Have one apple id but 2 profiles/ nicknames in games centre but can't log out of one nickname and into another.

So family has apple id- we all use it. In the past I have set up two different profiles for Games Centre so that my son can play his ipad. He asked me what his nickname is, which we have. But when you enter the games centre it asked for your apple id and password but then gives my profile on his ipad and not his. I can not figure out a way to switch it to his profile. I know one exists because I can see that I am friends with him. He has an ipad mini- up to date software etc.

Hi lulurats,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
It is possible to have one Apple ID that everyone uses for iTunes Store purchases, etc.
But each member of the family would have to have their own Apple ID for Gamecenter, iCloud, etc.
I'm including some information below for GameCenter in particular and Apple ID in general:
Using Game Center
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4314
You can change the account you are signed into by:
iOS: Tap Settings > Game Center.
OS X: Click the Me tab in the Game Center app and click on your Account.
Note: Please note each Apple ID has its own associated scores, achievements, and friends.

Game Center settings
Go to Settings > Game Center, where you can:
Sign out (tap your Apple ID)
Allow invites
Let nearby players find you
Edit your Game Center profile (tap your nickname)
Get friend recommendations from Contacts or Facebook
Specify which notifications you want for Game Center. Go to Settings > Notifications > Game Center. If Game Center doesn’t appear, turn on Notifications.
Change restrictions for Game Center. Go to Settings > General > Restrictions.

I have two apple accounts, but can only access one. I did all the steps to recover the older account's password but nothing worked. I need to access the older account to update apps. Also would there be a way to just combine both accounts?

Were you able to reset the account's password ? If not then how did you try to get it reset e.g. http://iforgot.apple.com (which would have sent it to the rescue email address if you have one on that account) ? You can also try contacting iTunes Support in your country to get it reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
And no, accounts can't be merged nor content transferred between accounts.

As note already on the iBA forum [ AppleID for ibooks publishing ], you need two IDs. You can't use your developer ID.
If you already signed up for books with that ID, you need to talk to Apple to straighten things out.

I have all the documents, but can't locate my discs - need iphoto and can't get without the original.

If you buy used you have to be careful. I am not sure what software came with which system versions and which computers but the iLife application history is complex. If you end up looking for "original" discs such as those that came with your computer, make sure iPhoto was part of it, and make sure the discs you buy are really identical to the ones for your computer model. A lot of people sell gray colored discs as installer discs, but the versions are machine specific so getting any old Tiger installer may not work on your computer. Unfortunately the universal Tiger installer may not have iPhoto. Maybe somebody more familiar with the iPhoto history can provide specific advice.
An alternative is to look for a used iLife series that will work on your computer. Again, this will have to be used. Apple's staying ahead of the curve basically means those of us with old machines are left to fend for ourselves as best we can.

I have 2 iphones, one for personal and one for business. I need my phones not to sync otherwise they will both ring all the time. How can I log out of my icloud and unsync my phones?

Syncing your phones to the same iCloud account won't cause them to both ring all the time, it only puts the same contacts, calendars, and other synced data on the phone. The phones will only ring with someone calls the number associated with the phone.
If you want to stop using iCloud on one or both of the phones, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then choose Keep On My iPhone when prompted. This will disconnect them from iCloud and keep a copy of the synced data on the phone.

I have NO apple products but I need to view a shared iCloud calender from another user. How can I do this? He does not want it public.

Basically the subject says it all. I do not have any apple products. I do have an apple ID but apple wont let me set up an icloud account without any apple products. I was invited to view a shared calender by an Apple user that I NEED to be able to view. It is a private, invite-only calender. Apparently apple wont let me view this shared calender without an iCloud account (even though I still have an apple ID regular account). I cannot set up an iCloud account without a Mac or an iOS products, which I do not own. This is ridiculous but there has to be a work around. Any suggestions?

I would love to setup an iCloud ID. Trust me, I would love nothing more. Apple wont let me without an Apple device.

I need to find out how to re-set icloud id on my iphone. I already had an apple id which is a family id. I used it as my id when setting up my new company phone. I have new apple id but can't change icloud phone. Still recognizes old id.

I have a new company iphone. When setting it up I used a current "family" apple id I created for the children's itouch's. I realized after the fact that all of their contact/content dat is syncing to my business phone. I created a new apple id for the phone,logged out of the old id and in with the new on my phone. However, it will not allow me to make this same change for icloud on the phone. The icloud is still associated to the old id. How can I change my phone icloud to sync with my new apple id and stop getting the kids content?

In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

HT1414 my iPhone was stolen but I got it back. Now I can not activate it coz i don't have the Apple ID nor the password from the thief. How can i log in my own Apple ID to activate my iPhone?

Hi,
My iPhone was stolen before, but luckily i got it back.
Now i cannot activate it with my own Apple ID because the system kept asking me to enter the previous user's Apple ID (yes, the theif)
So I cannot use my iPhone now.
Please kindly tell me what to do and how to do it. I want to use my iPhone with iOS 7!!
Thank you.

Doesn't matter. And if they have any property at all, it's worth the $50 filing fee for small claims court in most places.
If nothing else, filing could force Apple to disclose the email address and other information that was used to activate the stolen phone and lock it, leading to the identity of the thief or someone else involved in the crime.
For me, it would be well worth the $50 even if all I got was an attachment of future wages. Since i don't have the legal right to just shoot the bastage, it's the next best thing.

I have an adobe ID but can't log in on Digital Editions with it. Only allow my 3M login to show

I've been trying to authorize my devices on Digital Editions but it won't allow me to use my Adobe Log In - will only show my 3M Cloud Library information. How can I get the Adobe ID back? I've uninstalled and reinstalled DE many times and I feel like I'm running in a circle

HT4095 I have downloaded a movie but can't figure out how to play it help?

I can't view the movie I have downloaded. Please help

Did you purchase it from iTunes Store? Then, if it's in the desktop iTunes, just synch it to the iPad: http://ipod.about.com/od/ipad/qt/sync-movies-to-ipad.htm
If already on your iPad, do what uselessSABOTAGE said.

Prevent iChat from yanking me out of one Space and into another

Using Spaces and working in a separate Space from where I have an open iChat window it's incredibly annoying that when I receive a chat message from someone iChat will immediately switch Spaces on me...even if I'm in the middle of typing or drawing in another space. Is there any way to turn this off?!? The red badge over iChat's icon is enough! I don't need to be yanked away from what I'm working on...
Thanks!

If you set iChat to Every Space it will show up no matter what space you're in, so it won't have to move you between spaces. The Chax plug-in lets you hide the buddy list automatically when iChat is in the background, so it won't get in your way (since it would always be there no matter what space).

"The reply" as in the Rescue email to reset your Security Questions? If so, then you will have to contact iTunes Support directly to get them reset:
