You have to reset your security questins first
From a Kappy post
The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

I just found out I have a second Apple ID, how do I set up my new phone to this account and delete from the other?

Ok so all this time I have thought that I only had one Apple ID. The one my mom and I shared. Now I'm noticing that sometime ago I must have created my own Apple ID. I need to know how to first transfer all of my information from my back up of my old phone on my mom's Apple ID, to the other ID. Then how to bring all of that to my new phone. After that is done, I would like to delete all of my things from my mom's Apple ID to keep us all separate.
Can anyone walk me through this step-by-step?

Apps and media are forever tied to the AppleID used to download them.
You cannot transfer from downloads from one AppleID to another, nor
can you merge AppleIDs. If you wish to start using your own AppleID,
you will have to redownload all the items you wish - paying again under your
AppleIDfor anything requiring payment.
Logout of iTunes under your old ID and login using the new ID.

One of the security questions isn't what I set when I made my account

When I made this account I set two questions and I know the answers to those questions like it's my own name. This issue happened with me before I don't know how it worked last time but I had to speak to not one but TWO employes via email and it took ages they told me to call the support center in my country or close countries but living in the Middle East there is only one and reaching it is very much impossible.
So the issue is that one of the two security questions isn't what I set it when I created the account the wrong question is asking me "what was your first car?" But I never had a car! I need to find a new and fast way to fix this issue.
Please help me!

After the last time did you put a rescue email address on your account ? If you did then the steps half-way down this page will give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you didn't (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple again to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

I have an Ipad 2 and here is what I am trying to accomplish. On my laptop I connect to a remote desktop connection to access a shared program we use for reporting. How do I set up my Ipad to access this remote server? Thanks for the help.

Close ... before going for a specific Cisco app ... lets find out some details:
Host we need more details:
What is your server environment (Windows Server, or Mac OS X Server, or Linux)?
What security is implemented in your environment - as what is restricted (RDP for all or specifc credentials on all machines? Are you part of local admin group to the server you wish to connect)?
Does your environment Support CISCO IPSec connection? If so use Settings> VPN and IPSec tab to enter VPN details, if not then go with above suggestion. IF your restricted to RSA then either built in VPN settings or 3rd party app for RSA would suffice.
Finally, there are many RDP applications out there I use "Mocha RDP Light" (free minimal ads when launched not when connecting).

How do I set up my new Macbook Pro to associate with my Apple ID so I can download purchased music?
Under 'Manage Devices' it only lists my iPhone and iMac. I've bought stuff on my new Macbook Pro using my Apple ID, but I can't find music I previously purchased using the iMac.

Oh, wait, I've found it. Silly me!

You can neither merge or delete them. Pick one and stop using the other. If they both have purchases associated with them you will have to keep using both.

When I try to set up family sharing I get "This account is already shared by another family member. Family sharing works best if every family member uses their own account." how do I reset? I can't find where it is being used.

Hi jmeckoll1,
It sounds as if you are trying to set up family sharing starting with an Apple ID which someone has already used to start a family group. Presumably this person is within the family group you want to share with. One solution to this issue would be to ask to join this family group. See this article -
OS X Yosemite: Join a family
If this is not the desired result, you will need to set up your own family group using an unused Apple ID that is in use for iCloud. See this article -
OS X Yosemite: Set up Family Sharing
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

HT5622 I forgot my Apple ID password, as well as the security questions answers. Also, I currently can't use any of the rescue e-mails. Is there any other way I can reset my security answers or maybe reset the rescue e-mail?

I forgot my Apple ID password, as well as the security questions answers. Also, I currently can't use any of the rescue e-mails. Is there any other way I can reset my security answers or maybe reset the rescue e-mail? I called the Apple customer service and it was helpful, except I recieved an e-mail that expired 3 hours later, I can't call them again because I am overseas and it's really expensive to keep on calling international numbers! . Can anyone PLEASE help me?
I can't use any of my apple products properly such as my iphones because of iCloud and I can't purchase items on Apple TV!
Thank you.

I just bought a new ipad 2, but cannot use it as it only shows the itunes logo and a cable. This means it's telling me to connect to itunes. I've done this and performed sync, still no way out. I have been told by friends to "unlock" it. Please how?

Have you already activated the iPad? That is what the screen is telling you to do - connect to the computer with the supplied cable and run iTunes while connected - and iTunes should guide you through the set up process. If you have already set up the iPad and you are still getting thos screen message - restore your iPad. You must be running iTunes 10.5 on your computer as well.
Restore iPad
If you can't restore this way, you will need recovery mode.

I had been using iMessage all along with my friend who is using an iPhone 6. I choose to send a sms to him as I do not have any connection, after that there is no way I can send him an iMessage again. Can anyone advise how do I switch back?

I had been using iMessage all along with my friend who is using an iPhone 6. I choose to send a sms to him as I do not have any connection, after that there is no way I can send him an iMessage again. Can anyone advise how do I switch back? I had tried resetting the network setting, toggling off the sms but to no avail.
Thank you.

What do you mean you choose to send him an SMS because you don't have any connection. What kind of connection? Delete the thread with that individual that you sent via SMS, and as long as you have iMessage activated on your device and your friend has an active data connection, it should recognize that and send as an iMessage. Another scenario is to have the friend send you a message that you can respond to.

Hi - I created a form in Adobe Livecycle and have a button on it to send the form via email. It worked, but only for those with PC.

It worked fine on a mac using Mountain Lion and reader

LiveCycle = XFA forms.
afaik - These cannot be used in Apple OSs.
Be well...

Hi, I forgot my user password mac 10.9.4 I don't need it to log in but i need it to make changes, etc. It says a password hasn't been set for this account but it still asks for one when i click on the lock icon. can anyone help me? thx!

This is a little confusing since you say you have forgotten your password and then the system says you have not entered a password. Even with an Admin account you must have a password to install software.
If you are using Mac OS X 10.7 or above, you can change the admin password by restarting holding the Command and R keys, from the menu bar select Utilities, then Terminal. When the Terminal window opens, at the cursor type exactly:
resetpassword
and press Enter. When the Reset Password window opens, select the internal hard drive, and then the user account. Type a new password twice, leave the Hint blank, and then Save. Accept the next dialog that opens, and at the bottom of the Reset Password window agree to resetting the home directory permissions.
Quit the Reset Password window, go to the apple left side of the menu bar, Restart.
And you have a new password for your account.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
