Set up new apple ID on Mac Air, unit still can't access photos,some email, comes up with old apple id, needs password (which i don't know) just want to get rid of old apple ID on my MacAir

need to get rid of old apple ID, don't know password, already set new id and password on MacAir, but i am unable to access some photos, etc

In order to change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, 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.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, 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 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.

  • How can I verify my iCloud account if I can not access the primary email account associated with my Apple ID?

    The email address I had set for my Apple ID when I had originally signed up was through my college.  I have been out of college now for a few years and the email account has been deleted. I was trying to set up iCloud on my iPad and iPhone but it says I need to access the account to verify through email.  I have tried to change my Apple ID email to my current email address but it tells me I can not do this either because that email is set up as my rescue email.  How can I change my primary email address for my Apple ID or get my iCloud verified in this situation I'm in?

    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your account'. You will be able to change the non-Apple email address you use as a login. You will then need to log out and in again on all your devices.

  • Can't update apps.  I have reset my Apple ID to my new e mail address but when I try to download or update apps. my old, no longer functioning one, automatically comes up asking me for a password, which I don't know and can't have sent to that ID!

    I used to have my old work e mail address as my Apple ID but have now changed it to my new one, had all of the verification e mails and everything.  However, when I try to download or update my apps, my original ID comes up and I can't log in.  Can't remember my original passowrd and can't have a reminder sent to the original e mail as it no longer exists.....  help!

    Any content is tied to the account that you used to buy/download it - so if you created a new account as opposed to updating the existing one, then you will need to use the old account to download updates to its apps. Can you not update your old account so as to have a new email address on it (e.g. via this page) ?

  • How can I access photos on a network disk with apple TV ?

    I just bought a WD network disk to put all my photos. I wish to look at them with apple TV but can't find how. The only thing I see is what shared in my laptop Itune. Can't I just acces the content on network device without going through Itune?
    It should be easy as looking what's on the network and brows through the content!

    AppleTV2 does not support directly accessing media on network drives.
    All media viewed must be via itunes.
    If you can point iTunes to a folder on the network drive (Advanced>Choose Photos to Share) you maybe able to access them but only when itunes is running.

  • I Downloaded the Little Snitch Trial, and I Want To Get Rid Of It. How?

    so I have the Little Snitch trial. (an app that shows your network usage and stuff) There is no way I can quite it or stop it or delete it or anything
    ZERO search results come up when i search little snitch in finder
    it is not in the preferences of my mac.
    I just want to get rid of it! it sits in my menu bar, and when i click it it displays the following..
    Little Snitch Network Filter Off
    Start New Filter
    thats it...

    The application has the uninstaller built into it, so if that item has
    been dragged into Trash without running the uninstaller to get
    the other parts removed correctly, you would have to download
    the app again to get that uninstaller...

    {This item gets installed as a system preference modifier so the
    uninstaller is required to remove the parts you can't see. Since
    Little Snitch has/had earlier versions, some of the documentation
    may vary online from that which accompanied a later version.
    A simple search of their product site or the application's Help in
    the Finder menu should provide some insights on this.}
    There also is another app called AppZapper which can help remove

  • I am using the old imovie HD on my old Mac laptop... it works fine, but when I export a video to YouTube there is a black frame around it.. how do i get rid of that? thanks!

    Hi MyAppleID99,
    You may want to check to make sure the clip hasn't been moved back and forth between wide screen and standard aspect ratios; sometimes a combination of letterboxing and pillarboxing can lead to a black frame "windowbox" when playing the final video. You may find the following article helpful:

  • We have an Apple 9 and 10 operating system and want to get rid of the 9 how do we do that?

    We have a power mac G4 with Operating Systems 10.3 on it and 9.0 and want to get rid of the 9.0 and only upgrade the 10.3 to Snow Leopard is that possible and what do we do? Does this mean when we bought this did they partition the drive, do we need to undo something to make this work properly?
    Julie Reid

    An alternate method is to just throw away the OS 9 System Folder (not the folder named System - that's OSX), and throw away the OS 9-only apps you might have.
    Since it is OS 9.0, it can not be used as Classic - and so there should be no hooks to Classic in OSX that might prevent a casual removal via the Trash.
    If OS 9 is on its own partition (the default is everyhting on one volume (partition), but any folks who have both OS's have placed OS 9 on its own partition), then you can erase just that partition.
    Additional issue -
    You mentioned installing Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6). Since you have a PowerMac, that's not possible. Snow Leopard will run only on machines having an Intel processor, which no PowerMac (or any machine capable of using OS 9) has.
    Depending on other criteria, your machine may not even be suitable for Leopard (OSX 10.5). There are some minimum requirements that must be met - primarily a CPU (machine) speed of 867MHz (no stock machine capable of boooting to OS 9.0 has a processor that fast), plus some minimums with regard to RAM and available hard drive space.
    The full specs for Leopard are shown in this Apple KBase article -

    I have an old apple ID I want to get rid off but keeps popping up

    If you used the Apple ID to buy content, you will need to maintain the ID to update or redownload the content. Apple does not transfer content from one ID to another, nor does Apple merge Apple IDs.

  • I recently backed up my iPhone using iCloud and now can not get my camera roll onto my new iPhone or my Mac.  Did I lose all the photos from my old phone?

    I recently picked up a new iPhone6.  Before i handed in my old phone(iphone5), I backed it up using iCloud.
    Now I can't seem to get the photos from my old camera roll onto my new phone or my Mac.  Did I lose all
    the photos from my old phone?

    1. Create a backup of your iPad to iTunes on your computer or to iCloud
    2. Transfer any and all photos & videos on your iPad to your computer.
    3. Erase the iPad and restore the iPhone's iCloud backup to the device.
    4. Transfer any and all photos & videos on your iPad to your computer.
    5. Restore the iPad backup you reated in step #1 back to the iPad.
