I reset my apple ID and password for new iPhone 5. Now my iPad is stuck with old ID and I can't remember the old password in order to change apple account on iPad.....

I would like to enable my new Apple ID onto my iPad but in order to do that I have to delete my previous Apple ID with password. I have tried to retrieve my password several times with no success. Does anyone know how to bypass this step? I can't even reset it to factory settings without the old password.
Thanks for any help.

There is no way to bypass this step. It's Activation Locked. You can read more about it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
You will need to resolve the password issue for your old Apple Id to move forward.
To reset your password follow these steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5787
If you are still having issues, contact Apple via phone so they can help you reset your password: http://support.apple.com/kb/he57

Hey Sierra, You can do just what you have stated. My question, what is your "other"? If it is over 1.5 GB you most likely have corrupt files. Doing a Restore to New, Factory restore should correct it. Just make sure you make a full backup of all information on your iPod to your computer before you restore, so you don't lose your stuff, contacts, videos, pictures, non-iTunes music, etc, use the cable and connect with your computer. Then, via cable, connect to your computer, run the Restore to new, don't use your backup. Treat this iPod as if it was your first one ever. When restore is done, set up and add what info you wish to install on this iPod. The music apps etc you purchased should be on your computer, if not you should be able to retrieve purchased apps and music from iTunes. Any music, videos, apps not purchased from iTunes will be lost to you if you do not save them to your computer or the cloud first. When your done, make a current Backup and you should good to go. Hope this helps. Good luck. Cheers.

I am not sure what you mean by "Flash Player for steam"; the only Flash Player installers I know is the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and the plugin (for other browsers); you can find both at http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header

Is the iPhone alarm supposed to sync with iwatch? I can't get any alarm notifications from my iPhone to my watch. Do I have to just set up whole new alarms specifically in my watch?

Is the iPhone alarm supposed to sync with iwatch? I can't get any alarm notifications from my iPhone to my watch. Do I have to just set up whole new alarms specifically in my watch?

Yes, they should sync. Check the Watch app on the iPhone and look at Calendar - make sure it's set to Mirror my phone
If it still doesn't work, reset the Watch, restart the phone and re-pair the Watch - fixes a few glitches

TS3297 I have just set up a new apple ID account and verified it form my email acount, but i'm still unable to download any apps on my iPhone

I have just set up a new ID and password - I have received the email to my Email account and all verified.
But i am still unable to down load any apps on my iPhone or PC message reads " could not sign in"

The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Just set up my new ipad Air and cannot set up my gmail account into mail ?

Just set up my new ipad Air and cannot set up my gmail account into mail ?

EASY SIMPLE FIX....
The problem is Google.
I had the same problem, couldn't install Gmail on my ipad or iphone and kept saying wrong / incorrect password, error messages. Worked for hours and hours on this.
It is Google's (optional) 2-step verification system that is to blame.
Google won't tell you this, and instead, they have come up with work arounds, and even telling people to install the Gmail iPhone/ipad app, which then limites the iphone/pad functionality when not using iphone's native mail.
FIX:
Logon to Google...
Go into your Google account preferenes
DELETE your cell number used for 2-step verification...... leave it blank
(it is optional, Google does not require you use 2-step verification)
Thats it. Your'e done.
Now set up your Gmail (now called Google) as usual on your Apple device.
You don't need 2-step (optional) verification.
There are other secure ways to do this. It is an option, but Google goes out of it's way not to tell you this.
(and a great way for Google to gleen your personal information, in the name of security)
Hope this helps someone.

I am on 10.7, so Mail interface may look a bit different, but here a couple of screenshots - on the (Preferences) accounts page, look at the bottom for outgoing mail server and then choose Edit:
In the resulting window:
enter the information needed; also click on Advanced and enter any info/port numbers given to you (unless it does it automatically).

HT4859 I have an iPhone 5 and have just set up the iCloud for it. I also have an iPad with different content and I also want to connect it to iCloud. Will I lose everything that's on my iPad or iPhone or do they sync together without losing anything?

The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

I am setting up a new iMac and need help syncing files to Dropbox. On my old computer I had it set where when I saved a document, it was saved on my hard drive, as well as to a folder in Dropbox. I can't remember how I set this up. Any help?

The way that Dropbox works is that it keeps a copy of all your files in your local Dropbox folder on your hard drive (which is, by default, directly under your home folder). Adding files to that folder will sync them to the Dropbox server.
You do of course have to download the Dropbox application to enable this (download link at the top right of http://dropbox.com ).

I just heard on the news we need to do something to prevent hackers on I phone and I pad. What is it?

I just heard on the news we need to do a simple task on our I phones and I Pads to prevent hackers from entering them. What do we need to do?

Go to settings/General/Software Update. This should offer to update the device to 7.0.6. It may not immediately, as Apple is rolling the release out over time to prevent server overload.
