I changed my ICloud account ID but my new phone won't let me change it unless I put in my old password and turn off the find my phone feature. But the phone will not recognize my old password. Can someone help me?

New iPhones don't come setup with an Apple ID/Password. What you're experiencing is called Activation Lock, & unless you know the original Apple ID/Password that was originally used to first activate this phone, you won't be able to reactivate it.
You can login to iCloud.com, from any computer, use Find My Phone to locate & erase the phone. But, you'll still need to know the original Apple ID/Password to reactivate it.

Quit Safari completely, clear Safari and reboot the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the Safari app icon. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up

So on my MacBook Pro, a friend tried signing into the guest account. It's been stuck on the loading screen for 3 days and hasn't let me cancel the request and login to the original account. What can I do?

Hold the power button down for 10 seconds. It will power down your Mac. You can then start it up again and see if you can log in normally.

ICal keeps sending alarms for past events and won't let me delete items from calendar, I hit delete but the event just keeps multiplying on my calendar?

iCal just started repeatedly sending me alarms a couple of days ago. I thought deleting the event from my calendar would help but it won't let me delete them, they just keep multiplying in my calendar. Help please

Hello again,
Well I seem to have overcome the problem, but not easily, and not by identifying the cause. I don't like that I don't know what caused the trouble. I make no guarantees, but this is what I did (on an iMac with Snow Leopard 10.6.8). Be sure to create backup copies of your files first:
[Note: before you do any of this, you may want to try running Disk Utility program (found in Applications/Utilities/) and run the "Repair Permissions" option. See if that solves anything, but it didn't for me]
a) I exported my iCal as an archive: Menu item, "File/Export/iCal Archive...". This won't likely do you any good, though, as something was wrong with it and I could not re-import it. But try anyhow.
b) After backing them up, I deleted the folders and contents inside the Calendars folder: "Users/<your user name>/Library/Calendars/<subdirectories>". To create a backup, right-click on the Calendar folder and choose "compress Calendars" from the pop-up menu. Then drag the folder contents into the trash.
c) After creating backup copies, delete (drag into the trash) these preferences files found in "Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences" (the slashes delimit the folder names):
Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist
Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.helper.plist
Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.iCal.helper.<some convoluted hex number>.plist
d) Restart your computer;
e) Launch iCal and reimport the individual calendar files you exported earlier.
Hopefully all is well.
Let me emphasize again that you will not likely succeed in reimporting the calendar archive. In the first place it likely contains corrupted data that caused your trouble in the first place. So you will need to import the individual calendars that have been exported. Be very certain to export these individually first.
And if you want to make doubly certain, then copy and paste some of your important and key events into a TextEdit file and save that file in case you don't succeed.
Perhaps you subscribed to some online calendar? If I recall correctly I had imported a calendar when the World Cup Soccer series was happening; I speculate that might have contributed to the issue. I wish I could have found exactly what caused the trouble. It may have been some older, less compatible format that was retained through a series of Mac OS updates.
Good luck.

Iphone 5s won't let me delete a song, and its a christmas song that I don't want on my phone.

I don't understand why the Iphone 5S won't let me delete artist, instead I have to delete each song. Does apple know how annoying that is? Espcially when every frickin song Glee has ever reease goes on my new phone. I already hate this phone and i just got it yesterday. I'm done with Apple, they need to get there **** together.

You purchased it originally, and so it remains. I have two albums which I now don't want. I called about it before I got my 5s and was told there was no way, because it was a purchase I made. When I got my 5s I was hoping I could get rid of them, but you can't. They don't want people's music to disappear and then want it back. It is frustrating, but they feel they are helping people.

Using multiple Google calendars through my iPhone, my work calendar treats my personal calendar like a separate account and won't let me modify the events from my phone.

I have multiple calendars on my Google account, though I mostly use my work calendar and my personal calendar. The personal calendar is the main one attached to my Gmail account. My problem is that when I create an event on my work calendar, it registers it weirdly: it says that my work calendar invited "me" (my personal calendar) to attend. This means that I'm left with limited options, either to "accept" the event, which copies it from my work calendar to my personal calendar (not what I want, since I have two separate calendars for a reason), or "decline," which makes the event visible on my computer, but invisible on my iPhone. I also can't modify any of these events from my phone - all I can do is RSVP. Since my schedule changes day to day and I need to add notes and constantly modify the events, this is a huge inconvenience and is having a negative effect on my work because it has led to my messing up appointments.
Events have also been disappearing from my phone, despite the fact that they're visible on my computer, and I think that's because they're events of that type, where my work calendar somehow invited "me" to them, but they are hidden on my phone. I have changed sharing permissions so that I am allowed to modify events in every way from every side, though it's really all on the same account, so I don't understand why this is happening.
Has anyone been through a similar situation?

