HT1918 My apple I'd is incorrect, how do I clear everything and start over

I can not download apps

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

  • Can't download Mavericks. Download is stuck. How can I stop it and start over?

    Tried to download it several weeks ago and closed my macbook about halfway through. The download wouldn't resume. My only options are pausing and resuming it, neither of which work. It's just stuck there. My launchpad icon has the download bar underneath it halfway complete. How can I just cancel it and start over?

  • Blue screen after reinstall of 10.1, how to remove OS X and start over?

    I updated 10.1 to 10.1.5 a month ago, then Software Update found additional updates to 10.1.5. After running them, several applications (especially Flash) stopped working correctly.
    I attempted Disk Utility etc and found nothing wrong. I then attempted to uninstall 10.1.5 with the original 10.1 install disc but it does not allow that option. In desperation I tried installing 10.1 from the DVD, which it said was successful, but on reboot (after the normal MAc OSX bootup window) I get a blue screen with black-lettered clock in the upper right and a moveable mouse pointer but no desktop and all keys give only the submarine sound.
    I am now running from the 10.1 System on another drive.
    How do I remove all OSX stuff from my original hardrive and start over?

    You cannot install a previous version of OS X over a more recent version without first erasing the hard drive (at least in your case because of the versions involved.) To reinstall 10.1 over 10.1.5 requires that you erase the hard drive, then install 10.1.
    You might have saved some time and trouble by simply updating the software that wasn't working to newer versions that are compatible with the version of OS X you have installed.

  • How to erase ipod touch and start over

    Hello All,
    Michael K. here. This is my first post and my first time here. I hope you can help. Thanks.
    I downloaded IOS 8 a few days ago onto my iPod Touch, 5th gen.
    Ever since I put the IOS 8 on I've had nothing but problems! ----- ie: message states I have no internet  connection. I don't. How do I get it back?
    I've checked my setting in the Wi-Fi section and my ID is there, with a checkmark next to it. Above it though is: Wi-Fi with the green area on the on/off switch showing. My ID has a padlock, the wi-fi symbol and the circled i.
    When I go to the ICloud page on the ipod ( as instructed in the ipod IOS 8 manual I found on the internet ) it has my name at the top of the page, my email address in small letters directly under it and then a space that asks for my password.I changed my password on my Mac-mini ( which I'm using now ) about an hour ago. I've typed my password into that space a million times, just to be sure I wasn't mistyping it but after waiting through the " verifying " process, I get a message that reads : " The password you entered is incorrect " ----- then there's an " OK " to check.
    Please help!
    I just got this Mac-mini four days ago, replacing an HP ChromeBox. I thought that this was gonna be smooth sailing since the swap. Wrong!
    Very frustrating not to be able go listen to podcasts on the iPod and also miss the music while exercising.
    So I thought that by " wiping out the iPod Touch " and starting with a " New " ipod, I could get the thing working again.
    As you've no-doubt surmised, I'm not very computer literate. My reason for wiping out the Touch is because that's how I remember to " fix " many things.
    Heck, just unplug it, wait 15-20 seconds, plug it in again, and Viola!!!!! the problem is fixed.
    But should I wipe out my ipod? There's nothing really on it that I need. I can install stuff I want again later.
    Anyway, sorry for the long rant, but can anyone tell me what to do to get m iPod working again?
    I'd REALLY appreciate it!
    Thank you,

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • How to wipe everything and start over from the beginning in Lightroom 4

    i had photos all over the place including in Lightroom I moved them all to an external hard drive now I want to reinstall Lightroom but can't find the disc. How to wipe everything and just restart.

    Creating a new catalog and reimporting to it is the easiest way to start over. However, you should be aware that by doing so you will lose any editing and organizing that you have done because unless you have exported edited versions the edits are no more than entries in the old catalog - the photos are unchanged. If you do want to retain your work, a better route would be to revise the old catalog and bring it up to date with the new folder and photo locations, as explained here: Can I simply move my main pictures folder to External Hard Drive?

  • How to delete all photos and start over

    is it possible to delete everything in i-photo and start over again from scratch.  I have dvd copies of everything, I want to start over just like the first time I opened the program.
    new albums, new folders, ect---I really screwed up everything and want to start over

    Just go into the pictures folder and delete the iPhoto Library. The next time you start iPhoto it will create a new one.
    Just in case, you might want to rename it instead. That way you can still access the old library if you have to. When you find that you don't need it, you can delete it.

  • When I click on itunes, I get error saying Quick time failed to initialize, no matter how many times I uninstall and start over.  What am I doing wrong?

    My itunes account wouldn't open, so I had to uninstall and re-install.  I've done this 3 times with an error popping up everytime that "Quick time failed to initialize".  The message then suggests I uninstall itunes and reinstall.  If I click on Quicktime, independently, it opens right up with no problem.  What can I do?

  • Catalog is jacked,  How can I remove it and start over

    My catalog is really in bad shape, I have tried to remove it, and can find no option to do so.  I have tried to reconnect all missing files, and it runs through about 25,000 pictures and when it is done, nothing is changed. most of my directores are empty, if I have any photos displayed they are showing question marks, and only about 1/10 of the photos are actually connected.   I have tried to get photos and videos from folders but it does not help. (similar results to reconnecting.
    This program is worthless with a bad catalog.  I tried to un install the entire program and much to my dismay when I resinstalled, it, there was my bad catalog!!!!.
    I tried to delete files with catalog in my pictures\pictures directory, but his  had no impact.
    Please help!

