HT202667 Is there a workaround to adopt an existing iCloud address to work with my AppleID?

I have an old iCloud / @me.com email address I would like to use with my Apple ID. Apple won't let me register this email because it says it is already its own AppleID. Is there a workaround for this?

I'm afraid there is no workaround. Once an address has been associated with an Apple ID, either as the primary address or an alias, it cannot be moved away from that account. Don't waste your energy trying to chase this one: it can't be done.

  • I just purchased a new imac and my HP Color Laserjet CP1215 pinter is not supported by HP.  is there a workaround/third party software that will make it work?

    I just purchased a new imac and after connecting my HP CP1215 color laserjet printer found that HP does not support this printer.  I contacted Apple support and they could not supply any help.  Is there a alternate way/software avalable to make this printer work with my imac?

    Of course, once I posted this, I tried again and downloaded the driver without issue.
    My second question still stands, however:
    Scanning is not supported on my printer model with the Hewlett Packard Print 2.12 driver. Will support be forthcoming, or did Mountain Lion brick my scanner?

  • Is there any Sound card 5.1 include stereo mix that working with MacBook Air such as Creative Labs SoundBlaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro Entertainment System ? and if there any another sound card can you tell me what is it please ? Thank you.

    Okay, I did my best searching and I couldn't find anything that matched all your descriptors. I did do a search on both decoder numbers. SB0256 returned very little results, but with SB0466, I was able to find this ebay listing:
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...6_fvi%3D&_rdc=
    This card isn't a Champion like you suggested. And with my complete lack of knowledge, I don't know what I/O dri've bay means. But since it is PCI and the decoder matches the number you gave me, this card should be adequete, right?
    Whether it works or not, my search indicated it might be very hard for me to find that card (or any PCI card for that matter). Everything I saw was out of stock. I know this is a forum for Creative, but are there any other manufacturers that will allow me to accomplish my goal, either with current cards, or discontinued cards? Thanks again
    Oh, and I will vote on that thread. I probably won't wait for them to release the decoder since I need it now, but I still believe Creative should be giving the customer what they want

  • Is there an external camera for ipad1 available and does it work with 4.3.5?

    Is there an external camera for ipad1 available and does it work with 4.3.5? Really hoping to get facetime going on my ipad

    AFAIK, no one makes an add on camera for the iPad1.  If selling your iPad1 and buying an iPad2 is out, then you can use Skype on the iPad1.  Although the other person won't see you, the iPad1 will receive Skype video so you can see them, if they enable their video.

  • Is there a way to get the Mendeley references manager to work with pages?

    Is there a way to get the Mendeley references manager to work with pages?  If not, what is the best reference manager to use with Pages?  I hate "Endnote" and, while I like "Papers", it does not have much support for shared libraries (with collaborators--their Livfe option only permits 50 shared papers and does not work well) or synching a single library across multiple Macs (i.e. home+work).  I need a good reference manager that supports 1) synching across multiple Macs, 2)working with collaborators and 3) has no problem importing different reference styles.  I don't want to use Word or Endnote unless I absolutely must--Pages is much better for everything else I do.  This is for use in preparing scientific manuscripts and grant applications.  Thanks.

    If you have not done so already, make sure you also ask the people who make it:

    Headsets don't come with the iPad. All you get is the iPad, USB cable and wall charger.

  • Will there ever be an upgrade for Lightroom 3 that will work with Nikon d800 NEF files?

    Will there ever be an upgrade to Lightroom 3 that will work with Nikon D800 NEF files?

    Why not use Lightroom 4 instead?
    I mean, assuming you can get it running fast enough, you'll usually get better results with PV2012 - right? And in the cases where you prefer PV2010 (if there are any), it's there too...

  • I have an ipod touch and just updated my software to ios 7.1.2. Now I get the message that my adapter, accessory does not support my device. Is there a new adapter that I need to buy that works with the ios 7.1.2?

    i have an ipod touch and just updated my software to ios 7.1.2. Now I get the message that my adapter, accessory does not support my device. Is there a new adapter that I need to buy that works with the ios 7.1.2?

    This is not my problem. However, I think it may be related to an old speaker. I was using the 30 pin adapter for about a week after the upgrade to 7.1.2. But I think with the update the speaker won't work anymore. I will try with a new speaker system. Thank you for trying to assist.

