  • How do i restart my admin password without knowing the old one

    i just got a macbook air and wasnt paying attention to the password i used.. can anyone help me to reset the password without knowing the old one.and also that doesnt require a disk.

    Restart. Hold down cmd-r at the chime. When the Recovery partition boots, choose terminal from the Utilities menu.
    Type, resetpassword and hit return
    Select the disk and follow the instructions to reset the password.
    Note that you will not be able to recover your keychain. You'll have to create a new login keychain in Keychain Access and set the password the same as your new password to have it auto-unlock on login.

  • But how do I create a new iTunes backup password without knowing the previous one?

    In case anyone keeps track of such things, I'm among those folks who really doesn't recall ever being asked to create an iTunes backup password, but that's irrelevant to my question.
    I'm not in any bind. I don't need my backup files to restore anything. I will shed no tears as they are moved to the Recycle Bin (indeed, I will gladly do the deed myself).
    That said, it appears impossible to create a new backup password without knowing the previous one.
    If the only "solution" is to wipe my iPhone's memory and start from scratch, I will be a sad camper.
    Any help? Are backups to iCloud encrypted?
    Cheers...

    Additionally:
    Be super critical & meticulous (and whatever other synonym I missed) when you get a new password:
    Write it onto your bedroom wall, or someplace off of a computer that you will always find.
    If you active 2-step verification, the key is VERY important. Lose it & you may be toast.
    If you don’t 2 step verify, & use the Security Question instead --> do not lose, or forget the answers.
    Very nearly the same outcome!!!!!:  Bad experience.
    If you add a 2nd email address, make sure its a RESCUE address not just an alternate address.
    If you lose these, you lose access to your 3rd party purchases via Appstore for future upgrade. That will make you VEWY, VEWY UNHAPPY. Apple new OS versions do update, but add a new device & likely you will be unable to use your content on that device. It will never load if the ID locks up.

    iTunes needs QuickTime to work.
    I think you will be all set if you install QuickTime standalone, not regular
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
    Download the isntall file to your hard drive - don't install it over the internet.
    If you are running anything Norton, turn that completely off before installing.

    You cannot merge Apple ID accounts, that has never been supported.
    You can contact the Apple ID Security folks per the listing in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 and they can help reset security questions and get the account working.

    My IPad has disconnected from my home WiFi and will not accept my password.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

    I would
    1. turn off the router for 30sec and connect it to see if it fix it
    2. restart the ipad by holding down the on and home button and use the slider
    3. update the firmware of the router

    my ipod touch 4th generation, is stuck on the apple turn-on screen where you turn it on, but all you see is the apple. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    it says my ipod is disabled for 22 million minutes. any ideas on how to get it unlocked without restoring it to factory settings?

    By restoring from backup or waiting
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

  • I made a new apple id because I couldnt access my other one. How do I use the same game center without knowing the old password?

    My old apple id basically kicked me off of it (Password became incorrect and I couldnt change it back) so I made a new one. I had apps on the old one that used the gamecenter. This hasnt been a problem, but now it wants me to put in the password for my old account to use the apps. I do not want to lose all of my progress, so is there any way for me to bypass this, or just connect it to my new account? (Specifically, I am playing Clash of Clans. I open the app, then after a few moments the gamecenter pops up and asks for my old password to continue. I tried just connecting my device to my phone, but it also needed the password for that too)

    ALL purchases are permanently associated with whatever Apple ID was used to originally obtain them.  Apps can not be updated without knowledge of that ID and, more importantly, its password.  Apple IDs can not be merged and purchases can not be transferred from one ID to another.

  • TS1424 I keep getting a message that my ID has been disabled when trying to download an app. I have changed password I with apple. Any ideas what is wrong?

    I keep getting a message that my ID has been disabled when trying to download an app. I have changed password with apple. Any ideas what is wrong?

    If you've changed your password and it still shows disabled then try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it
    If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support :  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • How do you reset an ipad mini without knowing the password?

    I have just recently changed my password, but know i have forgot the new one. How do you reset the ipad without knowing the password?

    If you mean the passcode to unlock the iPad then you will need to connect it to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If you do it via a different computer then :
    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.

    I would agree with you if there was always an Internet connection available and the the Apple Servers were always in operation.  In those instances when this is not the case, a USB installation drive is good to have.  I speak from experience.
