HT4436 Is there a way to connect my iCloud acct. so that my regular email address is my user name instead of the .me email address? I don't even know how to access my very old .me address.

Anyone know if you can replace your .me email address for your regular email address? I'm trying to set up my iCloud acct. on my iPhone but the default email adddress is my .me email which I never used and do not know the password for. When I use the Forgot Password link, it sends to my .me email address
and I never used it and don't know how to access that address. Arg. Anyway to clean slate and permanently eliminate the .me thing?

I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places.  I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file.  There must be something else that's missing.  My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive.  If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
My back-up drive is a mess.  I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={  Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period.  I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive.  Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me).  As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"

  • Is there any way to connect with iCloud

    I have a 15" Mac Book Pro running Snow Leopard and a 13" Mac Book Pro running Lion. I have My 13"MBP, my iPhone and my iPad connected to iCloud but am now unable to get my email from my mac account to my mail program on my 15" MBP. Any ideas?

    Have you followed Apple's guidance to setup your Snow Leopard Mail account using IMAP?
    iCloud: Mail server information

    If that doesn't work, search for detailed instructions.  There are plenty of posts that describe success connecting iCloud email, calendar, etc. to Snow Leopard.

  • Is there any way to set up an Airport Extreme that had been previously used in a password protected network and the password was not provided by the seller ?

    Background -
    My original Airport Extreme Base Station failed (would not connect to the modem). I purchased a similar, if not identical base station on eBay. Unfortunately, the purchased base station apparently was used in a password protected network. For what it is worth, my son gave me a Netgear wireless router, but it leaves a lot to be desired. For one thing, I use to keep the cable modem in the basement along with the Airport base station, with a printer connected to the USB port. The Netgear device does not have a USB port and also requires that the computer (in this case, the eMac) used to set up the network be connected to one of the ethernet ports. This meant I had to move the cable modem and router into my bedroom, a very undesirable situation. It then occurred to me that the original Airport base station Wi-Fi function might still work, and tested this hypothesis and sure enough, the Wi-Fi function does indeed work I currently have both base stations powered on, with my printer connected to the original. Both base stations appear under my Network icon, but neither Airport Utility 5.4.2 or Airport Administrator Utility 4.2 see either base station. I can select the original base station as my network, connect to the printer or even my other computers, but as soon as I try to select the new one, it asks for the password. I would like to somehow reset this base station and then redefine the network name and encryption.

    I would suggest that you perform a "soft" reset on the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) that you just got from eBay. This type of reset will temporarily (5 minutes) disable both the base station and wireless security passwords so that you can access it with the AIrPort Utility to make the necessary changes.

  • When I updated my firefox a quiz (from firefox) came up and then I lost connection. How do I get the quiz back? I don't even know what it was for...

    The quiz had something to do with customizing. The quiz popped up as a tab when I opened firefox after the recent update.

  • HT4437 is there a way to connect my ipad with airplay to more than one airplay enabled speaker? at the moment it allows me to connect to only one?

    is there a way to connect my ipad using airplay to more than one airplay enabled speaker?  when i tap the airplay icon on my ipad i see the list of all the speakers in each room but i can only connect to one at a time. Itunes, on my laptop, allows me to connec to all of them at the same time but Music on my ipad allows me to choose only one speaker at a time. Can several be connected at the same time using Music on Ipad or iphone?

    That's great, but not what we want to do. I've been looking at all the boards for a solution to this and, you are correct. There isn't one - at least not one native to iOS. What I think EricB2 would like, as well as many of us, is the ability to take any audio stream (pandora, tune-in radio, etc.) and stream directly to multiple airplay devices from our iPads and iPhones without having to use the computer. Just walk into the house from the car, hit a button on the iDevice and start listening to the same stream we were listening to in the car on all of our home speakers. I know, this is like science fiction.  My own opinion is that it would cut into Apples lucrative iTunes business model and really isn't in their best interest, so I don't think it will be happening anytime soon. Bottom line is if you want to use your Apple devices for whole house streaming, you need a computer and music from iTunes($$). Otherwise it's $$ out of Apples pocket.

  • Is there a way to connect an old Sunflower iMac (OSX 10.4.11) to a new Time Capsule?  It used to work with old Airport Extreme with updates thru Snow Leopard but now seems to only allow WEP encryption instead of WPA.

    Is there a way to connect an old Sunflower iMac (OSX 10.4.11) to a new Time Capsule?  It used to work with old Airport Extreme network, run from a intel iMac with updates thru Mavericks but now seems to only allow WEP encryption instead of WPA and can't connect to Time Capsule.  Airport Extreme Base was controllable from either computer up through Snow Leopard (I didn't do any of the Lion upgrades).  Then when I upgraded to Mavericks I lost the ability to use Airport Utility with this hardware on the Sunflower but could still connect wirelessly to network without any problems.  But now with the Time Capsule upgrade the Sunflower is blocked from network by a dialogue that requests ony WEP password, not WPA pwd used by Time Capsule.  Neither can I use the old airport extreme base to extend the time capsule network since I can't input the correct password/encryption approach to join it.  Is there a work around?  Would a newer but old Airport Express be able to extend network to Sunflower?  Or maybe a third party wireless (such as Netgear, Dlink, etc) that has browser type control rather than special utility?
    Another question--before I used MAC addresses to control who could access network.  Now on Time Capsule I don't see anything about this--so is it true now that the only access control is via WPA2 pwd now (which appears to be the encryption pwd and not the time capsule pwd)?

