How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas

How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

HT201656 Email is unusable as it keeps trying to load emails and won't stop. What can I do?

Email is unusable as it keeps trying to load emails and won't stop. What can I do?

Try closing the mail app completely and reboot your iPad. Assuming that you are running iOS 7 .....
Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Mail app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

My screen is on and I can see calls and texts coming in but I cannot use touchscreen. It is frozen and won't move. What can I do?

My iPhone is on and I can see calls and texts coming in but I cannot use the touch screen. It is frozen. What can I do?

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
Have you tired all three of these options?

Restarted my iMac and now it's stuck on the blue screen

I have not had a problem with the actual computer since I received it a year ago.
This is what I did on my computer today:
I downloaded Google Chrome, for the sites that don't really work as well with Safari and then later on, I changed a couple of the Folder Sharing permission for a few picture folders and a couple of document folders so "Everyone" does not have access to them, only me. I went into my System Preferences > Accounts to see who was under "Staff" and any other computer I tried to connect to. I tried to unlock the Accounts section and my System Preferences kept freezing, so I had to force quit it.
Every time I had a freezing issue with my PC, I always restarted it, so that's what I did, I restarted my iMac. Now, it only shows a blue screen. It goes through the gray screen with the apple logo, and then the blue screen. I see my cursor to my Magic Mouse for a few seconds and then it vanishes. Now all I have is a blue screen and it's been on a blue screen, this time, for about 15 minutes.
I tried to hold down the power button, mainly out of panic, and I also unplugged everything and then tried to turn it back on and that hasn't worked.
Please help. : (

Sounds like you changed some of the file and share permissions
incorrectly and then complicated things further by hoping a restart
in the middle of this mistaken direction could cure it somehow.
Sometimes that works; but some parts of the system are not to be
messed with, since some items have to be where they are to work.
And some kinds of keyboard/mouse functions on boot are reluctant
to perform with a bluetooth or wireless mouse & keyboard; so a USB
wired keyboard is very handy to own & have on hand. I have spares.
(You may have to try and see if a power management reset can help,
if the problem has compounded by now into more than the first issue;
a System Management Controller reset. (Don't recall how, but this
will vary with the model and build year of the computer.) And it may
not help resolve the issue; booting from the installer disc may...)
Some command keys require early power in the keyboard; sometimes,
a wireless keyboard or mouse won't be seen by the computer at a
critical moment in early boot stages; so a procedure may not occur.
Keyboard commands and shortcuts on boot are important to use &
know in the case of troubleshooting and maintenance.
Can you start the computer from the OS X install disc that came
with the computer (or if you've upgrade the OS to a later than
originally shipped version, use the latest retail disc) by holding
the C key down on boot, until you see a window with either a
choice to select a language or (maybe second window) a menu
in the top of the screen, where you see Installer (instead of Finder)
and check the top menu bar by clicking to read the drop-down
menus, looking for Disk Utility.
When you find Disk Utility, as indicated from the booted Installer disc
(disc #1 of a restore install set) select the name of your computer drive
which probably is Macintosh HD in the Disk Utility left side-bar, and then
click on 'repair disk.' When that is done, note if there is a message in
the little screen inside the utility, what it said; then choose to run the item
named 'repair disk permissions' and then restart the computer normally.
This would include selecting the computer's hard disk drive from an
option in the Installer's menu bar after quitting Disk Utility; to choose
from a startup manager, the Macintosh HD as a boot volume, & restart.
You could try and see if the computer would re-start and with the Shift
key held down, through the boot process (from the hard disk drive OS)
and if it gets to a point of asking for your Admin password, enter it, &
continue until a desktop appears. If this works, use GO in the Finder
top menu bar and find Utilities folder, open it, and find Disk Utility, then
run 'repair disk permissions' on the volume Macintosh HD. + Restart.
This may not work, but if it sorta does, you could try and see if things
run OK. Another possible fix (without performing an Archive & Install
from the booted Install disc) may be to get the Combo update file for
the OS X version you have in the computer already, & reinstall it.
Be sure to repair disk permissions before and after this kind of action.
If you want other users of your computer to not access your files, be
sure to set up other user accounts with less than Admin privileges.
Then understand how security works in Mac OS X. Your user folder
content is not normally accessible by someone running that computer
from a different user account, if the computer is used correctly.
One of the better Mac browsers is Camino from Mozilla; FireFox is OK,
and for some users, Opera is fine enough. There are others; and I am
not so sure about Chrome at this point. No real need for me to use it.
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!

