I seem to have a lot of Apple IDs. Is there a way to get a list of them and kill them all off until there is just one left?
I can't get on the icloud because my Apple ID is a birthday, password and email that are not mine. How do I fix this?
Welcome to the Apple community.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
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.

I seem to have at least 3 apple IDs Can I merge them into 1?
As said, you cannot merge accounts, nor transfer addresses from one account to another. You can add additional iCloud accounts to your Mac in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars where they will appear alongside the main account. (Also on an iOS device in Settings><Mail, Contacts & Calendars).

Recent software upgrades has changed the way my iPhone syncs with my macbook and items entered on my iPhone are no longer uploaded to my macbook. I've tried to fix it and seem to have made things worse, my iPhone now has a long list of calanders that I don't want and can't delete and nothing is uploading to my macbook.
You need to look at Mac's iTunes, check > System Preferences > iCloud.
If you use iCloud for Calendar, Contacts then turn off those items in iTunes, Info tab with your iPhone connected and selected. -
Does anybody know how I can switch off Lion predictive text or get it to "learn" spellings as it keeps "correcting" my e-mail address ?
You can turn it off in the Language & Text portion of System Preferences under the Text tab. Remove the checkbox from "Correct spelling automatically".

Can I put more than one user under one Apple ID account. I want to let other family members use imessage on their own Apple device. Or is there another way to get this end result?
You can seach the net for solutions like this one http://appletvvpn.com/how-to-connect-apple-tv-2-to-vpn/ another idea is to use a PC as the control and fit that with a wireless card and set up a ad hoc wireless network that the Apple TV uses.

Is there a way to get multiple email accounts on the front page of my iphone instead of just the generic mail icon? Also is there a way to get a different alert sound for each email?
No.

I have a lot of apple purchases on my credit card statement. They're not mine but they could be my daughters. How can I see a list of my itune purchases to cross reference?
Thanks. Sadly I always seem to have trouble following even the simplest and clearest directions.
I went to iTunes>Store. I swear 'view my account' doesn't exist, but i did see 'account'. The drop down menu only listed options to do with orders. No mention of purchases.
I then rang the local apple store and an 'Applette' guided me through the apple website so I could report my problem. Even then, we encountered a button that was invisible to me. It only showed itself in the 'mouse-over' state as my cursor changed into the pointing hand. Sheesh!! Such is my luck.
Anyway, the 'Applette' agreed that it was suspicious that I hadn't received an emailed invoice for any of the contentious purchases. I may well have been hacked. The problem has not been solved but it has been reported.
Thanks again. -
i have lost my iphone and i had a lot of purchased songs on it, is there a way to get them back ?
The good news, if you purchased the music in iTunes, it is linked to your apple id. You can re-download the content at no additional charge (as long as it is still available in the iTunes store).

I have a separate apple id and my daughter bought a song using my ID rather than hers. She was playing on my computer and bought it, thinking it would download to her phone through the cloud. Now I've got this song that I don't care for and have no use for. Is there a way to get it to her ID short of burning it on to CD and then uploading it to her phone?
sure pretty simple. make a backup of your current settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
then import pics to computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
you may need to save pics to camera roll first
then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes
Peace, Clyde -

is there any way to get the server app other than through the app store. The system that I need it on are not connected to the internet.
We run a closed-loop network of apple systems and I tipically downloaded updates on a non-apple system that was on the internet.
Any ideas?I did buy the server app, went to the app store to download it. This system I'm using for downloads is Snow Leopard 10.6.8, it shows that I can download it but only as an Install which says I need 10.8. I can't seem to find a way for it to just download as a package or .dmg file so that I can copy it to DVD/CD or flash drive.

When I am trying to import pictures from my iphone to PC, I get the message'No new pictures of videos were found on this device'. There are lots of pictures which i can see on the iphone. I have a 4S. Is there a way to get around that?
It sounds like you are using an application to import. You can do it manually.
Start > Computer (on the right) > scroll to the bottom and you will see your iPhone under Portable Devices > Open it and you will see a Drive, open that and there will be a DCIM folder. That is where your photos will be (There may be other folders each holding photos). -
I am considering a Apple iMac but would be interested in adding a second monitor. Does it have to be an Apple monitor or can i add any monitor with a thunderbolt cable and DVI or vGA adapter?
I found that the Thunderbolt input accepts the mini-DVI (in my case converter to VGA for a tutorial use monitor)
BUT, you have to really oush it in 'til it clicks. I thought it too loose until I tried it. works just fine!!
i get a solved for my own LOL

I installed Lion and now seem to have problems with Microsoft Silverlight and other plug ins and applications. I haven't ever used time machine to back up (my bad I know). Is there a way to go back to snow leopard with messing up all my files and my set?
Are you using the latest version of Silverkeeper? - v.2.0.2 is stated to be compatible with Snow Leopard.

If it's messing things up you could try asking LaCie Support for assistance. -
I have a lot of files called FILE0001.CHK etc. on my MacBookPro - they cannot be opened and an app search produces no solution. Does anyone know what they are please?
Thanks Charlie and Leroydouglas - apologies for not responding sooner - I am new to the Community and couldn't see how to respond to your queries without 'replying' to myself - hope this works. I do not use Windows on my Mac but it is possible I ran ScanDisk on my previous Windows laptop. Perhaps I have inadvertently brought these files to my Mac?? Can I delete the files or will I be losing something I cannot verify? So appreciate your input - thank you.
Maybe you are looking for
