HT3910 Hi, I'm trying to create a new account because I have bought an iMac second hand and the previous user doesn't remember his admin account password. Would someone advise me on what command prompts I need to write in order to create a new account. Th
Hi,
Just wondering how I can create a new account and password?
I've bought a second hand iMac from a dealer who hasn't fully erased the previous owner's user name and password. Therefore , I can't update or install any new password or update to Mountain Lion...
There is also no installation disc, so I don't seem to be able to reset the password that way.
I've just gone into the dos text :/root and wondered what I can do to create a new account and password without having to reinstall Snow Leopard?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Steve

i am able to see my ipod touch 5th geneneration in find my iphone on icloud but it is showing offline.... i think its stolen but i have locked it with a passcode and the person who i suspect doesnt know it... i wana get it back what should i do??
lost/stolen
No app on the iPod is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or conbtinue to show off-line.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
iCloud: Erase your device
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
- If not shown/shown off, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

I have realised over time I have created multiple accounts. I have bought music on my Iphone and am not able to locate the account that I made most of my purchases on. I have bank statements on the purchases but don't know how to contact someone in Itune to help me. PLEASE
I don't have the app adn no expereince with it, but it appears basec on teh app description you may need it installed on your MAC as well to download the files.

Probably because its the ID of the person they stole it from...
It cannot be activated unless the rightful owner either enters their password on the phone or deactivates it through their iCloud account. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661 for what the rightful owner has to do. -

You're right - that link goes to a dead-end (sorry OP ).
Looks like it's all down to the paid for one now, although you can use it in demo mode for 14 days:

First off, I've a 16gb unlocked white iPhone 4s. The discussion title kind of explains the entire situation. I can't get on to apple to get it repaired, because it says the serial code is a replacement and invalid - I bought the phone from DoneDeal.ie (an Irish Craigslist/eBay basically) and the guy I bought it from gave me the box with everything in it, phone, phone charger, warranty, apple care, everything. But then I looked closer and realised the apple care document was faked, and the warranty was also fake. I checked online with my IMEI code and the website said the warranty was well up, and that the phone was a replacement.
I was told the phone was brand new and that it was literally just out of the box but obviously that was a lie.. Anyway, approximately 3/4 months later, the WiFi broke - When I went in to to turn the wifi on in the settings menu, the wifi was greyed out and didn't have an option to be turned on. I've since got the wifi repaired for the 5th time as it constantly goes back to the greyed out option every month or so. The repair shop (not sure if it was apple official or anything, if I had to guess, I'd say it wasn't) said they could either give us back our money or repair it one last time but it's gone again and that's kinda the last straw, they said it was a generic problem they'd found on all iPhone 4s's and that basically, I'd just have to deal with it as apple are not very helpful with replacing these phones but obviously I'd like to give them a chance to prove that wrong though.
Anyway, seeing as I can't contact apple through the customer support section, any chance someone from apple can give me some feedback as to what my options are on this discussion?
I don't even need a replacement phone (although that would be ideal) but I definitetly need a repair that's going to work for more than a month..
Thanks to anyone who can help, but especially to anyone from apple!If the repair shop was not apple certified repair shop then Apple will not replace/ or touch that device with a ten foot pole sadly. I'd follow Rudegar's advise and try anthoer repair shop as sadly it sounds like you got jipped by the original owner. Always verify your infomation through the company before you hand over the money!

I have an old Imac G4 from 2003. I would like to start using it again, however it is so out of date and runs too slowly. What are my options to update it? I really don't want to invest a ton of money - I might as well get a new one, so if there are any reasonable ways to get it to run Snow Leopard or even Lion, please help. I've also considered using a mac mini? Is that worth it either? I'm not sure which way to go here. I don't want to trash it, I feel like it can be a great computer if updated.
Presumably it is running tiger 10.4.11?
It may be able to run Leopard 10.5:
Leopard system requirements:

But that is as far as the old PPC Macs can go, and Leopard can cost up to $200 on Amazon. -
please help !!
With iOS 7 activation lock, you need to know the previous owners AppleID password, or have them remove the device from their iCloud account. Otherwise, you will never be able to use that device.
So get in touch with the previous owner as otherwise, you now own a brick. -
PLEASE HELP! I can't connect it to iTunes either because the iPad is kind of broken
If you have encountered activation lock, your iPad will be useless unless you can contact the prior owner. They have to give you the ID and password, or erase it and remove it from their account as explained in the article you were reading. No one else can help you with this and there is no way around it.

I can't upload pictures to Facebook Pages albums with my IPad Mini 3. I've tried safari too and the basic uploader doesn't work. I can add photos to the wall but I need to put them in albums for my Boutiqu
It is peculiar, that Chrome, Safari, and Skype can access FB, but not the iPhoto uploader.
Do you see any error messages/ diagnostics in the Console Window, when you try to connect to Facebook?
Launch a Console window from Applications > Utilities and clear the Console Window. Then try to upload. Are there any new messages?
And also launch a Terminal and have a look, if "facebook.com" is properly resolved:
Type
ping facebook.com
into the window. Do you see any transmissions? What is the IP address used?
I see:

This question was solved.
View Solution.Your problem is that the program wants a good video card and a fast hard drive and lots of memory and you have none of the above. If you upgraded the RAM to 8 gigs and installed a solid state hard drive you might make the program useable but the real bottleneck is going to be the Intel HD graphics, which cannot be upgraded.
You do have an open slot to add one 4 gig memory module. This is an easy relatively inexpensive upgrade. See here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7FvZ-JduRM
http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/ct51264bf160b
I would try this a step at a time. Next would be the solid state drive. That would cost maybe $150. Post back if you need more help.

Today is April 10, 2013. I try to login to iTunes connect and I keep getting the message "An error has occurred processing your request. Please try again later or send an email for assistance." It never tells us what email address we need to write to.
The problem was solved by Apple Technical Help. The process is as flollows:
1. Open Safari
2. Menu item Safari-Reset Safari - remove all website data - reset
3. Now if you try to login on iTunes connect it will work. -
