Changing Apple ID does not change in all Apps

I recently (within the last year) changed my ISP and switched my email account.  The old email was registered to my Apple ID and when I switched, I also changed the email to be my new Apple ID using "manage my apple id" online.  This means that the Apple ID should be the same account, just a different name.  There seemed to be no problems with this change on my iPhone and iTunes, but on my Macbook several applications are still looking for my old email for the Apple ID.  These include iCloud and Messages.
I changed the Apple ID on my user in Users & Groups in System Preferences using the Change... option.  I only have one user on the system and it is the Admin account.  I can't find a way to change this in iCloud however.  Messages isn't much of a problem, but more of an inconvenience.  Every time I log in to my user account, the Messages dialog pops up asking me to sign in with the password to my Apple ID and displays the old one.  I just cancel out of this.  In the Messages application however, I have removed the old account and added the new one and I am able to send and receive messages using it.
Why are these apps still asking me for my old Apple ID when my Admin Apple ID is my new one?

Hi,
iCloud and the iMessages servers are effectively independent of the others.
You can in fact use different IDs for iTunes, iCloud and iMessages.
Start with System Preferences > iCloud.
There is no setting in here for enabling Messages (i.e. it has no links with any form account there).
Use the Sign Out button to disable the current Apple ID and then add the new one.
Do the same in Messages > Preferences > Accounts for the iMessages account.
As you have Mountain Lion use the Details Button then the Sign Out one in the next pane.
I have two of my several Apple IDs listed in th Users and Groups pane but it also is deactivated as regard to changing password resets.
You can alos use an Apple issued email ID as A Valid AIM screen name in Messages (Add under AIM/AOL depending on version)
This means @mac.com and iCloud issued @me.com and @icloud.com can be used as AIM Screen Names.
This may mean you can have it as the iMessages ID and as a Screen name.

  • HT5622 i have changed apple id will not change on itunes

    changed apple id will not change on itunes

    It is one or the other - an entirely new Apple ID or a change to the existing.
    If an entirely new Apple ID, all apps include DRM protection that is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps. You will need to use the former Apple ID and password to update apps that were downloaded with that Apple ID if an entirely new Apple ID was created.

  • Apple id does not change

    dear community,
    I am unable to change my AppleId. If I type in in the prompt and would save it it does not change it. The new ID is not in use everytime.
    Thanks for your support

    I mean the input row to refer the new mail adress (see picture).
    If I would confirm this mail nothing happens.
    My current Apple Id is the @icloud.com mail.
    Thanks for your help

  • When Matching Users Via Email, Changing Email Address Does Not Change Login

    Well, the subject pretty much says it all, but here're some examples of what's going on:
    Initial Data
    - Create 2 Business Partners in SAP, C1 and C2.
    - Create 2 Contact Employees in SAP, Adam with email adam at eden.org in C1 and Eve with no email in C2.
    Synch
    - Run Initial Synch followed by Standard Synch (for good measure).
    - Web Tools gets user Adam with username adam at eden.org.
    - Web Tools gets user Eve with username 2, the unique key for SAP's Contact Employee.
    Data Change In SAP
    - Adam's email is removed.
    - Eve's email is populated with eve at eden.org.
    Resynch
    - Run Standard Synch.
    - Web Tools changes both email addresses, with Adam's being erased and Eve's becoming eve at eden.org.
    - Web Tools does not change the UserID, leaving Adam's as adam at eden.org and Eve's as 2.
    That last bullet is the big problem: if a user changes an email address, the username doesn't change. Is there any way to change this across the board, or perhaps even force users to login via their current email address?

    Also, there is a field in the Users table called EmailLogin. I have tried without success to change this field so that the user would use this field to login instead of the UserID, but have been unsuccessful in getting it to work.
    As an alternative, the login control in /plugins/loginblock.ascx contains, as a portion, the following code:
        protected void loginMain_LoggedIn(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            NPUser user = new NPUser(loginMain.UserName);
            ((NPBasePage)Page).Login(user.UserID, user.AccountID, false);
    Wouldn't it be simple to do the following?
        protected void GetUserIDFromDBByEmail(string email) {
            string userid;
            System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection conn = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection();
            System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand cmd = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand(conn, "SELECT Users.UserID FROM Users WHERE Users.Email='" + email.Replace("'", "''") + "'");
            userid = (string)cmd.ExecuteScalar();
            cmd.Connection.Close();
            conn.Close();
        protected void loginMain_LoggedIn(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            string userid;
            // Though we're passing the "username" from the form,
            // we know that we're expecting the email to be in it
            userid = GetUserIDFromDBByEmail(loginMain.UserName);
            NPUser user = new NPUser(userid);
            ((NPBasePage)Page).Login(user.UserID, user.AccountID, false);
    Again, the benefit to this is that you can synch using the Internal B1 Contact Code, which will remain constant and unique, and have the availability to change the way the user logs in by modifying the email address. Of course, email addresses would have to remain unique as well, but that's an easy enough thing to check for.

  • Changing cell padding does not change margin

    The text in the cell of an existing table is clearly indented from the cell border.   However, the cell padding is set to 0.  When I change the cell padding to 10, 50, or any other number, the text margin does not change.
    I am trying to create another table.  The text in the new table is flush left.  Whatever I set the cell padding to, the text margin does not change.
    The documentation indicates that the only way to change the cell margins is to change cell padding.  Obviously that does not work.  How do I change the cell padding?
    Thank you.
    Cathy

    Can you please anwser couple of queries to nail down the issue?
    1) Please let us know the Contribute Version and OS you are using.
    2) Is this happening with a particular page?
    3) Can you try creating a new blank page, insert a table and modify the Cell Padding value.Check whether it is getting reflected and also verify the cell padding parameter is added in the code.
    4) Previously if it worked and broken suddently, please try clearing the Contribute preference. Refer to the blog post, blogs.adobe.com/contribute/2011/11/launch-contribute-freshly-by-deleting-preferences.html

  • Changing Paper size does not change page break?

