HT201240 my mac password is short how can I change it?
My iphone or iPad kept on saying your mac pass word is short when I try to share internet. How can I change that?
I don't think it's your Mac password that's short, it's your WiFi password.

I have changed my apple id but when i try to log into icloud etc it lists my old id therefore my password is wrong as there is no such account now, how do i change this to show my new id and get into my account
To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.
If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password. -
How do i change apple id without password . I have tried to change it but the email gets sent to a generic address. Can anyone please help ?
Thank you !
<Email Edited by Host>Apps and their updates are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them originally, regardless of whether or not you are still using this ID for iTunes. If these apps were purchased with your former husband's ID you won't be able to update them without providing the password for this ID. You will have to delete them from your phone and your iTunes library and re-purchase them using your current ID in order to stop this.

My iphone 4 is asking for the wrong apple id password.. How can i change this?
I have two apple ids. One was made by mistake and now everytime i want to download an app it ask for that apple id that i do not use. How can i make it ask for the one i do use?? help please!
Go to Settings _ Store _ Press the Apple ID button on the bottom.
Log out, and then log back in on the other account.
If you purchased any app on the old account, then it will ask for that password when you update the app. -
I need help to delete my icloud account from my iPad. It has "Find my iPad" on it and won't let me delete without the old password. I don't want to reset password as it will require reset of Mac Book Pro and 2 iphones. Help appreciated.

Your description of the problem is a bit confusing. Do you have ONLY ONE Apple ID or do you have MORE THAN ONE? -

I recently inherited a power mac from my dad how do i change admin passwords and such so I can use it?
And if you can't log into the machine at all, you'll need:
Mac OS X: Changing or resetting an account password.
You'll need a system recovery or Mac OS X install disc. Don't drop your Dad's user account, though. If he's got any serialized software, it may not function for all users on the machine, and you may need to go back to his account. -

How can we change the password in the iBook donated to our nonprofit? No password was given with the iBook and every time we try to install items, the password window pops up. We need to put in printer and other software. Help! We can use the laptop without changing the password.
If you did not get an OS X install-restore DVD with the computer you may need
to buy one from somewhere, and you may be lucky to get a retail OS X 10.5.x
version. The original grey-label install set of software and OS X it shipped with
likely would be an older system than Leopard 10.5. Last versions of G4 Mac, &
G5, shipped with a Tiger 10.4 system; so did early Intel-based Mac. Grey discs
which accompanied other computer build models generally do not interchange.
The last OS X version a PowerPC architecture can use, if supported, is 10.5.8.
A PPC processor at 867MHz & faster should be able to run OS X 10.5 Leopard.
{With the correct disc installer, you can use it to change a password and other
things including re-install, and perform disk utility functions, etc.}
There is a chance you may be able to get a white-label Replacement 10.4 DVD
or Replacement 10.5 DVD from AppleCare or the online Apple Store (800myapple)
from a Mac OS X system specialist; these have been available yet hard to get
as not all persons involved with them seem to know if they still exist until someone
is asking. These aren't retail stock, are special discs for computers who could use
a system later than original old discs; these are complete install discs not for one
specific series of Mac. Generally they'd work in supported PowerPC G4/G5; but
do not replace specialized original install DVD, such as an early Intel mac requires.
You'd need to have a serial number of the computer, and a method of payment
when seeking some replacement system media from Applecare or Apple sales
and these discs are not available in a retail store. The original Retail discs are
labeled differently and shipped in a retail box with a big X on the front. Other
sources for retail 10.4 Tiger or 10.5 Leopard may be online via amazon sellers
or computer resellers who handle repaired Macs. Avoid mystery grey label ones
that were intended to be sold and kept with their original computer kits.
Good luck! -

How can i change my email address on my mac book air email that has already been on the mac book air to my new email as my old email address has been hacked and it will not let me change it
Call the tech support for the provider of your old email. They will be able to change the password for you or if they can't they will shut the account down so that spammer is not able to use it.
