For some reason or other I can't remember my password for my apple id and when I go to reset it I can't find the email they have sent me.I think they are sending it to my apple email [email protected] which I can't access as they are telling me my password is wrong and send me an email message to this email address which I cannot remember the password for. I am in a vicious circle.Support have emailed me and stated they can't change it?!

Sign in at http://icloud.com with the new ID and password and confirm that your data is still all there.
Then sign out in System Preferences>iCloud then sign back in with the new ID and password. Your data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out, but will reappear when you sign back in.

    HI i have the iphone 4s and for some reason it starts to warm up after using it for then 5 mins...what can i do ??

    Some heating is normal when in use. It's only abnormal if it gets too hot to hold in your hand. If it's in a case, take it out, and move it to a cooler environment. If it gets to be a big concern, make an appointment at a Genius Bar to have it evaluated.

    i have just subscribed for a monthly billing for my acrobat pro XI, the problem is i have clicked on the link on the email that have sent me to activate it but its still not allowing me to acess this and see my PDF's, how to i activate my new license?

    Can you explain the problem in more detail - "not allowing me to access" isn't clear to me. If you get any errors, please give the full wording. If you just don't seem to have any useful functions under TOOLS, make sure you are NOT still running Adobe Reader.

    Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
    This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
    On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library. Note that once done you cannot "share" apps under a single Apple ID. Each of you must purchase your own apps under your own Apple ID. When you decide to split up like this one of you will need to re-purchase the apps that they want to use.
    Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data.  Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
    Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
    Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.
    Note: The essence of the above was created by user, randers4. I
    have made substantial changes to improve readability and syntax.

  • TS1440 I'm trying to fix the "Blinking Grey Folder" issue, but for some reason my MBP won't accept my internet password, how do I advance past this?

    I've got an early 2011 Macbook Pro running the latest OS, but this afternoon it decided to not start properly, and I was faced with the blinking folder of death. Having googled around the subject a bit, it seems the thing to do is boot and hold the option key, then do a few things to sort it if its sortable. However, its asking for my network, and the password. For some reason, it is completely rejecting the password, even though I know thats the correct one (I'm using it now for instance!).
    So how do I move this forward? I'd rather not have to buy a new MBP, but its looking like it might be necessary at this stage, as I need a laptop for my work! I've tried to book into a London apple store, but there are no free slots at any of them.

    If you are experiencing this in the Safe Mode, sometimes Wi-Fi won't work in the Safe Mode.

    Do you have a current backup? Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then reinstall the OS.

  • Can't remember my password for my Game Center account

    Game Center has always signed in automatically from my ipod touch. But all of a sudden not too long ago it asked for my login info and I can't remember my password. There are no FAQs or anything for the app, as far as I can tell, and I don't even know for sure if I'm using the right email address. Any help is appreciated!

  • Can't remember my password for my airport base station

    I am trying to add another device to extend the wifi but I can not remember my password to my airport base station what do I do?

    Reset it.. or find the old password.
    Plug the computer into the airport by ethernet.. or you can do this by wireless..
    Press in reset button for just 1sec.. (means less than 10sec)..
    This is called a soft reset.. all passwords go back to default.. public for the base station.. nothing for wireless..
    You now have full access for 5min.. open the airport utility.. click on the airport.. go to passwords.
    Lo and behold.. all your secret identity available to all and sundry.
    Note.. all security on the airport routers is illusionary.. as long as anyone has physical access to it.. they can find out everything.. and what is more.. there is no record once the 5min expires.
    Sure is great for domestic equipment though... stops support calls dead.

  • How do you get password on old .mac account that has been changed? For some reason my iphone updates wants old mac acct password.  Can I change that to new one I've had for years?

    Years and years ago when I paid for an email address with mac.com I opened my itunes account and all.  After getting tired of paying for an email account I made a new one, which I can't remember but I thought I changed it, but obviously the .mac stayed on.  My itunes is a gmail account and I have no problems there.  But today when I updated my iphone, after downloading, iphone asked me to enter password for the .mac account.  Well I have no idea what that is now.  I don't know how to even retrieve it.  I can't find the settings to change it over to my gmail account either on my phone.  I go to itunes and it has the gmail account listed, but when trying to activate some things that involved the update, it still asks for .mac account password.  I'm beginning to think this is why I can't get authorization on some of my itune songs to play, they keep saying can't authorize when I am still within the 5 computer limit.  I think I'm going to get a Droid...

    its very specific.
    If you are seeing the old Apple ID with regard to this Mac, then it would seem that somehow you have incorporated the ID in the setup of this new Mac.
    Iphoto i use never used imovie.
    If you began using iPhoto without having Accepted it into your Apple ID, then that would explain why you are unable to update the app. If any of the iLife apps are used without Accepting them into your Apple ID, the ability to accept them will lapse and you will not be able to update them.

  • For some reason all of a sudden iWeb is asking me for a password to publish my site and when I put in the password it tells me it is incorrect. Where do I go to fix this?

    I am being asked for a password for my domain in order to publis. When I enter the password an error message says incoorect. What do I do next?

    Try this:
    go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
    login with a bogus username and password like "test" and "test". This clears the caches.
    login with your correct username and password, launch iWeb and try again.
    Next, if necessary, continue with:
    close iWeb.
    delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    reboot.
    launch iWeb and try again.
    Lastly:
    move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
    launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
    go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
    move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
    launch iWeb and try again.
