Can't use email add as password

hello, just got a new macmini with mavericks pre-installed.  I have been using Macs for years and already have an apple id account.  when trying to set up icloud with my email address, or trying to change my username to my email address, it tells me the address is used already.  I have found I have  two accounts, the one I am aware of and use for iTunes etc. and another that was last used in 2006 for Applecare Confluence Wiki. i
I can't remember what this is for.  I have changed the password for the old account, but can't see away to delete or merge the two accounts.  any info on how to proceed?  thanks

You can neither delete nor merge AppleIDs, you just can stop using them.
If iCloud will not accept the AppleID you are using with the iTunes store or AppStore, try if it will accept your second AppleID. When setting up a new AppleID you cannot use a primary email address, that is already in use for another AppleID, so it would be preferable, if you could use one of the appleIDs you already have.

  • Can I use the same administrator password on multiple devices

    Can I use the same administrator password on multiple devices?  (ie) MacBook Pro and Powerbook G 4

    Hello,
    I use the same password on all my Macs. Provided you have set the user accounts with the same password, you will be fine.

  • I want to change my primary email on Apple ID... but it says I can't use email already in use but its not my alternative email - it may have been in the past - any ideas?

    I want to change my primary email on Apple ID but it says I can't use email already in use but its not my alternative email - it may have been in the past - any ideas?

    I don't believe Apple lets you delete old accounts. They also will not let you merge them.

  • HT2101 I can't find the keyboard by using iMessage, but I can by using email or whatsapp? How I reset the keyboard on iMessage?

    I can't find the keyboard by using iMessage, but I can by using email or whatsapp? How I reset the keyboard on iMessage?

    Did you tap in the box at the bottom of iMessage?
    If you did and no keyboard is showing: Do a reset
    Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data
    If that didn't helped, double tap Home button, delete the Message app and reset again.

  • Can I use user names and password of Microsoft Office Outlook for hyperion

    I'm new to Hyperion. Can anyone tell that can I use "user names" and "passwords" of Microsoft Office Outlook for login into hyperion applications.
    I'm not talking about single sign on, but want to use same user names and passwords as that in Outlook.
    ANy suggestions?

    That depends on how your Outlook authentication is configured.
    Hyperion is generally configured to authenticate against a network directory (NTLM, MSAD or LDAP). I'm not an Outlook expert, but my Outlook user ID and password is almost always my MSAD id and password (I change clients regularly, and it's almost always the same situation). So it's also usually the same as my Hyperion ID and password.
    Ask your Outlook administrator whether it uses (or syncs with) MSAD, NTLM or LDAP. If the answer is yes, then you're in good shape because Hyperion can use these as well.
    Hope this helps,
    - Jake

    5 crashes after upgrade to ios my address book immediately and I can not access emails, because the password is wrong and when I go to mail settings crashes the application immediately from 

    Same issue also. Occurring both on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 after upgrading to ios 5
    By the way, Mattban and Sancasslano, are either of you also experiencing any of the following issues:
    * Problems with Contacts either crashing or listing no names
    * Problems with turning iCloud on or off for application under Settings->iCloud... On both mine I just get a pop up saying that iCloud is being turned off but Contacts then just locks up.
    * General problems when trying to synch applications on the iPad or iPhone over iCloud?
    I am wondering if all these issues are in someway related to and whether it is worth trying to turn off iCloud somehow, though I cannot work out how this can be done once set up.

    hi,
    i think you are looking for JTextPane. but that's not all, you have to use document(or inherited classes), Style, StyleConstants, AttributeSet(or inherited classes).
    And all this you have to combine.
    I wish you much fun :-) and good luck.

  • I can't use the add attachment options in mail

    Hi all,
    Im having a little bit of trouble here. Everything was working fine. but all of a sudden I can't add attachments to an email in Mac mail by using the add attachments shortcut button or by file add attachments.
    All that happens is after aproximatley 30 secs the button or 'file' is depressed and i can continue using mail but no attachments window ever appears.
    Its not the end of the world as i can still drag and drop files into the email but it can become a pain when having to scroll through the network to find the attachments i require in finder.
    Please Help.
    Ben

    Please follow these instructions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Quit Mail.
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste (command-V) into the box that opens, then press return. A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you'll have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.

  • Can i use an app specific password on multiple macs

    Simple question.
    I have so far set up 3 app specific passwords.   I have an iMac and an Macbook Air.    I also have an iPad and iPhone.   I have set up the app specific password for Fantastical, which runs on all devices, and BusyContacts.   Do I need to create app specific passwords for each instance of an app I install on multiple devices?  I would run out of the 25 limit pretty quickly.  Is there any way to vies the app specific passwords so I could copy them over to another device?

    BusyMac's help page on the subject says
    'You can create a single app-specific password and use it for multiple apps, such as BusyCal and BusyContacts.'
    This isn't quite what you asked but I would take it as implying that you can reuse the password for other Macs. If you can't you will soon find out. You will need to write down the password and enter it each time.

  • OK since midday today firefox 3.6.24 apparently no longer executes javascript on ebay. Can't use the "add to watch list" buttons or the enlarge photo buttons. It says 'javascript at the bottom of the firefox window but nothing happens.

    just as I wrote above.. ebay loads and functions. I can bid and view auctions but trying to either use the "add to watch list" or "add to wish list" buttons or to switch between different posted photos of an item just gives me javascript:; at the bottom left of my screen but clicking the button has no effect.I'm still running 10.4.11 with the last java download.. is this an ebay change to a newer java version not supported by my os or is it a firefox error..oh and one more thing each page seems to have become 4 times longer..ie there is a huge empty space as I scroll down the page before I hit the bottom.Only appears to do this on ebay..haven't found any other sites showing similar errors and everything works fine on my imac running firefox 4 under 10.5

    but I can't install windows! During the install I am asked for the product key and it tells me that it is not valid and so I can't proceed.
    Craig Stenton: at 12:14:16
    I can't use the usual methods of activation because I cannot get an activation code. I can't use the activation wizard. I can't call the number because it requires an activation code.
    Hi,
    I'm a bit confused with this paragraph, as you said Vista already install on your computer, why did you say Windows can't be installed?
    According to your description with your problem, it is Product edition and key are not match. Firstly of all, we must make sure the system you installed on your computer was
    Windows Vista Business, not matter 32 or 64 bit.
    Note: you can check current system edtion at System Properties.
    After that, you can try to input your product key and activate your system for test.
    If problem still presists, it would be better to provide the activation error message.
