  • I am trying to log onto a Mac Mini I haven't used in awhile and I forgot the password. I am trying to reset the password with my apple ID but the computer keeps saying the Apple ID and the password are incorrect whenever I know they are.

    I am trying to log onto a Mac Mini I haven't used in awhile and I forgot the password. I am trying to reset the password with my apple ID but the computer keeps saying the Apple ID and the password are incorrect whenever I know they are, as I am using the exact same ID right now.
    I have switched my password in the past, so my theory is my mac mini thinks that my password has not changed and it will not update because The Wi-Fi password has also changed so it cannot connect to any servers...Does that sound like I am on the right track?
    Is there a way to update my Wi-Fi password  (saved into the computer) without logging on?

    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.

  • My iCloud is disabled. I've reset my password numerous times, but that doesn't help. Can someone please tell me how can I log onto my iCloud

    My iCloud is disabled. I've reset my password numerous times, but that doesn't help. Can someone please tell me how can I log onto my iCloud

    If your ID is disabled, you'll have to contact Apple for assistance, either by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Produces & Services>Apple ID>iTunes Store, App Store or Mac App Store>Disabled Apple ID, or by contacting the Apple account security team: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.

    Hi kmkrodel,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having issues accessing iCloud on your Mac or iPad after a change in your Apple ID password, you may find the following article helpful:
    iCloud: Account troubleshooting
    On the other hand, if you are talking about sharing files from your Mac to specific apps on your iPad via iTunes, then this article may be of more use (Note: When using this function, you will only see apps that support file sharing, not all apps on the device):
    iOS: About File Sharing

  • Why am i not receiving iMessages on my phone but when i log onto my mac they are all there?

    I am not getting my iMessages on my phone. but when in log onto my mac they come up on my messages here. what can i do o fix this i need to be able to recieve meaages on my phone on the go.

    I think you answered your own question.  If I read what your wrote correctly, you sent yourself a message to your phone number and you are wondering why it was not recieved on your iPad?  If that is what you wrote, the reason is your iPad is not a cell phone and messages sent to a cell number, will not be received on your iPad.  To send a message from your iPhone to your iPad using iMessage, you need to send the message to the email address you specified when you set up iMessage on your iPad. 

  • How can I log onto iCloud from my iPad when the option is in grey and therefore not available

    How can I log onto iCloud from my iPad when the option is in grey and therefore not available. I deleted my account as it was showing up with an old Id ( I'd changed my email) but now I've done that it won't give me the option of logging back on. Do I have to do this on another device Or computer linked to iTunes first?
    THanks

    Hi Kate, have you perchance enabled restrictions on your device. (Settings > General > Restrictions)

  • I have my ITunes account on my home Macbook.  Can I log onto my ITunes account from a different Windows-based computer?

    I have my ITunes account on my home Macbook.  Can I log onto my ITunes account from a different Windows-based computer?

    Yes, but your iTunes library won't automatically show up on a different computer; putting it there is a separate process.

  • HT1925 I have upgraded to itunes 11.3.8. My library is showing, however I can't log onto itunes. I have logged in with my apple id, but it doesn't come up. Help?

    I have upgraded to itunes 11.3.8. My library is showing, however I can't log onto itunes. I have logged in with my apple id, but it doesn't come up. Help?
    When I click on itunes store within itunes, the screen comes up blank. I'm using a macbook pro.

    I have the same problem. Unfortunately, the troubleshooting link you added has the first step listed as "Verify that FaceTime is enabled in FaceTime > Preferences" which we (the original poster and I) can't do as our Preferences are greyed out. We can't click on them to verify anything.
    In FaceTime itself it's verified my apple id (also double checked via the site) and then it says the email is "verified" but then it freezes and after a minute or so it says "Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again."
    After checking the network connection, it still doesn't work. It's rather frustrating as it all worked fine until about a week or two ago.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Two iMacs each with separate Apple ID.  Can I merge onto one Mac?

    Two iMacs each with separate Apple ID.  Can I merge onto one Mac?

    Yes, you can use the same computer for BACK UPS, RESTORING AND UPDATING. But that is it.
    You cannot, however, use it to sync the different devices. iTunes will only recognize one device to sync with and if you sync any other devices with that iTunes library, it will replace what is on the phone with whatever is in the library. It cannot differentiate between devices. At most, it will jsut recognize that the phone has been synced with a different iTunes library.
    So if you would like to use the same computer for backing up, restoring and updating, just make sure to turn of Automatic Syncing in your iTunes Preferences.

  • Why isn't my outlook opening when I log onto my mac?

    why isn't my outlook opening when I log onto my mac?

    It's probably sleeping in... 
    Look in System Prefs>Accounts for the Login Items. If Outlook is on the list, it may be unchecked. If it's not on the list, add it.
    hope this helps

  • I can't log onto my WiFi with my Touch

    I'm using my Touch, AirPort Express and the remote app to control iTunes and play music through my stereo.
    I like it but I'm having some problems. For some reason I can't log onto my own wifi with the touch when I have the wireless network secured, even when I type in the networks password. When I have the wireless security disabled it works fine but when I make the wireless connection secure I can't log on.
    Does anybody know how I can solve this problem? I love the set up but it does me no good if I'm vulnerable to hackers. What am I doing wrong?
    I don't know if it matters but I have a Linksys router.

    I have a PC if this helps.

    Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo.
