My mum set up an iCloud account and forgot the password, and this caused me to create a new account. The new account works for the App Store and all that, but I can't change the initial iCloud account without the password. Help?

My mum set up an iCloud account for my iPhone 4 but forgot the password. This caused me to create a new account, and it can be used for the App Store and iTunes and all that, but I can't change the initial iCloud account (the one my mum made). My device keeps prompting me for the password every few minutes after updating to iOS 8, and I've tried every option possible to retrieve the password, but I don't even know the answers to the security questions and I can't find the password reset email anywhere and I don't know the back up emails my mum used. I literally cannot find any legitimate way to sign out of the initial iCloud account without entering a password (which neither I nor my parents know). Is there a way for me to retreive the password or change to my new account without the password?

My icloud account keeps telling me that my user name or password for icloud is incorrect but it works for downloading apps etc and joining this forum

Accessing the itunes store and joining this forum are different accounts than an icloud account, so it's not necessarily true that your ID for icloud is the same as for itunes.
Did you set up an icloud account?
To create a new icloud account, go to

Does logic 9 from the app store have everything that you would get if you were to buy it in the store?, and are you able to upgrade to studio later on?

Hi
Logic Studio is not available anymore, so unless you can find an "old stock" copy somewhere, you will never be able to upgrade in the future.
Logic Pro 9 has all the content from the Studio box available for download, with the exception of the 20G of Soundtrack Pro content. Soundtrack Pro is no longer available at all.
Logic Studio also contained several other applications: Mainstage, Compressor (available separately from the AppStore), Waveburner (no longer available), plus some other utilities.

Try deleting the cache associated with the App Store..
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Click Go
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store. See if that made a difference.

At App Store I see that Facebook needs updating. However, when I click on "update" the blue circle appears but nothing else happens.

At App Store I see that Facebook needs updating. However, when I click on "update" the blue circle appears but nothing else happens.

The blue circle should go around, clockwise, as a fine line, and then as a heavy line indicating it is downloading. Then it sits while the install takes place. It may sit and wait to start the download if the internet connection is slow.

I reinstalled tiger on one iMac, but want to re-upgragde it to Lion. I don't have the discs anymore, but I installed Lion from the Mac App Store. Now that I'm back to 10.4, I don't have the App Store. I have a new iMac with Mavericks, but it won't let

I have a 2006 iMac that I've upgraded to each new os as they came out. I just wiped it (for the kids to use, I have a new iMac with Mavericks) and reintalled Tiger from the original discs. I want to get it back to Lion - which I purchased from the Mac App Store. But Tiger doesn't have the App Store and I don't have the discs anymore from the intermediate versions. I tried downloading Lion from the new iMac but it's not available...
Any ideas?

To get to the App Store, you need to upgrade the Tiger machine to Snow Leopard.

I purchased my iPad in Korea, and while almost everything is in English, my App Store is in Hangul, how can I change it to be in English?

My iTunes was setup in the states, and is setup with a US credit card. I did use my iPad in Korea, but I've been back in the states for almost 4months now, and my App Store is still in Hangul. I've tried changing the language in the international setting in the settings, but I'm not having any luck.

Hello ChuckLoyal,
It sounds like you are unable to connect to FaceTime on your Mac. I would use these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
FaceTime for Mac: Troubleshooting FaceTime
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4185
Activating FaceTime for Mac
Use your Apple ID to register and use FaceTime. FaceTime registration validates your Apple ID and email address for use with FaceTime.
If you are unable to activate FaceTime, try the following:
Sign in to FaceTime for Mac using a valid Apple ID. After you validate the email address for use with FaceTime, other FaceTime users can connect to you using that email address. If you encounter issues registering or using an Apple ID account:
Ensure that you have an active Internet connection.
Verify that you are using a valid Apple ID at appleid.apple.com. You can also create an Apple ID or reset your password from this website.
Check that your email address is verified in FaceTime > Preferences.If FaceTime > Preferences shows your email status as "verifying," follow the instructions in the verification email that was sent to complete the process.
Toggle FaceTime off and on in FaceTime > Preferences.
If still unable to Sign In follow the instructions in FaceTime, Game Center, Messages on OS X: Troubleshooting Sign in
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

My 3gs is magnifying my screen so that I can't access the "edges" of the screen - most functions won't work. I tried to reset "all settings" but I can't access the full keypad to enter my passcode. Re-boot does not solve this.

