HT5621 How do i delete an icloud account and set up a new account with icloud if i dont no the old accounts password
How do i delete an icloud account to set up a new icloud account if you dont know the old accounts password
Welcome to the Apple community Amber
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Hi My old computer broke down. I could not transfer anything across to my new PC. Unfortunately I forgot my old i-Tunes account and set up a new one with the new PC. However, I cannot now synch my music on my i-pod to my new PC - how can I do this?
I'm a bit of a technophobe so any help gratefully received thanksIt has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use this to put eveything back.

my old laptop is not working. How do I get my itunes account and library on my new computer with out wiping out my ibrary?
Hi 1Donald,
To answer your question, ''"How can my new desktop have a KEY when it is not even part of the sync yet?"''
You need to get the key from the new device and enter it into the old device. So on the old device select "Pair a device" and the place to enter the key will show up.
I hope this helps. -

How do i get my ical on my phone to my new mac with icloud
I've got my ical all set up on my phone and synched with my computer at work. I recently got another computer for home, a used mac book and I want then ical info to be on there. When I hook up to itunes it tells me that I'm already synching with iCloud and I might get duplicate info, but I'm not. I created one calendar with one event hoping the synch would ask if I want to merge the info, but it doesn't. Help!
Do you have a backup copy of the contents of your old hard drive? If so you will need the Domain.sites2 file that's located in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Place it into the same folder on your new hard drive and you're ready to go.
If you don't have a copy of that domain file you will have to rebuild your sites from scratch. Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the creation of the new site.

All I want to do is delete the current web site and start from scratch. What do I need to delete to start all over? I want to reset up the web services and wiki sites to integrate with podcast producer. any help would be appreciated.How did you delete your sites?
You'll want to use the 'Server Admin' tool.

How to remove admin account and set up a new one?
Hello,
I have a new imac and would like to clean off my old one to give it to my son, leaving the apps on it that he wants. I think I create an account in his name, make it the administrator, then delete mine, or basically I delete my user info, so all my pictures and music are gone, etc. Am I stating this process correctly?
Thanks for any guidance you can give me.

Erasing disks securely
Start up from your install disc, go to Disk Utility and select the disk and click erase - to securely erase data click Security Options and Erase Free Space which will entirely wipe your disk, overwriting it with zeros so that no data is recoverable. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8445.html

hello there i have been givin a i pod classic from my brother and want to know can i set up a apple acount even if i dont have his account details
The procedure is Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>Add another email address. The email address has to be a valid working email address, obviously. Apple should verify the email address and you have to go to the inbox of that email account, read the verification email from Apple and follow the inductions in the email in order to complete the verification. Then you go back to the settings, uncheck your email address and check the new email address to be used as the contact email address.

Just to clarify: I purchased some of my older music in iTunes with an account that got deleted. I cannot recover or use this old account. I transferred music from my old iTunes to a new computer and that new iTunes on the new computer is asking me to sign into the old account to authorize the music. So, is there another way to transfer this music to my new iTunes? I'm using a USB thumb drive to transfer the music. Also, music that was purchased with my current account tranfers just fine.

could you please get back to me as soon as possible , there is an update I have been anticipating for a about two months now and it is coming very soon.
This is a user to user forum; there is no one from Apple here to get back to you. Apps and music are forever associated with the Apple ID account they were purchased with. There is no way to transfer them to a different account. That is why Apple lets you change the email address associated with your account without having to get a new account. If you didn't do this, but instead got a completely new account, you are out of luck. You can still go back to the old account and just get a new email address for it.

Hi - how do i transfer my music library from an old laptop to a new laptop?? BTW - i dont have the OLD laptop anymore - am i screwed??
You cannot transfer anything from a device which you do not have, because you do not have it.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
