I have updated my Apple ID via my iPad, but my other devices still think the ID is the old one and I can't work out how to update them
Yesterday, after discovering that the email address I used as my Apple ID was about to be deleted, I used my iPad to update my Apple ID to a new one. Everything went fine, until I moved on to my iPhone, which is still asking me for the password for my OLD Apple ID. I can't work out how to tell either my iPhone or my Macbook that this one is out of date and get them to change to the new one. iTunes is changed, but the settings aren't. Can anyone help me please?
You haven't stuffed it, you just haven't signed out, so do that now, everywhere your old ID appears needs to be signed out of.
Any variant of "Find My" (phone/mac/pad etc) that's signed in should be signed out.
List what needs a sign out if you don't know how to.

I updated my Apple ID but my I Cloud account still has my old ID and I can not figure out how to update it
Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again. -
I have changed my out Apple ID for a new one. This has been successful for iTunes etc but not for iCloud. I can't seem to work out how to change my account which is the email address used for my old Apple ID.
To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted (if using iOS 7), 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. Click edit next to the primary email account, 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 save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished 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.

How do I re-download podcasts? My external hard drive failed and I can't figure out how to download them again in the updated iTunes.
The Time Capsule drive is a network drive. You have to mount it on the desktop before you will be able to drag/drop files onto the disk. More tips are in this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17312017#17312017
.....and then delete them from the Mac to free up space?
The Time Capsule was designed for your backups.
If you move a file to the Time Capsule drive and delete the file from your Mac.....you have no backup.
Your only copy of the file will be on the Time Capsule drive. I would only do this with files that I could afford to lose.
All drives fail. When.....not if....the Time Capsule drive has a problem, you will lose your data. -
Hi - I'm trying to sync iBooks on my Macbook Pro with iBooks running on my iPad. I have some pdf's download from the net I want to share between devices and I can't work out how to sync the two devices. Any help please? I'm running Mavericks
Thanks for your help Brij011 - much appreciated. Apologies as I'm a newbie but I've looked at the info for synching and I appear to have all the switches flicked on my iPad. Does the iPad and iBooks only sync in iCloud for purchases as I appear to be doing something wrong. I could sync ok when books was in iTunes but since migrating to Mavericks I think I'm doing something wrong!!

Hi I've imported photos from my old mac onto my new but could not find them in iphoto. When I searched for them I realised they were in another library. I transferred over to what I think is that library and it said I needed to update the softwear for them which I tried to do but after downloading could not understand apple's instructions. They said to choose the Go menu in Finder - what's that?!! Now when I tried to go back to my other library I couldn't find it ahhhggg!!!
MWhat version of iPhoto were you using on the old Mac? What version on the new, Mac.
If you try to open the "older" library with the iPhoto on the new Mac it will need to convert it to the newer version. If the older version was iPhoto 7 or earlier and the new vesion was iPhoto 9.5 then you will need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.
So if you will provide information asked for we can go from there.

This just happened without reason. Not sure what other information I can provide.
Hi! It sounds like you might have accidentally changed the default font. You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Changing fonts and colors#os=mac&browser=fx7]]. It should give you all the steps you need to change it back. Another possible scenario is that you accidentally increased the font size. This might give the appearance that all the text is in bold. You can find the details in [[How do I use Zoom?]] Since this can be done through a keyboard shortcut, it might be worth a look. I know I've accidentally changed the font size myself a few times.
Hopefully this helps! -
How do u get ur photos from iCloud back to ur phone if the disappear???
You download photo stream photos by going to Settings>iCloud>Photo Stream and setting it to On. Photos are only held in photo stream for 30 days, so older photos will no longer be there.
Camera roll photos are only included in your backup. If the photos were on your iPod when you last backed it up, restoring the entire backup should recover them. Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial device setup process. If you have any newer data on your iPod now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. Then go through the setup screens on your iPod and given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish. -

You do a restore as new to wipe the iPhone then at the end of restore you will be asked to restore from backup. Choose your iPhone backup.
Note you cannot restore an IOS newer than the IOS on iPhone, you need to update iPhone first. -
I have a macbook pro and use BT homehub 3. can't work out how to connect my time capsule. can anyone help? thanks
Just need to plug the TC in to the hub in bridge mode.. do not try and bridge the homehub.. it is not possible with the setup BT uses.
To bridge the TC.. plug it directly into a computer by ethernet.. no other connection to the TC or the computer.
Press and hold in reset until the front LED flashes rapidly.. about 10sec.
Release the reset.
Open the airport utility and setup the TC to bridge mode.
The actual method depends on version of the OS and airport utility you use.
This is version 5.
Sorry I cannot post the v6 as I am on a snow leopard computer now. But you go to the network tab, and choose off bridge mode for method of connection. It will be NAT and dhcp by default.
Then setup wireless.. you have a number of choices here.
Either setup with the same SSID Security and password, as the homehub uses.. or a different name, and password..
Each method works fine.. but you sometimes have issues with wireless channels.. for now leave it on auto and see what happens.. if you have issues lock down the radio channels on both devices.. use one out of the following on each, 1, 6, 11 or 13 in UK.. so say 6 on the homehub then 13 onthe TC.
Update the TC.. unplug fromt the computer and plug it into the homehub.
If you have other issues with the setup tell us what OS you run so we can post suitable screenshots. -
how do i associate a different apple ID with my ipad? I need to do this bc my gmail account was hacked and a hoax email sent out from it. so i opened a new gmail account and want to associate this new email with my ipad
To check if you have a virus, you can download ClamXav
also, go to Applications>Utilities>Activity Monitor and see if there's anything that you don't recognize, and check your sent email to see if you've been sending emails without your knowledge. -
I plugged into iTunes and now all my notes on my phone are gone. Years worth of notes that I stupidly don't have saved anywhere else. Can someone tell me what to do to get them back?? I have iTunes set to back them up but can't find out how to retrieve them.I plugged into iTunes and now all my notes on my phone are gone. Years worth of notes.

After you restore from backup, you MUST sync to restore your iTunes content. No iTunes content is included in the iPhone backup. Your apps should be in your iTunes library, just sync them back to your phone. If for some reason your apps are not in your library, you can re-download them for free:

Edit > Preferences. Select the check box for Ringtones, this will add them to the listing in iTunes.
