Update to ios 5 caused issues with my apple id vs. email used for id.

After updating both iphone and ipad to ios 5, it asked to change my apple id from username to email, but will not verify it, saying the email has already been verified with another id.  That would be me.  can I change back to my original user id?  How?  Am a little stuck, now.  Can't update, add apps, or anything without the correct username and password.  Which I have.  Boo.

You had to use an email address to activate the account, so you might want to think back for what email you could have used and see if you can reset it.
I had a similar issue to yours when upgrading iTunes and iOS5. I think it was because Apple changed their security requirements for passwords - they introduced a new requirement to use a minimum of 8 characters, to include upper case, lower case, and numbers in the password.  This was new and caught many off guard.

  • After I updated to iOS 7, my iCloud account is showing the incorrect email address for my Apple ID but will not allow me to change it- it's gray and I can't click on it. How do I fix this?

    If you change your email, you do not need to "change" your AppleID. Just edit your email(s) on your Apple ID by logging in to your AppleID account. You should always use the same AppleID for  Apple Services (iCloud, iTunes etc) and multiple ID will cause problems and confusion in the future.

  • How do I update to iOS 5 from a different computer? ("Main" comp I used for pasted updates/downloads was destroyed.)

    My "main" comp, the comp I have used for sync's, backups, etc. was destroyed in Afghanistan. I have been trying to update to iOS5 for 3 months and I am using a "new" comp, with latest iTunes, but it won't update; it spends hours backing up my iPhone, then proceeds to mess up my apps and restore old ones long ago deleted. Wiping out my iPhone and all the apps, etc., is not an option, nor should it be. I am really not "apple-savvy" so any help would be greatly appreciated. Do I need to wipe out iTunes on all computers and start from scratch? I've had several people who have succesfully updated try to help me out and have had no success. My work schedule makes it tough to get over to an apple store. If anyone can point me in the right direction, you would be saving me countless hours of frustration as well as countless hours spend re-configuring my iPhone. Thank you.

    Carefully follow steps 1-9 outlined by wjosten in this post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/13356770#13356770.  This will not, however, avoid wiping any non-purchased media from your phone (ripped CDs, etc.) as this is only synced one way: from your computer to your phone.  You will have to either rebuild your iTunes library with this content and sync again to restore it to your phone, or purchase 3rd party software to copy it from your phone to iTunes prior to syncing (such as Touch Copy).

  • I'm having issues with a program I need to use for one of my classes.

    Here are the system requirements for the program:
    System Requirements: All versions of NutriBase require a PC running Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT, or Windows Vista. 1 Gbyte of RAM or more is recommended. A minimum screen resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels is required, but higher resolutions are better. No Mac versions are available but you can run NutriBase (and other Windows programs) on a Mac if you are running a Windows Emulator software package (like Virtual PC) or if you have a dual boot (Boot Camp) Mac with Windows installed.
    I don't want to get rid of OS X to install Windows, and I'm not even really sure if I'd have to. Does anyone know of a way that I could use that program on my computer? Anything will help.

    No need to get tid of the Mac OS. Bootcamp (from Apple) will partition your hard drive so you can install and run Windows (directly, by booting you Mac into it), for that you must have a licensed copy of MS Windows. Parallels and VMware Fusion are two virtual machines the run Windows from within OS X.
    Hope this helps...

  • Anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find my provider. I swapped SIMs with another iPhone 4 on ios 4 to confirm device problem.

    Has anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find AT&T, my provider. I swapped SIM cards with another iPhone 4 running ios 4 and established this is a device problem, not a SIM card problem.

    Does the device get any signal? 
    Sounds like the device may have had a hardware failure.  If it is out of warranty, the only option is the Out of Warranty replacement.
    AppleCare is only an option if it is still under the original warranty.

    Hi clintfromid,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  I would recommend closing all your apps and restarting and maybe resetting as good initial troubleshooting steps for this:
    iOS: Force an app to close

  • Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?

    Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?

    That's what I would have thought, but even after saving the setting, as soon as I shut down my computer or log out of Mail, it automatically defaults back to 25. It's a bit frustrating.
    Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of those horrible pop-up banners but still have my glass sound and number of emails in the red dot when I get an email...
    These little tweaks are the only thing I HATE about upgrading my OS.

