  • I changed my Apple ID password, and now my iCloud won't let me sign in on my Mac. How do I fix this?

    I changed my password for my Apple ID yesterday for security reasons (I change all my passwords every 2 months). I can log into iCloud on the internet to check my mail and my calendar plus I was able to change my password on my iPhone so it can still sync. However, my mac keeps rejecting my new password and won't connect. So I deleted the account off my Mac, and now when I'm trying to re-add it it keeps saying "You can't sign in at this time". Is there a glitch in the system? Is anyone else having the same problem?

  • I changed my apple id email and now my phone does not recognize it for icloud.

    I changed my apple id email address and now my iphone 5s does not recognize it for icloud. It keeps asking for the old email address apple id.

    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

  • I may have deleted some system files from my computer due to my antivirus and now my imac won't start. Actually it does, and then there is a blank screeen with the apple logo and it shuts down right away. is tehre a possibility of recovering my files?

    Hello
    I was having some problems with my Imac, for a while it was slow and often disconneceted from my wifi, while this one worked perfectly (tested with other devices)
    I thoug i might have a virus, so i downloaded an antivirus (mac keeper) and started checking.
    I also did a scan of my computer using Console or something from the utilities, and then a folder popped witha  file I had canceled a while ago. I canceled the file and then my Imac continued to be slow.
    i then restarted my Imac, but when it started, the usual grey logo of Apple appeared, and then it shut down suddently.
    I tried to reboot it holding the command key and R but nothing, and then i tried holding the shift key and a bar appeared, and at half of the bar it sut itself down again.
    I think it is probably a preoblem because I may have cancelled some of the system files from a folder called "private" in the "documents" folder.
    Is there any way I can recover some of my files? maybe all of them? I hope so because I have some important files there
    Is this a thing I can do myself or do Ineed to go to a MacStore to repair it? Will I need to change HD or just to format it and reinstall? also if there is any way i can recover some of my files that would be great.
    Thanks

    P.S. problems appeared when i installed the Mavericks version.

    If MacKeeper corrupted the Recovery partition then even I underestimated its potential for damage. Garbage "cleaning" apps will cause misery but I have not found that the Recovery partition to have been affected by using MacKeeper or anything like it. I doubt that it did so, but I have learned not to underestimate the potential for such things to result in system corruption.
    Before concluding your Mac has a hardware failure, try booting OS X Internet Recovery by holding command option r on startup (three fingers). That will force your iMac to bypass the Recovery partition altogether, and convey the ability to create a new one.
    An Internet connection will be required (wired or wireless).
    At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red. If Disk Utility reports "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK" in green then you can be reasonably (though not completely) assured your hard disk is in good working order.
    Assuming the HD remains usable you can then use Disk Utility to erase it. Reinstall OS X, restore your essential software and other files, and don't reinstall the junk.

  • HT5624 i thinksomone changed my email to my i tunes and now cnnot acces my account cause the pasword has been changed too.

    I think someone hacked my Itunes account. my password wo't work and when i e-mail to rest - no email arrives.

    Hey annie2b5,
    Thanks for the question. I understand how frustrating it may be if you are unable to access your account. I imagine that the reason you are not receiving the password reset email may be due to a rescue email address setup on the account:
    When you provide a rescue email address, all future security emails, such as password resets from iForgot, will be sent to the address provided.

    You might want to check any previous email accounts you owned for the password reset email, including their Spam folders. If you continue to have issues or feel that your account is indeed compromised, please contact our Account Security Team:

  • HT2954 I changed my email address on Gmail and now my computer will not recognize the new password when I modify my account?

    I changed my email password on Gmail last night.  I then went into settings on my MAC to reflect the changes but it will not recognize it.  I double checked to ensure I had the right password and it is. I can log into my email from safari with no issues.  I have varified that all account information is correct but its still not working.  I have also lost notes and contacts.

    Keychain is no longer able to update itself when I upgrade an application...

    If Terminal doesn't scare you, you might try this line in Terminal...
    sudo mv /var/db/CodeEquivalenceDatabase /var/db/CodeEquivalenceDatabase.old
    Carefully type your admin password when asked & hit enter, as it won't be echoed, then restart the Mac.
    The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
    This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server.
    So since WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.

    Is it POP or IMAP?

  • I just changed my Apple ID to a new Email address, and now I can't login to the app store on my iPhone or iPad because the Prompt assumes my old ID. How do I modify it on my devices, or force it to prompt me for the new ID?

    I changed my Apple ID today, and now I can't log into the App store because my devices just prompt for my password, and I am not offered the opportunity to enter the new ID. HELP !

