How can I change the appe ID that is registred in my Ipad? It was bought for a friend and he put his own ID. I have my ID but I don' t know how I can install it in my Ipad
Tap on the id in Settings > Store and log out of it and then log in with your id. But if there is any content on the iPad from his account then you are probably better off resetting back to factory defaults via Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings and starting 'as new' with it - content is tied to the id that bought/downloaded it so your account won't be able to download updates to any of his apps, and unless his account is authorised on your computer's iTunes and his content is on there then it will be deleted when you sync to it.

Since updating to OS5 I cannot open downloaded podcasts and can't confirm if they have actually been downloaded. They appear in the "more" list in iTunes music, but won't play. I hear others have this problem but what is the solution ?
Install the Flex:Player App; http://itunes.apple.com/app/flex-player/id451024857?alreadyRedirected=1&mt=8
Then you can open the movies, keep tapping on them and choose Open in Flex:Player. -
My iphone 4 doesn´t connect through Wi-Fi, Apple replaced my phone for a new one, but the new one has the same problem. I have an ipod third generation and it doesn´t have this problem. Having compared both working at the same time, the iphone alsways lags behind or doesn´t even connect to the internet via Wi-Fi. Does any one know what to do?? Thanks
Have you ever checked to see if there is an update for your router? If yes, then power off router. Then on iPhone go into settings and do a reset network settings. Power router back on, and try connecting phone to router.

I have a problem, from system test says: Error 4mem/61/400000000:0x8444fb98, I know how you can solve.
If you have Apple Care for that computer, give them a call: Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775
If you're not sure how to handle the situation, consider walking your MB into the nearest Apple Store and asking someone there to take a look, etc.
Good luck in any case. -
I have all my bookmarks sync'd via Xmarks, across computers. Now that Xmarks is being discontinued, I want to have my bookmarks sync'd via Firefox sync. So how do I make sure that once I install Firefox sync, I get all my bookmarks from Xmarks into Firefox sync. I assume I import, but it doesn't say anything about this in the info about Firefox sync. Before I install, I want to know what measures to take with the bookmarks from Xmarks. Thanks for taking the time to answer this, I am sure, simplistic question.
As with Xmarks, Firefox Sync will import the bookmarks on your local computer. The bookmarks on your computer should be up to date and include any changes that are on the Xmarks servers. There is no need for Firefox Sync to import the data from the Xmarks server, it just needs to import the bookmarks on your computer.
For details on using it start with the [[What is Firefox Sync]] article. It has a description of what Firefox Sync does and links to how to use it. -

If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...

This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...

I bought a movie on my 1st generation apple tv and it isn't automatically transferring to my computer so I can watch anywhere. Anyone have this problem? Is there a solution?
AppleTV1 can sync with 1 iTunes library - the top one listed in Settings>Computers.
Other libraries are 'shared' or streaming only, and appear under the top entry.
You basically need to remove the current iTunes library from AppleTV - select it and remove it - then adfd it again as the to 'sync' compuetr entry.
NOTE - changing the sync liubrary wipes AppleTV of data though apparently it does not delete items not yet reverse synced to iTunes. If it buggers up contact iTunes store support.

I was updating my software on my iphone 4 and it crashed so it recovered it and i restored it from its back up. However I have lost all my music and my apps but not my pictures. How can i get my music back. I did not remove my phone from the computer until it had said it had finsihed.
Media and apps are not part of the backup. They need to be re-synced from your itunes library or re-downloaded from the store.

how do i recover my lost iphone 4 when i only had the "find my iphone" app, how do i locate it, how do i recover my lost iphone 4 when i only had the "find my iphone" app, how do i locate it
As long as you enabled it when you first activated your Iphone, it's pretty straightforward. Using any computer, go to icloud.com. Sign in with your Apple ID. A screen will come up with a map showing the general location of your phone. If you have a friend with an iphone and are logged in using Safari, when you get close, you can tell your iphone to make a sound. Good luck.

You are able to restore the device back to default settings using itunes. Once restored it will ask you for your apple id and password.
if you do not know/remember your apple id password you may go to www.appleid.apple.com to reset your apple id password. -

Since I updated my Iphone to IOS 7, I have lost all calender entries oin my phone and it won't sync calenders on iitunes. Anyone have this problem?
I believe anilsudhakaran meant sign out and in with your Apple ID for iTunes.
Also, do a hard reboot of your phone. I know that always helps me.
This doesn't delete anything
Google how to do it if you are not sure how to do it. -
Hi...I have this problem, everytime I want to print something out the mac asks me for the computer password...that is really becoming annoying after. That happened since I upgraded to mountain lion. How can I stop the computer from asking me that?
If you are printing via a Windows shared printer and it is the Windows user account that you are being prompted for then you can save this in the Keychain, as shown below.
