I just downloaded the new software. Now it says i need a backup password. is it unique to every phone? Im lost please help?

Not entirely sure what you want to do.
If you wabt to sign out of account in the Mail app, then it doesn't have the concept of signing out, if the account is enabled on the iPad then it is effectively always 'open'. If you want to view a different account that you've set up on the iPad then you can do so via the button at the top left of the Inbox to go up levels to a folder selection and then to account selection.
If you want to hide the account then see this work-around : https://discussions.apple.com/message/13127632?messageID=13127632
If you want to sign out of your iTunes account then you can tap on it in Settings > Store

    Hello, someone stole my sons IPhone today in his gym class. I have the "find my iphone app" on my phone BUT he is not a listed device. I went into his itunes account and downloaded the "find my iphone app" app under his account. When I try to log into "find my iphone" under his name on my device I get an error msg involving icloud......he is MUCH better at this stuff then I am BUT he is in school and now I  need to figure out how to use the "find my iphone app". PLEASE HELP

    It doesn't matter whick account you use to download the app.
    You have to sign into the app (or iCloud.com from a web browser on your computer) with his Apple ID & password.
    Find My iPhone will only work if it was enabled in the iCloud settings on the device and it was powered on with a connection to the internet

  • My dad has dementia - does not remember his password. His hard drive has been erased. We need to reload Mountain Lion and can't figure out how to do it.

    My dad has dementia - does not remember his password. His hard drive has been erased. We need to reload Mountain Lion and can't figure out how to do it. Internet recovery asks for his Apple ID and password. He has no idea. I have an Apple ID but have never bought anything through the iTunes store so it won't accept my Apple ID. I don't know if his computer is under warranty. He does not remember if he has Applecare. I tried reinstalling Leopard -- the computer originally came with Leopard -- but the computer screen goes grey and a message comes up saying I need to restart. He wants to give this computer to me since it's useless to him. What do I do to get a system on it again?

    You will need to reformat the hard drive to go back to Snow Leopard or Leopard.
    Does he have a Snow Leopard Disk? He should, as there is no way to go from Leopard to Mountain Lion without it. If you can find the Snow Leopard Disk, I'd at least start with that.
    You will need to use Disk Utility in the installer to format the hard drive and get rid of the recovery partition.
    Boot from the installer disk by holding down the C key on restart. When it boots, Open Disk Utility (Utilities menu, at least in Snow Leopard).
    Select the Hard drive and then click the Partition tab.
    Select 1 Partition from the partition menu.
    Select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format.
    Name the drive (Macintosh HD is the standard).
    Click Apply to partition the drive.
    When it is done, quit Disk Utility and install the OS.

  • I need help can i find out what device request a password reset.

    I dont check my email very often and when i did i had a email from apple saying how do i rest my password. they sent it to me on 8/15/13 at 2:30pm. also i went to my icloud account and noticed i only have 1 ipod and my sons iphone registered. i did have 2 ipods and my sons iphone. so i need some help finding out if i can get that email tracked back to the device. Also i had another email from 7/9/13.
    Your Apple ID,  was just used to download Paper Run from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID. You may also be receiving this email if you reset your password since your last purchase. that is what the 2nd email said. so now i am worried. if anyone can help lead me in the right derection. thank you

    I do not think you can find out on what device the purchases was made.
    I would change the password for your account.
    You can also contact iTunes and see what they can do

  • HT201240 I just got my Mac yesterday.  My kids want to access sites that need the adobe player.  When I try and download it asks for a password.   I do not even remember setting one up?  How do i find out what it is?

    I just got my Mac yesterday.  My kids want to access sites that need the adobe player.  When I try and download it asks for a password.   I do not even remember setting one up?  How do i find out what it is?

    FYI this is the legitimate Flash Player installer:
    This one is bogus:
    As X423424X wrote do not download it from any site other than the one he linked.
    Adobe does not require a password to download the Flash installer. Generally speaking passwords are not required to download software, unless you must register with the website so as to log in. In that case you should never use the same name and password you use to administer your Mac.

  • I need to find out if SMS Messaging can turn on automatically when my Ipad receives an Update or does a Password have to be entered to do this?  IE, when my IPAD SMS is turned on then my Iphone messages can be accessed.

    I need to find out if SMS Messaging can turn on automatically when my Ipad receives an Update or does a Password have to be entered to do this?  IE, when my IPAD SMS is turned on then my Iphone messages can be accessed.

    Maybe I used the wrong term for it.  Basically, someone recently had my Ipad and somehow turned on my messaging so they could read all of the messages on my Iphone.  I would think this the password was used to do this however they advised that the Ipad had an update which then activated the messaging.  Can this happen?