    Is there a way to connect an old Sunflower iMac (OSX 10.4.11) to a new Time Capsule?
    I can’t claim to completely grasp the issue(s) you’re describing, but the underlying problem is presumably your iMac’s obsolete AirPort card. Whatever the case, an obvious (if not particularly helpful) answer to your stated question would be to connect your iMac with an ethernet cable, using powerline adapters as an alternative if you don’t want to have wire running all over the place.
    My still fully functional clamshell iBook, with an original AirPort card, connects wirelessly to my 4th Generation TC network by means of a cheap 802.11b/g/n USB Wi-Fi adapter. This might be an option for you too.
    Another question--before I used MAC addresses to control who could access network.  Now on Time Capsule I don't see anything about this
    When you edit your TC's settings the access controls appear under the Network tab, don't they?

  • Is there any way to connect a Kindle 3G wifi to apple router

    Is there a way to connect Kindle 3g wireless ot Airport Extreme?

    There has been a lot of posts on the amazon forums from various people alleging the kindle does not connect properly to an airport base station. If this ever happens you can always run airport utility to get the " equivalent network password " and type that into the kindle.
    Run airport utility
    Double click on the airport on the left side
    At the very top of your display click on base station
    Click on equivalent network password
    Type the WPA Pre-Shared Key into the kindle 3 instead of your regular wifi password

  • Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.,

    Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.

    Absolutely!
    Install Splashtop2 on the PC and enable it to be controlled or ran from iPad or Reflection to simply allow iPad to serve as PC unwired monitor. With Splashtop and an Apple TV connected, you use the smartboard as usual, yet the PC and iPad can see the same content. The impaired child can even interact with the Smart Board via the iPad as if he were writing directly on the big screen. Erasing functions can be done by touching the Smart Board manual controls. Several variables are in play that cause this lack of functionality:
        Apple won't permit PC software that infringes its proprietary apps.
        Smart Board companies refuse to develop iPad apps because they feel threatened and are being replaced by iPads
        School districts think Apple TV is meant for copyright infringement and could expose them to safe harbor lawsuits
        Network administrators make it impossible to login Apple TVs because they don't want the streaming occurring
        Classrooms are not able to keep up with the technology of using the iPad
        Clicker companies refuse to play with iPad because they see it as a potential threat to their core business clients
        Apple is not working as hard as it could to exploit its capabilities in education, thus losing money in iPad sales
    The bottom line is that we educators and technology developers are hurting our childern with petty conflicts.

  • Is there a way to connect an external speaker (for another room) through the headphone port

    Is there a way to connect an external speaker (for another room) through the headphone port  & still hear sound through the internal speakers?  System Preferences/Sound/Output or Sound Effects allows you to use one or the other  --  headphones or internal speakers.  I would like to have the option of hearing music through the internal speakers in one room, & through an external speaker in another room at the same time.  I also do not want to frequently disconnect/reconnect the external speaker from/to the headphone port as I know over time the connection could become loose.  (10.7.4  Lion)

    dont think so but I could be wrong
    as it were I didn't like the build in audio so I connected some external logictech 2.1 speakers  but there
    are times when I use headset so I bought this one
    or any minijack splitter will work too so I have 2 things connected to the headset port works just fine

  • Is there a way to connect ipod to computer to charge but NOT sync

    I've recently purchased an ipod nano 4gig. I also have an apple universal dock. We've recently set up a new soundsystem in our business to run off of the ipod dock. The dock doubles as a charging station, which weneed since it will be running all day for 9 hours a day. I have a few problems.
    1 - My computer will not start when I have the ipod dock connected (with the ipod in the dock). It turns on... but then stops booting up. Not until I unplug the ipod dock usb connection will the computer then start.
    2 - When I then plug the USB cord back in once my computer is up and running, it goes into the "connected" mode, and can not play. not until I "eject" it through itunes. Is there a way to STOP it from going into that "connected" mode. The only reason why I have it connected is to charge it while its playing, thats it. I know I can go through the steps of opening itunes, clicking eject, then starting the ipod to play... but its a business with many staff of varing ages and technical abilities... some people simply wont "get it".
    Is there anything I can do other than spend another $30 and instead of connecting the ipod dock to the computer to charge, buy a wall charger for the ipod and connect it to a power outlet instead?

    1 - My computer will not start when I have the ipod dock connected (with the ipod in the dock). It turns on... but then stops booting up. Not until I unplug the ipod dock usb connection will the computer then start.
    This can happen with some Windows PCs depending on how the start up is configured.

    If you had the iPod set to manage the content manually you could play the songs on the iPod through iTunes.
    With the manual setting, the songs on the iPod would shown in bold type and be selectable/playable when clicking on the iPod in iTunes. The iPod would also still be receiving a charge.

  • Is there any way to connect disabled iPad to network via external software?

    Hello,
    My iPad is disabled because of a Bluetooth mishap (my keyboard in my coat pocket tried to enter my password too many times). So I can't enter my password on the screen. Unfortunately I didn't back up the last few weeks of documents in any way, via either iCloud or syncing. And I just can't erase all the work I've done--it's irreplaceable to me.
    Is there any way to connect the iPad to a WiFi network through external software, maybe using the lightning connector?
    I ask because in iCloud I marked the iPad as Lost (in Find My iPhone), so I may get another chance at entering my password if the iPad can get online to receive the signal. But because it's disabled it won't connect to a network.
    Many thanks for any help!

    Not a big surprise unfortunately...  time to get an iPhone I guess!
    Thanks for the answer Sir!
