I have multiple devices that have my iCloud E-mail, I want to disable the E-Mail on some of the devices but keep it on others, I do not have physical access to the ones I want to disable but I do have access to the devices I want to keep receiving mail, can I do this with a simple password reset or will that still leave all devices enabled?

The simple way would be to uncheck 'Mail' in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud, but as you would need access to the devices in question to do that you will have to change your password, at http://appleid.apple.com. You will then need to sign out and back on all the devices you want to be able to receive mail, and it's important that you follow this procedure and note the warning:
Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
Where it says 'Password & Security' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
Enter your new password and click 'Save changes'.
Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.
The devices on which you have not changed the password will throw up continual error messages as they attempt to contact iCloud and fail.

  • HT201317 I only have one device that can run icloud.  How can I bring my photos back to it?

    I have one device that can run iCloud.  It is my iPad.  I backed up all my photos to the cloud, then deleted them off my ipad.  I thought they would download
    to my Mac and to my iTouch but then I discovered that those two devices are too old to run icloud.  Now my photos are gone!  Is there any way my ipad can access them again?
    Thanks for any help.  These photos were of our recent vacation in Ecuador.  I hate to lose them forever.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photos in photo stream...
    You can log into your iCloud account on another computer or device and enable photo stream to see your photos. You should do this as soon as possible because photo stream in the cloud only keeps photos for 30 days and each day you delay, you will lose another days photos.
    Photos in the camera roll...
    If you kept a back up of your device you can use it to restore to a replacement device, this will restore all of the photos in your camera roll and isn't time limited.

  • Can you have multiple (2) iPhones on 1 icloud account?

    My wife and I have shared an icloud account ( before that a mobileme account) for many years with no problem.

  • HT1349 I have multiple albums that I've purchased that iTunes will not allow me to play stating they cannot locate the source. I then tried going into available downloads in iTunes to see if I needed to download it again, and iTunes tells me it is already

    I have multiple albums that I've purchased through iTunes, and iTunes will not allow me to play them stating they cannot locate content.I tried going into iTunes Store and look for available downloads, but the store shows it's already downloaded. It's a lot of music i've bought and can't play. How do I fix this?

    Forget the pad for a moment and just think about I tunes on your computer.  Every now and then( 3 times over 6 years) when doing an I tunes upgrade, I tunes seems to lose track of some of my music files.  They show up in the I tunes listing, but when you try to play, it cannot find the source.   The cause is always that I have somehow moved some or all of the music to a library that is outside of the set of libraries I have dragged into I tunes.
    On your computer, search for one of the songs.  All the missing ones are probably together, and when you find one, you will find the rest.  When you find it, note the directory  and file path to where it lives, then add that path to your I tunes
    Ibarra.
    Note, the original listing will still be in I tunes, so you will get double listings for theses songs, and no easy way to tell which is the valid ane and which is not, other than the ! Symbol when it cannot find the file.  I know of no good way to get rid of the duplicate listing except manually going through and deleting them.
    One you get them back into your I tunes library, they will sync and play fine.
    Second side effect,  if you are streaming to atv, and it comes accross one of those entries that leads nowhere, it simply stops streaming, and you have to restart the play.

  • I have always heard that Macs are less likely to get infected with a virus.  My computer has been running much slower since I installed Maverick.  Just not sure what the problem might be.  Is there a way for me to run a diagnosis?

    I have always heard that Macs are less likely to get infected with a virus.  My computer has been running much slower since I installed Maverick.  Just not sure what the problem might be.  Is there a way for me to run a diagnosis?

    Some have found relief just by reinstalling, but it is more than likely incompatible third-party applications that slow it down.
    You will have to investigate to see what it is.
    Open Activity Monitor and see if anything is using a lot of CPU% or Memory. If they are, check to see if there is an update for them.
    Another place to look is the Console. See if anything is logging repeating messages with throttling and/or respawn in the All Messages list.
    Sometimes it is not that easy to root out the problems, but if you have anything that purported to clean, protect, optimize, maintain, or flush your system, then that is likely the cause.

  • I have multiple songs that only play part on my pc even though I purchased them.

    I have multiple songs that will not play all the way through. They are all songs I have purchased and do not have a buy option next to them. I lost my ipod touch and only have my pc to work with now.

    There is no such thing as "Adobe Reader Pro Pack".  What exactly did you purchase?
    Did you download it?  Did you install it?

    If your Mac meets these requirements:

    then you can order a Snow Leopard disk and install it.

  • I have a DVD project that takes about 14 hours to generate. Is there any way to periodically save it during encoding so power failures or other problems do not require a complete restart?

