Lost my remote, now how do I use a new one?

I lost my Apple TV remote. I have another remote from my Mac Mini. How can I use the Mac Mini remote on ATV? What is the procedure?
1. Do I need to unpair it from the Mac Mini first? The ATV and the Mac mini are in different rooms at opposite ends of the house.
2. My ATV is now in screen saver mode and without a paired remote I cannot go to the menu. So, how can I unpair the original remote before I try pairing the new one?
3. To pair the remote, do I just press the Menu+Next/FFW buttons together for 6 secs until I see the linked icon on the screen?

You don't need to unpair it from the mac mini, just unpair the old Appletv remote using the mini's one.

I created a new apple ID for my iPhone, but when i go to activate iCloud (for the first time) it says i need to sign up with my old ID. How do I use my new one?

So I used to share an apple ID with my mom who also has an iphone, but i decided to make my own so that i could set up icloud with my mac. I created my own ID and activated it and all of that, but when i go to activate my iCloud, it tells me to check the email adress of the old ID. How do i activate it with my new ID?

Providing your Apple ID is not a .me or a .Mac address, you can change it with Apple and continue to use your account.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
Once who have done this you can then correct it on your mobile device.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
If however, your Apple ID was a .me or a .Mac address, then you will need to create a new account, follow the instructions above for deleting your account on your mobile device and then tap the "create Apple ID" button to create a new account.

Let us know how this works for you.
Also, are you positive the battery in your Apple TV remote is good?
Never hurts to check or ask.

Lost my iP 3G - How do I use iP 2G until iP 4 is here and keep all my data?

Lost my iP 3G - How do I use iP 2G until iP 4 is here and keep all my data?
Ok so this is a bit complicated - I left my iPhone 3G in a cab last weekend and unfortunately it's lost for good. I still have my original iPhone 2G and have already went to AT&T for a new Sim Card. I want to use the old phone until the iPhone 4 is out in 2 weeks..... My question is how do I Restore/Back Up/Sync the old iPhone so I can retrieve all the information from my lost 3G and not lose any of the data. I know a lot of the newest software (3.1.3) is not supported on the old iPhone. In addition, how do I make sure that I am able to transfer all the origninal data from my lost 3G, as well as all the new data that I acquire on the iPhone 2G i'm using now onto the new iPhone 4 when I get one in a few weeks???
Very confusing I know, I just want to make sure all my data is safe and I don't make a blockheaded mistake of erasing some or any of it.....
Thanks to all you iPhone geniuses out there willing to provide feedback!!!

Well thank you for knowing the Terms of Use like it was your job Mr. Ian Parkinson. Forgive me for being the only person ever to sign up on here that simply clicked through to agree to terms without reading everything line by line. Yes I have only a handful of posts, I simply had a single question that I assumed would be answered quickly if I posted it into similar categories. It's too bad I couldn't have consulted with you first, the All Knowing and All Great Oz who has memorized the entire Terms of Use and has 6,000 posts on here..... I am simply not worthy in your presence, please strike me down with a fireballs from your eyes and bolts of lightning from your arse!

I lived in the US for a few years, spent a fortune on iTunes [my then local Apple ID account]. Now I live in South Africa and want to use Match. I have a local credit card but how do I use my new / 2nd Apple ID and gain access to all my US music??

You have to be in a country to use its store - you will need to be in the US and have a US billing address on your account to be able to use the US store (that applies to buying and redownloading).
You can use iTunes Match in South Africa, do you not have a backup copy of all of your US iTunes purchases so that you can subscribe to it and upload those that aren't in the South African store to it ?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You cannot download a backup from iCloud, the only way to access it is to restore to the backup with your new phone, which you should have done when you first connected it. If you restore now, you will lose all the new information you have added to your new phone.

HT1660 i have two independent itunes libraries on my computer right now. how do i consolidate them into one library? how do i get rid of duplicate files?

i have two independent itunes libraries on my computer right now. how do i consolidate them into one library? how do i get rid of duplicate files?

Hello rmunsey,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you have two separate iTunes Libraries but would like to add the music from one to the other to have one consolidated library.
If you know where the files are for each library, I recommend opening one iTunes Library in iTunes and importing the files from the other library using the following steps:
Open iTunes
From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
MacAdd to Library
Windows
Add File to Library
Add Folder to Library
Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
Adding music and other content to iTunes

Next, you can search for duplicates:
Choose View > Show Duplicate Items to show duplicate items (matches are based on the song name and artist). If you have multiple versions of the same song (for example, live and studio versions, or versions from different albums) you can hold the Alt or Option key (for Mac OS X) or the Shift key (for Windows) and choose View > Show Exact Duplicate Items. This will show only duplicate songs having the same name, artist, and album.

This should help you identify the duplicates all at one time so that you can delete the extra versions of songs.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I lost my key for Adobe x, how do I get a new one?

I installed Win 8.1 on my computer and Now need to reinstall Adobe X. I lost my key, how do I get a new one?

The serial number, you mean? That's kind of an expensive thing to lose. If you registered, it will be in your account info on Adobe's web site. Hope you did, good luck!

I lost my macbook pro and i just got a new one. how can i retrieve the pictures taken with photo booth(old laptop) to my new laptop?

i lost my macbook pro and i just got a new one. how can i retrieve the pictures taken with photo booth(old laptop) to my new laptop?

Well if you don't have the laptop to get the storage drive out of it, and you don't have any previous backups how do you expect to get the photo's?
PhotoBooth is just a program, it stores the files on the computers storage drive, if the computer is lost so are your photo's.
There is nothing you can do to delete or retrieve them using your new computer unless you stored them online someplace.
DId you save them online? iDisk or something else?
I don't use such services because my data is mine and not theirs to snoop through, so if your looking for that sort of help I can't assist you any.

How can I use a new computer without deleting everything on iPod?

Hey Guys
I need a bit of help.
My old computer died, it was running Windows XP. I've got myself a new computer running Windows 7.
I have a copy of my iTunes folders from my old computer (taken 2 days before it died)
How can I use a new computer without deleting everything on iPod touch?
I've imported all the folders (music, apps etc) into the new computer's iTunes, but when I sync my iPod
I receive a window asking if i want to sync i need to erase and replace with the iTunes library on the computer.
I particularly don't want to do this.
My wife also uses my iTunes for her iPhone.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Backup. Then restore the iPod from that backup and sync as necessary.
