  • I am giving my old laptop to my father- how do i "reset it" without erasing all of the software i have put on it.  currently he gets all of my email etc??

    I am giving my old macbook pro to my father.  i don't want to run the restore disc because of extra software i have added over the years.  I need to figure out how to "reset it" so that he gets his email- i guess to match his imac..... he currently is getting my email.  Our common goal is to somehow link our 4 computers (his imac + mac book pro) and my Imac and macbook pro for ease of sharing info and grandchild pictures (the most important part!!).  we are both technologically challenged- and we are 250 miles apart~!!  We need help!!  I am currently at his house and hope that with info from this forum- while we are together- we may be able to get this figured out.  i can access this forum and read it (since he wont be able to find his glasses) and he will be able to do the technical stuff !!!  Thanks for any assistance anyone can provide!!

    Hi Elaine
    You can set up a new user account for him - and delete your old account - without affecting any installed software.
    Go to System Preferences, then Accounts (called Users and Groups if you have OS X 10.7 installed).
    Use the "+" button and add a new account for your father. I'd recommend that you make it a Standard account (doesn't have administrator privileges). Make sure you (or he) writes down the user name and password that you set up.
    If you've already transferred any files you need (documents, pictures, movies, etc), you should delete your old account and set up a new, blank, admin account. First use the Accounts preferences to create a new admin user. Then log out, log in as that new user, and use the same preference window to delete your old account.
    Again log out, log in as your father's user, and set up Mail with his email details. Make sure it's correctly sending and receiving email. I strongly recommend, if he has a mail account that supports IMAP, to use the IMAP server, so that any mail he reads on one computer will be marked as read on the other computer.
    I'm not sure what plan you have to share photos? There are several online sharing sites (Picasa, etc), but iCloud - for now - doesn't have a photo sharing feature. What other info did you want to share?

  • I have changed the email address related to my Apple ID.However the old email address has stayed on my old Ipad and I cloud.How do I change this as I can't remember the password.

    Can anyone help with this please ?
    When I try to retive the password using the old email address I don't get an email....
    thanks

    Hey lotuselise1968,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource may help to resolve your issue:
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    iCloud
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    - If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    - If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
              1. Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
              2. Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    I am going to buy a new ipad and give my old ipad to my daughter - how do I break the connection from the old ipad and my Apple account so she does not use my icloud and can buy her own apps, etc?

    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. This will not remove any third-party apps, just the settings. If you wish to restore to "as new," then:
    iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (or if You Forget Your Passcode)
    If you need to restore your device or if you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
             option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
             necessary to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
              You will be prompted to Restore as New or Restore from a Backup. Choose the first option.

    I can't delete apps on my iPad does anybody knows how to fix it. Also I can't open any iWork apps ,they open but won't show anything.

    If the whole iPad freezes then something else is going on. Try this next. Close all apps in the recents tray and restart your iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • I have an iPad, four years old and still going strong.  I want to upgrade to a newer iOS 8 iPad.  If I do this, will I lose all my purchases on the old iPad?  If not, how do I transfer my purchases?

    Hi,  If I buy a new iPad, iOS 8, will I lose all my purchases that are on my 4 year old iPad, iOS 5.5.1?  If not, how do I keep them?

    Follow the instructions here or here; using the first set of instructions then requires syncing the second device with the iTunes library containing the content.

  • Gave my old iPad to my wife - how do I switch the Apple ID associated with that iPad from mine to my wife's?

    I bought a new iPad and gave my old iPad to my wife. Every time she goes to buy an app or song it pops up with my Apple ID. We changed it to her Apple ID in the settings/iTunes & App Store. That made it so her ID came up when making purchases, but her iPad is still associated with my ID. For example, her iPad still shows up as one of my devices in the Find My iPhone app. Is there any way to change this other than resetting the iPad to factory, setting up under her ID and reinstalling everything?  Thanks in advance for your help.

  • I want to switch my new iPad to my account, email etc and put the old iPad under my husbands account, email etc.  How do I do that?

    i just bought the new iPad and want to change the older iPad to my husband and have it use his email account, name and other apps and put the new iPad under my email, accounts etc.

    Sync and backup your old iPad one last time and then connect the new iPad to iTunes and you will be given the option to set up as new or restore from the backup of the old iPad. Choose the restore from the backup option. After the iPad restores, follow that with a sync with iTunes.
    You can erase the old iPad by going to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. Then your husband can set it up as a new device and sync with his own iTunes library or content.
