My mother-in-law passed away. How do I reset the Apple ID on her iMac? I don't know her information.

I thought I knew it, but I am not able to reset the password.

If you have the Install Disc, boot from the disk while holding the c key.

  • My teenage daughter and i share an apple id on both of our iphones.  she now has an ipad with a her own apple id.  How can we change the apple id on her phoneand not loose any contacts or songs?

    My teenage daughter and i share an apple id on both of our iphones (2 phones both are 5s) .  She now has an ipad with a her own apple id.  How can we change the apple id on her phone so that is the same as the ipad and not loose any contacts or songs?

    Did you take a look at the new feature Apple - iOS 8 - Family Sharing ?
    Apple - iCloud - Family Sharing
    Up to now, songs bought from iTunes could only be played by the Apple ID that has been used to buy them.
    If you set up Family Sharing, your daughter can also play your songs and use the same contact info as before.
    If you don't want to do that, sync the contact info to the address book on your computer, and sync the info back, using iTunes:
    Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB
    If the iPad already has her Apple ID and contact info on it, restore the phone from the latest iPad backup.

    it might be better to completely restore the phone. hold down both the home and power buttons at the same time as soon as the screen shuts off let go of the power button but continue to hold the home button and in a few seconds you will get the connect iphone to itunes logo connect the phone to the computer while itunes is open you will get a popup on the computer screen saying that itunes has detected a phone in recovery mode follow the prompts on the screen and you will have a fully factory restored iPhone 4

    The remote app requires both to be on the same network and home sharing to be enabled, you will need the physical remote to set this up. You can purchase a replacement through Apple.

  • How do i change the apple ID on my Imac

    I have two apple ID accounts. I want all of my apple devices signed into the same apple ID. How can I change the apple ID that I am signed into on my iMac?

    General: System Preferences>Users & Groups, click on your User ID, click on Change next to the User ID
    iTunes: Click on the name or "Sign-In" in top menu bar on the right-hand side, and sign out the ID that is signed on, or if no one is signed on, sign on your Apple ID of choice
    iCloud: System Preferences>iCloud, sign out the Apple ID that is signed on, sign on the preferred Apple ID
    Messages - open Messages, click Preferences>Accounts, sign out and then sign in preferred Apple ID
    FaceTime - open FaceTime, click on Preferences, then click on the Apple ID, then on Sign out. Then sign in the preferred Apple ID
    I can't think of anything else, though there probably are other places where you might be signed in.

  • HT5622 how do i reset my apple id on my iMac?

    My Apple ID is associated with a lot of things on my iMac. I recently changed my Apple ID and haven't changed it on my iMac. But when my iMac needs my Apple ID, it automatically pulls up my old Apple ID. How do I change this on my iMac (not the internet). I need to change it inside my settings or something so that my new Apple ID comes up when I need to authorize something on my iMac.

    Go to the Apple and Open System Preferences
    In System Preferences choose Users & Groups
    If your lock is locked you will need to click on it and use your master password to unlock it.
    Click on you (the user) and on the right side of the window, you will see Apple ID: ........................... and the button Change.
    Choose Change
    Use the + sign to put in a new apple ID and the - sign to remove an old unused one.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT2452 How do I reset the initial password on an iMac running Lion?

    New to forums.  Not entirely sure how this works. But, when I set up my iMac, I created one ID that is required every time I let the computer go idle or when I shut down the system. Now I want to change that ID.  I tried by going into Settings and User/Groups and went through a process that looked like it would reset the password.  But, when I reboot my Mac, the system takes me right in--right to the desktop.  No ID or password required.  Can you change your initial password?

    To turn off automatic login you need to go to System Preferences->Users & Groups and select the Login Options located at the bottom of the user list.
    In the window that opens is the setting to disable automatic login.

  • How do you reset the Apple ID to a new one for the automatic updates download tool?  It defaults to my old Apple ID, even though I have changed the Apple ID to the new one everywhere I can find.

    I have an original Apple ID from my personal iPhone and iPad.  I bought a MacBook Pro for business and the Apple Store clerk told me to use the old Apple ID to make setup faster and that I could change to a new one later.   So... I did all that and changed the Apple ID everywhere I can find a place to do so.  And everything seems okay, except the Automatic Updates download tool defaults back to my original Apple ID.  That old Apple ID is grayed out in the login, so I cannot seem to change it to download and update under my new, business-related Apple ID for my MacBook Pro.  What to do?

    Yes, absolutely, you can still use the old ID to update, etc., but I understood the OP to want to simply discard the old one and use only the new one. Maybe I misunderstood...
    And, actually just now re-reading the first post, it could be that the ID had only been associated with the iDevices, so if he established a new ID and associated that with the new MBP, I frankly have no idea if he can still use the old ID on that machine (based on him saying that the old ID is greyed out) - have not come up with this type of situation before.

    Hi, I have an iphone 4 with my itunes library on a Windows XP computer. My spouse (who has now passed away) had an itouch with an itunes library on an IMac. here is the problem, I bought an new iphone 6 and wanted to sync with my windows xp library and of course my itunes version is out of date and I need to update it...well I try and update the version and it will not update the Itunes library and when I researched it I would have to upgrade from XP to Windows 7...r they kidding me...first of all my computer is old and a pain in the *** but I have my itunes library on it.  Sp to get my phone working I sync'd it on the IMac and my spouses Itunes library has been sync'd to my iphone and I don't know how to get my library on it...After thinking about it I want to combine the libraries after all there are some purchases on each one.
    I have done some research and you have to buy a 3rd party piece of software...this is not the way I want to go...I do not think i should have to buy one and also when I do a goole search there are a ton of them out there and I am sorry i do not trust the comments as some of them do identify that they will get a kick back.
    Can someone help, i should be able to export my itunes library from my iphone 4 to the itunes library by appending/importing it...it is not rocked science on what I want to do and I cannot find out any process...
    Can someone help ?
