Apple won't let me change my ID from hotmail to icloud address. Why?
My old hotmail address gets full of spam, and I no longer want to use it as my Apple ID. Can I change it to my new icloud email address? When I change my ID to my icloud email address, Apple tells me I cannot use it. Help.
You can change your ID to another non-Apple address which has never been associated with an Apple ID; but you cannot make your iCloud email address into your ID.

Pages 09 won't let me change spelling dictionary from French to English!
I'm writing a syllabus for class and the spellcheck is stuck in French - for the life of me I can't change it. The dictionary menu doesn't show up ANYWHERE. Is this a bug? is there a fix?tohubohu wrote:

i live in canada and am trying to sent a calendar to friends in the US in the edit shipping address section it won't let me change the country. what am i doing wrong?
You can only ship Apple products to the same country as the credit card used is billed to. So unless you have a credit card with a billing address in the States you won't be able to ship direct.

I had to change my password and did so succesfully, but cannot change my original security questios. To make new security questions, Apple wants me to answer my old security questions, which I cannot do to their satisfaction, as my answers do not match their answers on file. Is there a way to change my security questions without being able to answer my orignal questions first?

Why not? If you're the owner then you should know your own question/answer combination as you created them.

Firefox won't let me change my homepage from the default
I have recently formatted my computer (doing a full system wipe, not just a settings wipe) and now Firefox isn't behaving. If I change my Firefox homepage to another homepage (IE Google) it will save it until I close out all my Firefox windows, then it goes back to the default homepage. I have tried doing a full Firefox uninstall, and deleting my profile and it's not working. I set the files to 'read only' and changed my homepage, and it still went back to the default. I have even deleted the prefs to no avail. I'm positive it's not malware as I have just formatted my computer (It was doing the same thing for a while last time I formatted as well but it somehow fixed itself) I do have Adblock and Status-4-ever installed, but those have been in my PC since before I formatted last time and have never caused a problem. They're also on my other computer, and it works fine as well. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?
PS. Sorry if I'm in the wrong area. I'm a little bubblebrained today. =PYou are in the right area, this is the support forum.
You should not make the profile read only, that will cause problems, for instance you will not be able to change settings or add bookmarks.
Before you go any further try to make a copy of the current profile including the sub folders and files, and any accessible previous profile. (For instance are you using a disk image of the hdd prior to it being wiped, does that have the old profile on it) this suggestion is made because some of that information is likely to be useful, but is being put at risk of being deleted or overwritten.
Have a look at
*[[preferences are not saved]]
* and [[backing up your information]]
A potential problem is that you may have tried to restore from a Windows backup, they do not always work, and may need another clean re-install, but note do NOT delete the profile it is the program files that may need deleting.
Try the following in this order, testing after each stage
# return the profile settings to their standard privileges
# use firefox in [[safe mode]]<br/> no need to make changes in the options dialogue window, just click on continue
# try a new profile
#* see [[Basic Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile]]_8-make-a-new-profile
# back up your profiles (see above) then try a clean reinstall http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall -

I not so recently changed my email adress I associated with my Apple ID and my iCloud ID. My old email still shows up for iCloud, and won't let me change it to my new email. When I try to delete it and replace it with the proper email, it wants my password, which it won't accept because it's an invalid username.
I had this same issue and got it resolved very simply when I contacted Apple SUpport
Go to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and sign into your infomation
> Go to Manage apple id and primary email address
> Change it to the old apple id that your device is asking for
> Save changes
> Go to Settings > iCloud and sign out of the infomation
> Go back to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
> Change it back to the correct apple id
> Go to the email address adn reverify the apple id
> Sign back into iCloud on your device

My husband changed the Apple ID on our computer. For some reason, iCloud has the old Apple ID and it won't let me change it. I've been locked out of my iPad twice and had to restore it because of iCloud. How do I change the Apple ID (not the password)?
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too. -
I bought an iPad 2 at a yard sale and now it won't let me change the Apple ID from the previous owner to me. What do I do
If you can't contact the owner, there isn't anything you can do.

I changed my Apple ID/ email address. But iCloud won't let me change from my old one. I don't remember my password to my old one. How do I fix this?
Hello Brookeg189,
You may be able to use the password for your existing iCloud account to get past this dialog.

I changed my Apple ID at the Apple website but it won't let me change it on my iPhone 5 (gMail, iCloud) and syncing doesn't help.
On your iPhone...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
