HT201317 what is my photostream account name

what is my photostream account name? I try to see the photos from my mini mac on my tv using apple tv. Icloud on tv asks my Account name and password for the photostream...what is it?

Thought you said you couldn't find the password. If you mean Apple TV won't take your password I don't know what would cause that. You might want to post the question over in the Apple TV forums: https://discussions.apple.com/community/appletv/appletv.

How to find out Skype account name

Preface: Sorry, I think this is really simple thing but I tend to be verbose when I'm trying to describe the issue. How would I find out what is my Skype account name? Or more precisely the login name? (I mean of course my own name is on the accout, but I want the "account" name, not the name on the accout, heh) I have an old hotmail account, which has become live/messanger/microsoft account and now after Messanger was removed, Skype account as well. I can login into any of these by logging from the Live/Microsoft account, but what is my Skype account if I want to login using that? On Skype program and website, both list my hotmail address as well as "live:hotmailaddess" part before @ character. But I can't login to Skype using the address, "live:address" or just "address". I can't find anything else on the pages. I tried logging out from the website and then using the recovery option "I want to find out my Skype account" (the website is in Finnish so my translation might not be accurate to what it actually is in English). I typed in the hotmail adress many times since the it asked it for many times a row and continued the steps, finally I typed in the address and capcha , then again it asked the address. I think I made a mistake there, because I think it actually wanted on the last time the alternative address. The website was not too clear about it specially since it wants the address so many times. It displays only a small portion of it and since my alternative address is practically identical to the main address, just an underscore is changed to hyphen, well...So finally it displayed "IF the account address is xxxx for whatever a code has been sent to it". Yeah well since I guess typed in the wrong address, I've received nothing on either. This whole ordeal started today few hours ago when I tried to login to the **bleep** thing. I updated the Skype program, since an upgrade have been around for some time now, and since it always resets the autologin information, I had to manually type them in, and it kept asking for alternative verification address or phone number. There was no way to bypass that. Just to make it clear, it wanted me to give such info, not use the alternative thing since so far I've never given any alternative ways to login or reset account.
Somehow at first I was able to finally get in without giving any alternative info, I kept trying to login over and over, occasionally I tried to login using the "Skype account", but since I don't know the account I could only login using the Live/Microsoft account. Then I logged off from the program, and after that I tried to login back, it wanted to manually login again, and it kept asking from the alt details and I couldn't anyhow bypass that. I also tried logging into Hotmail/Outlook.com from the website as well as Skype(from website), both ways wanted the info but to both I finally somehow managed to get in. I mean the websites, logging inside the program failed all the time. Anyway finally I remembered I had made the second account so I figured I give it as alt address. I got that thing in OK, the second address just has hotmail.com, so I could easily login there by another browser and that didn't want any extra verifications. But before this last attempt, I had used the same "I want to know my Skype ID" feature from the program. To clarify, before linking the second address to my main address. But since I was having so much trouble with getting into Skype(and as well as it's Messanger part) I think I didn't check them out. Plus I had trouble getting into the mail as well, although I finally got in. Soooo...the two mails received in the primary address, "Your Skype Name token" messages which have a link and verification number, they won't work anymore. I try either, and neither works. My guess is they got invalidated by the third request or by either finally adding the alternative address. AND, since the third time I mistook it asking the same **bleep** address for the third or fourth time in the last request and gave the main address not the alt address it probably didn't send the code anywhere. And now I tried again the thing but it refuses to go any further than the first step, because it says I've used it too often in the last 24 hours. So, surely the account name should read someplace?I repeat, I can perfectly login into Skype in web and the program, I know the password and hotmail addresses and all that, but the two types of accounts it lists after logging in, neither work for login. Or does it mean I don't actually have a Skype account, just the Live/Microsoft account which I can only use to login to Skype using that other option? I'm starting to think this is the case.

I am definetly starting to think I don't actually have a skype name. Now I tried again since the 24 hour restriction went off. First from Skype webpage ->sign in -> forgotten your skype name? ->there I enter my hotmail address ->send mail ->then it moves off from Skype and into account.live.com, where it's no longer asking anything Skype related: Why are you having trouble signing in?I forgot my passwordI know my password, but can't sign inI think someone else is using my Microsoft account
So I obviously choose the second option last time since it's the closest available option for my problem, but then it gives me options: Get back into your accountWe can help you reset your password and security info. First, enter your Microsoft account and the characters shown. So again it asked for my address and captcha, and after that I could choose to "verify my identity" by choosing the alt email, but since that is slight garbled and cannot be differented from the primary address, and I was already so pissed off from typing the same address over and over, so at that point I mistakenly wrote the main address again where it wanted to verify it by asking the whole alternative address and thus it never sent the account reset email for the Microsoft/Live account. But since I originally had no problems with that Microsoft account, all I wanted was the "Skype Name", and since the only way to try to find it jumps into the restore Microsoft account thing, I'm assuming I don't have one which I could use to login to Skype, so all I can use is the Microsoft/Live account.