I have an Iphone 3gs - a little over one year old. It just started magnifying the screen so that many of the functions are not accessable. Scrolling is either very difficult or impossible. I've rebooted it many times (in fact I usually need to do that multiple time just to be able to manpulate the keypad to enter my passcode).
I also tried to reset all settings. One that screen I can't access enough of the keypad to enter my passcode. Any comments/help would be appreciated.

This is asked and answered often. The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
It is also covered in the manual - zoom feature.
Double tap with three fiongers.

HT1296 sync from old iPhone 4 to new iphone 5, contacts, photos and few apps have transferred all ok, but i can't seem to get my apps from itunes to new device

i need help,
i have backed my iphone 4 to my new imac itunes,
i have transfered all contacts and photos but my apps wont go to my new iphone 5 , cant find the sync button??????

In iTunes, when you select your phone, you should see a tab for Apps. Check the Sync Apps box on that page. If you don't have many apps, you can also download directly to your phone by opening the App Store, tap Updates, and then Purchased (at top of screen).

Wifi not working with iTunes, apps store and some, but not all Internet sites....why???

Yesterday I noticed while browsing Internet that some sites would not open and that some games I regularly play would not open. I also found that I could not open either the apps store or iTunes. Everything seemed to be working the day before and I have not recently upgraded ios (been on version 6.1.3 for a while) or changed any settings on my iPad (2). With Internet research today I found suggestion that if I switched to 3G I would be able to access these apps and,sure enough, under 3G connection everything works fine. Some other forums suggest changing wifi router settings to fix the issue ....I have not tried this as I wouldn't like to mess with my router and end up effecting other peripherals/pc's connected to it that are working fine....especially when I am not terribly IT savvy when it comes to hardware settings. But as I haven't changed anything on my ipad why would my wifi suddenly stop connecting to some apps on my iPad, but not all??? Interestingly I can access many Internet sites (forums) with wifi connection but not the apple forum! To get to anything apple related I have to switch back to 3G ....that includes checking the iOS version I am on via settings!
I also mention that I have done all the other suggested fixes found on various forums, such as rebooting iPad, renewing wifi lease, clearing cookies, closing all apps etc etc, to no avail. Seems the only suggested fix I have not tried is mucking around with my router which I am very hesitant to do given the **** I went through with my telco when my home Internet connection suddenly stopped working last year. Took me weeks of phone calls to get my internet connection back and being forced by the telco to a more expensive plan, hence very reluctant to start mucking around with that side of things, but why should I need to when it does seem to be working ok with other devices in the home?
I have started this as new discussion as, even though I am not terribly IT savvy, I cant see how this could be related to the wifi issues that many on the newer devices (iPhone 5 and iPad mini etc) are reporting as I haven't recently upgraded anything on my ipad and all was working perfectly up until yesterday.
Any other suggestions on how to get wifi working correctly again on iPad or do I really have to risk the working of every other device in my home and chase it from modem/router side?

Hi there,
You mentioned that you have tried a few troubleshooting steps already, but you may want to take a look at the article below, specifically the section titled "If you are unable to access the Internet while connected to a Wi-Fi network"
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

Why an insert journal concurrent works for one app user and not for other?

We have two app users. User A and User B. They have same responsibilities and grants over same functions and menus. When they run a custom insert journal concurrent, only user A can execute it successfully.
User B uses same parameters and data as User A, but when User B runs concurrent, it always fails
What is the difference between this users?
How we can check this difference?

Hi,
did you check user specific profile option settings as well?
In addition, it would be helpful to have some more input
regarding the error which is raised when user B runs the
concurrent (concurrent log file output).
Regards

HT204053 I already changed my apple ID, but I can't change it in "icloud settings " on my iphone.

when I go to:
settings>icloud - I see at the top my old apple ID in account.
why can't I change to my current apple ID?
best regards.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This will delete the account and your iCloud data from your phone but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your phone when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos save them to your camera roll before deleting the account (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Sare, tap Save to Camera Roll).

My mum set up an iCloud account and forgot the password, and this caused me to create a new account. The new account works for the App Store and all that, but I can't change the initial iCloud account without the password. Help?
