My entries for serial number, apple id, and passwords are rejected.  I need serious help.  Thank you all.

On my IMac using Yosemite 10, I cannot find any of my passwords.  When I enter information that is mine, I see it's not valid.  Cannot seem to get help anywhere.  I don't know my keychain password so cannot find my lost passwords.  Any help you all can give me will be so very appreciated.  I am a little old 80 year old Apple user who is out of her depth trying to fix the problems.  Thank you all and hurry.

Cannot seem to get help anywhere.
Where did you seek help from?  If your iMac is still under warranty and/or you have AppleCare, you can call Apple tech support.  Since you have an iMac, a tech will come to your home to troubleshoot if it cannot be done over the phone.
I don't know my keychain password so cannot find my lost passwords.
Finder>Go>Utilities>Keychain Access.app.  You do not need a password.
Anybody else has access to your comp?

  • My iPhone was stolen in Asia and it's now in Germany. How do I get it back? All I have left is a serial number, apple ID and password, plus a police report. What do I do now? I really want my phone back. Can someone help me? Thank you, Bobi

    No one here can help you, nor can Apple or any carrier. If you know the location, contact the local police where it is located.

  • I tried to transfer purchases from my iPod to a new computer, but for some of the songs it asks for a different Apple ID and password than mine. Ideas?

    You definitely need to resurrect the old password associated with the Apple ID you used to purchase the music.
    Go here: https://iforgot.apple.com
    An email will be sent to the email address associated with that account with instructions regarding resetting that Apple ID's password.
    If you no longer have access to that email, the resolution to this problem becomes considerably more difficult. In that event you would need to contact iTunes Support and explain your dilemma.

    Hi Sister Kate,
    If you change the Apple ID you are using on an iPhone or other iOS device, there are several places you need to change it on the device. See this article -
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

    i have two security questions but i don't have a rescue email address and i know my apple id and password, what should i do please help me!!:(

    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

    Cannot purchase songs on iTunes. After I enter Apple ID and password, Prompt says I need toed to verify my Apple ID. I enter my password again and never get the verification email although my Apple ID and email are correct? Whats up with that?

    from this support article:
    How do I verify my Apple ID by email? 
    Simply follow the link in the verification email that says "Verify Now." Sign in with your current Apple ID and password, then click Verify Address. You can also verify by signing in at My Apple ID.

    the appletv will not be able to work on it's own
    you can use a computer or iphone acting the role of hotspot login using it's browser and getting internet access and then sharing it with the appletv
    so the appletv sees it as a wifi router it connects to

  • Keeps prompting for other's Apple ID and passwords

    My Music (I think) keeps prompting me to imput other people's Apple IDs and passwords. I recognize the names but don't have their passwords. We had shared music in the past (years ago) but I have never had a problem with being asked to input credentials. I recently moved from Music Match then back to it. The problem started at the second iteration of Music Match.
    Is there a way to find and delete songs not purchased with my Apple ID. Maybe even locate music purchased with a specific Apple ID (I have a couple, my wife's etc.).
    This phenomenon seems to happen immediatly after I sync with iTunes.
    Thanks in advance.

    You’ve run into the one problem with the newer Operating Systems (10.7, 8, 9). They are tied to the users Apple ID and password so that no one else can re-download them. The older Operating Systems (10.6, 5) came on a DVD and could be used by anyone. Just pop in the DVD and erase the drive and reinstall.
    You can order a 10.6 install disk from Apple and after installing it use the App Store to order 10.7 Lion with your Apple ID and password.
    The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard After you’ve installed that then download the 10.6.8 combo updater to finish it off. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    For 10.7 Lion you can get a redemption code to use in the App Store here. You can get it for $19.99. http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion

  • My Apple ID and password are not being accepted by my iphone?  I have reset and reset these items but to no avail!  Thanks

    I have tried and tried to reset my Apple ID and password and on each web page (under Itunes) it has shown that the information was completely reset and no problems were noticed.  When I have put this information into my iphone 4 in order to download my (now 35) updates, the phone says that the password is not correct.  I have seriously attempted each step of these two processes at least 20 times but to no avail. Please help and thank you all for sharing.

    Maybe the apps were downloaded using a different Apple ID.
    Check using iTunes > Get Info on one of the apps.

  • APPLE TV 2 HD model and updated to latest version 6.1.1 since doing that it won't set date and time and tells me my Apple ID and password are incorrect and I know there not. What do I do?

    It connects to internet fine. I have tried restoring back to factory condition and hard wire update by connecting it to my Mac mini .
    The date and time won't set. And won't acknowledge my Apple ID and password......... I am usually tech savy but this has caused me grief .
    Do I need to downgrade my update....
    But can't get any menus until I log in my apple account...
    It can't log into my iTunes account until time and date have been set.
    When I did the hard wire restore connected to Mac mini it wouldn't go past the date and time screen as it wouldn't when I did the wifi update too.
    it just would get past that screen.
    Anyone help!!

    This is the result of a network issue.  Ensure port 123 on the router is open.
