HT1373 I originally used iTunes and loaded my personal music to it when I got an iPod Shuffle long ago.  I have now migrated from Windows environments to a MacBook Pro.  My old iTunes account is associated with a dead email address at HP. How do I move it

I am trying to get an old iTunes account reactivated for my new MacBook Pro.  Originally I had iTunes for my iPod Shuffle and connected to it with a Windows laptop.  I have dumped Windows in favor of Mac OS and now have a MacBook Pro with iTunes installed.  I want to get at the 100s of songs I had out on iTunes but my email address for the old account is no longer active (was a work account and I have since retired).  How do I get a new email address (and ID) assigned into my old account so I can access it and get at my music?

Unfortunatly, you can't. I had the problem with an iPod classic and looked into it. You could make a new apple account and transfer it to that, but thats it and even that isn't garenteed to work.

  • Z10 BBM account not associated with Blackberry ID email address

    BBM was operating just fine until yesterday afternoon. I began receiving "BBM setup" prompt. The Blackberry ID is not being recognized which then throws an "email address not vaild" prompt. Then there is a "Temporary Server" error.
    I have edited and adjusted my Blackberry ID as well as resetting the password. These changes seem to make it to the device itself, as indicated in the Settings/Blackberry ID field.
    IF my contacts BBM me, I do see the entry in HUB (first line only). IF i try to reply, the BBM setup screen launches again - only to fail on the email address associated with the BB ID. All other BB services seem to be working fine.
    It is disappointing to have issues like this with flagship software on a brand new device.
    Any ideas on a fix for this?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I did not lose my contacts but my carrier support could not confirm prior to executing the above steps.
    I believe the reason your carrier is handing off to Blackberry on this is because the Blackberry ID is managed by Blackberry, not the carrier (I am not 100% on this). As such, they can't authenticate the BBID. That can be handled directly by the user here: http://ca.blackberry.com/bbid.html. Permission issues are always a pain.
    IF BBM won't behave following the solution that worked for me, I would call your carrier one more time and ask them to escalate the service tag to Blackberry. Without the service tag, its tough to get action. This allows the carrier to hand you off and creates the support trail needed for effective resolution. Push to get the service tag.
    In my experience on this, there was enough "grey area" for all support techs involved that Blackberry would be well suited to increase the knowledge base/training/support  to provide a smoother resolution. When support tells the user that the main messaging platform, for the top end device, won't function and "there is nothing we can do about it", I believe the user has not been serviced appropriately.

    You can't do this, and you can't transfer purchases between accounts. There is no conflict about using one ID for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match (the ID you've been using for iTunes) and using the other ID for iCloud.

  • My email address has changed and when I try to play purchased songs it asks me to authorize another computer under the old email address.  How do I play the music that I have purchased?  My account is current with the new email address.

    You may have already done this, but try de-authorizing your computer (through the iTunes:Store menu) and then re-authorizing it.

    You can log out of the account on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then tap 'sign out' on the popup - you can then sign in with your account/
    If you synced any of your mum's apps to the iPad from your her computer then they will be tied to her account, so only her account will be able to download updates to her apps

  • How to find out which list is associated with specific incoming email address

    Hey Guys,
    I've a received a request today from a user asking me which list was setup with a specific incoming email address.
    Is there a way to find out which list is associated with an email address?
    Thanks

    OK after a bit of research I found a way to achieve this.
    I simply looked up the email address in ADUC, then did a search in SP with the display name. I could locate the list and manually confirm it was configured with the incoming email address I was looking for.
    I also found the below script on Stackoverflow, but got "The 'using' keyword is not supported in this version of the language." when I tried to run it. Any idea how to fix that? I'd like to have a script to link a library to an email address istead of the
    manual approach described above.

  • When I migrated the contents of my iMac to my new MacBook Pro (both running Lion), I ended up with duplicate icons in the launchpad. How do I get rid of them?

    When I used migration Assistant to transfer stuff from my iMac to my MacBook Pro, both running the latest update of Lion, I ended up with duplicate icons in the Launchpad. How do I correct this situation. Some can be deleted using the iPad method of holding down an icon until they all jiggle and then clicking the "X" to delete. However, most do not have x's appear next to them. Otherwise, the migration seemed to go okay.

