How do I reset my Icloud Information on my Macbook Pro.
I recently deleted my apple id for security purposes and would like to enter the new one. Every time I turn on my Macbook it logs me in as normal then has a popup screen that demands the password for the appleid that no longer exists? Help Me.
If you didn't ask Apple to delete the ID, it still exists (even if you chose to stop using it) and you should be able to provide the password for it. If you can't, contact the Apple account security team and ask for assistance resetting the password: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security.

Just go to SysPrefs>iCloud and Sign Out, but just make sure that you select to keep your Contacts, etc. on your Mac when given the option if you have been using iCloud for anything like Contacts, Calendar, etc.

How can I actually play iCloud/iTunes on my MacBook Pro?
I use a MacBook Pro with a 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, running Snow Leopard (10.6.8). I haven't updated to Lion because I'd have to re-purchase ProTools in order to do that, and ProTools was the whole reason I upgraded to a MacBook Pro to begin with.
A few days ago, I purchased a subscription to iTunes Match because I store all of purchased music on an external hard drive, and I got nervous when a friend's external drive failed. I also wanted a way to play purchased music on my laptop when I'm somewhere with wi-fi, but I don't have my external hard drive with me.
After a lot of stopping and starting, I finally uploaded or matched all of my music to the cloud. I feel good knowing it's safe (or as safe as it can be). But I don't understand how to play it on my computer without my external hard drive. When I double-click on a track without the external hard drive connected, I get the usual exclamation point and the offer to try to locate the original file.
I found a tutorial somewhere that suggested I go to www.icloud.com, but when I enter my Apple ID there, it tells me that I need to set up a device for iCloud, which I obviously have, otherwise where would all of that music have gone?
What am I supposed to do here? Did I just unwittingly purchase membership for a service I could only use if I was using either a Lion-operated laptop or an iPhone?I did find a workaround, but it wasn't precisely what you suggested. I didn't create a second user account, but I did create a second library. I saw that a few other people have reported this frustration, so I'll write out what I did.
1. Close iTunes
2. Click on the iTunes icon in your dock
3. Immediately hold down the "option" key
4. You'll be given an option to either choose or create a library in your music folder. Choose create.
5. Name the new library. I named mine "Magic Cloud Library," because I don't want to mistake it for one of the libraries that my computer automatically creates.
6. Next, turn on iMatch. You'll be asked to log in. Do that.
7. I think I was asked one more obvious question, but then my music library loaded, and I was able to stream from the cloud on the computer that was the original source of the music.
Now, when I want to listen to my music without the external hard drive connected, I just open iTunes, hold down "option," choose the "Magic Cloud Library," and I'm in business. I don't have to switch users or identities. -

How do I reset my Admin password on my MacBook Pro
I have lost my admin password and do not know how to reset/ recover it.
Have you read for possible solutions over in the "More Like This" thread over here?----------------------->
you are going to select another password, make sure it's one that you will NEVER forget AND no one else can figure out. Print it out & keep in a safe place. A place that ONLY you know about AND never forget. -
my old email address was hacked and I am no longer able to access it. How can i reset my icloud ID without losing all of my pictures and more importantly contacts? I have created a new ID but i cannot seem to use it until I delete the old account
You need to use the old ID and password to delete the iCloud account. After you delete the old account, you can sign in with the new ID in iCloud.
Have you seen this.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
iCloud
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device. -

How can I reset my iCloud account without deleting all my contacts and photos on my iPhone.
How can I reset my iCloud account without losing all my photos and contacts on my phone. I just want to clean up my iCloud.
Not sure what you mean by "reset" your iCloud account, but if you want to clean up other data, just delete it from the apps on your phone that are syncing with iCloud, or from icloud.com. They will be simultaneously deleted from iCloud and any devices syncing with iCloud.
Similarly, if you delete photos from your my photo stream album, they will be deleted from your photo steam and any devices connected to your photo stream. If you want to save them first, open the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos to select them, tap Edit, tap Save to Camera Roll. -

You are going to need to go to: FORGOT APPLE ID to retrieve your iCloud/Apple ID. Once you know your ID, you can log onto Apple - My Apple ID and click on Reset Password to answer the Security Questions you will need to answer. If you don't remember the answers, you will have to contact Apple Support to have them reset: ACCOUNT SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS
