Touch typing/ergonomics: which fingers for the apple (command) key?
I've been using Apples since I started using computers in the early nineties, but I only recently learned to touch type.
On the PCs I have in the lab I use my little finger for the control key.
Which fingers work best for the apple/command keys?
I've looked on the web to no avail.
Hi!
I use my middle finger for the apple control key. I usually have my fingers on the touchpad about the time I want to use the apple key. I am a strange touch typer, however.
Really, it is all based on what YOU are comfortable with. If you find it ackward, if 1,000,000 people say its right, its still wrong. Experiment.
Touch typing is one of those beautiful, adjustable skills.
Once you find one that is comfortable, just make certain that you keep doing the same thing, or you won't learn the keys perfectly.
Good luck!

When i first typed my email address for the apple id i made a mistake
When i first typed my email address for the apple id i made a mistake and now i can't update apps 'cause that wrong id appears, i can neither erase it,how can i solve it? Thanks

Manage your Apple ID. You will need to sign in with the typo email and then you can change it.
If you don't know the typo email you can use the link to start over with a new Apple ID
Hope that halps -
Do you need to use an email as an apple ID? We have a family email which is currently the apple ID so I can keep track of purchases but i have 2 iPhones and 2 itouches. Can all 4 devices have different apple ID under the same email address. Also I wanted to know because for the game center we wanted to keep track of each individual not just o e account. DID I MAKE SENSE
Figured it out. Thanks.

iphone 4 has a black scrren which will display the apple logo and appears to be at start up but then blacks out for approx 10 seconds and then displays apple logo again. Same action over and over.
I have attempted hard reset but cannot complete. Also attempted to connect with itunes and it does not recongize device.
Device is frozen in this display loop. Have an appointment with genius bar tomorrow but it's a 2.5 hour round trip so suggestion appreciated.Your device may need to be restored as new in iTunes (instead of restored from a back up as it seems that there is a software issue on your phone).
If your phone is not able to connect in iTunes try forcing recovery mode (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808)
* power off your phone.
* Hold the home button while connecting your phone to iTunes. You should see the connect to iTunes window and your computer should give you the recover mode alert.
*Restore your device as new. Being sure not to restore from a previous back up.
You will then want to sync your information back to your device from Outlook, iCloud, Google or wherever your information is stored. -
I restored my ipad but i was unable to activate it because it is askimg me for the apple id and password eith which i originally set it up. I know the apple id although i do not remember ever using it but i cannot remember the password. I have tried everything from reserting my password to trying different passwords but it asks me for a custom question that i dont remember creating.
You need to use Apple's iForgot service or contact their Account Security team.

i reset my disabled ipad 2 and it is asking me for the apple id which first set it up but i forgot the password for that apple id and the password/recovery information for the recovery email address. What can i do?
Click here and use Apple's iForgot service, or contact their Account Security team, or if you're the device's original owner, take it and its purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store.

i want to change my apple id on my macbook pro in the user info. it ask for a password...i am typing in my password to the apple id but it will not accept it....how to solve it ?
I'm afraid that you may be confusing two different 'passwords' - there's your Apple ID (the user name and password that you used to get into these forums) and then there's your computer user name and password - usually two seperate user names and passwords.
If you want to change your password for your user account on your computer, go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and unlock the preference pane. Then you can select your user name and change your password there. Changing a user name is a bit complex and I don't think you want to try that!

Apple discontinued its iWork Beta trial which allowed for the placement of documents on the web and provide others the ability to read, edit and download no matter their software. Is there a replacement product?
No.

You will need to sign up for your own Apple ID and then buy and download Lion by calling Apple and getting a redemption code.
Good Luck

I recently had to get a new windows computer, old one crashed. My tech guy got all my itunes library over to the new one, and all my songs are there. However, some won't play and ask me for the password for the apple id they were purchased under. 2 of these ids are obsolete and I have no access to those accts. The songs all played on my old computer without prompting me for a password.
Any ideas how I can get around this hassle and get them all to play? We're talking about 800 songs that are being obstinate. The new computer is authorized under my "new" Apple id, which I have used for years.Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.
