TS4139 Has anyone ever called Apple to have them change a .mac AppleID manually?

Is this possible?  It's driving me crazy that my official AppleID is an email address I no longer use.

An @mac.com email address is an Apple ID and cannot be changed: but the @me.com version of it is the same thing and can equally be used for login purposes. Is that what concerns you, or have you stopped using the @me.com address as well? You don't have to be using it to log into, for example, iTunes with it, as long as you provide them with a contact address which does work.

  • Do I need to contact Apple to have them "clean" my Mac every 3 months?

    I contacted Apple for help on an iPhone and was told they couldn't help me because my Mac had not been "cleaned".  Do I need to contact Apple to have my Mac cleaned every 3 months like the rep. told me? I have never heard of this.  They were supposed to call my husband back the next day to take care of the "problem" however, it's been a week now and no one has called.  Now my computer is running slow, whereas I wasn't having problems with it before I allowed the rep. start a session through iYogi. 

    You have been scammed. No such cleaning is needed, and no real Apple rep would tell you that. iYogi is a Windows tool.

  • TS1424 Has anyone purchased songs only to have them drop as in skip after 30 seconds? or a minute?  please help! thank you...

    I've bought a couple albums recently - and after about 30 seconds to a minute it'll skip to the next song, and even if you restart the song it does the same thing.
    I've tried restarting my computer and that didn't work either... does anyone know what's going on?
    Please respond as soon as you all can.
    cheers,

  • Has anyone ever noticed that pictures of self change position (when taken with someone else)?

    When you take a picture of yourself (and someone else) - their positions change. I would be on the right of them. When reviewing the picture, their position changes and now I'm on the left...

    It's when you turn the camera onto yourself (and when you're taking a picture of yourself and someone else)

  • Has anyone ever seen this error

    We just launched a vaccation tracking app with a coldfusion
    front end and an access 97 backend (dont ask). The app was tested
    for over a month and passed all tests. However we never tested for
    volume, or amount of users hitting the app. On the backend, we have
    an access table linked to a text file. Again, this tested out
    perfectly over the past month. This morning after release to the
    entire company of about 2,000 people, users began reporting this
    error:
    The text file specification 'EmployeeList Link
    Specification6' does not exist. You cannot import, export, or link
    using the specification.
    Some users logged in to the app successfully and some
    recieved this error. For those that recieved the error, we had them
    back out and re-login and then the app worked just fine.
    Has anyone ever seen this or have a guess as to what is going
    on?

    Hi,
    The right way would be to use a "real" database server.
    But you can test if db-caching can improve the issue.
    With each <cfquery> you can set a cachedwithin
    parameter. Using that should allow you to query the Access db once,
    and then have CF keep the query results in memory (for the DB as
    well as the text-file).
    You could query the complete database with no filtering this
    way, and then filter the data using QueryofQuery to output only
    records for specific users/groups/regions.
    You also need to make sure the settings in CF admin are
    configured right for this.
    The more often the database content is updated, the slower
    this solution will get though.
    cheers,
    fober
    ps. for the cachedwithin parameter in the query set a
    timeframe of forever, so the recordset never gets updated, and then
    actually execute a new query to update the recordset at the end of
    your "save a vacation" or "updated a vacation" functions. This way
    the app would only read the db when a real change to the records
    occurred.
    But like I said with 2000 users, even that may not be enough
    to get the app performing.

    Hi pholewinski!
    I have a couple of articles for you here that I believe will help you with this issue. The first is an article on advanced troubleshooting, and it can be found here:
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3297
    If following that article's steps doesn't take care of the issue, you can try the things listed in this article, which is about permissions issues in iTunes:

  • Has anyone ever changed an apple id on the iphone

    my wife and i have been sharing an apple id and i now want to provide her with her own.  since the icloud has been launched any app she downloads i get and vice versa.  Has anyone ever switched out an applie id on the iphone before.  does it have to be synced with itunes once to make the change happen?  If so will i still be able to keep all of the contents ih her phone.

    You can share iTunes content within the same household, so if you get your own Apple ID/iTunes account, you can continue to use content obtained using your Wife's account. Any app updates to apps obtained using the wife's Id must be done using that ID. Just authorize the computer for the new Apple ID/iTunes account: Store>Authorize this Computer. You can switch iTunes accounts on the phone by going to: Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...sign back in with the ID you want to use.

  • Has anyone ever experienced the situation where plugging in the USB connector to the charging source (high-power USB port or Apple charger) halfway, then pressing it in firmly, results in the iPad not charging?

    Has anyone ever experienced the situation where plugging in the USB connector to the charging source (high-power USB port or Apple charger) halfway, then pressing it in firmly, results in the iPad not charging?

    It's highly likely that there is a poor connection in the phone - either a pin in the dock connector or internal wiring harness.  No software fixes or "tricks" would work, but I would recommend restoring in iTunes, first using a backup and if needed restore as a new phone. 
    Otherwise, opening and repairing the phone takes some tech knowledge that can't be relayed here.  Apple doesn't repair phones other than replacing batteries (not inconceivable that you have a bad battery), but offers "out-of-warranty" replacement (refurb) phones for $149 (US).  3rd party iPhone repair centers may be able to fix it for less.  Google to find them,
    Tried soft and hard resets
    FYI, there's no such thing as "soft" or "hard" resets in iPhone terminology.  There is only one phone reset. You'll see those terms thrown around by technically ignorant posters, but they mean different things to different people and are actually archaic, 1980s PC terms that have nothing to do with iPhones.
    See the User Guide, Appendix B.

  • Has anyone ever lost a ringtone that they purchased and downloaded? I have; completely gone. And when I searched and attempted to download it again I got the message "you've already purchased this; do you want to purchase it again?"

    Has anyone ever lost a ringtone that they purchased and downloaded a ringtone and then it just completely disappeared? When I tried to download it again I got the message "You've already purchased this item; are you sure you want to buy it again?"

    You are aware that there the app may have downloaded and been placed on the second screen.  Not the main one.  Can you swipe to the right to see if it is there?

  • Has anyone ever had an email from Apple asking them to update their details for their Apple account on IPad? Kinda worried as it asks for my bank details and bank account number and security code on the back of the card. Thanks :)

    Has anyone ever had an email from Apple on IPad asking them to update their account details? The email seems genuine enough as it asks you to sign in with your Apple ID and password and takes you through to the Apple site but am a bit worried as they ask you in the section Update Your Apple account for bank and credit card details and for the security number on the back of the card. Also in the section where it asks for my mobile number it will only take 10 numbers and when ai try to put in the final (11th number) it won't let me. Sorry am new to all this and a bit confused! Any help is gratefully appreciated.....Thanks.
