I have an old and new mac and used transfer manager to put the old mac on the new so that i have both users on one computer but now I can only log in as the new and as guest so cant access my old computer docs on this newer mac. Help!

Hello I have just sold my old macbook and so transfered all my data to my newer macbook using transfer manager. This allowed my to login on the newer computer under either the old or new username so I could access both computers' data on my newer computer. Last night that worked but today I can only access my newer user and a guest user. Where did my old user name and all the data go after the transfer? Help please! I have to give the buyer the old computer today!

I am not familiar with "transfer manager." Did you perhaps use the Migration Assistant? What operating system is installed on your new computer?
If you look in your hard drive, in the Users folder, do you see a folder with the name from your user on your old computer?
Best of luck.

IMovie was removed from my macbook pro after I downloaded OS X Yosemite, I had it before and have used it, but now I can only get it through the app store

iMovie was removed from my macbook pro after I downloaded OS X Yosemite, I had it before and have used it, but now I can only get it through the app store. I can't pay for it so I would really appreciate the help.

Look in your applications folder for the installer - Install OS X Yosemite. Delete it. Then go back to the App Store purchases tab and see if you can download it. You might have to re-index Spotlight.

MAC Mail: I have 2 accounts set up. I used to be able to add attachments to both accounts, but now I can only attach using 1 of the accounts. The other one doesn't work.

Try unmounting the volume on your iMac using Disk Utility. Then mount it again. You may need to reboot the laptop or relaunch its Finder process (using the Force Quit window) after remounting the drive on your iMac. Remember that no process may be accessing any files on the drive you plan to unmount, or the unmount will fail. Unmounting and remounting an external drive on my iMac made it become visible on my MacBook Pro after it had disappeared.

It looks like ocz is aware of the issue and trying to address it via firmware:

It's a shame because apple is clearly the party that changed something.

Having lost my password, et al., I obtained a new one successfully, but now when I tried to make a purchase, I was asked for my Security Code. How do I obtain a new one since I have lost all my iPad documentation?

That refers to the 3 digit security code on the back of your credt card, not a security code for the iPad.

That's because you can't delete it directly from the phone.
Since you synced not imported those pictures to your iphone using iTunes, you will need to do the opposite and unsync the pictures, in order to remove it from your phone.

What exactly do you mean with 'I can't log off'?
Typically you wouldn't use Thunderbird on a public computer.

I signed up for sync on one computer and got a pairing code on the second computer but now I can't bring up the pairing screen on the first computer. Why not?

I set up sync on the first computer, then got a sync code on the second computer. Now I can't bring up the sync screen on the first computer to sync them together.

HT1451 I used to be able to sync all songs that I downloaded from CDs to my iPad. Now I can only get the songs that were purchased from iTunes. Can someone tell me why?

I used to be able to sync songs that I imported from CDs into my library onto my iPad and iPad touch. Now I can only sync the purchased from iTunes songs. What has changed? Do I have to subscribe to iCloud to do this now?

Hi Cricketdaw,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
iTunes should sync your entire library, and not just songs purchased from the iTunes Store, as mentioned in this article:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
By default, iTunes automatically syncs your entire iTunes library whenever you connect your device to your computer. On each subsequent sync, iTunes will automatically add any new music or videos to the device and remove any items that are no longer in your iTunes Library.

We removed Pages from the computer, but now we can't open Word documents directly. The computer keeps bringing up an alert that it can't find Pages to open the document.

We removed Pages from my husband's computer, but now when he tries to open documents that were created in Word, we can't open them directly, only through the Word Dialogue box. The computer keeps bringing up an alert that it can't find Pages to open the document.

Select one of the documents. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With panel select Word from the dropdown menu then click on the Change All button. This should fix the problem.

HT4847 I had a previous e-mail address associated with my Apple Account. I change this, but Cloud did not update with the change. Now I can't log-in under the old I.D. and when I try to provide a password or get through by providing my BD it says it is

For some reason when trying to get ito Cloud, I can't get into my previous e-mail address to make changes, which I must do to delete it. Cloud does not recognize my old password and the system does not seem to associate my BD with it. I knowlonger have the old e-mail address associated with Cloud.
I have a new e-mail associate with my Apple account and a new password. The problem is trying to get Cloud to recognize my new I.D.

You have to delete the old account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account 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 and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I purchased 3 songs on itunes today, i watched them download, and i watched it take my money, but now i can't find them amoungst the "purchases". So basically it looks like itunes stole my money?

why is itunes not recognizing that i just bought these songs? I watched them as they downloaded, but now there's no trace of them anywhere so i can't put them on my ipod. And i have money on an itunes gift card, and i watched as the amount went down after buying the songs, so i know that i paid for them. any ideas?

nevermind guys, i figured out what to do. for anybody else with this issue, try going to "store" (in the top bar on itunes), then "view my account", and then it should tell you if you have any items availible for download. then you can download them there, and get the things you paid for. This was a really annoying issue though, because it made it look like itunes had stolen my money, and almost tricked me into wasting my money trying to re-purchase the songs. itunes should look in to this.

Why can I no longer log in to a site I have logged into 340 times before? Now I can only log in using Private Browse Window.

On my Window 7 Pro 32-bit system a website that I have logged in to over 340 times (according to my settings info) no longer allows me to log in unless I open a Private Browsing Session Window. When I use a Private Browsing Session I can log in right away & I have no problems.
I can log in to that site using my XP system with the same version of Firefox 27.1 without doing anything special. Does anyone have any ideas what I might check or do to resolve this? I realize it's not the end of the world since I figured out that this site works with a Private Browsing Session, but it IS an extra hassle. The system that's having this problem is my wife's computer, so that makes it extra important for this to be resolved.
Thank you in advance for any help I can get with this.'''bold text'''

Thank you both for your quick responses. I am now able to log in correctly. I did Ctl+Shift+r to reload the page from the server & deleted all of the cookies for that page. Now I am able to log in as before. I no longer have to open a Private Browsing Session Window.
My first thought yesterday when I was trying to fix this problem on my own, was to delete the cookies. Then I thought that if the cookies WERE corrupt I would not be able to log in even with a Private Browsing Session. I see now that I probably should have at least tried my idea.
I REALLY appreciate the help with this. My problem is fixed & I'm good to go!! THANK YOU!

Had my ipod for one year but now I can't access my music. ipod wants me to create an account but I already have one. Any suggestions?

Had my ipod for a year but now I cannot access my music. ipod want me to create an account but I already did this a year ago. Says my email address is already in use. Any suggestions?

You said "In order to enter ipod I had to create a new id. " Just why did you have to create a new ID? iTunes/App purchases a re locked to the account that purchased them.
You also said "Says my email address is already in use." You can only have one account with one email address.
I do not understand what you did or why you did it. What is current status of the iPod?
