Can't access my appleId when I created a new one for my dad

Hi All,
I really hope someone can help me out with this...here goes:
I've been using my apple ID for a few years now...I use it for my iTouch at first...then bought an iPhone...and an iPad Mini...no problem whatsover...
A few days ago..my dad bought his first ever Apple product (iPad Air). The other night we tried to set it up but our internet at home was intermittent so I used the iTunes on my laptop to start it up. When it was connected to my iTunes, it showed on the left panel my name as the iPad's owner which was weird because I clicked on set-up as new iPad. I don't sync any of my apple gadgets to my iTunes.
Anyway, last night, I told my dad he needed to create his apple ID. So we did, from the Air. And that's when the problems started. When we tried to manage his Apple Id thru a computer, he was asked for security questions, but he wasn't able to input anything except for a new apple ID and a password and that's it. And when we checked out other details when we managed his ID, there were information on the address, and even credit card details...which turned out to be my details. Now when I try to access my own apple ID, I couldn't anymore. It says wrong password. So I went to my laptop and clicked manage my ID and asked my password to be reset thru email. No email came into my personal email address. I tried to do what I can but I can't seem to locate my apple ID. I thought it would send the reset email in my dad's gmail address but still none.
My old apple ID is also linked to my iCloud. I couldn't access iMessage or Facetime so I decided to create a new ID.
This morning, when I checked my Dad's iPad...and tried to access his iMessage or Facetime, when it was on the page wherein the apple id was verified and asked which email or apple id the messages should go through, I saw my apple ID there together with his apple ID.
I know it's a bit confusing but I hope someone can help me out in retrieving my old Apple ID and separate it from my dad's apple ID account. If that's even possible.
Help

Oh and to add, when I downloaded the skype app onto my dad's air...I got a notification to my personal yahoo mail, it says:
Dear My Dad's Name ----------- weird because it's my email address
Your Apple ID, *my dad's apple id* was just used to download Skype for iPad from the App Store on a computer or device that had previously been associated with that Apple ID.
I'm guessing his apple ID is linked to my email address...however, when we checked his personal gmail account, he got the same email..

When I create a new track for Guitar it labels the track "Clean Combo" no matter which amp I select. Anyone else noticing this?

Look at it this way: there is no need to record that effect onto the audiofile. This is a great advantage of modern recording, and this is how most DAW's work by default. Just leave the plugin on when playing back.
Only for CPU management reasons it may be advantageous in certain situations to either freeze a track or bounce it in place (both techniques will render an audiofile that may include the effect). But in general it is a (very) good thing that it is possible to tweak any effect after recording, and have a clean, unprocessed recorded signal to work with. And if the effect was perfect at the time of recording, well, just leave the plugin(s) engaged.

ps: there is a way to record plugin effected signal live into the audiofile, but it involves creating a custom environment setup.

I have an apple account but would like to create a new one for my mum on my computer how do I do this ?

I Have my own Apple ID on my computer and would like to create a new one for my mum on my computer so I can transfer all her contacts etc. How do I do this ?

You can create a new iTunes account on your computer's iTunes or you can do it via http://appleid.apple.com : iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
If you don't want to give credit card details before the account can be used in the iTunes store then follow the instructions on this page : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method

BUG: Access Connect Abort, when I create a new network profile.

Where can I report bugs?
My system is windows xp sp2 on X60.
I have been using AC-4.42(Access Connection) for a long time. And before, there is no problem when I added new network profile into it.
But yesterday, I wanted to add a new profile into it. I opened the "create profile" window and input the name of the new profile (I have two network adapters, wired and wireless. So by default, the both are selected. And I left the default selection unchanged.), then "Next". The 2nd window is about wireless config, I configured everything, then go on "Next", at this moment, an error occured and AC aborted with four error windows. The titles of those windows are "ACMainGUI.exe error" and "ACMainGUIWnd: ACMainGUI.exe".
Then I did it again, I opened the "create profile" window, and this time, in this (1st) window, I changed the selection of network adapter, besides inputing the name of the new profile. I only selected the wired adapter, and then "Next". Sadly, this time the 2nd(next) window did not appear(pop up) at all. Instead, those four error windows poped up one by one. AC aborted again.
I repeated the above operations many times, and everytime, AC aborted.
So I went to the online "support and download" to look for some updates about AC. And I found AC-4.52 with luck. After downloading and installing, unfortunately the problem still exists. AC-4.52 still aborts when I create a new network profile.
So now, what to do. I have no ways. I am expecting the developers could note this problem and fix it and give me a newer update as soon as possible.
Sigh...

I have exactly the same issue. Next to the actions mentioned by ixbm I have also fully uninstalled and reinstalled the AC-4.52, but this didn't help.
Any idea on how to solve, installing older version?
regards,
Bart

Apple has just deleted my alias - which I was using as my main email address. They deny me creating a new one for 7 days. How can I get in touch with Apple so that they repair what they have broken?

