  • Changed user name and now can't sign in -HELP!

    I just wanted to change my user name, so I went to accounts and just changed that, not the password or anything else...I restarted my computer and now I can't sign in with the new OR the old...what can I do?

    I followed these steps:
    Resetting the original administrator account password
    Follow these steps to reset a password when there is only one administrator account on the computer, or if the original administrator account (of several) needs a password reset. "Original" administrator account refers to the one that was created immediately after installing Mac OS X. If the original administrator password is known, the original administrator user may reset the passwords of other administrator accounts using the steps described above.
    Start up from a Mac OS X Install CD (one whose version is closest the the version of Mac OS X installed). You should first disable Open Firmware password protection, if it is enabled. Hold the C key as the computer starts.
    Choose Reset Password from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger). Tip: If you don't see this menu or menu choice, you're probably not started from the CD yet.
    Select your Mac OS X hard disk volume.
    Set the user name of your original administrator account.
    Important: Do not select "System Administrator (root)". This is actually a reference to the root user. Do not confuse it with a normal administrator account.
    Enter a new password.
    Click Save.

  • Changed email address now apps won't update

    I changed my email address with iTunes store and in the Store settings on my Touch (1st Gen, software 3.1.3). Everything syncs OK, but I can't update my apps because the pop-up account verification box on my Touch still contains my old email address and it can't be changed. In the iTunes store in shows that I have updates available, but when I click to view them is says that I have none.
    I've tried the suggestion at this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2543640&tstart=45
    without any success. I have reset my iPod without success.
    Any help appreciated

    iTunes Store Customer Support eventually came up with the solution. Apparently you can't update your iTunes Store account using MobileMe ID. I tried that but the process created a new account instead, without my knowledge, using my advised change of email address as the account name. I signed in to the iTunes Store with this newly created account and the updates proceeded without a problem. I also changed the Store settings in my iPod to the new account, and I can now update my apps that way as well. My only problem now is that I have at least 5 iTunes Store accounts, perhaps more, and they cannot be merged. Hmmmm ...

  • IPod Touch (2nd Gen) not charging properly and apps won't update

    Hi, I'm not really sure if or how these problems can be linked, but I thought I'd put them together just in case...
    My first problem is that my apps aren't updating properly.  When I try to apply the updates, I get the "waiting" come up but then it just resets having done nothing, sometimes needing me to switch my iPod right off and on again before I can use the app again.  I tried connecting my iPod up to my computer to apply the updates through iTunes and it seemed to work, but none of them actually updated.
    Having connected to iTunes and tried to sync everything, I also got an error message saying that the apps couldn't be synched due to not being able to determine what apps were on my iPod.  However, they were all sitting there looking like they had synched.
    The second part of the problem is that my iPod doesn't seem to be charging properly anymore.  The battery doesn't seem to be lasting as long as it should and I've noticed that sometimes when I'm charging it, I get the symbol come up that means it's running from the mains, when it should actually still be the symbol to show it's currenty charging, so I'm wondering if the problem is that it's not charging properly some of the time rather than the charge isn't lasting long enough.
    If anyone's got any ideas how to resolve any of this I'd really appreciate it
    Thank you

  • Apps won't install, please help.

    I have an iMac which I use for my small business, for a particular software I had to fragment the disk and run Windows and after a few months I removed windows and now I have OSX 10.6.8. My problem is that the apps that I bought via my second iMac are not being installed on first iMac. Apps show up in the purchase history and and when I click on them, install button shows up as well but when I click to install, it says I need OSX 10.7 or higher. Now I tried regular software update and looks like 10.6.8 is the latest (at least automatically).
    Now my questions is, do I need to buy the OSX 10.7 or higher, is that why my mac is not upgrading above 1.6.8 via updtae option or do I ineed to manually download 10.7 and install?
    Appreciate your time and help, guys!

