Problems with new APPLE ID and contacts.

I have created a new Apple ID for my DAD. I have formatted my IPAD 2 for him but when I log into iCloud or view contacts on the IPAD all of my contacts are in his BRAND new apple ID??? Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
For the avoidance of doubt you are logged into his ID at settings > iCloud. Are you by any chance logged into your account at settings > mail, contacts, calendars.
It is possible to do this by keeping the contacts when you log out of your account and then merge them when you set up his.
The solution is just to delete them, but we need to make sure they aren't somehow tied to your account still and that you don't end up deleting them from your account too.

  • Apple TV keeps telling me there is a problem with my apple ID and password when I try to connect to home sharing. I have checked and rechecked and re-entered several times with same message.

    I just bought an Apple TV and am trying to set it up. I am connected to wireless, is having difficulties setting time and date. When I try to connect to iTunes and sharing. It keeps telling me that there is a problem with my apple ID and password. I have quadruple checked and re-entered and it won't recognise it. What do I do? Dan.

    Sounds like it is more an issue of connecting to the internet. Not just the WiFi Some people have reported that performing a power cycle on their Internet router solved this.

  • My iphone 5 is no longer charging with new apple cord and lint has been cleared. Please help.

    My iphone 5 is no longer charging with a new apple cord and lint has been cleared. Please help. It just started happening this week and I have tried everything. Is this a software / driver problem?  We all know the battery doesn't last a full day if you "use" your phone like a normal person. I am very frustrated! My daughters iphone 5 started doing this a few days later than mine as well.

    Not much help I'm afraid but I use my iPhone 5 like a 'normal' person and it's battery almost all day. Perhaps there's a hardware fault somewhere? Have you tried the usual reset and restore?

    I recently have reset my ipod touch 4g with a new apple id and cannot download Facebook,Skype or any app that reqires ios7 or later but ipod 4g can only have ios 6.1.6

    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • Problems with new PalmDesktop6.2 and Palm TX

    I have a Palm TX that I have been using and syncing OK for over a year.  I recently installed the PalmDesktop version 6.2 and it seemed to work well.  For Christmas, I received an external disk drive and I moved all of the folders and documents from my My Documents folder on my C: drive to the new external K: drive.  I copied the Palm OS Desktop folder to the new K: drive and also kept a copy back in the My Documents folder on the C: drive.  Since I have done that, I cannot run the new desktop software.  I get the following message when the desktop software tries to start: "Runtime Error!  Program: C:\Program Files\Palm\Palm.exe  This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.  Please contact the application's support team for more information. "
    I have read some other posts on doing a clean uninstall for XP but I no longer have the CD that came with the TX that has the original desktop software.  If that is available on the web, I am prepared to do that clean uninstall and re-install.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    I did the complete removal and reinstall, deleted the registry entries and rebooted; I then reloaded Pald Desktop, did a hotsync which appeared to go OK.  When I tried to open the Palm Deskto, I got the same runtime error message I first reported.

  • Airport Express problems with new MAC MINI and DLINK router SOLVED

    Hi just thought I would post this as it may well help others experiencing similar frustrations with new core duo mac mini and wireless connection or quality problems across the network / internet etc
    I have a 3 week old, new mac mini core duo 1.8ghz 2gig ram, 120gb disk - First Mac, connecting to my exisiting wireless network via DLINK ADSL Router 2MB Broadband also one windows laptop and pc also wireless on the network and two airport express potins to stream itunes to
    Problem was briefly
    Mac worked fine, but the network connection just far too slow, laptop and pc, 1800+ kbps downstream mac mini 90 - 150kbps (http://www.adslguide.org/tools/speedtest.asp)
    also if i ping the router directly from terminal (ping -c 20 192.168.1.1) average response 12+ ms with 20% packet loss, yet laptop and pc avg 2ms no losses
    Spent 2 evenings on frustrating calls of more than 1 hour each (due to being cut off , then ring back and closed etc etc) and carrying out a the helpdesk troubleshooting (I am an IT consultant I think I am above this level), eventually an archive and install of the os as well
    last night I call for the third time, insisting I dont wish to carry out any further troubleshooting, and want it replaced and resolved or my money back
    I receive a call back from product specialist (not sure if thats mac mini specialist or airport) but we resolved the issue (his knowledge far superior to the help desk do this do this attitude)
    between us we carried out the folowing and resolved the problem and I am now very happy
    mac now downstreaming also in excess of 1800kbps (as expected for 2mb broadband)and no packet loss
    This problem was resolved by switching off the turbo option hidden away in the routers settings, under wireless configuration
    Supposed to improve performance, but its rubbish and will make hardly any difference under mac os to the speed but will certainly affect your mac mini performance(you may have a similar setting switched on in your routers and mac os dont like it)
    We stumbled across this by first disconnecting one of the airport express devices from my dlink network, and using it on its own default apple wireless settings, effectively making it a standalone wireless network, and not via the dlink router
    we then carried out the same ping with the ip address of this device (from airport admin utility default 10.0.1.1) and the results were fantastic 2ms avg no package loss
    this established it was something with the router, and how we then interrogated the routers settings and found the turbo on option within wireless configuration
    you may not be able to replicate this if you dont have an additional network you could join (such as airport express), but probably worth checking your own router settings for something similar
    Hope that may be of assistance to others, sorry that its a bit long winded and garbled, but I'm just so excited to finally get my new mac working as i would expect it to
    Also perhaps insist on speaking to a product specialist immediately that the helpdesk are unable to help you

