Setting up Safari account on Retina 5K

I'm setting up a Safari account and a group of apps on my new Retina 5K OS X Yosemite 10.10.
It has so far been setting up for 55 minutes.
I cannot canel the set-up.
I cannot turn off the computer (except by hard-booting, which I don't want to do)
Has my computer crashed or does Safari take a long time to set up?
Have I accidentally omitted an intervening step in this process?
I have a Safari account on a non-linked MacBook Pro. Does this matter?

John,
What do you mean you are setting up a Safari account? Safari is a web browser that requires no set up!

how do I set a new account as default in safari when I send emails from a web page
thanks in advance

In the Composing pane of Mail's preferences window, look for the pop-up menu labeled "Send new messages from." Select the desired account there.
Note, though, that this won't change the behavior when replying to a message... in that case, the reply will be sent from the account that received the message, unless you specify differently at that time.

Trying to set up eprint account

trying to set up eprint account and i get an error message, ajax submit failed 403 - forbidden

Hello PJmanco,
Sorry you are having trouble signing up for an ePrint account. I would recommend trying a different browser (i.e. Chrome, Firefox, Safari) or a mobile browser (iOS, Android, etc.) to see if that helps.
If I have helped in any way, just click the Kudos star on the left. Also, if your issue has been resolved, don't forget to select Accept as Solution

Setting up Googlemail account on iPad

I can log into my googlemail account through Safari but I can't seem to set up the googlemaIl account through the iPad so it is linked to the mail icon. When I try to set up I enter the user name and password but it says invalid user name or password. If I go to Safari, I can log in no problem. Does the initial setup through iPad require something different or additional?

I'm very close. When I set up as an Exchange account, I enter the Gmail user name and password and click next. I get "unable to verify certificate. The certificate from .gmail.com for account xxx.gmail.com could not be verified. Click cancel or accept. If I accept, it let's me enter the server as m.google.com and it appears to set up the account but the Mail icon is dimmed light blue on the next screen and disabled to turn on/off. It then prompts for the exchange password but fails to recognize the Gmail password I used.

i accidently set up one account for icloud and one for itunes; suggestions on how to correct this and use just one account for both.... thanks

If you want to change your iCloud ID to another existing ID you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account. To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.) After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.
This will not move your photo stream, however. If you have photos in photo stream that aren't in your camera roll and that you haven't backed up anywhere else you will need to save these before deleting the account. To do this, open your photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll. You can then delete the iCloud account and your photos will stay in your camera roll.

My wife and I share the iPad. Can we set up separate accounts to log in (like on our Mac)?

My wife and I share the iPad. Can we set up separate accounts to log in (like on our Mac)?

Good question, but I'm 99.9% certain the answer is "no". Here are some considerations:
Think of the heritage of iOS. It really started with iPhones and maybe iPods. These devices cost a whole lot less than a Mac. They are generally not thought of as shared (with exceptions, of course, as is true for you).
Think of the backup process. i-devices typically sync with one iTunes on one computer. How would an i-device with multiple users enstantiate this?
Anyway, all this is to say I'm convinced you cannot do what you're inquiring about.

I set up an account including approval for paypal billing but every time I try to sign in to make a purchase for download I get a message that takes me back through the process of settin up my account. Help!

I just set up an account at the I tunes store including authorization to charge my pay pal abount. I have also received e-mail confirmation that the account is set up, but every time I try to make a purchase I get a message that says apple ID has not yet been used with the I Tunes Store and it takes me back through the process of authorizing my paypay account. Help!

Once you purchase or download an app it will always be associated with the Apple ID used to download it. When that app requires and update you must use the Apple ID and password used to download it in the first place. The only way around this is to delete the apps the require the old Apple ID and download or purchase them again with the new Apple ID.