I have connected a new time capsule to a dsl modem. It doesnt see the internet. Airport utility says: Disconnected. But it isnt. Internet tab shows PPPoE. Must I enter Account Name or Password? If so, where do I find them? If not, what do I do?

I have connected a new Time Capsule to a DSL modem using an ethernet cable . The modem is working fine and connected fine. But the Time Capsule doesnt seem to be talking to the modem. If I click the internet Icon in Airport Utility it shows Disconnected.If I click the Time Capsule icon and go to the internet tab it shows Connect using PPPoE. Is that what it should be? In the box below there is place for an account name and password. DO I need to filll these out and if so what do I put there--information about the Time Capsule of informationabout the Modem? And where do I find the information.
Or am I completely on the wrong track.

Thanks. The modem is a Speedtouch ST585 v6. How do I know whether it is in adsl bridge? Also this is a modem-***-router. Does that make a difference?
If you did not put it in bridge then it is not in bridge..
Connect a computer directly to the modem.. open the browser to either 192.168.1.254 or 10.0.0.138 (if neither of those work you will have to check the IP address your ISP has set).
BTW who is your ISP and do they allow PPPoE.. for instance most ISP in UK do not use pppoe so you have no choice but to run the 585 as a router. In which case bridge the TC
Anyway.. open the setup configuration in the Thomson and select a template that says bridge.. run through the wizard and it will then bridge the modem.
And I am using Airport Utility 6.0. How do I get the earlier version?
By reading the site link I just gave you.. downloading the utility and running it on your computer. Or simply google to 5.6 lion airport utility... that is the way I find things when I don't have the link memorised.
Finally, AIrport Utility shows a number in a red dot next to the time capsule icon, currently 2. What is that for? What does it tell us?
Firstly download the useful utility.. but the dots tell you something is wrong and preventing the TC from working.. if you open the utility it should tell you what the errors mean.. I cannot tell you what they are, but it is likely to be no internet connection and pppoe has failed.

I want to delete my icloud-account from my iphone 5 and then register again, because I want to change my email-address/account name. What would be the steps to follow? How do I make sure I do not lose any information stored on/in my iphone 5?

You would have to delete the existing iCloud account and create a wholly new one - you cannot change the @icloud.com email address of the one you already have. To make a new one, you will also need an new AppleID as any AppleID can only have one iCloud account associated with it.
Deleting the account will not delete anything off your device (if prompted for things like contacts, choose to keep them). You will have to sync everything anew with the new account as you cannot move your sync'd content, your old backups or anything else from one iCloud account to another. You will have to set up sync again and let it sync to the new account, and then make new backups to the new account as well.

What's the difference between "Full Name" and "Account Name"

Just re-install a new OS X Lion. On the "Create Your Computer Account" screen, what's the difference between "Full Name" and "Account Name"?

Your computer name by default would be "John David Appleseed's Macbook Pro"
But you can always change that in System Preferences->Sharing
And yes, the first account you set up will be an administrator.

You need to reset the password for the "old" account, and then use that to turn off iCloud. Then you will be able to sign in with your new ID.
You can reset your password at iForgot.apple.com.
If you don't know the answers to the security questions, you will need to start there.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
-If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com. Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE: This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
-If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address. Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

After replacing a failed hard drive with new one I inadvertently created a different account name(home/user) than the one in the Time Machine backup. Now I cannot restore the photos in iPhoto. What are my options?

After replacing a failed hard drive with new one I inadvertently created a different account name(home/user) than the one in the Time Machine backup. Now I cannot restore the photos in iPhoto. What are my options?

The best thing to do would be to start over. Use Setup Assistant this time.
Boot into Recovery, launch Disk Utility, and erase the startup volume. This operation will destroy all data on the volume. Quit Disk Utility and install OS X. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
When you reboot, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process. That’s when you transfer the data from one of your backups. For a walkthrough, see here:
Using Setup Assistant
Don't transfer the Guest account, if it was enabled on the old system.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.

