud support

I don't have any suggestions that will help you resolve this issue other than to try posting here where there should be more iCloud experts.
https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/icloud_on_my_ios_device
Or contact Apple and ask for their help with this. Try here. I think Account and Setup would be the starting point.

I have an older video ipod that I would like to take the songs off of and put on my new iphone. Is there a way to do this?

I have an older video ipod that I would like to take the songs off of and put on my new iphone. I haven't used the ipod in a few years. Is there a way to do this?

Yes. See this article from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to copy content from your iPod over to your computer and into iTunes. Once you have successfully done that, you can go ahead and sync the content over to your iPhone.

I've been hit by malware disguised as an Adobe update. It is preventing me contacting Apple support and blocking other contacts. I have deleted the downloads but the problem persists

My laptop has just been hit by malware disguised as an Adobe update. I deleted the download immediately and restarted but the problem persists. The malware has created a new search page, endless ads but more dangerously is creating hyperlinks hidden in normal webpage text. It is also blocking access to Apple directly and blocking me logging on to my bank etc

Try changing your Apple ID password at iforgot.apple.com first.
Also:
How to reset your Apple ID security questions.
Go to appleid.apple.com, click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
Log in with your Apple ID and password. (If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email)
Go to the Password & Security section on the left side, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'. This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
If that doesn't work, or there is no rescue email link available, then click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
Next, go to https://getsupport.apple.com
(If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
A new page will open.
Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Forgotten Apple ID Security Questions'.
Click the blue 'Continue' button.
Select the contact option that suits your needs best.
