If I change my apple id and password on my desktop, will the new id and password be automatically changed in my laptop, my iPad and my iPhone? If not, is there a safe way to consolidate ids, passwords, etc."

Question: Is there a way to consolidate Apple IDs and passwords on my desktop, laptop, ipod, ipad and iphone? I waste too much time trying to remember something different for each device or operation.

This knowledge base article is the AppleID Faq...I recently changed my AppleID password, not the ID iteself, and the passward was synced across all devices.
You cannot consolidate AppleIDs so you have to just establish one that will be used for all activities. And keep in mind, app purchases are tied to the AppleID used for the purchase so updates have to be made using that ID.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It should be here.

I want to change my primary e-mail address that I use with Apple ID - help guide says Select Edit next to "Apple ID and Primary Email Address." But there is no 'edit' on that section there is on every other but not that one. Can anyone help?

You can create an alias @icloud.com email address within your current account that will receive email in your current iCloud inbox (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a). (@me.com addresses are no longer available as new addresses.) Just be aware that you cannot use an alias address later to create a new iCloud account or move it to a different account.
Also, even if you created a new iCloud account with a new ID, your existing purchases would not be lost. They are permanently tied to the original ID you used to purchase them. You can also continue to use the existing ID for the iTunes store; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.

You can't reset it. If you don't konw the password then you can't use that backup

I bought my iPhone 4 locked from USA. I leave in Cyprus and i want to know if there is a way to get it unlocked. Could it be changed to an unlocked one with a fee paid to apple.

If you purchased the phone from a person, you need to find out which carrier they used and go to them to see if the will unlock it. If you purchased it from a carrier, give them a call to see what they will do.
Just like atlantabrave said...Apple does not unlock phones.

Apple mail and email accounts do not open in Yosemite

I have recently found the problem that I open the Apple Mail app and nothing is functional. When I try to edit account settings it doesn't let me access those. I want to reinstall mail app or at least update its settings. I read in some blog that yosemite "guesses" and changes your prefered account settings so I wonder if that is the cause after I backed up my emails recently I had loads of messages asking for my passwords, which never happened in Mavericks.
Does anyone have a clue what I can do? Solve it through time machine? Would I delete the app and reinstall it?
Thank you for any help out there.

start your mac in safe mode and try to open mail and check your accounts
Starting up in “safe mode” may help you diagnose problems you’re having with your Mac.
Note: To print these instructions, open Help Viewer’s Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear), then choose Print.
Shut down your Mac and wait 10 seconds.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key.You should press the Shift key as soon as possible after you hear the startup tone, but not before.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator (spinning gear).
To leave safe mode, restart your Mac normally without holding down any keys during startup.

Hello. I have an iphone 5s and i can not activate imessage nor facetime. I followed all the steps provided by the apple page and still i can not make it connect. The phone is connected to wifi at all times and has ios 8.

Can you send SMS by using the mobile data network instead of Wi-Fi? I had the same problem setting up my 5s from a backup of my 4s. Only after I sent an SMS via mobile data network, somehow iMessage and FaceTime got activated a couple of minutes later without me doing anything else.
I even changed my Apple ID password, because at one point I could not log into my account when iMessage asked for my account details.

My wife and I each have an apple computer and an iPhone. Setting them up with the iCloud put us on the same account. I take a lot of photos on job sites and she takes her own photos we have to scan though each others photos to find our own. How do I separate the accounts without one of us losing our own stuff?

Decide which device will be changing accounts. On that device, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll that you want to keep on the device, save them to the camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The device(s) that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iDevice. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, to delete any data that you don't want in each account (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa) you will have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete it.

Is there a safe way to disableversioning

Is there a safe way to disableversioning on a schema with ~100 tables, where both indexes and constraints had length > 26 when versionenabling?
I've tried to use the dbms_wm.alterversionedtable to ajust the indexes and constraints but still have problems in totally disabling versioning.

What are the errors when you call disableversioning? Only commitDDL does not support constraints and index name lengths > 26 characters.
If the tables are related to each other by referential integrity constraints, then you only need to call disableversioning once, by including the entire table set in the procedure call.

Ben

You'll have to get it serviced by Apple, you'll have to pay for the replacement device:
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
Apple - Support - Service Answer Center
You can also search for a 3rd party repair company in the Internet.

I have an IPOD Touch and I need to know if there is a way to get the songs stored on the touch into my computer in I-Tunes.

Hey Zafer Pasha,
It sounds like you want to update the Apple stores and services that you've used with your previous Apple ID name with your secondary Apple ID. Check out the steps in this link to make sure that each store or service is using your current, desired Apple ID:

HT204074 i just got a replacement phone from Asurion because my iphone 4s had issues, i tried to dl music from apple itunes and it keeps telling me that there is another id associated with this device and i have to wait 45 days to associate mine, is there

i just got a replacement phone from Asurion because my iphone 4s had issues, i tried to dl music from apple itunes and it keeps telling me that there is another id associated with this device and i have to wait 45 days to associate mine, is there a way around this problem or do i have to actually wait?

Either wait it out or contact Asurion and complain. They sent you a used phone as JB said above. There is nothing anyone here or at Apple can do about it.
