HELP! I NEED HELP WITH MY PASSWORD

I RECENTLY PURCHASED MY IBOOK FROM AN INDUVIDUAL AND I CANT SET UP AN EMAIL ADDRESS OR ANYTHING ELSE BECAUSE IT SAYS THAT MY PASSWORD IN INCORRECT.THE USERNAME THAT POPS UP IS MY NAME.I NEED TO FIND OUT HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THIS.ANY HELP? THANKS!

First off, all caps is considered shouting. Bad idea.
As for your actual question -- a bit more information is required. Do you need to change the password for your user account? Your user account is what you login to when you turn on your computer. It might be setup so you don't have to enter your username and password when you boot up. It is set this way if you can turn it on, and when it's done starting, you see a desktop and dock and can use your programs. On the other hand, you might have to enter your username (either by typing or clicking on your icon) and then your password. After doing that you will be at the desktop.
If you can't get to the desktop be, it means you aren't typing the password correctly. Passwords are case sensitive -- perhaps you just need to turn caps-lock off -- e.g., "PASSWORD" is not the same as "password" and if your password is set to something like the latter, typing the former will always fail. If you don't know the password, you can reset it by booting from the system install discs (put in system disc, hold down "c" while turning on the computer, ignore the open popup regarding installation, from the menu, choose the option for resetting the password, choose the user you wish to reset, and then enter a new password).
On the other hand, if you get to your desktop and can use programs, the above is not your problem. Instead, you are having a problem loging into your mail account because you don't know your password. In that case, your only option is to contact the mail service provider and ask for your password. That issue has nothing to do with your operating system.

  • Please help - I need help working with a "curved" scanned image!

    Hello --
    I've been looking here for a while and finally got around to registering because I have a question. I'm sure I have this posted in the wrong place, so don't jump me for that - I'm just not sure WHERE I should post a question / plea for help.
    I have a shape (kind of a wavy 3/4" stripe) that I need to reproduce in photoshop. I was able to take the original and scan it into my computer. Upon scanning, though, the color it no longer solid but actually looks a quite a bit speckled, and the edges of this stripe tend to not be 'crisp" and it need to redfine the edges. I need to repaint the stripe, and it has to remain the same 3/4" diameter all through it's length.
    If anyone can suggest a way that I can take this scanned image and redefine the edges so I'll have a "new" crisp, solid colored stripe, that I can keep the same 3/4" width and then will be able to highlight it and repaint it would be appreciated. I tried highlighting the shape and applying a thick "stroke" around the edge but this just made it worse -- kind of like using a pen on a piece of paper on top of glass -- almost impossible to write or draw smooth! It's for a small model airplane decal, so the edge needs to be sharp and crisp.
    Thanks for any help in advance!
    --Henry

    ¨Hi Henry,
    I'd use the Pen tool and trace around the shape in order to create a Vector Path or a Vector Shape. But, you'd need to study the black art of Bezier curves first.

  • Help Disk Drive Locked With Encryption Password

    Hi,
    I reciently encryptyed my SSD on my Mac-Air and have now forgeten the password. Is there a way to fix it with out taking it to apple and getting a new drive?

    You can't do it in Disk Utility; you'll have to use the shell. It will be a lot easier if you have a bootable backup. That way you can copy and paste the shell commands, instead of having to type them.
    The basic idea is in this thread:
    Hard disk bricked after using file...: Apple Support Communities
    First, you determine the UUID of the logical volume group corresponding to the boot volume. Then you delete that logical volume group.
    Then you should be able to format the partition in Disk Utility, install OS X, and transfer your data from Time Machine in Setup Assistant.

