How can I access locked user account on iMac

Using Yosemite on Imac 2007 model but have been unable to unlock user accounts other than administrator to retrieve student work

Ask the user to login to their account so you can retrieve the info you want.

    How can I access my itunes account through my new computer

    Your account is just a user name and password.  Just sign into your account and use it as you like.
    Are you asking about your library (music and other content)?
    It will only be where you put it.  Have you copied it from your old computer to your new one?  If not, then do that.

  • How can I access my iCloud account on the web from my phone

    how can I access my iCloud account on the web from my phone
    iPhone 5 iOS 8.3
    I have iCloud turned on, location services on, find my phone works but when I try to access iCloud via Safari on the phone it takes me to a page Apple.com,
    iCloud then three options
    set up iCloud on my phone (i have)
    Install Find my phone, it is installed and it works from my MBP
    or install find my friends, I don't need that I have no friends.
    my calendars and contacts and bookmarks and all are all sync'd and working on the phone, but i thought if I typed in iCloud.com on the phone in Safari I would go to my iCloud web page that looks like this on my Mac.
    Is that NOT how iCloud should/would look on my phone via Safari?
    This is maybe a dumb question after 3+ year of iPhone'ing
    thank you for clarifying or helping me to understand

    I've been playing with a Galaxy here at work and here's what I've found so far - please feel free to jump in and suggest alternative methods to configure or access the various icloud components.
    So the original Q: Can you access your icloud account on Android?
    Not entirely: the website can't be used from an android browser (not properly - even with Dolphin HD and posing as different browsers it won't load correctly.  So Find my iphone is out, so is the address book or looking at your e-mail or calendar just in a browser window
    I was able to setup my e-mail using the IMAP settings published here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
    Be sure to setup the account manually - and note if you have trouble using SSL try TLS (that worked for me)
    Address book is a no go so you'll have to use iTunes to sync all your contacts over to Gmail - if you still have an iPad it means managing contacts in two places though .  Same goes for your calendar - transfer it to Gmail and forget about iCloud's calendar.  Nice instructions here: http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-20064060-285/how-to-switch-from-iphone-to-an droid/
    iWork is an Apple proprietary bit so don't expect much there.
    So in my case, if I'm really going to make the switch to a Galaxy from my iPhone it really means I'm going to have to switch to using google as the backend.  The timing to swap over to a galaxy/android phone is not the greatest - given that I'd have to give up my Apple addiction (syncing photos and itunes and losing access to my device tracking).  Plus I still have an iPad and a mac and like living in the Apple ecosystem.  I think I'll wait and see what the new iPhone looks like before I commit

  • Hi there I lost my password for my original iTunes account I can't recover it because the email address it is registered under is not longer valid How can I access my old account?

    Hi there.
    I did a factory restore and then restored it with iCloud back-up. I have been using lots of Apple products and i have used three different email adresses. Almost all apps restored perfectly but everytime i try to play a song in the Music app, i asks me for a Apple-ID i had no idea i have used.
    Hence:
    I lost my password for my original iTunes account
    I can't recover it because the email address it is registered under is not longer valid
    How can I access my old account?
    Can't find a place to change the email address to my new one without the password which I no longer remember.
    There is no way to just erase Apple-ID's on my device either.
    What to do? Should i ju give up and start from scratch and delete 2 years of stuf?
    Cheers!

    If you can remember the answers to the security questions when you set up that account - I think that you can reset the password without needing email authentication. You can try it here. Read it and see if it's possible. But if you can't remember the answers to the questions it will not work.

  • How can I access my iCloud account from my computer, when I'm running OSX Leopard?

    I have a Mac Book running Leopard and I don't have the iCloud icon in my settings.. How can I access my iCloud account/back up my computer to the cloud?

    Your signature says you have 10.6.8 which is Snow Leopard, but that is still not compatible with iCloud. You cannot back up your computer to iCloud in any case - it doesn't provide for that, only for iOS backups.
    The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
    If you have already set up an iCloud account on another Mac or device you can make limited use of it with Snow Leopard - details here.
    To make full use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion, provided it meets the requirements.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion are:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
    and the supported models are:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
    You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    (If in fact you are running Leopard and it is an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further.)

  • How can I access my itunes account, old computer crashed?

    My computer has crashed and have recently purchased a new one, all my movies, books, music was on the account on this computer, how can I access it again?
    I have all my downloads, movies, books, music, so how can I acces that itunes account if my computer has crashed and now have a new computer?

    The easiest way to get back missing items?  Restore your whole hard drive with all your irreplaceable things like photos in about 20 minutes from the backup clone you make on a regular basis.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; only apps, books (not audiobooks), music, and t.v. shows (not movies).  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
    I am a bit confused by your use of the word "account".  You may have an "account" on the iTunes Store.  What you have on a computer is your user account, part of which is the iTunes folder which usually houses a collection of files that make up what you see when you open the iTunes application.  When you open iTunes it does not normally open an account to your files, it just opens the ones on your computer. If your old computer died and you can not longer use the hard drive (which is not necessarily true but we would have to know more about the situation in detail) then not only your media but your playlists, ratings, etc. are also gone (unless you have a backup).  As indicated above, iTunes Store will let you download some things again, if they are still there and you are running iTunes 10.3 or greater.  Things like movies are gone unless you have a backup copy elsewhere.  The iTunes store does not contain playlists, etc, nor your ratings since all you are doing is downloading brand new copies again.