    I have a DVD project that takes about 14 hours to generate. Is there any way to periodically save it during encoding so power failures or other problems do not require a complete restart?

    No.  Are you saving the project as a disk image rather than burning directly to disk from iDVD?  If not then that's what I suggest you do.  That will separate the encoding process from the burn process to save time and disks if the encoding is bad.  It also lets you burn a second or third disk without having to encode again.

  • How do you reset data on iCloud? My first device that moved to iCloud is not the most accurate.  The only option iCloud gives is to merge.  I want to erase and reset up with my laptop to iCloud then add my other devices?  Any help?

    My first device that I moved to the cloud was not the most accurate.  I want to erase what is on the iCloud and reset with my laptop first and then my other devices. Any suggestions?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Before you start, I'd export the data from the notebook to your desktop as a back up.
    Turn syncing off, if it isn't already, on the notebook (system preferences > iCloud), delete the data from the first device, turn on syncing on the notebook and merge.

  • I have multiple folders that i wish to compact into one - how do I do this?

    After a couple of migrations with Outlook, I have multiple instances of various folders & would like to consolidate them - and then have a grand tidy up!
    Just not sure how to go about moving files/groups of files/whole folders into another folder.
    Any help would be appreciated - I may have the wrong end of the stick, coming from an Outlook 2003 background!

    Yes, this is a Thunderbird Question - not sure how/why it strayed, I went through the Help facility to post it. Please move it to the appropriate forum. Bilz

  • I have multiple files that appeared when I imported songs. They have names like TFS_TRECG_L46. They are copying themselves and filling up space. I have run Norton and Spybot. Nothing is showing up. How do I fix this issue?

    Thanks.

    The old rule of thumb was to keep 10-12 GB free. Any lower than that and you will start to have trouble. I was very close to that for a long time and never had any complaints. Now, Lion "encourages" 20% free space (on my newer 250 GB drive) so I try to keep it with more than 50 GB free.
    Do you still have the original memory in that machine too? The metal plate you have to remove in the battery compartment also provides access to the RAM. Your machine will take 2 GB of RAM, possibly 3. You definitely want to max that out too.
    Regardless, you definitely need a new hard drive. When Apple switched to PC components, they had to take a quality hit. These 2.5" notebook hard drives are not very reliable. I'm surprised your hard drive hasn't died by now. I usually get a new hard drive with every major OS upgrade. A $ 50 investment every couple of years is no big deal.
    Unfortunately, you (and I) suffer from being an early adopter in 2006. Those 32-bit machines only accept 2 GB RAM (maybe 3) and are only 32-bit so they can't be upgraded to Lion. Because of this limitation, you won't see as dramatic an improvement as you would with a 2007 machine. If you run more than a couple of applications, your hard drive is always going to have to be doing some VM work. My 2006 machine has even lost its bluetooth. I gave it to my brother. My very similar 2007 Macbook is still running great.
    So, you must get a new hard drive because your old one is likely on death's door. If you don't have at least 2 GB - get it. If you can't afford a new machine, you might want to consider an SSD. That might help mitigate your RAM limitations. You can spend from $ 100 to $ 350 and get a dramatic speed improvement.

  • Can an InCopy document have multiple stories that link to InDesign?

    I am working on a product catalog and would like to link my text from an InCopy files to my InDesign file.  A typical page in my ID file consists of 2+ text frames.  Is there a way to have all the text that belongs on that page in one IC file?  Ideally I'd love it if all the text files from a whole section/book file could be housed in one IC file also, is that possible? Thanks for your help!

    InCopy files are individual stories. You’d have to thread the two, but why is this an issue.
    You don’t open the InCopy files. You open the INDD file or an assignment file.

  • Why are not all photos taken with an iphone available on the icloud, even that i made some fotos at the same time. Some of them are afterwards available on fotostream others not

    Hi,
    why are not all photos taken with an iphone available on the icloud, even that i made some fotos at the same time?
    Some of these photos are afterwards available on fotostream others not.
    Thx
    Markus

    If they are in photos view then they are in an event unless you have a corrupted library
    How are you"merging" the photos?
    most common issue is either bad sort (view menu ==> sort events) or bad camera dates
    select one and show event to see the event

  • Mail: Have an email that when I try to delete I get rotating colored circle and mail locks up?

    For the first time, I have received an email from known source and when I go to delete it I get a rotating colored circle and mail locks up. To get out I have to force quit.
    I have an iMac running Lion.
    Any idea of what may be going on here?

    Hello,
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions,  then move these files to the Desktop.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Then try deleting it in Safe Mode.
