How do I add an iCloud account to my "Messages" if the only options it gives me when I click "Add Account" is Google, Yahoo, and AOL?
I want to add another I cloud account to my Messages, But when I Click add account, the only options it gives me is Gmail, Yahoo, and AOL. But I have an iCloud.com email. What do I do in this case ?
Hi rarellano1,
In order to have an iCloud account available for the Messages application it must first be set up in System Preferences > Internet Accounts. If this is a second (or later) iCloud account, it will not have Messages available. See this article for details -

How do i add a rescue email address to an already existing apple id? The only option it gives me, under the manage my apple id category, is an alternate email. I am trying to make my alternate email address my rescue email address. I am new to this community thing.
Note that the rescue email address is not on the "Name, ID and Email Address" page -- you need to click on "Password and Security" on the left side. Even after you do that, it may or may not be available. As noted in the following it is only available if you have 3 security questions and are not using 2-step verification: Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses

I recently updated my IOS using the beta found on an iTunes account link... Ever since then I've been unable to log into my iMessages and FaceTime account through my iTunes. The only explanation it gives me is that my connection was lost.... What to do?
It was downloaded through my iTunes account... So im sure it wasn't pirated. It's nothing more than a beta test to work out the bugs. But do u have any suggestions as to how i can about redownloading the same iOS but now the 'bugs' should be all worked out....

After upgrading to IOS 7, the only options Gmail gives using Safari or Mail app to attach a file are attaching a camera roll file or drawing a scribble. How can I attach a document such as a PDF or word file? I used to be able to do so using IOS 6.

how can I get all options under edit in iPhoto on my phone to appear it has revert in red on theleft side & done on the right side, the only choice it gives me is select multiple
The usual cause of that issue is a corrupted or missing font that Firefox replaces by another, in this case a bold, font.
As a test you can try to disable the default font and choose a few different fonts (Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Times New Roman) to see if you can identify the culprit.<br />
you will have to reinstall that corrupted font. -
I am attempting to access KiwiBank online banking using Firefox (my preferred browser). It allows me to enter my account access number and password but when I click through to the next window which is a secure password window, Firefox flashes at the top pf the page asking me to allow the cookies, I click allow however the KiwiBank window then goes to another window stating my session has timed out - after 3 attempts the bank locks me out 9which is a tad frustrating :o0

http://www.kiwibank.co.nz# Yes, if you go to accounts.firefox.org, sign out, you will now be signed out.
# Sign back in, and you will be asked to save the password you entered.
# This will save the password and autocomplete if you have this option turned on.
I am not exactly sure why the menu did not detect the password change or if it was stored incorrectly after you changed it? But after storing the correct password you can manage any duplicate passwords in the password manager.[[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]] -

I am trying to change my cookie setting in the privacy tab. i change the drop down box to custom settings and hit [okay]. But when i go back 'onto the options it has re-set the setting back to how it was before i changed it. The websites i am trying to access will still not let me because of cookies not being enabled. Any help on getting these setting to change, and stay changed would be much appreciated.

When I select iPhoto to open the application, a message comes up saying, "iPhoto is unable to open this library," and the only option available is to quit. I don't know what library iPhoto is attempting to open, but all I want to do is just start iPhoto over from scratch.
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' to find out what Library is in question. Use the 'Create Library' option to make a new one.
To try and repair the damaged one:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I don't remember my old Apple ID and I closed my email account that I was using for my old Apple ID. Now, how can I change my icloud id on my Ipad. The old icloud id is still on my Ipad.
ChrisJ4203,
Thank you for the help. Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID. I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone. In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one. My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID. Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.

I deleted my old email address and added a new one, after my iPhone died iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password of my old email address. I can't remember my password and the account is still gone, it pops up every few seconds. How can I fix this?
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do. -

Frustrating that either my mac can communicate with iCloud alone or my iphone , But the information on my calendar is not merging! My password on my yahoo account is according to icloud wrong , but it isn't ! Only pages and other apps could be passed to the i phone . The local store says I should pay for them solving the problem . I doubt they will listen to all the aspects before I search again and again (and pay again and again??) Allready been there many times, downloaded many things!!
She was as frustrated as I and was going to kick the problem "upstairs." She felt that by now iCloud had been out long enough for them to have resolved the issues without having to resort to fixes from the outside (so in essence, I would have to say that she agrees with you that they should be able to provide a resolution for their own software).
I have more than just that issue on my MBP (iPhoto keeps asking me to "upgrade" everytime I open it, old Safari windows open when I restart or turn the machine on from a shutdown....I think it's possessed. I'm able to do everything that I want to do, but it's very annoying....) and so I'll be working with her again when she returns to work on Monday. I do have to say that she doesn't rush and has spent at a minimum 2 hours each night for the last 2 nights with me over the phone (talk about califlower ear!)
She had me do a reinstall of Lion last night and as far as I can tell, it fixed nothing.... -
The only contacts I now have are from my Exchange account. Any help please. I tried "Import from SIM" but as all my contacts were on MobileMe, they're all gone!!
that happens for people who used icloud for everything but contacts. When they updated and went through initial
set up, signing into cloud enabled everything including cloud for contacts. Since they had zero contacts in cloud, cloud cleaned out their contacts, but synced everything else that icloud has, like calendars, reminders etc. If those contacts were never backed up anywhere - they gone. If there is back up in cloud, it needs to be restored.
Contacts sync in the cloud need to be turned off, right after restore. -