  • How can I access the user library of the other users on my iMac?

    I am in the process of changing the HDD on my iMac (Seagate 1 TB - free of charge exchange from Apple). As I have had some problems with my kids' user accounts I want to set it all up as new when I get it back.
    Challenge is ofcourse that they have played some games and they want to keep their levels etc, and this is stored in their users' Library. How can I access this from my own account or from a back-up? I have both a Time Machine back-up and a CarbonCopyCloner.

  • How can I access my iTunes account from my iPhone.

    1- I can't access my iTunes account from my iPhone.
    Do I have to sync them or can I download the songs I bought without connecting with my macbook?
    Last time i connected the two, all my music got deleted. Must have done something wrong, but have no idea how to prevent that from happening again.
    2- My "preferences" panel in iTunes, only shows apps and books, not music- Why?
    3- I can't save any music on iClod.

    hello. 
    i followed your link on how to delete content from all things Apple, and nothing removes books, movies, music... it just gives said device(s) the iCloud/download icon on top of the book, movie...  not sure what the 'hide' purchase actually does - after X'ing/hide, everything STILL appears across all devices using that account.  could you clarify this any further?
    if i am understanding iTunes correctly, then EVERYTHING we download (free or purchased) will be FOREVER accessible with zero way for us to control what is filling up this mysterious vault called the cloud?  (creepy- apple is keeping EVERYTHING, what happens when the cloud gets full?)
    since we have iCloud.com and it shows our "stuff" that we iCloud sync from our devices such as notes, contacts, calendar... then why doesn't apple provide an iCloud.com tab that shows ALL of our purchases so we as CONSUMERS control/delete what is in our account? 
    we download ALOT of apps to try and then delete them off our devices.  that works fine, but movies and books are always there.  maybe a glitch?

  • HT4847 How can I access my ICloud account to clean it up

    How can I enter my Icloud account ?

    On a computer browser, log into icloud.com using your ID and password.  Or perhaps you mean that you want to enter an ID on your device to access icloud.  If so, go to Settings>icloud and log in.

  • How can I access 2different email accounts?

    How can I access 2 different email accounts. I thought when I selected mail it would give me list of email accounts. Am I doing something wrong? Please help...

    Have you set up both accounts in the Mail settings? If so, then you should be getting mail from both accounts.
    I'm not sure what you're expecting to see by a "list". As of iOS 4.x on the iPad, all mail appears in a single Inbox, so you won't see two different accounts as such, if that's what you were expecting.
    If that doesn't answer your question, please post back with more details as to the problem you're experiencing.
    Regards.

    Your account information is available on www.verizonwireless.com.  This is where you would go to manage your Verizon account information like adding or removing devices from your plan.
    Your local router admin page is available via 192.168.1.1.  This is where you got to make Jetpack configuration changes such as the wireless password, changing a wireless channel or changing an IP address.

  • HT2518 I've migrated from PC to IMAC, but it has created new users. I can't access these user accounts even though I've set up passwords for them as administrator. Can you assist?

    I have transferred files from PC to IMac using Migration assistant. This has automatically set-up new users on the IMac and I can't access these. As administrator, I have set-up passwords for these new users, but when i try to acces these new users usung those passwords, the screen shakes as if the passwords are incorrect. Any suggestions?

    I can see these in my user groups, and I can change the passwords on both as often as I like. But when I then try to logon, the screen just shakes and nothing happens.
    I don't do Windoze, so haven't been able to test migrating from a PC.
    There have been a few similar posts here.   Are you trying to log on to the new user account(s) via Fast User Switching?  If so, apparently that doesn't work.   You need to turn that off (via System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options. Remove the check from the Show fast user switching .... box.
    Then log out of all accounts, restart, select the new account from the login screen and you should be prompted to set the password.
    I'm not sure a screenshot will help (and to be honest I'm not sure how to do screenshots on the IMac - I've been a PC man for over a decade!).
    In most places, Shift+Cmd+3 will print the entire screen; Shift+Cmd+4 will produce a "target" you can drag over a portion of the screen.
    EDIT:  by "most places" I mean after you're logged-on, and OSX knows your preferences about how & where to put the screenshot.  So it won't work on the login screen itself.

  • How can I access my Itunes account from my ipad if it was set up on an old PC I no longer have?

    Several years ago I signed up for an itunes account with my Dell laptop. That laptop no longer works and I have an ipad now that I use for most things. I want to access my old account I set up originally with my PC on my ipad but am not sure how to do it? I can not use the PC to "turn on" the ipad with this account. Is there a way to do this or do I have to set up another account? How do I access the apps etc. that are already on my original account?
    Thanks

    You should be able to log into the account via Settings > Store (if an account is currently logged in then you can tap on it to log out of it), and the content that you bought/downloaded with it which is still in the store, and which is possible to re-download (music, films and tv shows can't be re-downloaded in all countries) should show in the Purchased tabs in the App Store and iTunes store apps. Re-downloading an account's past purchases may tie the iPad to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
    All content from iTunes is tied to the account that originally downloaded it, so creating a new account won't allow you to access a previous account's downloads.
