Need help with what to do if I want to change my apple id but my id is my icloud e-mail address

Hello,
I have spent days and hours trying to find a definite answer on what I can do with my situation. I have been able to figure out that I cannot change my apple id because my apple id is my icloud e-mail address. But does that leave me no option? Does that mean that I will have to create a new apple id and subsequently I will also get a new icloud e-mail address? If so, then how will I retain all of my purchases? Is it possible to delete my icloud account and then change my apple id?
I would really appreciate anyone that can give me a clear answer on this. Thanks!!

Sorry I missed this post earlier. For some reason I didn't get an email alert that you had posted.
If you want to want to change your Apple ID and your iCloud email address, you'll need to create a new Apple ID using the name you want, then create a new iCloud account with it and migrate your data to the new account. After creating your new Apple ID, save any photo stream photos on your iOS device that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Then sign back in with a new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data to the new account. You will then have to recreate your notes in the new account from the emails you sent earlier. When you turn on Mail in Settings>iCloud you will choose your new @icloud.com email address.
Once this is done on the first device, if you have other devices, you can just save any photo strema photos, delete the existing account, then choose Delete from My iDevice (since the data is already in the new account) and sign back in with the new ID to download the data.
You'll then have to decide if you want to keep using the old ID for iTunes or not. Personally, I wouldn't recommend changing it to a new ID for several reasons. First, all of your current purchased media is tied to the current ID and cannot be moved to your new ID. This means that you will end up with different things purchased with different IDs over time, which can make things complicated. Secondly, if you have already enabled automatic downloads, or have downloaded previous purchased using your old ID, you cannot change it to your new ID for 90 days from the time you first did this. Once this waiting period expires you can then change to the new ID and access previous purchases with your new ID, but you would not be able to access previous purchased from the old ID again for another 90 days. (This is what I mean by it being complicated to have multiple Apple IDs for iTunes purchases.)

I want to change my Apple ID for IPad because forgot password and all email addresses changed so cannot get informations for password reset. What can I do?

I was wondering if you ever figured this out. I have the same issue. When I try to use the support communities, there are so many with the same problems and never seem to be any replys?? Not very helpful and I can not get Apple to return my emails.

I need help with motion control. I am programming in Visual Basic. I will need help with what parts I need to purchase from NI, along with help on the code.

I am using a Papst servo motor and I need to know where to start and what to purchase to get this motor to spin. I am using visual basic and in my program I calculate the direction and RPM's needed from the motor. It will spin anywhere from 1 to 10000 RPM's. It seems rather easy, but I have no idea on how to spin the motor at the specific RPM, and stop it with a command stop in the program. Please help.

We really should know a little more about your intended uses for this system, but assuming you want to do relatively simple (or even not so simple!) motion, you'll need a few components...
A motion controller, such as the PCI-7342, can take your VB commands and turn them into the commands needed to "run" the motor. Next you'll need a drive, such as the MID-7342. This includes the servo amplifier that actually powers the motor. It also has connections to "pass through" the encoder signals from the motor back to the motion controller.
The above-named pieces assume one or two axes of motion. You'll also need a cable to connect the two (can't remember the model right now). You can use MAX to configure the motion controller, and there are just a few VB calls you
'll need to make using NI-Motion functions to define the motion and get it going.
Hope this helps!

Cleaning up my new Thinkpad need help with what to Uninstall

So I finally got my new thinkpad T520 set up with Windows 7 and I currently have all the prepackaged Lenovo Programs and thinkvantage tools installed. I am trying to optimize my system right now and I am wondering which programs I should keep and which I should delete.
I already have Revo uninstaller, CCleaner, and ESET NOD32 smart security antivirus so I already have some good utilities to clean my system.
Basically if anyone could help me determine which lenovo programs to keep and which to uninstall I would be very greatful. I dont need this computer to be a screamer, but I would like a stable computer that is as fast as possible.
Thanks

from your list, i don't use the following:
Screen reading optimizer
Simple tap
Solution Center
AutoLock
Communications utility
truthfully, Lenovo's factory load is lighter than most every other OEM load i've worked with.
if you want to further optimize your machine's running state, you should have a look at the blackviper site to dig through your running Windows services. even if you choose not to modify anything, it's quite educational. http://www.blackviper.com/
you can also go through your system's start-up programs and what-not. apps like acrobat reader install update checkers that load at every boot and run in the background. i like a Microsoft tool named Autoruns for this task. it's part of the Sysinternals suite. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/sysinternals

Need help with what to do with iTunes switch

I recently purchased a new computer and obviously would like to transfer my old music, playlists, etc. from my old computer.
I have an external HD that was used as backup and I used it to transfer all of MyMusic file to the new computer into the music library.
The problem is that when I downloaded iTunes to my new computer, it autumatically found all of the info, but the pathways to the music is wrong. So, all the songs, albums, podcasts, playlists, etc. show up exactly as they used to, but if I try to play some of them, none of the music can be found.
Now obviously, I could go manually, song by song, and provide a new path, but with about 4000 songs, that would take me forever.
So, what are my options?
Should I just dump everything and reload all of my music? It would take a long time of course and I would lose things like my ratings, playlists, groupings, etc.
Is there a way I can easily fix this issue? Should I delete all the music off the new computer and then move them from the external HD a different way?
I just don't know the easiest way to fix the problem and am hoping for help. Thanks in advance.

