Need help retrieving my old password ?

Basically, i bought myself a new ipad since my original ipad wouldn't charge, i tried using a bunch of different charging cables and several different 10W USB power adapters.
So i got my new ipad running iOS 6 and i try to sign into with my Apple ID, i use the correct email address, and all the passwords i can think of. But i am unable to download applications as the password is incorrect.
It asks me to enter some answers to security questions, i answer the first question, but don't know the answer to the second question, and don't remember choosing it, so i also try the "Send recovery email" option. However i've tried looking in all the email addresses i own, but cannot find the email. So i am unable to reset my password since i don't receive an email.
I would like to login to my original account so that i can restore my apps, because i have spent quite a lot of money on Applications which i now cannot download since i can't login.
Does anyone know if there is a way around this, without phoning apple ?
In case you're wondering how i typed this if i've forgotten my Apple ID, it's simple, i created a new account.
Thanks in advance

OK, any version of Palm Desktop 4.x should be fine. Palm Desktop 6.x uses a different file format.
I would suggest creating a new HotSync profile in Palm Desktop. That will create a new HotSync ID folder on your computer. Then take the old .dat file that you want to read, and drop it into the address folder in the new HotSync ID folder. The old .dat file will overwrite the new .dat file. Make sure that Palm Desktop isn't open when you do this.
Back in Palm Desktop, switch to the new HotSync ID. You should be able to read the contents of the .dat file in the Contacts application. You can then export the record(s) you need back to your current HotSync profile.

I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help suiting the old apple I'd because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions

I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help switching the old apple ID because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions or the login for that old email.

You cannot do that. The AppleID you used to create the iCloud account is an active primary email address. The email address you created with the iCloud account is also an active primary email address (all Apple domain email address automatically become AppleIDs as well). You cannot replace the primary email address on one active AppleID with the primary email address on another, active AppleID.
You can use your iCloud email/AppleID with iTunes, but it will be a separate account, so all your previous purchases remain tied to the other AppleID you have.
I don't understand your statement that you could not remeber your old AppleID password, as you would have had to use it to create the iCloud account in the first place (the first step of creating the iCloud account required you to login with your existing AppleID and password)?

Need help retrieving my photoshop elements 2.0 due to virus scan removing it

need help retrieving my photoshop elements 2.0 due to virus scan removing it - i have everything removed from scan in quarantine but have no idea which one is what i need to reverse and allow my photoshop elements 2.0 (old version, I know, but I love it) to work again

Use the anti-virus program to reverse everything it quarantined and in future ensure the anti-virus program settings let you check and decide what items to quarantine and what to ignore. Letting an anti-virus program quarantine things automatically is a recipe for disaster.
You could also check if you have a System Restore point from before the anti-virus run.

I need help identifying an old Macintosh game: it was a painting game where you rode a roller coaster to an art museum and you got to pick what kind of art work you were going to make. This was the early 90's and I've been trying to hunt it down

I need help identifying an old Macintosh game: it was a painting game where you rode a roller coaster to an art museum and you got to pick what kind of art work you were going to make. It was animated, 2D i believe. This was the early 90's and I've been trying to hunt it down. I think there was some kind of animal in it, a giraffe maybe?

Could you be thinking of Microsoft Home's "Fine Artist" for Macintosh, as shown in this Amazon.com listing? This program was bundled with the Performa series of Macs during the mid-90s.

Need Help, retrieving a combo boxes actual/print/visible value instead of the export value.

Hello,
I need help, retrieving a combo boxes actual value, not the export value.
I have a combo box with multiple options to select from.
each of those selections has a separate export value, which is in the form of a number, which I use to calculate dates in a separate field.
However, I have another field that i want to retrieve the, users selected value, which is text, from the combo box instead of the export value.
Is there an easy way to do this.
This is what I am currently using. But like I said the results are that I retrieve the export value and not the selected text value.
event.value = this.getField("_Arugula").valueAsString;
Thanks

First get the currentValueIndices property of the combo box and use it with the getItemAt field method to return (what I call) the display value. Something like:
var f = getField("combo1");
var display_value = f.getItemAt(f.currentValueIndices, false);
See the documentation for more information

HT1349 I need help finding an old library that itunes states my ipod is already linked to

I need help finding an old library that it states my ipod is already linked to. My computer recently had a terrible virus and needed to be wiped clean. I had to redownload itunes and I bought several songs. I want to add them to my old library because I had several cd's that I had uploaded. Is there a way to find that old library and combine them without having to erase all the songs that are currently on my ipod??? Thanks

Umm. If you wiped the hard drive, then all old libraries are gone unless you have them on backup.

