How do I transfer AppleID from IT's to my own so I can download s/w updates?

My new iMac was set up by an IT guy 500 miles away. Whenever I click on the (constant) software updates, the window opens with his AppleID in the appropriate box but greyed out. I can't change it. I can put a password in it, but he hasn't/won't give(n) it to me. It seems like a simple fix, one way or another, but I've been hold with Apple tech support for close to an hour now....I have Maverick installed, and the machine wants to install Yosemite (should I wait on that?!), but I can't yet.

Niel,
Thanks for your response, but the problem is the software that originally shipped with the computer, i.e., the OS. Maverick updates, and now Yosemite waiting for a free download, require logon with AppleID (see attached).  The other s/w—Pages, Numbers, etc.—seem to update without going through the Mac App login process. I can't change the greyed-out ID to my own.

  • How do I transfer Apps from iPhone4 to iPhone5. They show as being downloaded on iTunes.

    How do I transfer all of my apps from my iPhone4 to iPhone5? I thought I had done that, but they are not showing on the new phone. When I go back into iTunes and look at my purchased items they all show downloaded. How can I get these on the new phone? Also, how do I transfer information from Notes, Calendar, etc., to the new phone?
    Thanks

    Perhaps if you can buy your applications again or if you use iCloud, if the cloud software use applications to transfer. Oh wait, they do!

  • How do i transfer photos from my iphone to icloud to free up space?

    How do I transfer photos from my iphone to the icloud so I can free up space?

    You can't use iCloud to store your photos in order to free up space on your phone.  The only photos in iCloud other than the ones stored in your backup are photo stream photos.   And when you use photo stream your photo stream photos will still be stored on your phone.  In other words, you can't post your photos in iCloud and view them from there without having them stored on your phone.  There are many other photo hosting services that provide this (such as Flikr, Smugmug, Picassa and others).

  • How do I transfer pics from my iphone 4 to desk computer?

    How do I transfer pics from iPhone 4 to desk computer?

    You can import pictures from your iOS device using iPhoto (if installed):
    Connect the device to your computer. iPhoto should automatically launch into its import window with your device's images and videos listed.
    Note: If iPhoto does not automatically open, you may wish to enable the behavior.
    Click Import All. If you want only some of your images imported, select the images and videos you would like to import into iPhoto, then click the Import Selected button.
    When the photos finish importing, you will be presented with a dialog asking whether you'd like to delete the original photos from your Camera Roll. Click Delete Photos.
    Note: Deleting photos after importing helps to reduce Camera Roll size, and it improves backup and restore times. You may choose Keep Photos if you wish to import the photos to additional computers.
    If you do not have iPhoto installed on your computer, you can import pictures from the device using Image Capture:
    Connect the iOS device to the computer.
    If Image Capture does not open automatically, you can navigate to your Applications folder and open Image Capture from there.
    Choose the location to which you'd like to import pictures.
    Click Options.
    Click the Options tab if it isn't already selected.
    Enable the option "Delete items from camera after downloading".
    Note: Deleting photos after importing helps to reduce Camera Roll size, and it improves backup and restore times. You may choose Keep Photos if you wish to import the photos to additional computers.
    Click OK.
    Click Download All.
    If you have Aperture, you can use it to import your photos. See the Aperture User Guide for more information.

  • How do i transfer data from one internal tabe to another.

    Hi All,
             How do i transfer data from one internal tabe to another.
             Can i do it ebven if he tables are different in structure.
    Please Advice.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Saket Tiwari,
    I hope the earlier post by kashyap is good enough an answer. anywas in addition to it let me give a detailed
    explanation of how you can populate an internal table.
    1) Append data line by line.
         Syntax :  APPEND [<wa> TO / INITIAL LINE TO] <itab>.
    this appends new line to internal table <itab>.
    2) Using COLLECT statement.
                 COLLECT is another form of statement used for populating the internal tables.  Generally COLLECT is used while inserting lines into an internal table with unique standard key. The syntax for COLLECT statement is as shown
         Syntax : COLLECT [<wa> INTO] <itab>.
    3) Using INSERT statement
         Syntax  INSERT [<wa> INTO / INITIAL LINE INTO] <itab> [index <idx>].
    INSERT statement adds a line/work area to the internal table. You can specify the position at which the new line is to be added by using the INDEX clause with the INSERT statement.
    Now coming to your request..
    To append part or all of an internal table
         Syntax
                  APPEND LINES OF <itab1> [FROM <n1>] [TO <n2>] TO <itab2>.
    *     Note:
    Without the FROM and TO options, this statement appends the entire table <itab1> to <itab2>.*
    b) To insert part or all of an internal table into another internal table
         Syntax
              INSERT LINES OF <itab1> [FROM <n1>] [TO <n2>]
              INTO <itab2> [INDEX <idx>].
    c) Using Move statement.
    To copy entire contents of one table into another in one execution
         Syntax MOVE  <itab1> To <itab2>.
                   OR
              <itab1> = <itab2>.
    but u hav to be careful because he contents of itab2 will eb overwritten on the execution of this statement.
    These copy the contents of ITAB1 to ITAB2. Incase of internal tables with header line we have to use [] inorder to distinguish from work area. So, to copy contents of internal tables with header line  the syntax becomes,
    ITAB1[] = ITAB2[].
    Coming to the letter part of your question, Yes, we can copy values between tables having different structures.
    for this we use    
                                MOVE-CORRESPONDING <itab1> TO <itab2>
        this executes the statement for their header lines. Searches for the sub-fields which occur both in itab1 and itab2 and then generates, for all relevant field pairs which correspond to the
            sub-fields ni , statements of the form MOVE itab1-ni TO itab2-ni. The other fields remain unchanged.
    I hope the information provided has been of your help.
    Reward if useful.
    Regards,
    Jose
