Password for old computer?

I just updated to 10.5.4 form 10.4.11. Now I keep getting this pop-up, "Enter the password for your user account on 'PowerBook G4'. I have not had this computer for 2 years now. Why does this keep popping up, and how can I stop it?

any help?
This is the *Mac OS X Technologies > iSync* forum, so as you're a Windows user, this is the wrong forum for your query. Presumably you're asking about your iTunes account, so try asking in one of the iTunes forums.

New e-mail address, so created new apple id, iTunes store asks for password for old e-mail/apple id

There are lots of posts on this subject over the years about this problem but none of the solutions work for me.
Apple id problems go back many years, if they cant handle that, how do we trust them in security issues?
anyway, here is what it says.
Sign into iTunes store
Enter the Apple ID password for
"old e-mail address"
So I enter the password (same one as before, it works in Mail etc on the iPad, only a problem on iTunes store.
App updates would not work, but they finally did when I did a iPad reset and backup restore.
But the iTunes store apple id problem is still there.
I am a user of Apple since 1982, do not like where things are going, honestly, but they are the only game in town. Not a fan of overly automated system processes with no feeling of "transparency" in the way things happen these days.
Can anyone help? If not I will live with it, but..........this is not the old Apple any more.

It may not be called Express lane any longer, but this is where you find it now: https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action
On your old email - Apple does not assume an email will not change. This is why they provide for recovery if you no longer have access to the email. In order for that to work however, you needed to have followed their recommendation and set up your security questions and/or provided a secondary email address. If you not longer have access, they you can try calling Apple and asking for the Account Security Team. If you can convince them you are who you say you are, they may be able to help reset your password.
Are you saying iTunes on your computer is updating all Apps? If so, I don't understand how. Apps purchased on your old Apple ID are able to be updated only using the Apple ID used to purchase or download them. If what you ar esaying is true, I suspect only thos apps tied to your new Apple ID are being checked and updated. If it is happening as you describe, your iPad is the one behaving as it should, not iTunes on your computer.
Please do not take offence to this but it still seems as if you don't understand how the Apple ID works, not just that you don't agree with it. I've refined my analogy a bit, so please bear with me. I am not trying to be condesending but I HAVE tried to made it as simple as possible for anyone else that may read this.
Imagine you buy a house. You have keys to the house and once inside, you buy all the funrniture you need - with one condition - because of some complicated distribution agreements with the furniture manufacturers, the seller mandates that the furniture you buy must be used only in that house.
Some day in the future, you lose the keys to your house so you buy the house next door with its own new set of keys. You go inside the new house and wonder where all your furniture has gone. Simply, you own both houses but
Upset at this situation, you try to recover your keys to your first house by asking the bank to mail them. You once had the chance to give the bank an alternate address to which they could mail keys but didn't so not they can only mail them to the first house. Since you can't get inside, you cannot retrieve the new keys that they send.
After getting some good advice, you decide to talk to visit the bank personally. You convince them you are the owner of house #1 and they give you a new set of keys. Yay!
You go back to house #1 and finally manage to get in. But, since house #2 is newer, you decide to live there. Now you want to move your furniture so you have a comfortable place to sit and sleep. Oops, you can't take the furniture from the old house because of your agreement with the Furniture seller so you have to buy new furniture.
House = Apple ID
Keys = Password
Furniture = Apps and other content purchased with the first Apple ID
Keys = Password
Alternate Address = Alternate Email Address
Furniture Seller = Apple
Furniture Makers = App Developers, Film and Music Rights Holders
You may not agree with this, but the fact is, Apple owns very little of the content they sell - basically only their own apps and iOS itself. Allowing merging of Apple IDs or transfering ownership of Apps from one Apple ID to another is a logistical nightmare and would create major issues with app developers, music and film rights holders and anyone else who provides content for sale through iTunes or the App Store.
You cannot compare a functioning iCloud with non-functioning iTunes and App Stores. iCloud doesn't care about your apps - it's about syncing and identification (iMessage, Facetime, iCloud services like Find My iDevice) only. So long as you are using the same Apple ID on each device, it will sync between them any supported content you decide. In fact you can use a different Apple ID for all there if you wanted. The key is to be CONSISTENT.
One additional thing we have not brought up already. If the iPad was activated with your original Apple ID and you ever need to restore it (not an uncommon possibility), you will run into a problem with Activation Lock. It's a security feature designed to discourage iDevice theft by rendering it useless if one tries to activate it using anything other than the Apple ID used to activate it originally.
Again, you may not agree with how it works, but I hope this finally makes sense and you at least understand how it works.

I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id. Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id. How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

It is asking for your computer administrator account password to make system changes. You "should" have an administrator account password.