I need help to change the password to my Apple ID

I have two apple ID's I made the second one for my iCloud when I bought my iPad not knowing that I could have used my normal Apple ID that I use for everything else. Now I cant sign out of that apple ID in my icloud on all three of my devices my iphone 4, my ipad and my iphone 5 I currently use, because I cannot for the life of me remember my password!
I have tried everything I can remember and none of the passwords I was sure would work, works. So first of all I tried to have apple send me an email to reset my password and no email is received in my email account from apple, I have checked my other two email addresses I use thinking maybe I entered those as my alternate email addresses and there is nothing from apple in either of them for this particular apple ID. Then I tried the option to answer my security questions and it doesn't even recognise my date of birth linked with this apple ID! which is ridiculous because the account is mine. So I started googleing and found that I could change my normal apple id with the one I want to change the password to but when I enter that email it says 'email must be valid,be available and not be a domain owned by apple' and it wont let me save that email address to do that.
Then I found a video on youtube that tells you how to unlock it and delete it from your device without the password but it only works if the icloud is actually signed in and mine isn't signed in so I can't even do that, mine is signed out on all my devices but still on my phones and ipad and everything is grey so I cant click into anything! and every time I use my phone or ipad and go into safari or anything else a box pops up every two seconds asking me to sign into icloud its soo frustrating to have to click cancel every single time and now that I'm so fed up with it I thought I would now reset my password thinking it wouldn't be hard to do as I usually forget my passwords to almost everything and am constantly resetting them its become the most difficult thing to do with apple!
I called apple support and they were trying to get me to do all these things in my settings and nothing worked! I've been needing to call them back and ask if there is a way they can just reset my password for me or if my phone number is linked with my apple ID so maybe they could text me my reset key, does anybody know if they can do that? usually these days everything can be texted to you like my email provider and net bank providers but Apple seem to not even have that option or can anyone tell me how I can hack into my own account? also I went to that "find my apple ID" thing when you go to sign in and popped in all my possible email addresses, either all together or one each with my name and it wont find this apple ID I'm locked into it's like it doesn't even exists anymore but it does exists I remember creating it, its still on all my devices with my picture there as well! I've even been thinking I should go to a hypnotist or something to help me remember this password its making me so frustrated I've never had a password of mine that I have forgotten that I've never been able to reset or crack back into but Apple makes this so difficult. can anybody help?

Restore it.

Need help with boot up password

Hi I need help with my IBM G41 think pad I when to sleep one night and I put some papers on the keys then close the lid with the papers in between on top of the keys now I get need a password when I started my PC can some some help me with this . Or is there any one whom had this some problem . I see a lock on the screen .

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but why don't you have the password already? did the computer just randomly lock you out of it? If that is the case, that would be really strange. If there is no bios password on the computer, you should be able to reset the password in the bios.

HT4859 I need help restore my old messages and pictures to my phone. I did a restore from my computer and my boyfriends stuff downloaded on my phone. How do I get my stuff back?

I need help restoring all of my pictures and infor to my phone. My ex boyfriend info started downloading on my phone and earsed all of my info

Mission accomplished. While waiting for your reply,. I found an article that mentioned a copy/paste of the following code from the old pref.js to the new pref.js:
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.OutlookExpressAddressBoo.position", 0);
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.OutlookExpressAddressBoo_1.description", "Outlook Express Address Book");
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.OutlookExpressAddressBoo_1.dirType", 2);
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.OutlookExpressAddressBoo_1.filename", "impab-1.mab");
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.OutlookExpressAddressBoo_2.description", "Outlook Express Address Book");
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.OutlookExpressAddressBoo_2.dirType", 2);
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.OutlookExpressAddressBoo_2.filename", "impab.mab");
That identified the impab.mab file, and now all my contacts are showing.

I got my mac from granddaughter.need help to change admin password

i just got my mac from granddaughter. i need help to change the admin password. she has no clue what i am talking about when i ask for the password. please help me. i can't even install my tiger replacement cd until i change the admin password. thanks for your help. lee

Hi, Lee. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
From this Apple Knowledge Base article:
Start up from a Mac OS X Install disc (one whose version is closest to the version of Mac OS X installed). Usually, you can start from the disc by putting it in your computer, restarting, and holding the C key. Or, put it in the computer and click the Install or Restore icon you see in the disc's main window (after which the computer will start from the disc without you needing to hold C). Or, you can use Startup Manager or the Startup Disk preference pane to select the Install disc.
Choose a language, click the arrow button to continue,
Mac OS X v10.6 or later: Choose Password Reset from the Utilities menu.
Mac OS X v10.5 or v10.4: Choose Reset Password from the Utilities menu.
Mac OS X v10.3: Choose Reset Password from the Installer menu.
Tip: If you don't see this menu or menu choice, you're probably not started from the disc yet.
Note: The default keyboard layout is U.S. English while started from the installation disc. If you use a keyboard layout other than U.S English, use the Input menu (the flag icon on the right side of the menu bar) to select the desired layout before typing a new password.
Select your Mac OS X hard disk volume.
Select the user name of your original administrator account.
Important: Do not select "System Administrator (root)". This is actually the root user. You should not confuse it with a normal administrator account.

Re: I need help with wi-fi password

i need help with wi-fi pass word

I am trying to connect my iPhone with my wireless router and looks to be rejecting the password I have saved for my password for my rounter. I tried emailing for it and the support page for this is not recognizing what I think would have been the email I had at the time it was set up--we are currently not using that email address--and tried by current internet email and it's rejecting that too. I registered as a new user to get in to look for help on this. My previous email probably would have been [email protected]
I have my serial number and such to my router (model: WRT54GSv1.1) if needed. Please advise.

I need help retrieving Microsoft files lost when upgrading to OSX Mavericks

My daughter recently upgraded our Mac to the OSX Mavericks platform. Unfortunately, all of our Microsoft files, etc. are gone! I need to know how I can retrieve these files or if I can. I'm honestly not impressed with this new platform. I need help asap and your help is truly appreciated.

You have to make the backup yourself. That's your only protection against file loss whether accidental or catastrophic. In fact you should have at least two of them - each done differently and on separate drives.
If your files truly were "erased" then you can see if they can be recovered:
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
     used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
     requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
     drive being backed up.
3. Time Machine requires a backup drive that is at least double the
     capacity of the drive(s) it backs up.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
1. Cool Drives
2. OWC
3. WiebeTech
4. Firewire Direct
5. California Drives
6. NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

HT1920 I need help removing my old email address

I have a new email address and need to remove the old one can you help me with that?

Assuming that this is for your iTunes account, then on your iPad you can tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log into the account and you should be able to update your account's primary email address - or you can do it via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com
