How can I change an old email adress on my iCloud accout to my new email (the same as on my pc), as long as my Apple ID works on my pc but not on my iPhone?

You would have to change it back to your old email address in order to turn off "Find My iPhone" on your devices. After you changed it back to your old address and deactivated "Find My iPhone" (activation lock) you could change your Apple ID to your new address again. Now it should wok on all your devices.

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 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.
You will need to show patience with the procedure and be prepared to demonstrate without question that the account belongs to you. Don’t expect access to be restored immediately and if you aren’t the owner of the Apple ID registered to the device the account won’t be reset.

There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's. Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

My husband changed the Apple ID on our computer. For some reason, iCloud has the old Apple ID and it won't let me change it. I've been locked out of my iPad twice and had to restore it because of iCloud. How do I change the Apple ID (not the password)?

In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

Open the Mac App Store on the other Mac and in the Quick Links sign into your account. See if the Mountain Lion purchase is among hidden apps in the iCloud area of your account info.

Hi, I have backed up 2 IMACs and one Mac Book Pro but for some reason, the 3rd IMAC come up with this problem: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Anthony’s iMac.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1). Why? The computer system is up to date and I have had no issue with the other computers, just this one.

When I open a file it normally opens in 12.5% stated on the header. For some reason, it now opens with 100+% on the header and is much smaller in size. How do I go back to the first option I noted? I use AP to work on blueprints for measuring so the accuracy matters. Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Are the image all the same size the % files open into a document seems to vary with the number of pixels the image being opened has. Check the Image size.

When I take my head phones out my iPhone I can't hear my music my music is so low for some reason can u explain now

When u take my headphones out my iPhone and I listening to music I can't hear my music it is so low for some reason

Have you tried the volume controls on the side of the phone?

TS1702 For some reason, the last time I plugged my phone into iTunes, my Calendar was completely erased! This is bad news, considering that I make a living planning events. I AM SCREWED IF I CANNOT FIX THIS ERROR!!!! Please help.

Tried to restore, Time Machine isn't setup because I don't have a backup disk big enough. I never thought I would say this:
I WANT MY BLACKBERRY BACK!!!!
I never had issues with the calendar on my crappy Blackberry Storm. What the crap, Apple?!?!

Have you fixed this problem yet? At the risk of being harshly snapped at like poor ED3K, I will let you know a recent experience of mine. I consider myself fairly tech saavy and I have had experience with iPhones since the original. I too recently noticed that all my calendar data was recently "erased." I had a hard time figuring out what happened...until my wife, who is NOT tech saavy told me about the Settings in iPhone with iCloud. First check your iCloud account (icloud.com/calendar) and make sure that your calendar data is all there. If so, continue with next step. Make sure that on your iPhone 4s in Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars/Calendars, the Sync is set to All Events or however time you would like synced to your iPhone from your iCloud account. This should restore your calendar events. I hope this helps. Remember, sometimes help comes from the most unexpected places. And if this doesnt help you, at least be gracious. No one is patronizing you. Good luck.

I have just purchased my first Apple computer, a MacBook Pro, running Lion (10.7.4). My wife bought her MacBook Pro six months ago. I had data from my old PC transferred to my new MacBook, but, for some reason, my superuser ID comes up as my wife.

I have just purchased a MacBook Pro. My wife's MacBook Pro is less than a year old. When I start up my new computer, it thinks I am my wife and gives me the option of logging on as my wife or as a guest user. How do I correct this misidentification? Thanks. [email protected]

This sounds like you may have migrated in Setup Assistant from her MBP?
EDIT: (Or whatever you migrated from the PC had her account data)
I also think you mean your login ID, not the Superuser, unless you've enabled root. In that case it would say "root"
Let's try it easy first. Create a new account and make it an Admin. Name it your name or whatever. This will be your account. Next login as your wife and move ehatever Documents you want from that account into /Users/Shared.
Now log back into your own account and drag the items from the Shared folder into your Documents folder.
If this works and you no longer need your wife's account on the Mac you can delete it in System Preferences > Users&Groups.

If you aren't receiving password reset emails and your security questions don't work, someone has hijacked your account.
This happened to me.
You need to use Expresslane to contact iTunes support to regain access to your account ASAP.

I cant seem to open new tabs for some reason...Can anyone help?

I got to file on top and hit new tab and nothing opens. I tried using the plus sign besides the tabs and nothing happens.

Hi Radiation Mac,
The accounts that I want to delete are hidden from the Users in Control Panel.
When I go into Finder and click on the User folder, I have two guests account (only one is visible in the Users in Control Panel) and two admin accounts (me and again, only one is visible in the Users in Control Panel). The duplicate admin account is messing up with writing/reading/permissions now and I can't figure out what to do.

HT4623 Twice I have connected my IPad to my computer and requested the upgrade to IOS 5.01 and twice I have not for some reason received the upgrade. What is going on and what am I doing wrong? I can't get some Olympic apps that require it.

I do not seem to be upgrading to IOS 5.01 correctly - twice I have connected to my computer and received notification that all current upgrades are being added but when I try to download apps that require 5.01 I am told that I do not have a system that is upgraded for this. What is the problem and how do I remedy it?

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

If I received a gifted app, how can I redownload it if my apple ID is disabled for security reasons?

My father n law gifted an app to me and I had an issue with an app that was purchased without my consent so I emailed iTunes support to see if I could get it refunded. So now all my apps under my apple Iid don't work. Is there some way I can fix it?

Did you get a response from iTunes about the refund, did the ID become disabled after you emailed iTunes? Did you enter your password incorrectly too many times or do something that would cause the ID to be disabled?
Take a look at this.

I was wondering how to access my account. I broke my old iphone and i need to get access to my old apps and pictures and songs through the web..

How to access existing itunes account.

What do you mean "through the web"?
You can re-download purchased media and apps using iTunes on your computer. You can't, of course, run the apps on your computer, but you can download them and sync them to another iOS device.