    Setting>Store>Apple ID. Tap you old ID and sign out. Sign in with the new one.

  • I want to buy an apple product (the apple track pad) but my computer is a dell and it's software is windows 7. If I bought the track pad would I be able to use it on my windows pc? And is it easy to set up?

    I want to buy an apple product (the apple track pad) but my computer is a dell and it's software is windows 7. If I bought the track pad would I be able to use it on my windows pc? And is it easy to set up?

    A quick Google turned up this suggestion.
    Have you considered the Logitech Touchpad?

  • Apple Track Pad vs. Magic Mouse?

    I have been using a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000 keyboard ever since getting my Intel iMac 24 back in late 2006.  When I got it, I also continued to use my MS Wireless Lazer 5000 mouse as well.  In mid year 2010 I got a macbook and also a Magic Mouse which I use exclusively with the laptop over using the on-board track pad. 
    Recently, I have a need to replace the lazer mouse due to mechanical problems and am wondering what sort of feedback has been coming in regarding the newer Wireless Track Pad and whether or not users still have use for the magic mouse and/or the track pad and vice versa.  I'd buy another magic mouse for the iMac as the one I currently own is set up to be used on the road in my vehicle with the laptop.  In replacing my lazer mouse I just would like to know the feedback regarding the newer track pad.  Thank you in advance!

    Thanks to everyone for their responses.
    Unfortunately, my laser mouse died, and I replaced it with the TrackPad hoping to upgrade without the need for another mouse.  Although I like most features of the trackpad, like for my MacBook, I find the need for a mouse to add to the onboard track pad. 
    Same thing applies for the iMac, the trackpad works for most applications, but I got a wireless mouse again.  So I find that I use both.
    Thanks again to everyone who responded!

  • Just purchased a Track Pad. Can I use the track pad and my mouse at the same time?

    Hello folks.  Am new to the community.  Asked a question but didn't go through.
    Have just purchased a magic track pad for my desk top iMac.  I have been using both the track pad and my mouse together.
    It froze up after several hours.  Is it ok to use both together?  I find that fine movements are better on the mouse but the other
    stuff is easier on the track pad.
    Thanks for your help.

    That is very strange..... haven't heard of that one. I guess I'd try the following: unpair them all and start over, one by one. I must say, my current mouse is not an Apple mouse - and it is USB, so it doesn't come into play in this scenario, but it is listed in the bluetooth devices and I do have the keyboard and trackpad.

  • My track pad stopped accepting clicks.  I can move the mouse but clicks will not register.  Help!!!

    My track pad stopped accepting clicks.  I can move the mouse/cursor although clicking will not register with computer.  Any suggesstions?  HELP!

    If you configure the track pad to accept a double-tap = mouse click - do you still have the problem?
    I had a similar problem with white MacBooks - the mouse button just wouldn't work anymore - got worn out or something. I think that may be why Apple went with the whole trackpad being the mouse button. I never use that though. I much prefer the double tap.

  • I changed my apple ID password and now facetime cannot verify my e-mail address.  I have tried changing my password back but still recieve the same pop up window telling me that the email could not be verified and to check my network but have wifi working

    Please help.  I changed my apple id password and now cannot use facetime and my icloud continues to prompt me for my password and I continue to give it but, I repeatedly am prompted for the password unless I cancel the icloud.  I have tried changing my password back to the password I had before and this did not work.  I have tried to use another e-mail address for facetime and had verified that e-mail address and this did not work.  I do not know how to fix this problem.  I have thought about changing my apple id but am not sure how I would be able to carry over the same credit card number to the new apple ID.  I loved my Mac book Pro because I could facetime my boyfriend while I am working away and now I cannot.  I am starting to hate Mac.

    The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

  • I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one?

    I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one? If it could be fixed, how much would it cost?

    If it is still under warranty you can call the 800 number to apple and enter the serial number and it will tell you if it is under warranty or not if not its like $30 basically for them to help or something like that it said today when i called...
    Or take it to a genius bar if you have one near?
    Or further explain what setting you are needing fixed back and im sure someone here can help you for free!

  • I changed my Apple ID password and now I can't log into iCloud

    I changed my Apple ID password and now I can't log into iCloud.  In addition I am unable to sign out or exit the iCloud System Preference page and have to force a shut down using the power off button to get rid of it.  Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

    If the Preference Pane hangs, hit comand-option-escape and force quit System Preferences to avoid having to reboot.
    In order to sign out you need the original password if you have set up 'Find My ....'. However you can't now change the password back to the original one (as you are not allowed to re-use a password).In this situation only Support can help you.
    To contact  iCloud Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
    If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.
