Question on iCloud accounts: I have my iPhone and iPad on one iCloud account, but my Mac is on my old Mobile me account. Can't figure out how to change my iCloud account on my MacBook Pro so all 3 are synced.

First, open System Preferences > MobileMe and log out. Then, open  > About this Mac and see Version. If you see 10.5.x or 10.6.x, see > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs If your Mac is compatible, upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and purchase OS X Mountain Lion.
When you have upgraded, go to System Preferences > iCloud and follow its steps

Hi jhyiesla,
Im not sure wether I got you right or not. But my advice/s would be as follows:
These steps help you get rid of old apps you downloaded years ago and you do not use anymore.(Also frees space on your mac after emptying the trash)
1) go to iTunes and delete all applications in it. Make sure to move them to trash! Do not empty your trash yet. Its your backup if step 3 doesnt appear.
2) connect both your devices(one after each other) and make a backup. !!!Dont press the Sync button, press the Back Up Now Button
3) Then it asks you if you want to backup applications as well. Confirm. (This is how apps get transferred manually)
4) Then Sync your devices... The first time it might be, that there are some additional apps loaded to your devices you dont want to.. delete them on your Device (not iTunes) and after that you should be good every time you sync again.
5) now you can empty your trash on your mac.
Further,
- You should regularly connect your devices with iTunes to make sure they are backed up. (Even if you have activated iCloud backup, the iTunes backup is more proper i.e.. Apps)
- If you hate scrolling through a list of apps in iTunes, you can re/install apps directly on iOS not via iTunes. I absolutely never go to the "Applications" section in iTunes. I install and delete apps directly on iOS.

My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it.

My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it. My password doesn't work with the old email address. When I look for my old email address in the Apple ID support area it says that the ID doesn't exist. Help!!!

You have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated credentials. This deletes the account and your synced data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a different account, your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

I can't remember my security questions and when I have them sent to my email it's the wrong email address. I can't figure out how to change that email address. It's not the same as the one I have on my account.

I'm trying to change my security questions because I forgot them. When I have them sent to me via email it's going to a diiferent email. I can't figure out how to change that email that the security questions are connected to. It's not the one that I can Edit on my Account.

You need to contact Apple to get the questions reset. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.

Living in Japan and I'm an American who just signed up with Soft Bank the phone service here and spent a TON of money on an iPhone. I can't figure out how to connect my bank account at home to my app account so I can Skype my family. Please help!!!! I don't have a credit card nor do they gove debit cards to foreigners here, or at least it's really hard so I'm using my bank at home and still have a debit there. My phone number is 8 numbers plus the country code which is strange! Another thing is I was given a phone email that I was told to use for texting but I'm not sure how that works!! It's so frustrating too because no one speaks English here and I'm not very tech savvy. God bless you if you can help :)

whichever app store you are connecting to, hyou need a credit card with an address in that country. Also, itunes gift cards must be in local currency too.
If you are in japan, you need to use the japan app store

Can't figure out how to finish restoring icloud to my new iphone 5s

Just left Apple store, and they started restoring my icloud. Choice between Later/Finish Restoring. I chose "Later" to get to messages. Now I'm home and can't figure out how to finish restoring. Went to settings, then icloud and could not find anything to continue the restoring. I'm connected to my home wi-fi now, just need help to finish restoring.

It should resume automatically. Make sure it's connected to wifi and your charger.
If it doesn't, go to Setting>iCloud>Storage & Backup and tap Stop Restoring at the bottom. Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on your device and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts. This will start the restore over.

How do I use my iPhone to connect to the Internet. I down loaded safari v5.1.7 for my PC. I have added my iPhone to my computer but I can't figure out how to setup a hotspot or configure a network so my PC can access my phones data plan. Please help.

And how am I supposed to answer my own question?

I can't figure out how to respond so ill go this route. I can't seem to find the button/place to which I can choose, to turn on a hot spot. I have been through every option and searched to no avail. Could it be that my iPhone 4 is not hotspot capable as I was led to believe by the apple sales associate? Is there an app I can find to make my phone a wifi hotspot? So I can get on the Internet to view the pages I want that require adobe which this piece of **** software monger won't even support?

I would like to use iCloud. However, it is sending the verification email to an address that no longer exists (college email that I used when I set up iTunes the first time). I can't figure out how to change that so I can get it sent to my appleID email

Please help me figure out how to change the email that I originally set up so that I can verify my email and use icloud! Thanks.

My iPhone is still displaying my old Apple ID and I can't figure out how to change it to my new one?

I have an iPhone 4s and it keeps asking me to sign in using my old Apple ID and I have a new(ish) Apple ID that I've been using for several months, since before I even got the iPhone, but it's still not using my new ID. The new ID is on my iTunes and iPod, but isn't on the iPhone. I can't figure out how to edit or change my Apple ID in the settings. Help me?

Hi,
I have the same exact problem, and I see no one has posted a correct answer for you. Alexbird's reply didn't help. Can someone give us the correct answer?
My old email address is on my new iPhone 4s, and I can't change it. In the store on the iPhone 4s it correctly has my new email address. iTunes also correctly has the new email address.
I can't update my apps because the old email address is stuck in there, and no password is being accepted.
(By the way, as much as I attempted to read all of the warnings online about how to back-up and transfer data from my iPhone 3gs to my iPhone 4s, sure enough apps were lost. I wish instructions on 'Fingertips' had been clearer)
Thanks!

HT5621 d is still registering the old ID and I can't work out how to change my icloud Apple ID.

I have changed my out Apple ID for a new one. This has been successful for iTunes etc but not for iCloud. I can't seem to work out how to change my account which is the email address used for my old Apple ID.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted (if using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, 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 iPhone on your device, 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.

HT5616 i am trying to get all my apple stuff under 1 apple id. i have 2 and i? can't figure out how to change it????

i have 2 apple id"s, i want to use only one on all my apple products. does anyone know how to change this?

You cannot merge two Apple ID accounts. The main reason for this is to prevent theft. If someone were able to get your account information, and then they transferred your purchases from your Apple ID to their own, and then changed all of your login information, you'd not only be locked out of your account, you'd lose your purchase history.
You can download content from multiple Apple IDs (and there's rarely a reason to create more than one Apple ID for a single user) onto your devices, though. Log in with one, download the content, then log out, log in with the second, and download that Apple ID's content.

I'm using Mac OS 10.6.8 with Firefox 7.0.1. In the past hour or so my fonts on nearly all webpages have turn to a bold san serif font and I can't figure out how to change them back to a thinner font. Can anyone help?

This just happened without reason. Not sure what other information I can provide.

Hi! It sounds like you might have accidentally changed the default font. You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Changing fonts and colors#os=mac&browser=fx7]]. It should give you all the steps you need to change it back. Another possible scenario is that you accidentally increased the font size. This might give the appearance that all the text is in bold. You can find the details in [[How do I use Zoom?]] Since this can be done through a keyboard shortcut, it might be worth a look. I know I've accidentally changed the font size myself a few times.
Hopefully this helps!
