Why won't my new desk top accept my apple password ? I changed my password and it works on my ipad but I can't get it to accept on my new desktop computer.
my new desk top computer will not accept my password.. i reset my password and it accepted on my ipad but will not take on my desk top.. what can i do.. please help. thank you much
Forgive what may be a dumb question on my part, but you've confirmed that you're typing the Apple ID correctly? Any difference, even an extra space, will cause an error.
If that doesn't help, post back with full details about your setup and the problem, including any error message, and someone may be able to offer additional suggestions.
Regards.

I got a new iPhone 5S. Trying to download apps and iTunes won't accept my password. The password works on my iPAD for installing apps so I know it's right.
Has anyone resolved this problem successfully?Hey there xntricj,
It sounds like you are putting a password for your Apple ID that works without issue on your iPad into your iPhone but get a message saying that the password is incorrect. I recommend the steps from the article named:
iCloud: "Incorrect Apple ID or Password" alert when setting up iCloud after upgrading to iOS 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5207
After completing iOS 7 setup, go to Settings > iCloud.
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then enter your previous Apple ID and password.
If your Apple ID or password are not accepted, follow the steps in iOS 7: If you're asked for your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Hi, I downloaded a TV series straight onto my iPad, I now want to delete the series off my iPad but I can't get the series onto my computer. It has the name of the series but no episodes. Help!
How are you trying to copy them over ? You should be able to copy them over to the TV Shows section of your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases

Hi, I'm a new Mac user and I want 10.8.2 but i can't get that unless I have i have 10.8.1 and I cant get that unless I have 10.8. Now I was wondering if anyone could provide me with a link that would allow me to download this version?
Again, that's not a problem - if you purchase Mountain Lion through the App Store, it's been updated to 10.8.2 - and when there are other updates available, you can just download and install them as well.
Just go to the App Store and purchase and install ML. Then run Software Update (Apple menu) to see if there are any updates available for your machine. I keep my System Preferences>Software Update prefs set to check automatically -
Some people would rather check manually. No big deal, just buy it and install it.

I purchased a used iphone 5 on ebay which a.) had no sim card, and b.) still had a passlock code. tried to activeat the phone via itunesbut as soon as I plugged the phone into the mac, the red and green lights began flashing the the computer then shut down, and will not power back up. Any suggestions??
Return the defective phone to the seller, and hope that it didn't burn out your logic board. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to find out whether it did.

I've tried just about every thread on here and nothing works. I use windows 8.
See this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If this does not work, you will need to remove iTunes completely by the instructions in this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 and then reinstall it. Try the first one I supplied first. -
I usually but all my music over itunes through my ipod. But i cant get the music on my computer's itunes. PLEASE HELP! Thanks!
Hmm. OK.
Good place to go before connecting any "new" device to an iTunes Library is Edit > Preferences > Devices and check Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically.
The device may need to be unlocked from its lock screen before it will connect to iTunes.
Once the device is displayed in the left hand sources pane the menu option Transfer purchases from "<Device name>" should be clickable.
If the device doesn't show there may be unfinished driver updates going on.
Have you authorised this computer (Store > Authorise this computer) yet? I chose the wrong wording earlier and signing into the iTunes store (if indeed that's what you meant/thought I meant) might not achieve the same ends.

My Apple Password is not working on my iPhone but I was able to log in here. Why
Why is my password not working on my phone. Did something change after the software update?
Are these two networks the only networks you connect your iPhone with or try to? Any problem connecting to any other network besides the one at work?
The network is not shown as being available to select, or the network is available to select and when selected there is no connection? If the latter, any error message provided?
Have you spoken with the IT person or Dept. that is responsible for the network? -

