  • I have just acquired an iMac desktop. I want to sign on to my airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network.

    I have just acquired an iMac desktop (about 4 years old). I want to connect to my Apple airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network and don't want to jeopardize what already works well. I am not all that computer literate.

    How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it.
    Read the user manual that came w/your Airport router or you can cross-post in one of the  AirPort Forums for instructions.

    I restored my ipad but i was unable to activate it because it is askimg me for the apple id and password eith which i originally set it up. I know the apple id although i do not remember ever using it but i cannot remember the password. I have tried everything from reserting my password to trying different passwords but it asks me for a custom question that i dont remember creating.

    You need to use Apple's iForgot service or contact their Account Security team.

    Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:

    To restore from backup see:

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • HT1920 I no longer have access to the recue email and cannot remember my password how do I process to gain access to my iTunes account?

    I no longer have access to my recue email address and cannot remember my password how can I gain access to my itunes account? I have opened a new itunes ID but would like to transfer over all my music from my old account
    Best regards
    Philip

    You can't transfer any content from one account to another account, all content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it.
    If this page doesn't let you get access to your old account : http://iforgot.apple.com, then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get access to it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 (if you've also forgotten the answers to your security questions then they should also be able to reset them)
    When you've got access to your account you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

    Unfortunately, you must restore it in iTunes on your computer.   There is no way to retrieve a forgotten pass lock code.
    You will need to Restore your device from the same computer that you most recently synced to. See - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.

  • I moved from USA to South Africa and now cannot play my music on my new PC.  I cannot remember the password for my USA account so cannot deauthorize that account to allow me to play my music on my South African account.  How can I now play the music?

    I moved from USA to South Africa and now cannot play my music on my new PC.  I cannot remember the password for my USA account so cannot deauthorize that account to allow me to play my music on my South African account.  How can I now play the music?  When I try to use my secret questions to access my old account I am told I have the wrong answers, including my own birth date!!!

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • HT204053 My email address has changed.  My apple ID for iCloud is my old email address and I cannot remember the password. Verification is sent to my old email address and I cannot retrieve it.  Any suggestions

    My email address has changed. I have my icloud acct sending stuff to an email that is no longer in service. I cannot remember the password and it keeps sending messages to an old email acct to try to change the password. Any suggestions.

    Go to appleid.apple.com and click in the reset password option.  You maybe able to reset using the security questions option.  If you can't, contact support using expresslane.apple.com email option, or call the AppleCare support line.

  • I cannot remember my password to long into computer.

    I am trying to download the updated Adobe Flash and cannot remember my password to log into my MAC.  It's not the same as my Apple password.  Any help?

    Hi,
    You can reset your login password by using your Apple ID. For more info on login password see here.

  • I cannot remember my password

    I am trying to use software update, but for the life of me, I cannot remember the password.  Even the clue does not help.  How can I reset this?

    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.

  • I cannot remember my password for volume limit on iPod shuffle

    I cannot remember the password for volume control on iPod shuffle.

    Hello sasrichey,
    You'll need to restore your iPod if you cannot recall the code used to lock the volume limit.
    Note: If you forget the combination, you can restore iPod.
