Sign in capability for updates to Aps won't appear???

Keyboard doesn't appear in order to log on to download app updates

Data Rescue has gotten good reviews in Apple Discussions. So buy a Leopard compatible copy.
Here's a plan you might consider.
1. Buy an external hard drive enclosure that connects via firewire. (Note - enclosures are usually for 3.5" HDs, but also buy a 3.5"-to-2.5" connector adapter. Your iBook has a 2.5" HD.)
2. Remove the iBook's HD. Instructions at this site. Fix It Guides for Mac Laptops & Mini http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/
The guides can be viewed on-line or you can download a PDF file.
3. Install the failed HD in the enclosure & connect to your MB Pro.
4. See if the "failed" HD is now detected. If so retrieve the files.
5. If not, use DataRescue and (cross your fingers) retrieve the important files from your failed HD.
More suggestions.
1. Buy another 2.5" HD for the iBook & install it.
2. Buy a 3.5" HD of at least 250GB and install it in the external enclosure. Partition it with one partition for your iBook and another partition for your MB Pro.
3. Use the external HD to backup, frequently, the files on the iBook & MB Pro. (Don't you wish you had done this prior to your problem. All HDs are going to fail, sooner or later.)

  • When I sign into iTunes for updates, a secondary username appears and I need to enter a password. I am not familiar with the second user name. Any Suggestions?

    When I sign into iTunes for updates, a secondary username appers and I need to enter a password. I am not familiar with the second username. Any suggestions?

    Are you using iTunes on your iPad or the actual program on a Mac/PC?
    If you are using on your iPad check the ID being used by going to Settings>iTunes & App Store if the Apple ID displayed isn't yours tap it and select Sign Out then sign in with your own Apple ID.
    If you are referring to iTunes on a Mac/PC select the Store Menu and check the Account Name next to the View Account text, if this isn't you select the Sign Out option directly above it then Sign In with the relevant credentials.

  • ITunes 10 will not connect to Store, let me sign in, check for updates on Windows Vista 32 bit.

    Has anyone had trouble connecting to the iTunes Store while using Itunes 10 for PC?
    I cannot check for updates, sign in, or connect to the store so all my app downloads must be done from my device.
    Using:
    Windows Vista 32-bit.
    Cox McAfee anti-virus/firewall.

    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

  • In private browsing, I used to keep a sign in seal for yahoo, now it does not appear the sign in seal

    I used private browsing for over a year, I used to keep a sign in seal for yahoo, now the sign in seal does not appear, how can I
    get the sign in seal to appear again?

    I didn't change any settings nor stored it anywhere, it stopped working today,
    it happened in the morning, I checked at 10: 05pm, now it is working again,
    perhaps something happened or somehow someone corrected the issue,
    I appreciate your prompt response, thank you, best wishes to you all, Miguele

  • IOS app for update to Pages won't open

    I just updated Pages for the iPad.  After updating the app, it appeared with a blue dot next to it and the app would not open. I deleted the app and reinstalled a number of times and it still won't open--so I know that's not the solution. Any ideas besides making an appointment with the Genius people?
    Thanks.

    Perform a "reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
    Then test to see if it solved the problem.

  • Can't access my old apple ID. I have a new one, but it keeps going to the old one to sign in and for updates.

    How can I delete the old ID and replace with new one for existing apps on my iPad ?

    All of the apps purchased or downloaded with the old ID will require that old ID and password in order to update them. If you want to avoid this delete the apps and download them again using the new Apple ID. Be aware that you will have to pay for any apps that cost money.

  • After Mavericks update some signatures won't appear.

    After the update with Mavericks some of my signatutes stick and some don't. Any ideas?

    Hi, try this...
    Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)

    I can't open a blank template, Can't quit pages without force quit, re-installed pages, no updates needed, rest of program seems to work, any answers?

    Before trying to answer, I wish to check if you are really running under 10.4.11 and in this case, which is the exact application's version in use.

