  • How do I get into my iPhoto app on my Mac.  It says it's locked and when I put in my apple password it tells me it is not valid and locks me out.

    How do I get into my if app?  It says it's locked and when I put i my apple password it tells me it is to valid and locks me out.  I tell it to repair it and it still doesn't work.  I never changed it and I assume it should be the same as my apple password.  Can some one please help me?

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    what is the exact message? A screenshot of the message window would suffice.
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • I have an ipod that i share with my daughter she put in a password and has forgotten what and is currently locked out of the ipod.  How do we bipass this to create a new one or delete it all together without losing anything currently installed?

    I have an ipod that i share with my daughter she put in a password and now cannot remember it an is locked out.  How can we delete the currently existing useless password and not lose any of the information on the ipod?

    If you cannot remember the passcode for the Screen Lock, you will need to Restore the device...
    1)  Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore...

  • HT2518 How do you reset the password on a migrated user account? Mac wants the old password putting in before we can set a new password and the old password won't work.  How do we get around this?

    Used Migraton Assist to transfer data from old Dell PC onto new Macbook Pro.  Data has come across but cannota access the User Account from the Dell.  It is displayed on the desktop of the Mac but is requesting and new password.  Before we can reset the password we have to put in the old password.  We have put in the old password but it doesn't work and therefore we can't reset the password and get into the User Account. 
    How do we get around this problem so that we can access the User Account.
    Although the data has transferred we cannot see our contacts transferred from Outlook into Mail.  We are wondering if they are contained within our User Account, but can't find out until we can access the it?
    Help wold be much appreciated.

    Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTunes.  If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode or yu do not have the syncing computer, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode see:

  • I put my ipod on lock mode from "find my iphone" but I fogot the password I used. How to I get out of it?

    So I lost my ipod 5 and then I turned on lock mode using Find my iphone. But then I found my ipod and being stupid, I forgot the password. I looked up what
    I'm suppose to do and it said I had to go onto icloud and delete the device from icloud. I did that but it said, my ipod wont restart until I connect to the internet.  When I connect to itunes, it says i need to go onto icloud and turn of find my iphone, or in this case ipod. I already did that though.
    I also cant connect to the wifi. It wont let me turn it on. I think when it went into lock mode, it turned of the wifi. I cant reset my ipod unless its connected to the internet. I have no idea what to do. Help, please.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • HT201240 A spiteful ex has got on to my mac and put a password on so I cant get in to the computer. How do I sort this problem out?

    Do you have your CDs that came with your Mac, an upgrade CD, or USB thumb drive (10.7/10.8)?  You can reboot the computer while holding down Option, select the restore disc (CD or Thumb drive).  Let the computer boot.  Go to Utilities>Password Reset, and you can reset your password without loosing any data (to my knowledge).

  • How can I lock my mac without putting it to sleep or logout?

    Hi,
    I want to be able to keep my mac running, but when I live my home I rather want it to be locked. But the only choices I have is to logout, put it to sleep or minimum waiting for 3min for the screensaver to start.
    I've searched for widgets and through the OS it self and haven't found anything.
    Any one who know a little hack that you can do this?

    I am not at my Mac right now, so I cannot verify the correct settings, but here goes:
    You can do this through the Keychain Access utility. Go into Applications -> Utilities -> Keychain Access, and then click on "View" on the menu bar (Authenticate as administrator if the screen is grayed out by clicking the padlock in the lower left corner). Click on "Show Status in Menu Bar" and save your settings. Click the padlock again to disable changes. Now a black lock icon should show up in the upper right hand corner on the menu bar. Click it and your choice will be something to the effect of locking the keychain, and locking the screen.
    You can also use the fast user switching menu that was mentioned in another reply, but if you do and you just click on "Login Window" in the drop down users menu, and you have your users show up as a list of names with pictures, it is more insecure because it showes exactly who is logged in, and their name is already spelled. This is the same problem with the Keychain method and the screen saver -- the name of the user is already filled in. To prevent would-be thieves from accessing you mac through Fast User Switching, change the login box to display name and password fields instead. This method doesn't allow someone to see the logged in user, but it is inconvenient until you get used to it. Hope this helps.

  • Hello, the ipad 2, CREA locked i put a password and do not remember. . How do I restore and unlock?

    Hello, the ipad 2, CREA locked i put a password and do not remember. . How do I restore and unlock?

    If you've forgotten the passcode to unlock the iPad then you will need to connect it to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If you do it via a different computer then :
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

  • Installing microsoft office for mac and getting prompt for installer password.  i have put in apple id password and admin password and not working, i have also reset my admin password 3 times and it is still not working? how do i get past this?

    installing microsoft office for mac and getting prompt for installer password.  i have put in apple id password and admin password and not working, i have also reset my admin password 3 times and it is still not working? how do i get past this?

    You don't use your Apple ID or its password to install anything on your Mac. You use the admin account's name and password.
    Use the name and password you last entered when resetting them. The "name" you use is not the short name of the admin account folder.
    For example. If you create an admin account of John Smith, the short name given to that account's folder will be johnsmith. So when an app requests an admin name and password to install something, the admin name you enter is John Smith, not johnsmith.

  • My daughter put a password on her ipad and now the ipad is locked and disabled. how do i unlock it or reset the ipad?

    My daughter put a password on her Ipad2 and forgot her password. She entered the password wrong 10 times and now her Ipad says that it's locked and disabled. How can I reset or unlock her IPad2?
    thank you

    You cant reset the password. You will have to restore the device within iTunes and you will want to use the same computer that you sync with if you want to restore all of the app data and app settings.
    This article will explain how to restore the iPad.

    Howver, you will probably need recovery mode in order to bypass the passcode. You can read about it here.

  • HT201304 i cant remember my password i put on for my restriction setting. how many times cani try before i get locked out, and what domi do ifi can't remember it?

    i cannot remeber my password i put on when i restricted my account ..( caution for 10 yr old daughter) but now i can't remember it. i' m on my 9th try ... will  get locked out after a certain amount of attempts... any suggestions .  i dont want to have to start over ( i think i read that somewhere how many tries do i get?

    Not sure if there is a limit for the number of attempts for it, but if you can't remember the restrictions code then was it on the iPad when you last backed up ? If not then you can restore to that backup and it should be removed. If it was on the iPad when you last backed up then the only way to remove it is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults and you can then re-sync your content back to the iPad - you won't be able to restore to the backup as that will keep the code in place.
