My apple ID and password is now different and cloud does not recognize the changes. How do I change it on Imac and Macpro
Can anyone tell me how to change my default ID on Cloud, to my new ID and passord? I have the problem with both computers. The Imac and Macpro. There are no options in the box to make changes.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
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")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another 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.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

I changed my Apple ID password now my iPad Messages does not recognize new password
I changed my Apple ID password now my iPad Messages does not recognize the new password. How can I correct this problem?
Do you have more than one apple ID? It sounds like you may be getting 2 apple IDs passwords crossed or something.
Try signing in at appleid.apple.com and see if you can sign in there with your new password... do this on a pc or mac... if you can sign in there then it's not the password but the device where you need to recheck your settings/information... if you can't sign in then you need to change your password again and sign out and back in on your device. -

HT204053 I just changed my Apple Password and icloud does not recognize the password.
I just changed my Apple Password and icloud does not recognize the password.
To change it on your iPhone you have go to Settings>iCloud and delete the account, then set it up again with your new credentials. When you delete the account from your phone it will delete any data you are syncing with iCloud (such as contacts and calendars) from your phone but it will remain in iCloud. Provided your are signing back into your existing account and not changing to a new account, it will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.

Just bought a new iMac, with Lion, for my wife. When is was wifi with her old iMac on line with it's printer, HP C6200, no problems printing. Now that it is by itself it does not recognize the C6200...It recognizes my laser hp 1012 and laser hp 6300 but will not print to them wanting an autenication
How is the C6200 connected to the iMac, is it via USB or Wi-Fi? If it's via Wi-Fi please make sure it's connected to the router using the printer's Network Wizard. Then click System Preferences - Print & Scan and assuming the iMac is on the same network as the printer, if it is the printer should be seen. If it's not then click the + sign and add the printer. Apple provides instructions in Printing Overview OS X Lion

I changed my apple id on my computer and my iPad does not recognize the new id
I changed my Apple id on my computer and my ipad does not recognize the new id and continues to display the old id. How can I get it to change to the new id?
Easy Fix: On your iPad, go into Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and click on your hotmail account. Simply replace the password that's already there with your new one. Then, I recommend rebooting your iPad:
To reboot your iPad, hold down the sleep/wake button and the home button simultaneously until the screen goes black and the Apple logo appears. If, during this process, a slider appears on the screen to power it off, ignore it and keep holding the buttons down.
If you've already tried this, then the next step would be to delet your hotmail account from your iPad (also in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars) and then reboot the iPad and add the account back again. -

I update my Mac to version 10.9.2 and now my printer does not work anymore. I did all the software updates and I do not understand why my mac does not recognize the printer anymore?
Go to the website of the manufacturer of your printer and check to see if they have released an updated driver for your particular model.

I recently moved and had to disconnect my WD My Pro Edition II 2TB external drive I had been using for backup.
Its been several months (many upgrades to the iMac software during this time), and now when I try to reconnect the external dire (Use a firewire cable) it does not recognize the drive is there. I also tried "reloading" software from the Western Digital site, but after following all the instructions, it looks like my iMac doesn't support this software (I can't even locate it after I follow all the instructions.
Thnaks, for anyones ideas on how I can get this working again.....First of all, you do not really want to use their software; if you want a bootable clone, use either Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. If you simply want to drag and drop some files, you don't need software to do that. The important thing on any external drive is that you format/partition it correctly (Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and using GUID partition scheme).
Unfortunately, I don't know anything about WD drives or their software, so I don't have any idea what kind of backup you did. Having said that, it should still recognize the external even if it's outdated. Have you tried mounting it manually in Disk Utility? If you can get it to mount, you could (worst case scenario) just drag your stuff off onto your internal and then reformat the external. -
