Idea Exchange - Show Random Old Ideas?

There really are a lot of ideas now on the exchange. I think that some really good ideas get buried in the stack before some of us get a chance to see them.
Maybe it would be useful if there were a section under Active called "Random" or something that would show a page of random ideas. There probably should be some filters/rules such as it needs at least one kudos, has been viewed under a certain number of times in the last week, is at least n weeks old, is not currently listed in another Active section, etc.
A lot of Wikis have a feature that will show a random page. Just a thought.

I think that's an excellent idea. I know I've seen all the ideas because I went and read them all while the list was still small, and have kept up on reading all the new ideas and comments as they've come in. I think if anybody started following and reading through them now, it would be overwhelming because the list as grown so dramatically. I think there are a lot of ideas out there that have low kudo totals that should naturally be higher, but it is because they are old enough that the only people who had seen them have been following for a long time. I think that is why you see a number of duplicate ideas as well. A good idea comes up again, but the original new idea is long buried, and the new idea person either fails to search, or the search mechanism fails them in trying to find whether the idea already exists.

Hi, I just synched my iphone4s to new iphone6. Majority of photos in iCloud still show on old phone (4s). i6 phone is not loading most of them from iCloud. Any idea why?

You cannot do anything to effect the Photo Stream except delete photos. Photo Stream automatically loads photos that you take as you take them into the Photo Stream. It then removes anything over 30 days old automatically.

The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
1. You don't own another Mac.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
2. You do own another Mac.
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
Once booted in Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
3. Other issues
If you see a lock screen when trying to boot from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information.

I recently changed my e-mail address and have made the changes in my Apple account. But when I try to purchase an app from the App Store on my ipad, the sign in cue still shows my old e-mail address rather than my new one.

Hi there. I am having difficulty buying apps from the App Store. I recently changed my e-mail associated with my apple account. when i try to purchase an app, the cue to sign in does not show my new e-mail, but still shows my old e-mail. when I put in my password, it does not work because my password is no longer associated with the old e-mail address. i don't understand why my old e-mail still shows up. Can someone help me?

My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it.

My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it. My password doesn't work with the old email address. When I look for my old email address in the Apple ID support area it says that the ID doesn't exist. Help!!!

You have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated credentials. This deletes the account and your synced data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a different account, your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

I changed my Apple ID on all my devices and services but iCloud still shows my old Apple ID. How can I get it to update?

I asked the Apple Tech support people and their advice worked for me, it's a setting on the iPad itself. see below.
Follow the below instructions to sign in with your new account name.
1) From the home screen, tap Settings
2) Tap Store
3) Tap Sign Out
4) Tap Sign In
5) Enter your current account name "xxxx" and your password and tap OK.
If you are still unable to change the sign in name on your iPad, please sign into your account on your computer and then sync the iPad so the changes will be updated.
good luck

I changed my Appleid online yesterday because the old one was based on an email address that is no longer active. My phone still shows the old Appleid and will not let me access APP store etc. How can I get the phone to accept the new ID?

I channged my Appleid at appleid.com and now the phone stills shows my old id and will not let apps that require id/password prompts work.

Just scroll to the bottom of the screen in the store, log out and then login with the new ID.
As long as you changed it from the manage account option at https://appleid.apple.com/ (ie. replaced the primary email address with a new one), then all your old purchases should be fine.

How do I change my Apple ID on my iMac. It is showing an old ID in System Preferences/Internet Accounts and System Preferences/iCloud

My iPhone, iPad and iMac Safari access to the Apple Store and iCloud are fine and accept my new Apple ID. Mail constantly prompts me for a password with a box that shows my old Apple ID. I'm guessing that somewhere on the iMac I can change or delete the old Apple ID? It's not in the Keychain.
iMac OS X 10.10
Mail 8

Thanks Eric. If I try, I get a box with the statement:
Your iCloud account couldn't be removed at this time.
Mail was unable to delete [email protected] (It just shows this as normal black type without the email envelope) Relaunch Mail then sign our of iCloud again.
It shows an OK box.
The Apple ID shown is of course, the old one, that I am trying to change on the iMac. On my iPhone, iPad, the Apple Store and iCloud via safari, only my new Apple ID is shown.
I tried to insert an image of this scenario but I couldn't insert the chosen 138KB tiff image.

How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot get the music off it.

How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot access any of the old music. All I can find are what was on my iPhone, but that's not what I want. I need all my old music from my old Mac, which has been wiped clean by IT at my old job. BUT, I did have iCloud at that time and I thought all my music would be accessible through it. I don't understand the Cloud! And I'm thinking spending $24.99 on iTunes Match was a waste of money because I still can't access my old music.

When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
Good luck & happy computing!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.
