How to use the iCloud password update on an iMac?

I have changed my password for iCloud and my iMac keeps telling me that i will have to reset the password through the app.com website. I have done this three times and the iMac still does not update my password. So i am thinking that i will have to reset my computer, is this a good option, if so
how do i do this?

Unfortunately Apple has not (yet) implemented a resolution independent GUI. This means that the only way to change the size of text overall is to change the resolution of the display - System Preferences > Displays. The problem with this is that LCDs have one resolution that's native. Changing the resolution of your display will make the font larger but it will tend to redult in a fuzzy display. However it is worth playing with since iMacs generally do have more than one resolution that works without fuzziness. Whether any of them will meet your needs is another story.
But as you found with Safari, it is possible to change the resolution of individual applications. While we cannot change the native resolution of the menubar and some aspects of an application, we can change some of them. For example, I have Word & Excel configured to automatically display file contents at 150%. Not all programs offer this capability but many do.

  • How to use the code to update to mountain lion?

    hi
    How can you use the code tu free update to Mountain Lion?  thks

    Basically you are asking as how to port silverlight to Xaml (RT). Go one by one converting each API from silverlight to XAML, like IsolatedStorage isn't there in RT, so look for its alternative etc.
    See here the namespace/class mappings : Windows Phone Silverlight to Windows Runtime namespace and class mappings

  • HT201317 I have no idea how to use the iCloud, it appears to be turned on but now what?

    is there a sign on page for icloud?

    Turn on the data you want to sync with iCloud in Settings>iCloud.  After doing this, some of this data will appear on icloud.com when you check from your computer, and it will sync with other devices and computers sharing the account.  You can also turn on Find My iPad to locate your iPad and secure it if it is ever lost/stolen, iCloud backup to automatically back it up to iCloud daily, and photo stream if you want to stream photos taken on your iPad to your other devices, and share them with others.

  • How to use the MAC Keyboard

    Can anyone point me to a tutorial or posting which explains how to use the keyboard?
    I have an iMac (sep2009) with a wired keyboard including numeric keypad and there are keys that I just do not know how to use
    eg:
    How do I put FUNC LOCK on so that when I using Excel the F2 key becomes EDIT CELL rather than adjusting the brightness
    What do the keys below the F14 and F15 keys do? There is an angled arrow up and left and ne down and right. and there is an arrow up with two lines crossing it a,d another similar one down. What are we supposed to sue these for?
    Under the F16 key there is a box with a cross through it. What does that do?
    WHy are F5 and F6 blank?
    What does the big key on the very right bottom do?
    I would have thought that there would be a MAC101 guide to the keyboard but I cannot find it... Any help from out here?
    Many thanks

    System Preferences>Keyboard; Set it to use Function keys as F1, F2, etc.

    I just loaded the UK Apple store and compared the keyboards to the ones at the US store. I guess since you are so "international" over there, you get pictures instead of words. My guess would be Home, End, Page Up and Page Down
    Under the F16 key there is a box with a cross through it. What does that do?
    Clear key for the numeric keypad.
    WHy are F5 and F6 blank?
    No additional functions assigned to them.
    What does the big key on the very right bottom do?
    Enter key for the numeric keypad.
    I would have thought that there would be a MAC101 guide to the keyboard but I cannot find it... Any help from out here?
    I think Apple thinks based on where you live, you understand pictures instead of words. Probably cheaper to make one keyboard than ones for each language.
    Many thanks
    Edit: Almost forgot. MAC is an acronym for Media Access Control. A Mac (short for Macintosh) is a personal computer made by Apple.

  • I changed my appleID but iCloud is still using the old one and no place to change it.  How do I get iCloud to update to the new ID?

    I changed my appleID but iCloud is still using the old one and no place to change it.  How do I get iCloud to update to the new ID?

    You have to sign out completely and then sign back in.
    On a Mac, System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign out'.
    On an iOS device, Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete account' (this will not delete the account from the server).
    Your synced data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in (give it time).

  • I see there is another ios update. I have an iPhone 4S. The last time I updated the ios I lost all my contacts, as I had not been using the iCloud as a backup. I am now apprehensive about the latest update. How can I determine if contacts are backed up?

    I see there is another ios update. I have an iPhone 4S. The last time I updated the ios I lost all my contacts, as I had not been using the iCloud as a backup. I am now apprehensive about the latest update. How can I determine if contacts are backed up?

    You should never lose contacts under any circumstances.
    Although contacts are included with the iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer where such important data should be available with or without an iPhone or any cell phone. Not a good idea to depend on a cell phone for such important data which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair.
    In addition, there are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts over the air including an iCloud account, Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail.
    If you are not syncing contacts over the air with an iCloud account and not backing up your iPhone wirelessly with your iCloud account, your iPhone's backup is being updated by iTunes on your computer which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
    With Windoze, contacts can be synced with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events, notes, and reminders, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express and by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only. With a Mac, contacts can be synced with the Address Book app. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    If the supported address book app on your computer is not used and has no contacts available, before the first sync for this data enter one contact in the supported address book app on your computer. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.

  • How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas

    How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • When i update apps on my iphone they need the ID that i used when i downloaded these app and i forgot this ID and a make a new ID how i used the new one to update these apps thanks

    Hello all,
    when i update apps on my iphone they need the ID that i used when i downloaded these apps and i forgot this ID and a make a new ID
    How i used the new one to update these apps?
    thanks

    Your device can hold apps from multiple IDs, but to update them you have to swicth identities which is time consuming. If possible use only the one ID. If you need to reset the password for your old ID visit My Apple ID.

    Apparently the iCloud password on my iPhone is incorrect, how can I change it?

    Hi Francessco,
    If the password saved for iCloud on you iPhone is incorrect, but you know the correct password (for example, you can log in to your account at iCloud.com), you may need to update the saved password on the device. You may find the following article helpful:

    I apparently moved or deleted my iCloud folder and keep getting this message Use the iCloud Control Panel to pick a new folder.  How do I do this?

    I have/had the same problem, just started this morning. I tried a system restore to a known good date. I still had the problem so I rolled restored the system to the latest.
    Thinking that it might have something to do with priviliges, I reviewed my user account and noticed it was set to "Administrator". On a whim, I switched my user account from administrator to "standard user" and I'll be... the issue dissapeared. I have no idea why. But I thought I'd pass it along.