    Thanks. PE7.  Now I figured this one out, but it took a while. I tried to use the optimize and the repair functions, but still had a very corrupt file.  I finally realized that it would not let me delete my catalog until a created another one (seems like it will not let you delete your only catalog).  Once I created a new one, I was able to delete the old one.  Then with the new empty catalog, I was able to rebuild it so it only looked at my pictures directory.  Took about 1 hour or so to complete 20 k of photos, but now I am good.

  • The spinning "wheel of death" does NOT go away! I've loaded too much stuff on my computer (including the entire Adobe CS6 software) and I want to delete everything on my macbook pro and start over? How do I clean everything up without buying MacKeeper?

    I use my MacBook Pro (Late 2009) for EVERYTHING and I have loaded so many apps, even doubles of some, I think!   My computer is running really SLOW and I think it is because I don't have enough memory. 
    I just installed the new Adobe CS6 and that was a BIG mistake.  The spinnning wheel of death doesn't stop! I wish I could load that program on my computer so I can use it "on the go", but I can't stand the spinning wheel! 
    I want to clean up my computer and get rid of EVERYTHING on it!!     Then, re-install the factory settings to run Lion.  I believe this will make the wheel stop spinning.
    However, how do I make sure that all of the extra stuff that is attached to the app, ( including all the cache') is deleted too?   I don't want to have to buy MacKeeper! 
    I am hoping the computer wizards or the apple team can give me an answer on how to clean up everything and start over.  I have saved everything on my desktop mac. 

    Thank you so much for the help!  I had heard bad things about MacKeeper and I don't want to screw up my macbook  any more than it already is!  I will do as you suggest.  Do you believe this is the best solution for the problem I described?
    Should I load my Adobe Creative Suite 6 (in the cloud version) on an external hard drive? 
    I am so tired of this spinning wheel....should I avoid putting the CS6 on my macbook pro altogether?
    I have it on my desk top mac, but wanted to be able to take the photo editing with me when I am "out and about".  I know I should probably buy the ipad, which would transport much easier, but even the ipad probably doesn't have the capacity to hold all the Adobe CS6 apps, correct?

  • How to erase everything in iTunes and start over

    I now realize that I have TWO of each file and that NEITHER file shows the play count and rating from my previous computer. Furthermore, none of my playlists show up.
    For this reason, I would like to know how I can erase EVERYTHING in my iTunes library (music, videos, etc.) and start over.
    I used this tutorial to move all my music: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
    Someone please tell me how I can erase everything and start over so I can transfer all my music and playlists and music information (stars, play counts) from my iBook to my MacBook.

    I've transferred music between computers like that, and I have NEVER been able to transfer play counts and ratings, which can be pretty frustrating, but hey at least you have all your music. If you want to start over, just select all your iTunes songs and erase them, and then open the music files on your harddrive or iPod or wherever they are, and you should be fine. If it bothers you seeing a zero next to the playcount, you can try hiding the playcount under the settings so you won't be reminded of it. I don't think it's possible to transfer playcounts, but if it is then good luck, and I hope this helps!

      Bought a new iphone 6 with Verizon plan 2/11/15. Tried to connect with my home wifi  3 or 4 times with I thought the correct password but now it says Forget This Network and wont let me try again. Can't its the only network available. How do I clear this and start over. Thanks, this laptop connects fine but this is my first smartphone and  I don't see why it gives a crap if I  mess up 50 times! Help!

    Help is right here for you Omichael! Let's get you conneted
    to your home wifi. May I ask are you able to connect to other wifi networks? If
    so then please forget your home network again, turn wifi off, reboot, and
    retest. If this doesn't work then you will want to reset network settings.
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Keep in mind that
    this will delete ALL wifi passwords that you have saved.

  • How do I delete everything in Iphoto and start over

    I have given up trying to fix my library. I would like to delete everything in old library and hope I can reimport my pictures from disks and edit then again. how do I make sure everything that was in the old library is absolutely, positively gone so that it (hopefully) doesn't mess up again? Just trash the library everywhere I can find it and start importing again?

    They were showing up when I launched IPhoto. But when trying to upload, I would browse and find pictures, then Iphoto Library. In Iphoto library, the new albums, folders, etc., were not showing up - it still had the old ones so I would have had to look at each picture in it to make sure it was the right one.
    Example: In my first Iphoto library, I had a file called wedding, one called wedding 2, etc. My pictures kept disappearing and I did what you suggested and created a new library and they showed back up. But when I organized them in the new library, I had a file called wedding and one called bridesmaids. When browsing to upload photos, my Iphoto library on the computer still had the old file names in it.
    That's why I'm wondering if I need to completely delete everything and start over.

    Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to purchase them originally. Did you try entering your old password and see if that works?
    If you need to sign out of your old account go to Settings>Store>Tap on your ID and sign out. Sign in with the new one.
    you can also access your ID in the featured tab of the App Store. Swipe to the bottom of the screen and you will find it there as well.