  • How do I find out my keychain password? Need more info fast about this

    My computer started to get really slow, so I looked what I could do to make it faster again. After searching I found that the safari content was high and that I should delete it to make it less laggy and slow. Long story short I ended up deleting my saved passwords on safari...Looking into more info, I found out that I needed to get to Keychain Access. I got to Keychain access, found all the passwords.
    My question..
    •How do I get them out of Keychain?
    •If I end up needing my password for Keychain, how do I find that out? I have the like start up CD, but I dont remember ever making a password.
    •And if I do retreive my Keychain Password some how, will that delete everything stored in Keychain? I would have just tried it, but its a lot of passwords I CAN NOT lose...
    Please help :/
    Thanks!

    Never mind the screenshot.
    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • HT1918 i need to find out my passwords

    I need to find out the answers to my security questions

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
    I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
    If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

    Hi there!
    Not knowing anything more than what you've posted (e.g., email provider, text of the request, etc.), we can only surmise that this must be the password revalidation that HotMail and other providers send out on a periodic basis. Here is the KB that discusses what to do:

  • I just formatted my hard drive and I need to find out what my "wireless password is"

    I just formatted my hard drive and I need to find out what my "wireless password is". I was in a hurry when I did format my PC that when I got to given my wireless a password, I used the same one as before. Now I have tried to finding what it is for my other products, I don't know where to look. Do I or can I change the password without losing anything? Need help PLEASE
    [Personal Information Removed]

    Hi:
    You need to read your router's configuration instructions on how to access the router's menu.
    Hopefully you can access that and in the wireless security menu you will find the passkey to use.

  • I need to find a new email provider.  One that integrates well with my 'mail.'  I will also need to figure out how to notify everyone in my 'address book' of my change. I've been okay with earthlink but it's getting too expensive. Please advise.  Jack

    I use a OLD G3 when I travel and mostly I am connecting over the satellites which is not really the best connection.
    I use GMX which is free and never have a problem getting my emails from anywhere even in the middle of the oceans.
    It does work using Apple mail and the adress book

  • HT201274 How do I erase all content and settings on my ipod touch when I don't have my password or the original computer?  I can't figure this out and it is frustrating me.  I need to completely reset my ipod touch. I think it is in dfu mode now

    How do I erase all the content and settings on my 8GB ipod touch without the password or the original computer?  This is very frustrating and I think I have it in the DFU mode.  I can't seem to figure out how to completely restore this ipod touch.  Please help.

    Did you get a message in iTunes that said iTunes found an iPod in recovery mode? If not then you might have not gotten the iPod in recovery mode. Try using this program to get the iPod in recovery mode:

  • Cannot change iCloud ID in iOS8 - Can't Sign Out without turning off Find My iPad - which needs the password for the old iCloud ID

    I have read the older responses to questions re how to change the iCloud account from an old ID/email address (OLD ID) - to a new ID/email address (CURRENT ID).  They all say go to Settings>iCloud - and Delete the iCloud account.  In iOS 8 - there is no Delete - but there is a Sign Out.  BUT - when I choose the Sign Out it shows a pop-up with the OLD iCloud ID - saying I must first sign IN to iCloud and enter a Password Required to turn off the Find My iPad feature.
    I have tried using the password I remember as being correct for the OLD iCloud ID.  Doesn't work.
    I have tried using the password for the CURRENT ID - even though the pop-up has the OLD ID displayed.  Doesn't work.
    I'm out of ideas - except Reset??
    Should I Reset All Settings? 

    I finally found a work-around in another thread on this Using iPad community.  Basically, I had to first make sure that the Messages and Facetime were associated with the CURRENT/NEW ID.  (I could do this by simply erasing the OLD ID and typing in the new - in General>Messages and General>Facetime.  I then used by PC to change my Apple ID back to the OLD ID/EMAIL - but leave the new password alone. 
    I then went back to Settings>iCloud - clicked on Sign Out.  When it asked me to log on -- with the OLD ID/EMAIL -- to turn off the Find My Phone - I did so using the Password that was originally used with the CURRENT/NEW ID.  This worked.  So I finally was able to close out of the iCloud account that used the OLD ID/EMAIL.
    I then went back on my PC to change my Apple ID back to the CURRENT/NEW ID/EMAIL.
    I then went back to the iPad Settings>iCloud - and signed on using the CURRENT/NEW ID/EMAIL.
    So everything is OK now.
    WHEW!!!
    Not sure why this has to be so difficult.  But thanks everyone for your suggestions.
