I changed my ID due to an email accessibility issue and I lost access to all my purchased music for the last few years. Been browsing through the support area and it seems like everyone is saying I will have to rebuy everything. Is this really true?

Apple has to be more user friendly than to let something like this happen, right?
Did you change the ID, or did you create a new Apple ID? If you had simply changed the ID then what I suggested above should work as the ID itself is the same (even though the name of the ID - the address - has changed).
However if you created a new ID, logged in with that, and purchased items on it, then you have two separate IDs each with purchased associated with them. You say that you can't log in to the original account with the 'alternate' email - have you tried logging in with the original email address? It doesn't matter if it doesn't actually work to receive mail, as far as logging in is concerned it's just a text string.

I have a 1st Gen, MacBook Pro from 2006. For the last few years I've had to us my power adaptor as my battery no longer works, and shuts down after 30 seconds it. Now my power adaptor looks like it's coming to an end. Even though it's securely fitted, it often switches off.
I am planning on buying a new MacBook Pro later this year, but for the meantime I'm not sure if I should buy a new power adaptor, or if this is a problem with my MacBook Pro. Also does anyone know where I can buy a battery in the UK for 1st Gen MacBook Pro.OWC has batteries for 1,1 generation MacBook Pros and they ship internationally - http://eshop.macsales.com/.
Your best bet for a power adapter is to get one from Apple. Third-party adapters just don't seem to be reliable (or safe). You can also buy a replacement battery directly from Apple, of course, but they're a bit more expensive.
Good luck,

I just got the iPhone 5s, I have had a 4 for the last few years, my husband uses a galaxy. I have never had issues with any of our phones connecting to the cars Bluetooth until this one sometimes it will connect and sometimes it won't. I drive a gm car. A friend of mine drives an Acura and said she is also having the same problem? I have to connect the phone every time I get in the car.
Turn Off BT on your Phone & ReBoot..
Delete the phone from the vehicles memory..
Restart the Vehicle & go thro' the Pair set up.......... -
I have a license for Creative Suite CS3 and bought an upgrade for CS5 a few years later. Would the original serial number for CS3 be the same for my CS5 version?
No... if you do not have CS3 installed, you will enter your CS3 serial number when asked for proof of a qualifying product... and then you will enter your different CS5 serial number... every version, new or upgrade, has a unique serial number

As a continuation above, who are the people who have been praising Apple to the heavens? For those of us who aren't tech-savvy, Apple totally blows. There is next to nothing intuitive about their products and they seem giddy about giving their customers extra steps for everything. Why can't I sync my iPhone seamlessly? Why do I always run the risk of deleting my music when I want to sync? Why are there so many steps in creating ringtones? Why does the right-click on the mouse have so few options? Why do I have to click upwards of twenty times on desktop icons to get the file to emerge? Again, I'm not a techie but it seems that Apple is made for people with master's degrees in software programming. I've spent a small fortune on Apple products because Microsoft has become a lumbering dinosaur populated by zit-covered nerds with no concept of how the general public works. Do I go back, especially with that abortion, Windows 8? Or do I wait for the next iteration since Microsoft can only create a decent product with every other release?
I'd like to know what others think. Granted, I'm upset right now, but I've been getting more and more frustrated with Apple. We need a third company out there, kinda like a third political party.why do i even bother posting on this.. i just got a correct response from the help team. yes i can do something about it. get a new processor, exchange, sell or replace. that's the answer i was looking for.
i CAN do something about it, just like i could with my windows laptop, iphone and old ipod. It's sorted.
I got the response I was looking for. It's not an issue. New models come out all the time, i agree, but i have exchanged and sorted this out every time, like my iphone 4 to the 4S. and an apple advisor helped me with this.
My question was a genuine question - and funnily enough - the Apple helpline thought it was too.

MY iPhone4 is connected to wi-fi, and all is fine at home. When i leave home, i do not get any of my whatsapp messages. When i return home, i get all the messages than was send during the day. Why does my phone not use the cellular network to get my whatsapp messages as my Nokia N8 did?
This is my first iPhone, so i am having some troubles setting everything up!Please make sure that you are connected to the internet. There sould be a "3G or LTE or 4G or E symbol on the top left corner of the screen, if data is available to you.
Whatsapp uses data services to send and receive messages. You need to be connected to the internet for that. -

Why do I have to keep putting my password in to iPad in the last few days for no reason
Over the last few days, every time I go to use my iPad 2 it asks me to put in my password. It did this over Xmas and I cleared out a lot of my storage and it seemed to stop. I have loads of space on device and in cloud and it keeps doing it. Is anyone else having same problem and what's causing it? It's really annoying
It's often hard to determine the cause of the usage rights no longer valid. It happens when some sort of change is made other than those that are allowed. It can be due to font problems and other problems that Acrobat attempts to automatically fix.
Adobe specifically prevent you from automating the process of extending documents with Acrobat. -
hello, why is all of my music on my iphone but only a few songs on my itunes on my laptop? it seems like its not updating on my laptop because it still says i have credit and i know i that there isnt any please help thanks
If they are iTunes purchases that you bought on your phone then have you copied them over from it to your computer's iTunes ? If that is the computer that you sync the phone to then you should be able to copy them over by connecting it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. Or (depending upon what country that you are in) you might be able to redownload them directly on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.
In terms of your account's balance, have you tried logging out of your account on your computer (Store > Sign Out menu option) and then logging back in (it will change to a Store > Sign In option) and seeing if your balance changes ? -
Burning CD issues *it seems like everyone else too* Error Number 4280
Has anyone figured out what to do with this burning CD's issue that it seems like everyone is having? Now I'm gettng "Error 4280" and I've NEVER had any problems before! It all of a sudden just started, and I JUST want to burn a couple of CD's! I'm not sure what version of iTunes I'm on, but I think the newest one, and now I'm having nothing but trouble. I'm worried about losing my library too and don't know about un-installing and re-installing either. Are they working on this? Does anyone know? I don't know if I even want to purchase any new music at this point ...
Thanks for any advice!Nope, didn't work, it was already on "Audio CD", even tried buying some new CD's specifically made for music. iTunes knows that have a huge problem with this and they don't care. How dare they just ignore the fact that they screwed up with the new upgrade and not respond at all to this situation. There is honestly nothing else I can think of to do to be able to burn CD's *not to mention that I waste a CD everytime I try, because someone said not to use cd-rw*. I ran all the diagnostics and it said everything as fine. IT'S ITUNES ITSELF.
Thanks for trying to help, I appreciate any suggestions.
Once again, if anyone can think of anything at all that might be causing this problem, please let me know ...

Got a MacBook Air 128 flash storage like a month ago and in the last few days I have gon into the "get info" it says there that I have 160 GB avalibile , dos anyone know what could be going on with my Mac?
This issue can be caused by a corrupt local snapshot index. The procedure below will temporarily disable local snapshots and force the index to be rebuilt.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo tmutil disablelocal
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
To re-enable:
sudo tmutil enablelocal -
The screen resolution in 1920x1200 dropped on my MacBook Pro 17". Seems like I have not the same pixels. There are also vertical, thin lines on the screen. Makes the screen look milky. Anybody knows what's going on and how to fix it?
Take it to an Apple Store or other service provider for testing.
