Need help replacing old apple id with new one

hi. i'm trying to update (in icloud) an appleid with an email from 5 years ago. i was able to delete the old email on my iphone, but do not see an option for this on my mac. when i went through the 'verify your id' process, it shows the current id/email that i use for itunes, etc. however, there is no way, it seems to delete the old email/id on the mac and replace with the new. i would appreciate any advice or experience, thank you in advance.

If you have changed your iCloud ID and are now trying to change the iCloud ID on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.

Need help linking old Apple ID to new iCloud account.

I recently closed my iCloud account, which was the same email address for my Apple ID for personal reasons. I was forced to use a new email to open a new iCloud account. Now I cannot link the two because when I try to add my original Apple ID email address to my new iCloud account, it says my old email is already linked to another account.
How can I back things up to iCloud when the system will not let me link my original Apple ID with a new iCloud account?

When you sign in with a new Apple ID you create a new iCloud account, so if you are signed into a new account, your backups and other synced data will be in the new account, not the old one. Also, iCloud email accounts cannot be moved to another account. You can either start using your new iCloud email account, give your contacts your new address and forward email sent to the old address to the new one, or you can add back your old iCloud account as a secondary account on your device by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and signing in with your old ID. You can then turn on Mail in the secondary account and access your old email account on your device again. The only limitation of this is that email in secondary accounts is fetch, not push email. Push email is only supported in your primary iCloud account.

How can I use the old Apple TV with new iTunes? It tells me to input a code in iTunes but iTunes no longer has a spot to input this code to allow sync. I can access the iTunes Store fine, just none of my Library

Hi mshields1162,
Great question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
First, you may want to choose to have the sidebar displayed for familiarity:
iTunes 11: Frequently used features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
Afterwards, your device should be displayed if connected:
We'll want to click on it, and choose the Music tab at the top. Let's make sure "Sync Music" is checked:
Afterwards, you'll have the option to sync either the entire music library (for your first iPod), or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" (for the secondary device). Upon selecting this option, four larger option boxes will appear allowing you to pick and choose what content will be synced. For audiobooks, you may need to do the above in the "Books" section. For a visual instruction on how to do this, see the following:

I have replaced my old Mac Mini with new one. What should I do about my Time Capsule?

With the old Mac Mini (2009 model) I used Time Machine and a Time Capsule to back up everything on the Mac Mini itself and on external hard drive I added when I needed more storage space. I've replaced the old Mac Mini with a 2011 model, and migrated the contents of the old one to the new one from Time Machine.
I'm now trying to figure out what I should do to my Time Capsule and/or Time Machine to make backups going forward of the same content, now on my new Mac Mini and same external hard drive.
When I go into Time Machine, it does not seem to recognise the items on the external hard drive as ones that I can backup (or not, as there were some items there that I did not and do not wish to backup to Time Capsule) through the new Mac Mini.
I am uncertain too whether the Time Machine/Time Capsule will recognise the items of my old Mac Mini as the same ones that are now on my new Mac Mini and save changes there, or whether it will try to save all over again all the same items, as they are now on a different computer.
My inclination is to clear out the contents of the Time Capsule now and start all over again.
I have looked through information provided by Apple but not found answers to my questions.

The situation concerning the hard drive is complicated. It is not included in the list of Excluded Items.
If the drive is not "Excluded", then it must be included. That is the way that Apple's software works.
But, nor am I given the option to select it or any of the items in it for adding to the list of Excluded Items.
If you want to add an item to the list of Excluded items, click the + button at the bottom of the Excluded list, then navigate to select the drive to add it. Once the drive has been added, you can go back in and select the items.
When I go into the exclude from backup area and select the hard drive, it and the items in it appear in dimmed form, but I cannot select them.
Sorry, I do not understand what you are trying to say here.
What I want to do, but cannot, is what I did before, select one of the items in it not to be backed up and leave the rest to be backed up
I have no idea how you were able to do this. As long as I can remember, Time Machine will not allow you to pick and choose items on a drive to be backed up or excluded. Your option is to have the entire drive backed up, or the entire drive to not be backed up.
have not seen the 'Quick Erase' option.
You would use AirPort Utility to erase the Time Capsule drive. Open AirPort Utillty and click the Disks tab at the top of the screen. Then, click Erase Disk. The Quick Erase option will appear.

My old MacBook is dogging it lately. Need help until I can get a new one.

