Is my mac accout password the same for iCloud?
It would be the same password for anything you do with the same Apple ID. The following quotation is from https://appleid.apple.com
An Apple ID is your user name for everything you do with Apple: Shop the iTunes Store, enable iCloud on all your devices, buy from the Apple Online Store, make a reservation at an Apple Retail Store, access the Apple Support website, and more.

Currently have ipod touch 4 and am getting iphone 5c this weekend. Currently our family has several apple devices and they have the same apple ID for itunes and it is the same ID that we use for icloud. I want to set up a separate icloud ID so that it is only on my new device. I still want to keep the same apple ID for purchases. Can I do this and better yet when do I do this...before the purchase, after the purchase and backing up of data. Where do I go to create a new one?
Figured it out. Thanks.

On opening iCal I get a message: iCal cannot log in to your "Yahoo" acc't yor passwor may be incorrect. When I enter my password , the same message re appears. The password work fine to access you Yahoo account. What do I do?
I use only support.mozilla.org and never used any other websites. However, the same problem here. My ID and Password are not accepted. Had to create a new account with a temporary email to use Support - it would not allow me to use my main email, because "it is used by another account". Try to reset password - receive no email (even though there is a confirmation on the website that email to reset password has been sent). At the same time can easily receive a confirmation about User ID and account activation. Thus, the account is completely locked, and I can not use my email address for a new one. Please fix this problem.

can i change my email address on icloud account on phone? to email i used on new mac ?? do they need to be the same for optimal use?
Yes the Apple ID is the thing that ties your devices to you and shares your information and content between them.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

We have developed a desktop application using Flash software and published the same for MAC environment. When we double click on the index.app file, the application is working perfectly in Mac 10.6.7 at our office. But if the same index.app file is double clicked in Mac 10.6.7 at out clients location, its not opening. For your information the client is able to open this same application by double clicking on index.swf file. The main problem is that client is not able to open the application using index.app file at their office whereas we are able to do so at our office. Can anyone give some suggestions to sort this problem?
The most common reason is different versions of Flash, or different versions of web browsers used. Some users may elect to not have Flash installed at all because of the processor overhead of Flash. If you are going to make an application for a client, check what operating system and browser versions they are using first. Then determine if a stand alone application is required, or if they have the necessary plugins to run specific browser enhanced code.
P.S. MAC is an acronym for Media Access Control. Mac is the shorthand for Macintosh, the operating system and computers made by Apple Inc. -
I bought a Mountain Lion upgrade for $20 off the Apple site. I have four other Macs all under the same ID. How can I share the new OS with other computers. Or can I?
You can share it with other Macs under your control (not your neighbor's). You just need to be logged in under the buying AppleID for updates or to download again.
Use this thread to find a method of copying the ML download into a USB drive to make other installations easier: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16639520#16639520 -

Is iWork soon to be the same for iOS and Mac
I have a Macbook White 2009. I was looking in the MacApp Store and I noticed that iWork and Microsoft apps cost the same. I wanted to know which are better? I also noticed that iWork has different prices for a Mac and for an iPad because they don't have the same features. Is there any chance that iWork will be the same for Mac and iOS in the near future?. About a week ago I had to install a new operating system and everything was erased, among those apps were Microsoft Word, Powerpoint and Excel. I no longer have the CD to install the apps, do you think I can ask the Apple Store to install them for free? Thank you.
Since Mac OS X and iOS are two different platforms, it's not really possible for the applications to be the same. They may have the same or at least similar functionality, however.
The Apple stores will not install software that you do not have the media for. You can purchase MS Office 2011 Home and Student Edition from Microsoft online for download very inexpensively - about $140.
Best of luck. -
No IP address, everytime I'm close to my mums mac running off the same wifi, it's giving me this error. I can trouble shoot for about 3 mins and fix it, but it just keeps happening and I need a permanent fix for it. Any help?
this is what you need to do to exclude everything apart from desktop.
on time machine preferences, click on Options
click plus sign, on the new window, click macintosh HD
do a Control + A then deselect users then click okay
go to options again, plus sign, go to users, control +A then deselect your user account
go to options again, plus sign, go to your user account, control + A, deselect desktop
start the back up. -
My email (sign-in) and password for iTunes is different than my email (sign-in) and password for iCloud. How do I change my sign in and password so they are the same for both iTunes and iCloud without losing my iTunes content?
Hey Lakedrive442,
It sounds like you have changed your Apple ID which you use with iTunes. If so there are several places you may need to update it as outlined in this article.

