I changed my apple id email address to try jumpstart my account to send me a verification email for iCloud activation. It worked but now I cannot change back to my original email address. It says its in use.

Hi Guys
I am writing this on behalf of a friend of mine. To understand my issue let me explain how it started. My friend has a apple ID with email address (lets call it) [email protected] when activating iCloud on her iPhone a email was sent to verify her account. This was not done and rendered the iCloud feature disabled due to not being activated. [email protected] is the correct email address and works. A form of troubleshooting I used the iForgot service to test if the email address was correct and mail flow from apple was working and it worked fine.
I logged into apple id to manage account and resend activation email for iCloud. this did not send the mail. I waited 48hrs but to no avail.
I decided to kickstart the account to force it to send to another email address by changing the primary email address from [email protected] to [email protected] it worked and I verified the address and iCloud is now active. However now I cannot change the primary email address back to [email protected] as it says its being used by another apple ID.
I then tried iForgot with the [email protected] email address, it says it sent a email to [email protected] but nothing arrived in [email protected] or [email protected]
I have this feeling the [email protected] is stuck I'm memory on my apple ID some how but can't get it to forget [email protected] so that I can use it as my primary email address again.
I have tried to log into iTunes with my original details [email protected] and password but says its incorrect.
any advices in this would be greatly appreciated.

The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

Once I turn off the browser and then try to use it later, I get a message saying its already running but not responding. tells me to close it which I cant do since its already closed. Forces me to restart my computer

Each time I start, use and close Firefox, when I try to use it the 2nd time, I get a message saying its already running but not responding. It Isn't. I have to restart my computer everytime I want to use Firefox.

'''Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox SafeMode is a diagnostic mode that disables extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes before starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

Other than an occasional restart, OS X tune-ups are not necessary or required like in Windoz.
It is best just to enjoy your Mac and don't try to fix something that isn't broken.
If you seriously need to free up some Hard Disk Space...(you never said how full it is)...? Your best bet it to move something like an iTunes, iPhoto or iMovie Library to an External Hard Drive. Problem is, that requires at least two or more External Hard Drives, so that your Library(s) are also backed up.

iPhoto: How to move the Library folder to a new location

What is a file call ZTE_P18E_111 loggingdameon 13-17-31? Cannot delete it - says its in use. Think its slowing up my computer!

Recently purchased a new smart phone and downloaded some relevant files. Now my My iMac is continually running. I've found there is a file titled ZTE_P18E_111 loggingdameon 13-17-31 that I cannot delete. (The phone didn't work out, but now I can't remove this file - says its in use). Not sure if this file is the problem, but my iMac never did this before. Can anyone explain how to remove this file?

If it's a daemon then, yes, it will be 'in use' since it's actively running on your machine, so you can't delete it.
Typically there are two approaches to this - one is to attempt to move/delete the file while it's active and then reboot - the premise being that it won't be able to relaunch after a reboot and therefore you'll be free to delete it.
The second approach is to stop the process first - this is probably the safer/cleaner approach.
Note that orthogonal to this is whether the OS will try to restart the process at the next reboot/login - removing the file, and even stopping it temporarily, doesn't necessarily mean the OS won't try to restart it later, with a continuous launch failure. For this reason it's sometimes better (harder?) to find where it's getting started from and nix it that way.
I'd start by looking in /Library/LaunchDaemons for a file that corresponds to the ZTE process - with luck it'll be obvious, and this would be the file that's triggering the process to launch at boot time. You should be able to move this file to the trash (or anywhere outside of /Library/LaunchDaemons) and restart your machine, and the process shouldn't restart. Then, of course, you're also free to delete the ZTE file as well.

HT2905 How do I display duplicates on the newest version of itunes?.help says its under file, but it is no longer there!

How do I display duplicates on the newest version of itunes?.help says its under file, but it is no longer there!

The show duplicates/show exact duplicates features have been left out of iTunes 11.0. Rumor suggests they will be restored in the next build. In the meantime I have written two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates, either from a selection of tracks or the entire library. Note that, as with the iTunes feature, this list makes no distinction between "originals" and "dupes", you have to decide which is which.
There is also my DeDuper script for automatically removing duplicate copies but keeping one remaining copy of each set. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.
If you want to manually remove duplicate tracks use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send the others to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file. Same advice to backup applies.

I have a late 2011 macbook pro and it wont update the firmware to 2.7, it downloads the update then says its installing it but when i go back to software update it keeps coming up saying it needs to be updated

I have a late 2011 macbook pro running OSX Lion, and it wont update the firmware to 2.7, it downloads the update then says its installing it but when i go back to software update it keeps coming up saying it needs to be updated. Im wondering what can i do to stop this or get it to update.

Once it is downloaded you need to restart the computer if it does not restart automatically. When it next starts up you should note a progress bar appearing below the Apple logo. When done the computer will restart once more. The new firmware should now be installed.

My phones imessege has not been working, it connects to my email but not my phone number it says its an option but its in grey and i am not able to click it as an option

i have a iphone 5 and my phones imessege has not been working, it connects to my email but not my phone number it says its an option but its in grey and i am not able to click it as an option

Depending on what iPhone you have when you get to the connect to wifi you should be able to activate your device over cellular data. Try doing a hard reset by holding the home circle button an power button until an apple pops up and the go through the setup again and when you get to the wifi part a option should be setup with cellular data iPhone 4 and above should give this option sometimes doesn't like showing up that's why u have to do a hard reset first

Iphone 5c says its not charging, but it is ?

Last week there was a little peice of fluff in my charging port, and it ended up getting it out with the end of an earring, but since then when i plug my iphone in, it doesnt say its connected or charging, but over night it went from 11% to 50%. even now it still does slowly charge, but when i unplug it, it looses its battery faster than it did before. Any help please ?

Did you look on all of the screens? It may have gotten installed on one you weren't expecting. Does it show up when you do a Spotlight search?

Hi
I have a folder full of .mov files but can't delete any of them, I get a message "File in use" but it isn't. Have managed to delete using Terminal, but that is a pain. New files have the same problem, have tried unlocking them and restarting the computer, but no joy. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello
you may try this
- use little app like Onyx download here