  • Is there such a thing as a USB WIFI adapter that works with OS X 10.9?

    Is there such a thing as a USB WIFI adapter that works with OS X 10.9? I have tried 3 different models, none of which were compatible. The built-in WIFI card in a 2012 Mac Pro is absolutely crap (0/10 on the performance scale). Any recommendations?

    Hey everyone, yes I have installed the drivers properly. I've used an ASUS, Bolse, and EDIMAX adapter. Some had a 10.8 driver, some had 10.9. After reaching out to customer support for each and every one of these companies for help, and through multiple returns, I have not gotten anywhere with any of the drivers or products.
    It's getting ridiculously hard to stay an Apple customer when the quality of their products are getting worse and worse, which leaves me no choice but to go to third parties to replace the faulty hardware.
    And honestly I'm just sick of calling India every day to get my issues resolved.

  • Are there any drivers for NI's Audio 4 DJ that work with 10.7.4?

    I have been trying to get my system working with my dj equipment since I bought my Mac and I have had no luck. I have installed the Beta drivers from Native Intsruments' website, but I'm starting to wonder if there's something else going on. I am running an Audio 4 DJ with my 13" Macbook Pro that has a 2.90GHz i7 and 8GB of 1600MHz DDR3 RAM. I have been scouring the NI forums, but I think it may be best to turn to the Apple community on this one. Can anyone help? By the way, I just converted from an older Dell laptop to my nice, new Mac so I am still getting new to Lion and how it is laid out.

    Currently, there are no further updates to the AirPort software applicable to your base station.

  • Is there any way to recover a .tif I was just working with?

    The Facts
    System:  PC
    Program:  Photoshop CS5
    Version:  12.0.4
    The Situation
    I am working with a .tif file (1000 cm x 1000 cm at 72 dpi).  I have been copying and pasting images from other .tif files into it in order to see all images at once, so I can then move them around and try to fit certain images together.  I have been saving it as a .tif with no compression over the last few days.  The file is now 2.61 GB with 119 images.
    The Problem
    Before going to lunch, I saved it as I always do and left.  When I returned, Photoshop told me it could not open because it did not recognize the file type.
    My Questions
    1.  Is there any way to recover my file?
    2.  It is imperative that the files I am adding to this .tif remain their actual size.  That said, what is the best image compression option that I should use?
    The File
    Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

    I do not know if your file can be recovered.  But I may be able help you to recreate it with ease.  If you will settle for a composite where all image are re-sized for a particular tile size and virtually cropped to its aspect ratio.  However all source image need be gathered into a folder to use my script process.

  • Is there any updates since February 2014 re: macbook pro not working with Smartboard?

    My computer recognizes that it is attached but will not display what is on the desktop. I am currently running Snow Leopard on MacBook Pro and trying to project in onto a Smart Board 600 series.  The MacBook Pro used to work with Smart Board; now, all of a sudden it does not work.  And, sometimes it will project, but many times it simply will not.  I am using a brand new adapter, and projection works with my Epson Powerlite 78 at home. 
    Smart Board refers me to Apple Support believing the conflict to be hardware.  Incidentally, I downloaded Smartboard software to my MacBook Pro previously, but uninstalled it because it was causing crashes to my computer. But, users do not have to download SmartBoard software for projection.
    Are there any possible solutions to my inquiry?  Thank you for any considerations.

    Hi, well basically our family got BT infinity about 2 weeks ago, and it worked with my macbook for about 3 days or so, but after that just suddenly stopped working. It says it's connected in airport and gives full connection, but chrome, spotify, skype, etc do not work. However the rest of the computers in the house which run on windows do work. For the last week or so I have been using a neighbour's open wireless (Netgear) which has been pretty consistent if a little slow. So basically, is there anything i can do? i've pretty extensively looked at all the forums regarding MBPs and routers, and it seems it may be a mac fault (meaning i may be in the wrong forum.) but any help would be appreciated. thanks.
    Hi there,
    It sounds to me like you're having troubles with the wireless channels on the Home Hub.
    Here's what I'd suggest you do: Download istumbler on your Mac (or inssider 2 on your PC) and use this to check which wireless channel you're currently on and if need be, change to a less congested channel.
    I hope this info helps.

I need a stable webbrowser that will work with a 16 bit window 7 machine. The websites are as follows
