Help Please, forgot my new   admin password..  so im stuck at password prompts.. any ideas to retireve it or make a new one?

I went to turn off file vault andafter much prompting i had to change my password to login. After trying to use the new password i made it turns out it isnt correct...
i know i did something wrong in the process..any ideas?

Hi R%%^Y,
Since you changed your admin password via the Install disc, your keychain passwod is stil set to the old one. You need to make the keychain password the same as your login password.
First, try opening Keychain First Aid by opening Keychain Access and going to Keychain Access (right next to the Apple menu) and coming down to Keychain First Aid.
Click Verify and see what happends. If it comes up with issues, hit the repair button.
if for some reason, you can't repair it, take a look at keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password.
Hope this helps and let me know how it goes.

    If you want.
    or maybe install Snow Leopard using the disc it came on with my Mac and just set it up from a Time Machine Backup on my external hard drive (since it works under SL)?
    Did you install Lion on an empty partition, or did you upgrade Snow Leopard?  If you upgraded, I'd not recommend erasing it, since your backups are apparently gone.  It's doubtful Snow Leopard will recognize them. 
    It's not just backups on the drive either, there are other important things on there, so why won't they show?
    Mixing Time Machine backups and other data is not a good idea.  See #3 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  It sounds like the whole disk is corrupted.
    I just really don't understand how this happened. Could it not be an issue with WD because they haven't issued firmware to support Lion yet?
    If this is a simple external HD, connected by USB or FireWire, no, unless you installed some of WD's software on it.  That shouldn't prevent it from being seen at all, but anything's possible.

    You can transfer the games but you will lose your game progress. now if you've played through game center you might keep something, but I'm not sure, I turn that off. But when I transferred my angry birds from my touch to my ipad i had to replay the levels over

  • HT1937 My brother has just updated his iPhone, it's now not accepting either his password or apple id to update apps, any ideas how to fix this?

    My brother has just updated his iPhone, it's now not accepting either his password or apple id to update apps, any ideas how to fix it?

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable. (is this what you meant by charger?)
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Iphone 3gs freezing/screen flashing between password screen and turning off timer. Any ideas what to do please?

    can you help please? Phone having funny fit, screen flashing between password screen and turning off timer. Then screens merging.. Yuk!

    Hey kathlovesparis,
    First, I would reset the device:
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    via: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    And if that doesn't resolve the issue then I would backup the device to iTunes and restore it. Just be cautious and back up first, since restoring deletes all content and settings:

    Take care,

  • Itunes says that I have five computers authorized, but I have only done this for one computer.  I want to authorize a new computer but it won't let me. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

    I have one computer authorized to connect with my ipad and ipod.  I would like to authorize my husband's computer to enable home sharing, but keep getting the error that I have five computers authorized.  Not sure how this is possible.  I'm tempted to try to deauthorize all computers and start over, but fear that this may create new problems.  Any ideas on where the issue is?
    thanks -
    Deb

    Hi Deb,
    Deauthorizing all is definitely the way to go.  You will just need to authorize your computer again after, as well as your husband's.
    Here's some additional information on deauthorizing all:

  • New iMac and Aperture not loading .CR2 files? Any ideas?

    Hi, I have recently upgraded from a 2009 MBP (running 10.6) to a 27" iMac. What I am finding is that after migrating my applications Aperture will not load/show my CR2 files. It says they are an unsupported format. Any ideas for a solution? These files are stored on an external drive and open fine in photoshop CS5... I have tried installing Camera Raw 6.4.1 updater... PLEASE HELP! Thanks

    Reinstalling Aperture may work but as the RAW conversion is external to Aperture (all Apple programs that can work with RAW filles use the same conversion process) I'm not sure it's going to help.
    If re-installing Aperture doesn;t fix the problem have a look in /System/Library/CoreServices for two bundles:
    CoreTypes.bundle
    RawCamera.bundle
    Highlight each in turn and do a Get Info. The CoresTypes.bundle showuld be version 301.21 and the RawCamera..bumdle should be 3.9
    If you still have the problem post back.
    good luck

  • I keep getting emails saying my password has been changed , everytime i go reset it with stronger passwords, but it keeps happening, anyone got any ideas?

    Hi all, I keep getting emails saying my password has changed, I have now reset my password 4 times in the last 2 weeks with stronger and stronger passwords and have also changed my security questions, anyone got any ideas how to resolve this problem?

    No.   I am a volunteer, not always on good terms with Apple either.   I'm sorry I don't seem to have helped but what I told you is what I would tell anyone in your situation.
    I hope Thomas r won't mind me pasting one of his replies, but the thread is so long it could be daunting.   Thomas knows about these things.
    ******  Courtesy to Thomas r.
    As has already been pointed out earlier in this topic, the issue is either a repeated phishing attempt (in which someone sends you a faked e-mail, directing you to a faked site, which tries to get you to "log in" so that the hackers can get your ID and password) or someone is repeatedly trying to get access to your account. I'm guessing the latter is more likely... someone's repeatedly trying to reset your password, for who knows what reason, and they're trying repeatedly because they're never getting the password reset e-mail. (Why they would expect to receive that e-mail I don't know... people are stupid.)
    Make sure your Apple ID has a good, secure password. (There is no need to reset your own password to do this, just go toappleid.apple.com and change it.) I'd also advise turning on two-factor authentication to further protect your Apple ID:
    Apple introduces two-factor authentication
    This will prevent password reset attempts, as it will not be possible to even start the password reset process without having access to the device used to receive the code used as the second identification factor.
    Hope this helps.

  • I have had my ipod 4th generation for a year now and had not had any problems until now. My ipod no longer connects to my WiFi. i have reset my network settings, forgot my network and followed all of Apple's advice. Any ideas?

    The WiFi isn't working on my 4th generation anymore. I have several devices connected to the WiFi which two of them are iPhone 5 that haven't had ant problems with WiFi. I have had my iPod for a year. I have tried everything and it still doesn't work. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • HT1695 New iPhone 5 -only able to get wifi when sitting next to router. My old 3GS with iOS 5.1 works fine all over house.  Any ideas on how I can get my new iPhone 5 to work as well as old 3GS?

    I just got my new iPhone 5 yesterday.   I'm having difficulty maintaining a wifi connection. I can get reception when I'm sitting next to router but I get a short distance away and I get the message 'unable to connect to network'.   My old iPhone 3GS works fine at same places where new iPhone 5 won't connect.  I still am using ios 5.1  on 3GS.  I've turned off my old phone to make sure it isn't causing some type of interference and also switched off the cellular network to try to force it into wifi mode but without any success. I don't think it's my router since my old 3GS is working fine. Anybody have any further thoughts?  Thanks

    There are some low-profile slots though 1 of them are occupied by the firewire card: 1 low-profile PCI, 2 low-profile PCI Express x16, 1 low-profile PCI Express x1
    We actually purchased 13 of these computers for video editing, so I really hope it is possible to fix this without buying 13 low-profile graphics adapters. What gets to me is the fact that it does work when I disable the driver. (!) Shold therefore be doable to make a driver/update that works :-(
    Any ideas? Or, in worst case, anyone know about a low-profile graphics card that works?
    Thanks,

  • Need help getting Adobe OnLocation CS3 to work with windows 7 64 bit. Any ideas?

    Need help getting Adobe OnLocation CS3 to work with windows 7 64 bit.  The program installed ok and the S/N took.
    The program does record video and audio HDV M2T.
    The problem is video doesn't display or play back on the monitor component @ 16:9 or 720 p.  4:3....
    The scopes respond as do the audio components when recording. (with a blank monitor component).
    The video does play back on my system no problem.
