How to change the Apple ID on the mac Book Air

Hi,
I just changed my apple ID name.
However, I found some difficulties in applying the new ID in my devices.
The situation is like this:
1. I can not find how to change the apple ID on my air. When there are updates available, I was asked to enter my password.
However, the apple iD was the old one. I do not know how to change it.

Continued:
2. After changing the apple ID, I heard that all the softwares need to be re installed because they belong to the old ID.
Is that true and is there any ways to avoid this.
Thanks!

    how do i log off icloud on my mac book air? It's slowed the MBA to snail's pace. I have no reason to use icloud on MBA. I have an iphone that's functional & MBA's only a wordprocessor network'd to other machines & server. iclould serves NO FUNCTION on MBA. I have tried to remove it but have been unable to "log out".

    Icloud is a web based service.  If you are not actively using it, then it has no effect on your MBA.

  • Anyone having trouble with the new update for 2010 mac book air 10.8.2?

    Anyone having trouble with the new update for 2010 mac book air 10.8.2 ? My 2010 Macbook Air has crashed 15times since the 10.8.2 update. Have only once since owning it.

    Turned out the hardware was bad.  Apple exchanged it for a new Mac Air and the new trackpad works great.  Thank goodness it was a defect.  If the trackpads all worked like that I would have been bummed.

  • Downloaded Canon printer/scanner drivers for Canon PIXMA MP520 and MX860 on Mac Book laptop, and they worked.  However, when I downloaded the same two drivers on Mac Book Air, neither worked.

    I wasn't aware that VueScan charged a yearly license.
    You simply launch Image Capture and if the scanner is recognized it will be listed in the SHARED list in the left display column.  Select the scanner name and the app will start an overview scan.  You will also see a list of scanning options in the right display column (resolution, paper size, file output format, etc.
    The above description is when everything is working correctly, which has been the case for me.
    Good luck.

  • How do i get more memory on my mac book air? is says that i can add 2 more gig how?

    how do i get more memory on my mac book air? is says that i can add 2 more gig ??? or wat files can i delete

    Macbook Air memory is soldered to the logicboard.
    You can only get 4GB or 8GB (2012 Models) in the Air when you order it that way.  Otherwise, you're stuck with 2GB.
    Unless you're talking about hard drive space - then it is upgradeable - click HERE to see which one corresponds to your model.

    what is the necessity of the AC power cord (with the Mac book Air)? when should it be used?

    Gary, you wouldn't believe some of the questions people ask on this site.
    Why are both cords necessary?
    They are not.
    Other than the two reasons dominic23 sited are there any other reasons to use the AC power cord rather than the power adapter cord alone?
    No.

  • HT3382 What if I want to connect the minidisplay port of a mac book air with the minidisplay port of a monitor? Can I use a the thunderbolt cable to do this connections?

    Using mac book air (late 2010) minidisplay port and minidisplay port of monitor Monitor Dell UltraSharp de 23.8" Widescreen U2414H.
    Can I connect them using a thunderbolt cable or is there a specific cable I can use to stablish this connection?
    Thanks

    A Thunderbolt cable won't work.  Use a Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort, or Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort, cable.

  • How can I download microsoft package in my mac book air

    how can I download microsoft package in my mac book air

    Without office installer dvd: visit office.microsoft.com, go to Store, and then select Office Products. Download/purchase what you need.
    If you have the office installer dvd already, and another Mac with a dvd drive neearby, the other Mac (with DVD Sharing enabled) can host the dvd and you can access it from your macbook air using Remote Disc. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287?viewlocale=en_US
    You can also opt to buy a separate Apple USB Superdrive.

  • How do I get i photo on my mac book air

    I have a 2010 Mac Book Air 10.7.5 and I recently had to wipe the whole computer clean. When I got my computer back the iPhoto was missing. I can't find it on the hard drive, in applications, etc.  Does anyone know how I can get it back?

    Yes.
    If you purchased iPhoto from the Mac App Store, it will be available for you to download under "Purchases". Sign in using the Apple ID you used to purchase or "accept" iPhoto.
    If you did not purchase iMovie from the Mac App Store, restore it from Time Machine, assuming you use Time Machine. From the Time Machine icon, "Enter Time Machine" and look for it in Applications.

  • Getting an error when setting up Apple ID on new Mac book air

    I am setting up new Mac book air and getting an error at the sign up with Apple ID. Says couldn't sign in because of a server error. Try signing in again

    I got this error when setting up a new iMac. I now beleive the reason was that I had already restored accounts and files from a Time Machine backup, and it then connected me to the Apple ID during the login. It is a flaw in the setup process that it didn't check for that and skip the Apple ID step.

  • HT5621 How to change an Apple ID if the e-mail adress on that ID has been cancelled?

    I used to work for a company that did supply me with an IPhone 4S. I was send on pension, but kept my IPhone.
    Now it keeps on giving me a message to log in with my Apple ID, wich was the company's e-mail adress, allocated to me, and requesting the password that used to go with it, but the E-mail adress and its' password has been cancelled and it keeps on telling me that it was the wrong user name and password. How can I delete the old user name and create a new one?

    You cannot.
    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
    If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

  • How I change my apple id in the update menu in the app store?(ipad mini)

    If i want to Update my Apps in the AppStore the AppStore will ask for my Password ...  now the store ask for the Password of the Apple id from my Friend (Loged in for a while ) i cant change it. Please help me :)

    What account id shows at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your iPad ? If it's your friend's then tap on it and log out of it and then log in with your account - but any apps (and any other content) that were downloaded from friend's account will remain tied to their account, so only their account will be able to download updates to those apps.