    To run those apps you will need to upgrade your Mac to v10.7 or later.
    See Step 1 to see if your Mac qualifies to upgarde directly to Mountain Lion v10.8 (without having to purchase v10.7 Lion  >   Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.
    is that why my mac is not upgrading above 1.6.8 via updtae option or do I ineed to manually download 10.7 and install?
    Software update is for updating your system software, not upgrading. There's a difference between updating and upgrading.
    An update would be going from 10.6.7 to 10.6.8. An upgrade is going from v10.6 Snow Leopard, v10.7 Lion, or v10.8 Mountain Lion.
    Mountain Lion can be purchased from the App Store. Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click App Store. Or click the App Store menu icon in the Dock, or lauch the App Store from your Applications folder.

  • Apps won't update.  Help?

    My Apps download, start to install and immediately stop.  It then says I still need to update the apps.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

    If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. 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.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
    If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • Getting strange messages and Logic won't open PLEASE HELP!

    I haven't opened Logic for a few weeks because I have been out of town.
    I just tried to open a project and got the message "logic pro has detected a possible conflict between one or more third party midi or audio drivers" and an empty project pops up with lines through all the plug-ins, etc...
    When I try to simply just open Logic (NOT a project) Logic simply does not open and just sits there. (The little Logic opening window stalls on the "Searching for Audio Unit Plug-ins (Apple:AUbandpass)...)
    What could be causing this?
    The only thing I have done recently on my computer that is a little out of the ordinary is drag the "Preferences" folder (User/Library/Preferences) to my desktop to try and fix another issue I was having on my computer, BUT I QUICKLY UNDID this action (with the undo function) before continuing. Could this have anything to do with my current problem? I have project I NEED to open now and I can't figure this out. PLEASE HELP!
    Message was edited by: Jack Q

    UPDATE:
    I was able to get Logic to finally open (sort of), BUT:
    When I go to the Audio Units Manager it shows ALL the audio units as crashed, or "crashed validation" under the compatibility heading.
    All the boxes are unchecked on the left. When I try to check any of them, it says in the grey window that pops up, for example:
    "validating Audio Unit AUAudioFilePlayer by Apple:
    validation result: crashed validation
    updating properties of AU AUAudioFilePlayer by Apple...done."
    THEN a window pops up stating: "The application Logic Pro has quit Unexpectedly" and this happens every time I try this.
    Also, every time I start Logic I get the same "The application Logic Pro has quit Unexpectedly" pop-up window, along with a Logic pop-up dialogue that reads: "You are using incompatible Audio Units. Dear Logic Pro user,
    you have 1 Audio Unit(s) enabled which did not pass the Apple AU validation. This may cause problems and can even crash Logic Pro or lead to data loss! Please check with the manufacturer(s) for updated versions. We recommend disabling these plug-ins in the AU Manager." with the buttons: Start AUmanager or Ignore.
    AND, even more odd, regardless of what button I choose Logic continues to open to the arrange window.
    Is there anything I can try next? I am going insane over this...

  • I have a 6gb micro and it won't work, please help

    first off, the thing worked fine for the first day! i used microsoft media player to sync some songs to it without installing the software. well, the battery died, remembering it only has a 2 hour battery life! thing is, it wouldn't charge when it was hooked up the computer, it wouldn't even recognize it, so i called customer service and after an hour of being on hold, the lady tells me to install the software and it would work fine. when i did that, guess what, it didn't! it did the same thing, it wouldn't recognize the player and the player would not charge. i would think it was the usb cord, but the battery gets really hot, but the thing just won't turn on and the computer won't recognize it! please help me!

    It's strange. How did you even manage syncing without installing the software on your computer - i mean, the computer has to recognise it before it can start processes.
    Nevertheless, here is a thread which might prove to be useful in making your player recognized: http://forums.creative.com/creativel...message.id=723

  • WRT54G - Changed user name and password; now printer won't communicate with computer

    Time Warner used remote access to get into my wrt54g system and create a new user id/password for security.  As a result, my hp printer will no longer communicate with my computer.  HP says to hook up a usb from router to printer, but there's no usb port on the wrt model I own.  Don't know whether to buy a new router or if there is a solution to this problem.  I hooked up a usb from computer to printer but it did nada...

    so meaning to say you are unable to print even if the printer is connected to the computer. If that's the case even if your printer is connected wirelessly to the network then you will still not be able to print. Make sure that the printer will be able to print first when connected to your computer.