Jailbroken? Dropped? Got wet?
What troubleshooting steps did you already try? Restore the iOS?

I am using iPad and safari is not working, what can I do?

Safari on my iPad isn't working, when it bumps up it's nothing but a dark page! How can I fix it?

Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. It is safe to do, there should be no content loss. It is the same as rebooting your computer.

2 day old ipad's camera is stuck on the shutter screen and a reset doesn't fix it.

I am frustrated because I just got my ipad from the Apple store after waiting a month. The video slider won't work and the shutter picture stays on when I try to use the camera.

I would also recommend trying to "force quit" the camera application. To do so, follow these steps:
1. Open up the Camera application.
2. Hold down the power button until you see the "slide to power off" screen.
3. Once the power off screen appears stop holding the power button and hold the home button.
4. This series of actions will force quit the camera application. Relaunch it and see if that fixes it.
Let us know how that goes.

My iphone cant turn off because the number pad popped up and won't go away. what can i do?

HT201272 I just started my iTunes Match on my phone and ipad2 but there was music on my IPad and now it's gone what can I do to recover it?

I just started iTunes Match and the music I had on my ipad 2 is missing some songs I purchased I went to my purchased section but there not in there. I'm not sure what to do next

The first thing that has to be done with a new iPad is to activate it via iTunes. What version of iTunes, and what spec computer, have you got ? The iPad's minimum requirements are (from http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/) :
Mac :
Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
iTunes 10.2 or later recommended
(free download from www.itunes.com/download)
iTunes Store account
Internet access
PC :
PC with USB 2.0 port
Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.2 or later recommended
(free download from www.itunes.com/download)
iTunes Store account
Internet access
Edit : there is troubleshootin here :

HT1766 my iphone just went black and won't turn on what can I do?

Help! My iphone 3gs was working just fine. My granddaughter picked it up and jerked it out of the charger and it went black. I have tried pushing the home & power button together, going to itunes to restore and nothing helps. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks Terri

Did you try any of the reset steps, etc. outlined in some of these forums or pretty much do nothing until it started working again? Also, do you have an iPhone 4 as Sam The AMAZING does?
(I'm desperately grasping straws to figure out whether or not I've exasperated all options and my iPhone is lost forever...)
Thanks, L

HT1492 Start-up disk is full and can't go past the blue screen; can't delete read-only files on single-user mode. Please help.

I have had my Mac mini for about 6 years and I guess it had enough of me (haha), so the start-up disk got full and it shut down before I could empty files on my drive. Unfortunately, all these years I hadn't backed up anything and now I can't access anything since it won't boot past the apple logo (and the blue screen for that matter). I have tried rebooting (holding shift as the mac mini loads), but that didn't help since the start-up disk will still be full and stuck on the blue screen. I am now trying the single-user mode (holding command key+s), and I tried to delete files in the trash bin but all of the files are read-only and access is denied! so I basically can't delete anything on the mac mini (it says "Root device is mounted read-only"). So the key here is to change the permissions but I don't know how to exactly do that. Can someone help me figure this out? (and type the command in the unix language please!!) [ Note: We have two users on this mac mini if that helps.]

Run the following command:
mount -uw /
This isn't a permissions issue.

If you have restored to factory settings and started as new, there is nothing more that you can do on your own. Make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them for help. You might have a hardware problem and the Apple Store techs will be able to determine that.
