I had to reset my Apple password and now my iTunes and iCloud passwords no longer work. How do I get them linked again and under the same password. I've tried my new password on each login screen and it isn't accepted.

Hi skippy2012trev,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, 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. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Joe

I can't get my iMac to accept a CD/DVD disc. It acts like there's already one in there but there isn't. Tried the help menu but nothing worked.Suggestions?

I can't get my iMac to accept a CD/DVD disc. It acts like there's already one in there but there isn't. Tried the help menu but nothing worked.Suggestions?

Thank you, Allen. My iMac is a 2009. I can't shine a light into the disc drive slot as it has a built in whisker cover that prevents anything from getting in. It will accept a disc half way in before the disc reaches a springy obstruction.
About 3 weeks ago, the computer locked up so I inserted the OS disc and reinstalled it. In general, the computer works just like it used to but we've had a few quirks appear; for example, this is one of them. Also, we can't figure out how to keep from having to sign-in when we turn the computer on. Also, we can't access our one on-line account anymore. Very strange.

P.S.: Just realized I mis-spelled your name. Sorry Allan.

iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
Is this happening with one particular network or with all? Make sure iOS is updated on the device.
Try this:
Reboot ipad by pressing and holding both the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go. Then try to connect to network.
Go to settings, Toggle airplane mode on/off. Make sure bluetooth is off. Turn on wif (airplane mode off). Try to connect.
Reset Network Settings
Go to settings/general/reset/reset network settings. Then try to connect to network.
If its your home router, then reboot router by unplugging for 5-10min. (do this while you're resetting network settings).
If problem persists, then check for firmware updates on your router.(you check router manufacturer support website for downloads and instructions).

Get-rid of the format we get using Get-ADuser in a CSV. Send CSV data in an email in table format

Hi,
I am using get-ADuser in order to extract a few AD attributes of some users. I export the users and their respective attributes to a CSV. However, the output in CSV i get has the following format in each cell for its AD attribute.
@{description=<Value>} or @ { info=<Value>}
I have tried to use Expandproperty switch in order to get rid of it but it does not accept null values and hence if a user has no value for a said attribute, the previous value is copied for that user too. However, without expand property it gives me the
above format in the output.
$Desc = Get-ADUser $Username -Properties description | select description
I would like the cells to contain only values and not this format along.
Also, once I have the CSV with values I would also like to copy the values from CSV in an email in the form of a TABLE. I have been able to copy the content in an email using the following however, this in not in a table format.
$mail = Import-Csv $newlogonfile | Out-String
Please HELP!

Yes I am already using Export-Csv but still getting the same kind of format in output :-
$Username = $Event.Properties[5].Value
$Title_var = get-aduser $Username -properties Title | select Title
$Ofc_phone = get-aduser $Username -Properties OfficePhone | select OfficePhone
$Info_var = get-aduser $Username -properties info | select info
$Display_Name = get-aduser $Username -properties DisplayName | select DisplayName
$Mail = Get-ADUser $Username -Properties Mail | select Mail
$Desc = Get-ADUser $Username -Properties description | select description
$Props = @{
User = $Event.Properties[5].Value;
TimeCreated = $Event.TimeCreated;
LogonType = $Event.Properties[8].Value;
DCName = $Event.MachineName;
Workstation_address = $Event.Properties[18].Value;
Title = $Title_var;
OfficePhone = $Ofc_phone;
Info = $Info_var;
DisplayName = $Display_Name;
Description = $Desc;
EMail = $Mail
$LogonRecord = New-Object -TypeName psobject -Property $Props
$Result += $LogonRecord
$Result | Export-Csv -Path $logFile -append -UseCulture -NoTypeInformation # Log it to CSV
OUTPUT has values in this format in the CSV :-
@{info=} @{description=abc} @{DisplayName=} @{Officephone=}
@{Mail=[email protected]}

Get-ADUser Script Runs but issues error command before returning all results

Greetings;
I am running Windows Server 2008-R2 and try to execute a PowerShell command as follows:
I am trying to locate user objects that have been inactive since September 1 and do not have any Exchange mailboxes. The query does run and I do get a number of records, however, the error is issued, as shown above.
can you please shed some light as to why I am getting this error message? I do appreciate your time.
Behrooz

I see this thread isn't answered yet, so I'm taking another shot at it. I am positive my script is going to give you the results you are looking for. I have reproduced this in my lab.
What I did:
- I created a set of users in an OU in my domain.
- I populated the 'employeeType' property on a handful of them
- I created mailboxes fora subset of those users on my Exchange server
- I did NOT log in with any of these accounts, but that is the easy part.
Run this query and you will get a returned set of accounts that:
- Have not logged on since 9/1/2013
- Do NOT have a mailbox (this is query-able through Get-ADUser because the HomeMDB property is only populated when you have a mailbox. Using the Exchange tools is not necessary)
- Accounts that do NOT have any anything in their 'employeeType' property.
Get-AdUser -filter * -properties * |
Where-Object {$_.HomeMDB -eq $NULL -AND
$_.employeeType -eq $NULL -AND
$_.lastlogondate -ge "9/01/2013"} |
Select displayname,distinguishedname,samaccountname,employeetype |
Export-Csv "employeetype.csv" -notypeinformation
** This result is going to find people with NO employeeType. If that is the opposite of what you're looking for, change that like from -eq (equal) to -ne (not equal) or you can use -like and -notlike. Both give the same results.
Your results will export to a CSV and will not print to the screen. Again, with the way this is written, the employeetype column will be empty.
If you want to copy and paste this script, please paste it into the ISE and push play. If you save it as a .ps1, you'll have to ensure you have the appropriate executionpolicy set (Open PS as an admin, run 'set-executionpolicy unrestricted')
If you chose to run it in a PS window as is, please ensure this whole syntax is all on one line.
Okay! Come back and tell me you were successful and mark me as the answer!! :)

How do I use Get-ADUser to get just the Managers attribute? And then get rid of duplicates in my array/hash table?