  • Help! Need help with preflight package script

    I am trying to write a package with Iceberg to push Office 2004 to 250 Macs. I need a preflight script with a condition that will stop my script if /Applications/Microsoft Office 2004 exists OR if OFFICE 2004 exists. Don't know if searching on the folder name is the best or if there is better way
    If it doesn't exist I want it to continue with with placing Office 2004 in the /Applications folder.
    I don't know how to do conditions (If, then, end)
    PREFLIGHT SCRIPT
    IF /Applications/Microsoft Office 2004 folder exist = STOP
    IF /Applications/Microsoft Office 2004 folder doesn't exist continue with laying down files/folder in the package.
    LAYDOWN FILES
    LAY DOWN FILES IN ICEBERG FILE SECTION OF THE PACKAGE
    POSTFLIGHT SCRIPT
    #!/bin/sh
    #Change to root directory
    cd /
    # Move Microsoft Office X folder to Messages Received folder
    mv /Applications/Microsoft\ Office\ X /Messages\ Received

    ALL Mac OS X (10.4.6)
    ALL   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    A simple condition (not using iceberg) would be:
    #!/bin/sh
    if [ -e "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004.app" ]
    then
    echo "Microsoft Office 2004 exists, aborting installation"
    exit 1
    fi
    open -a "/Applications/Utilities/Installers/Office2004Installer"
    If Microsoft Office 2004 is installed then the script will exit with a message. If Microsoft Office 2004 is not there then the last line will be executed and the installer will open.

  • HELP ! Need help with the MyZenChecker. (Zen Vision:M isn't charging for first ti

    I bought a Zen Vision : M some days ago. It won't charge. I?have WinXP,Service Pack and WMP0. I got GOOD on everything on MyZenChecker. I use the USB at the back. I've also tried with a USB charger which I put into the wall, but that didn't work either. I tried fix2, but I didn't get everything on how to get it work.
    I download it. Double click the .bat file. It comes a black route. It's written that it was succesful. Then after that what should I do in details, please ?
    I tried to restart the computer right after getting successful on the .bat file with the Zen connected. Nothing happens after I turn it on again. No blue light or anything. The computer can't detect it. Am i supposed to connect the Zen after restart ? Should it come a blue light right after restart or should I let charge for 5+ hours without the blue light and then connect it again to get blue light.
    Please tell me what to do in details step by step. Thx
    Message Edited by perry_09 on 07-29-200706:56 AM

    you shd connect it and reboot your PC. the myzenusb.bat is to amend your open up your USB permission. no blue LED light flashing means its not charging. I suggest you exchange this with your retailer since you just bought it

  • HELP! Need help with converting text to shape.

    Each time I hit "Convert to shape" I get paths all over the text character. (See image below)
    Rather than a bounding box I can transform. (see below)
    It's almost as if the text is being converted to a work path even though I'm selecting "convert to shape". Not sure what's "off" or "wrong" but hopefully someone out there can point me in the right direction.
    Thanks!

    Really? Wow. No wonder.
    Ok, here's the thing. I'm watching a YouTube video on making bracket frames and the direction is to do what I've been attempting. Should have known better. Check out the video, link below, at about the 2min mark through 2:48ish. Can you let me know if this is accurate instruction?

  • The FAQ & help don't help. NEED help!

    I've got a csv file with 125 addresses.
    I'm trying to import them into my address book.
    I jump through all the hoops, fix the headings.
    Then, when I import 'em, they're all empty, all no name.
    Or else address book tries to plant them in existing adresses.
    I do fix the headings. I need to do a mailing. I need to bring in addresses of this group into Endicia. Please please help.

    I'm no longer desperate. Endicia will import the entire list with no problems. I'd still like to bring these addresses into Address book, tho.

  • PLEASE HELP I NEED HELP

    I logged in to my mid 2012 13" MacBookPro with Latest OSX Mavericks and my dock only appears if i click down on the bottom of my screen (I hide my dock so that it only comes up when I hover over where it would be) and when I do get the dock open if I hover over anything it doesnt give the name of it! After playing with this problem for a while I have concluded that wheneverer I hover over something it doesnt appear available the click on e.g. when I click on file on safari none of the options appear blue and available to click. This also makes it impossible to play video games becaues i have to hold down left click to move.
    PLEASE HELP ME!!

