I would like to get rid of the email I use for my Apple ID, but am unable to set me .me email address as my Apple ID.  Is this true?

Before I get my new iPhone 5, I would like to know if I can drop my email address that I use previously for my Apple ID and use my @me.com email address.  Is this possible?

  • I would like to get rid of the MSN homepage that was set a a default home page when I use firefox. I want to go back to the regular firefox homepage. How do I do this?

    I want to get rid of the homepage that I set a while ago that goes directly to MSN news and just go back to the regular firefox search page as a default.

    It's helpful to give more specific feedback if you can.
    Here's the process to roll back:
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information] (copy your whole profile folder).
    Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    Close Firefox 4, and uninstall it. Do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
    Then finally you can reinstall Firefox 3.6. Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, it should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.

  • I have a 2 inch gray bar across the top of my home page now after dragging a few windows around my desk top. I'm not sure if it's a mozilla thing or google thing but it just appeared and I would like to get rid of it. g

    My home page is just www.google.com with a search box and a picture of some planets as a background from my computer. While I was dragging the restored down browser window, I slipped with my mouse and now I have a light gray two inch bar across the top of my background picture. It's below the; Search-Images-YouTube-News-Gmail-More icons. When I right click on it and select inspect Element (Q) it says div#gbx1.gbqfh in three different colors. I would like to get rid of it, but I don't know if it's a google or Mozilla issue. I know google has been changing things so it wouldn't surprise me if it was just a coincidence.

    Is there any text in that gray bar?
    I see some buttons on it, do they have a tooltip?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • How can I reset my Mac to default settings? Or how can I reset it to a prior date? My Mac has a virus and I would like to get rid of it. I would appreciate your help concerning this matter.

    How can I reset my Mac to default settings? Or how can I reset it to a prior date? My Mac has a virus and I would like to get rid of it. I would appreciate your help concerning this matter.

    To restore it follow these instructions: What to do before selling or giving away your Mac.
    Before you do the above check out the following;
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
    If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, AdwareMedic, or Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support.
    Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
    The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
    Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
    Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
    Quit Safari
    Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
    Relaunch Safari
    If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
    This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

  • My kids set up itune account on my computer and no one remembers the password.  I want to start my own itunes account, but I would like to get some of the music off this account.  Any suggestions?

    my kids set up itune account on my computer years ago and no one remembers the password.  They started new accounts on their macs.   I want to start my own itunes account, but I would like to get some of the music off this account.  Any suggestions?

    The easiest way would probably be to recover the data of the old account and change it to match your current info, after that you can continue to use the account without any problems. To recover your account go to: Apple - My Apple ID
    Alternatively if you want to start a new account do it and then contact iTunes support to see if the y can transfer your purchases (I know of cases on which they have done it)

  • I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) and am currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I would like to know which is the most stable upgrade for my model. I have read some reviews of Maverick and Yosemite making the older macs slower. Is this true?

    I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008), Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53 GHz, 4GB Memory. and am currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    I would like to know which is the most stable upgrade for my model? Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite?
    When I had gone to the apple care centre in India a few months ago to upgrade my OSX to Mountain Lion, I was told that considering my macbook pro's specs, upgrading it would just make it less efficient, and that I should stick to Snow Leopard unless I consider buying a newer mac that would benefit from it. Is this true? I find it a bit hard to believe. Which update is most recommended?
    I also notice that my mac has gotten considerably slower. While using chrome, it buffers and struggles with even just 5 tabs open. Could this have something to do with my current ios? As a precaution, I have always been making sure I have enough free space on disk i.e around 70 - 100 free out of 250GB.
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Mavericks is no longer available from the App Store, so your choice is Yosemite. One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won't have to go though the revert process.
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible.

  • How do I get rid of the message "To use this machine for downloads, enter you Apple ID and password" which I now see twice since I downloaded the latest version of iTunes? Once is enough and no checkbox exists to say "do not show this message.....".

  • How do i get rid of the annoying pop up for the adobe trial after i have bought and installed adobe pro?

    How do I get rid of the annoying pop up from the adobe trial after I have bought and installed adobe pro?

    This isn't an annoying pop-up. Rather, it is seriously telling you that it doesn't know that you have licensed the software, and it will continue to be a trial, and will stop when the 30 days are up.
    So you must tell it that you have licensed the software.

  • I have a Yahoo search bar next to the Url location bar. I would like to get rid of it. How?

    When I downloaded Firefox 4 this morning, I ended up with a Yahoo option for search on the tool bar next to the URL location space. I don't want the Yahoo search option and can't figure out how to get rid of it. I have read all the suggestions without help. I am running Windows 7.

    Reply: Cor-el > Excellent!! Thank You. In Tools, Add Ons, Extensions there was a Default Tab enntry which was the culprit. Am running W7 so the XP Tools, Options, Advanced , Use Hardware acceleration when available, wasn't of much help here, however I did fix a problem on another computer running XP with that same fix. Thank You very much! HD

  • I would like to get rid of an old iBook, but when I plug it in, I can't get it to boot up at all.

    I have an old iBook Power PC G3 that I would like to recycle.  However, many years ago I dropped it and the logic board was damaged. It will boot up for a couple of seconds, then go to sleep or shut down.  I can't tell.  I think I may have some information on there that I need to get rid of before I send it off to recycling.
    I'd like to wipe the hard drive and get it recycled. Help!
    Beth

    If you hadn't found some ideas online of how to open the old G3 iBook model
    there are a few that may help, depending on which model you actually have,
    in sites such as iFixit.com https://www.ifixit.com/Device/iBook_G3
    Since there were early models in color, and later ones in white, more than
    one kind of hardware build example exists under the name iBook G3...
    To open it and remove the hard disk drive, as suggested, to access it by a
    universal hard drive wire kit (those have their own power supply too) is a
    great idea. If nothing else, you could otherwise dispose of the hard drive
    and not be too concerned of someone else accessing your personal info.
    A destructive method could be used to make the moving parts inside not
    accessible to most usual means. I've seen what a big hammer could do.
    Hopefully someone may want the remainder of your old iBook G3 for fun
    or to look at in wonder, it may not be ready for the trash just yet.
    Good luck & happy computing!