Hello,
I am trying to just get the Managers of my users in Active Directory. I have gotten it down to the user and their manager, but I don't need the user. Here is my code so far:
Get-ADUser-filter*-searchbase"OU=REDACTED,
OU=Enterprise Users, DC=REDACTED, DC=REDACTED"-PropertiesManager|SelectName,@{N='Manager';E={(Get-ADUser$_.Manager).Name}}
|export-csvc:\managers.csv-append
Also, I need to get rid of the duplicate values in my hash table. I tried playing around with -sort unique, but couldn't find a place it would work. Any help would be awesome.
Thanks,
Matt

I would caution that, although it is not likely, managers can also be contact, group, or computer objects. If this is possible in your situation, use Get-ADObject in place of Get-ADUser inside the curly braces.
Also, if you only want users that have a manager assigned, you can use -LDAPFilter "(manager=*)" in the first Get-ADUser.
Finally, if you want all users that have been assigned the manager for at least one user, you can use:
Get-ADUser
-LDAPFilter "(directReports=*)" |
Select @{N='Manager';E={ (Get-ADUser
$_.sAMAccountName).Name }}
-Unique | Sort Manager |
Export-Csv .\managerList.csv -NoTypeInformation
This works because when you assign the manager attribute of a user, this assigns the user to the directReports attribute of the manager. The directReports atttribute is multi-valued (an array in essence).
Again, if managers can be groups or some other class of object (not likely), then use Get-ADObect throughout and identify by distinguishedName instead of sAMAccountName (since contacts don't have sAMAccountName).

We have two iphones and only one ipad. We want to be able to use "find my iphone" for both phones, which have separate apple ids. How do we get our ipad to accept this?

We have two iphones and only one ipad - no mac. We want to be able to use "find my iphone" for both phones. How do we get the ipad to accept two iphone accounts? icloud is enabled on all three devices.

Also, be aware of the following:
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. Something as small as an iPod/iPhone should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

Is there a way to speed up Get-QADUser or Get-ADUser?

Hello, I was wondering if there was a way to speed the commands up to query faster? My one-liner looks like:
Get-ADUser -SearchBase "OU=People,DC=Domain,DC=Company,DC=Net" -Filter {Title -eq "Job Title"} -ResultSetSize $null -Properties * | Select SamAccountName, DisplayName, Manager
Are we able to somehow omit property fields that it looks up? Would that help?
I've tried looking through Google and couple of forums, but could not find the answer.
I have used a tool called "ADFind" and was able to get the results in less than 5 minutes, but Powershell seems to take WAYY longer to do this.
Thank you!

Hi,
Yes, drop the wildcard from Properties and only request the properties that you're interested in.
Out of curiosity, how many users are returned by this query?

Can someone please tell me a simple but effective method for burning a slideshow to DVD? Now that the connection between iPhoto and iDVD no longer exists, I can't figure out a way to get there with an acceptable quality result.

Can someone please tell me a simple but effective method for burning a slideshow to DVD? Now that the connection between iPhoto and iDVD no longer exists, I can't figure out a way to get there with an acceptable quality result.

Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

Did you consider using one of the "workarounds" below to run an existing version of the AD Module for PowerShell under a specific PowerShell version:
a. #require -version 3.0 (in ps1 script)
b. powershell -version 3.0
Thank you for sharing with us if this helps.

Setting default value to NULL values when using Get-ADUser

I am running a simple command of
Get-ADUser -properties * | Select firstname, lastname, department | Export-Csv results.csv -NoTypeInformation
If the users department field is NULL, I would like to set a default value of "NODEPT" within my CSV results. I have tried a ForEach loop statement but I can't seem to figure this one out.
What is not explicitly allowed should be implicitly denied

Hi,
Try this:
Get-ADUser -Filter * -Properties department |
Select GivenName,Surname,@{N='Department';E={ If ($_.Department) { $_.Department } Else { 'NODEPT' } }} |
Export-Csv .\userList.csv -NoTypeInformation

Get-ADUser and Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership combined

I'm trying to get a list of template user account and what their membership are exported to a csv file. I'm trying to combine the tables on them but having a hard time figuring it out. I spent the day racking my brain on this and figured I would reach out
for help. This gets all my template users.
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
$User = "*Template*"
$usernames = (Get-ADUser -Filter "DisplayName -like '*$User*'" -Properties * | format-table Displayname, SamAccountName)
$usernames
I can use this to get all the members of the groups, but since the groups repeat it doesnt break down where one user stops and the others begin.
$groups = Get-ADUser -Filter "SamAccountName -like '*$Usr*'" -Properties DisplayName | foreach-object{Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -Identity $_.SamAccountName} | format-table name
I was thinking of joining the tables but that wasnt much help to me since I cant figure out what to join on. I also thought about looping through the first table with a foreach loop but it was assigning the whole table in the first pass and displaying nothing.
If anyone could help or suggest something, I would greatly appreciate.
Matt

Hi Matt,
Give this a shot:
Get-ADUser -Filter "DisplayName -like '*Template*'" -Properties MemberOf | ForEach {
$username = $_.SamAccountName
$_.MemberOf | ForEach {
$props = @{
Username = $username
GroupName = (Get-ADGroup $_).Name
New-Object PsObject -Property $props
} | Sort Username,GroupName |
Select Username,GroupName |
