Welcome to the Apple community Jack.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

I do not like the new Photos is there anyway I can get iPhoto back?
I do not like the new Photos is there anyway I can get iPhoto back?
iPhoto is still on your mac, it is in the application folder.
what version did you have before you upgraded to 10.10.3
as you list your OS as 10.7.4.
you really needed to upgrade to iPhoto 9.6.1 before going to 10.10.3.
Still you could try this suggestion from Terence Devlin. -
I had files in my mobil me account that I did not tranfer before I upgraded to cloud. Is there anyway I can get them? They were my travel photos
The migration process is likely to have signed you out in System Preferences>MobileMe and you will need to sign in again. Then you can mount your iDisk on the Desktop (command-shift-i). Or you can access your files at http://me.com/idisk.

I plugged in my iPhone to my computer and it erased all of my photos and videos, is there anyway I can get them back?
The photos and videos were obviously taken before I plugged it in and I didn't get a chance to back it up. It just synced and erased everything once I plugged it in. The photos and videos were very important to me and it would mean everything to me to get them back. Please help.There is more to the story than you're letting on. Possibly prompts from iTunes on your compute when you plugged in the phone that you didn't read before selecting an option...
The bottom line is, if they are not on your computer as a result of the sync, and you didn't back them up previously, then they are gone. -
I deleted Garageband and iPhoto from my Mac and now i can't reinstall them. Is there anyway i can get them back?
Were these apps purchased from the Mac App Store? If so, open the Mac App Store (should be in the Doc).
Then go to the Purchases tab and install from there. You may need to click the Buy button, but once you do, it should remember that you have already paid.
If these apps were installed from a retail copy of iLife, you can reinstall from the DVD. -
I backed up my iPhone to my computer before I did the ios 8 update and now when i go t restore it it tells me there isnt enough space on the iphone. I lost half of my pictures in my camera roll. Is there anyway i can get these back?
You did import these important photos over to an alternative storage medium, just like you would with any digital camera, right?

When I'm playing games on my Mac, I want to my viewers (from YouTube) to hear whats going on in the game, as far as I know, I can only record my voice audio, and the screen. Is there anyway I can record game audio too?
When I'm playing games on my Mac, I want to my viewers (from YouTube) to hear whats going on in the game, as far as I know, I can only record my voice audio, and the screen. Is there anyway I can record game audio too?
You have two basic options. One is to use a commercial screen recording app with access to system audio built into the app and the other is to add a system extension like SoundFlower that allows the QT X screen recorder to access/record the system audio. I use the former so I am not that familiar with SoundFlower but there should be several posts to this forum covering this topic. -
I deleted some of my photos on my iphone 5 and im really upset abou it! Is there anway I can get them back?
The only photos that you can delete directly from the phone are ones in the Camera Roll. If you deleted other photos, that had to have been done via the sync process, and you can just sync them back.
If it is photos in the Camera Roll, then if you have a backup of the phone while the photos are on there, you can restore to that backup, but understand that takes your phone back to that date and time and anything done since that date/time will be deleted. -
is there anyway to get my text messages back onto my iphone 5 after plugging it into my windows computer?
Your title asks "How do I get my iPhone information back on my (iPhone)?
You also said "I have yet to back it up." Therefore, all your information that had been on your iPhone is now gone.
Your iPhone has (and will continue to) been refreshed from iTunes. -
I was going to send my friends all of the vacation pictures so I selected all of them and I accidentally clicked delete instead!!! How can I get them back? Please help thank you
1, You can either backup with iTunes to you computer or iCloud. Either way you have to start it. If you didn't start one of them, you don't have a backup then.
2, Yes, without a backup there is nothing you can do.
3, There is no Trash on an iPhone. If you delete it, it is gone.

I downloaded the new ios 7 and when I restarted my Ipad it asked for a pastcode I could not remember a pascode and entered my apple id info. now my ipad is disabled and as a senior I don't know how to get my Ipad working again. Any suggestions?
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad into Recovery Mode

TS2446 Is there anyway I can get it back without having to change my password?
Hi!!
I recently bought an ipad mini for my daughter but I forgot my security questions and I got imy account locked.Welcome to the Apple Community.
Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple throughiTunes Store Support.
