What is an Apple ID "numeric identifier"?

I have attempted, multiple times, to submit a Contact Us inquiry through iTunes Connect this morning but consistently receive the following error message:
"An error occured trying to send your message: You have entered an invalid Apple ID. Your Apple ID is a numeric identifier."
I get this error after I have logged in to iTunes Connect and after I have entered my only Apple ID on the Contact Us form. My Apple ID is an email address and not a numeric identifier. Today is the first time I have encountered this error message. I can find no mention of a "numeric identifier" anywhere in my account details.
Is this something new? And if so, where the **** do I find it?
Thanks,
Walt

That is absolutely absurd. After struggling with this falteral of publishing an ePub formatted eBook and having iTunes Producer make a mess in it's diapers, I am relegated to figuring out why my Apple demanded email address formatted Apple ID does not work in the iTunes Connect help section? This clearly cuts down on the problem reporting and makes iTunes Connect look more trouble free...
And Michi, thank you very much for posting.

How do I find my Apple ID Numeric Identifier?

I'm being asked for a numerical password in order to send a question to 'contact us'. My Apple ID is an email address and a password. I haven't heard of a numeric identfier. How do I find it? Or how to I register one?

My Sales & Trend page have no such number. Do you have a book on sale already? The numeric ID seems to be connected to a book. My problem is, I have not uploaded one yet and cannot reach them to ask for help because I have no numeric ID. Gaaah. Anyone?

Assigning Numeric Identifiers Based on Group

Hi there,
Currently I have a set of data consisting of an unique identifier (ID), four product properties (Brand.1.1, Brand.1.2, ...), and a preference.
What I would like to do is for each product category (i.e. Brand, Price, and Preference) is assign numeric identifiers to values - that is, common values will be assigned the same identifier within each category. If possible, I would also like a legend to be
created automatically. It is possible that the same input exists in different categories, but they should not be seen as equivalent to each other.
My current method involves creating a chart of unique values for each category and using lookup functions but this is a slow process when I have multiple product categories to go through (Size, Price, Brand, Warranty, Features, Delivery, etc.).
Example:
ID
Brand.1.1
Brand.1.2
Price.1.1
Price.1.2
Preference
ID001
Apple
Cereal
50
25
Cereal
ID002
Cereal
Bread
32
41
Cereal
ID003
Bread
Apple
50
32
Apple
ID004
Cereal
Eggs
41
25
Eggs
Assign numeric values:
Brand.1.1
Brand.1.2
Price.1.1
Price.1.2
Preference
ID001
1
3
1
2
1
ID002
3
2
3
4
1
ID003
2
1
1
3
2
ID004
3
4
4
2
3
Legend:
Brand:
Apple - 1
Bread - 2
Cereal - 3
Eggs -4
Price:
$50 - 1
$25 -2
$32 -3
$41 -4
Preference: (Notice how it has same input-values as Brand but doesn't necessarily assign the same numbers since it's a different category)
Cereal -1
Apple -2
Eggs -3
I imagine VBA will be required but any thoughts/help would be appreciated.

Hi,
If you don't want to use VLOOKUP function, also ,you'd like the legend to be created automatically. The only way I can think is VBA code.
As this forum is for discussing Office Client issue, to help you better, I suggest you submit a new case on MSDN forum as they will be more professional on your issue.

Regarding the internet breech as seen on the news. What advice is Apple giving to its computer, iPad, and phone users?

Regarding the internet breech as seen on the news. What advice is Apple giving to its computer, iPad, and phone users?

That does not affect any OS X client or iOS, and there is no action for you or Apple to take.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.

What the **** has Apple done now? iPhone 4 no longer syncs correctly

After all the B/S of trying to sync a SonyEriccson P1i the iPhone 4 was a beath of fresh air. So typically 'Apple' with its simplicity and efficiency.
Yet suddenly it will not sync correctly. Is it iTunes 10.1.2 or iOS 4.2.1 to blame? I have no idea.
Only some of the new contacts entered into the phone transfer to the Address Book. Those that do not will not transfer in ANY direction ie. neither from MBP to iPhone or vice-versa. Enter in a nonsense address and it will sync. Modify it to one of the 'troublesome' addresses in the Adrees Book and it will not update on the iPhone.
What the **** has Apple done now? Is this another crappy untested update somewhere?

Right then, for those who want to know the most likely suspect for all this sync'ing grief is the Sony Ericsson P1i.
Having finally got the iPhone talking to iTunes normally with latest contacts, calendar, Mail accounts etc AND syncing new contacts in BOTH directions (MBP to iP4 and iP4 to MBP) I then synced the SE P1i with the latest definitive up-to-date Address Book using Device Reset in order to wipe the phone first.
Everything suddenly stopped working again with the iPhone/iTunes syncing.
Getting it working again involved importing an old Address Book backup and doing a manual iPhone sync. Then restart everything, throw away the iPhone backup within iTunes, open up Mail and just click on stuff before closing it (because the Mail Accounts had also disappeared from the iPhone again), doing a manual 'One-Time' sync of Contacts forcing the computer info onto the iPhone, re-importing the latest Address Book backup on the MBP, doing one more manual sync, restart everything, throw away the iphone backup and then an auto sync.
Finally, everything gets loaded back onto the iPhone and the ability to add or delete contacts on both iPhone and MBP is reinstated with sync in both directions.
Moral of the story? Crush your Sony Ericsson. The P900 series used to sync cleanly and easily via Bluetooth (both Contacts AND Calendars), but the P1i is and always has been troublesome and difficult and has a VERY unstable Bluetooth connection. I went through months of misery with the third-party app Missing Sync and suffered corrupted computer Address Books all the time. A real piece of SH1T.

