I am trying to change my secondary icloud to become my primary account.  When I try I keep getting a message to first delete my icloud from internet accounts then log back in.  I just cannot seem to figure out how to do this.  Any ideas?

I am trying to change my secondary icloud to my primary icloud.  I've read several posts but can't seem to get any of those to work.  It keeps telling me to change this I need to delete my icloud from internet accounts and sign back in.  How do I do this though?  When I go onto internet accounts, I don't see where I can manage this.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

To change a secondary account you have to delete/sign out of both accounts.   After doing so, you can sign back in with the secondary account ID in System Preferences>iCloud and it will become the primary account.  To delete an account from System Preferences>Internet Accounts, select it on the left sidebar, then click the "-" icon at the bottom to delete it.

    I have a similar problem: I switched from mac mail to Outlook 2011 as the default client, and want to switch back. Mailto links (eg from browser etc) default to Mail.  However, when I try to email a Word document as an attachment, it continues to open Outlook.  Outlook has a button in its prefs for making it the default client, but I don't see a way to turn this pref off in either Outlook or in Word.  

  • Photostream Issue - I have had several phones over the years all backing up via iCloud/Photostream. It seems that the oldest of my photos and videos are simply gone and I cannot seem to figure out how to get access to them. Why is this happening?

    Photostream Issue - I have had several phones over the years all backing up via iCloud/Photostream. It seems that the oldest of my photos and videos are simply gone and I cannot seem to figure out how to get access to them. Why is this happening? Is there anything I can do to get them back? I'm freaked out by the thought that I am paying for what I thought was a safe place for my photos to be stored and accessed later but now see that there are nearly 500 pictures/videos gone from my photostream folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. - Michael

    Hi newmarket,
    Photo Stream is not a respository for archiving photos. It is a cloud storage device that will store the last month or last 1000 photos taken by any device on the same Apple ID, and then will "share" those photos with all other devices that have Photo Stream turned on,and that are logged onto the same Apple ID.
    iCloud backups will contain all of the photos that were on your camera roll the last time you backed up your device.
    If you have photos outside of the Photo Stream parameters, and they are not all on your current camera roll, then you have no way to retrieve them unless you have imported them to the computer you sync with or have uploaded them to some other cloud service like DropBox.
    Sorry,

  • I want to download my itunes library to my shuffle. can't seem to figure out how to do this. can you help me?

    I want to download my itunes library to my shuffle. Can't seem to figure out how to do this. Can anybody help?

    You probably need to set up automatic syncing.  Select the shuffle in iTunes.  You see a row of "tabs" (buttons) starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This is the iPod's Music tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the shuffle.
    Check the box for Sync Music.  If your iTunes music library is small enough to fit on the shuffle, you can choose to sync Entire music library.  Then click Apply.
    Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres, then select (checkmark) the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres that you want on the shuffle, from the lists below.
    Here's one convenient way to set it up.  In your iTunes library, create a new regular playlist; call it something like "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want).  From your iTunes music library, load that iPod Songs playlist with ALL the songs you want on the shuffle.  On the shuffle's Music tab, find and checkmark that iPod Songs playlist (under Playlists).  When you click Apply, those songs sync to the shuffle.  Going forward, to update songs on the shuffle, just update that iPod Songs playlist in iTunes (add and/or remove songs) and then connect your shuffle.  iTunes automatically updates the shuffle with the same changes.  If the iPod is already connected, click the Sync button to update the iPod.
    If you have any specific question, please post back.

  • I cannot seem to figure out how to download ios5 to my iphone4

    I am unable to figure out how to download ios 5. I cannot manually do it from my phone and I cannot seem to figure how where/how to do it from the apple website...please help!!

    Plug the phone in. Start iTunes (the program, not a web site). Click on the phone in the left pane. Click on "Check For Updates" in the pane on the right.
    You may need to install the newest version of iTunes if you haven't updated in a while. If you're using a Mac you need to be running OS X 10.5.8 or higher.
    If you have an iPhone 3G, you can NOT install iOS 5. It requires a 3Gs, 4 or 4S.

  • I use to drag and drop an web address into a link toolbar, can't seem to figure out how to do this...?

