Don't remember username and password from old computer and need to set up my new computer with itunes

I have no idea what my itunes user name and password were from my old computer. I want to restablish my account on my new computer and then to icloud for my new iphone 4s.

Just what do you want to do?
In iTunes you can go to Store and sing out of existing account and sing into your account.
You can sync music and videos from the other computer if you sync by the manual method.

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

HT204085 removing icloud username and password from old iphone

I sold a previously owned iPhone and the person who purchased it cannot create an iCloud account on it. He said my iCloud account is still attached to the iPhone. Is there a way to remove any iCloud username and password from the device?

I need to export photos from my ipod touch that was synced to my old PC which crashed. I have a new PC with itunes. My itouch is backed up to it now but I don't want to sync it because it warns that my itouch content will be erased. Help!

My old PC crashed. I now have a thousand or so pictures on my itouch and nowhere else. I have backed up this itouch to my new PC with itunes. I want to move or copy the pictures from my itouch to a folder on my new PC. The older photos do not show when I look at the folders, just a handfull of new pictures that were saved by game apps on the itouch. What is the best way to do this?

The photos are on the ipod. Photo sync will erase them. I need a way to extract them from the ipod, or to.extract them from the ipod backup that is who knows where on my PC.
I've been searching for an app to do that with no luck. They all seem to want a newer OS than is on my ipod yet I have the most recent update installed.

I need to erase all content and settings from old iPhone 4s. Will doing so affect new iPhone 6 which is using the same iCloud account and Apple ID?

No, it will not affect the iPhone 6 content if you wipe the old iPhone 4s.

Why can't I create a new backup if I don't remember the encryption password from an old backup?

I imagine this is so it can simply edit the old backup, but can't I just create a new backup?

Same issue. Have deleted the old backup and can't create a new encrypted backup without the password for the old backup. Can't create an unencrypted backup without the password for the old backup. This is a functional software defect that Apple needs to fix.
NOTE: I AM NOT TRYING TO ACCESS THE OLD BACKUP, I JUST WANT TO CREATE A NEW ONE.

Old computer crashed, need to recover info to new computer that has FF now installed and somethings setup. Need to pick and chose what is brought over from old

Had to buy new computer and it is windows 8.1 vs the old was XP. It took 10 days to get the cabling to connect the old HD to new computer USB port.
I need the computer for my work so I had to manually configure and set up enough to keep working. This includes FF.
Now that I have access to the old HD I want to selective bring over things from the old FF configuration and set up as I do not want to destroy the what I have already set up and configured. I guess you could say I am looking to do a selective merge of the two configuration and user data files.

See this support article - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Recovering%20important%20data%20from%20an%20old%20profile
Any file that you copy from the old Profile into the new Profile ''(will overwrite the new file)'' will delete the info that is in the new Profile.
Tell us exactly what data you want to actually "merge" and we might have a solution for you. Bookmarks are easy to "merge" once you know how; other types of data aren't as easy to "merge".

I have set up my wireless network and now have moved. How can I set up a new network with a different ip address

I have set up my wireless network on airport express and worked great. I have now moved and have a new internet provider and need to change my ip address. How do I do this

Is your new ISP providing you with a static Public IP address? ... or are they providing you with a dynamic IP address via DHCP (this would be the most common method for consumer-grade Internet service.) Next, which version of the AirPort Utility are you using? Finally, which version of the AirPort Express do you have?

(Junk-)Mail and setting up a new computer

Hi all,
Naturally, I do not very often replace my computer, but every time I need to set up a new computer I run into this issue with Mail.app which annoys me.
I am a relatively heavy mail user (I have about 24.000 messages in my inbox on a gmail-account). I usually do not delete any mail, because I use my e-mail as my memory crutch for things past. However, if an e-mail is junk-mail, which I receive quite a bit, I delete it. To help me to sort the good from the bad, I use the Mail.app built-in junk mail control and generally, I am quite happy with it.
But every time I need to set up a computer from scratch, the following happens:
I set up Mail.app with my accounts.
Then I set the Junk Mail preferences to: "Enable junk mail filtering", "When junk mail arrives: Move it to the Junk mailbox". I have my Mailbox Behaviors set to: "Store junk messages on server".
Mail automatically moves tons of my legitimate old mail (this time more than 600 messages) to my gmail junk mail folder. That means I have to sift through the junk mail folder manually and pull out the legitimate mail while leaving the spam.
This is a big problem for me, because potentially I could lose important older e-mails. I have my accounts set up as IMAP, thus the new machine will screw up my older machines, the iPhone and even the native gmail web-interface.
My question: am I missing an "apply junk mail filter only to new incoming mail but leave my old mail alone"-button? Is there a work-around? Anyone else experiences this problem?
All the best.

Hi, Gustavo, and welcome to the Community,
I know it will sound ridiculous, but if the new account was created using your e-mail address, change that account's password to take control of the account! Remove any of your (or their) information - leave all profile settings as "blank" or "not specified." I would recommend changing the passwords of your Skype account and your e-mail account as well, as proactive measures.
Then, please report this incident to Skype Customer Service. Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
As you know you wish to contact Customer Service, skip past Step 2 of the instruction and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request.
Best regards,
Elaine

If you encrypted the backup, there is no way around it. You will need to configure your iPhone as a new device.
From iTunes: About iOS backups:
In the iTunes Summary screen, select "Encrypt iPhone backup" if you want to encrypt the information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by a padlock icon, and a password is required to restore the information to iPhone. You may want to write down the password for your backup and store it in a safe place. If you use a Mac, when you set a password you can select to store the password in the keychain. With iOS 4 and later, you can transfer the iOS keychain backup to a new device if you encrypt the backup.
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

Just got an iphone 4 from my dad and its his old iphone and i was gonna delete his account so i can put my account on the iphone but he does not remember the password so I couldnt delete it. I need help deleting it without a password

If the iPad has Activation Lock - that is, it's asking for the previous owner's Apple ID and password to activate the device or to turn off Find My iPhone - then you will need that information. There's no way around it If your father can't remember the password, he'll need to recover it.
http://iforgot.apple.com
If he can't do it via that page, then he'll have to call Apple Support and ask to speak with Account Security.
If that's not the "password" you meant, please post back and clarify.
Regards.

If you changed your Apple ID from the old email address (that is showing up) to a new one, but just forgot to update it on your iPhone, try these steps.
1. Use your current Apple ID password
Trying using your current Apple ID password. If that doesn't work, continue to the next step.
2. Sign out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime
If you are currently signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
Sign out of iMessage or FaceTime:
iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign back in to iMessage or FaceTime:
iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages, then tap "Use your Apple ID for iMessage".
FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, then tap "Use your Apple ID for FaceTime".
You should now be able to sign out of iCloud. You will still see your previous Apple ID when signing out.
If you are not signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
Sign in to iMessage or FaceTime:
iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages, then tap "Use your Apple ID for iMessage".
FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, then tap "Use your Apple ID for FaceTime".
You should now be able to sign out of iCloud. You will still see your previous Apple ID when signing out.
3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.