I did figure out FindTracks, but the problem is that many of my music files were grouped in different folders. So, it did find and replace all the files that were in the general folder, though it looks like I have to do many manually (ugh). Anyway, I seem to have another problem.
As I find the new paths for some of the music, the connections are restored and everything plays correctly.
However, for manhy of the songs, the connection appears to be good (no exclamation mark), but nothing plays when I click on them.
Any ideas?

I need help with what I believe to by a syntax error.

The following snippet is from a class that extends AbstractTableModel.
dataSource is an ArrayList, containing instances of a class for which getDescription() is a valid method.
Line six is giving me an error. Maybe someone can tell me how to do this properly.
Aside from that, I do have more code to insert. I just want to get this part right before adding the rest.
@Override
public Object getValueAt(int rowIndex, int columnIndex) {
Object budgetDatum = null;
switch(columnIndex){
case 0:
budgetDatum = dataSource.get(rowIndex).getDescription();
return budgetDatum;
}

>
By line six, I am referring to the following, which is the sixth line of my code:
budgetDatum = dataSource.get(rowIndex).getDescription();
The method, "getDescription()", is not recognized as a valid method, which leads me to believe I am accessing the member of dataSource incorrectly.
>
You still aren't providing all of the information needed.
What type of object does 'dataSource.get' return?
You probably need to cast the object to the proper type and call 'getDescription on that type.
If it returns a BudgetDatum class object then cast it as that
BudgetDatum budgetDatum;
budgetDatum = ((BudgetDatum) dataSource.get(rowIndex)).getDescription();If you aren't using generics the 'get' method is probably just returning an Object.

Begginer needs help with what version of Photoshop?

Let me clarify.....
Back in 2008, I bought an E-Machine Desktop that had "Adobe Photoshop" bundled on it.
I bought a new HP 6719C computer last year.
It has no Photoishop program whatsoever.
I LOVED my old version of Photoshop.
The feature I liked most was the erasing Tool, were you could put your head on someone elses boday, and the "Clone" feature, to take out unwanted items in your pictures.e to Download a version of Adobe Photoshop, that closely resembles the Features I described above.
Not looking for anything, super-dooper fancy.
Just pretty much the Basics.
So what is this "Adobe Elements" program all about.
What would be the simpelest, least complicated program, to get me started after a 5 year Hiatus without Adobe Photoshop?
Roger

Photoshop Elements 10 should do what you need.
You could download a thirty day trial and see if it does what you need.
There is also the photoshop elements forum for more in depth questions about photoshop elements features:

Sadly your iPhone sounds like it's not worth repairing.. I am sorry only a replacement phone will fill the bill...

I need help with iPhoto slideshow. I can't "save" changes. Particularly the rotate feature. I rotate a photo 90 degrees... and the next time I play it...it's back to original. Sideways! Very frustrating.

How do I save changes on iPhoto slideshow. I rotate a photo... then it reverts back to original (sideways) next time it plays.

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
is your slideshow from an album or from the slideshow mode?
what theme are you using?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Alexisann, Welcome to the discussion area!
I'm not sure how you ended up in the "Discussions > AirPort > AirPort for Windows" discussion area. Your question has nothing to do with Apple's wireless base stations, wireless networking, nor Windows.
A much better place to put your question would be the "Discussions > Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard > Mail and Address Book" discussion area.

Need help with my ymail acct. keep getting pop up verify password ; which is correct , this will appear able to get mail then it will appear again ....

can anyone asst with this issue please

Hello jeff_morrett,
To find a great deal on an open box item is awesome! I'm sure you and your wife were excited to have everything delivered and installed. It is regrettable to hear of the delay you may have experienced due to inclement weather. While I'm glad James and the other home theater technician were able to make it rather than reschedule and were professional, I understand that a phone call would have made a significant difference once they realized they would be late.
To find that your open box LG soundbar you had purchased may not have had the mounting bracket you expected, would of course be detrimental to your installation experience. Our open box items should be thoroughly inspected to be labeled and priced accurately. I am truly sorry that your unit may not have included all parts as expected, and that the bracket the store initially provided you to resolve this issue may not have worked for your needs.
It is discouraging to hear that Jane and Chris from the store may not have been able to provide a satisfactory resolution. To hear that you may have to upgrade to a soundbar you didn't choose and have to pay for another appointment would be quite irritating and rather disappointing. I apologize for any disappointment or frustration this entire experience may have caused you.
Please know that I was able to locate your purchase and order information with the information you shared in your post, and I am reaching out to the leadership at the store to see if we may have any other options for you. If you should have any questions, please let me know. In the meantime, I greatly appreciate your patience.
Respectfully,

I need help with privileges(?) in 10.6.8. Changes to Dock, server address,bookmarks, software preferences, etc. do not stay after shut down/restart

I had been upgraded to 10.6.8 awhile ago and have had this problem ongoing since then. My company IT guy is not all that helpful or pleasant. His repsonse to my issue is "I have never seen that before".
I am unable to make lasting changes to software preferences, my dock, bookmarks (in any browser), list of recent servers, etc. Any changes that I make are rendered obsolete after a reboot.
I have tried the repair disk permissions but had no luck.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Why are you saying that? AFAICT, SL is still being supported, Maybe not at the frequency level you'd prefer, but security updates are amongst the recent ones.

You can’t, and Apple won’t do it for you; the activation lock is an anti-theft measure. Try getting a refund for it.
