    Hi,
    I am wondering how to change the Mac OSX 10.5 from 32bit to 64bit ??
    I can change 10.6 Snow Leopard to 64bit by using the following command but it doesn't recognize by 10.5.
    sudo systemsetup -setkernelbootarchitecture x86_64
    <admin password>
              Note: Restart machine to apply setting.

    Question on iCloud accounts:  I have my iPhone and iPad on one iCloud account, but my Mac is on my old Mobile me account.  Can't figure out how to change my iCloud account on my MacBook Pro so all 3 are synced.

    First, open System Preferences > MobileMe and log out. Then, open  > About this Mac and see Version. If you see 10.5.x or 10.6.x, see > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs If your Mac is compatible, upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and purchase OS X Mountain Lion.

    is now a thing order which is not good then the operating system is unusable.

    Hi,
    For changing the MAC address for Windows 7 is designed with some limitation, we cannot get over it. Thanks for your understanding.
    Under Windows 7, the possible range of spoofed addresses for wireless adapters that can be set is limited.  To be used by Windows 7, a spoofed MAC address should have 0 as a least significant bit (unicast) and 1 as a second least significant
    bit (locally administered) in the second nibble.  Thus possible values for the second nibble are limited to 2, 6, A and E.
    In other words 
    MAC address:  “XY-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX” “X” can be anything hexadecimal.  The hexadecimal “Y”, written in binary format, is  Y:  “kmnp”,  where “p” is the least significant bit; 
    p=0 --> unicast;
    p=1 --> multicast;
    n=0 --> globally assigned MAC;
    n=1 --> locally administered;
    So, actually MAC can be changed  to any combination in which p=0 and n=1;
    “Y” can be 2, 6, A or E.
    So the possible MAC addresses in Windows 7 for wireless adapters:
    X2-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
    X6-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
    XA-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
    XE-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
    For the wifi hotspot issue, please check this blog to see if it can be helpful.

    Created an apple I'd using a wrong e-mail address. Can't access the e-mail to varify the Apple ID in order to be able to change the account settings. Any idea how can change the account information without having to varify the account through the e-mail?

    You are trying to find a loophole to circumvent a basic rule that prohibits the transfer of purchased content from one Apple ID to another.
    Content tied to an Apple ID are bound to that Apple ID forever. You can not merge or trade accounts. Well, not (officially) anyway...

    I suddenly recieved 6 'How to change your Apple ID password' emails, even though I haven't been on the Apple site in months....should I be concerned that someone is trying to use my account?

    I wouldn't be too concerned. The most likely cause is that someone is attempting to login and made a mistake in entering their Apple ID and typing yours instead. So, they are getting an error and offer to reset their password. But the email that generates is being sent to the real owner of the Apple ID they are entering, you. If you are really concerned, you can go to the Apple support site and reset your password yourself to be on the safe side.

  • How to change my iCloud account with only access to the Apple ID

    Hello everyone
    Im using my previous company ipad and i dont have access to the registered iCould account.
    How to change my icloud account to a new email account that i own.
    I have access to the Apple ID Account but i dont have access to the iCloud account in it.
    The Security Question was made by the tech admin of the company not by me, so not even that way its possible.
    Thank You in advance,
    Frederico

    I wish Apple improves this Security measures so that it lets remove features with both logins, Apple or iCloud credentials.
    Also the iCloud needs improvements, it should use the Apple ID not some other different login. The email part of icloud should be in iCloud but most people don't use iCloud mail so the rest of the features should be in the same email credentials as Apple ID.
    This way im not sure if i take the risk on Restoring the iPad, i could end up beeing locked out of my own device.
    All this hierarchic credentials are confusing. I would only need the Apple ID that is being used on the iPad to clean it up or turn off options like iCloud account currently on the device.

  • HT1689 I changed my Apple Account ID on an authorized PC and have made several downloads using the new ID. However when I tried to access my account using my iPad, the pop-up still carry's the old ID. Ow do I synchronize the changes on my account with hte

    Please help with information on how to change the account ID on the pop-up log on request page on my iPad? I changed my account ID in the iTunes Store using my authorized PC. Renewing subscriptions directly from my device may prove impossible if I cannot acces my apple account on my device except through my PC. What do I do to harmonize the new name on my PC and on the iPad?

    If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad.

  • I bought a used iphone can someone tell me how to change the apple id on phone please. Thank You!

    I bought a used iphone yesterday and it has a apple id on it and I need to know how to change that apple id over to my id. I do not have the password for the previous owner. Can someone please help me with this? Thank you!

    Removing data is all or none, and "forgetting" to do so before selling your phone is no "small thing" - it's like selling your purse with your wallet and credit cards still inside.
    So I am afraid you were not very helpful!
    Every day there are posts from people with obviosly found or stolen iPhones who mysteriouly "forget" their passcode (or forget to obtian it from the prior owner) and who somehow don't have access to the computer the phone was synced with, looking for help to gain access to the phone.  I'm not interested in helping others boost iPhones.

  • I recently changed my apple ID but my previous apple ID is associated with my icloud account. I'm setting up my new iphone 6 and cannot complete the set up until I can sync my icloud account. Does anyone know how to change the icloud id?

    I recently changed my apple ID but my previous apple ID is associated with my icloud account. I'm setting up my new iphone 6 and cannot complete the set up until I can sync my icloud account. Does anyone know how to change the icloud id?

    Do the following:
    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iPhone and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your phone).

    Yes, it should work.  They are still purchases under that account.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • HT201269 How to change the email address associated with an iPhone account?

    How to change the email address associated with an iPhone account?  I inherited my son's phone and it still shows his phone number even though I can add my own email account.  My iCloud is also associated with his phone number.

    If you mean you want to change the iCloud ID your phone is signed into on your phone (which looks like an email address), you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. 
    If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    No, your accounts will remain separate, any content that you download via either account will be tied to that account - so each account will only be able to authorise its own downloads on your computer's iTunes, redownload them, download updates to its apps, and make in-app purchases in its apps.
    Is there are particular reason why you've created a new account ? If it's due to, for example, no longer having access to your old email account then you can update the email address on an account by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and selecting 'view apple id' on the popup and logging into it, via the Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes (click the Edit button to the right of your id at the top of your account's screen), or via http://appleid.apple.com . If you want to re-use the email address on the account that you've just created then you will need to change that first