How to set up user account and share folders

We are a family of four sharing our first iMac. I would like to set up one account for my wife and I and one account for my kids on which I plan to enable Parental Controls.
I have struggled with setting up my kids user account. After setting up a Standard account for the kids - I noticed none of our music or files were visible in the kids accounts. I spent 20 min on the phone with Apple and the tech was clueless. He had me copying my music folder all over the computer until I had about 6 copies of the same folder. I did figure out how to move the music library to SHARED folder and redirect iTunes source folder to the same shared folder.
My problem now - when I copy my documents to the SHARED folder my kids can see the files and open them, but they can not save them. How do I give the kids account read write privileges?
Should I set up a GROUP account instead?
I need the best way to have two or three users who can access all data on the same iMac, while giving me the ability to enable Parental Controls on the accounts.

Do this:
Here's how to set it up by using ACLs:
1. Create a new folder in /Users/Shared. Call it "Sharefolder".
2. Log in to an Admin account, open Terminal and paste in all of this at the same time:
chmod -R +a "everyone allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,\
addsubdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directoryinherit" \
/Users/Shared/Sharefolder
That will automatically make everything copied or created to the sharefolder writable by all users. Note: After setting this up, if you have existing files that you want to move to the sharefolder, hold down the option key when dragging them in. That will make new copies of them in the sharefolder. Dragging existing files in (i.e. simply moving them there) won't cause the ACL to inherit properly and they won't be writable by all users. Files that are copied or +newly created+ in the sharefolder shouldn't have this problem.
Make sure you keep good backups. One user accidentally deleting a shared file will affect everybody else who uses it.

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
If you cannot get this information from the seller

You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

Problems Setting Up Mail Account

I've been using Thunderbird and just want to give Mail that comes with OS X a try.
Having problems trying to send mail after setting up the account exactly as Thunderbird. SMTP.ATT.YAHOO.COM as outgoing and pop.att.yahoo.com as incoming.
I've tried everything but can not send mail.
Also, where is the stationary that can be sent out in the emails?
Thanks!

I was having the same problem. I finally found that when setting up the account do not check the box for Use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and do not check Use Authentication. Tha did it for me.

Trouble setting up iTunes account with Paypal

I've been having a really hard time setting an iTunes account. I don't want to use credit cards at all and according to the iTunes customer support, I don't need a credit card:
"A credit card is not required. However, if you do not wish to add a credit card, you must add a debit card or add and confirm a bank account before you can send money with your PayPal account."
I've had my Paypal account for a while now and I have my bank account confirmed and tied with Paypal. My problem occurs when I try to make an iTunes account. I select Paypal from the payment choices and choose to validate it. I'm taken to a login screen for Paypal where I log into my account and accept the billing agreement. Afterward, I'm brought to a screen where I have to input credit card information. I have a bank account confirmed with my Paypal account, so why would I need a credit card? Please, can somebody help me out here?
I sent Apple's customer service an email about a week ago and I'll I got back was a confirmatio of the email I sent.

I've e mailed support about this exact problem, (6 times) still no answer. My PayPal account shows iTunes as pre approved, but the bottom line iTunes *****.you know there has to be way more of us out there, the obviously don't care.To bad iTunes has to ruin the iPod. sorry, but it seems ikewasted time. Try Paypal support.

After downloading Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta to my desktop I restarted the computer, but I do not receive any prompts to create an account with a Secret Password. How do I set up the account if the prompt never show up?

Several months ago I installed the Firefox Home app on my iPhone to sync the bookmarks that I had on my Windows XP home computer. It has worked just fine until a few days ago. Just recently I was notified that the app would no longer work because of changes that have been made. I have tried to follow the instructions that were emailed to me regarding how to setup the new Firefox Sync add-on, but I am having a problem. After downloading Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta to my desktop and restarting my computer, I do not receive any prompts to create an account with a password and a secret phrase, as the instructions specify. How do I set up the account if the prompt never shows up?

Click on the Firefox button then select Options to open the Options dialog. Now go to the Sync panel for the option to setup a new account.

How do I disable this new account? I need to disable the new e-mail address account so that I can add it as an additional e-mail to my old account. THEN, how do I make this new e-mail address my primary e-mail for this old account?

Did yoo go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign back in?
