How can I retrieve a lost computer name, needed to log in. I know my Apple ID and password.
Lost computer name, or ID, needed to log in to locked MacBook Pro
If you are trying to log in using a password you can't remember, try booting off the installation DVD and under Utilities you should see an option to reset password.

How can I retrieve pictures, lost from my iphone during a backup?
How can I retrieve pictures, lost from my iphone during a backup?
The photos could have gone a couple of different places ...but it is unlikely that they are lost forever. It kind of depends how your Backup was done. With many Computer-based iTunes connections, your Computer Photo App will actually open first when you connect your iPhone and the photo transfer will happen between the iPhone and the App. Assuming that isn't what happened in your case, but you did Backup on iTunes, you could reconnect to iTunes and then click on your iPhone button on the Computer screen ...typically the iTunes Summary screen will show up ...but you can tab-through the various iTunes Screens and find the Photo page. You could check your options and see if you have a Manual Sync setting regarding iTunes to iPhoone ...this would mean you have to select the Photos you want to download to the iPhone during the Sync.

How can I see which computers (computer name) Creative Cloud is installed on?
How can I see which computers (computer name) Creative Cloud is installed on?
Hi Arno ten Hagen,
To check for activation you need to go to all the machines in which you have installed CC apps, launch any of the CC software, go to help and you will see the email address mentioned by which you are logged in to that machine.

How can i retrieve the lost bookmarks on my ipad ?
How can i retrieve the lost bookmarks from my ipad ?
See if this gets them back.
Quit Safari completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
Dear Sir or Madam, I have got my iPhone cleaned all paid apps after I have this PC signed up for more sync PCs. How can I retrieve my paid apps accounts or I do have to buy it once more and lose my info completely?
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; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. 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.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases. -
My iPhone was stolen in Asia and it's now in Germany. How do I get it back? All I have left is a serial number, apple ID and password, plus a police report. What do I do now? I really want my phone back. Can someone help me? Thank you, Bobi
No one here can help you, nor can Apple or any carrier. If you know the location, contact the local police where it is located.

In the new IOS 7, my IMessage and FaceTime won't let me log in using the correct Apple ID and password. How can I fix this?
Other users have reported same problem with 4G iPod/iOS 6.1.6 and I have not seen a solution. One user reported yesterday or the day before that it just started working again.

When trying to log in with my primary Apple ID and password, I am continuously asked for my pass word without being able to log in. How can I solve this issue, without creating a new Apple ID?

I saved some of my music to a Cloud I can't access. Now, they show up as "Purchased" in iTunes, and I'm not given the option of re-downloading OR repurchasing them.
Music purchased from the iTunes store is not stored in your personal iCloud account, and an iCloud account is not required to redownload them. You should be able to redownload them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519. If you are unable to, contact iTunes store support for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click ‘iTunes', and then 'iTunes Store', then 'Purchases, Billing & Redemption'. -
How can i activate my iphone 5 if we dont know the apple id and password
how can i activate my iphone if you dont know the apple id and password.
If you’re being asked for your own Apple ID, either use Apple’s iForgot service or contact their Account Security team.
If you’re being asked for someone else’s Apple ID, you need to contact the device’s original owner(if this is you, take the device and its purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store) or the person who set the lock.

I know my apple id and password but my new iphone 5 is asking for a voicemail password and I dont know what that is. Can I disable this?
The voicemail password is independent from Apple/your iPhone and is related to your service provider. If you already set a password for your voice mailbox, you would need to input it in order to access your voice messages associated with your cell-phone plan. If you forgot your voice-mail password or did not set one, I'd advise you to simply call your cell-service provider support which should quickly resolve the issue.

I cannot log into iCloud using my Apple username and password. I keep getting an error message that states "CANNOT SIGN UP - The Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account." How do I fix this?
You are getting this message because you are attempting to create an iCloud account on a PC. You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher. After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account on your PC.
