Why do I keep getting a pop up box asking me to enter my apple id and password - and the id in the box is not mine? Is it phishing for my password? How do I get rid of it?

I keep getting a pop up box on my iPhone asking me to enter my password - and the apple id does not match mine. I click 'Cancel' but it keeps reappearing and interfering with other apps. What did I do to get this and what do I do to get rid of it? Is it someone or something phishing for my password? The only app I recently downloaded was PF Chang's and I got that directly from the App Store.

Try signing out and then back in again by going into Settings>Store>Apple ID:>Sign Out>

AVG Antivirus will not let log in page for Webkinz load how do I get around that?

I loaded AVG Antivirus Free Edition on my laptop and I use Mozilla as by browser. When my kids try to go on to the webkinz site it lets them go on the site and do everything EXCEPT log in. I noticed when I disable the AVG it works fine. How do I get around that?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br />

How do I get a pop-up that wants me to enter an apple id for an old email

I have a pop-up that will not let me do anything. I am asked to enter the Apple ID password for an old email. I have since changed to a new email and have a new password that works on my computer and has been updated.

If your old email was used on a website, it may still come up.
If it is related to your Apple ID, then you may not have signed out before changing your ID.

I changed the passcode on my 4G and now I can't remember it. I have to have my phone for work. How do I get it unlocked? PLEASE HELP

Hi-i changed the passcode on my 4G and now I cannot remember it - I must have it for work - can you help me reset it or at least take the passcode off?

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the iPhone from the computer to which the iPhone is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

I'm continually getting a pop-up message on my iPhone asking me to enter my Apple ID password for a email address I no longer use. How do I make it stop?

If you are signed into your current iCloud ID you shouldn't be prompted for the old ID unless there is another service still signed into it. Check the ID in iMessage (Settings>Messages>Send & Receive), FaceTime (Settings>FaceTime), Game Center (Settings>Game Center), the iTunes store (Settings>iTunes & App Store), etc. to make sure you aren't still signed in with the old ID. If you are, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

Also, how can I remove duplicate photos in an album without doing it manually?
Thanks!

When the prompt pops up next time you start iPhoto select Learn more. Then click on iPhoto preferences and select the Accounts tab. Delete your MM account and the quit iPhoto. Next time you open iPhoto the problem should be eliminated.

I can not sync ipod due to 6gb of 'other', how do I get rid of this?

I can not sync ipod due to 6gb of 'other', how do i get rid of this?

Hello drumsdonkey,
Thanks for the question. The following article outlines issues with free space, capacity, and a large amount of "other" space. While it refers to iOS devices, most steps are applicable for your situation as well:
iOS: 'Not enough free space' alert when trying to sync
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1503
One symptom of this issue will be displayed in iTunes where the Capacity indicator for the iOS device will report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the device. To resolve this issue:
- Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
- Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
- Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
- Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
Thanks,
Matt M.

My I Phone got an update and I have now lost my you tube, You tell me that I can down load you tube, can I get the same version, so I don't have to learn something new? Also, how do I get rid of Passbook?

YouTube is no longer native in iOS. There are loads of posts on this, so the search bar can be your friend. There is a YouTube app in the App Store. Download it and you'll have YouTube.
You can NOT get rid of Passbook. It is a new Apple Native App and is built into the iOS. If you don't like it, you can put in a folder or on another page, but you can't delete anything Native.
