When sending messages to one of our iPhones, the wrong name of the sender appears. The phone also does not notify the receiver. This started after we purchased in iPad and attempted sending that phone an iMessage.

Hi buddy, I figured out what is wrong with that. I had the very same issue, while sending an sms via iMessage on Mountain Lion. I called the Apple guy at the Apple care support but without any luck.
At the end--at least in my case, but it could also be yours--I think I have understood what was going on. This happens when you have your Apple ID registered on more than one device. In my case, we have two iPhones--one for me and one for my wife--but with the same App Store account. So, when I sent an sms via iMessage for the Mac, the receiver was shown my wife's iPhone number.
I hope I have been clear enough, you know, explaining this in a foreing language is always painful...
Ciao,
Antonio
P.S.: this could be true for similar issues (iMessage wrong sender) that I've read in the Mountain Lion, iPad and iPod forums.

I am not 100% sure this is the issue, but I saw a different thread about the ATI Radeon HD 2600 not being OpenCL compatible for another program and that a newer compatible graphics card would be required to solve the problem. I am getting the same message with my 2007 iMac 24".

I am thing of using Final Cut Pro but when I try and download I get the message "Your computer's video card does not meet the minimum system requirements." Can I do anything about this?

It is just as the message says. Your video card is not compatible.
You can add a compatible graphics card and use FCP X with your mac. I can't suggest which one, but maybe other people on this forum can guide.
And you may also get good suggestions in the Mac Pro forum.

My iphone's screen goes black and it behaves like that it is switched off.No switches work and the power button also does not respond.The ringtone do not also respond.The only way to switch on the phone is to press home button and power button together.

Pressing the Home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button together until you see the Apple logo and then release is called a reset.
If no change after a reset, the next step is restoring your iPhone.

Try actually reading the article you linked from. Especially the section on updating using iTunes...

TS3899 My iPhone 4s will receive emails but refuses to send them saying my server does not recognise the account... Help!

I cannot send emails regardless of wifi connection but an read them no problem I don't understand the problem

Check your iPhone's Email settings in Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calenders then selec the account. Make sure the Outgoing Mail Server is properly set. It may or may not be the same as the Incoming server. Contact your email provider for the proper address. If the address is properly set try trunning "Use SSL" off as well as ensuring the proper username and passord is enter here as well.

I have a new email address and was successful in changing that information on line but my phone and iPad does not recognize the new address and I cannot update anything. It also does not accept the password associated with the old email address/Apple ID

I have a new email address and was successful in changing the information online but cannot change it on my iPhone 4S or iPad. When I try to fix the problem it requires me to create a new password and now I can't remember that either.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Hi, I have a 7th Gen Ipod Nano and I am unable to delete songs. When synced on the PC I can select tracks but right clicking on them does not give the ability to delete. I have downloaded the latest 1.0.3 software but it did not help.

Hi, I have a 7th gen ipod nano and am having a problem with deleting songs. I can select the track in my ipod's library but right clicking does not bring up the option to delet. I have downloaded the latest update for the ipod but this has not solved the issue. Can anyone suggest a remedy? thanks

Hello Lor100,
In order to delete or add individual songs from and to your iPod, you'll need to enable 'manual mode' on the device. This will allow you to add and remove exactly the content you desire.

If you check the don't show this again box when closing multiple tabs, how do you get it to warn you when closing multiple tabs, or to save previous tabs? Checking the warn me when closing multiple tabs box under tools/tabs does not work to solve this?

I accidentally checked the do not ask me again box when closing multiple tabs. Now I no longer get a warning when closing multiple tabs, and it saves my previous session. I have tried checking and un-checking the warn me box under tools which has not worked. If I open a second window and try to close multiple tabs it will warn me but not on the first window.

You can reset the warn prefs on the about:config page via the right-click context menu.
browser.tabs.warnOnClose , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries
browser.warnOnQuit , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnQuit
browser.warnOnRestart , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnRestart
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

When I run the installation utility nothing happens. I can save the file to the desktop or run it directly within another browser but Firefox does not install--the wizard never even initiates.