Of course some might not apply, but many might.
Thank you for thinking of Apple Support Communities for your support needs.

Wanting to deactivate PS Elements on Mac and transfer program to a friend. Is it OK to download a trial to my friend's Mac and use my serial number. Also is the serial number the same for Mac and Win versions? Many thanks.
Yes it should work transferring PSE10 from Mac to Mac. There is a download link below for PSE10, which your friend could use. There is a formal licence transfer process but it’s not necessary for your friend to register the product (activation is sufficient) although he couldn’t benefit from future upgrade pricing without registration. Serial numbers typically can only be registered one time.
Boxed versions of PSE are normally multi-platform with disks for both Windows and Mac; so the serial number is the same. Downloads have tended to be single platform only although I believe the current version PSE12 will work on both Windows and Mac with the same serial number – boxed or download.

Is my iTunes password the same as my Apple password?
Is my iTunes password the same as my Apple password?
Thanks. I had already tried this. All my devices know only my @mac.com ID and they autofill for that. This includes iTunes on my computer, iPad, and the SETTINGS on the iPhone. It is only the iTunes Store App on the iPhone that insists on the other obscure ID.
I continued messing around with it last night and at some point the Store App on phone suddenly gave me a link to reset the password. (By the way, it did not know my birthday, so I had to the the email notification.) Anyway, I reset the password to one I would know, and now have been able to update the phone apps.
I also consulted the Store customer service. I have responded to that message thus:
Thank you for your detailed reply.
The odd thing about this problem is that the Apple ID account in the iPhone's SETTINGS for the store does not match the Apple ID that the Store App is using directly.
I would like for the Store to change to the @mac ID that I use everywhere else. There does not seem to be an interface for me to cause this myself.
The workaround that I stumbled upon is to reset the password for the account the Store is using. This was a VERY OBSCURE link. So I now have been able to update the apps.
However, I do not consider the basic problem actually solved. -
How can multiple Mac users have the same iTunes?
I have a MacBook, and my wife and I have separate accounts on it. It's easier that way for separate Facebook accounts, email, etc. However, it's complicated when it comes to iTunes and applications. We both want to use the same iTunes library. We have iTunes Match, but I'd rather not re-download my entire library when it's already on my computer just so we both have access to it. I tried following the directions at this article, but it didn't work. So, how can both my wife and I, from different accounts on the same Mac (and using the same Apple ID) access the same iTunes library and have any changes reflected on both accounts?
Obviously, if you just need to copy those iTunes folders, you don't need the ability to write; just the ability to read, which you already have.
Besides, the /Users/Shared folder is indeed an excellent location for a shared iTunes library; I hadn't yet considered that. Ignore all the above instructions. First, make sure your two iTunes libraries are in sync. Use an external hard drive (or mess with permissions) to do what copying you need to. Then go into iTunes and iTunes>Preferences...>Advanced and change the iTunes Media folder location to /Users/Shared. All of your iTunes content should be copied (or moved) into /Users/Shared.
After that, do the same thing in the other account, and both your iTunes libraries will now be pointed to the same location. -
How to sync 2 different Mac users using the same Apple ID and with out mixing each other info?
How to sync 2 different Mac users using the same Apple ID and with out mixing each other info?
We are two people using three difrent Macs, 1 Iphone and 1 Ipad with separate USERS on each Mac but sharing the same Apple ID: xxxxxx
I set up the first user to iCloud and it was OK but when I set up the second user to use iCoud the first users's info gets mixed with the second user's info?
Do we have to set up a diffrent Apple ID for each other?
Sometime ago I added my friends E mail (yyyyy) to the main Apple ID (xxxx) as for using his E mail account (to separate our e mail accounts, and it's working ok) but now when I try to create a new apple ID whith the same friend's e mail (yyyyyy) it says that his mail (yyyyy) is already an apple ID when the Apple ID is really my E mail (xxxxx)... any clue?
ThanksI believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered

Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