    Hello macfar14. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    For just streaming iTunes and/or for sharing a USB printer, the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) just needs to be configured as a wireless client ... which you already attempted to do.
    Just to be sure nothing was missed, here are the basic steps to do this:
    Either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility in "Manual Setup" mode, make the following changes:
    AirPort > Wireless
    o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    o Network Name: <existing wireless network's Network Name or SSID>
    o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
    o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
    Music
    o Enable AirTunes (checked)
    o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
    o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
    o Verify Password: (optional)
    o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

  • Startup keys with new Apple Keyboard and MacBook Pro

    Upon powering up my Rev. A MBP, I hold down the OPTION key on the new Apple Keyboard to select my startup disk. Strangely, the startup went straight into the default startup disk that I have chosen previously. I didn't get to selection stage.
    I tried with the old/white Apple Keyboard and my MBP keyboard and startup disk selector is A-Okay.
    I hooked up the new keyboard to my new Mac mini and did the same thing and no problem.
    Haven't tried with the rest of the startup keys like C or X yet with the MBP. Wonder is this a software bug between the MBP and keyboard.
    Anyone with similar experience?

    Actually, startup keys sequences do work with the Apple Wireless Keyboard (the old white one). I know because I have been using it that way with my Macs, PPC and Intel ones.
    I tried Command-V, Command-S, Option, T, C and Shift on the new keyboard with my Rev. A MBP and it goes go straight into the Apple logo.
    Swapped back to the old Apple Keyboard with my MBP and tried the keys above and no problems whatever so.
    Hooked up the new Apple Keyboard to my new Mac mini and did the same keys without problems.
    So, my conclusion is there something between the new keyboard and Rev. A MBP. Maybe someone with similar setup should try wha I did and see if they face the same issues.

  • Huge problem with NEW Apple ID

    I have a new IPad3 that I set up with a new Apple ID. I did this because I have3 other ipads that have the same Apple ID.
    Everything went well and I even got a new ICloud account with the new ID.
    However I can not use my new Apple ID on the iTunes store either on the Imac, MacAir or the iphone. Whenever I try to log in I get an error message..Can not connect to iTunes or if I manage to get by that I get..This Apple ID has not been used before and I get an option to review or cancel. I choose review so that I can get my credit card info in there. But thats it. I get no further..everything stops and I get that unending spinning circle and everything hangs up.
    THis is the second new ipad to do this. I had another one yesterday and had the same problem. I tried creating three new IDs and none of them worked. I called Apple and they had me restore, reset, reset network connections..nothing worked so they exchanged it today.
    I have Apple Air Express that works just fine as does all my other devices. So its not my bandwidth. I can not figure this out. I have sent an email to the iTunes store and have received nothing except an automated response.
    Can anyone help me with this. I am all out of ideas.
    UPDATE: I was able to use my new Apple ID here! But no where else.

    Use your old Apple ID, the same one you use on your other devices.  Go into Store>Settings>Then sign out of that account and go into the old one.
    Your other devices aren't letting you use your new ID because two different ID's ones on a device.  Since you are logged in under the old one on those, you cannot access the new one or use it without signing out of the old one.
    It would be MUCH easier to just use the same ID you are using with the other devices...

  • Camera Raw problem with new Nidon D90 and CS2

    Please forgive me if this is a repeated question . . . but I need some advice . . . I just picked up a new Nikon D90 tonite . . . I'm using Mac 10.4.11 and Photoshop CS2 . . . when I tried to open my raw files in Bridge, I get the message that these files cannot be recogniized . . .After searching Adobe support I just have more of a headache . . .I primarily shoot Raw . . . and have never had a problem with CS2 and Bridge with my Nikon D80 . . . Please give me some advice . . .Thanks so much in advance . . .David

    Of course you get an error! The D90 didn't come out until way after Adobe stopped upgrading ACR for Photoshop CS2. You will never have support for your NEF files with Photoshop CS2. If you don't want to use the DNG converter you have several choices. Upgrade to Photoshop CS4 or Lightroom 2.x, purchase Photoshop Elements (latest version, although Camera Raw doesn't have all its features in Photoshop Elements), purchase some other software that will support your NEF files. The only way you can have the support for your NEF files in Photoshop CS2 is to use the DNG converter.
    A lot of people complain that it is an "extra step" to use the DNG converter. You have to download the images from your camera anyway. Just use the DNG converter to do that. It will take a little longer than a normal download, but once the download/conversion is completed your workflow is no different than it otherwise would be.
    Camera Raw has matured greatly since Photoshop CS2. You purchased an outstanding camera. It's now time to upgrade your software. ACR is little more than a toy in Photoshop CS2.