Earlier this week Firefox 4.0 crashed. Unsure what happened I elected to reinstall. I downloaded a fresh copy of Firefox from the website and reinstalled. That was a disaster. Firefox was running about 1/20th the speed of Explorer.
Figuring I had some residual problem from the crash I performed a full uninstall, eliminating all personal data and customization, to again install. I have now downloaded the installation utility eight times and not one has worked. Once the program finishes extracting it closes. The installation wizard never launches. I have tried both saving to my local disk and running from within the browser and I get the same result.

Firefox is only a browser; it doesn't have the ability to install third party apps other than those specifically written for it like plugins and extensions.
So after you choose "Save file", click the "Downloads" button in the toolbar and then right click the downloaded file and choose "Open Containing Folder", or "Open File Location" to take you to the folder where it can be found. See screenshot for an example of what the Download button looks like.
From there, double click it to start the installation.
To update Firefox, click Help | Check For Updates in the version you're running right now. The upgrade will subsequently take place automatically.
N.B. If the file you downloaded didn't come from a bona fide source, always right click it and choose to scan it with your anti-virus app first before you run (double click) it. That way, you avoid installing malware which piggybacks onto another app.

Ok I really need help. I bought an unlocked iPhone at T-mobile and registered it at another cell phone provider. So my question is: Can I buy AppleCare Protection for my phone if my cell phone provider does not cell the iPhone?

The question is pretty self-explanatory. But I really do need an answer. I really need to know if I can buy AppleCare Protection after I purchased the iPhone outside of the Apple store??

I fyou can take your iPhone to an Apple store within 30 days (maybe less) of purchasing it, and provide tehm with proof of purchase, and let them evaluate that it is not damaged, you should be able to purchase an AppleCare+ program for it (assuming that your iPhone qualifies for AppleCare+).
I purchased my iPhone 5 at an AT&T store and then took it to an Apple store about 3 weeks later to purchase my AppleCare+ for it. Luckily I haven't needed it yet, but so far, it is still only 49 weeks old...

I can't update Motion. I got this message, "your computer's video card does not meet the minimum system requirements" What do I do?

I have a Mac that's about 7 years old

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The most recent Final Cut Pro X and Motion versions are not compatible with some video cards, and the video card of your iMac is one of them, so you cannot update Motion and you have to stay with the version you have. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4664

When I upgrade imovie I got this message: Your computer's video card does not meet the minimum system requirements.

My iMac has OS X 10.9, graphic card ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 Mo.
Where could I find "the minimum system requirements" for iMovie.
Thanks

Since the iOS 7 update i cannot log into my icloud. Seems I have two iCloud loggins. One old. one new. When I try to delete the ol from my phone it does not accept the password nor will it take my info to reset my password.

At one point I had set up my itunes and icloud with an old email address. I have since shanged that to a new email. iTunes works fine and I can log into my new iCloud on my PC but my phone will not allow me to delete the old iCloud email without the password. I select to reset the password but the system will not accept my birthdate or security questions. All happening after i did the iOS 7 update. Any thoughts? Thank you!

1) Did you change that old email address to your current email address to be your current Apple ID? If so, try to enter your current password for your current Apple ID/iCloud account. If it doesn't work, try #2.
2) If you don't have access to your old email account. Same process, go to https://appleid.apple.com and sign in your current iCloud/Apple ID then edit it to your old email address then Save the changes. DON'T sign out yet. Go back to your iOS device then delete your iCloud account. Once deleted, go back to the Apple ID website and rename it back to your current email address. You have to verify it this time and you will be able to since you have access to that email address.
3) If your answer to #1 is NO, contact Apple Support (Account Security Team) to help you reset its password but you need to have another email address available which is not yet an Apple ID to send the password reset email.
Hope this helps! Cheers!

The wrong name of the message sender appears. The phone also does not notify the receiver. This started after we purchased in iPad and attempted sending that phone an iMessage.
