Ijust bought my brand new 21.5" imac computer but i am unable to download, or open almost anything because it asks for a password. When we bought the imac it already had the password and we didnt know it.

i just bought this brand new imac but i am unable to use or download almost anything because it asks for a password. When we bought this computer there was already this password. We did not install it. Also just today we went to a shop to ask for the password n=but they said in it on the little book that tells us how to use the imac. I looked throught that book memorized it but still could not find the password...

Well i am able to go through things, and everything. I dont know quite what that means but you dont need to enter a password to download Adobe Flashplayer. I just did it. wasnt asked. Of course I know the password I set up when I got the computer new but I have never been asked when downloading. When it comes to installing........
If you are being asked BY YOUR MACHINE for a password you do not know it is NOT a new machine.

  • I am unable to download free apps on my iphone, it ask for credit card info why is that needed if the app is free?

    I am unable to download free apps on my iphone,it ask for credit info.When i try to download it's telling me (There is a billing problem with a previous purchase)So i went into my account.It's showing a purchase inside of pokerist.com which i never made.I have a outstanding balance of 33.00 which i do not have.I only use that card to activate my account, that's why the payment didn't go threw.I do not use that account.So please can someone fix my account so i can get my life back.PLEASE

    If you have an existing ID, & you don't want to use a credit card, you'll have to redeem an iTunes gift card. If you don't want to do that, you'll have to create a new ID by following the directions here, EXACTLY:

    You should remove his AppleID and restore it as new.

  • Bought a brand new sealed MBP off ebay but it has build defects, will Apple replace?

    I recently bought a brand new sealed macbook pro from ebay from a top rated seller for £835 which was a good price considering it is was sealed etc. When I opened the box and took a real close look at the machine I noticed a few serious build faults.....
    1. This is the most serious, when the laptop is closed the left side of the laptop is noticeably bent as if its been molded wrong or something, there are no impact marks whatsoever.
    2. The track pad is supposed to be flush but mine dips slightly on the left side which is evident when you look closely and run your finger around the edge of the track pad.
    3. There are two small scratches on the right side of the macbook.
    4. The bottom plate is also supposed to be completely flush with the case but like the track pad mine is defective, it is flush on the right but not on the left.
    One of the main reasons I went for a mbp is because of the reputation for quality, I bought this laptop from a reputable seller who has a very high feedback score and multiple comments from happy users who bought the same laptop I did, so I definitely know he was not selling faulty stock.
    I rang Apple today and they said that they could not offer me a replacement as I bought it from a third party but they made an appointment at a store for tomorrow...
    My question is .... do these defects fall under poor workmanship from Apple and should I be entitled to a replacement. The laptop was literally brand new and the warranty on it was registered on the 16th april by me on the day I received it..... I emailed the seller who then rang me within 20 minutes and he advised me to take it to an apple store and they will replace it as its not something that can be repaired. Please give me some advice. All advice is welcome.
    Thank you for reading

    First of all, if you would have bought that from Apple, you would have got a replacement right away--no questions asked. I just bought a new MacBook Pro and could have got it cheaper off eBay too, but i didn't want to go though a hassle like you are now.
    Apple will repair it. The only way they will replace it, is if they can't get it fixed after 3 repair attempt. Keep all your case numbers. If for any reason you are not satisfied in the end, call Apple Customer Relations and deal with them--not support. Good luck!

  • I need to reset my Apple ID on my ipad.  My internet provider was bought by another company, so my user name changed.  So now, when I go into itunes or the app store, I cannot update anything because it asks for my password, but not my apple id.

    My internet provider changed, so my username changed.  I need to be able to reset my appleid NOT my password.  I can't find a way to do this.  Here is a scenario.  I want to go into the app store to update apps, so a box pops up asking for my password, but shows my appleid as the old name.  I have reset the appleid on my mac and itunes at home and works there, but when I try to go into things on the ipad, it automatically comes up with a window asking for my password, but for my old id name.  I went to the manage your id section, but it won't let me in because it wants the password to the old name.  So I think I need to reregister the ipad with my new userid.  Icloud, Itunes, app store, everything like that won't let me in because they still show the user id as the old name.

    On the iPad - go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap on your old ID and sign out. Then sign in with your changed/new ID.

    Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
            the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Last track on recently purchased album asks for authorisation, I give it, message states I've already authorised the computer.

    I've jut downloaded an album via itunes, the final track on it won't play. When I click on it I'm asked to authorise it. I give the correct password and ID but then am told the computer is already authorised. From what I can see the download works fine. I use my apple account only on this computer (though I have in the past used a previous computer, that hasn't been used to acccess any itunes account for some time).
    Any ideas?

    This can be a symptom of an incomplete download. Delete the current version of that track from your library then redownload it from your purchase history.

    Resetting User Password in Lion and Mountain Lion
    Boot into your Recovery Partition by holding down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
    When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
    In Terminal, type:
    resetpassword
    ...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
    Good luck,

  • I bought a brand new Mac 27" desktop that came loaded with Adobe CS6. Everything worked like a charm until the hard drive, 1Tb, developed a bad sector and the Apple Store reinstalled a new one as I had extended warranty with them. The recycled the drive i

    I bought a brand new Mac 27" desktop that came loaded with Adobe CS6. Everything worked like a charm until the hard drive, 1Tb, developed a bad sector and the Apple Store reinstalled a new one as I had extended warranty with them. They recycled the drive immediately (like a fool I didn't ask for it back to get the data off it.) But luckily I have all my data on CrashPlan. I downloaded it and it worked great except I downloaded it to the desktop and not the original location so it got squirrely. I also have an external 1.5Tb drive that I wanted to make bootable so I installed Mavericks 10.9.3 . I then went ahead and installed it on the newly installed drive too.
    I think that because I have a new drive Adobe thinks I have a news computer. I bought the 27" Mac brand new from Ebay and it came loaded with software, including CS6. I have a serial number for CS6 but Adobe said it wasn't valid. (I have owned CS2, CS4 and now CS6 which came preloaded onto the Mac by the seller who told me that the software was registered to the Mac???
    I am going to re-download the backup but this time to the original location (I still don't think it will work with Adobe. What can I do about this?

  • Bought a brand new iMac, got free Lion upgrade, installed it, NO SOUND

    I went to best buy because I am opening a recording studio and i was sick of dealing with software a driver issues that i was having with Windows. So i bought a brand new iMac, it came factory with snow leopard but i was elligible for the free upgrade to lion, which i downloaded from the app store. I ran installation, and since then i have no audio control, when i go into "sound" settings it shows no audio input or output devices. This is my first time owning a mac so i am very unfamiliar with the operating systems and what not. This is quite frustrating when the main reason i bought this computer was for music and now i have no audio. I bought a Mac so i didnt have to deal with these sorts of issues. haha. if you have any insightful information for me, please shre. thank you.

    Hello:
    Try two things:
    Reset the SMC and PRAM (instuctions in knowledge base articles.
    If that does not help, either take the computer to an Apple strore or call Applecare.  You are within the warranty period so there should be no cost to you at all.

  • HT5925 I have an iCloud email on my iPhone that is now old as hacked and unused. I can't access anything as it asks for that account info and I don't remember the password etc. How do I delete it and replace it with my new iPad email? ! Help..

    I have an iCloud email and Yahoo email on my iPhone that is now old as hacked and unused. I can't access anything as it asks for that account info and I don't remember the password etc. How do I delete and replace it with my new iPad email? ! Help..

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
