You have to boot to the Recovery HD, Command + r at startup, and from there use Terminal in the Utilities menu item and typ in Resetpassword. A dialog box will open where you can do that.

  • All the apps I want to download say I need to update my iPad 1, but there is no update later than iOS 5.1.1. what can I do?

    when I try to update some of my apps on my iPad it says i need to update to iOS 6.0 or higher but I can't. my device keeps saying its up to date. I have iOS 5.1.1 my device is the iPad 1 1st generation. anyone know what I can do?

    Unfortunately, there's not much you can do beyond either giving up on those apps or upgrading your device to a new one.

  • I want to recreate this image but just as an outline. What is the best way to do this? Thank you.

    So that it looks something like this one but obviously from side on, but in similar detail.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    carbeque,
    Basically, you can go two ways:
    For clean vector artwork, you may use the Pen Tool and other appropriate tools such as the Ellipse Tool (for parts like the wheels/caps).
    For easy but less clean vector artwork, you may use Image/Live/whatever Trace with the most suitable settings, expand, and remove what is unneeded, then clean up.
    You may also start with the latter, shudder, then do the former.

    How much FREE RAM do you have when this occurs. It's easy to tell, when it beach balls open Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) click the System Memory tab and note how much FREE RAM is listed. If it's 500MB or less it's time for a RAM upgrade.

  • TS4002 Automatic backup failed.....there is no back up store capacity, but i have enough 5.0 gb.....what can be the problem ?

    Automatic backup failed
    I have enough capacity but its constantly give me this failure
    I cannot safe photo when i see them on a site
    What can be the problem ?

    You say you have enough capacity (on icloud), but it could be that the device's memory is near full (for a backup, the device needs a certain amount of free memory for working files). 
    Go to
    Settings>General>Usage.  This tells how much storage is used on both iCloud and on the device.
    As for photos - do not use icloud as a storage location for them.  First of all, only photos in the camera roll are backed up.  Even then, many user have reported that when they have performed a restore of an icloud backup, the photos were not synced and ended up being gone.
    IMPORTANT...
    Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream.  If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device if ever they get erased on the device.
    If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered.
    Now - about backups failing...
    If you get the error "Backup not successful" and you've tried deleting the last backup and trying to back up manually without luck, try the following test:   Go to...
    Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options.  Turn off all apps from backup and then do a manual backup.  If that doesn't work, then this post will not help.  If the backup works, then go back to the app list and turn some on and try another backup.  If successful, keep repeating these steps.  If it fails at some point, then try to zero in on the one app that seems to make the backup fail.  (I had this problem and found one app failing, probably due to a corrupt data file.)
    This process will take time, but if a backup works with no app data being used but clearly fails with the original settings, then somewhere in the mix of apps is a "bad" one.

    You can use one account with iTunes on your Mac, and different account(s) with the Mac App Store (for buying/downloads apps or OS updates for your Mac), iCloud (System Preferences > iCloud) and Messages (Messages > Preferences, or command-comma)

  • When trying to reset my login / password, text in red says not connected to internet please verify connection, when the macbook air IS connected to wifi.

    cannot reset forgotten login password.

    You don't need to be connected to the Internet to reset the password.
    Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities window appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen—not from any of the items in the OS X Utilities window.
    In the window that opens, type this:
    resetp
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
    Select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected. You won't be able to do this if FileVault is active.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but the Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as the login password), there's no way to recover it.

    Hey Esmerelda17,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are wishing to change the stored password for an email account on your iPad 2.
    If you are unable to edit this field, you may want to remove and re-add the account. Please make sure to back up all of your information before doing so. Also Note: if this is an external email provider, you'll need to reset your password using their website, then update your iPad to reflect the new password.

  • TS4002 it is password protected and i want to reset the iphone

    my daughter's phone is password protected. She wont give me the password. i just want to reset the whole phone and go from there.

    If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going tohttps://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then go to Express Lane  and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within, I think, about 24 to 48 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox).
