need to know how to reset an old apple id password when the process to rest sends the instructions to a email address but its not there when i go to the email inbox.
Hi, cameo557.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are receiving a prompt for an old Apple ID when attempting an update. You cant attempt to reset that password for the Apple ID via the steps in the first article below. If you need assistance with this or are not receiving the email, see the second attached article. You can also delete the applications in question and download them again with your new Apple ID. However, this will cause any application data in those applications to be deleted and you may be charged if these are paid for applications.

if your computer does not support the operating system you wish to install in bootcamp then you have to use a virtual machine like virtual box to install the operating system you wish to install

When I try to save a document a message comes up saying "Couldn't auto-save document." How can I fix this? Thank you for your help! - Chip
This is a mean one. I don't have time to try and find the cause, but at least some answers to your questions, to hopefully shed some more light on this.
Where was the original destination? iCloud folder.
On another drive? Tried to Save as... to Hard Drive (also changing name of file), always get the same non-descript short Error "Couldn't auto-save document." (slides down from top with a yellow warning triangle). Status to the right of document name is "Not Saved".
Another Server? No access at this time.
I also tried File, Revert to, Browse all versions, to check what I'd be losing. Saw I wasn't losing much and selected the last version and pressed Restore - same error. In the end I just quit Pages and re-opened. The document opened with the last few edits missing (but with the status "Edited" next to the name). I re-edited and could save. Good old habit of saving often. -
When I try to update an App I am getting my old email address (which no longer works) and when I put in its password it says password or username is wrong. but it does not give me an option to put in my new user name. How can I correct this.
What you are getting is the AppleID (AppleID can be an email adress) used at the time of the purchase of this app. It is an identifiant allowing Apple to link your purchase to your account.
If you want to manage associated email, you can go at https://appleid.apple.com but the AppleID could never be modified.
I do not know if in your case, it is just that you no longer use your old email address or that you actually a 2 AppleID. In any case, you will have to remember the password related to the account used for your purchase. If you don't, just use the link above to try to retreive your password. -

I have an iMac 13.1 with Yosemite (10.10), 2.7 Ghz intel core i5, 1 TB of storage and 8 GB of memory. Keychain does not always pop up when I am filling out a form or credit card number. How do I fix this?
That indicates that you are using an add-on that is not compatible with Firefox 4. For details of how to troubleshoot this to find out what one is causing the problem see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
The AVG Safe Search add-on has caused this for some, if you have that one try disabling it. -
my desk top icon for firefox will not start firefox when i click on it. i now have to right click and than click open.
Try to create a new desktop shortcut for the Firefox program by going to the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) and use the right-click context menu (Send to > Desktop) on the Firefox.exe file.

When clicking on a pdf file it does not open and then it opens hundreds of tabs. The only way to stop it is to shut off the computer.
You probably have an incorrect action type set for pdf files, it will be set to "use Firefox" rather than using a pdf application such as Adobe Reader. For details of how to fix this see the "Change the action for a content type" section of https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+keeps+opening+many+tabs+or+windows

i am trying to sync and back up my phone but it never works, so i tried to restore my back up but a message is telling me that an error occured so it does not work. It caus me a problem because i won't stop receive messages telling me that my iPhone as no space available even if i have deleted a lot of things.. help me please!
It might be the battery, it sure sounds as though it could be. What happens if you leave it to charge, does the charging symbol show, does the battery icon show full, part full or empty at any time?
If you check here; https://locate.apple.com/uk/en/ and enter your postcode in the Service box, you should see the options available to you from Apple and its Authorised Service Providers. They can advise you about the battery and you should be given the cost before you commit to spending your dosh! -

Mail app marked an email as junk, missed job opportunity. How can I fix this?
I pipe my school email to my gmail account, which I use the mail app to view. It usually works nicely, but I was going through my junk folder and noticed I missed a job opportunity because mail app sent it to junk. This has never happened before. I am so frustrated now, and I just want to fix it, or if its a bug, blame it on somebody lol. But seriously, this is unacceptable. I'm out of a much needed job now. Please help before I lose another one!
Maybe you just need to go to Mail > Preferences > Junk and do some more serious configuring, perhaps using the Advanced options, or at minimum, leaving Junk in your Inbox. Anyway, without seeing the email, it's hard to know why it may have been sent to Junk in the first place--too many links, maybe. (Sorry this happened to you though!)

Clicking on a weblink in an Outlook email fails to open the website in Firefox even when the browser is already open. Firefox is set as default browser. There was no problem with this before the latest Firefox update a few days ago.
I have tried changing program defaults to Internet Explorer (email links worked) and then back again to Firefox, but email links still don't work.
