Go to the System/iCloud preference pane and sign out of iCloud. Then log back in with your Apple ID and password.
To change the name of the Macbook use the System/Sharing preference pane:

Call bar is now vertical on the right side of screen. How do I get it back on the bottom?

Call bar is now vertical on the right side of screen. How do I get it back on the bottom? I've tried rebooting and changing screens but it won't change. I can't find a setting for that call bar.

This isn't a native setting that I can find Relsea. Did you download an application that maybe has this function? Any luck if you reboot the phone by pulling out the battery?
Please let us know what happens next.
Thanks,

Macbook stolen and recovered, but i delated it from my devices, how can I bring it back without had the drive erased and blocked as I ordered from ''find my Mac''?

I had my Macbook Pro stolen about a month ago... so i went inmediately to ''find my Mac'' and ordered the system to erase the drive and block the Mac as soon as conected to interent.
I recovered the device a week later, so before turning it on, i went to ''find my mac'' and couldnt find any other option to tell the system that i found my stole device, so i clicked ''forget device''
i turned the Macbbok on, and nothing happened, it worked perfectly. but it doesnt appear anmore on my devices.
is there any way to get it back to ''my devices'', and use features such as ''find my mac'' wothout bringing the order from the system to erase and block the device as i ordered before??????
thanks a lot!!!
Arturo.

You must take it back to Apple

If you right-click a toolbar item in normal (non-customize) mode then you can (re)move an item.
* "Remove from Toolbar" will remove this item from the Navigation Toolbar and moves it to the Customize palette ("3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize)
* "Move to Menu" will move this item to the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list
* "Move to Toolbar" in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list will move this item to the toolbar
Note that the search bar has changed in Firefox 34 and now only shows a generic search icon and no longer a specific search engine icon and name.

That"s part of my problem, I dont get that option.
I get iTunes store and that's about it.
I've thought about "erasing/resetting" all settings but I'm afraid to do it. Or am I
missing something in iTunes?
Help please!

I cut and pasted a description from the Internet. It posted as a link in iPhoto. It seems to have made a global change--all my descriptions are now blue, underlined, and Times Roman 12 rather than Arial white. How can I get this back to the default?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

27" iMac was stolen, now returned but has been locked what do I do?

My 27' iMac was stolen, now returned but has been locked what do I do? It was purchased in December of 2011, they nust have set up icloud account to lock it. How do I get around this? Apple should have my serial number of this computer matching my account somewhere right?

What do you mean by 'locked'. Is it the admin password that you don't know or did they set a firmware password?

I have the IPhone, IPad and MacBook, IPad and IPhone share the same Apple ID and Icloud storage. Cannot make ID Change on MacBook as it says the ID is already taken. How can I make all three match?

The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

HT5622 I keep getting emails stating that my password had been changed but the name attached to the message is not minr but it's my email address. Is someone using my email address to sign into FaceTime or other Apple Programs?

Of you're being phished. There are a lot of phishing scams going around right now with bad guys trying to get access to apple ID's.
Anytime you want to verify the info, do not click on any links in the mail, but open up iTUnes on your computer and check things out that way.

contact apple on your own and see what they say.

I have just bought a MacBook Air in Madrid, but the keyboard types ç when I hit -, for example, when I hit shift for the bracket sign I get *. How can I re-set it to type what I see on the keys.

I have just bought a MacBook Air in Madrid, but the keyboard types, for example, ¿ when I hit shift and the semi-colon key, and = when I hit the ! key. What do I have to do to reset it to function normally?

Go>Preferences>Language & Text>Input Sources
Click off the flags of the countries you want--like if you need a British keyboard that has a British pound symbol, pick that one.
When you're done picking, them leave preferences. Now, in the upper right-hand corner of your computer, next to the date, you'll see a little flag. Click on that. You'll see all the flags you picked. Choose the one you want. Your keyboard will now give you the symbols, letters, etc. that you would get if you'd bought the computer in that country.

I uploaded photos in .jpg format to my iPad, but now all of those photos appear as .ithmb files and cannot be opened, even on the thumbdrive they originated from. How do I get them back to .jpgs?

Sorry, should've mentioned some more information. I synced the ipad to the folder of photos. The original photos had file names like "_MG_4865.jpg" and after syncing the folder in Itunes, all files were now found in a folder called "iPod Photo Cache" which was filled with many folders with labels like "F23" etc. (There were ALOT of photos.) In those folders there are several files with names like "T343.ithmb". Not a .jpg to be found and I can't view any of the photos.

Restart the MBP and immediately hold the option key down. Release the key when you see the Apple logo. The computer will boot and show you a screen with two hard drive icons.
Select Recovery and hit Return.
On the new screen, select Disk Utility and hit Return.
In DU do this:
In the list at the left, select the name of your hard drive. (Be sure to select the name that’s indented to the right in the list, not an item at the far left.)
Click First Aid.
If Disk Utility tells you the disk is about to fail, back it up and replace it. You can’t repair it.
Click Repair Disk.
When that is done, click Repair Permissions. Be patient!
When that is done, quit DU and restart in the usual way.

After updating with ios7, I cannot proceed because I cannot enter my password since it uses Greek letters but the keyboard available is Latin. How can I change the keyboard to Greek?

try tapping holding on the key that would be most similar to the letter you want to enter, that will bring up a menu of other characters similar to that character and maybe the greek letter will be included in that menu

What model and year is your MacBook? Some older MacBooks don't support Audio out via miniport/HDMI (the display miniport is video only).
