How can I change my apple id on my MacBook Pro when I can't log on to my OLD apple ID ?

I purchased the MacBook Pro (13") in 2012 and apparently registered it to my apple id and then got locked out of that e-mail address so I cannot figure out the password to my old apple id, I have made a new apple id, and would like to register my computer (Which I purchased new at the apple store in Portland, OR) to my new apple id,  I cannot seem to find any way to log in to ask apple support how to do this....Can anybody help ?

  • How do I change the admin password on my MacBook pro

    I have forgotten my password and I don't want to wipe my hard drive how do I change the password?
    I have done the following:
    Rebooted selected a language, it then went right back to the installer but there was no change password as an option.
    Under disk utility it was not high lighted.

    First, make sure caps lock is not on.
    Another reason why your password might not be recognized is that the keyboard layout (input source) has been switched without your realizing it. At the login screen, you can cycle through the available layouts by pressing the key combination command-space or command-option-space. See this support article.
    You must back up all data before continuing, unless you've already done so. If you need to back up but can't log in, ask for instructions.
    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

  • How do I change the install language on a MacBook Pro

    Hi folks,
    I have purchased a 2nd hand MacBook Pro that was using Polish as its default language. I have changed it all back to English, including 'sudo languagesetup' in utilities, however I want to reintsall the OS and when I press Command > R on startup the setup is showing in Polish still.
    Can you please advise how I can change this English? I have researched extensively but still have not found answers beyond using the terminal in utilities which I have already tried,
    Thanks

    Then you will need the original system discs that came with the system when it was new or a replacement set of them. The Replacement set can be ordered from Apple for a small fee.
    That system should not been sold to you with Mt Lion, or Lion, installed on it. Those 2 version of OS X would be Tied to the original persons Apple ID that installed either of them. These versions of OS X, when purchased from the Mac App Store for older Mac computers, can not be transfered to someone else.
    I don't think an Apple store will be any help. You need to reinstall the original shipping version of OS X then upgrade and update it to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and then you can either log into the Mac App Store using your current Apple ID (Or create an Apple Id if you don't have one) and buy, download and install Mt Lion on that system.

  • How do I change a user id on a macbook pro?

    I originally used my user id and password when I set-up my girlfriend's new 13" MacBook Pro. How would I change that and set-up her own Apple ID
    and password?

    jje,
    if your Apple ID is currently associated with your girlfriend’s MacBook Pro, then you’ll need to do a clean reïnstallation of OS X on it to associate it with her Apple ID.

  • How do i change my imessage account on the MacBook Pro?

    i'm having major problems with my iphone, so i'm using my macbook pro
    and unfortunately my fiance is in another continent at the moment and can't help me lol
    but ihave no idea how to switch imessage accounts on the laptop

    You can either go to System Preferences, then select 'Internet Accounts' then you will see the accounts you have set up in the past.. and you then can notice when you select one that contains Mail, Contacts, Calendar Messages and or Notes >> Deselect Messages and its ready..
    or go to Messages App, from the top menu Select Preferences and then go to the tab that is labeled as Accounts and click on the account you wish to log out / sign out from, and click on where it says 'Sign Out'
    After you are good to go.

  • How can i log out of my old iCloud account when i don't remember the email address and ID password?

    Hello hblack123
    If you have a rescue email address setup, then you should be able to send an email to reset the password or the security questions. If that is not available, then you would need to contact iTunes Store support. Check out the article below for more information.

  • HT3563 How do I change a bluetooth profile on my macbook pro from headset to headphone (a2dp) audio only so it will not conflict in my multipoint stereo headset shared with my iphone.

    I have a LG HBS-700 bluetooth stereo headset and "in order to access Multi-Connection mode, at least one of the two devices you are trying to connect to the HBS-700 must be able to select a profile, OR one of the two devices must only support one profile (Either Headset/Hands-Free or A2DP/AVRCP). For example: Two handsets which support both the Headset/Hands-Free and A2DP/AVRCP profiles cannot be connected to the HBS-700 simultaneously. But, one handset supporting Headset/Hands-Free/A2DP/AVRCP and a Bluetooth Stereo Dongle supporting only A2DP/AVRCP is OK".

    Backup your computer. You may have to replace the HD.
    Try repairing  disk.

    I have purchased a new iPad and given my old one to my husband.  How do I change the Apple ID over to him.  We are having continuous confusion between the two iPads

    Hi Marg42,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    First, your husband can create his own Apple ID via the web, computer, or iPad, if he hasn't already:
    My Apple ID
    https://appleid.apple.com
    iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2731
    Next, he can sign out of the Apple services that are currently using your Apple ID on your old iPad, and sign in with his own.
    This article has instructions for doing so for specific Apple services:
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    Alternately, he can erase the device and set it up as new using the steps in this article:

  • How do I change my Apple ID on only one device?

    How do I change my Apple ID on only one device? I inherited my husband's iPhone 5. He cleared it but I set it up with same Apple ID so we could share same iTunes account. However, I realised that there are inconveniences such as not being able to Facetime each other. In addition, his iTunes account is UK-based and we'd like to also have a New Zealand iTunes account for various reasons.

    Go to settings/icloud and sign out. Then sign in by creating a new Apple ID. Do the same in Settings for Messages, FaceTime and iTunes & App Store. Next, link your Apple IDs using Family Sharing so you can still share music and apps. Family Sharing - Apple Support

    My wife and I each have an apple ID for our ipad. How do we change the apple ID on our ipad for Iclouds? Can't seem to do it.

    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")
