HT4864 My old MobileMe account is not accepting any of my passwords to get in and manually change my account to iCloud...how do I find out why or what password works? It won't give me a choice to change my password either. Help!

My now old MobileMe is not accepting my password, so I can't get in to manually change my account to iCloud on my 10.6.8. It doesn't give me the option to reset my password...I'm just denied access...HELP!

Look up your old and forgotten Apple ID

When starting up after a erase/reinstall of Mac OS X 10.6 it will not accept any of my passwords/names

when starting up after a erase/reinstall of Mac OS X 10.6 it will not accept any of my passwords/names, I had just entered my info and clicked on "continue", the cube began to turn and froze, a translucent screen came over the whole window and request that I restart the computer, after doing so, I got the start up sound and a message saying that OS X was starting up and then the sign in window, but when I entered my info it kept shaking/rejecting it, only thing I can think is that could I have possibly entered my password wrong twice, don't know, I'm still scratching my head.

Do it again, I'm afraid. Be sure you set up the initial admin account with a proper password you can remember - all lowercase letters and numbers. No special characters or spaces except for the "_" underline character.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

How to I find out the photos SIZE in inches. It will give the the resolution

How to I find out the photos SIZE in inches. It will give the the resolution of the image and the file size.

In iPhoto, images don't have a size in inches until you use them. Until then it is just the pixel size. If you know the pixel size and resolution you calculate it this way:
If the image size is 5184 x 3486 (like my Canon T3i, you divide the size in pixels by the resolution in pixels per inch to get the actual length, so for some common resolutions:
Res Width Height
--         5184     3486
300      17.3      22.6
220       23.6     15.8
72          72       48.4
So, as you can see, iPhoto is probably correct in ignoring file size for most recent digital cameras. There is plenty of resolution for almost any size you want to print.

Old MobileMe account to iCloud?

Hello there! I used to have earlier MobileMe account and it was a different accout than my iTunes username (@mac.com). When MobileMe was closed I tried to transfer that account to my normal [email protected] account which I'm using with iTunes, iTunes Store and now also with iCloud (mobileme was [email protected]). I tried to contact Apple to have this bigger storage in iCloud because I had paid full amount of using MobileMe. But I couldn't merge there two accounts.
Does anybody know is it still possible to "join" an old MobileMe account information to iCloud account? I would like to have a bigger iCloud storage.
cheers,
-Jere

I'm afraid you can't merge two accounts. You did migrate your MobileMe account before 1 August? You can add it into your Mac in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars to be the 'secondary account' so that the email and calendars and contacts syncing can run alongside the primary account (though you can't use PhotoStream with it).
Or you could use it as your primary account if you haven't gone too far in putting data on the present one - there's no problem about having one ID for iTunes and another for iCloud: or swop them over and use your present iCloud ID as the secondary account and the ex-MobileMe one as the main account.

I have multiple ipods on my account...how do I find out which one purchased over $250 worth of games?

I have multiple ipods on my account (kids) and one or more of them purchased over $250 worth of games. I need to know which child(ren) did this so they can pay accordingly. The accout only tells what day they were purchased but doesn't say which ipod purchased. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It could be:
iTunes Store & Mac App Store: About credit-card authorization holds
You could contact itunes support and ask. Click Support at the top if this page, then click the link under Contact Us

How can I find out why update reader11.07 will not load on mavericks?

Is there an Adobe tech out there who can tell me why? or another user having the same issue?

I googled my problem and found myself at some place with a link
This was not an Adobe Forum.
I clicked the link (legitimate) and the update was perfect.
When I first went to adobe to update , it failed. Gave me some error thing.[ I never update from a popup.]
Only from the real website. I tried to get help from chat and they referred me to the forum where I guess you found my question.
I hope this helps someone. All is good now.

I keep on getting an error message that reads uninstal javascript set, how do I find out how to do this? This does not happen when I use IE for broswer.

This may have happened when Firefox was updating to version 4 it was trying to connect forever and I x'ed out of the update screen. But I am not sure that this caused the problem. I have reinstalled Java, but this did not help. I tried to reset the computer do an older date, and the system will not let me reset.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

HT1349 How do I find my old mobileme account?

How do I find/access my old mobileme account?

