When I try to update apps on my iPad, it asks me for my mothers password and displays her apple ID. How do I change it to ask for my apple id and password??? I am signed into the store and iCloud with my apple id.

When I try to update apps on my iPad, it asks me for my mothers password and displays her apple ID. How do I change it to ask for my apple id and password??? I am signed into the store and iCloud with my apple id. I am not signed into ITunes, the store on the ipad, or icloud under her name. WIERD???

There is no featured tab in my iTunes store. . . and everywhere it shows me signed in. I had downloaded an app for my mother on HER ipad, and that is the only app I have done for her. It shows up on my phone, and now I cannot update any of my apps. I uninstalled that app on my phone, but when I want to update ones I have installed on my phone with my appleid, she keeps showing up.

When I nudge clips in Premiere CC they will "run over" other clips, how do I change this behavior so the clip will stop when it hits another clip?

Not sure what behavior you are exactly looking for, to move the clip and have it stop and the next clip in the direction of travel, drag the clip with the mouse with Snapping turned on in the timeline.

If you need a GUI to change the owner of a file or files, try BatChMod
Download BatChmod 1.51
Works on 10.5 and 10.6
http://www.macchampion.com/arbysoft/BatchMod/Download.html
Here are similar teminal commands:
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
#Your current user is:
echo $USER
#Let's assume myuser
#Or, you can use the id command.
id
#Remember, this will be the correct userid. You need to find the bad userid.
#You need to look on one of your bad files. To find out your UID and GID do:
cd ~
ls -ln
ls -l
ls -ln filename-of-bad-file
Now, compare the output and write down what you find.
You best use the numeric value of the old userid. In this case it is 501. Before you do a command that will change files, you should list all the files to be changed.   From an administrator account, enter the following command:
sudo find -x / -user 501 -exec ls -l {} \;
# the system will ask for your log on password. Type it in. The letters will not appear on the screen. Then, press the enter key.
# adding a -x before the / limits the search to the current file system which will be your startup partition.
# To stop the display press control-c ( hold down the control key then press c )
mac $ sudo find -x / -user 501 -exec ls -l {} \;
-rwxr-xr-x   1 na unknown 0 Oct 23 2001 /Applications/AppleWorks 6/AppleWorks 6.app/AppleWorks 6
-rwxr-xr-x   1 na unknown 0 Oct 23 2001 /Applications/AppleWorks 6/AppleWorks 6.app/Contents/MacOS/AppleWorks Essentials
-rwxr-xr-x   1 na unknown 0 Oct 23 2001 /Applications/AppleWorks 6/AppleWorks 6.app/Contents/MacOS/Clippings
-rwxr-xr-x   1 na unknown 0 Oct 23 2001 /Applications/AppleWorks 6/AppleWorks
^C
This command will change the ownership of a file.
Any file or folder with a userid of 501 is changed to 1000. Your numbers will differ.
sudo find -x / -user 501 -exec chown 1000 {} \;
#And you need to do this from an administrator id.
More examples:
sudo find -x / -user 501 -exec chown 5464 {} \;
sudo find -x / -group 20 -exec chgrp 211 {} \;
#combined change of uid & gid
sudo find -x / -user 501 -exec chown 5464:211 {} \;
Hope this helps a little.

When I tap on the to line to add an address sometimes people's names come up that I don't have as contacts. How can I change this setting?

When I tap on the to line to add an address sometimes people's names come up that I don't have as contacts. How can I change this setting?

The only way that I know currently know of to remove old or incorrect email addresses from the Mail app is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults, which I assume that you don't want to to. You could try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe one day we'll day be able to edit them : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html#ipad

On job application sites, when I submit, a window opens in encrypted code instead of text. How do I change this to allow the window to display text?

On the various steps to an online job application, when I click on submit, instead of a window with a text file popping up a window pops up with html or computer coding instead of text. How do I change this so I can properly utilize these site processes. I looked for the setting that allows both html and text and it is set to do so.

