Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your mobile device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another device or computer.

What happens when you try to sync? Do you see any error messages? Which software on the computer are you referring to, iTunes? The latest iTunes is 11.1.3. If you cannot update the phone due to lack of storage, you will need to delete some content from the phone.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

I locked my iphone because I entered password too many times

I locked my iphone because I entered password too many times. The message I get is ( iphone is disabled- connect to itunes

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the iPhone from the computer to which the iPhone is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

HT1212 I am unable to update to Itunes because I cannot enter password on my iphone 5;

I seemed to have turned on the "voice over" in the settings of my iphone 5 and now it has voice over and does not let me unlock the phone to change it to where it was.

Cannot enter password into Windows 8.1 login screen

I hve brand new Pavilion 15-P016AX notebook, runnign Windows 8.1.
I have not used it, simply gone through the user setup and connected to th internet. I assume some HP and/or Windows updtes have probably installed themselves in the meantime, but that would be the only change from the factory settings.
On power-up, the first screen which comes up is the standard scren with a clock and the date. I click on this screen and a second screen appears, asking for my login password.
I can click in to the password box, but any typing on the keyboard does not result in any entry to the password box. No asterisks appear at all.
All other icons on this page are active, however. Even the icon (the right facing arrow) to submit the password is active. I can submit the password, and I am told I have entered the wrong password. Other icons like the on/off icon are also active.
Now, if I put the notebook into sleep mode, then awaken it, the same startup routine happens, but this time I can enter the password and log on.
The onyl solution I can find is to disable passwords on my account, however I would prefer to have password protection.
Any ideas?

I unplug the keyboard from it's USB socket, then re-plug it into the same, or another USB socket. This always works for me. The problem only occurs during approx20% of my login attempts seemingly at random. I bought new keyboard but this made no difference. I have a "power on" password set (in the BIOS) on my computer. There is never a problem typing this. The problem only occurs at the Windows login screen. I understand that this problem has been around since Windows XP. Maybe Windows 10 will fix it - or maybe it won't.
I have an HP computer running Windows 8.1 that is set up to install updates automatically.

HT1212 My IPod Touch is locked & I cannot enter password or even slide to unlock. Is there a way to correct this. It also says I can try again after 23 million or so minutes.

My granddaughter had not used her Ipod Touch for a few weeks & when she attempted to turn it on it was locked w/ a message indicating the Ipod touch was disabled & to try again in 23 million + minutes. I cannot even attempt to unlock it as the slid function does not work. Are there any ideas as to how to reset or correct this problem?

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

IOS 6.0.1 iphone 3gs cannot enter passcode after reboot

With iOS 6.0.1 installed on my iphone 3gs (A1303), the first enter passcode screen that appears after a reboot (power off, then power on) will not allow a passcode to be entered.
Workaround: turn off (not power off), then turn back on. The second time the enter passcode screen is displayed after power on, it accepts a passcode.
This must be a bug in iOS 6. How can a bug that requires zero steps after power on get through Apple QA?

So, was there a tech support question that, we, the other users on the forum could help you with?

Cannot enter password for the super user in the terminal

Title says it all. Trying to get access to the super user to do some stuff with the terminal that requires a super user, but when i type in 'su' and it prompts me for the password, it wont let me type it in. I'm the admin and noone else uses this computer

Trying to get access to the super user to do some stuff with the terminal that requires a super user, but when i type in 'su' and it prompts me for the password, it wont let me type it in.
First, you should be using sudo instead of su. Second, the password won't appear in the Terminal while being typed, not even as bullets.