I have problems uploading a journal from iPhoto in my iPad, the web page online works on the iPad but I can't open the link on my computer
What did you rent the film on, your iPad or your Mac ? If you rented it on your iPad then it should have downloaded into the Videos app on it (you should get a rentals tab in the app). If you rented it on your Mac then it should be in the Movies part of your Mac's iTunes library, you will have to connect your iPad to your Mac's iTunes and move it from your Mac to your iPad (I think that it should show on the iPad's Movies tab for moving)

I downloaded Mavericks and it won't install. I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for? I never had an administrator password-- I just hit enter and have never had a problem before with previous installations. I'm on an iMac, from 2007, running Mt. Lion (version 10.8.5). I've been looking for other's posts who may be having the same problem, but haven't found any. Can anyone help?
Ugh. The 'no password, no work' thing is a recent Apple development. I ran into it on my system and ended up having to do a clean install on a partition I fully erased.
I suppose, if you have the ability to, go online and look up how to burn a bootable DVD image. Download the 10.8.4 image then use the Disk Utility to make a boot image of it. You'll need a dual-layer DVD or a USB drive (or memory stick at least 8GB) If you've got an optical drive, burn the disk, if you've a USB device, use that.
Then get a pocket drive and copy your important files off the system or let Time Machine do a full backup.
When the backup is done, insert the disk and hold down the C key until the machine boots off of the DVD. At the point you get to the start window, go to the menu and choose the Disk Utility.
In the Disk Utility, reformat the drive. You go to the actual DRIVE (not the Macintosh HD, but the root above it that is the actual hard drive device)
I always do this and *partition* it into several volumes, the benefit being, you can store all of your music, documents and importans stuff on that secondary storage volume you make - it will have it's own index and then the first volume is where you put the OS and it will have it's own index as well. That way, if the OS throws a wobbler and you need to reinstall, you don't lose your data.
Depending on the size of your hard drive, it is good to give your OS partition at least 60GB and optimally 100GB, and the rest for storage.
Name your volumes, use the little box sliders to manually size them or put that number in the size window, select for the format, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and hit Apply and then the Disk Utility will quickly create your new partitions.
Once finished, quit the Utility and it will return you to the OS installer. Select the volume you want to install to and it should start up and install.
Once the installation is done, you'll get the new machine startup then you MUST put in a password for the computer. Once you're in, and to the desktop, don't bother with any Mountain Lion updates, go right to the App Store and get the Mavericks update and let it install the app to your Applicaitons folder, then do that install.
On a side note, there MAY be a way to make a disk image from the Mavericks application and avoid the entire Mountain Lion step.. I honestly do not know, but a bit of hitting the search engines may find out if there is. I think that if you looked for "make Mavericks boot disk or boot image' you may find something.
Good luck! -
New desktop computer for gaming as well as normal stuff
I am looking for a new desktop computer that I could use for gaming--such as League of Legends and anything else I might find in the coming months/years, as well as eventually being able to hook up ps3 games eventually, but probably not right away. I am looking for suggestions on what specific systems to get and/or what specifications for a desktop i should be looking at. I am entirely new at this and could use help from every direction. Any help is appreciated
The biggest things you need to look for are CPU(for gaming and your budget look for Core i7's or AMD x6's), RAM - most gaming computers come with 6-8GB now, and a discrete video card. I am partial to nVidia chips, but an ATI card will work just the same.
As for brand, I prefer ASUS for gaming machines as they do have a gaming line.
Are you going to be looking for a package, monitor, tower, etc? Or do you already have a monitor?
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+Essentio+Desktop+/+AMD+Phenom%26%23153%3B+II+X6+Processor+/+8GB+M...
Just at a quick glance, this is a decent system to kinda base what you're looking for off of. The CPU is decent, good amount of RAM. The graphics could be a bit stronger, though you could always upgrade that.
If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.
I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun. -

I am trying to download iTunes on my new desktop computer (Windows 7, 64 bit). It starts installing, and then stops with the message- "The System Administrator has set policies to prevent this installation." This is a stand alone computer and I am the sole user. Please help.
