I'm setting up a PC for someone else and I have to access my iCloud account from this new system

All I want to do is get into my iCloud account from a different system (pc) that is new so I can set it up. it is so locked up with "we need your name" that I hate buying anything with new OS. It;'s all in your bank account on your street in your bedroom. invasive.

If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new 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, 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.

  • HT5552 Why can't I make an in app purchase on my ipad. I'm trying to buy something for 49.99 and I have 50.00 on my account from a gift card I just bought.

    As RG says, if you're in the US, you haven't allowed for the sales taxes charged by your city and state. You'll need to buy something less expensive, add a credit card, or redeem an additional iTunes card.

  • I traded my iphone in and now have a new one (iPhone 5) with the same SIM.  Since, I have had some iMessages meant for someone else and some strange things happening on my phone (applications opening by themselves, calls disappearing from log). Any ideas?

    The answer is very simple: You were not the original owner of the phone. Target sold you a phone that had been returned. You can verify the date of the original sale here: Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage. I suspect you will find that the warranty expiration date is not one year from the date that you bought it.

    Yes, you can. Sites published with BusinessCatalyst or to an FTP host can be edited by clients. Here is a short tutorial about the new In-Browser Editing feature: In-browser Editing | Adobe Muse CC tutorials

  • TS3988 Someone else's email shows up on my iCloud account

    Someone else's email shows up on my iCloud account. How do I get the email removed?

    Hi
    Go to setting -> reset -> reset all content and setting. And to avoid this to happen again, after using your apple Id go to setting -> general -> restriction -> account and change from "allow changes" to "never allow changes". I even turn off itunes and app stores in restriction, i only turne them on when i need to download something and soon after finishing i turn them back off for safety.

  • I was able to create a digital signature for someone else and use it. How is that protected??

    I was able to create a digital signature for my boss who's on vacation using his email address. I figured when I used the signature he would get some sort of email confirmation letting him know, but he got nothing. So it seems like I could create a signature for anyone and use it on any document without their knowledge. What's the protection against anyone creating a signature for anyone else and using it whenever?? Am I missing something??

    A digital signature can not be used to verify someone's identity. I can create a signature using anyone's name and email address. In fact, those things are irrelevant to the signature. The only thing that matters is the key used to create it, and therefore to verify it.

  • Setting up an ipad for someone who doesn't have a computer

    I want to get my parents an ipad but they don't have a computer.  I'm happy to use my computer but I don't want to mess up my own itunes account.  Any pointers on how to do this would be appreciated.  They are both in the late 80s so making them tech savvy at this point is out of the question but I think many of the aps will be very stimulating for them.  My plan is to set them up with email addesses, load some good aps and give it to them ready to go.

    You no longer need a computer to set-up an iPad. It can all be set-up from the iPad as long as you have a wireless connection:

  • HT3529 i am receiving messages intended for someone else and can also see their replies

    Hi
    I am receiving messages on my phone intended for the wife, but i can also see her replies to the person
    how is this?

    They are iMessages & this is happening because you both use the same Apple ID for iMessage, iCloud & FaceTime. One of you needs to get a separate Apple ID & use that for iMessage, FaceTime & iCloud. You can continue to use the same Apple ID for iTunes content, but for the rest you both need separate Apple ID's. You can create an Apple ID here:

    If you have an existing ID, & you don't want to use a credit card, you'll have to redeem an iTunes gift card. If you don't want to do that, you'll have to create a new ID by following the directions here, EXACTLY:

    I want my husband to be able to access my icloud from his iPad.  He does not want to sync my info to his iPad.  He doesn't want to have to use his computer to access it since he doesn't always have his computer with him but he always has his iPad.  Is there a way to sign into icloud as a different user from an iPad?

  • How to set mac KEYBOARD shortcuts (for mac OS and windows OS)

    i am having a bit of an issue.
    i run windows 7 and mac os on the same computer on different hard drives in this computer. i also have a "mac" keyboard. i am not sure how this may be different from a "windows keyboard" but the point is i need to use this keyboard because it matches the one on my laptop which is a mac.
    when i switch to windows on this machine i always end up deleting information because the CMD + X and CMD + V cut and paste shortcuts on Mac OS are not the same in windows. windows requires (currently) CTRL + X and CTRL + V. so when i got to cut and paste in windows CTRL + X (this is my habitual way of working) and then i run a CTRL + V i end up writing /over/ the text i selected with a "x" and i end up pasting /over/ the text i selected to paste over with a "v". this is because instead of running a cut and paste, this set of shortcuts in windows simply enters "x" and "y" respectively since the shortcut is not active.
    does anyone know where i set these in windows OS and in mac OS?
    also, does anyone know if it is possible to set how many UNDOS i can do in either of these OS's or to know how many i can in fact undo?
    THANKS
    long story background:
    1. while i may move to a windows keyboard on the computer i am using (because the mac keyboards these days end up losing keys and they end up very wobbly) i cannot do this for the laptop machine so this may not make a lot of sense if i end up also running windows on the laptop which is my intention at some point.
    2. CTRL + X is a very long stretch on the mac keyboard so rather than switching mac shortcuts to accommodate windows shortcuts i am thinking to switch windows shortcuts to mac ATM.
    3. this is no small issue! i just went to copy and paste this text so i could save it for myself in order to explain to someone else and i ended up overwriting with a "c". if i had not thought fast and remembered to UNDO by hitting CTRL - X and not CMD - X i might have lost all my work.

    You don't necessarily need netcfg to get networking. But I used it before for my wireless on my laptop, so I just used the same on my desktop too. Also if you want to do things like this its easier rather than have to go digging around with macspoof and what not. your netcfg eth0 file could be something like
    PRE_UP='ip link set eth0 address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX'
    CONNECTION='ethernet'
    DESCRIPTION='A basic dhcp ethernet connection using iproute'
    INTERFACE='eth0'
    IP='dhcp'
    If you use a different interface then obviously, you need to change it accordingly

  • Why does App Store update ask me for someone else's Apple ID?

    I have 14 Apps that have updates available.  I was able to update a few using my Apple ID.  However, the rest all pop up with a message asking for someone else's Apple ID and Password when I click on Update.
    I know this person but all the apps were downloaded using my Apple ID so I do not understand why it is asking me for his password and showing me his Apple ID.
    I have tried signing off and back on but still get the same results.  This is fairly new problem.  I used to be able to use my own Apple ID to upgrade the apps on my phone.  But not anymore.  I do not have this person's password so I am unable to complete the update.
    Any ideas on how to change this behavior?
    Thanks
    Pvtbear

    Those apps were apparently purchased on the other person's Apple ID or were transferred to your computer from the other person's computer. Those apps are not registered against your Apple ID. Either you use the Apple ID and password of this other person or you purchase the apps using your Apple ID.
    It's simple enough to check your Purchases page in the App Store to see if these apps are listed for you.
