I just got a new iPhone and have reset my iCloud password 3 times on my computer but each time i try to enter on my new phone it does not recognize.

Any thoughts on how to fix this?

To be clearer, i just got a new phone and have reset my iCloud password three times on my PC but it is not taking on my phone.

I just bought a mac and have never used one. I need help.

i have no idea what i am doing. I have always used a pc. now i have a mac mini.

Stedman1 has posted a great link. I strongly recommend against the Mac for Dummies. At some point the Dummy books began to believe they were for dummies rather than for newbies. The Missing Manual series is very good. If you were a comfortable Windows users the book I recommend is Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Mavericks Edition because it will build on what you already know and understand. Otherwise just get the OS X Mavericks: The Missing Manual version.

I have an iPhone 3gs, it was set up with itunes on a Windows pc. I now want to transfer everything from the iPhone to my iBook G4

Yes for contacts and calendars, and the same for all iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded form the iTunes store.

How do I delete an existing iCloud account and transfer everything to my new one?

I have 2 iCloud accounts that now need extra storage... I only need 1 account. I ended up purchasing a plan for more storage on the 1st one and then my phone would no longer back up because it's running on the other account... Now it needs more storage! Can you help me delete the one I don't use and make this all better?

Welcome to the Apple community.
When you delete the account from your device, you will be given the opportunity to save Safari data, reminders, calendars and contacts to your device, which you can later merge with the other account once you login.
You won't be able to save your photo stream photos in the same way, so if you have any photo stream photos that are not already in your camera roll, you should move them there before you delete your account.
Your iWork documents can be saved to iTunes on your device, but if you have them on a Mac they would be much easier to save to your desktop there. You can move them back after you switch.
Notes can be shared to messages or mail and copy and pasted back after the switch. Although if you have a Mac, you may find it easier to do there. You could also use a temporary secondary account (see last item) to log into both accounts and copy and paste directly into your other account.
You can set up Mail forwarding at iCloud.com mail preferences (little gear icon-bottom left) to receive mail from your old address to your new one.
As an alternative to just switching, you might consider switching and adding your previous account back as a secondary account at settings > mail, contacts, calendars. You would still need to move your photos and iWork documents and save your safari data, but you'd have access to your old mail, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes.

I have just bought an Ipod and have set up the i cloud. That seems to have worked, now i am trying to do the ipod match so this music is transferred to my ipod. I have gone into settings/ music as instruted but there is no option for it! pls help!

Please see question in heading and let me know why I can't use Ipod match on my new ipod touch. Thanks.

Have you subscribed to iTunes match in iTunes on a computer under the same Apple ID used on the iPod?

TS1372 I have an ipod classic 160gb have already tried all the steps with no success. I have just bought this ipod and have had it for less than a week before this happened. what is wrong with my ipod and how can i fix it?

brand new ipod classic 160gb will not restore. have tried all steps with no fix. Also tried steps on a different computer with same results. anu help?

if you own a mac try to re format the disc to journal.
If you are on a windows like me, try to reformat the disc to NTFS. Then it will display that you need to restore as the ipod is in recovery mode. It restored with success. and voila, brand new working ipod.

I do not know my security questions and would like to get new ones how do I do that?!

HT202297 I just bought an ipad3 and I was wondering if anyone knows how to have my reminders displayed in my calendar? If it not possible on the iPad , is it possible on the iphone4s? if not, than does anyone know of any apps that make it convenient to do

I just bought an ipad3 and I was wondering if anyone knows how to have my reminders displayed in my calendar? If it not possible on the iPad , is it possible on the iphone4s? if not, than does anyone know of any apps that make it convenient to do so?

That's only for the iPhone 5. On the 4 and 4S, they can repair the back glass in store for $30. They will not replace the display on a 4 or 4S. They must replace the entire phone. Replacing the display on them requires disassembling the entire phone, which they will not do in store.

I have a iPhone 5 and mini ipad which I bought unlocked in the UK. I have just moved to singapore and have been told the iPhone won't accept a sim here as the phone is locked to the UK. Any ideas how to unlock. Will this be the same for my ipad?

I have an iPhone 5 and mini ipad which I bought in the UK Unlocked. I have just moved to Singaporen and have been told that my iPhone won't accept a sim as the phone is locked to the UK. Any ideas how to unlock as apple say they can't do it. Will I have the same problem with my ipad?

Unless you purchased the iPhone direct from Apple in the UK and paid full price either on line or In an Apple Store then it will be locked to a UK Carrier and only that carrier can arrange unlocking
It is unlikely that the iPad is similarly locked as most are sold carrier free unless specifically purchased from a UK carrier as part of a packaged deal involving a subsidy on the price of the iPad ( not very likely but they do exist )

I have an iphone and have just bought an ipad, the apps i have paid for will they be free to download on my ipad

i have an iphone and have just bought an ipad, the apps i have paid for on my iphone will they be free to download or sync to my ipad?

One thing you may notice when you do install them on the iPad, is they are not optimized for the higher resolution screen on the iPad versus the iPhone. You can still use them, but you may want to search the app store and see if there is a HD or iPad optimized version (although you may have to buy that as most such apps are not free upgrades, but separate purchases).