I'm using the sync option for when I'm not near my desktop and no matter what it won't work its telling me my account name or password is not correct and it is!

I'm using the sync option for when I'm not near my desktop and no matter what it won't work its telling me my account name or password is not correct and it is!

This is from my personal experience:
It almost happens every time I tried to connect with Sync from my Android phone, the window asking me to enter my account name and password always shows up. And if I enter the information, it'll say I have the wrong password, etc. My workaround is to click the "cancel" button. But it does not cancel immediately. The window will stay on for a while (usually a few minutes), then it'll disappear and start connecting to Sync. And it'll connect and sync successfully.
You can try this workaround but you have to be patient to wait for the window to disappear.
I don't know what is the cause of this, but it has happened ever since FF4 for Mobile came out. I have searched around and couldn't find any solutions.

Home sharing not working on ipad with different account name but same apple id that was created, what to do?

PC is set up for home sharing and 2 iPads and 1 iPhone is sharing fine. 1 iPad and 1 iPhone is not home sharing. The only difference on the devices not working is that the Apple account name is [email protected] while the Apple ID is [email protected] which is also the Apple ID used in creating Home Sharing and is the account used on the devices that are working. Do they need to be the same? My wife has her own iTunes account. If they are the same how would her purchases be charged to her account? Thank you for any help.

How do I get messages to go back to an AIM account? It's only seeing the iPad's Facetime email address and not seeing the old AIM account name that is on my desktop. I am using my iMac using iChat to talk to a newer iMac that doesn't have iChat.

How do I get messages to go back to an AIM account? It's only seeing the iPad's Facetime email address and not seeing the old AIM account name that is on my desktop. I am using my iMac using iChat to talk to a newer iMac that doesn't have iChat. We had this working using Messages and Facetime (on the new machine) talking to my existing iChat account. One day last week, when Facetime rang, my kids answered on the iPad. Dang! Now it's all fouled up! The new iMac won't see my AIM account name and shows that I'm offline, because the iPad is off. We were able to call using "most recent call" in Facetime, but now I can't go and control that new iMac remotely to help with some email concerns the user is having. I'm trying to not personalize this too much, but it's grandkids talking to Grandma and Mom and Dad trying to solve new machine hiccups. Normally, I could just go in via iChat and control the other machine and troubleshoot, but I can't do it with Facetime only. My buddy list doesn't see the other computer even though we are connected on Facetime right now. My name is not highlighted for the other computer. What could have gone so wrong?
Any help would be appreciated.

I can no longer see my account name, but get a Guest user account, I can no longer see my account name, but get a Guest user account

I can no longer see my account name so I can gain access to my information, but now all I get is a Guest user account and it won't let me log into that account. All it lests me do is re-start the computer and use it in restricted mode. Can someone please help me!

Recommendation for your consideration
Hopefully your original user account was an "administrator". I have two admin accts in case one admin. acct gets "trashed.
Lets see what other forum members offer: my solution requires use of terminal and works. CLI (Command Line Interface) might be intimidating for you but we'll see what others possibly offer.
As I say the solution I have works well and will allow you to create new user(s) replacing your former users whatever type they were. I promise to check back today if no solution to you is offered...
Let 'er rip and...
cheers

Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
          •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 993
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
          •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 587
          •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
Thanks to dpepper...

Unable to log in to the user account (name) at this time

I get this error message when I try to log-in in my main admin account. And this is not a lost password issue I know im typing the write password because when I type a wrong one the box shakes when I type the right one it gives me that message.
I tried alot of stuff to gain access to it but I cannot, the only thing that I can do is go in as root user and extract the files that I had in there, but I have no physcial access to the login it self, I started making a different account name for it but I dont want to lose all my prefrenses although I think the only thing that is making it this way is File Vault (its swtiched on for the locked out account)
Any thoughts?

I'm also getting the dreaded "You are unable to log in to the user account __ at this time" but believe this happened when I inadvertently tuned off an external hard drive without ejecting it first. At first, I thought it was a File Vault problem, but my user.sparseimage file is still there and accessible once I changed the permissions to those of another user account.
What I have come to believe, based on other postings I have read on this topic, at least in my case, is that I must have corrupted the logged in user on the netinfo file. The solutions I've seen so far for fixing the netinfo file seem pretty complicated, though I do have a backup of that file.
I have yet to decide whether the netinfo problem is easily fixable or if I would better employ my time moving my iTunes and iPhoto files off that sparse image and into another user account. I'm open to suggestions.