I only use this thing for emails and scanning the internet. No movies, DVD's, music. I use it for nothing much really. All of my space should be FREE! I have 2 GB's only. How do I clean this thing up and get rid of all of the crap? I can't afford a new one right now and need to clean this MacBook up for now as it's gotten very sluggish.
System Memory:
Free 12 mb
Wired 326.5 MB
Active 1.10 GB
Used 1.99 GB
Inactive 584 MB
I should be able to clean out and trash the majority of whatever it is that is slowing this thing down... BUT HOW DO I DO THAT? I am not computer literate.

Get this app and run it.
http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnidisksweeper/
It will identify what is on the drive and how big each item is. And you can navigate through the contents to find folders within folders within...
When you find anything you dont need, select it and delete it.
Be patient and let ODS sweep the drive completely before doing anything.
DO NOT TOUCH the System folder.

Replace old Hard Drive with 4TB ones on ix2-dl

I ordered the ix2-dl with two 4TB seagate hard disks (ST4000DM000) which is on the official support list. The hard drive came a couple days later than the ix2-dl. So I tried the ix2-dl with an old 640GB hard drive.
Now ix2-dl seems to like my old 640GB a lot. I could either use it alone or use it with one 4TB drive. It proves that ix2-dl does support the 4TB hard drive. It's just I couldn't use both 4TB together...
When I put two 4TB hard drive in, it ended up with lower light solid blue and upper light flashing red. The LenovoEMC Storage Manager shows the error message "Storage failed and some data loss may have occurred."
The web management screen (http://ix2-dl/manage/restart.html) shows the message "Device Software Restart In Progress. The device is starting up..." It will hang up there forever.
I cleaned the 4TB drive with diskpart in windows 7 before put into ix2-dl. Abd firmware is the latest 4.1.104.31360.
I saw jlamendola get this fixed with factory reset in another thread. But I couldn't really get to the factory reset page in the web management portal... The reset button on the back doesn't help. I even tried to do the factory reset with old 640GB drive and choose shutdown after reset. I could only get there with the old 640GB drive. Then I could switch to 4TB drive. But it still gave me the same error message and red flash light ...

Finally I solved the problem.
I cleaned another 1TB drive by using DISKPART as suggested in manual. I was able to access web management with this drive. Then I choose option of factory reset & Power Off.
After power OFF I replaced 1TB drive with new 3TB (already cleaned) drive. NAS accepted this time. I hope it will run smoothly now onwards. Though problem is solved I still didn't understood why it not worked with my new drive.
Future Improvement :
The software restrction of disabling the management page should be removed, so that in such case user should be able to access management page even if the disk is not present atleast for ix2-dl which has the firmware on device itself & not on hard drive.

Do I need to remove old drivers before installing new ones (Windows XP)

I have an Acer Aspire 3690 laptop with Windows XP home edition installed. I've reinstalled the OS by using recovery tool, updated it again. I want to finish setting my laptop up by updating some drivers, mainly chipset and GPU. I've already found that newer ones are availabe. But do I need remove the old drivers first to avoid any problems in the future? Or do I just run the setup executable of every driver?

Run the setup and check if the new one are installed; if not remove the old drivers and install the new.

Need help replacing a Netgear router with my old used wrt54g from another house.

I had a WRT54G at my old house that was working great. Now the renters moved out and I got the router back. I have been having some issues with the netgear router Im using now so I would like to replace it with the Linksys. How do I do this? Do I need to hit the reset button? What do I set the settings at and how do I set up security so others can't access my network.

Whoaw! Take it easy Ragnar....
It is easy to setup the router with your existing network. I'd like to know your ISP. In a way, you can have the router set up manually according to your ISP settings, whether it is cable or DSL.
For setting up the wireless to be secured, you can check this link.
for heads up! <<<call_me_jam_>>>

Need help setting up a network with new Airport Extreme

Hey All I need some help. Networks, Wan, WPA it's all greek to me. Here's what I am trying to do, I have a newer imac, an ipod touch, a apple TV and the kids have a laptop running on Vista. I have a DSL internet connection through Verizon with a Westell VersaLink Model 327W router. I disabled the wireless option on the versalink and hooked the Ethernet cable from the versalink to my Airport extreme. I am trying to figure out how to set things up so I can restrict the kids laptop from the internet after say 9pm but allow everything else unlimited access. I've read other posts and the manual but can't figure it out. When I turn the Airport off Bridge mode i get a bunch of errors re DHCP beginning and ending addresses and have no clue how to set this up. Before I spend hours on the phone with tech support I figured someone out there may be able to help. This can't be to difficult or is it?

