  • My old appleID use email with domain already deactivate. So I changed my appleID and primary email and now I can not access iCloud with iOS7. ICloud shows my old appleID but I can't change it. How do I get iCloud to work with my updated ID?

    My old email that using register for apple ID cannot access/check any mail because that domain already deactivate.

    Hi ccharat,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you did a good job editing your Apple ID and primary email address, but you didn’t sign out of iCloud on your iOS device before hand. What you may need to do in this situation is go back to the Apple ID website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the email address that is signed in with iCloud (there is no need to verify the account after editing it back to the old account, just changing it back is enough). Once your Apple ID is back to the original account, delete the iCloud account from the iOS device and be sure to keep all info on the device when prompted. After you delete the iCloud account, go back to the website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the new address. Once it is back to the account you would like, you can sign into the iCloud on the iOS device with that new account and merge all of the data when prompted. Please use the following article as a reference.
    iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5223
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    I hope this helps,

    How do I get iCloud to work with my mac that has snow lepard and is pre intel?

    And it kills me that a friend who has pc computers and just has an iphone and ipad can breeze through all this with no problem and he still has XP.  So Apple goes back and helps old OS for pc but not for it's own kind!!!
    Richard, I agree with you 1,000%. I wrote this in a forum a few weeks ago, when a user was complaining about Snow Leopard not supporting iCloud:
    Why is it that if I bought a Mac before July of this year, I must pay to upgrade my operating system in order to take advantage of iCloud? Meanwhile, a Windows Vista SP2 user, who bought a new computer in May 2009, already has everything they need on their computer to use iCloud.
    Why was it possible for Apple to write a free iCloud Control Panel that was compatible with existing versions of Windows, but Mac users must buy an entirely new operating system?
    If Apple gave Mac users the same amount of backwards compatibility that it gives to Windows users, people with OSX 10.5 (Leopard) would be able to use iCloud. That's something to think about the next time you go to purchase a new computer.
    (P.S. Something else to think about: If you bought a Mac before October 2007 (when OSX 10.5 was introduced), your computer won't run iTunes 10.5 unless you buy an upgrade. But a PC user, who purchased their computer as long ago as Sept. 2004(!), can run iTunes without an OS upgrade.)
    I got so angry thinking about this, that I ended up writing an angry note to Apple on their feedback page. After repeating what I just wrote here, I asked them to commit to providing at least the same level of support to Mac users that they do for PC users when it comes to their cross platform products (iPhone, iPad, iCloud, Apple TV, Safari, iTunes, etc.) And, really, is that so much to ask?
    I wish I knew how to start a petition requesting that Mac users get comparable treatment as PC users. But then again, shouldn't that go without saying?
    Please leave feedback about this revolting double standard on the Apple feedback page. They should be thinking long and hard about why their own customers are treated worse than the customers of their competition.

    How do you normally do ti when you switch computers?
    Does Windows not have a method of transferring everything from one computer to another?
    You can use your backup copy of your computer to copy everything.
    For the itunes portion, you can type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.
    Windows should have a way to copy all doc/pics/files/contacts/calendars/etc.

  • How can I get iCloud to work on my IMac?

    I have an IMac, iPhone and now a MacBook. I have iCloud working on my MacBook and iPhone. How can I get it to work on my iMac 27" Both computers have Lion for the OS. Blessings...

    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Paragraph Styles - how do i Know they are working on my site...So Business Catalyst (blog) can inherit them?

    I have created my site in Muse and have adding a business catalyst blog module.
    I have created my paragraph styles and added some code to the modulestylesheet.css.
    Why is the blog not reading the typekit fonts?
    How do I know muse is rendering the fonts properly?
    Any thoughts would be appreciated,
    Darren

    Hi Darren,
    I'm sorry you ran into trouble here. Currently, you can only use and preview the free and open-source Typekit fonts in Muse.
    If you're comfortable with a little HTML/CSS, the Muse Insider wrote a post on how to insert the Typekit embed code from the Muse interface:
    http://museinsider.com/how-to-add-typekit-fonts-to-your-muse-site.html
    Or you can add the embed code to the Page Properties dialog within Muse, which will include it in the <head> of the page when you export your website.
    However, we do see the value of being able to design in Muse with all the fonts in your Typekit library. This will require a deeper integration between Typekit & Muse. I'll give the team a nudge in this direction for you.
    Also, I would be happy to take a look at a live url from the site. I'll be able to tell of the Typekit fonts are working and if not, suggest a solution. Let me know if you have any further questions and thanks for your patience.
    Cheers,
    Benjamin

  • How do I get iCloud to work on iPad2?

