The username is the name attached to your Home folder - /Users/username/. If you don't know the password then it can be changed but you will need the installer DVD that came with the computer for the installed version of OS X. You have not provided that information.

I wanna ask about my iMessages, because everytime that I am using my apple ID it is always saying that my username and password was incorrect.But I am really sure that I have input the correct username as well as my password.How can I resolve this problem?
You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them. -
I am selling my Mac Mini. I recently purchased OS X Lion. When I restore to factory settings, how can I ensure that the operating system will still be Lion, and not the original operating system, which I believe was Snow Leopard?
If you bought Lion from the App Store, you can't legally or practically transfer it, because it's tied to your Apple ID. Reinstall the original software from the discs that came with the machine.

I have a 24" imac model 9,1 running OS 10.6.8 and I am experiencing frequent freezes and crashes. How can I solve this problem?
HalAs old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
You are now in a perfect position to do a
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.
Here is a link to a Widget to monitor your temps and other operations:

since you are running 10.6.8 did you install the combo update?
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
It is more stable than the regular version.
You could use your original install disc and boot from the disc, run Disc Utility and do a repair disk. -

The issue is that it is tied to your friends Apple ID and not yours...
Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID. -

I Am trying to make an "in app" purchase when I press buy it tells me that I have already downloaded this purchase, then I get a message that the purchase failed. How can I resolve this issue?
When an app is downloaded under an Apple ID it is permanently tied to that Apple ID. The only option is to de

I have set up a Time Warner email account in Mac Mail but can't send email with this account because the Road Runner SMPT server is "offline." How can this be resolved?
Is this any help?

The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
Outgoing ports are...
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users. -
I'm afraid my iPhone 4S has a virus or has been hacked. Just in the last day or so my battery life gets used up a lot faster and I have all of a sudden started receiving a lot of spam email. How can I find out if my phone has been compromised?
Unless you left the iPhone in the possession of another person it could not be hacked...and unless it has been jailbroken it cannot get a virus.
An email account can be hacked at the service provider's end...this has happened a number of times with gmail.
Do a reboot, hold both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if that appears.
If that does not help the battery situation, make a backup of your content and then restore to factory condition, Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings, and then restore from the backup you just made.
Contact your email service provider and let them know you are getting material that could mean they have been hacked. -

I tried to set up icloud on my iphone 4 and I get this message that "the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iphone". My iphone was used by someone else before I got it. How do I deactivate these accounts or overcome this problem?
You were trying to create a new Apple ID for icloud. But once the device reaches is max allowed to create IDs then you can't create more. That's your situation now. To create a new account you must use another device or computer.
You can't deactivate or turn back the clock. -
Will I get a refund I really just want the missing episode. What a rip!
I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.) -
My Mac OS X 10.9.2 is unable to read any disc since I updated the operating system to Marverick a few months back. How can i resolve this problem because I need to retrieve very important information on my discs. Help! Thank you... paul
Paul,
Your problem has nothign to do with your installation of Mavericks. I assume you are referring to your SuperDrive not being able to read any discs, is that correct? If so then please advise what troubleshooting steps you have taken? -
I know Apple doesn't like us to crack the case, but if I want to upgrade to mavericks, I need 2Gig memory. I have plenty of available space on my hard drive.
First if you have not already done so, check to see if your Mac Mini model meets the requirements...?
see > Apple - OS X Mavericks - Read the technical specifications.
Then for RAM, go to > Memory, Drives, Free Installation Guides for Apple Mac mini and select your model.
In addition to the OWC guides, go to > Mac Mini Repair - iFixit, again select your model and click on the RAM guide. -
My Mac mini OS is a 10.6.8 and after paying for Adobe premiere 13 download I realized that my computer needs to be 10.8 or greater.. I thought that I had read that 10.6.8 was enough but I must have been mistaken.. Any suggestions or am I out of luck?
See if this helps:
Return, cancel, or exchange an Adobe order
