    You only have name, email address, password and a name for the account to enter.

    You got a new laptop? try asking there or in Lion forum.
    If it has Lion, use the Recovery Mode boot Command-R
    Use that to erase and reinstall - it has network install ability.

  • New iMac 21.5". How can I set up a new user account with access to all the files of the original user account?

    Running Mavericks on a 2013 iMac 21.5". I want to set up a second user account with different settings that meet the requirements of specific software. I need the files to be accessible by both users. I have made both the main and secondary accounts administrators. I have also enabled file sharing for both. Neither account can see the other's files in Finder.
    How can I make all files accessible to both accounts? I read that administrator accounts automatically can see all files on the computer, but it is not working out that way. I have restarted the computer, to no avail.

    Comcast only offers POP accounts, and one way to set up the account and enter all the settings before it connects to the mail server, might be to do it Offline:

  • How can I set up a separate Apple account from my husband

    MMy husband and I set up a joint Apple account years ago. Can he keep that account in tact and can I create a separate one? If so how do I do that?

    Jeremy,
    Ten years ago I bought my wife an iPod and set up an iTunes account for her using my name based on the (erroneous) information given me by a salesperson that the name on the iPod and the name on the account had to match, and since I wanted to suprise her by setting it it with some preloaded things, I used my email address and my paypal account.  Fast forward 5000 apps later... I got tired of an email from iTunes for every purchase of every app, magazine, book, renewal ad infinitum, so I told her to log in to the only installed version of iTunes we had (on her computer) and to change the darn email to something else.
    The problem that ensued raised its ugly head when many years later, she got a new iPad Air 2 and an iPhone.  Those she set up with her email address, the very same email address she changed the apple id to in iTunes several years ago.  Recently she contacted support because she was not able to log in.  First of all her password was too short (10 years old, nice and easy to remember) and secondly, the date of birth and secret question answer to the original apple id were unknown to her, since they were my credentials, not hers.
    Both accounts were irretreveably linked in the most unimaginable ways, and the new password she created for herself on her new devices worked half the the time.
    By resetting my password and changing the secret question and removing the billing info (which was my wife's credit card, not mine) I am fairly sure that the two accounts are separate.
    The point of this is that it is essential to make sure the second account has NO items, including email addresses, secret questions etc. in common and I also suggest a separate credit card.
    Here is the wierdest thing thus far - I am sending this from her computer it has the iTunes installation.  Logging in to her apple id, I see every single purchase "I" ever made prior to June of this year, and if I sign out of her apple id and in as mine there are NO purchases at all.  They all were migrated over.  I did not do this nor did I request it, but all the apps etc. now remain on her account, my account has nothing and I do not use my account at all since I have another one I had to create for my employer issued phone. 
    What one should not ever do is change the email address on an apple id without realizing that the id is also an email address and the email addressed it was changed to cannot be used to create a new separate account without a major headache.  And many calls to apple.
    Hope this helps anyone trying to do this!

  • My husband and I share the same I cloud. I want to create a new I cloud for his I phone but it keeps wanting to ask questions about my apple ID and password. I don't want to change my apple ID or password.  How can I set him up a new account w/o changing

    My husband and I have been sharing an I cloud account.  He can't update his phone due to our shared account.  I want to get him a new account and was told to delete the current I cloud account off his phone and just create a new one.  The problem is that it wants to keep accessing the old one.  I don't want my I cloud account changed.  I don't know what to do.  Any advice?

    Did he have find my iPhone enabled under that iCloud account?  If so, add the account back to his phone.  Then in the iCloud account settings, disable find my iPhone first (you will be prompted for your password), then remove the account.
    Now you can create or add a new iCloud account to it using his own AppleID.
    Alternatively, you could log in to your www.icloud.com account in a web browser.  Using the find my iPhone app there, remove his iPhone from your list of associated devices (he will have to power his iPhone off for you to do that).
    After his iPhone is set up for his own iCloud account, on your iPhone, go to
    settings->iCoud->Storage & Backup->Manage Storage and delete his iPhone's backup file to make more room on your own iCloud storage account.

