Am at a loss.

You can remove the Airplay password from the Settings menu on your AppleTV.

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
    If you cannot get this information from the seller
    Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

  • Just got new air and trying to set up. When I put in my Apple ID and password it comes up with error message 'can't sign in because of server error. Try again signing on.' Trying again does not fix. I know my ID and PW are right as work on other devices.

  • I can no longer use my aol on mac mail. When I set up the aol account name and password I get a message that says "Unable to verify account name or password". This is on all my Apple devices. Seems like an AOL server issue but no help from them!

    I can no longer make my AOL e mail work with Mac Mail on all my devices. When I try to set up the account and put in the correct aol account and password I get the message "Unable to verify account name or password". I know the account name and password is correct as I can open the AOL e mail page on Safari. I have changed the password, and it still does not work. AOL tech support has been no help. AOL email worked for years but last week due to suspected spam activity AOL locked my AOL account. I got that straightened out but now i cannot set it up on any of my devices: Macbook Air, Ipad, I pad mini and iPhone 6 without that message. I took everything to Apple store and everything is set up correctly on my devices. AOL tech support is no help and keeps giving me different solutions and answers, none of which has worked. Any solutions out there? All my Apple Software is up to date on all my devices

    Delete your Gmail account from the Mail/Contacts/Calendars settings page, and then add it back in using the new Gmail password.

  • I have an apple ID and password but my ipad is broken and they say they can't get in because they don't have my i cloud password.  I never set one up and don't know what one is

    My I pad broke after only a few months and now they won't mend it as they say they can't get in as my i cloud password not working.  I never even set one up?  I have an apple id and password but that's not enough for them to get in.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    It's your Apple ID and password they want.

  • I got this macbook pro last December 25, upon setting it up I did not put any password. Now I want to install an app, it is asking me for a password. How can I give one if I did not set it up? I tried putting my apple ID password but it wont work.

    please. waiting for your replies.

    You should have set up a password. It is important to have one in order to prevent other users from installing applications and to make your Mac safer.
    If you have set up your Apple ID, you can try resetting your user password with your Apple ID > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274
    If it does not work, reset your user password through Recovery > http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4101 Then, set up a different Keychain password > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1631

  • Need help big time. I need to change my apple ID but the original email address I set it up under is no longer used so i can't get my proper password sent to me. I don't want to set up a new account and lose all my old apps I have purchased.

    need help.  Before I set up my I-pad i need to regain access to my I-Tunes account, easy enough. The problem is I cannot re-set password.  I have tried to re-set and send to my designated email but it does not work. How can i get someone from Apple on the phone to help?

    Have you forgotten your password? - if so, you have a problem if the email address has gone dead.
    If you know your password, go to the iTunes Store, click on Account. log in and you can change the associated email address.
    If you don't know your password, and have no email address, you are going to have problems because it's difficult to see how Apple are going to identify you as the authorised owner of the account. Contact iTunes Support: go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'. You will see a link to either 'Express Lane', which will guide you eventually to some contact options, or you may see a link to email them.

  • TS5223 Updated to iOS8. I don't remember the password for my old Apple ID or the password for that e-mail. I can't delete the iCloud account without knowing it, although my iTunes and everything else is set to the new Apple ID and password. Help?!

    I keep getting pop-ups telling me to sign in to my iCloud and it's very annoying. I have no idea what the old password was, and I don't really have a way of changing the old password because I also don't know my password for the e-mail address connected to it (it kept telling me that the answers to my security questions were wrong, but I'm not sure what other answers they would have been). Therefore, I created an entirely new e-mail and a new Apple ID and everything else is set to that ID... except iCloud. Is there any way to correct this, or am I out of luck?

    If your device is signed into an old iCloud ID, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID*, do the following:
    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) 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 back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).
    * If that's not the case, you'll have to contact the Apple account security team and ask for assistance resetting the password for the old ID: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security.  You'll have to be able to prove your identity to them before they will do this.

  • I can't remember the password I used to set up icloud nor the email I used to set it up with. I have my apple ID and email for that account.

    I recently had to do a factory restore on my iphone 4s. Upon trying to set up my phone again I am being asked to sign into my icloud account. I can't remember the password or the email I used to set it up. I know my Apple ID, password and email for that account, but that doesn't allow me to get back into my phone. I can't reset the icloud password because I can't remember the email I used. Any ideas on what I can do please ?

    hi
    a friend of mine has bought a second hand iphone 5s . in icloud setting an old apple id has been set.he'd like to change it with his own , he isn't able to change it because the password of old apple id is required , and every 10 sec a message is appeared that needs a password ( find my iphone ). he has set his own apple id in itunes  store , but in i cloud he couldn't find a person that he has bought it from .how can we fix this problem .
    i'm looking forward to hearing from you .

    That is "activation lock". You won't be able to use the iPhone unless this is cleared by the original owner.

  • HT204053 My iPhone is set up with my old iCloud details. I can't remember the password, it is an old email address and it is not recognising my date of birth!! How can I delete it from my phone and enter my new Apple ID?

    My iPhone is set up with my old iCloud details - how do I change it to my new Apple ID - my email has changed. I can't remember old password and it's not recognising my date of birth. I no longer have the trusted device or key thing??

    Try going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  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 iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished 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.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    Have you tried changing the admin password in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Password   ??

  • Can't log in with my Apple id password, so can't set new wifi up

    Hi, first time on my iPad since new wifi set up, and I now can not get into my iPad to set up the New WiFi keycode, I keep constantly getting the "sign into icloud, enter Apple id password", and I can't get to any settings annoyingly.
    Now I had not changed my Id password prior to this problem, yet I have since changed it through another device, yet without WiFi on my iPad this will not update.
    I have shut down and restarted, to see if this helps but it didn't, can anyone help with this annoying little problem so I can set up the New WiFi?

  • Can I set up a password for when renting movies from my Apple TV without having to sign out?

    Can I set up a password when renting movies from my Apple TV without having to sign out?

    Is there an issue just signing out?  It's a chore entering itunes store password sometimes I agree but there's no way to set a local password on AppleTV - though it's a good idea as you could have a simpler one than for itunes store.
    Ordinarily I enter my password for rentals though AppleTV ususally asks if I want it to remember it automatically.  If you sign out and sign back in you should get the option.
