The iCloud id on my Mac is my old mobile me id. I use a different id for purchases which is also the I'd used on my iOS devices. Is there any way to replace the iCloud apple id on the Mac to make it the same as the one that I use for purchases?

The iCloud id on the Mac is the old mobile me one. I no longer have any use for it and want to use the id that is used for purchasing and is on my iOS devices. It would enable me to make better use of I stream between the Mac and the iOS devices

Sign out of icloud in system preferences and sign in with the one you want to use.  Just be sure to backup icloud-synced data first, before signing out, if you have any data associated with that account you care about.  Then you can reimport it after.  If you only want the information that is currently syncing on your mobile devices, then it's simply sign out with the old MM one and sign in with the one on the mobile devices.

  • I've had my iMac put away for about a year, now I can not remember the admin password upon startup. And I don't have the installation cd's (of course)! Is there any way to re-boot, re-do, get into my Mac to change it.  I don't remember it even w/ the hint

    Call Apple with the Serial and they will send you the ones that came with the Mac. Or search the Net.

    My ipod touch has bad battery power, is there any way to replace the battery .
    Also it cant install most of the apps , so I was wondering if apple will replace my ipod touch 2g for another ipod touch better gen .

    Apple will only give you a 10% recycling discount if you turn in an old iPod when you purchase a new one.
    Apple - Recycling Program for iPod and Mobile Phones
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one with a new battery for $79. May not be worth it for the old 2G. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price              
    A third-party place like the following will replace the battery for less. Google for more.

    Replace the battery yourself if you are up to it. Yo can purchases a replacement battery for about $10

  • I have updated my mac from snow leopard to mountain lion 3 days back. I had some important data in my library folder and it got overwritten. Is there any way i can get the data back from my snow leopard library folder?

    I tried mackeeper to recover files but it could not. Any other way any one has tried to recover a system library folder after OS upgrade?

    No, it doesn't store a clone. You would have needed to make one with either SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.
    If the files were in your ~/Library folder then they may still be there. As I said, you can access it by
    going to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library". I wouldn't think an upgrade would overwrite anything in ~/Library.
    If you have a Time Machine backup you may also be able to use that to retrieve them.

    Is there any way I can convert previous apple accounts into my most recent one? As I have forgotten the older accounts passwords.

    No, all content (music, books, movies and apps) bought from iTunes and App Stores using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

    Babowa is correct; there is no way to restore the arrows. If you want to step up and down a list, try the keyboard's arrow keys.

  • Is there any way to stream FROM my Apple TV TO my iPad?

    Is there any way to stream FROM my Apple TV TO my iPad? I know I can stream from the pad to the TV, but I haven't seen anything that lets me do it vice-versa. I want to stream while my computer is off/asleep. I don't want to keep my computer awake all the time simply to be prepared for the random moment when I want to watch a movie but I'm not in a position to go turn on my computer and turn on iTunes. If my Apple TV could stream the movies and music, that would suit my needs, but it looks like that feature isn't available. Does anyone know how to work around it using either Apple or 3rd-party software/hardware?

    You can use Apples Remote app to stream any macs iTunes library to ATV1 but only second gen ATV,s are capable of streaming direct from iOS devices.

  • My iphone 5 has restored to an old backup after updating to ios 7 is there any way of getting my stuff back as this has now become the most recent back up?

    also since the update it keeps resetting itself? i had a lot of stuff on there that i really wanted and alot of important info lost? please help!!

    You might be able to remove the recent backup from the backups folder and the old one should be usable at that point
    USE EXTREAME CAUTION WHEN ACCESS THE FILES AND DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Note: The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, Option-click the Go menu.
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
    This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

      2. Find my lost iPod Touch
      3. AT&T. Sprint, and Verizon can block stolen phones/tablets

  • Is there any way I can change my apple I'd from english to canadian

    Is there any way I can change my apple ID from English to Canadian

    Meaning UK to Canadian?
    You need to change the address associated with your Apple ID to a Canadian address.
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    For making purchases you will need to change the country that your ID is associated with in the iTunes app. Log into your account and chnage the country. You will need to supply a Canadian bank card and the local Canadian billing address.

  • Is there any way to set up icloud with Windows XP?

    Is there any way to set up icloud using a PC with windows XP?

    Yes there is.
    There are many threads on this forum discussing this issue already (it's good to search before asking the same quesiton again).
    There is a simple hack to get iCloud control panel to work on Windows XP to give you synced access to Contacts, Calenders, Reminders and Bookmarks. It also can be used to set up your me.com mail. Photostream doesn't work.
    I found a solution here, have written it up in clearer english and added details re IMAP support for me.com addresses here:
    http://xlii.be/s/1ii
    In summary:
    You need:
    Unpacking program e.g. 7-Zip or WinRar
    Orca MSI editor
    The iCloud setup hack for Windows XP:
    Download iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
    Open iCloudSetup.exe file with WinRar or 7-Zip and extract.
    Navigate to and open the iCloud.msi or iCloud64.msi (for 64bit systems) with Orca.
    In the left table select LaunchCondition. Then change in the right table “VersionNT> = 600” to “VersionNT> = 200” and Save.
    Run modified iCloud.msi and install.
    Run iCloud Control Panel, located in the Windows Control Panel, and set up as you want.
    I've had reports that you need to keep the files extracted from the .exe file in the same directory during installaton of the .msi file.
    Have fun!
