This is the 4th time I have had to reset my password in 2 months, this is being generated by apple not me. I keep getting emails as well telling me to reset my password. Is this due to a hacking attempt or a virus or perhaps IOS ? What is going on??
I have a problem with my Apple ID password. I have been asked several times over the last few months for my Apple ID password and then when I go to enter it tells me that it is incorrect and I have to through the whole thing again.
If you are receiving e-mail messages telling you to reset your password, you should never click links in those e-mail messages and enter your password there! That is a common phishing attempt, and entering your Apple ID and password on the page you are directed to would give it to the hackers behind it.
It could also be an error of some kind (someone is trying to reset what they think is their Apple ID) or a malicious attempt to reset your password (stupid, since you'd get the reset e-mail, but some folks aren't that bright about this sort of stuff). In either case, turning on two-factor authentication will prevent anyone from even attempting to reset your password without additional information. See:
Apple introduces two-factor authentication
If you keep getting the reset e-mails after turning that on, it's phishing and you should just delete the messages.

i tried to download a movie from itunes store just few minutes ago, it told me "This cannot be played in HD on this computer.
rather insane as I have recently purchased HD films with no issues or concerns at all. I have also updated to the most recent itunes software, yet it still gives me this same error message. and also all movies that i oiwn in HD do work without any problems. I read as much i could but its still giving me this message when i attempt to download. it only gives me the option to get the standard definition version of the film. which is not what I want. Any help on this please? thanks!.After I reformatted my Window 7 machine I'm getting this error too. I deauthorized all my devices and started fresh with my newly reformatted PC thinking that would solve the issue but no go...

I have burned a lot of cd's and always print the jewel case song list when I am done, but tonight I tried to so that and it prints, but all jumbled together and unreadable. I have not changed anything on my printer and all the test pages print great, so don't know how to fix the problem in Itunes.
There is another discussion of this problem under "can't print cd jewel case inserts"--about 20 people on that page have the same problem.--I have a "band-aid" fix for anyone is in a hurry. When you go to print, choose the option "large playlist" (I think it is the last option). You can then print at least the songs that are on the playlist. Then, you can print a mosaic copy to get the album art work. Then you get out the scotch tape & tape them together! This is UNACCEPTABLE but it will do in a pinch. Someone on the other page suggests we all write in "itunes" feedback & complain.

when syncing my iphone with my Outlook calendar, a few days appointments didn't show in my iphone calendar, but other days did. The appointments show in my outlook calendar. I have done this many times, and this is the first time I have had this kind of trouble. Any idea what has caused these appointments to not show?
Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)

My PS cs6 ask me to buy the program. I bought it several years ago. This is the third or 4th time I have had to talk to someone to straighten the program out. How can we remedy this problem PERMANENTLY?
What steps are you following each of those times to get things working again?
The way that Adobe activation and serialization works is kinda like signing into a website. When you log in, a cookie is left on your computer so that you don't have to sign in every time. With Adobe activation and serialization, you get similar cookie files, that way you never have to go through that process again. Adobe never touches those files again, it just checks them to make sure they are there.
You issue you are encountering is the result of this sort of cookie file being deleted, damaged, or invalidated in some way. In most cases, it is because of cleaning software treating it like a website cookie, thinking it is unimportant, and removing it. However, there are many other possibilities including files becoming corrupted due to disk or file handling errors by the system and major system changes.
To take care of the problem permanently, we have to find out exactly what the source of the issue is on your computer and eliminate it (or mitigate it if removing third-party software is out of the question). -
My Ipod touch is frozen. The screen shows only USB cable with arrow point to the word Itunes. What is the problem? This is the second touch I have had that has this same problem. HELP!
This time try restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod instead of from backup. You may have some corruption that is causing the problem and it may now be in the backup. If the problem persists after restoring to factory defaults/new iPod. then you likely have a hardware problem and ana ppointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

This is the second iphonev4s I have had to just turn off and can't get it to cone back on. I charge them to make sure it's not battery but they still won't come on. The first one did it within 30 days so they replaced it. My current one I have had less than 4 months. Anyone else?
Unless you have another USB cable, and if that fails another computer to test the connection with, then I'd suggest you take the phone into an Apple store.

I purchased a Genuine Apple iPhone Lightening Cable from the Phone Shop I got my iPhone from after the one I got with my phone broke, it has broke due to no fault of my own and it's the 4th one I have had, will Apple replace the cable for free or not?

