Apple changed my password when I took my computer into to have data transferred from an old hard drive. Their password hint is (Password was changed to "apple" ) I tried apple, "apple, and my old password which written down in a file. How do I establish a new password?

Restart from a Mac OS X DVD with the Option key held down at startup and use the DVD's Reset Password utility.

Just reset my apple ID and password, but iPhone does not recognize it for iCloud or iTunes. Is there a way to be sure these iPhone features use my new Apple ID and password?

Have never been able to use iCloud because my iPhone (v 4) does not recognize my apple ID or password. Any ideas?

If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. 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 iPhone on your device. Then 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. You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

Changing devices is no reason to create a new Apple ID.
All content purchased from iTunes is permanently linked to the Apple ID it was purchased with.
To update apps purchased with the old ID, you MUST sign in with that Apple ID.

Thanx for replly lllaass,but when i authorized it,,computer ask for apple id and password,i put id and password,,but again it says,you cannot authorized more than 5 computer"

thanx for replly lllaass,but when i authorized it,,computer ask for apple id and password,i put id and password,,but again it says,you have already authorized more than 5 computer,to authorized this computer you ahve to deauthorized othe computer"what does this actually mean,replly plz?

You can only have five computers authorized for one iTunes account. You need to deauthorize another computer and then authorize this computer. If yu do not have access to the other computers you can deauthorthize all computer and then authorize the one you want. You can only deauthorize all once a year. See the following for how to deauthorize all.
About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization

I've just upgraded to iPhone 4S and restored data from my old iPhone through iTunes. I'm being asked for a password to get into my phone and the old password I had doesn't work. I don't know what password it's looking for

Thanks for replying, I'm a real techno-cretin. What do you mean by not using the backup? I'm busy trying to restore my new phone and it's doing a 6 hour download with updates. Can I restore the data from my old phone backup onto the new iPhone 4S when the download is done?

I keep getting "incorrect password" when I try to sign in for face-time

I keep getting "incorrect password" when I try to sign in for face-time on my new iPad. the pw works fine in apps and to get in here just not on face time.
Should I uninstall face time (if i can find out how!) and then if I do that, can I download it (and from where?) to re-install? it was on the desktop when I got the iPad

You can't uninstall native apps. Sign out completely from facetime, itunes and app stores.
then:
Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
Sign back in to facetime

You created a new iTunes account instead of updating the old account with new info?'

When I receive appointments by email and accept them they go into the enourage "on my mac" ical calendar which is not synced with mobileme. How do I change where appointments are put ?

When I receive appointments by email and accept them they go into the enourage "on my mac" ical calendar which is not synced with mobileme. How do I change where appointments are put ?
Or how can I choose where the appointment is put ?
I use the mobileme sync services so the ical calendars that are synced are those in the "[email protected]" group.
Please help !
Nick

Actually you can't drag the appointment to ano calendar - its says "You can’t make changes to this invitation., Only the organiser can change this event"
Also if you double click on the received appointment and open the window the only calendars shown that you can select are the 'on my mac" ones, and not the sync'd ones.
Any ideas welcome !!

Have you signed out of your iTunes account on the device/computer that you are using and signed back in with the updated password ? That should 'refresh' the account on it, and you should be able to use the account's new password to download updates to its apps

I have recently changed my mobile number, however when I use iMessage my old mobile number is still used. I realised that my old number is still registered to my iTunes account, how do I change this to my new number?

My adobe account was hacked and compromised, emails were sent out on one of my accounts. I changed my adobe password, when I scan my computer, some adobe files are password protected and can not be scanned, is this normal?

I have contacted them, but apart from letting them look at it and deal with it, is there anything I can personally do myself? Or is it just a matter of waiting for me now?

HT5622 I've changed my Apple ID, but the iPod still insists on my old ID, and the old password no longer works, so I do I get the old ID to vanish and be able to use the new ID?

- Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into new account.
NOTE
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