  • Problems with new alum keyboard and orig acrylic keyboard on eMac

    Hi ,
    I need help , pls.
    I just got an alum keyboard to use w/ my eMac.
    I've upgraded software as instructed.
    My numbers pad do not work.
    ALso using a logitech wireless/laser opt. mouse. I had to download logitech's software ( never had to do this before ).
    Being that I'm so used to the numb pad and wireless, I can't do any type of work w/o accidentally using the numbers pad.
    In doing so, it freezes up. At one point I had all hardwired to the eMac ( new & old keyboard and mice ). The wireless mouse would have to be reinstalled after the machine would go to sleep and when I'd log out as a user.
    I've tried to use systm. pref. and used "set keyboard to default". Using the flag (US and NOT extended ).
    It's been a pain for the last few days. I went back and am now using my orig. acrylic /plastic keyboard that came w/ my eMac. Now this keyboard's num pad is not functioning anymore either.
    Now..what I've done so far....
    I've deleted the "dmg " file from the updated alum keyboard, and trashed all logitech's software.
    I even ran applejack ( yes, I'm desperate so I did it.) I have a big workload ahead of me.
    My old keyboard and logitech mouse is working except for the numbers pad.
    What must I do ? Or what else can I do ?
    I've called support and all the say is take the new keyboard to the store.
    No one at apple support or has helped. "May be a batch of unsuitable keyboards".
    I understand the part where you must use some things for the keyboard w/ an alum. iMac.
    But those things i.e iPod, hub are not being used via alum keyboard's 2 ports , so I know that's not an issue.
    My mouse ( not a mighty mouse ) and the logitech and old keyboard are hard wired to the eMac (machine's usb ports ) itself.
    I need some help pls. Can someone pls. respond here or let me know of any similar problems and solutions you've made.
    Thanks in advance.

    Whenever new software is installed it is wise to run Disk Utility and to Repair Permissions. If you haven't done this try it and see whether there's any difference.
    If you haven't tried yet plug the keyboard into a different usb port. If it works there it's possible that the other usb port is faulty.
    My guess is that there's a software problem. So...
    Try downloading the 10.4.11 combo update and installing this. You can do this 'over the top' of what's already there. Many users have found this resolves system software issues. You may need to re-apply other software updates released after this one. You can check Software Update to see which updates are necessary if any.

  • I have problem with my apple id and password isnt working cuz it is not same password but i have same apple id . i need go back to where the same id and passwor

    my apple id was **** and my password was **** but i just change the password but i want my apple id and password same last time. but they wont let me to get into itunes and apps. i dont have credit card or anything. last time i use itune gift card reedem but now i dont have any itunes gift card reedem at all. i need someone help me to get my id and password back on again same as last time. cuz i could not check website or into itunes or app store at all. thanks
    <Edited By Host>

    You may reset the password on your account by opening https://iforgot.apple.com/ in Safari and entering your Apple ID (your email address, which the moderators should have removed earlier).
    You won't be able to set the password to your email address, or a recently-used password (if I remember correctly).
    Once you change your password, you should update your password on your iOS device in Settings > iTunes & App Store, then tapping the "Apple ID: <username>" cell at the top to re-enter your password.  (Your iOS device may prompt you for the new password before getting to Settings as well.)
    Hope that helps.  If you have a different issue, please post a follow-up message.

  • Cursor problems with new mac pro and cs4

    I am having a major problem with my cursor in photoshop cs4 extended.
    any tool i select as soon as i touch it to the canvas the tool turns to a black mac arrow cursor.
    this is extremely annoying and makes brushing anything almost impossible as i can't see the edge of my brush because it turns to an arrow as i try to use it. (it starts out at the correct size before i actually brush with it)
    i have my brush set as normal and precise tools are set but this problem happens with any brush and tool setting
    I have tried turning off Open GL advanced redraw, all that.
    I have the stock nvidia gt 120 - is it a video card problem? should i have gotten the ati 4870?
    should i reinstall cs4?
    my system is a base octo 2.26 with 6 GB ram - no scratch disk setup yet - waiting on the drives and more ram to come.
    thanks all...

    um...not to detract from the other users problem but mine has nothing to do with displacement of the cursor
    i have uninstalled CS4 suite, reinstalled it, repaired permissions and deleted prefs.
    I am still getting the arrow whenever I click the cursor with any tool to the canvas.
    I am a pro p-shop retoucher - this is making CS4 essentially UNUSABLE - i will only be able to use CS3 and all this after I spent 600 for the "upgrade"?
    I have to teach at a retouching seminar soon and i will have a very poor working knowledge of CS4 as a result
    I can't find any similar complaints at nvidias site or on here
    any help is still needed!