Mobile closed in August. The contents of your iDisk have been deleted and are not recoverable by any means unless you were running 'iDisk Syncing' and still have the sparseimage in (user)/Library/FileSync.
You can sign into iCloud in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud and reactivate your MobileMe email address. If you migrated your account before 1 August this will give you access to your previously stored emails; if you did not migrate then these have also been deleted.

Can I move storage purchased under old MobileMe account to my AppleID account?

Can I transfer the extra storage purchased on my old MobileMe account to my AppleID account (which is my primary account for iCloud)? If not, can I get a refund for the MobileMe storage to use toward my AppleID account?

This can't be done: and you aren't due for a refund because your MobileMe account was extended for free from the date of its last renewal coming due up to the service closing in July, so you haven't been paying for it.
As an ex-MobileMe user your migrated iCloud account (signed into with your ex-MobileMe address) storage has been extended by 20GB for free but only until the end of September - at that time it will revert to 5GB unless you purchase additional storage.

HT5527 I did not move my Mobileme account to iCloud. How can I get off the iCloud mailing list?

I did not move my Mobileme account to iCloud. How can I get off the iCloud mailing list?

If you migrated your MobileMe account before 1 August you should have signed into System Preferences>iCloud with it, and you would be able to see your calendars, bookmarks and emails on the iCloud website. Is this the case? Did you sign into iCloud with your @me.com address?
If you did not migrate your MobileMe account you can no longer do so.
If you did migrate, did you do so from a full MobileMe account or from a Family Pack sub-account? the latter did not get the complimentary storage (because their iDisks were only 5GB anyway).
If you had a full MobileMe account, check on your Mac - System Preferences>iCloud - and see whether that shows the upgrade. If it doesn't, you probably need to contact Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support (MobileMe Support is no longer available) and you may be asked to pay a fee: in this case you should ask them to deal with it without cost (and hope they agree).
Note that you haven't paid anything for your MobileMe storage since your first renewal date after 6 June 2011, and iCloud costs nothing unless you specifically choose to upgrade the storage. Note also the iCloud storage is not general file storage in the manner of the iDisk but is restricted to iOS device Backup, Mail, Photo Journal and Documents.

How I can see what accounts I created with my family pack in my old mobileme account?

Any ideas how I can see what accounts I created with my family pack in my old mobileme account?
i updated it when we need to migrate and all emails are active and being used.
i need to update an email address. we use this for my personal company and need to keep the email in
the same format so it matches the others in the company. i dont see it anywhere in my account now.
i am using a .mac format. thanks.

In order to see which devices are authorized on your account:
Open iTunes
Click Store
Click Account
Click View Account
Enter your password
Look in the second section iTunes in the Cloud
To the far right you'll see Manage Devices
Once it's clicked you will see all of the devices currently authorized in iTunes/on your account
I was going to say, "Hope this helps," but based on the above, I'm pretty sure it did!
Thanks guys...

2 users on the same old mobileme account, 1 photostream?

My old mobileme account had 2 users, [email protected] and [email protected] Is there anyway I can see pics from both users at the same time in photostream? There was only 1 account, is this a limitation? Any work-arounds?

Usually you need to move items to the Shared Folder within the individual user account. That shared folder is called "Public" within the Home folder. Just drag to that location and the other person will be able to get to the files you are try to share between each other.

I just bought a new iMAC. I want to change the password, but the system is not accepting any old passwords. How do I reset this, so that I can set a password?

I just bought a new iMAC. I want to set a password. But, the system seems to think I already have one set, and I don't know what it is. How do I reset this feature, so that I can set a password, without knowing the current password?

Have you yet, during setting up the new iMac, transferred old data and settings from an external hard drive or another computer? If so, then your computer obtained its current set Password from that tranfer, so you would have to determine what that Password was in the old system. If you have Not transferred any information that way, then the installation and/or setup seem to have corrupted somehow since it hasn't yet received a new system Password selection from you.
At this point, if you can, you can reboot while holding down the Command - R keys to boot into the Mountain Lion Recovery Partition. There you can select to "Reinstall Mountain Lion from the Internet". This will overwrite your current installation and any problems that have occured and give you a fresh install that hopefullywill allow you to set up without problems.

Click on the More Info button, then go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the MobileMe account. Next to go the Sustem/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe. That will stop those messages.
