Do you have a backup on another computer?
You'll have to restore.

since i updated my Apple ID with correct email address I can now only send imessages to email addresses and not iphone numbers - any idea how to fix this problem ?
You might want to try contacting Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click See All Products and Services>iTunes>iTunes Store>Passwords & Security Questions>Lost or Forgotten Apple ID password. They should be able to explain what's going on and help you reset the password for the old ID if necessary. The call should be free.

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.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 have synced two devices in FF. Is it possible to know which computers are synced using? I am worried about someone figuring out my email address and password.
HI nilhanw,
No currently there is not manage devices, only manage device. However changing the password will change the certificates on all the devices within less of an hour.
I hope this helps. -
My original apple id which i use for itunes is not in the form of an email address so i cannot access the cloud. if i change my apple id will it affect my itunes account?
Welcome to the Apple community.
You can use your primary ID or your alternate ID to log into iCloud. If you aren't sure what these are, you can find out at...

i am using my sons old computer, as far as i can see he uninstalled itunes, so i downloaded itunes. I can log in under my email and password but i only see his playlist!!! how can i get to my playlist???
I know this should be simple!!! but i am not Itunes smart?
my original playlist/acct was on another computer that we got rid of.
I have been downloading songs on my Ipod for about a year without logging onto a computer.
Maybe i am saying this wrong, i mean my library of songs. i can only see his songs not mine.Your songs would only be there if you put them there. They do not magically appear in another place.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one. -

Can anyone help ?
Check the trash folder also. Spam could get deleted immediately, depending on how you configured your Comcast account.
Is it possible that you or a family member have another Apple ID? -
I have changed my email address on my phone but my app store will not let me do my updates
Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

I have a new email address and was successful in changing the information online but cannot change it on my iPhone 4S or iPad. When I try to fix the problem it requires me to create a new password and now I can't remember that either.
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. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going 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.

Help! My new iPad Air was set up using my parents apple ID and iTunes account. How do i change it to my own ID and iTunes so that it is recognized as the main device?
Settings > iTunes & App Store > Sign Out.
Sign in with the correct ID.

There is no such thing. Please explain what is really meant by the above statement. -

my husband got an ipad. he has been using my daughters apple id to log in to his ipad. she has an ipod touch. how do i make him his own apple id?
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
If y do not want to use the common ID then:
Note
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account. -
Why when I try to update certain app it require an old email address and password I have not used for years and I do I get to update them on my new details
Apps are tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase them and you will always need to use that ID and password in order to update them.
Saying that you do get to update them on your new details makes no sense at all. -
Just configured my first iPad. Was sure I said no to iCloud , but now having tried out a few apps and then deleted them they seem to exist in iCloud. Why would this be ?
They don't exist in iCloud.
iCloud is Apple's service for backups and App data storage / syncing.
Purchased Apps, when removed from the iPad will still appear in your Purchased history, and you can still download them from "the" cloud which is just a generic term for Apple's App servers.
Purchased Apps can de re-downloaded for free from the "cloud". To allow you to do this Apple keeps a historic list of all your purchases so you can download them again should you ever need to without charging you again for them.
This has nothing to do with the iCloud service you can choose not to use. For Calendars, Notes etc...
It is independent un unrelated.
