  • Help! Bought a used iMac (2008) and I'm trying to install quicktime but its asking me for a password and has Apple in the "Name" spot.  How do I retrieve or reset the password?

    Can anyone help...
    I just bought a used iMac (2008) from an ebay seller and I'm trying to install quicktime but its asking me for a password and has Apple in the "Name" spot. 
    How do I retrieve or reset the password?
    It came with the upgrade of Mountain Lion but I cannot find quicktime in the applications.  When I try to install anything this Installer Password thing comes up... so I'm stuck.

    I think you're slightly misunderstanding something, so maybe I'll try to chime in, even though everyone has said it in various ways.
    Before OSX 10.7 (aka Lion) came out, the upgrades to OSX belonged to the Mac and not the user. Probably there was a technical legality in the user agreement that you couldn't do that, but everyone did. I could sell a Mac with Snow Leopard (or anything before that) by just erasing the hard drive, and reinstalling OSX. Then ship it to the buyer. Now, I was pretty honest as a seller, and including not only the original installation discs but also any upgrade. I would only sell a Mac if I was replacing it, so I always was getting the brand new version.
    With OSX 10.7, upgrading was done online, with no disks. So the upgrades were tied to an Apple ID rather than the machine. Recently, I sold a MacBook Pro (to upgrade to a 27" iMac), which came with Lion. I had promised the buyer that it would come with Mountain Lion, but I didn't know that the upgrade was tied to my Apple ID. I made good with the buyer by sending along a $20 Apple App Store card so that she could upgrade to Lion.
    So what everyone is saying here is that you need the original Installation discs or Snow Leopard disk to reinstall and wipe out the Mountain Lion that is on your Mac. It doesn't belong to you, it belongs to the seller, and without his Apple ID and password, you cannot use it. Once you do a reinstall of Snow Leopard, then you can upgrade to Lion and then to Mountain Lion. I do not believe you can upgrade directly to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard, but I'm not sure.
    If the seller claimed that you were getting Mountain Lion, then he was lying to you (or being more civil, maybe he just didn't know like I did). If you bought the used machine from Amazon Sellers or from eBay, then you have recourse through the feedback system or through PayPal. If you bought it any other way, you're on your own.

  • I just started my Macbook air the first time, connected it with my wlan and know it asks me for a password and it does not accept the only password I know, what can I do?

    It needs the user password for the wireless router, that would have been set by whomever installed the router, if that was you then try to find the password. If you can not find the password reset the router to factory default and set it up again.

  • HT4623 After installing IOS 6.1.3 I am now unable to install any app.  I hit the "install" it asks me for my password and then is goes back to install.

    After install iOS 6.1.3 everytime I attempt to install any app, I hit "install", it aks me for my password and then clocks for a couple of secs and then goes back to "install" without installing.

    Have you tried a soft reset? Hold down the home and lock buttons until you see the apple icon appaer then let go. If this doesnt work, open iTunes, conect the handset to the computer and do a full restore.
    Hope this helps.

  • My iPad keeps asking me for my password and I correctly put it in and it says I have no Wi-Fi connection but I have at least 2 bars on Wi-Fi. Any advice?

    I got on my Music last night, and it kept asking me for it. I declined it, and it glitches out.
    Then, I entered it, and it said it was wrong. But then I found out the password has been changed.
    I used the new password, and then it said: Cannot Activate:Check your Wi-Fi connection.
    I had at least two bars!! But it still didn't work.

  • I am really upset because I have a subscription to Readers Digest on my iPad and can't access my issues.  It asks me for a password and ID I don't have and I can't figure out how to get help from apple or readers digest.

