How can I start to use my own address? It is old from .me

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately you cannot change an iCloud mail address once you have created it. You can however use an iCloud alias which you can set up at iCloud.com.
To create an alias.....
Navigate to the Mail feature at iCloud.com and click on the gear icon in the bottom left corner. Choose Preferences from the drop down menu, then select accounts from the options across the top, here you can create your alias.

Well first off you shouldn't have had to pay for a download (just an assumption from the word "purchased".
If you are trying to install iOS 5 on your iPod touch, it won't work they arent compatible. I suggest checking what version of software you are trying to install and posting it in this forum so people can have a better understanding.

I currently have 5 computers authorized but 2 of them I no longer own. How can I deauthorize only those 2 computers?

You cannot deauthorie a computer without access to that computer.
You can deauthorize all, then authorize the active computers.

I cannot use iPhoto now there is Photo on my mac. How can I continue to use iPhoto

I cannot use iPhoto now there is Photo on my mac. How can I continue to use iPhoto

You can, why do you think it's not possible? Does need updating?
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

You should be able to recover the media with the tips in this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That should switch the assocation of the device to the new library but it is not something I've personally tested.
When you get it all working, make a backup!

How can i start to use i chat if it said my password is incorrect and i change it, but still appears that the password is wrong :(

Hi,
AIM
If this is a Name valid with the AIM servers the password has to be 16 characters or Less.
The Apple IDs from MobileMe and @Mac.com allow you to create (And prompt your for ) Longer passwords.
These Names are Valid with the AIM servers but they cannot process the password.
Use iforgot to Change the password to something shorter.
Googletalk
If you are using a Google ID then you have to enter your Google ID as it appears when you log in to the Google Web Mail Page.
The Mail App seems to allow the Endings (@gmail.com and @googlemail.com) to be used almost interchangeably where as the Jabber Server Google run for Google Talk is stricter (so iChat needs to be precise).
Also the chat option needs to appear in the Web Mail page.
If it does not it needs Enabling on you Google Account settings page.

I recently purchased and downloaded a song from iTunes. The download was completed but the song cuts off half way through. How can I download the entire song again?

All you need to do is go to the iTunes store, and then go to purchased in the right side of iTunes store. It is under the quick links. Then you will be able to download the past purchases there.

Upgraded, but now not sure if I lost anything. How can I check?

Hello,
This might seem a bit stupid, but the thing is I hadn't heard about this problems with the upgrade to iPhoto'11 until today. I installed it a couple of days ago with no apparent problem.
But now I'm reading that I might have lost some photos or videos along the way. I have a 10000 photos library and it is not easy to check.
So here's the question:
— Is there anyway I can check if anything went wrong? I thought I might be able to compare the photo count between the current folder and the iPhoto 09 TM backup, but I'm not sure how to do that, though.
Should I repair iPhoto permissions anyway? (This is a single user computer, by the way, and from what I read, that might be the reason for not having those upgrade problems.)
Thank you.

I HAVE OS X 10.7.4 (Lion), BUT I NEED TO RUN SOFTWARE THAT REQUIRES POWERPC. HOW CAN I DO THIS WITH LION?

If you are running Lion then you cannot run PPC software. Your computer would have to be capable of being booted by Snow Leopard in order to run PPC software. Or consider upgrading your PPC software or buying replacement software that works with Lion.
What specific Mac model do you have?

HT201342 I deleted my icloud account but now need my original icloud email address. I can't remember what it is!!!

I deleted my icloud account . . . How can I retrieve my original icloud email address? I need it to reset up my account.

Did you set up iCloud with the same Apple ID you use to post here? If another ID, do you know what that is? If so in either case, just sign in in System Preferences>iCloud to set your account up again; your email will still be there together with any messages which have arrived.

Got a new phone (warranty) and used my last iCloud backup but now says there's not enough storage. How do I fix this?

I got a new phone and did the "restore from iCloud backup" and now none of my new stuff can sync to iCloud due to amount of storage. Is there anything I can do besides buying more memory? I had a gb or 2 left prior to getting the new phone

If you no longer need the backup of your old phone, delete it to free up the storage.
