HT5622 how do i reset my apple id on my iMac?
My Apple ID is associated with a lot of things on my iMac. I recently changed my Apple ID and haven't changed it on my iMac. But when my iMac needs my Apple ID, it automatically pulls up my old Apple ID. How do I change this on my iMac (not the internet). I need to change it inside my settings or something so that my new Apple ID comes up when I need to authorize something on my iMac.
Go to the Apple and Open System Preferences
In System Preferences choose Users & Groups
If your lock is locked you will need to click on it and use your master password to unlock it.
Click on you (the user) and on the right side of the window, you will see Apple ID: ........................... and the button Change.
Choose Change
Use the + sign to put in a new apple ID and the - sign to remove an old unused one.
Hope this helps.

I thought I knew it, but I am not able to reset the password.
If you have the Install Disc, boot from the disk while holding the c key.

How do I reset my apple id security question with out a rescue email
How do I reset my apple id security question with out a rescue email?
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

The remote app requires both to be on the same network and home sharing to be enabled, you will need the physical remote to set this up. You can purchase a replacement through Apple.