    Need help and Apple or Reader's Digest are no help

    There is a customer service 800 number on here that may be of some help for you (I hope)
    EDIT. I had a link that was working and now it will not work. OK - this is really ticking me off now. Here is a C&P.
    1.
    Where can I download the Reader's Digest magazine app?
    You can download the app from the Apple App Store : click to RD page in iTunes
    2.
    How much does the app cost?
    It is free to download the app and there’s a gratis previous issue you can sample. Once you’ve downloaded the app, you can buy individual issues ofReader’s Digest for $3.99 each - the same price you’d pay for the print magazine at a newsstand.
    3.
    Can I buy a subscription to Reader’s Digest magazine on the iPad?
    Yes. You can get a month-to-month subscription for $1.99 per issue, or you can get a yearly subscription for $14.99.
    4.
    I already subscribe to the print version of Reader’s Digest. Can I get the digital issues as part of my subscription?
    Yes, for a limited time, U.S. print subscribers can access iPad editions for free. That includes all the additional videos, slide shows, additional articles and cartoons - a terrific value! Just tap the red button at the top right of the screen and follow the instructions. You’ll need the mailing label from a recent issue to enter your subscriber information. Once registered, your email address and ZIP code will serve as your log in username and password.
    5.
    Where on the mailing label can I find my subscription account number?
    As indicated in the image below, the account number is on the second line from the top of your mailing label. It has 10 digits.
    6.
    I entered my account number and ZIP code, but nothing is happening. What should I do?
    Call our toll-free Customer Service number: 877-342-4775.
    7.
    Is access to the iPad app included for international subscribers?
    We’re sorry, but access is available only to subscribers in the United States at this time.
    8.
    I’m not seeing a subscription option in my in-app Store  - what gives?
    You need to update your app in order to subscribe.
    9.
    What content is included in the app?
    Everything that is in the print magazine is also in the app. Plus, bonus photos, articles, videos, cartoons and animation, graphics, and various interactive features.
    10.
    What devices can the app be used with?
    It is available only for the iPad at this time.
    11.
    Will new issues be delivered to the app automatically?
    Not automatically, but you will receive a notification when each new issue becomes available. If you have subscribed to the app you can download it immediately. If not, you can choose to purchase and download the individual issue.
    12.
    Will the issues I purchase expire?
    No. Once you purchase an issue, you will have access to it for as long as you keep the app.
    13.
    About how much memory does one issue take up?
    An average issue will take up between 300 and 500 megabytes. With a good WiFi connection, it should take only a few minutes to download.
    14.
    If I delete an issue, can I download it again for free later?
    Yes. Simply touch the home icon in the upper left corner of your app to go to see all available issues. Tap the “archive” button next to an issue to remove it from your iPad and free up disc space. You can re-download it for free at any time.
    15.
    How do I cancel my subscription?
    Your subscription will renew automatically each month (for monthly subscribers) or each year (for annual subscribers) unless you take action to cancel it. To do so, open the "Settings" app on your iPad and select “Store.” Tap on your Apple ID and select “View Apple ID.” Once your account information appears, scroll down to "Manage App Subscriptions." Here you can turn your subscriptions off and on.
    16.
    Can I share the digital issue with friends?
    No. There are currently no share features available.

  • Hi I want to see my account settings but it keeps asking me for my password and I can not see my account settings what can I do

    Please help me with this I am reaaly anooyed because I can't sicronize my music in the cloud

    If you mean you mean you need to change the iCloud ID, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • HT1414 I restored my ipod, and when i click on back up, it asks me for a password and i forgot that password. Is their any way to reset the password? I need that back up immediately!

    My little sister restore my ipod 5th generation and i want to restore from my last back up. It says, "Enter the password to unlock ipod touch back up". I forgot the password. Is their a way of reseting the password or taking it off?? Please help. (im doing this form my imac)

    Either:
    - Do not restore form that backup
    - Copy the backup file to PC and "crack" the password. and then use that password to restor on your Mac.
    Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press theReturn key.

  • I changed my Apple ID password and validated it OK but when I try to update or download apps now it asks me to enter password and then says it's not been validated.  how do I get out of this?

    I changed my Apple ID password and successfully validated it.  Problem is the iPad App Store won't recognise me anymore.  if I select an App to update it asks me to enter password, then says "You have not verified your Application ID.Tap OK to view the instructions on how to verify your ID.".
    A new pop up box then appears saying an email has been sent to my address.  The box to resend this is greyed out and the bottom line says "your email has already been validated successfully. thank you."
    Any suggestions on how to solve this problem and force the iPad to let me update or download Apps again?

    Same issues here. I try and log into face time and cloud, it tells me my email is not veryfied. I go back through the link sent in the verification email and, low and behold, it tells me my address has already been veryfied.
    Getting really annoyed now. I have tried using a different email to log in with, but not even getting the verify email in my inbox, even after it states it has sent one.
    CMON APPLE!!! Please resolve this glitch.