In my newly purchased MacBook Air, Dropbox does not function properly (it shows MS Word, Excell and Power Point docs but not pictures). It asks for Mac OS Password for my computer which I do not have. How should I get this password ?

If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know that account password, the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.

Seem to have multiple apple ids one on computer one on iPod cannot use iTunes because password for old id not recognized cannot update user name for ipod

cannot update username on ipod for itunes
why are they all different. Why don't I have just one id?
I cannot update apps.
password for username not recognized
I want one apple id for everything
one password for everything
I cannot retrieve or reset anything for itunes to update apps

It appears that you have apps on the iPod that wer purchased with more than one iTunes account. If one from more than one iTunes account need updating, you need to update them one at a time (not update all) until all the remianing apps were purchased from one account. You may need to change the accont the iPId is signed into by go to Settings>Store and signing out and in.
Accounts can't be merged.

- If you do not know the password for your iTunes backup of the iPod then recover the password by:
How to Recover iPod Backup Password to Restore iPod from Bakcups
Before you restore from backup makes sure that all your apps are in your iTunes library since the backup does not include synced media like apps and music.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- If you do not know the password for the iCloud backup you are out of luck.

How can I make Firefox remember new passwords for old accounts?

I have recently moved to a new notebook computer. I used the "Password Exporter" add-on to import my passwords from my old machine.
Now, when I reach a Web page that I'd saved the user id and password for, it no longer appears in the fields and I have to start typing some of it, before Firefox offers it again.
Also, if a password has changed, when I enter the new one, Firefox won't offer to update that saved account with the new password - so I'm stuck with my old 'list' of accounts and their original passwords.
How can I fix these problems?

* Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
* Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

HT2204 Recovering password for old Apple ID

I copied my iTunes library to my new iMac from an external backup drived that was used with my now-scrapped G5 iMac. I didn't have any problem playing any songs.
The problem I'm having on the new iMac is that some of my songs were purchased with an old Apple ID, and I no longer know the email address associated with it. The Mac is authorized, and plays all other songs just fine. I have searched and searched and can't find that there is a way to recover the password for my old ID if I don't know the address. Is this impossible to do? And if so, I assume the only thing I could do is repurchase the songs?

Have you tried here...
Is there a way to find my Apple ID Name if I can't remember it?

New printer for old computer

My HP laserjet printer model 4L broke yesterday. Need a new printer for an old computer. It's an HP Brio using windows 2000 (built on NT technology) - whatever that means. A plastic part broke on the printer cover that affected it's printing capability. Thanks for any input.

Hi Gwen,
There is a way you can tell whether a new printer will be supported on your Windows 2000.
As an example, I have included the information for the HP Deskjet 3520 (not the ePrint version of the printer).
This is an inexpensive printer that one can still buy, and the printer supports the Full Feature Software (full driver set) for Windows 2000.
HP Deskjet 3520 Inkjet Printer Drivers - Windows 2000
What You Can Do:
Find a printer that you want to buy
Open the Support and Drivers Page: HP Drivers & Downloads
Enter the name of the printer in the box under "Find by Product"
Look for your Operating System in the drop down menu under "Select your operating system"
Click "Next" and Scroll down
Look under "Driver - Product Installation Software"
You are looking for the "Full Feature Software" installation package.
The Full Feature Software package provides the full printing capabilities.
If you do Not find the Full Feature Software, then the printer you have selected will NOT be fully supported by your Operating System. "Basic Driver" is not enough -- you need the Full Feature Software or your printer might not be able to do everything -- for example, it may not be able to "scan".
Go through this exercise until you find a Printer model that is supported for your Operating System AND provides the Full Feature Software.
You might also look under the Manuals section to pick up any details about the printer's operation - whether the printer supports wireless, and under what circumstances it works (or does not).
Good Luck!
Click the Kudos Star!
It is a great “Thank You” for the Author's efforts.
Kind Regards,

Forgot my email address and password for old accou...

I have forgotten my email address and password for my old skype account. -_-" I made this one so I could post on here. I was wondering if I could get my old account back. The username is kaseynevada. I would greatly appreciate it. And even if you can't change my password if you could just remind me what email account I used with my that account that would be awesome. I'm pretty sure I can figure out the password for my email.

ICloud asks for Apple ID password for old email account

My iPod Touch 5 keeps asking me for my iCloud Apple ID password for my former mail address. I have tried entering every possibility I can think of (not exactly sure of my old password) so that I might go in and fix or delete it but it still pops up. I have no access to this old address as the account no longer exists and I am no longer with the provider. My current Apple ID shows up fine when I log in to check it and shows no sign of the old address. Any thoughts?
Running version 8.1.2

If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
