.mac family pack. Why can't I change these addresses any more?

I bought a family pack years ago and set up email addresses for family members and one for a vacation rental we had. We no longer own the vacation rental and I want to delete that account and set up a new .mac address for what we are now doing? I used to have to pay for the email accounts. Are they now free?

There is no DotMac or MobileMe any more. Each of your Family Pack accounts should have been migrated individually to iCloud, but even if you didn't do that you should be able tro re-enable the addresses (though not access any previous contents) by signing in in System Preferences>iCloud.
You cannot delete Apple IDs or iCloud accounts, but if the account you refer to wasn't migrated it's not active anyway. You cannot re-use the address in another account, and though you can set up new iCloud accounts you cannot create @mac.com addresses, only @icloud.com addresses. There is no Family Pack facility in iCloud.
iCloud is free at basic level with 5GB storage; you can purchase extra storage if you wish.

  • Why can't I send multiple texts any more? I am on iphone 5 and it is only allowing me to send messages to 10 people at once! Previously on iphones 3 and 4s I could send to many more.

    Why can't I send multiple texts any more? I am on iphone 5 and it is only allowing me to send messages to 10 people at once! Previously on iphones 3 and 4s I could send to many more. I use my phone for work and want to send to multiple staff groups or project leaders the same information at the same time and not all of them have email capable phones so text has always been the best solution.
    Please help ?

    22ms is a long time for your computer, but I am wondering about your network. Are you 10 base or 100 base? Switch or hub? Have you tried a direct connection with a crossover cable? Just trying to spark ideas here. I use TCP all the time but only at 500 ms intervals.

  • Why can't I access Firefox directly any more?

    For many months, I have used Firefox to access Melaleuca.com to place a regular monthly order. This morning, when I clicked on Firefox, a box popped up saying I couldn't use Firefox with this version of Mac OS X. Why can I not? And what can I do about it?

    There's a third party version of Firefox 4 you can install on your MAC here: http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/

  • Why can't I change the addresses of friends by changing them in my address book?

    In my address book, I changed a friend's E-mail address, but the old address remains in the drop down box where I select the person I am E-mailing. Why doesn't the list when I select 'to" come from my address book?

    Is this about Thunderbird or about an internet based email service?
    For Firefox you can use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop-down list:
    #click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop-down list
    #highlight an entry in the drop-down list with the mouse or cursor Down key<br>do not click the mouse or press the Enter key
    #press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to delete the highlighted entry

  • Geometry-Dimensions- Why can't I change these

    I'm Converting SD-IMX* video to MPEG**. The video always comes out as 640x480. I need the video to output as 720X480.
    In the Geometry pane the dimension settings are always locked-out. Program Stream is what I would like to use use, but I have tried the others (Even MPEG1) and I'm always locked out of the dimensions.
    In the Encoder Pane under "Video Format" there are some size choices, but they are ALL 640 wide. Is that the only size MPEG2 can do? Under MPEG1 the only size choice is 352x240, and I'm sure I have seen MPEG1's in other sizes.
    What do I need to change so that I can make adjustments to the dimensions?
    *Apple MPEG IMX 525/60 (30 Mb/s), 720 x 486
    **Need an MPEG stream with muxed audio included at 720x480 interlaced in order to upload into a very picky server.

    some of the mpeg presets are locked out like this. It's a pain. There is a set of presets by Nate Beaman calle CRAM.
    http://www.compressorpack.com/
    He unlocked the parameters to give more control over mpeg conversions. Check it out, contact him if you want to ask a specific question. He's a good guy, and will answer you promptly. If he doesn't, tell me, and I'll run across the hall and kick him for you.

  • Why can't I edit in Photoshop any more

    I reinstalled both LR4.2RC and Photoshop CS5 on a new drive. But now I can't seem to edit in Photoshop from LR. Am I doing something wrong? It worked fine before (except for getting the "Render in Lightroom" thing because of the differnece in process versions). Using Windows 7 Prof. Cntrl E no longer works and Edit in Photoshop is grayed out on the drop down menu. Both work independently just fine. A setting in LR perhaps? Thanks for help.

    Hi ,
    We really apologize for all the inconvenience which has caused you.
    Assuming that you are using Windows machine please follow the steps below:
    On Windows, try the following solutions in order:
    Solution 1: Uninstall and reinstall Photoshop.  Any information that was damaged since Photoshop was installed is re-created.
    Solution 2: Re-create the Photoshop.exe application path registry key.
    Disclaimer: This procedure involves editing the Windows registry. Adobe doesn't provide support for editing the registry, which contains critical system and application information. Make sure to back up the registry before editing it. For more information about the registry, see the Windows documentation or contact Microsoft.
    Exit Photoshop and Lightroom.
    Choose Start > Run. If you do not have Run listed, see What happened to the Run command?
    Type "regedit" (without quotes) in the Open box, and then click OK to start the Windows Registry Editor.
    Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\.
    Right-click the App Paths folder and choose New > Key.
    Type "Photoshop.exe" (without quotes) as the name of the new key, then press Enter.
    Right-click the Photoshop.exe folder and choose New > String Value.
    Type "Path" (without quotes) as the name of the new value, then press Enter.
    In the right pane of the registry, right-click the (Default) value and choose Modify.
    In the Value Data field, enter the location of the Photoshop.exe file on your computer. Include Photoshop.exe at the end of the path. For example, if you installed Photoshop CS5 to the default location, enter C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop
    CS5\Photoshop.exe. If you have a different version of Photoshop or have installed to a different directory, change the path as appropriate.
    Click OK.
    In the right pane of the registry, right-click the Path value and choose Modify.
    In the Value Data field, enter the file path for where the Photoshop.exe file is on your computer. (This path is the same as you entered in step 10, except omit Photoshop.exe from the end.) For example, if you installed Adobe Photoshop CS5 to the default location, enter C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\. If you have a different version of Photoshop or have installed to a different directory, change the path as appropriate.
    Click OK.
    In the meanwhile if these steps doesnt resolve your issues you can contact Adobe support by following the link below:

    Look in your Home/Library/Library/Quicktime folder to see if you have Flip4Mac and/or Perian installed.  If so move both the the Desktop, reboot and try again.
    NOTE: In Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • Back To My Mac - Dot Mac Family Pack

    Anyone know if Back To My Mac will work with two computers using different accounts with a dot mac "family pack"? BTMM works fine with two different family pack accounts while on the home network, but I can't seem to make them talk over the Internet (using Airport Extreme routers at both locations with UPNP turned on)...

