I Made a new icloud account bc forgot my username and email and now I can't access bc says I have too many accounts on phone please help!
If the messages says the maximum number of accounts have already been created, you will not be able to create a new one on that phone. All you can do in that case is either reuse one of the accounts previously created or create your new account on a different iOS device or Mac, if you have one.

I have Mac mini 2.0/2x2gb/2x500/AP/BT, and i forgot the username and the password. How can I resolve this problem?
The username is the name attached to your Home folder - /Users/username/. If you don't know the password then it can be changed but you will need the installer DVD that came with the computer for the installed version of OS X. You have not provided that information.

Hi I bought an iPhone from my friend who forgot the username and password, and now my iPhone Aktyvyshn code and that it wants to register Forgot your password to her email, please guide me
You can NOT do so. Only the owner of the account used to lock the phone can remove it. Instructions for how to do so can be found within or linked from within the document I already linked to.
Activation lock is an anti-theft feature designed to make the device useless to anyone other than the rightful owner.
If your friend refuses to give your money back and can not or will not remove the activation lock, there is a fair possibility that the phone was not theirs to sell in the first place. -

Your BIS account is not managed by RIM -- rather, it is managed by your carrier. You need to call them to get this resolved.
If that does not work, then please return to these forums (http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/) and register an account so that we can provide you with direct assistance.

How to get to see the usernames and passwords for wifi logins on iPad
How to get to see the usernames and passwords for wifi logins on iPad.
You can't access that on an iPad. The iPad does not have a Keychain Access type app like the Mac has. Maybe an application like iExplorer on your Mac will let you see them, but you can't see them on the iPad itself.

Stuck in login window after upgrading to Mavericks
I am unable to login with my (admin) account after upgrading to Mavericks yesterday.
This was very unfortunate considering that I didn't backup my data !!
On reboot (I do not remember whether it was the first or second time) I couldn't login anymore as I usually did.
I tried different procedures (entering secure mode, repair permissions, reinstall 2 times Mavericks) but cannot solve the stuck.
Then I thought it could be a nice idea to create a new admin user and followed this instructions (http://www.hackmac.org/tutorials/how-to-create-a-new-administrator-account/).
After that I was able to login with the new user, I backed-up my data but I was still in stuck on login window with the old user.
I tried to delete
com.apple.loginwindow.plist
com.apple.recentitems.plist
from /Users/XXX//Library/Preferences/ and tried to restart but nothing.
Now I wonder how my old and important user can start working again.
Thank you very much.
GiulianoRestart and hold down the Command and R keys during startup.
On top, in the Menu Bar click the Utilities item then select Terminal.
In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
The Password reset utility launches/
Reset password.

IMac purchased at garage sale help. Gets stuck at "Login Window Starting."
Hi all,
I recently purchased an iMac at a barn sale, and it turns on and everything, but then gets stuck at "Login Window starting" screen (http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt135/gpd2paul4/IMG_0251.jpg). When Goggling this problem, I see that I am not alone in thee problem, but I am alone in the fact that I don't even know what model it is (I think G3, but not sure), let alone have the original CDs or paperwork. I have tried holding 'shift' right after the startup chime to start up in safe mode, but it still gets stuck at "Login Window starting." I have attached a few pictures of the computer to help you veteran Mac users identify it, which might help you help me. Any help is appreciated. (Step-by-step instructions are best, I am good at using a Mac, but this is getting pretty technical.)
Thanks!!!

Hold down the shift key when booting into Mac OS X. this will check your file structure and do a repair. This will also leave off some files from being used.

You need to figure out the level of your firmware before installing 10.2 or greater. ( The PC name for firmware is BIOS. ) Installing 10.2 with a down level firmware will most likely make your iMac unusable and difficult to fix.
What is firmware?
The firmware software receives control when you poweron your machine. It does some hardware testing and some hardware configuration then passes control to your version of Mac OS. It reside on a PROM ( program read only memory ) chip on the logic board.
Open Firmware, boot into Open Firmware.
Power on your iMac while holding down commandoption+of
The first output line contains the firmware level. Mine reads:
Apple PowerMac4,1 4.1.9f1 BootRom built on 09/14/01 at 13.18.04
Copyright 1994-2001 Apple Computer Inc.
On my machine, I have 4.1.9f1.
What firmware do you need?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
For a slot loading iMac, this article indicates that you need to be running 9.1 or later version of Mac OS Classic.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75130
"The iMac Firmware Update 4.1.9 will only run on iMac computers with lot-loading CD or DVD drives running Mac OS 9.1 or later from a local drive. If you are using Mac OS X you must boot from a local Mac OS 9.1 or later writeable partition (not a CD, or network disk) prior to following the update instructions."
You can download the Mac OS 9 updates from the Apple site.

There is no need to partition. You can save hard drive space by doing a custom install. Leave out the print drivers you do not need and the languages you do not need. Doing so you will need about three gigabytes of space.
You need to get into single use mode.
This page will tell you how to get into single user mode.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492
Basically, you hold down the command-s key then powering on your machine. The command key has a little apple symbol on the lower left. It is between the alt/option key and the space bar
When you are in single user mode, you are in Unix. you can try looking in the log files to see if you can find anything.
To see the current boot log you use the dmsg command.
dmsg
startup information is in /var/log/system.log
to display the last 500 lines use the tail command.
tail -n 500 /var/log/system.log | more
For these commands you will need to gain write access to your startup disk. There are some comments at the end of the startup process that list the needed commands.
mac $ ls -lF ~/zztemp.txt
ls: /Users/mac/zztemp.txt: No such file or directory
mac $ tail -n 500 /var/log/system.log | cat > ~/zztemp.txt
mac $ nano ~/zztemp.txt

I assume the message contained /Library/Logs/CrashReporter. Do a change directory:
cd /Library/Logs/CrashReporter
mac $ pwd
/Library/Logs/CrashReporter
mac $ ls

mac $ tail -n 400 \?\?\?.crash.log

After login I get a blue screen and then back to login window, but only for one account
When one of the users on the iMac tries to login it goes to a blue screen and back to the login window. This only happens with one of the users - I've tried doing a safe boot, running disk utility, and using Time Machine to restore the user's libray back to pre-problem timetable. When I run repair permissions I do gt a SUID file "usr/sbin/vpnd" and "usr/sbin/pppd" have been modified. Any ideas?
Try this...

If that doesn't help I'd make a new user & use an admin account to move the old folders over & change rights to the new user. -
I Forgot my username and password?
I go to IP address of my Cisco WVC210 Wireless-G PTZ Internet Video Camera and with audio but promted me the USERNAME and PASSWORD.. Is there a way to know my USERNAME AND PASSWORD because i forgot it..
Hello Karl,
DId you change the default username/password from admin/admin?
If so, you will need to restore it to factory default.
• Restore Factory Defaults — To restore the factory default settings, press the Reset button for more than 3 seconds. The reset button can be accessed with a straightened paper clip or similar object. When you let go of the button, the LEDs on the front of the camera will flash and then return to a normal state when the camera is ready. -
