My original Apple ID is associated with an email address that I no longer have access to. How do I reset the system to recognize my new email address as my primary point of contact and erase the other one?

If when you go to icloud.com and sign in with your current iCloud ID you see all your iCloud data there, you can safely sign out of the iCloud account on your Mac and choose Delete at all the prompts, then sign back in with the current ID. This only deletes the data from your Mac, not from iCloud. Your iCloud data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in after a brief delay as it redownloads. If you have automatically imported your photo stream photos to your iPhoto library you won't lose them either (if you haven't, save them to your library first).
Again, only do this if when you go to icloud.com with your current ID you see your iCloud data there.

My iPad Air will not recognize my newest Apple ID e-mail address for cloud access. It continually reverts back to an old e-mail address that I no longer have access to and don't remember the PW for. How can I fix this?

HT1911 My old Apple ID was tied to an email address that I no longer have access to, and for some reason, my security question answers don't seem to be working. Is there any other way to retrieve or reset my password?

I have a new Apple ID - I would love to be able to merge them. Is that possible?

I have an old shuffle that I created with a different email address that I no longer have. is there a way to add these songs to my new account

I have an old shuffle that I still use with many songs. I created this account with an old email address that I no longer have. Is there any way to transfer these songs to my new account so I may purchase more songs and still use my shuffle? Thank you!

Basically, no, but as long as all the music is in the same iTunes library and it doesn't contain protected content from more than five Apple IDs, you don't need to. If desired, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

Go to the iTunes Store and log in to your account. Under "device authorizations" select "deauthorize all".

Can I retrieve contacts that I deleted from an email account on my IPhone that I no longer have access to? I have synced the contacts with my computer and have not synced since I deleted the mail account on my Iphone. Can I still retrieve the contacts?

This might be a problem as it is a company mail account that I no longer work for.
Could I...
Plug iphone into pc and click Restore in iTunes?
Then using ICloud, retrieve all the data lost in the restore?

I am locked out of iTunes because I can't remember the answer to my security questions, and my 'rescue email' is one that I no longer have access to... Help!

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Hi, I need to sync my phone to our home laptop. Phone was synced to a Mac that I no longer have access to. Can I sync my phone to the home laptop (MacBook Pro) and not lose all of my photos and contacts??

Hi Michela27,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you have content on your iPhone that isn't on your computer, the best thing is to use the advice in this article to transfer it to your new computer before setting up sync:

I can't seem to sync my calendar on my iphone to iCal because the default email address associated with my calendar on my iphone was to an old work email address that I no longer have.

I can't seem to sync my calendar on my iphone to iCal because the default email address associated with my calendar on my iphone was to an old work email address that I no longer have. When I go to ICal it asks for the username and password which I no longer have. The calendar is still on my phone (even though the email account is on my phone but doesn't work) Is there a way to copy my calendar to a different email address on my iphone? I have now set the default email account for the calendar to a current email address but I still can't figure out how to merge my iphone calendars, copy the iphone calendar to iCal, or save my iphone calendar to my mac. Also, I read in ITunes to check "sync to ICal" but my ITunes under my iphone and info just says "Sync Calendars" which doesn't transfer it to iCal when I sync my phone.

HT5312 Hi How do i change my rescue email address if i no longer have access to it and forgot my security answers?

Hi How do i change my rescue email address if i no longer have access to it and forgot my security answers?

You won't be able to change the address until you can answer 2 of your questions - 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 the page that you posted from to update your rescue email address for potential future use

I cant sync my iphone to my re installed itunes. It is saying my iphone is already synced with another library. How do I get rid of that old Itunes library that I no longer have access too?

I recently re installed itunes (due to pc crashing). When I connect my iphone to sync it is telling me my Iphone is already synced to another library. I no longer have access to that library. How do I delete that old library to enable me to sync to my new library?

You don't need to delete the old library, but it will take a little effort to transfer the allegiance of the device to your new one.
You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

HT201269 How do I get my old iPhone/iTunes info from an old email address that I no longer have the password to change it to my new email address?

I no longer have my Comcast account how do I get all my old iTunes Facebook etc from my old email to my new phone and centurylink email account
[email protected] when I no longer have the password to the Comcast account

I really can't comprehend the logic that leads to believe that password for old apple id will come to e-mail for new id. Buy may be I just misunderstood something. Contact Apple for assist with password retrieval. If you can verify yourself as account owner they may be able to help you.

I have a macbook and it is a dual boot system, I would like to be able to see the mac side of the system on a larger monitor. I can hook to a hdmi cable and see the pc side, but not the mac side, any suggestions?

I have a macbook that I bought second hand. The mac has a dual boot system with bootcamp on one side and snow leopard on the other. I would like to be able to hook to a larger hdmi monitor so that in both systems I could see better since on the leopard side the computer has PS4. I have purchased the dvi to HDMI accessory and purchased the HDMI to DVI cable, and can see fine on the bootcamp side, but nothing on the leopard side. Could somebody help me with configuring things so that it will see both side?
Also on a minor note, I need to purchase a new battery for this item and don't know which one to purchase. Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially with the display/monitor issue.
Thanks Sue
ps sorry but the operating system is OS X

When you try to use the Mac side on your external monitor do you get a blank screen or do you see the aurora background?
It would help to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.

How do I deauthorize other computers from my homeshare that I no longer have access to?

I am trying to add a new pc to my homeshare network. When trying to do so it tells me that I already have 5 devices sharing my itunes. How do I deauthorize these other devices that I am no longer using, when I don't have access to them any longer?

If you no longer have the computers you want to deauhtorize,
go to "view your account info" on the itunes store,
deauhtorize all five, and then re-authorize your Computers one at a time.

I have a new computer that I want to authorize. But I must deauthorize the last 4 authorized PCs that I no longer have access to. How can I deauthorize previous PCs selectively?

I authorized 5 PCs in the past in different places. Now I want to deauthorize each of them selectively. I can not deauthorize all as I need one to remain authorized. So, how can I deauthorize the last 4 PCs?
Thanks.

Individual computers can only be deauthorised directly on them, but you can 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need - deauthorising a computer doesn't remove any content from it, it just means that you can't use/play your iTunes downloads on it until you reauthorise it : authorising and deauthorising.