  • How can I set up password-protected Guest account

    Hi everyone
    I need to set up password-protected guest account. The aim is to get:
    a) an account with password. So only authorized person can use it.
    b) all changes in this account should be overwritten at log-off, just like Guest account behaves.
    So I need either to find a way to set password for Guest, either create a 'normal' account and somehow automate it self-cleaning at logoff.
    I tried to run terminal and use
    sudo su
    passwd Guest
    [entering password 123]
    Afterwards I can't login as Guest at all. System doesn't ask for a password, nor logs me in.
    Thx for any help

    This question was asked 2 years ago and still hasn't been answered.
    If there is not a way to add a password to guest account, what is the script that get's executed when the Guest account log's off? I can execute that on an account that I create called 'localGuest' or something like that.
    I have an enterprising member of my family who has figured out that my computer is exempt from the network curfew and they are using Guest to bypass that. I have since disabled guest; however, I do like using the fresh guest environment to test software development.

  • How can I set up a new user account that has access to iPhoto data on Admin account?

    I have set up a new user account for my son.  I have set up his parental controls but I would like him to have access to the data in iPhoto and iTunes from the Admin account.  I do allow him access to the applications with the parental controls, but they are empty.  Thanks for your help!

    Is your regular user an Admin?
    Yes. So is the new account I tried to set up.
    Are these apps installed in the main /Applications folder?
    Yes.
    Are they App Store apps or installs from disc/download?
    Both, but App Store purchases are a clear minority, and aren't much of a problem, due to the ease of re-downloading and activating. The downloaded programs are the ones that present the problems. I have not been good about archiving serial numbers and the like, mostly because I've never had a problem like this before.
    What specific apps are you having trouble with? For instance, I know that MS Office and Adobe CS5 for perfectly well for all users on my MBP.
    This is a very long list. Let me give you some of it, and if you really need all of them, I'll add to the list later.

  • Numbers: how can i set an alias to a file in icloud?

    Hi,
    I moved a table into the iCloud so I can sync it across my devices. That works just fine.
    BUT: Since I work with this file quite frequently, I would like to place an alias on my desktop. I am absolutely clueless on how to do this....any suggestions?
    Thanks!
    Peter

    I think Jerry's suggestion is the best practice.  But if for some reason you don't like opening Numbers first and then opening the document, but always want to just click on an alias on the Desktop, then in Finder while holding down the option key you can Go > Library > Mobile Documents > com~apple~Numbers and find your document, create an alias, and drag the alias to the Desktop (ignoring the warning about removing the alias from iCloud).  Thereafter you can click the alias to open the document synced to iCloud.  It might be best to try this with a test document to make sure you really want that approach.

  • How can i set up a apple id account for my child without a credit card?

    Hi i have set up family sharing but now want to set up a apple id for my daughter. i have attempted to do this but i do not have a credit card only my visa debit card or visa electron. I was wondering if there is any way i can set one up for her ipod with just one of my cards? I really dont want to lie about her age just to create one
    Thank you

    Hey Sonn.80,
    Creating an Apple ID for a child requires the use of a credit card for your payment method in Family Sharing. See this article -
    Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support
    Specifcally -
    Before you begin, make sure that you're using a credit card as your iTunes Store and App Store payment method. To comply with child online privacy protection laws, you will use the CVV or security code from a valid credit card as part of providing your parental consent. If the card on file is a debit card or another payment method, you’ll be asked to provide a credit card before you can continue. After you create the child's Apple ID, you can change your payment method back to a debit card.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Be well,
    Brett L 

  • How can I set up two i tunes accounts on the same i mac for different profiles

    I have set up two profiles on my new i mac. I now want to access two different i tunes accounts but when downloading the second account I get a message saying the computer is already set up with an apple id and if you download you can not auto download !! for 90 days ??? I don't understand this

    Jus don't turn on Autodownload (iTunes prefs > Store).
    Autodownload simply tells iTunes to automaticall download items if you purchase them elsewhere (such as a different computer or iPhone/iPad).
    You can still download them when your purchase them on the computer or go to iTunes store in iTunes, select Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.

  • TS3988 How can I set up a new icloud account with a new apple id when I have an old account for which I have lost the password and security questions etc

    I have changed isp and no longer have access to rescue email addresses and have lost my details. I have set up a new apple id and want to set up icloud with this but cant get past the icloud preferences pane with the old address. How do I get around this?

    Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account (this disconnects the device from icloud but doesn't delete any data on icloud or on other devices).
    If you then want to sign back in using a different ID, do so on the same screen.