    I type in icloud in the address and it keeps going to set up this iPad 2.   All settings for iCloud are set up per instructions.  Am I missing a step here?  Comes up on my MacBook  pro just fine.  Want to be able to use beta iWorks on this device. Thanks

    I have been using Safari on my iPad, and entered www.icloud.com but goes to the welcome and how to set up iCloud at the following:

  • I changed my appleID and primary email and now I can not access iCloud. ICloud shows my old appleID but I can't change it. How do I get iCloud to work with my updated ID?

    I Changed my ISP and therefore changed my email address, which caused me to change my appleID.  I had no problems making the changes to my appleID but now I am having problems with iCloud. My old ID is still showing as my iCloud ID and I can not see where or how to change this. I keep getting an annoying pop up box to enter the password for my OLD appleID as well as error messages that I can't back up to iCloud.
    CAn someone please tell me how I can fix this so my iCloud works.
    THank you!!!!!

    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    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")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • Video in..how do i know it's working

    I have finally got around to trying the video in feature on my GeForce 4 4200ti vtd 8x.  I have the latest nvidia wdm capture drivers installed properly, but every time I try to use winproducer to capture a composite video signal from my vcr I am given the message..."unable to start recording".
    This version of win producer came bundled with the card, and, as a result of other software "bundle problems", I decided to try a full retail version of the same program.
    Guess what......."unable to start recording".
    My question is this........how can I check the card itself to see if the video in even works?
    I have no problems in my device manager, and I usually know what I am doing(LOL).
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Mini SATA - How do I know it's working?

    Hello all,
    I received by brand new T430s about 48 hours ago.  On the initial startup, I had a mini SATA detection error.  Not a good first impression, but anyways, that issue was supposedly resolved after the customer support rep directed me to install some updates.
    How can I tell if the disk is working correctly?  I've been running the computer with the task manager open, and so far my "Disk 1" (SanDisk SSD U100 16GB) has shown zero activity, even when the C: drive and CPU are operating at near 100%.  Also, the stats in the bottom right show 0 MB formatted, can that be right?
    Thanks for your help!

  • How do I know it's working?

    Hello there,
    Trying to do a NetInstall. Basic info of what I can see at the moment:
    Server Admin- NetBoot has a gray circle next to it and says that NetBook Service is: Not available.
    NFS is Green Light, DHCP is Red. Nothing listed in Logs or Clients.
    The Machine being Net Installed- Startup - World Icon flashes - Apple logo with spining globe below it - turns to a spining wheel - Blue screen with the spining wheel.... has been like this for a 3+ hours.
    Other then this spinning wheel and I don't know what it means, I've no idea what's going on there is no feed back at all?
    Is it doing a net install?
    Thanks inadvance.

    Jeff is correct. The gray circle is your indication that it's not working... along with the Not Available text. There are various things that can cause this scenario. Searching this forum may of help. One thing that can cause this is if you've managed to get a bad index number in one of your NBImageInfo.plist files. For a single server scenario, valid indexes would be between 1 and 4095.

  • How do I get icloud to work on mac osx v10.6?

    My computer, MAC OSX v10.6.8 is not showing an icloud icon in Preferences.  It has a mobil me icon but when clicked it says it has been moved to icloud.  My ipad, iphone and Mac are not syncing.  Help!

    You need Core2Duo or better (i3/i5/i7) processor and 2 GB memory (but some would recommend 4 GB) ...
    Apple Menu > About This Mac  ... this is mine
    As to "should I be scared?" ...
    You sound like you mtch the first/major criteria ... you *need* it to synch with your mobile devices.  Others are just "following the crowd" and have little other reason.
    You should not be scared.  Tens (hundreds?) of thousands currently run Lion without issue.  And this forum helps with the issues you have.
    You really need to have a good "clone" of your system beofre you start in case the process goes badly (rarely does it, but you want to be able to recover and start again).  And there is a new set of "how to recover" in Lion becase it uses a "hidden partition" called "Recovery Partition" instead of disks ... but that is all just stuff to learn, not to be afraid of.
    First, check the hardware, then post back if you wish.