    Open the Terminal in your Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following lines separately:
    killall Dock
    killall Finder
    Press RETURN after each line. The Dock will automatically restart itself. See if that helps.
    If it doesn't help then do this:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • HELP!  Need help in restoring APEX application from database backup

    I accidentally deleted many pages from my development APEX environment when I thought I was deleting from QA.  By the time I discovered it, it was too late to do a flash back.  The DBQ I am working with is now trying to recover from a database backup, but we are not having much success.  Can someone point me to any documentation that may exist on exactly what to restore from what schemas?  It is not intuitively obvious what should be extracted and restored?  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    I have older exports, but I would loose 2 weeks of work by going back to them. I need to be able to restore from a database backup so I get back my changes. What we tried to restore didn't bring back the deleted pages so we must have done something wrong.

  • HELP!  Need help linking Nano to existing Nike+ account

    Hope someone can help as I'm going out of my mind. I searched but couldn't find another topic like this.
    I had to restore my nano (2nd gen) to its original factory settings in itunes, which erased all songs and data. My Nano is working great now, but it's no longer linked to my Nike Plus account. When I now connect the restored Nano, under the Nike + tab in itunes I cannot check the box to automatically send my workout data to Nike+. The only option is to register. I'm already registered but there isn't an option to link to an existing account?
    After the restore on my nano, how do I link it in itunes to my existing Nike+ account that has all my run data stored? Like I said, the only option on Itunes is to register and that's not what I want to do since I already am registered!
    I guess this would be the same problem if I bought a new Nano so I'm sure this question has been raised before.
    Please help! I need this fixed before my run tomorrow! Thanks folks!
    Scott

    GFF,
    Yes, I checked the link you provided below and couldn't find any topic with a similar problem. I already did my run for the day so won't know until tomorrow if the receiver and sensor gather info but everything appears like it will work just fine. When I plug the receiver in the Nike+ option pops up in the menu and it looks ready to go. It even recognizes the sensor so I think that's okay.
    I did email Nike Plus but they haven't answered yet.
    When I connect the Nano to itunes, I cannot check or uncheck the box to automatically send the info. The only option is to "create a Nike account." I clicked this and tried to just add my existing account and it wouldn't let me saying it already exists.
    There has to be a simple way to do this. Can't imagine you lose everything if you get a new Nano or have to restore one.
    Maybe more options will pop up after my run tomorrow morning when I plug in the Nano to itunes with a run to send to Nike+
    I'll let you know. Until then, any other suggestions would really be appreciated!

  • Charging Help! NEED HELP IMMEDIATELY!

    I really need some help. IMMEDIATELY, TOO. I am going on a trip tomorrow and am planning on bringing my new iPod nano with me. Of course, I realised that the nano does NOT come with an AC adapter, like my previous 20GB ipod did. And here the problem comes in.
    Question 1: Can I use my old 20gb charger and stick it into the nano? Or do I have to go and buy that 30-40$ Adapter meant for the nano at the store? If the answer to that is yes, it will probably make me raging mad- because I am going to be away for a week and I was looking forward to be in sync with my music.
    Question 2: Can anyone help me think of ways I can charge my nano when I go on a trip, if it can't be plugged in to the 20gb adapter and be charged? I really want to be able to listen & charge my music on my trip. I won't have a mac accessible, but there will be internet cafes, hopefully. So yes, I guess I do have minimal acccess to the internet.
    Thank you SO much in advance!
    I really need answers tonight or early tomorrow, thanks!

    If the 20gb adapter uses the usb to dock connector cable, then yes, it's the same cable and it will work. If it's firewire, I'm not sure. The nano doesn't support firewire, and definately won't transfer over it, but I've heard that it can charge over it. You can try it. Both the 20gb and the iPod use the same dock connector port
