I just set up an apple id. trying to verify my backup email. getting msg that my password and birthdate don't match the setup. Really? Ok maybe, but how do I fix this?

Why don't you just go to https://iforgot.apple.com and reset the password on the original ID?

  • Somehow my husbands apple id "jumped" to my phone.  Now I'm always asked for his password and it's not even the ID he is using.  How do I get my phone back?

    Somehow my husbands Apple ID "jumped" to my phone, or at least I'm asked for his password (and not for the ID he uses).  How do I get my phone back to my ID?

    I believe that he must have at some point logged in to your phone and installed an app that he downloaded on his account and installed that app onto your phone. When your phone attempts to update that app, it will ask for his ID.
    OR
    He might have just decided to log you out of your account and log himself in.
    Try - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1311
    It might help if you described when you're getting password (for his ID) prompts.

  • HT201240 I want to resest the administrator password but I don't remember the old password and I don't have the start up disc. Is there a way around this?

    I'm trying to install a program update and the password that I thought I set isn't working. I don't have any start-up disk and need help resetting the password.

    Here's one method to reset the password without the install disc:
    1. boot computer and hold the "apple" key and the "s" key.
    2. wait for terminal show
    3. release keys
    4. type without the quotes: "/sbin/mount -uaw"
    5. press enter
    6. type without the quotes: "rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
    7. press enter
    8. type without the quotes: "reboot"
    9. press enter
    This will let you create a new admin account when you reboot your computer.
    Also, without the discs, look at Mac OS X Tip - No Password, No Root, No CD? No Problem.
    http://www.macobserver.com/tip/2003/06/16.1.shtml
    Here is a way to get around not knowing the admin password on Macs.
    To reset your OS X password without an OS X CD you need to enter terminal and create a new admin account:
       1. Reboot
       2. Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
       3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
              * mount -uw /
              * rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
              * shutdown -h now
       4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can simply delete the old one and you’re good to go again!

  • HT4528 I have a verizon iphone 5c and I took out the SIM card just being curious and put it back in, now I can only use my phone on wifi and I can't use 4G or LTE strictly wifi. How can I fix this?

    I have a verizon iphone 5c and I took out the SIM card just being curious and put it back in, now I can only use my phone on wifi and I can't use 4G or LTE strictly wifi. How can I fix this?

    Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? If that doesn't work, try resetting the network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
    If that fails, you may possibly have damaged the SIM. Verizon will need to give you a new one.
    Best of luck.

  • I just got an iPod touch.  Now I cannot access my music on my Nano when it is connected to my computer (all the titles are in gray).  How do I fix this?

    I just got an iPod touch.  Now I cannot access my music on my Nano when it is connected to my computer (all the titles are in gray).  How do I fix this?

    That sounds like you've engaged one of the automatic syncing options for your nano.
    Plug the nano in, and go into the Device screen for the nano in itunes. Is "manually manage ..." unchecked? If so, check the box for it, and click okay. Disconnect and reconnect the nano. Is the content on the nano able to be selected in your iTunes now?

    Sorry, your only alternative is to take it in for repair. While on your way stop at a office supply store and look into a UPS. if you don't want to go to the Apple Store you can use an AASP, you can locate one in your area by clicking AASP Locator.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • Can't get Mail to work - I get the spinning wheel and Mail freezes.  I have to Force Quit it.  How do I fix this?

    Can't get Mail to work - I get the spinning wheel and Mail freezes.  I have to Force Quit Mail .  How do I fix this problem?

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
