My husband died and i'm trying to access our shared files however I don't have his password.
My husband passed away and i'm trying to gain access to his icloud account to retrieve our shared files.
How can I do this?
Thanks,

You will require the assistance of Apple, and they will require proof. Go to an Apple Store and ask them,

When I bought my iPhone 4s, a friend activated it for me using his email. Later I changed it to my own email on iPhone website (iCloud A/C). But when I try to update, I found it still shown my friend's email and I don't have his password. What can I do?
In addition to what FelipeV is telling you, I advise you to contact your friend and have him remove the iPhone from his apple id through icloud.com. Otherwise, if in the future you want to update the iOS or restore the iPhone for troubleshooting a problem, you may find that you cannot activate it again due to the feature Activiation Lock in iOS 7.
Once your friend has done this, you should deactivate Find my iPhone on your iPhone iCloud settings and then activate it back with your own Apple ID. -
My uncle passed away recently and we are trying to access his iPad but don't know his code so the iPad is disabled. Can we unlock it without having to reset it as we don't know if he's backed anything up and we don't want to lose whatever is on there... thanks in advance.
About all you can do is take the device to an Apple Store along with the death certificate and explain the situation...if someone can do something, it would be them.

My old email come up when I want to update my apps.however I don't use that password at all,I've even had a message saying its not in use. I can't update them though which is really annoying! I've tried setting up that email again and change password but doesn't work at all.does anyone know how I can get rid of and use my current email?
Hi there, this problem has probably been resolved now, but I must say that I came across these posts today as I had the same problem, my old e mail kept popping up, but all sorted now! Old Apps are not tied to the old Apple ID, honestly!
Rudegar is so right, all you do is go the SETTINGS/iTunes & App Store, then select `Apple ID` `Sign Out` then you get the chance to enter your new ID, and it worked a treat!
Good luck with anyone else with this problem, as I spent so long on this, really stupid!
PS you`ll need to again verify bank details -
IMac G5 died and I am trying to access files from the HD via my PowerBook
My iMac G5 died- evidently because of a power supply issue. Was told it could be up to five business days for repairs but there are files on my hard drive I need access to this weekend....preferably today. Yes, I do backups but I do them once a week and, of course, it has been a week since my last and so I have several days worth of work on the computer I need.
I removed the hard drive from the iMac and hooked it up to my PowerBook. The drive mounted and I can click on the User folder and then see my user account. But when I click on that folder, the contents are empty. I have rebooted, while holding down the Option Key, on the PowerBook to try and boot to my now external iMac hard drive, but it didn't see it. Another problem might be because the iMac HD is encrypted. How can I log into the iMac HD and access a few of my files (via the PowerBook) so I can copy them to the PowerBook to work on them while the iMac is down?If the G5 iMac's hard drive is still okay, you could pull the hard drive from the G5, put it in an external enclosure and hook that up to your G4 Powerbook.
Here is an example of an external HD enclosure:

I just got my new Iphone 5s activated at verizon. I came home to plug into my computer to get all my apps, etc that I had backed up from old phone. Computer keeps saying it can't access the new phone due to a password and that I need to enter password and try again. However, I don't have a password set on the new phone. Any help would be appreicated....I don't want to loose all my back up.

Old computer died and I am trying to install Illustrator CS5 on new computer.
Last version I had before CS5 was/is Illustrator 10,which has been installed on new computer.
CS5 install says I need CS2,3 or 4 before installing 5, but old computer went directly from 10 to CS5.
How can I repeat this 10 to CS5 install?It does not seem likely that CS6 was upgraded from version 10. You might want to check your purchase history in your Adobe account to see if there is some missing link in the chain of purchases you made.
You can always try contacting Adobe support thru chat to see if they can find information or otherwise assist you in this matter.

How do I find music that has been uploaded to iTunes from a purchased CD and iTunes is “unable to find the original file?” I no longer have the CD. I have tried all the usual methods of looking in my iTunes library and through Find. No Luck.
Backup drive?
Subscribe to iTunes Match?
If neither of the above and you don't have the CD and can't find your tracks on the computer then they you're stuck. A file recovery utility will cost $100, plus another $100 for an external drive to which to resue the files, and may not even work. You can buy a lot of CDs for $200. -

Hi,
How do you connect the printer to the XP machine ? If USB, you need to make that machine as a Print server. Please try this:

Hello,
My phone is not working at all. I had this problem before and I was trying to find a solution. However, at Apple Store in UK I was told to send my phone to Canada due to fact that I bought it there. What should I do and who will cover all my payments for a mail?
Thank you!The iphone warranty is not international. It is based from the original country of purchase. You will need to ship to someone you know in the Canada to bring it to Apple for evaluation. Then that person will have to ship the phone back to you. Shipping and insurance will be at your expense. In the terms of the iphone warranty:

Apple may restrict warranty service to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors
originally sold the Apple Product. -
My husband and I are divorcing and we have used his apple ID for our 2 apple tv's. He changed his password and now I no longer have access to the 300 or more movies, tv shows and music. He keeps telling me that , there is no way for us both to have it. So, since his Apple ID was the one programmed into our Apple TV's he has custody to everything. I know there has to be a solution for this, because I can't be the be the only person this has ever happened too!
Unfortunately the situation is thus...
Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID.

So I just bought a used MacBook from Amazon with OSX 10.5.8. I am trying to install new software and operating system, but I don't have the passwords to the Users set up in the computer. What do I do?
Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart. -
Trying to access our public library's ebooks. Downloaded the software,(Overdrive Media Console) but am getting an error saying: Current version of MP Security is 2.5.0.0 and I need 2.5.0.1. How do I do that so I can read the ebooks? People have suggested to use IE but I much prefer Firefox HELP!
Try updating the Media Player while using Internet Explorer. The Windows Updates site uses ActiveX to perform its' functions. Firefox doesn't support ActiveX.