    Launchpad will display an icon for each copy of an application that is currently installed (as well as any aliases to those applications), so you will see more than one icon for an application if you have more than one version of the application installed or aliased. So did you create any aliases of these apps on your old computer? If so, delete them.

  • I can't access my iCloud account because my primary email is dead. I want to change my ID for the one associated with my current email address.

    I can't verify my icloud account because the email associated with it got deleted in a messup by the email provider. I made a new ID with another email address, but I don't seem to know how to set it as my iCloud account. Apple insist on asking me a password for my old account, I enter it, but it says it is incorrect. I have tried to fix it, and apple knows it is there as it appear on the list of apple ID's, but doesn't recognice the password and when I try to reset the password it gets me to my new account, which needs no resetting.
    All I want is to get rid of that old account and replace it with my new one in order to use the cloud, but it seems I am stuck with a non funtioning user ID. I have tried everything there is on this pages, but nothing works.
    Please, tell me, step by step, how can I remove the old user ID from the icloud account for good and replace it with my new ID on all my devices.
    Thank you.

    Welcome to the Apple community Yao.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • How do I delete an old icloud account off my phone if the email address had been hacked and the password has been changed?

    My old email was hacked and since then my passwords have been changed. I have a new apply ID which if fine, but my phone is asking me for my old apple ID password before I can delete it from my ICloud. The problem is I cant reset the password and my birthday verification isnt working. I am unable to do anything in icloud because it is forever telling me my password is wrong. my new apple ID seems to be working on every other part of my phone. Any ideas what to do?

    Well you can try this, but I'm not sure it's going to work if this is an entirely new ID.
    Go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap 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 iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then 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.

  • Can't access pre-existing Behance portfolio because it's associated with a different email address than my Adobe ID

    I have a Behance profile of long-standing as ChrisARaymond, and multiple projects, all connected to a gmail address. Now I cannot access it because my Adobe ID is connected to a different email address. I get an endless loop as Behance refuses to let me sign in with my old credentials, and when I sign in via AdobeID, my profile and projects are empty.
    Did your programmers think through what you were doing before you implemented this? It's beyond ridiculous.

    This is simply and utterly one of the most inconsiderate of all Adobe takeovers. Did you not think artists that use Adobe products might have accounts already with Behance? You have screwed us. Not only that, there is NO way to talk to anyone about how to fix this. I do NOT see anything in this forum on how to fix, why? Big corporate decisions and more money. You suck Adobe.

  • Need to combine two accounts I opened with two different email addresses

    How do I combine two of my accounts that I have different email addresses for?I can open both separately but can't sych my I pod with all my music.

    This an outline of what i did.
    (i did the screenshots using a much smaller version of the image than you posted)
    1. First you want to put both images into the same documents as layers.
         You could open both photos and then drag one into the other from the Photo Bin.
    2. With the layer that just has the scoreboard selected, use the Quick Selection Tool to select just the scoreboard.
          Then right click inside the selection and press Layer via Copy, which puts just the scoreboard on a layer.
             (named sign in the screenshot)
    3. Move the sign layer below the picture with you in it by dragging in the layers panel.
           Then use the Quick Selection Tool to select the over exposed scoreboard, go to
           Select>Inverse and then press the Add Layer Mask button at the bottom of the layers panel.
           The layer mask hides the overexposed scoreboard.
    4. Select the layer with just the scoreboard and using the Move Tool, position the scoreboard
          so you can see it through the hole the layer mask made.
          Go to Image>Transform>Distort and move the corner handles of the bounding box to fit the new scoreboard
          in position.
    Optional stuff:
    Use the Clone Stamp Tool to clone around the cutout scroreboard to get rid of some of the highlights
    Apply an Inner Shadow layer style to the scoreboard (sign) layer
    If your going to send the photo by email or other means to someone else and resize the photo smaller, add some sharpening by selecting the top layer, pressing Shift+Ctrl+Alt+E to merge everthing into a new layer, select you,
    add a layer mask and use one of the sharpening filters under Enhance>Unsharp Mask or Adjust Sharpness