I had to call Verizon and spend an hour on the phone, my Versalink is about 3 years old and I never updated it. There is a software update which makes it a little more mac friendly. Cables still run through it on the Ethernet port. I was able to turn the wireless feature off on the Versalink (to stop my neighbors and kids from bypassing the APE and just factory reset the APE and set it up with a shared IP adrs instead of bridging it. Also made sure I turned off the guest network on the APE. Once it was set up I clicked on Airport in the Airport Utility then wireless Clinets, jotted down the client I wanted to restrict access to (Kid's Laptop) then go back to Airport screen, last option on right Access then MAC Adrs Access Control change to "Timed Access", then click the + on the bottom of the window, type the MAC adrs you want to restrict and set time limits, when complete click done..... Only took me a week and a half to figure it out...... Good luck, if that doesn't help let me know, but I'm no expert...
thanks!!
i think i have the most recent 327w update, because it now shows my modem screen in a red color and it is broken into 3 sections across the screen.
as far as the AEBS is concerned, you did not use it in bridge mode at all?
i thought you had to connect 1 cable from it to the 327w? I have about 5 items i will be connecting, so i will probably run any wired from the AESB, but not sure yet?
thanks, and yaeh last time my network took me a bit of time as well!!
what kind of encryption are you running?
thanks

Old Apple ID with new iPad

Setting up new iPad, I input existing apple ID and password for macbook pro, then get message asking for email address, when I type in email, I get message "Apple Id is already taken", which then prompts me to reset my password if I have forgotten it... what do i do?

You were not able to edit your AppleID in the Manage Your Apple ID screen?
Having two Apple IDs will make things more complicated, but to make it as easy as possible, I would suggest two things:
Keep all your stuff, regardless of which AppleID it is purchased under, in the same iTunes library on your computer
Make the password the same for both AppleIDs and keep it in sync
This will make updates much easier, and will also enable you to download, via a computer sync, any and all purchases from either ID to your devices. For the updates part, having a single password will mean that regardless of which ID you might have purchased a particular App under, if it needs an update, you won't care which ID is displaying - you just type in the password which is the same for both, and you are good to go. (not even sure the new iPad with the latest IOS even requires the password anymore. I know my iPhone no longer does, so that may be a moot point....)
Anyway, hope this helps!
Cheers,

Need help replacing Windows Vista Basic with XP Pro on T500

Okay guys...My vista basic is not sustaining itself much longer so I want to get rid of it and downgrade to XP...but there seem to be a lot of problem/obstacle/issue...
I can't seem to restore my factory content from the hard drive and I don't have enough cd to copy the reserved factory partition...I'm thinking if I don't touch on that partition during the xp install, is there a program I can download to have my xp access that partition afterwards?
I downloaded all the drivers and lenovo software from the website; what I don't have is the SP2 slipstream...instead I have a original XP "gold" but I just can't seem to burn a slipstream into a bootable one so I'm wondering if the original "gold" wil do...?
and since this is XP installation I've been reading the access help article on the the installation and the Matrix storage driver..which doesn't make much sense since it seem to refer to driver file on C: while scrapping Vista will surely wipe it off....
currently i'm living with Vista in safe mode only and have no clue what to do...
can people please guide me through what should I do here...Thanks.
+if you need clarification I'll glad to provide more detail and clarify...and please no "update to 7" suggestion..

Hi drixmanbeta,
Which manufacturer provided this XP gold version is? whether it will work or not; your guess is good as mine.
The proceeding guide is very detailed guide on installing XP on thinkpads, you will find it quite helpful:- http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=188992
As for Windows to access the factory partition, it is always hidden from Windows, the OS has no way to retrieve it even though it is visible in disk manager. On the other hand, you can subsequently fix the corrupt boot sector on clean install:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-54483 [which will make thinkvantage button to access service partition during startup]
The ability to create RnR discs is only accessible on factory preload so you will have no such privilege on clean install.
Hope it helps.

Need help replacing original audio track with song.

Hi experts
I'm in the process of trying to create a movie for my daughters. What I did was film my daughters signing to a song that was playing on a CD player. I'd like to remove the audio track and replace it with the same song I purchased on Itunes. So far I able to import the video and song and put them on the timeline.
Now I can't never get the song I added to the timeline to play. How can this be done? And, please, point me to a good book
Thanks,
Francis Ouellet

Yes, I import both the movie and the song into the browser. Then I drag and drop the video into the timeline (V1) the corresponding audio track is moved automatically to A1 and A2. This plays well. Now I drag and drop my purchased song to the timeline (A3 and A4). If I hit the play button it only plays my video and sound (With a beep every second or so).
It just seems that the video and music tracks aren't linked together. Sorry, just purchased FCE this weekednd