Whenever a menu choice is grayed out, that is because you have Restrictions turned on in Settings. Be sure to turn it off.
You are confusing an itunes store account with an icloud account. You two can continue using the same ID for itunes (thus sharing purchased music, apps, etc.), but you really should have separate accounts (different IDs) for icloud, since an account is intended for one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
To create a new icloud account, go to
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Then go to Settings>icloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Delete Account. (have restrictions turned off) That will disconnect the device from the account but will not delete data in icloud or other devices. Then sign in using the new ID.

Why is it my pod touch 4th gen version 4.3.3 won't let me delete some pictures, says total gb is 6.5, and won't let me upgrade the firmware

My iPod touch is version 4.3.3 and recently I was thinking I'm sick of my iPods memory always being full so I can't take pictures. My memory has allowed at max 6.5 gb which is highly annoying so I started by trying to delete photos for room and I deleted about 300 and it didn't allow any more memory so I went to delete 41 more and they wouldn't delete for some reason. So I resorted to upgrading my I.o.s. But when I began downloading it onto my actual iPod an error popped up and it wouldn't let me.
So, my question is how do I get those 41 pictures to delete, make my max capacity of gigabytes higher than 6.5 when it's suppose to have 8, and lastly how can I get my iOS to upgrade?

- An 8 GB iPod only has about 6.5 GB available to the user. The difference is due to the iOS taking uop the difference. Also see:

- What was the error that apeared when you tried to updaet the iOS?

Firefox will not open new windows, opens with session restore every time I use it, and won't let me open the throubleshooting tab... Why?

Whenever I try to open a new window, nothing happens. This includes clicking ctrl+N and through the drop down menu.
Also, whenever I start firefox to browse the internet, it always open with a Session Restore with the previous session listed, even though I closed all the tabs and shut it down normally without any prompts telling me about saving multiple tabs.
Finally, when I tried to troubleshoot this problem, the tab never appeared. The only options that work on the Help Menu are:
- Firefox Help (after a few clicks)
- Report Broken Web Site
- Check for Updates
- About Firefox

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Downloaded Mountain Lion from App Store, but it says by disk is locked and won't let me choose the hard drive for installation

I'm struggling to get Mountain Lion installed on my machine, but what is worse is that it has essentially rendered my computer useless (and of course I need to use it urgently). After downloading and installing from the App Store, I have run into some significant problems.
On install, when prompted to "select the disk where you want to install OS X" the hard drive is greyed out and a message comes up that says "The disk is locked."
So when I back out of the install, I am given the option for Disk Utility, Reinstall OS X (same results as before) or Restore from Backup (not backed up).
On the Disk Utility, I can hit Verify Disk and it names an error and says to hit Repair Disk. The error is an "Invalid Sibling Link. The volume Macintost HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired." Unfortunately, Repair Disk is greyed out and I can't hit it.
What I want to do is just forget the entire process at this point and scrap the upgrade until I have time to figure out what is going on. Is there a way to abort at this point?
Thanks for any help!

Your welcome!
You should always have and keep an up to date backup.
Sounds like you need something a little stronger than Disk Utility. At this point I have no way of knowing if Disk Warrior can or will help.
Depends..!
If you do format and install, then Yes it will.
If you reinstall OS X, then No it will not.
Problem is that according to the Disk Utility message, I don't think that you will be able to install either 10.6 or 10.8.
Those are very good questions. The only bad questions are the ones you have to ask yourself.

TS3988 I am waiting for an email to authenticate my iCloud but it hasn't come . I deleted the account and tried again and still no email to authentate

Can anyone help my iCloud will not send an email to authenticate my account. I have deleted and tried several times. I am about to give up

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

For some reason my phone is using another number and won't let me delete the number and select my own numbers. Any reasons why
