There is no more existing file for itunes on my ibook and every time i try and download itunes it says cannot create file. Can anyone tell me what to do please?

Open the General section of Safari's preferences and check where Safari is trying to download files to; if this folder doesn't exist or is in a folder used by the system itself, change it to a location inside your home folder, such as the desktop, or another folder you can write to, such as /Users/Shared/. If the download folder is set to one of these locations and you get that error message, click on that folder in the Finder and then choose Get Info from the File menu. Under Ownership & Permissions, verify that you have read and write access to this folder and that the folder isn't locked, changing the settings as necessary.

I bought this very nice iMac. The first time I ever use a Apple product. Can someone please tell me where the delete key is on the keyboard. I cannot think for one moment that Apple did not provide for such a key. Please help.

The delete key does a backward delete because it is the natural way to delete while typing. May not be to you and the millions of youngsters who grew up with windows computers. When you are typing and want to delete that which you just typed you are already at the end and you delete back to where you want to re-type. When you go back to a document and want to delete a selection, you have to go to the end of the selection instead of the beginning. it's just the way its always been done on macs. it takes some getting use to.
If you select text to be deleted with your mouse then the delete key deletes the selected text. same for either delete key method.
It is not convenient when you tab to fields in a form. That why fn-delete does a forward delete.
Macs have a couple of keyboards. The small "wireless keyboard" only has the (backward) delete (fn-delete forward). The larger "Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad" has both a Delete (backwards) key beside the = abd it has the "delete >" key in the groups with fn, home, end, Pg up and Pg dn. This keyboard is best for users who have switched from windows or are familiar with the windows forward delete.

In Pages, I have white letters in a black background. This is the first time I have used Pages. Is this bizarre format the default?

In Pages I have white letters in a black background. I would like to have the normal black letters on a white background. This is the first time I have used Pages. Is this the default format?

Should we guess what version of Pages? On either Mac or iGadget?
It helps to tell us.

I want to save with alt s in the program Exact Online. This function is not working. this is the first time that i use this program with firefox.

Question
I want to save with <nowiki><alt><s></nowiki> in the program Exact Online. This function is not working. this is the first time that i use this program with firefox.
'''edit''', mod escaped the '''<nowiki><s></nowiki>''' to prevent line through question

Submitted too soon... To change your accelerator key for accesskeys to Alt alone (or a different combination), you can change a setting using Firefox's about:config preferences page.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''ui.k''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Make sure '''ui.key.generalAccessKey''' is set to its default value of -1 (or right-click and choose Reset if it is not).
(4) Double-click '''ui.key.contentAccess''' to open a dialog box to change the value from its current default (on Windows, 5) to your choice of the following:
* 2 = '''Ctrl''' (Fx default on Mac thru Fx13)
* 3 = Ctrl + Shift
* 4 = '''Alt''' (IE/Chrome/Safari default on Win/Linux)
* 5 = '''Alt + Shift''' (Fx default on Windows & Linux)
* 6 = '''Ctrl + Alt''' (Fx default on Mac from Fx14) (Chrome/Safari default on Mac)
* 7 = Ctrl + Alt + Shift
This should take effect as soon as you OK the dialog, so you can experiment in a separate tab. Other combinations are available if you want to try them. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Ui.key.contentAccess (inaccessible at the moment?)

Time Machine back up entire drive the first time it is used?

WWhy doesn't Time Machine back up the entire drive the first time it is used?

If the size of the backup fails to match the size of the used space on the backed up disk drive, it could because of the fact that it only backs up what is needed for recovery of the disk drive. It does not backup Trash, cache files or swap files which could account for the difference.

My account is asking for 2 security question answers. I have never had to do this before. Saying it is the first time I have used this computer to purchase not true I have used this computer everythime. Then it tells me that I put in the wrong answers.

My account keeps asking for 2 security question answers saying this is the first time I used this computer not true used this computer many times. Then when I put ansers in says incorrect answers. What's up with this?

There have a few other posts from people saying that they are being asked their questions despite it not being the first purchase on the computer or device.
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support :http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team :http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

How to reset ipod so it sets up like the first time it is used

hi i have an ipod touch 4g and i am wondering how i can reset it so it is just like it was when i took it out of the package for the first time!

See:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
To restore from iCloud backup:
Go to settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. Then do not connect to computer. Set up the iPod via wifi following the on-screen instructions. You should be offered the option to either set up as new or restore from iCloud backup.

Need help: When installing iTunes on Windows 7, installer is stopping at "Installing Apple Application Support". Can anyone help....this is the first time I am using an Apple product and it sure is not very user friendly!!!

I am trying to install itunes but the installer is not going beyond the "Installing Apple application support" stage,

Do you have any of these programs installed?
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
I had the trouble that if an old #4 or #5 was installed, a full iTunes install did not work.
If you have any of the above installed, try this,

My sister changed our primary apple ID email address and now it wont let me log into iTunes on my phone. How can I fix this?

My sister changed our primary AppleID email address to her email so now I can't log into my iTunes account on my phone. I tired syncing my iphone to my mac and it wont even sync anymore. We share the same account. Is there a way to fix this?

Hello Alexandra,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iCloud on your devices after updating your Apple ID. I recommend the following steps:
Symptoms
iOS 7 may ask for the password to your previous Apple ID when you sign out of iCloud.
Resolution
1. Use your current Apple ID password
Trying using your current Apple ID password. If that doesn't work, continue to the next step.
2. Sign out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime
If you are currently signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
If you are not signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.

I downloaded an app called 'Cinema but instead of promised movies got trailers. Then I deleted it etc A dvised on help page and now it won't reinstall any ideas? Have contacted itunes x 2 but no response and unable to contact app developers.

I bought an app from itunes called 'Cinema' It promised loads of movies but all I got was trailers. No way to contact the developers of the app. So I followed the 'Support' advice and deleted etc and now it won't reinstall. there is no install button next to it!. It was only £6.99 so not a fortune but I'm wary of trying any others now. Where did I go wrong and how do I put it right?

Yeah, I know I can restore it, but I might as well go ahead and try. I just finished a backup for icloud and itunes to make sure, I'll go ahead and restore it and set it up as new and see how that works. Seems like I have no other options at this point, I'd still like to know what they did with the Download tab in itunes store, if they removed it or if I'm just overlooking it.

I am unable to transfer my pictures from iphoto after editing back to my external hard disc. How do I do it. Previously I used Windows and this is the first time I am using a Macbook. Need help and tutorials.. Where can I find em..

Hi there, I am new to Apple Iphoto. I am having lots of problems in transferring my edited photos back to my external Hard disc after editing. How am I able to do it. will it be able to open in Windows OS... Previously I was using Windows and now i m new in using the Apple OS.. Need guidance.. Would really appreciate if any1 of u guys could help me through. are there any other applications that I could use to edit pictures.

Best if you try and explain what you are trying to acheive.
Iphoto is a different paradigm than you're used to. I don't understand why you are trying to transfer your edited photos back to an external disk.
There are tutorials here

I downloaded the latest update and now there is just a plug showing Itunes on screen and it will not open the Ipad....

I just downloaded the latest update on I Pad 2 and now the screen shows the plug and I tunes? It will not start up. I have plugged it in and nothing. It is fully charged.

That means that it's gone into recovery mode. You will have to connect it by cable to your computer's iTunes and that should prompt you to reset it back to factory defaults, you can then restore to your backup (or just resync your content to it)

I've updated a web page and now the links will not open in any browser except safari

I've updated a web site and the links no longer work. I'm using Dreamweaver. The page works perfectly in Safari but not in Explorer or Firefox and I don't know what to change to fix this.
== not sure what to add here

I thought I did post the page. Anyway, I did solve the problem. I'm working in Dreamweaver on files originally created in GoLive. The CSS from GL has to be completely expunged from the file or Firefox has this issue (doesn't respond to links). This, even though the problem had no obvious connection to the linked text. Interestingly, images with links worked fine.
I spent 45 minutes on the line with Adobe tech support and they didn't catch this. But while talking to them it occurred to me.
thanks, Bob