Has anyone had a problems with their alias today?
Apple has deleted mine today; causing me a major headache as they deleted the alias that I use as my main email address.
What happened exactly, is that the @icloud.com alias remained, but the @me.com disapeared. So that the John.Smith alias became valid only for [email protected], but [email protected] disapeared.
To try to restore the situation, I deleted the alias, with the hope of re-creating it: but bad luck, that option is not open to me as I have had 5 aliases active till today, and they now only give you 3, and even once I had deleted 2, they would not allow me to set-up a new one for 7 DAYS.
I can't be without email for 7DAYS, care of Apple. Calling AppleCare does not seem to help, and the line gets dropped once I have explained the problem.
Please help me raise someone at Apple to fix this.

How can i delete and apple id and create a new one without a password?

how can i delete and apple ID without a password so i can create a new one? thank u

It is not possible to delete an apple id completely. You can only delete information like credit card, adress, name... To do this, go to iTunes Store, click on your email adress in the upper right corner and enter your password. Now you can manage your account.
An apple id without password is not possible.

Currently have ipod touch 4 and am getting an iphone 5c. Want to transfer data to new phone. Currently all our family devices on one apple ID for purchases and it is the same for icloud. I want to create a new one for icloud for this iphone. What do I do?

Currently have ipod touch 4 and am getting iphone 5c this weekend. Currently our family has several apple devices and they have the same apple ID for itunes and it is the same ID that we use for icloud. I want to set up a separate icloud ID so that it is only on my new device. I still want to keep the same apple ID for purchases. Can I do this and better yet when do I do this...before the purchase, after the purchase and backing up of data. Where do I go to create a new one?

Figured it out. Thanks.

HT5312 I set up an icloud on an old email address that I can't access anymore. So I created a new account as I couldn't remember the security question answers for the old account. My iphone links to the old account. How do I change it to the new one?

When I set up the icloud I was using my then email address. My email address has now changed.
I tried to access under the old email address to change it to a new email address but I couldn't remember the security questions and as I can't access the old email address, I can't change it. So to solve the problem I set up a new account under the new email address. The only problem is my iphone is still asking for the old email address password which doesn't work.
How do I connect my iphone to the new account as it wont let me delete the old account on the iphone without the password (which as mentioned above doesn't work)?

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

How can I delete my itunes account and create a new one ?

Hi Everyone
I've got a problem with my current account itunes (french) :
I'm between France and Spain. I usaully use french applications but I would like to be able to pick some apps in the spanish itunes store, and in the english one (such as i already do in the french one). Lately I change my payment data to my spanish visa card data, since then I cannot download any app anymore.
So I tried to create a new account in the itunes store choosing the spanish location, but it s not possible since my actual email adress is the back up email adress of my french account .
Can you please provide me some support ?
A good day to you all.
Audrey

You can access www.appleid.apple.com and open your old account and delete.

I can't edit my site or even create a new one!

I created a website on this computer and it was published - somewhat successfully. The photo albums didn't upload. But, when I open iWeb, I can't edit the site. It doesn't even give me the option to create a new site. My software is up to date

Sorry so late responding. In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.

Can I move my daughter off my account by creating a new one for her and have all her apps/data/music/etc. move to her new account?

I want to split off my daughter from my apple account and set up her own. Once she has her own account she would like to have her apps/data/music, etc. on her iPhone and iPad under the new account as it was under mine. Can I set her up a separate account and then move her apps/data/music, etc., to her new account? If so how do we do this and what are the dangers/pifalls of doing this (if any)?

You can migrate her to a separate iCoud account if you want, but existing purchased media (apps, music, etc.) will still be tied to the existing ID. Purchased media is permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them.
If you want to move her to a separate iCloud account, you can do that and still continue to share the same ID for iTunes purchases. The ID you use for iTunes does not have to be the same as the one you use for iCloud. To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos she wants to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow, then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If she is syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to her so she can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in her new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; your devices will not be effected by this), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password when prompted. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your her account and choose Merge to upload the data.
Once you are both on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

Can I Cancel my Current Apple ID and Create a New One for my iPod Touch?

Hello. I'm new to Apple products. I just bought a 5th Generation iPod Touch and am quite happy with it so far.
I created an Apple ID for it, but used an all-purpose e-mail address with it. I have my own domain, and would like to create a new e-mail account specifically for the Apple ID. (I didn't think about this at the time I created the Apple ID. It was an afterthought.)
So, I was wondering if I could either cancel my current Apple ID and start from scratch with a new e-mail address, or can I just configure the Apple ID and change the e-mail address?
Is this possible? If so, which is the most practical way of doing this? Thank you very much. Jd

Oops, I realized I posted this question in the iPhone section by mistake. Is it possible to delete this message and re-post it over in the iPod Touch section?
My apologies for this mistake. Jd

Can I transfer purchases from my account to a new one for my daughter?

Currently I home share my account with my daughter who is now old enough to have her own account. I want to set up an Apple ID in her name, transfer all of her music and apps and her ipod from my account to this new one on her own laptop. Can anyone please tell me (simply - cos I'm old!) how to do it. Obviously, all of these purchases were made under my ID so is it possible to transfer them to her? Any help gratefully received!

On the other hand, you can use one Apple ID for iCloud and another for store (iTunes, App Store) purchases. Depending on what you mean to include in "content," that could help.
