I'm afraid that you may be confusing two different 'passwords' - there's your Apple ID (the user name and password that you used to get into these forums) and then there's your computer user name and password - usually two seperate user names and passwords.
If you want to change your password for your user account on your computer, go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and unlock the preference pane. Then you can select your user name and change your password there. Changing a user name is a bit complex and I don't think you want to try that!

    Icloud says my Apple Id is valid but it will not accept it to access Icloud

    If the messages says that it is a valid Apple ID but not an iCloud ID, it's becaure you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC.  You can only create the account on an iOS device or Mac (running Lion or Mountain Lion).  After creating the account, you can then sign in with the ID on your PC, but you can't create the account on a PC.

  • HT1918 My account is asking me for my security code on my credit card, but it will not accept the code as valid?  Not sure what to do?

    I am trying to purchase an app on a new iPad we have purchased.  I'm asked to put in my security code on my credit card for security reasons, but it will not accept my code as valid.  Not sure how to proceed.

    Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
    If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorisations have the correct information on file.
    And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • TS1702 I have an iPad 1. I went to do an update on GarageBand and iBooks but it will not update. How do I return it to the original version?

    Well, to paraphrase the old line, "What're you gonna believe, that email or your own lying eyes?"
    The first thing I'd recommend trying is to power down your iPad (press & hold Sleep/Wake until the red OFF slider appears, then slide it to shut down), and then boot it back up and try again. You're resetting a bunch of state signals by doing that and this simple action (the first of a series recommended by Apple in your Users Guide) will quite often clear up these sorts of problems.

    Where are you trying to get Flash Player from? Downloading is different from installing but many malicious websites offer to supply Flash Player as a means of installing malicious software and gathering personal information (e.g., passwords). You should get Adobe Flash only from Adobe and this link lets you download the full installer (Mac OS X (Intel) DMG) and run it locally. At that point OS X will ask for your password and if you've been using it successfully for other purposes (e.g., changing some items in System Preferences), it should work there too. Note that once Flash Player is installed, a Preference panel is installed too, and in it you can authorize Adobe to update Flash automatically.

  • I am trying to re-install CS3 after having to replace my Hard drive, but it will not accept my serial

    I am trying to re-install CS3 after having to replace my Hard drive, but it will not accept my serial #. How can I get it to allow me to continue using my software?

    If you had registered your CS3, you can get the serial number from your Adobe account when you log in through the Adobe corporate web site.  Just go to My Products to find it in your account.
    Adobe applications show you a truncated s/n to discourage software piracy.  Legitimate Adobe s/ns have 24 digits.

    Not only this but I can't drag from Itunes and place anywhere on my desktop or onto an external drive. Apple, why are you screwing around with basic functions!? I'm a dj and I need to be able to manage my music files without you ruining my life! FIX THIS!

  • Ihave computer and ipod connected but they will not sync. How do I get them to sync?

    I have my computer and ipod connected but they will not sync. How do I get them to sync.?  I have done the previous action before but now I have a new ipod because my other ipod was stolen.

    Actually this happened to me today and although it would not let me play the file it allowed me to use that same file i had exported from iphotos but could not play and then it allowed me to open it in imovie (you can go to import and then get it from the desktop or wherever) although I made a couple of changes to it the main thing is once you drag it into the space to begin a new project you can then right click and select open in finder and that file actually plays......if its cause i made some changes to it i.e trimmed it slightly then its worth doing so.

    I just updated to XI, but it will not accept the serial number

    Hi there
    If you have purchased an Acrobat XI upgrade you will be prompted to enter the Acrobat XI serial number first then the serial number for the prior version.
    Which serial number isn't being accepted?  Please provide more details and send me a private message with both serial numbers so I can check further.
    Thanks

    Hi tapanb34358563,
    Could you please let me know what error prompts on your screen when you are trying to enter the serial number.
    Have you bought subscription for Acrobat, if yes then you might need to sign in at "adobe.com" using your Adobe ID credentials to activate subscription.
    Let me know.

  • I entered my serial number but it will not accept it

    I've entered my serial number but it will not accept it or tell me its wrong but I got it from Adobe Photoshop CS6

    Point your web browser to adobe.com and sign in the user thes link https://www.adobe.com/account/my-products-services.html the should list your Adobe products.  You should see CS6 there clicking on the CS6 should retrieve and display your CS4 serial number. Make sure the is the number you are using when installing CS6.   If you have a subscription for Creative cloud you should also see that listed in your Adobe Products in that case use Photoshop CS6 menu Help>Activate use the same Adobe User id and Password that hast the subscription during the activation process. Not serial number is used for Creative Cloud software  your sign in should activate you products.
