The email address-appleid that is coming up and asking me the password for in my app store when i am trying to update my apps is not the same email-appleid i am signed in under when i go to my settings and view my itunes and app store. Its a different apple id than i am using for my icloud, apple id, itunes, ect how can I get this to change where i can update and purchase new apps?

That means that you did not buy the apps using your Apple account. Niel has the correct answer.

cant update apps on my mac or iphone4. asks for password for another account i had on a dell notebook. either i forgot the pass word or its not taking it . i can download apps and music. how can i update apps on my mac and iphone 4?
I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first. -

Resetting User Password in Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks
Boot into your Recovery Partition by hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
In Terminal, type:
resetpassword
...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
Good luck,

How do I change my iCloud Account email? I keep getting prompted to enter a password associated with an old email account I no longer use. I do not have the password for it. How do I change my iCloud Account?
You can't delete an existing account, you can only choose to stop using it. It will still be there should you decide to use it again in the future.

After change to Mavericks my Mac become too slow e I can't use it because stays asking passwords for "talagent" and "messages agent" as icloud keys. I got changed the icloud password many times and still doesn't work. I can't open any program.
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access. -

My email (sign-in) and password for iTunes is different than my email (sign-in) and password for iCloud. How do I change my sign in and password so they are the same for both iTunes and iCloud without losing my iTunes content?
Hey Lakedrive442,
It sounds like you have changed your Apple ID which you use with iTunes. If so there are several places you may need to update it as outlined in this article.

Of course some might not apply, but many might.
Thank you for thinking of Apple Support Communities for your support needs.

I reset the ipad. hoping it would help. but still it needs password for activation. the owner already forgot password for icloud as well as password of the email since it was not used since 2011. help please.
Your sister can go to https://iforgot.apple.com/ and see if she can recover her password.
There is nothing anybody else can do. -
Hey (: I have the new iPad and I want to ask what is "healthier" for the battery : turn the device off in the night or keep it on during the night ? Thank you !
BTW, statements like
"Use the device until the battery has drained to the point of self-shutdown. Basically, use it until it turns itself off."
in articles like the one at http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/ are complete BS and if you do follow their "advice", your battery life will be severely hampered. Particularly if you also follow one of the comments: "Step One.One: Leave the device for 5+ hours before start charging. This will fully drain the battery." Well, the guy that advised the latter certanly doesn't know anyhting about lithium batteries and the damage deep discharging does to them.
Again, what the article (and the above-cited comment) advices is complete b*llsh*t and noone should really do this. -
How can I retrieve or reset an old forgotten password for a old discontinued email address.
how can I retrieve or reset an old forgotten password for a old discontinued email address.
I have lots of bought music that my new laptop can't play because it's not authorizedIf you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (do you remember the answers to your security questions or have a rescue email address on the account ?) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the password reset (they can also reset security questions).
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with

Then update the primary email address to be an email account that you have access to : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621 -
I was trying to set up my mobile phone with Android with the Firefox App and my Netbook which I use the Firefox on and sync them but it came up that I have a Master Password but I do not recall setting one up and I have record of all my passwords that I keep in a secure place and I had trouble with a hacker who had accessed several of my accounts and I am now concerned that they may have also access this and we did not catch this one as we did the other accounts and stopped them from getting access. But that is not my concern any longer as that has been remedied the problem is how do I get the password unlocked or changed since I have no idea what it is? I tried to turn it off but it will not allow me to do that either without knowing it. Please advise as to what can be done so I can use this App on my Droid. Thanks. Deborah

I had to change my password for one of my Email accounts ([email protected]) and now I can not get the mail to go into Mozilla Firefox and I don't know how to change the password in Mozilla to get the mail into it.
I looked at how to change my password but the options you told me to use were not available. I clicked on tools then options but there was no sync tab or manage accounts either.The login.salesforce.com website is using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

I want to be the only one who can access my profile, so how to create passwords for profiles (NOT for websites) ?
thanksMaybe use the portable Firefox version on a USB stick if you want to prevent access to your profile.<br />
Solutions that use an extension can easily be bypassed by starting in [[Safe mode]].<br />
Otherwise you need to locate the Firefox profile folder on an encrypted drive.

My computer sees the auto duplexer on my Epson Stylus PX720WD but iworks says it is not installed. I have contacted Epson and I have the impression that they don't know how to solve this problem. Anyone got any ideas?
If you print to PDF first, and then print it from Preview does it work?

Why such sorry sound quality on iTunes? On some of my purchases the sound level is suppressed on the audio. On others the volume is so low that if I have it set for another song and a new one starts I have to increase the volume to hear it.
There is so much distortion on some of the music I have to play it with QuickTime to get a "clean" track.
What can be done to get a consistent volume level or is this another typical Apple product that you have to take what you get and be happy because it's not a Microsoft product?If that's the best you can do why don't you get on another forum?