  • I can sign into Adobe but I cannot sign  into Adobe Reader for updates

    I can sign into Adobe but my password is rejected when trying to sign into Adobe reader for updates.

    Adobe Reader won't ask you to sign in for updates. Most likely, this is just the normal adminstrator password prompt you get when installing or updating software, and you use your computer's own password.

  • Inconsistent Locking with Select for Update

    Hi,
    I seem to be having some issues in using SELECT FOR UPDATE and was hoping to get some insight from the Oralce Guru's out there.
    I have a J2EE application, running in WebLogic 8.1.4 using Oralce 9.2.0.1.0.
    The application contains code that requires locking to be done on a specific table with multiple transactions (tx) requesting the same lock. Eg:
    Tx 1: Select * from Zone where Zoneid = 'Zone1' for update (Obtains lock)
    Tx 2: Select * from Zone where Zoneid = 'Zone1' for update (waits)
    Tx 100: Select * from Zone where Zoneid = 'Zone1' for update
    Tx1 commits.
    It appears that the following transactions, i.e. Tx2 - Tx100 do not seem to execute in the order the lock was requested. That is Tx 100 always appears to be the second last transaction to execute, after which some arbitrary transaction between Tx2 - Tx99 will execute after Tx100 has committed.
    This seems to tell me that the lock is not being handed in a FIFO manner and is causing us great pain as our data is not longer consistent.
    Does anyone know how i might be able to trace which transaction is being awarded the lock? Also if anyone has any suggestion on how to troubleshoot/solve this issue, greatly appreciated.
    TIA
    Prem

    Oracle does not have a lock queue/manager at all. The locked status of a record is essentially an attribute of the record itself. It is stored on the datablock header. When a transaction requests a lock and can't get it, and is willing to wait (SELECT FOR UPDATE without NOWAIT), it first spins while waiting for the lock (four times as I recall), then sleeps waiting for the lock. The the more times it sleeps before getting the lock, the longer it will sleep before trying again.
    What is likely happening here is that transaction 100 is still spinning when transaction 1 commits, so checks back more frequently and gets the lock first. The rest get the lock whenever they wake up and noone else has taken the lock.
    If you need the transaction to occur in order, then I do not think you can use Oracle's native locking mechanism. Depending on what exactly you are trying to do, you may want to look at Advanced Queueing, or possibly the built-in package DBMS_LOCK.

    There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
    Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

    You need to upgrade OS X.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks/Yosemite- System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • Ok, tried message boards everywhere to try and figure this out before having to post a question. Have a 21.5" iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  After updates no wireless capability for ipad or laptop, imac connects fine but nothing else.No widgets work.

    Your post is pretty lengthy and I have to admit I didn't read it all. Please try restarting in Safe Mode, if that doesn't work please do both a SMC and PRAM reset. These may take 2-3 attempts.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated.

    I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated.

    "If you've forgotten the Apple ID password how did you log in to make the last post?"
    Exactly! The password I used to log on here and write my post I figured was the same Apple ID password I would use to reset my computer login password. But my computer isn't recognizing it as the correct password so it wont let me update my login password. I have 2 user accounts on my computer.
    As far as the link you provided, I already looked to that for help earlier. It states:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Users & Groups, click the lock to unlock it, then provide an administrator name and password. Select a user, then click Reset Password.
    I did these steps, but I don't remember my admin password. The question is: How do I reset my admin password so I can reset my log in password.
    Is my admin password the same password I use to log onto this website to post questions? If so, like I said previously, I already reset that password and my computer isnt recognizing it.

    My husband and I are using the same iTunes account on all mac & pc computers, but the libraries are different on each machine.  We always manually manage our music (no auto sync).  iTunes is up to date on the PCs.  My husband uses our joint iTunes account on his pc, but once again, has a different collection in his library from those on the other machines.  He can't load any music from his PC to his iphone 4.  I can load music from my mac library to my iphone 4s, but cannot load from my pc library to my iphone 4s.  How can I switch my main library that it syncs with from the mac to the pc?