How do you know what generation your Apple TV is?

How can you tell what generation your Apple TV is and what the version IOS it is running? Thanks for any help!

In the link provided, there is a section which tells which model you have; e.g.
Apple TV (3rd generation)
Year introduced: Early 2012
Color: Black
Model number on bottom:
A1427 for Apple TV (3rd generation)
A1469 for Apple TV (3rd generation) Rev A
The A1427 or A1469 is printed on the bottom of the apple tv with very fine print, i had to use a flashlight to see my model number.

What program is apple using to make there website?

I was wondering (because I would like a website as powerful as apples and as easy to use as iweb). What Program did apple use to make there website and do you need multiple programs to do those things such as. the way buttons are animated not using flash, and the search function, and forums and store, etc.
Anyways, this aught to be an interesting discussion

There is really no way to know what Apple uses to build their site.
There is no reason why you can not make a good looking, fast site in iWeb. The only reason why your website may not look as nice is because you are probably not a professional website designer like the people behind Apple's site.
If your site is too slow consider reducing the number of images you use on your website, making sure your text is not converted to images, you switch to a real web hosting provider and not rely on MobileMe, and you run your iWeb website through a web site optimizer.

What's with apple and updates?

What's with Apple and the latest updates? They are really messed up! with ios 8.02 and 8.10 updating via itunes, (itunes 12.0.1.26) has screwed my iphone. The update fails. The restore won't go since it wants a password, which on a defaulted iphone, *there is none*. Now I'm stuck with out being able to restore my iphone and it's at factory default for mail and such. Screwed! What's the point of backing up your iphone if you can't restore it? Apple? ****!

Because that is the most recent version of Opera that the developers have issued to the Mac App Store.

What format do Apple IIGS CD-ROM's use?

I am trying to make a CD-ROM that is readable on an Apple IIGS. What format did Apple II CD-ROM's use? I'm assuming that they were not ProDOS because ProDOS has a maximum capacity of 32MB. They must have been some kind of hybrid format.

This article (from a search including Archives) says they are ISO 9660:
SYSTEM SOFTWARE:
The Apple IIGS Personal computer features Version 5.0.4 of Apple IIGS System Software, including the following:
• GS/OS Operating System. Exclusively created for the Apple IIGS personal computer, GS/OS dramatically increases the speed of both disk access and program launching. It also includes File System Translators (FSTs) that allow applications to directly access files created using other file systems, such as the ISO/High Sierra file system used by CD-ROM devices.

What causes my Apple ID to be disabled?

What causes my Apple ID to be disabled? I realize that it is security related, but it has occurred 4 times in the last 48 hours. I can successfully reset it by answering my security questions, but the frequency is what concerns me.
Is someone trying to logon with my ID? Am I being hacked? Or is it simply my ID being used on multiple devices; iPhone, iPad, Macbook Pro, iMac, daughter's iPod?

It's a phishing attempt, trying to get your login details.
You could forward the email to Apple [email protected]

What does the apple sign mean when sometimes it shows ?

What does the apple logo mean when sometimes i turn it on it just pops up and goes back to normal??

Ayip,
The Apple logo appearing on your iPod nano is your nano's start-up icon. Normally, when you turn off your iPod nano, you are really putting it into a deep or semi-deep sleep, where it is ready to turn on at the push of a button and resume where you left off in your Now Playing list.
If, however, you leave your iPod in a sleep mode for some time , it will shut down. To turn it on again, you'll need to hit the center button (deep and semi-deep will wake up with any button press). When turning the iPod on from a shut down state, it will display the Apple logo while loading your music iPod software.
Hope this helps!
Sincerely,
-FD

No one here would be able to tell you what your passcode is. If it's for airplay then you can reset it if you've forgotten it.

Now, my iMac doesn't display the Mac App Store properly! What's up, Apple?

Okay, I mentioned that my MBP was not displaying the Mac App Store properly... now its my iMac! Stupid blue boxes and unloaded tiles are the problem. Before anyone asks, my Internet connection works well. Anybody else having this problem (see photo)? What's up, Apple?! I'm tired of reloading the page and crossing my fingers. Fix your junky software!
Oh, when you added OS updates to the App Store, that's when problems started. Thanks, Apple!

Well, there's nothing wrong with my ISP or strength of my wi-fi signal. As you can see from the enclosed photo, the signal is very strong at the top of the UI. The picture was taken several minutes AFTER waking from sleep mode and after a page reloading (the Mac App Store actually displayed more icons, prior to the refresh). Additionally, the Mac App Store is slow as heck to load. I don't have any of these problems with any other Internet connected application, including the App Store on my iPad 2! All of the problems are localized around the Mac App Store. Ironically, the app store on my Windows 8 Pro virtual machine runs without a hitch!
Mac App Store icons don't always load correctly w/ strong wi-fi signal
No problem with the Windows 8 store running on a virtual machine using Parallels Desktop 8 (see, no ISP issues!)

Just a reminder... this happens to BOTH of my Macs (MBP & iMac)! My PC, Ubuntu, and Chromium virtual machines run Internet-connected applications without a problem. I hate the Mac App store!