    I am using Oracle Report R6i.
    I have created a matrix report showing months horizontally and items vertically. By default, the report displays a vertical line (Page Break Line) at 8 inches (as shown in Ruler).
    I change the paper size in Page Setup Menu but still the page break line displaying at 8 inches due to which only 03 months are displaying per page at Landscape mode. My page size is : 210x230 cm.
    How can I extend that page break line so that atleast 6 months to be displayed per page.
    Regards,
    Luqman

    Changing the size used by the printer with the page setup dialog does not affect how Reports formats the output. You need to change Reports page size for this.
    In 6i, the page size for Reports is controlled by properties against the Section objects (header, main, trailer) in the navigator.
    In 2.5 you would set the vertical and horizontal page size in the Reports property palette for all sections. With the introduction of individual sections in 6i, each section can have it's own page size.
    In your example you probably want to change the page size against the "main section" to 13" x 8.26" to get the report to format in Landscape. Also remember to set the ORIENTATION parameter or property to "Landscape" so that the printer is set to Landscape as well.

  • Text substitution does not work on all apps

    Text substituiton feature works fine in Mac Mail, but does not work in Microsoft Word, excel and others.
    How can I fix this?

    Word and Excel do not support the system level text substitution routines. These work only with native apps like Mail, TextEdit and so forth. Some third-party apps can also tap into them.
    The workaround is simple:
    Preferences>AutoCorrect
    Word will allow you to create any number of text substitutions. They won't, though, interact with native apps like Mail.
    Microsoft Outlook, being more of a native OS X app, does support the system level text functions.

  • My apple TV does not support 1280x720 resolution

    Hi all,
    I have recently bought a apple TV in Greece. However it seems that I cannot make it accept movies (ripped from DVD) with resolution 1280x720 (24 fps). Are apple TVs sold in Greece different from these sold in US ?
    The funny thing is that the greek apple site does not mention at all this resolution in the apple tv specs...

    Are apple TVs sold in Greece different from these sold in US ?I woundn't think so.
    The funny thing is that the greek apple site does not mention at all this resolution in the apple tv specs...720p24 and 720p25 are only supported in the H.264 "Main" profile with average video data rate supposedly limited to 5.0 Mbps and with stereo/"surround" AAC audio limited to 160 Kbps at 48.0 KHz. Make sure your target file output conforms to these settings.

    On i pod touch the orientation does not change when I turn it on it's side when using safari etc.  When viewing youtube it only displays widescreen and will not display portrait , anyone any ideas? is this a fault or do all ipod touch do this?

    The user guide says:
    Movies viewed in Videos and YouTube appear only in landscape orientation. Street views in Maps
    also appear only in landscape orientation.
    Do you have the scree orientation lock turned on? If on there is a circular arrow icon with a padlock inside next to the battery charge icon in the upper right.

    How do I check internet usage history? When i use the "History" tab on the tool bar all I see is today's activity & the calendar does not change when I click on it. Thanks

    zedzed,
    Here's another thought.
    Navigate to HD > Users > Library > Safari: Make a duplicate of History.plist.
    To duplicate the file, click once to highlight it. Press the Command + D keys.
    Drag the History,plist copy file to the Desktop.
    Highlight it. Press the Command + I keys, to get info.
    Change Open With to TextEdit.
    When you open the file in TextEdit, it will be difficult to read, but you will be able to pick out some sites.

  • Why the mouse pointer in Logic Pro does not change shape during work in OSX 10.9.1?

    I've a MacBook Pro Retina 15-inch Late 2013 and I'm using two external displays. One connected to to the HDMI port (display 1) the other to thunderbolt (display 2). The MacBook display is closed. I’m working with Logic Pro 9.1.8 (32bit) with OSX 10.9.1
    Why the mouse pointer in Logic Pro does not change shape during work???
    It was already difficult with OSX 10.9 but now after upgrading to 10.9.1 it's game over!
    At least before I could select which display use Logic Pro to have all the shape functions of the pointer. Not in both displays, so to be forced to edit in ONLY ONE of the two displays using this workaround: (right click on Logic icon in Dock: Option --> Desktop on Display 1). Now or I select “Option --> All Desktops” or does not work. However, by selecting all displays you say goodbye to Mission Control. This can’t be a solution!!!
    The amazing thing is that Nuendo has no problem while Logic Pro, Apple's native software, it can't!
    With Nuendo it’s indifferent in which display you are working, the shape of the mouse pointer changes shape depending on the requirement in both displays.
    This thing drives me crazy!
    Solutions?
    Here some ideas in other foums:
    http://www.logicprohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=86264
    But this aren't really solutions but workarounds. Use Logic in all desktops makes Mission Control useless!!

    I installed all over again by formatting as suggested by the genes of pro application support. Each plug-in, each virtual instrument, a job that lasted 3 days. And as suggested for each new plug-in I proceeded to check the proper functioning of Logic Pro and did each time a back up with Time Machine.
    The Result:
    Logic works as it should ONLY on the primary monitor and ONLY on the first desktop.
    BUT
    Reason and Nuendo dont' have this issue !!
    I believe that Apple developers are thinking only to mobile phones and things like messages or face time.
    And that's not all!
    After a few weeks, perhaps by installing a version of Adobe Acrobat, I say maybe because I'm not sure, logic has stopped working properly. Again problems with the mouse pointer.
    Luckily I had a back up! But now I'm terrified to install new programs. Thanks Apple!