    I just upgraded to Windows 7 and with it I got the latest Firefox. There is nothing like learning 2 things at one time. On my old XP and 3.? all I have to do was drag and drop a web address into a link toolbar. Saving all my frequent visited or just sights I want quick access to, to a toolbar quick button. I have been playing with this for days and decided to try this Forum. I did find the Bookmark toolbar, but cant seem to figure out what is if for or if you can drop into it. When I right click it and Customize, it shows me add on buttons, but nothing to do with web addresses or alike...
    Bottom line; I want to be able to drag and drop a web address into a toolbar for recall latter and be able to edit the address with a right click at a latter date in necessary...
    Thanks, Mike

    You can drag and drop the favicon also known as the [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Site+Identity+Button site identity button], at the left hand edge of the location bar onto a toolbar to bookmark the site.

  • Can anyone tell me how to use the loops and backing tracks with a single guitar input? I can't seem to figure out how to set this up

    I am trying to configure Mainstage to input my own guitar and add a backing track from the library or a loop but, I can figure out how to open or add the tracks I've downloaded. Any help would be great

    did you try the PlayBack preset/template?
    once you open the PlayBack plug-in you just load the tracks from the plug-in's menu.

  • I have the Ai trial and i cannot seem to figure out how to do a gradient with colour... is it just not possible with the trial version or what?

    Topic.

    Hi there!
    If you want to do a gradient with colors other than the standard BW, you just have to go into the gradient window and double click on one of the markers on the color slider. A color menu should pop up; click on the tiny button in the top right of that menu and change your color mode to RGB. Then you can select your color from there.
    Hope this helps!

    Scroll down to "Update your device using iTunes" here:

    If that doesn't work, you should restore your iPhone as described here.  Note you may have to try to get into the restore state more than once to succeed.

  • I cannot seem to figure out how to export the pictures I have worked on. I create a collection and when I export them they go to "my pictures" as the originals --NOT the cropped and edited versions. Help!!!

    How to export you pictures after they have been edited?

    Are you sure you are looking at the exported photos and not the original photos, when you say you don't see the cropping and editing?
    If so, then you are probably exporting with Image Format set to "Original" and you probably want to set it to JPG or TIF

  • I am running OS 10.5.8 along with ipoto 6. i can't seem to figure out how to upgrade. i can't upgrade to 11 but what can i do??

    i need to upgrade my iphoto on my intel based imac. running 10.5.8. can't seem to figure out how to upgrade this iphoto. i also have a new macbook on which this version of iphoto won't open. the macbook is running 10.6.7. what can i do to run iphoto on both machines??

    iLife 11 and iPhoto 9 require  OS X10.6.3 as a minimum.  So you will need to upgrade your iMac to Leopard or Snow Leopard and then purchase iPhoto 11 from the App Store.  If you can find a copy of iLife 11 somewhere you'll get all of the latest iApps.
    You're new MBP should be running iPhoto 11 and the other iLIfe 11 apps.

  • So iCal won't sync as I've had to change my gmail password.  Anyone figured out how to fix this?

    So iCal won't sync now as I've had to change my gmail password.  Anyone figured out how to fix this?

    Yes, I go to Settings>Mail>Gmail. I've deleted the old Gmail account and added it back with the new password. I've also deleted the account, shut down the iPad and iPhone and then re-add the Gmail account with the new password and it still doesn't work for either device. The error messages I get are:
    For the iPad: Cannot Connect Using SSL
    For the iPhone: The user name or password for "imap.gmail.com" is incorrect.

  • I am using numbers in the new iWork. Just bought it 10 days back. I am not able to figure out how to add serial umbers from 1 to 100( for example) also i need to freeze the top header like in windows so that we can browse down without the heading going of

    i am using numbers in the new iWork. Just bought it 10 days back. I am not able to figure out how to add serial umbers from 1 to 100( for example) also i need to freeze the top header like in windows so that we can browse down without the heading going off. Can some one help?

    Hi Jay,
    Be aware that "Freeze Header Rows" and "Freeze Header Columns" apply only to rows and columns that are Header rows or Header columns. You can have up to five Header rows, Five Header Columns (and five Footer rows) on a Numbers Table.
    "Header rows" is a special designation. Besides being able to be frozen, Header and Footer rows are not included in formulas referencing whole columns, making it possible to place formulas such as =SUM(B) at the top (or bottom) of column B without causing a self-reference error, These designated rows are also not included in sorts of the rows in a table.

    Barry
