HT4796 I didn't change password when it first appeared and I don't remember my PC password

I transferred my PC to my Mac but missed the step to change the password. Now to open the info I have to use my password for my old computer and I don't remember it

Boot into Recovery by holding down cmd-r when you hear the startup tone.
Once it boots into Recovery, Go to the Utilities menu and select Terminal.
Type resetpassword and hit Return key.
Follow the prompts to select the hard drive, then your user name.
Reset the password.
Once done, quit out of the password reset utility and then restart from the Apple menu.
Once you've restarted and logged in, open Keychain Access.
Open Preferences from the Keychain Access menu.
On the General tab, click Reset my Default keychain.
That will reset the default keychain so that it uses the same password as your login.

Downloaded the original Lightroom free when it first appeared and have purchased updates since. I have no previous version serial

Have no original version serial # now itwants it to reinstall to a new hard drive after the last on died... How do I accomplish this?

Cloud programs do not use serial numbers... you log in to your paid Cloud account to download & install & activate... you MAY need to log out of the Cloud and restart your computer and log back in to the Cloud for things to work

Hello, StephCalderon11.

I can't sign into iCloud because my Apple ID doesn't work there. For some reason it gave me a .mac email and I don't remember the password. When it gives me the option to reset my password, it's my Apple ID password which I don't want to do.

What do I do?

Hello deborahmp,
Depending on how you have your Apple ID set up, reset or security related emails may either be sent to your primary or your rescue email address. If you are having issues resetting your Apple ID password, you may find the steps and options outlined in the following article helpful, up to and including contacting Apple Support directly if necessary:

Hi. How can I delete my icloud account on my iPhone? I don't have that email address I was using anymore. I tried deleting it but it is asking for the password and I don't remember it.

Hi, How can I delete my icloud account on my iphone? I don't have that email address I was using before anymore and I already tried deleting the account but it is asking for the password and I don't remember it.

Hi ale.vica,
You need to go to Manage your Apple ID, https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/, and sign in with your current Apple ID and password and do the following:
1.     Edit your current Apple ID and change it back to the ID which is displaying for your iCloud account. You do not need to verify it - this is only a temporary change
2.     Go into Settings>iCloud on your device and delete the iCloud account. Use your current password when your are prompted for a password
3.     Once the old iCloud account is deleted, go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your ID back to the current one
4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your current ID and password
That should take care of your issue!
Cheers,
GB

I got a new iPhone and i am trying to buy songs but when I go to buy a song on iTunes it says I have to answer my security questions and I don't remember the answers. I pressed where it says for them to email you your answers but I haven't gotten an email

I got a new iPhone and i am trying to buy songs but when I go to buy a song on iTunes it says I have to answer my security questions and I don't remember the answers. I pressed where it says for them to email you your answers but I haven't gotten an email. Is there another way to change or get the answers for the security questions?

If the email hasn't arrived after a few hours and isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

So it seems from reading the COMMAND manual that my first issue is that I used a 16GB SD card, and the manual says it will only recogize up to a 2GB SD card. I did use my MB Air's SD card slot and crated a folder and dragged the music files to it, then to the card. So I am going to get a 2GB card and try that next. Otherwise just stick with the iPOD connected. At least that is 8GB

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTunes. If the iPod asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode or if you do not have the syncing computer, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Hello ZarthasOne,
Snapfish.com and eprintcenter.com are connected, so it may be that you have a snapfish.com account that you do not remember having. If you go to snapfish.com and try to log in it will give you an option that says forgot password. Snapfish will send you a temorary password. Log into snapfish.com with the temorary password and it will let you reset the password to something that you can remember easily. You will then use the email and password you used to log into snapfish.com to log into eprintcenter.com