My iTunes, after a short time, decides not to be able to recognize my devices, the only thing that fixes it is a re-install of itunes. it is getting irritating as this will be the 7th time i have had to do it. Any solutions?
The info that was on the old iPhone can only be retreived either by restoring from iCloud/iTunes back up or syncing from iCloud. You need to chek these places and if nothing is there then I'm sorry that data is gone and you will only have the back ups you see.
But check iTunes back ups:

Mac

Hello this is the first time I have ever had a problem. I am trying to down load a movie and it keeps giving me error -50. I have signed out and back in and deleated the download and tryed again and still will not download.
Perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

I have rented 2 movies the past 9 days and they won't transfer to my iPad (first generation). Get the same error message that says they cannot be played on my iPad. I haven't watched either movie and this is the first time I have ever had this happen after several successful movie rentals and transfers.
When you have a query please post the feed URL rather than its contents. For the record, yours is at

I don't have an iPad to test this, so I can only refer you to Apple's Podcast Tech Specs page:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#formattingvideo
This says that the maximum video size for an iPad is 1024x768 - your latest episode is 1280x720.
Slightly confusingly, it also says
'iPad & Apple TV can play the following video formats:
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format'
which suggests that mp4 files are even more limited.
Incidentally your feed gives this URL for the media file:
http://www.honywoodschool.com/user/59/133934.mp4
However when downloaded this produces a file called 'howtosetupappeid.mp4' so soe sort of redirect appears to be in place, and these can sometimes cause trouble. It's better to link directly to the file - it's possible that the iPad doesn't handle the redirect.
That's all I can suggest: if it still doesn't cover the problem I can only refer you to the iPad forum where someone may be able to actually try your podcast and offer a comment. -
I recently updated itunes to the latest version and now the programme will not open.
I have tried all suggestions such as reinstalling the programme, rebooting you name it, nothing.
This most frustrating and completely unacceptable, especially when a company such as Apple touts itself being the leader in music technology yet does not respond directly to questions about faults in their system, but prefers to leave to disgruntled customers to try and sort it out amongst themselves
This not the first time I have had frustrating problems with the Apple system. Perhaps someone could suggest a more reliable system to switch to. Someone with a better troubleshooting system.Going all the way back to Firefox 3.0.5 is shear foolishness, it is 14 security versions behind the last 3.0.19 release. And that version is missing at least a dozen security updates that were applied to the 3.5 and 3.6 versions after support for 3.0.x ended.
If you are not happy with Firefox 4, you should have installed Firefox 3.6.17. That is very similar to the 3.0 and has all the security fixes that have been released since support for Firefox 3.0.x ended last year. -
I have SP Server 2010, and when I try to DELETE a rule within an existing Audience, "Property (Account Name) = domain/username", I get this error, "An error has occurred while accessing SQL database or system resources. If this
is the first time you have seen this message, please try again later. If this
problem persists, please contact your administrator." When I try to "MODIFY" the rule I get this error, "One or more values typed on this page are not valid. Check the text for the indicated fields."
The last time I checked it was working, I'm not aware of any new updates installed recently? I did a full Profile Synchronization as well, but still not working, please advise? -- EvenstarlineHi Sara,
First of all thank you very much for your prompt responses. Here are my comments to each of your suggestions below, and just to let you know I am using a Farm Admin account. I
was able to do this way after we upgraded from SP 2007 to SP 2010 as well. I would like to mention I'm not a SP expert, just been given the responsibility due to another person handling it just left, so apologize with some of
my novice questions below?
1. When I change the Operators to "Contains" or "Not Contains" get generates this error below.
Error generating in red towards top of the audience page..."One or more values typed on this page are not valid. Check the text for the indicated fields."
Error occurred where you enter your "Value"..."Could not resolve the user identity. Please re-enter the account name."
2. We have a 3-server-tier topology (SPWeb, SPDB, and SPFarm). Does the updates only apply to where the Central Admin is installed, which is the "SPFarm"? I checked all
3 servers, and NONE of the updates (KB2899494, KB2889845, and KB2883055) you'd mentioned are installed.
3. I'm new to IISRET, I need to be extra cautious of what I run in production, is this safe to run with no problem? What does it do? And How do I run it?
4. I'm also new to viewing the ULS log. I'd just downloaded a viewer for it. I'm assuming the only logs I need to be concern with viewing are within the SPAdmin (where Central
Admin is installed)? There's so many of them, what should I be looking for exactly?

In Pages I have white letters in a black background. I would like to have the normal black letters on a white background. This is the first time I have used Pages. Is this the default format?
Should we guess what version of Pages? On either Mac or iGadget?
It helps to tell us.