  • Audio Problem with new Apple TV: Audio Optical (Toslink) to RCA

    Hi guys,
    I just set up my new Apple TV but don't have any audio so far (picture works).
    It's probably because I connected the HDMI to DVI, as my Sony TV only has DVI.
    Now I am thinking about getting audio by connecting the optical audio of the Apple TV to my stereo receiver to solve this issue.
    Problem: my Sony STR-D315 receiver only has RCA connectors ( looking like this: http://media.photobucket.com/image/receiver%20rca/xyphon112/IMG_1701.jpg not sure if this is digital or analog)
    Now I figured out that there would be converters:
    http://www.canadacomputers.com/advancedsearchresult.php?keywords=toslink+converter&sid=moqhnqo7m5eup531h3dp3l62g4
    Do you think this could solve my problem? I am little confused atm, but would I need the "toslink to digital coaxial(RCA)" or the "digital coaxial (RCA) to toslink" product?
    My shopping list atm would basically be:
    - the converter
    - optical cable ( http://store.apple.com/us/product/TR841LL/A )
    - this RCA cable ( http://www.daydeal.com/files/images3/blkrcacable.jpg )
    Do you think this might work?
    My goal is only to get sound, doesn't need to be super quality
    Feedback from a cable expert would be very much appreciated.
    Thank you very much in advance!!!
    Martin

    Jim, thank you so much for your answer.
    That's what I was worrying about, I also think that the audio inputs of my Sony STR-D315 receiver are only analog. My Sony TV has audio input but unfortuntately it's not optical
    A "TOSLINK to analog RCA converter" really sounds like the only solution. Would this be an appropriate one?
    http://www.canadacomputers.com/productinfo.php?cPath=5_72_73&itemid=032471
    I really like the new Apple TV but want to avoid buying a new receiver (or even TV). So thanks a lot for your help.
    Have a good evening & all the best,
    Martin

  • Problems with New Burn Folder and burning discs

    Hello, I find that my mini doesn't wish to burn discs. If I Create New Burn Folder and dump stuff into it, it won't accept the blank discs I insert as true blanks; I get a "insert blank disc" command. These are just standard cd-r and dvd-r discs. Nor is the Burn command available through the menus. And beyond that, once I have the disc in, the eject commands are disabled! I can't get the disc out.
    The only way I've been able to burn is to insert the blanks first, then drag stuff onto the disc; the Burn Folders just don't work and then I can't even eject the dratted things. Can anyone comment or help---
    Thanks,
    John
    Houston

    Furthermore, if you get info on the burn folder it only will give the size of the aliases. Does anyone know how to find the actually size of all the contained files?

  • Cd's and system discs  problems with new apple quick silver g4

    hello hopefully someone can help me I just purchased this macine on ebay 2 weeks ago. The problem I am having is for one I cannot open the cd-r-rw without using popcorn to open it. When I try to insert a disc for an application or the system disks that he included with the purchase I cannot read any of them in fact as soon as i close the drawer with the disc in it it reopens in a few minutes. I can't even find a way to open the drawer with out popcorn there is no external place to open this up like my old cd rom had. I had a power mac beige g3. So in order to load anything I have to download the disk to a usb small portable plug memory card, plug it in to the new machines usb port and then download the program through there. So what do I need to be able to put a system disk or program disc into this machine and also able to open the tray I have now. Do I need something like a external cd-rom drive that hooks up into my usb port to be able to use the discs or what.
    The one thing it does do is play a music disc if you openned it with popcorn and close it it plays the music disc but not the other type thanks Tim L

    There are several things you can check or test. Follow these 3 rules and you'll be able to change drives in any Mac.
    1. After changing Hard Drives ... are you restarting AND zapping PRAM or just restarting? Any changes to hardware configuration require zapping the PRAM (hold down command, option, p and r keys while restarting).
    2. Making a copy of a startup disk onto a second Hard Drive is never as good as installing the OS independently on each drive. Even if they're both in the same computer. Be sure your new optical drive is in place and connected when installing OS.
    3. Hard drives and optical drives have configuration addresses or designations. The ATA bus in Macs support 2 devices on each channel (2 channels). The optical drives are normally connected to the slower ATA/66 bus and are designated Master and Slave. If both drives are set as Master a conflict will occur. Check the jumpers located at the rear of the drive where the ribbon cable connects. There's usually a sticker on the drive which shows how to set them for the appropriate configuration.
    Hope this helps ....
    Gary
