So i got a MAC and im trying to update my apps imovie and iphoto but the old account i started with still appears and i cant erase it or delete it. Is it a glitch or something can some really help its a irritating problem. Plzzz respnd some one.
The story:
i got my Mac didnt have an apple id so i used my cousins but now i made me own like ac ouple months ago but when i try to update soem apps my cousins account still appears and i want to get rid of that. Hope someone can help really.

Only the Apple ID that bought the apps can update the apps. That Apple ID is permanently encoded in the apps.
Your only option is to delete your cousin's apps* and buy them with your own Apple ID.
*Your cousin's apps on your Mac is software piracy.

    If you can't remember the password for the ID, and no longer have access to the email account associated with the ID to reset it, try contacting iTunes Store support: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.  They frequently deal with Apple ID password issues.

    We own 5 Apple devices but for some reason I cannot get iTunes to recognize one of the iPads.  The other 4 show up just fine and we can sync and do all the stuff we are supposed to do, but this one device is never recognized.  I've tried updating the software, reinstalling iTunes, using different ports on the laptop, different cables...just about everything.  I have NEVER been able to connect this one device, but all the others are fine.  I'm at my wits end.  Is there someone out there who can help a relative novice figure out what's going on?  Thanks so much!

  • I have all my photos but for some reason iphoto cannot read them?

    I recently backed up all my photos and reinstalled Mac OS X 10.5.6. iphoto would not launch so I installed the iphoto Library Manager. now I can get iphoto to run but when I try to add my photos or direct it to a iphoto library I get the error message...
    The following files could not be imported (they may be unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)
    I have also gotten...
    The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it.
    I have gone in and tried to change the settings of the files to read/write and put in my password but then I get the " The following files could not be imported (they may be unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)" error message?
    Please help. I have all my photos but for some reason iphoto cannot read them? They are jpg files.

    I recently backed up all my photos
    How did you do this?
    These Unable to Import and Locked Library messages are common symptoms of a damaged database file. As iPhoto Library Manager is unable to rectify the situation you'll need to do a Manual Rebuild as described in this article

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same problem for a while (FF 3.6.13,Win 7-32 on HP 8730w)and I cannot understand that the Mozilla foundation doesn't do anything about it.
    I tried to deactivate the Skype plugin that seems to be at the head of a lot on unstability but no use.
    Going to 70% of the websites with flash and having FF that hangs really sucks and I am close to re-install explorer on my PC Guys, so DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, Call the Adobe engineers and sit around a table or you will loose market share soon... :-((

  • The new IOS asks me for a apple ID, but for some reason its using my old ID, I don´t know how to change it, the new IOS asks me for a apple ID, but for some reason its using my old ID, I don´t know how to change it

    When I installed the new IOS for my I phone, the progam asked me to log in with my apple ID the problem is , the ID that was pre stablished is my old ID and it is not working any more. My question is how do I change the pre setted ID and change it for the new one?

    You have to delete the old account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, 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 iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. 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.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • I just bought a mac and I used the migration assistant so I could have all my files, but I got my account from Snow Leopard and now I don't have Lion anymore?

    If anyone knows what my next step is, please help! Thanks

    Are you absolutely sure that your new Mac had Lion installed? If so, are you now absolutely sure you are running Snow Leopard? What does About This Mac under the Apple icon in the menu say about what system you are running.
    Snow Leopard will not install on top of Lion. You have to erase the HD to downgrade from Lion to Snow Leopard. Migration Assistant doesn't have the capability of doing this.

  • I changed my I'd and password but for some reason it still shows my old ID and I can't access my app store. Please help

    I changed my apple I'd and password because my old ID was not working, but for some reasons I can not get into my app store with the new ID and pass. Please help

    Anybody can access the App Store - even without an Apple ID.
    What are you saying? You cannot access your purchased apps with your new ID? If you are, that is the way that it works. If you set up a new Apple ID - you can't update the apps that you bought with the old ID. You have to continue to update the purchased apps with the old ID and password since purchases are always tied to the ID that made the purchases.
    If you need to sign into your new ID you can do that in Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap th old ID and sign out then sign in with the new one.

  • HT5655 I followed all the instructions to update Flash Player, but the installation fails at around 90%, it says that there is an Application running (Safari) bit I actually close all Apps. already. can someone help me with this issue ?? Thanks

    I have followed the instructions to update Flash Player, the Installation Fails at about 90%, it says that there is an Application running (Safari) and it says to close all the apps. and start again ... but I already close all the Applications ... none is running ... can someone help me with this issue ??? Thanks ...

    Dear Dominic
    Brilliant reply. Simple English. Simple to follow instructions. And it worked immediately, first time.
    Why couldn't the Apple and Adobe corporations get their programming right first time? We spend billions of UK pounds and US dollars with them. They reply with incompetent programming such as this, and arrogance to their customers in issuing faulty systems without doing the most rudimentary checks.
    Anyway, I certainly shan't be buying another Apple as this is the most unreliable, most incomprehensible, most illogical and downright thoughtless shoddy piece of computer kit which I have ever owned. And all of it is rubbish ~ emails disappear, photos can't be organised properly, spreadsheets don't work, Pages is laborious… the list goes on and on...
    But thanks to you Dominic, I have been able to load Adoble Flashj… maybe eyou should get  a job at Apple, and set them all on the right course to how to work simply and correctly with customers.
    Thanks again,
    David

    I'm assuming you have Photo Stream set up of both devices.  However, it seems many users are experiencing the same as you - my take is that streaming photos is not foolproof yet.

    Do you have one, two or more entries in the left colum of Mail.app for your mail server(s)?  That is, do you have your Mail.app set up with either a btinternet entry, with a btyahoo entry, or both?  Or more?
    I'm guessing that you might have one account (btyahoo?) listed for incoming (IMAP server) mail, and with the outbound (SMTP server) mail is configured and named btinternet.
    Based on what little I see posted, it looks like BT uses both btinternet and btyahoo, but I'm not exactly clear on how they have their stuff set up, and their web set gets helpful and tries to help configure my mail — I don't immediately see a single web page with the mail server set-up details.  The BT email client set-up starts here.
