  • HT1386 Hello, When trying to sync, I get the following message.  This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iPhone "Terri George's iPhone". Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?

    while trying to sync with my iphone I recieve the message: This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iPhone “Terri George’s iPhone”. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?  When I put in my password and hit authorize, I get a message telling me there was an unknown error (-50).  Would love to sync today.  Any help would be appreciated.

    The -50 error is documented in this article:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    Here is a synopsis:
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

  • Does my iMac come with ny security softwares???

    Hey everyone I am aware that macs are very safe, but I am a security freak, so I am wondering...
    1. Does my iMac coe with any internet security or virus protection? I was reading somewhere that hey had something that came with it.
    However i am not sure which is why i am asking you gys!
    Thanks.
    -Ryan

    Yes, your Mac comes with security software...it is called Mac OS X. The Mac OS is built on Linux which means it is built with security in mind. Having set up and started your computer, you created an account which a password. That is one level of security since you cannot use Apple's installer software to install programs nor make changes to the main Library without that password. Malware has to ask you for help getting installed.
    You probably created your account as an administrator account. I'd recommend that you consider creating a second account and make it a normal account. Use that account for day to day work and use the admin account for installing software that demands an administrative password. The advantage is that if any malware does slip in through nefarious means, it can only affect your user account and not the entire computer.
    Don't forget that the Mac OS comes with a firewall built in. Look for it in the System Preferences under 'security'. I don't recall if it is turned on by default or not.
    Other than this, do you really need third party security software? If you read the scary news (compiled by friendly companies that make computer security software) yes, you do. But the truth is, except for a couple trojans and a hacked program at a warez site, there have been no baddies found for the Mac in the wild. What has been found is easily avoidable by practicing safe hex - no special security software needed.
    No question, this could all change very quickly but for now, go ahead and download ClamXav, an open source anti-virus program. It won't do any harm to the computer or your pocketbook. Then again, so far, it hasn't done me any good either.

  • Does a iMac come with DVD burning software?

    I just bought an iMac and can not find a way to burn a movie to a DVD.  Does burning software come with the computer?

    iDVD is part of the retail iLife 11 package. You can purchase the retail version at the Apple Store or various resellers (also ebay). I purchased it simply to have a hard copy of iDVD since it is no longer part of the OS.
    You can send Apple feedback with the suggestion that they reconsider and keep it part of the OS here:

  • Does my iMac come with antivirus? What's best antivirus to get? Where to find?

    Does my iMac — purchased within the last two months with Version 10.7.3 — come with antivirus? I can't find it on my system. If not, what's the best antivirus to get? Where do I find it?

    It's integratedd into OS X. You don't need any anti-virus software. See:
    Helpful Links Regarding Flashback Trojan and Virus Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    A link to a great User Tip about the trojan: Flashback Trojan User Tip.
    To check for the trojan: Anti Flashback Trojan 2.0.4.
    A Google search can reveal a variety of alternatives on how the remove the trojan should your computer get infected. This can get you started. Or the preferred method is to use Apple's protection tool: Flashback Malware Removal Tool 1.0.
    Or, open Software Update. If you do not have the Apple protection software installed it will download and install it via Software Update. If no update appears that means you either already have it installed or it isn't needed for your system. The software is only available for Leopard, Snow Leopard, and Lion versions of OS X.
    Also see Apple's article About Flashback malware.
    For general anti-virus protection I only recommend using ClamXav.

  • Does 2012 imac come with cleaning cloth

    does apple imac 2012 model come with a cleaning cloth

    As far as I know, that was discontinued a few years ago. Get one for cleaning eyeglasses from your local optometrist/eyeglass store. They usually come with the cases. You probably have one already; be certain to wash it first in mild detergent and then let it dry out. Make sure it's a nice soft one. I think they're all microfiber now.

  • Does an imac come with a cd drive?

    Don't know whether they come with a cd drive

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The most recent iMac doesn't come with a disc drive, but older iMacs have got a disc drive. As the new iMac hasn't got one, you have to buy an external disc drive

  • Does my imac come with snow leopard cd

    I purchased imac 27" (refurbished) less than 1 year ago from apple.  Now I need bootcamp drivers and I don't recall whether or not receiving snow leopard cd with this.  Can someone confirm about this?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    OSX Snow Leopard was released in August 2009.
    So when you have bought your refurbished iMac in 2010 then there has to be an OSX Snow Leopard DVD included.
    Search thoroughly for it.
    If you don't find it anymore you can either call Apple and ask for a replacement or go to your nearest Apple shop and buy a retail OSx Snow Leopard for USD 29.
    Regards
    Stefan

  • Looking for un-zip/rar software that lets me see the contents of archive and extract single files

    I work with lots of rar and zip archives, and often times i need to view the contents with out extraction, and/or just extract a single file out of a larger archive.  Some archives can be upper of 5gb, extracting the entire archive for 1 10meg file gets tedious.
    I've tried unrarX and the unarchiaver both just instantly start extraction and don't allow me to see the contents of the file.
    WinRar on PC is what i'm trying to emulate, with no success so far.
    Any suggestions?

  • What application does an iMac need to use bbc iplayer

    I am trying to download programs from the bbc iplayer to my iMac. I am getting a message about an applcation that I need to have to ber able to run the download. Does anybody know what this is orm how I can get it.
    Many thanks.

    You need to contact the developer and ask what they require? If the content was created using Flash then you only need to visit Adobe's website to download Flash.

  • Does 2013 iMac come with installation disk

    I bought second hand iMac from Ebay but got no installation disk.
    Should it have one?
    Came complete in original packaging.

    If you require an fresh install of Mac OS X....Start up your mac while holding down CMD + R.
    This will download the OS from Apple for free.
    P.S it will only download the OS X version that came with your iMac. You can then upgrade it to Yosemite for free.

  • Do iMacs come with a mouse pad in the box?

    I know, I know, this is a silly question. But I have a glass computer desk and mice do not work on it without a mouse pad. I just wanted to know if I need to pick up one so I'm not running to wal mart so I can set up my computer when it gets here.

    No, there is no mouse pad in the box. Can't you use the one you used previously?
