    Might I suggest a password reset?
    Maybe you can click on the Reset Password link instead of trying to log in at appleid.apple.com.
    I'm not sure if that would work, but its worth a try.

  • I went on the Comcast web site to pay my bill yesterday. I know that Comcast has upgraded much of their web site. When I tried to click the link to view my bill details, it opened up a list of items on my computer.

    I was able to pay the bill, just not open up bill details. I contacted Comcast & they could not help me to get it to work. So I tried it on Internet Explorer and it worked perfectly. It used to work on Firefox. Can you tell me how to get it to work? I prefer Firefox to IE, but I have to use IE for this web page.. I am using Windows 7.

    You can reload the page and bypass the cache with:
    * Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
    * Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    * Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

  • HT4528 im trying to download an app on my new ios 7 update and it popped up something that said i need to accept to the following to procede download so i clicked on that and it popped up the page and when i tried to click send me an email to accept it it

    There must be a problem with the app store right now as a number of people seem to be having this problem right now.  Try purchasing it using iTunes on your computer, accept the terms and conditions there, then either sync it to your phone or download it on your phone as a past purchase (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).

  • I have four devices on one Apple ID, i have separate emails and phone numbers for each device but when I tried to add one to my iPod, it said that the email was already in use.

    I have four devices on one Apple ID, i have seperate emails and phone numbers for each device but when I tried to add one to my iPod, it said that the email was already in use.  I have tried many things and the only guess I have is that either someone else has this email as their iMessage but is fake or it wasn't taken off my old iPod when I reset it.  Any ideas on what to do?

    Thanks but that doesn't give me the information I need.  I am putting an email on my ipod for people to contact me for iMessage and FaceTime but when I put the email in, it gives me an error saying that the email cannot be veirified because it is already in use.  My Apple ID can be varified, just not the email that they will contact me with.

  • I participated in getting the free download of Mountain Lion for new Mac owners. It took me three days to finally get a code to do it and when I tried downloading it, the estimated time was 74 days 17 hours. Now an error occurred. What do I do?

It took me three days to finally get a code to do it and when I tried downloading it, the estimated time was 74 days 17 hours. Now an error occurred. What do I do? I am very frustrated and just want the great software to download in a resonalbe time!

    Take your Mac to a location with a fast, relaible Internet connection that will be all yours during the duration of the download.
    If you want to complain, PLEASE call Apple and do so.
    Internet only downloads of OS X is completely stupid, it assumes everyone has reliable Internet everywhere and /or no data caps.

    But I cannot find any solution.
    Please Help!

    Hello,
    After some troubleshooting finally I opened a case to Microsoft, finally we solved the error:
    I cleared the configuration cache:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jamesway/archive/2011/05/23/sharepoint-2010-clearing-the-configuration-cache.aspx
    With this I could execute the wizard without any problem and the problem was solved.
    But if with this the problem is not fix, Apart from that, you can check this:
    Apparently, Microsoft change the number version of the SP1, then if you have the first sp1 versión, you will have problems with the wizard because is looking for the newer version.
    The first SP1 number version was:
    15.0.4569.1506
    The currently SP1 version is:
    15.0.4571.1502
    You can check your versión with this script:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/stefan_gossner/archive/2015/04/20/powershell-script-to-display-version-info-for-sharepoint-product-and-language-packs.aspx
    Finally if you have the first version the solution is download SP1 again (newer) and install it again (it is not necessary unistall the currently SP1) When you finish, try to execute wizard again and everything will work fine.
    Hope this helps!

    Not unless they're doing something new with it. If your OS is completely up-to-date, you need not worry about Flashback in any case.

    Error 16 when I update my iPhone 5s showed me stuck on recovery mode and whenever I got error 16 Restore thing is the problem?

    Hello Meysam321,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with your device. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
    Check for hardware issues
    Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
    These errors mean that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
    Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
    Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
    Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
    If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    BobbyD