What is the content of that window?

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

How to ask Siri for directions to my next appointment?

This is making me crazy, and I'm sure I'm just missing something simple: I have an item on my calendar, including the location. I ask: Siri, please give me directions to my next appointment. Siri brings up the appointment - but nothing else. I then ask: Siri, how do I get there? "Get where?", she responds.
I've tried a number of different questions to get Siri to give me directions to a scheduled event, but none have worked. (And, I do know that I don't need to say "Siri" or "please", but it's fun!)
What do I need to ask Siri to get her to pull up either driving or transit directions to my next (or any) appointment/event on my calendar?

Yes this is very frustrating. But mores, because this is such an obvious natural usage of Siri when driving, and easily enough to extract the address from the appointment knowing the context of the question. I'm usually pretty defensive of the aggressive questioning of missing Apple features, but this one should be a no-brainer. And yet it doesn't work. And I need it almost every day.
It seems that the last couple years Siri gets "dumber". I don't casually write that. I'm a fan of my iPhone, but more and more I keep reverting to the Google app and it's voice search instead of Siri because IT JUST WORKS so much better. Except, the google app can interact with the other on-phone apps or data, like your calendar, etc. So we're stuck with Siri, HOPING that it will improve, yet seems to regress in functionality every year. (first it was the removal of WolfframAlpha knowledge base for answering datapoint questions, where now Siri just returns a webpage or wiki, not the answer..)

Is there any way to ask Siri for directions and not have navigation automatically start?

Sometimes I just want to know how far and how to get to a destination without using turn by turn navigation. If i ask Siri how far a place is I get the distance in air miles not driving. So then if I ask how to get there Apple maps opens and begins turn by turn navigation. I would rather ask and then select to start if I want, this is how it works with Google Now. Has anybody figured out a way to do this? If not Apple should make it an option in settings.

Hi there,
If you are publishing to a video format ( .mp4 ) output then it is not possible to insert the interactivity like buttons, or click boxes.
If you have published the .swf, .htm or HTML 5 and if you have embedded a video inside that then that can have a button or click box on the last slide.
Please elaborate more on your requirement and also tell the version of Adobe Captivate and Operating System.
Thanks.

My ipod touch shows up in my itunes with my name but when I go to mycomputer it shows up as someone elses ipod?? Any thoughts on this weirdness would be helpful

When I did an upgrade all the songs were wiped off my ipod touch. Now my ipod shows up with my name in itunes but it shows up in "mycomputer" with someone elses name. It won't sync all the way either, it says the device has timed out.....Help Please?!

That means that iTunes is not seeing the iPod properly. Try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
Also see:

Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates
- Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem

I have a new Mac Mini. When I start it, the message and mail program's open automatically. How do I change this?

When I boot up my Mac Mini, the mail and message program's open automatically. How do I stop this?
I heard that all program's that are open when shutting down, will open again on booting up. I always close all program's before shutting down!

Go to preferences and General and be sure the box is checked that states to close all programs on exit. Also, right clcik your mail icon in the dock and under options be sure the open at login is not checked.

Font size in writing mail is too small for first two lines and then switches to 12. How do I change this to start and stay in 12.

When I want to reply to a message or just compose one, the font size is Times Roman 10 which is too small. After two lines it becomes 12. How can I change the font to start and remain Times Roman 12?

Mail > Preferences > Fonts & Colors > Message font: > Select ... 14
This survives closing and reopening Mail. When you open a New Message window, the body text will now be 14 point.
That's how it works on my iMac with OS X 10.8.1 but it refuses to change when selected on our new MacBook Air with the same OS and Apple Mail version. Is there something about the track pad that it doesn't recognize the click?

Back up all data.
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
          8.8.8.8
          8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
In Safari, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
Notes:
1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must click Apply in order for any changes to take effect.
2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.
