Name misspelled, cant open new account

I've read you can't change your name, but when I try and just abandon the account and create a new one, Microsoft says that email is already in use. This sucks big time.  I fat fingered my user name and I am not going to give that out to people.

FYI for any new Leopard installers... If you have a similar issue use the Tiger Discs. The included Leopard disc does NOT have the Erase(format disc) and Install feature. I've completed Leopard install and starting Tiger.. First install took 2hrs...
you must have a drop in version of the leopard DVD. Normal leopard DVDs certainly do have the erase and install option which is the default option, actually.
You can choose the kind of install you do by clicking on "Options" on the screen where you choose the destination drive.
the drop in leopard DVDs indeed require prior Tiger installation and only allow upgrade and install option.
I'm actually very confused by what happened to you. If you did manage to install leopard, what install option did you use?

  • TS4020 Can I change my iCloud email address name without creating a new account?

    CCan I change my iCloud email address name without creating a new account?

    Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
    However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
    More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a

  • Cant open new default iPhoto 11 library

    Hi, I recently downloaded iphoto 11. It seems I now have two iphoto library's, a new 'default' one that wont open and a second one that does open but is missing a whole heap of photo's. What is going on and how do I open the library that I cant open?

    Hi Leonie, from further examination, the 'default' library that wont open is located in users/pictures/iphoto library and is 42gb in size. When I try to open it it tells me that "iphoto library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iphoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iphoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take and hour or more to complete".
    I then press the URGRADE button from where another message appears - "iphoto unable to open this library" and only gives me the option to quit.
    I can open the second library, which is located in "applications/iphoto library" (and is 11.89gb), by opening iphoto while pressing the option button. Interestingly, when i open this iphoto library, iphoto tells me three times "iphoto wants to use your confidential information stored in "publish.me.com" in your key chain" - whatever that means.
    Thanks for your help as I am a bit lost with this and am not keen to lose 42gb of photos's.

  • Lion Reinstall opens new account with no admin rights

    The story so far is that I very stupidly deleted the contents of my 'Private' folder with catastrophic consequences when I went to restart.  I left the contents in the trash but when I went to restart, I simply got the apple logo and spinning wheel. Using my iPad, I went through various options to try reboot before learning that I could reinstall the operating system (Lion) from the recovery disk.  This I did, upon which it asked me to sign up as a new user etc. - I followed all the instructions and got started again.  However I cannot now access any of my files, even though I can see them on the hard drive (I "do not have permission to see the contents of the files").  When I try to use System preferences, it looks as though it might start up, but then just doesnt.  I have reinstalled the whole thing again, but t just went back to asking me to login with the username I set up upon the first reinstall.  I never used to have to put in any password - it just started up straight away.  I am the only user of the computer so have no need for user accounts.  I cant seem to find any info on this problem.  Can someone help?
    Much appreciated.

    Are the users and groups local or in an OD master?

  • How to use a ip address for pop & smtp server names when creating a new account

    My xp PC is on a lan behind a Freebsd os [IE. flavor of unix] which is not running a dns server. The only way to reach it is by ip address. I have configured the account with a ip address for pop & smtp. When I create and sent a email, Thunderbird shows a window saying it trying to connect and after 10 seconds it goes away with out showing the status window. There is no email in the sent folder. Is it possible to do this ???? I can accomplish this using ms/outlook so I know it is possible.

    I haven't tried this in years, but could you give this server a name and enter that into TB
    Then in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts you add that name and ip

    Re: IPAD2 very slow after IOS 8 upgradein response to pacoKAS
    SOLVED:  IOS 8 Issues on iPad 2:
    I just returned home from a visit to the Genius Bar. Like you and many others, when I upgraded my iPad 2 to IOS 8, it became practically unusable. It was VERY slow, lagged whenever trying to to do anything. Lots of screen freezes and apps spontaneously crashing. I was convinced that the processor on the iPad 2 just couldn't handle the new IOS and I went in to see about restoring to IOS 7.
    Thankfully, I was hooked up with a very sharp guy at the bar. The problem is not with the OS, it is with it being an *upgraded* OS. He used the analogy of when you had an older Windows computer and how over time (and over upgrades), they just tended to get slower and slower because of all of the garbage that was carried forward in the upgrades. At those times (and if you've ever had a Windows computer, you get this), the only thing that would speed it up would be to wipe the machine and do a fresh install of the current OS and then reload your apps, and the viola, everything would be fast again. Well, it turns out that IOS can suffer the same problems.
    THE FIX:  FIRST, be sure you have a current iCloud backup of your device.  Connect your iPad to a computer that has a clean fresh copy of IOS 8 on iTunes (this is best done with a computer other than the one that you sync your device to because you DO NOT want to restore it from a back up just yet). Ideally, if you do this at an Apple store you'll be assured of the right version there and someone to answer any questions you might have along the way. You then hold the power and home button down to hard-reset the device and continue to hold them down until it reboots into recovery mode. You then follow the instructions on the computer to reinstall the OS on the device (which wipes everything from it and then reinstalls a clean copy of it). Once this is done (which only takes about 15 minutes), your device will reboot and ask you to set it up. Answer the questions about language, location, etc. and continue until it asks you to log into your iTunes account. Once you do that, it will ask if you want to either 1) Set it up as a new device, 2) Restore from iCloud, or 3) Restore from iTunes. Choose (2), restore from iCloud. This will ensure that it brings down "clean" copies of all of your apps and preferences rather than the potentially corrupted ones that might reside in your iTunes backup. That's it! It will take a few hours depending on how much data and apps you have, but I am happy to report that my iPad 2 is now running IOS 8 and it's running as fast as it ever did when it was brand new!
    To sum it up, this process 1) Wipes your device and the garbage causing your problems, 2) Loads a clean and bug-free version of IOS 8 to your device, and 3) restores your apps and data so that it looks just like it did before the wipe, with the exception that it works now!  :-)
    Note also that by following this process you don't have to go through the painful and laborious process of reloading all of your apps, data and/or settings. iCloud takes care of all of that for you.

  • Edited video file name now cant open in other programs

    Opened a MPEG video file in HP MediaSmart video Main program and edited the file name. Now when I try to open the file it will not open in Windows Media player or my other video edit/programs.  I did not make a copy of the file or do I have a backup, it's the original.  How can I fix this?

    @Goonies_2015 ,
    Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums.  What I expect you have done when doing the change to the file and saving you ended up removing the .avi or .mpg file extension.
    So what you can try is to go to the file where ever it is located.  Copy the file then paste it.  Then rename the file whateveryouwant.avi or .mpg.  If this does not work then you may have edited it and saved the blank formatted file with no extension.  If that is the case I am not sure if you can recover it.
    Here are some links you can check out.

    Now the two links may not be exactly what you need but may have the answer when it comes to recovering video files.
