Several weeks ago I was forced to change my Apple ID when my e-mail address changed.  I spent several hours on the phone with a tech resetting all of my devices.  The new ID seems to be recognized everywhere except when I'm asked to enter it for app upgrades on my Mac-Pro (10.8.5).  When I'm asked to sign in there, the old e-mail address is still shown and I'm unable to change it.  Suggestions?

There is no such requirement.
You have created an additional Apple-ID, which is different from the one under which you purchased Items from The Mac App Store.
Go back, log in under the OLD Apple-ID and Add an additional email Address there instead.
Apple does not yet have a convenient way of combining Apple-IDs.

    My iTunes appleID is an old defunct e-mail address - it does not have to be functional.

  • How can i change my apple id to a e mail address that is an all ready verified

    How do I change my e-mail address to a alternate e-mail address 

    You will need to remove it as the alternate email address first, which you might be able to do by logging into the account via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com - if the address is @me.com, @mac.com or @icloud.com address then you might not be able to remove it as an alternate address.
    You can then try putting it as your primary email address, which you can do via the above site, by tapping on the id and logging into it in Settings > iTunes & App Stores on your iPad, or by logging into it via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes. If you don't do it directly on your iPad you might then need to log out of the old version of your account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in with the updated version so as to 'refresh' the account on it. And similarly Settings > iCloud > Sign Out and then back in if using the same account for icloud on it

  • I accidentally installed MacKeeper/ Conduit several weeks ago in Mavericks. I was able to remove the malware with no troubles. After my upgrade to Yosemite it seems to have come back but there are no files to delete like last time. Help!

    Hi all,
    I just upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, which I think might be the culprit.
    I had installed MacKeeper (big oops!) several weeks ago but was able to get rid of it by deleting all conduit/zeobit files with no problems afterward. Now after upgrading to Yosemite it is back. I tried getting rid of it with the same tactics I used before to no avail.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

  • How would e-mail address change affect forum?

    How company recently changed e-mail addresses for all the employees.  Both the format of the username and the domain changed as well.  Our old address will still work for 2 years before they wipe it out, but of course they want us to start using the new address now.
    Many websites, including NI discussion forums, use a person's e-mail address as the login name.  When the e-mail address becomes inactive, how does that affect my interaction on the discussion forums?  Obviously, I could still login using the old e-mail address.  But any e-mails from the forum for things such as subscriptions to threads would no longer work.  I could not find any place in my profile settings to update my e-mail address for subscription purposes.  Of course, I expect it to be difficult to change the forum login name since that would be my unique identifier in the forum.
    This shouldn't really cause me any problems for almost 2 years.  And I'm sure I'll have to deal with it on other websites that use your e-mail address as the login name such as sites that I purchase products from.
    Anyone else had similar problems with e-mail address changes?  It makes me wonder, if the new e-mail address is supposed to be better, why didn't they use the new format way all along.

    The profile is site wide and not specific to the forums. To change the email address associated with the user, click the MyNI link at the top of each page and then the Modify Profile link.

  • No playback in PP CS5.0.3, worked fine several weeks ago...

    I am unable to get a timeline to playback in PP CS5.0.3 with either existing or new projects (Win 7) on any source video, whether out of my Canon 5D2, Sony CX550, or simple AVI. The last time I used PP was several weeks ago and it was working fine then.
    Everything seems to be working fine except playback. Spacebar will toggle to the play button on the video monitor window but nothing else happens, same if clicking the play button. It will render a timeline when pressing enter but the playback afterwards doesn't happen. The video monitor displays the video as expected when dragging the cursor bar on the timeline.
    I tried the sledge hammer approach of deactivating, uninstalling, reinstalling, re-updating and get the same results. I also tried CS5.0.0 before updating and got the same results.
    No viruses and very little other software on my studio box, and no new software other than Windows updates and NVidia driver since the last time PP was working.
    Anyone have any ideas??
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Just been thru something very similar in CS5.5 (fully updated). Windows 7
    The transport controls were showing that the video should have been playing but the monitors were not displaying running footage.
    This was also affecting Windows Media Player as well as Audition.  Quicktime was o.k but flaky.
    After some trial and error  and a lot of messing around with drivers and uninstalling stuff...I believe I narrowed it down to my audio card ( M-Audio Delta).
    Disabling it  (today) seems to be working and I am now using audio from the HD Audio (onboard card).
    Fingers crossed at the moment.