    It just so happens that all the impossible problems happen to me.

  • IWeb, Dot Mac, family packs... and Domain names???

    I'm a volunteer involved with recreational trails and historical preservation organizations in a rural area. I've been talking with the leadership of these (not-well-funded) organizations for some time about the benefits of establishing web sites for each organization. (Publicizing accomplishments, generating awareness of issues, soliciting support, improving communication, etc.)
    Prior to the recent MacWorld SF Expo, I was looking (very warily) at some of the pay-services out there where you can pay so much a month (or a year) for a web-hosting service which would supposedly offer a domain name of choice, server space, and other services. Of course, with this I would have to learn how to use a web design app like GoLive CS or DreamWeaver MX. I'm not opposed to that. Web-based tutorial services like Lynda.com make it more possible than ever before. Still, I was wary about getting my "bang for the buck"; the combination of my time and the hard-won funding of these organizations resulted in wavering enthusiasm.
    Along comes Apple's iLife 2006 and the offering of a new Dot Mac Family Pack. Looking over the possibilities, there's something to be said for combining iLife '06 with a Dot Mac Family Pack. If Steve Jobs' hype is to be believed, I could put up nice little web-sites for a decent price and have all kinds of technological possibilities for the future. (If anyone wants to post a podcast, it can be done. Posting pictures of volunteer work and developing issues can be a major breakthrough for awareness and support.)
    I'm still concerned about some lingering issues, though. Some of these other web-hosting services offer the means of securing and using your own domain name (i.e., your-organization.org) for a web-site URL and even several e-mail addresses using that same domain name. Still, if I split a Dot Mac Family Pack five ways, that's $36 per site. That's quite a savings over $100+ per year per site that these hosting services were asking. How tough is it to get a domain name, and how much does it cost?

    Walt,
    Getting a domain name is easy enough, as long as you can come up with one that isn't already taken. You can secure a domain name on sites like GoDaddy.com for less than $10 a year, and it gets cheaper as you secure it for more years at a time. GoDaddy also offers free domain forwarding, meaning: you can have your www.brandnewdomainname.com point to your .Mac url (which will read something complex like http://web.mac.com/username/iWeb/somethingorother). If you don't want the complex .Mac url to show in the browser's address field when people visit your page, GoDaddy will mask it for you for free too. Then, it will just say www.brandnewdomainname.com on every page on that site. If you want each page on each of your sites to have its own easy url, say www.brandnewdomainname.com/about or www.brandnewdomainname.com/contact, you'll have to host with GoDaddy or some other site and pay the price.
    If you decide to go with the iLife 06/.Mac combo, the family pack may not be the best thing for you. Have a look at this .Mac page:
    http://www.mac.com/1/currencytable.html
    For $20 more, you can get twice the server space (4GB), and I think that also includes a lot more bandwidth per month than the family pack, but I am not sure about that. For $30 less, you have the same amount of space as the family pack. What you don't have is the 4 additional e-mail addresses. You can purchase those separately for $10 a year, or, you can use up to 5 free e-mail aliases per account. The drawback to aliases is that messages sent to them will all end up in the main account's inbox, which may or may not work for you --perhaps only if all the e-mails are intended for the webmaster and that is you for all these sites. Of course, you could always list individual non-.Mac e-mail addresses on a contact page, and probably turn them into hyperlinks so that if people click on them, their e-mail app will open a new e-mail addressed to that person. May not be the most elegant way to do it, but if you're trying to save money, maybe it's good enough.
    With a regular (non-family pack) .Mac account, you also are not forced to split your server space five ways evenly -- you can host as many sites on one .Mac account as your server space will allow. The main headache for you will be the urls to each individual page of all these sites. If you are picky about them and what exactly they look like, .Mac may not be your thing. Not yet at least. It has the ease of use, but you pay for that in other ways. There's always a trade-off...
    Hope that helps a little.

  • Why can I not change the apple id associated with iphoto and imovies

    Why can I not change the appleid associated with iphoto and imovies

    Is it not your Apple ID? Is this a used Mac? If so, the Mac, OS X and the iLife apps are all registered to the original owner of the Mac.
    When someone sells a Mac they should erase the Mac and reinstall the most recent version of OS X that came with the Mac. And they should call Apple Care and have the Mac, the OS and the iLife apps disassociated from their Apple ID. Can you call the original owner and request that?

  • Why can't I change my apple id / email address associated with my apple id ?

    My apple id is associated with a gmail address.

    Why can't I change my apple id ?

    Hi KeanuReeves,

  • Why can't I change to size of my test in emails now? CanI go back to previous email version. This one is horrible!!!

    Why can't I change to size of my test in emails now? CanI go back to previous email version. This one is horrible. On my last update I was able to easilt find old emails now they disappear!!!! WTF?
    This version cannot change the text size Do I have to go back to IE?

    Which email site do you use?
    And some general advice:
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