  • I reinstalled I-Tunes several weeks ago.  Since then I can no longer burn MP3 Discs with Title and Artist Info.  Sometimes it only burns every 3rd song.  No Audio CD it seems to function OK.  The version has the "cloud" but I don't know if that matters or

    I reinstalled I-Tunes several weeks ago.  I can no longer burn MP3 Disk with Song/Artist info onto disc.  It comes up as No Artist/No Title on car CD unit.  Old MP3 Disk previously recorded still show all info.  Sometimes only every 3rd song is on the MP3 CD.  On Audio Disc there is no change and all info still shows up.  The new I-Tunes version has the "cloud" on it if that could make a difference.  In the select Burn CD mode I can select testing and add song info for Audio Disk but it shows shadowed out for MP3/Data.  I added and removed ID tagging from my list to see if that made a difference but it didn't.
    Any Thoughts?

    This may help.  Audio files are actaully in the DATA folder.  These can be editted with Soundbooth then they must be imported intot the specific slide in the Powerpoint presentation.  Publish the presentation (as you'll read below) and *should* work This reply came from robva65 [email protected]
    Let's try this: *Publish* the PPT deck you have.  What you'll end up with is a set of files and folders, but I want you to look for the *data folder* that's created as a result of the publishing process. (Unless you specify where you're publishing to, Presenter will publish to a directory called "My Adobe Presentations" by default, so you may have to look there on your harddrive)  Inside the data folder will be a list of mp3 files, which, if everything goes smoothly, should make it much, much easier to see which audio is used by a specific slide.
    Here's what I mean: for example, after publishing, I have a data folder and inside I found the following file: a24x9x3.mp3  As I double click the mp3 file (which causes it to play using Windows Media on my laptop), I can hear that it corresponds to my slide 9 in my PPT deck.  And there's corresponding mp3 files for each and every slide I have in my deck.  I'm clicking another file (wouldn't it be nice to see what I'm doing???) a24x20x3.mp3, and that file corresponds to my slide 20 content in PowerPoint.
    So again, give publishing in PowerPoint a shot and see if that makes it any easier.  Well...not nearly as easy as recording in Audition/Soundbooth/Audacity, but it's close enough to hopefully dig you out of that hole you're in now.
    Hope this helps ~rich

  • I just. Bought an iPad air 2  about two weeks ago. Was working great then it froze on me shut off and won't turn on now?

    I just. Bought an iPad air 2  about two weeks ago. Was working great then it froze on me shut off and won't turn on now?

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
    No content is affected by this procedure.

  • I recenlty dropped my iphone4 in water. now speakers sound muffled. anyway to fix this? this happen several weeks ago and just now started to sound bad?

    help!!

    If it happened several weeks ago then probably not. If it happened a day ago, I would suggest to put it in a tub of dry rice to try and suck out all the remaining water. You could even put it in the oven at a VERY low temperature to try and get rid of the water; you would want to make sure it is only in there for a short period of time though.
    If your warranty is expired, you could try and take it to Apple and they may help you out. Otherwise, your only option to fixing the problem would be to live without the speakers or take it to Apple to have them replace the speakers. The only issue there is that down the road, you may realize you have other problems with the phone. Other things may start to malfunction and before you know it, you will have spent as much money fixing your phone as you would buying a new one.

  • I downloaded mountain lion and then the new office suite (word, ppt, excel) but now when I try to display one of my ppt's it says 'ppt cannot open the file...the file may be corrupt, in use, not a type recognized by ppt etc.." how can I fix it?? HELP

    Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
    If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:
    Office for Mac forums
    PowerPoint is not an Apple product and it seems a lot of people around here avoid Office.

    I did not do my research before changing my Apple ID from an outdated email address to a current one. I just changed and verified and though I was all set. WRONG! Now I cannot sign in to iCloud because it will not let me enter the new Apple ID. I read the 10/30/13 randers4 post to just change your Apple ID back then sign in and change it to the new email address again and then you can sign in, but I cannot change back to the prior email address Apple ID because that is no longer an active email account (or at least not mine). Any thoughts on how to get signed into iCloud when it does not allow me to type in the new Apple ID and the old Apple ID no longer exists.
    I see that many people have asked, but no one has come up with a solution that I found.
    Thanks for any help!

    This did not work for me.  My old email account for iCloud still pops up on my screen every time I open my macbook.  I've deleted it, reset it, every thing I can think of and it still shows up.  I think six months of this is more than enough time to wait.

       Have you tried randomly using Google - Device Manager? Though it will not track the Droid Maxx when it's turned off. It will show the last time the phone was turned on. To see if that coincides with the last time you had the phone on.

    During downloading the new version, it stops with a "waiting" status when Internet's cut happened. Since, impossible to restart or to download again. Help !

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.