  • MovieClip Filter Causing issues with EventListeners (mouseEvent.ROLL_OVER)

    Hello,
    I have been working on a flash photo gallery for the web. It loads thumbnails from an xml file into a loader which is then made the child of a movieclip.
    The thumbnails are animated and triggered with mouse events of ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OFF. I have this working, or appearing to, when the movieclip containing the loaded thumbnail has no filters applied to it.
    I want add a drop shadow on the ROLL_OVER event and remove the drop shadow on the ROLL_OFF event. I also have this working, however my problem arises when I mouse over the very edge of the movieclip. This cauese the ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OFF function to fire in rapid succession, creating a flashing dropshadow. This looks aweful and I really have no idea what would be causing this issue.
    Thanks in advance for any advice!
    Regards.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I also found it difficult to believe that the filter was causing issues with the roll over/out events. I will expand on the example code you provided so you get an idea of what I am trying to accomplish and where my issues arise.
    EDIT: I should add that the issue is only present when I tween AND add a filter. If I only add a filter or if I only tween I have no issues but the combination or adding a filter and tweening causes the OVER/OUT events to fire rapidly.
    //This code does not result in a flashing animation
    myClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, overClip);
    myClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, outClip);
    function overClip(e:MouseEvent):void
       myTween =  new Tween(myClip, "scaleX", Regular.easeOut, myClip.scaleX, 1.5 , 3, true);
       myTween =  new Tween(myClip, "scaleY", Regular.easeOut, myClip.scaleY, 1.5 , 3, true);
    function outClip(e:MouseEvent):void
       myTween =  new Tween(myClip, "scaleX", Regular.easeOut, myClip.scaleX, 1 , 3, true);
       myTween =  new Tween(myClip, "scaleY", Regular.easeOut, myClip.scaleY, 1 , 3, true);
    //However if i add these lines of code to add and remove a filter I can observe the flashing effect when the mouse is near the edge of the moveclip
    myClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, overClip);
    myClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, outClip);
    function overClip(e:MouseEvent):void
       myClip.filters = [myDropShadowFilter];
       myTween =  new Tween(myClip, "scaleX", Regular.easeOut, myClip.scaleX, 1.5 , 3, true);
       myTween =  new Tween(myClip, "scaleY", Regular.easeOut, myClip.scaleY, 1.5 , 3, true);
    function outClip(e:MouseEvent):void
       myClip.filters = [];
       myTween =  new Tween(myClip, "scaleX", Regular.easeOut, myClip.scaleX, 1 , 3, true);
       myTween =  new Tween(myClip, "scaleY", Regular.easeOut, myClip.scaleY, 1 , 3, true);
    Is there something obviously wrong with this approach to adding a filter/tweening? I am fairly new to flash.
    Thanks again!

  • Reader causing issues with dropped underscores in courier new font

    When converting a microsoft word document in 2013 or 2007 to a PDF is causing issues with dropped underscores.  It only seems to happen in courier new.  For instance if I have _someCode, when converting this over to a PDF file I will sometimes see _someCode and sometimes I will see someCode.  If I open this file in a different pdf reader then it looks correct 100% of the time.  If I copy and paste into another application then the underscore shows.  This is a major issue for people putting code into a PDF document as underscores are important and courier new is what we often use.

    I love how quick you are to throw Microsoft under the bus.  Often it is their fault.  In this case I believe you are 100% wrong and absolutely short sighted to ignore this.  As I said in my original email, which you apparently missed, I have tried this in multiple PDF viewers and Adobe Reader is the ONLY reader that misses the underscores.  Foxit, PDF Exchange and Sumatra all render it perfectly.  Adobe reader missed 6 underscores in my document that has 18 underscores.  30% of the time in this document Adobe Reader makes the underscore invisible.  And if I switch the zoom to 100% instead of 148% (which is the default for me for some reason) then Adobe Reader misses 7 of them.  This doesnt occur in the other readers.  Blame Microsoft all you want but the simple fact is that Adobe Reader has issues reading courier new's underscores.  It needs to be fixed.

  • I have a 2012 Macbook Pro and the GPU is causing issues with Yosemite. How can I resolve this issue?

    I have a 2012 Macbook Pro and the GPU is causing issues with Yosemite. There are a number of issues I have run across:
    If I have four tabs open on Safari then I start to get a flickering on the screen from the GPU refreshing
    When I leave the computer alone for more than 20 mins the screen saver should start -- what happens is that the screen goes to black. When I move the cursor I do not get the login screen. I have to reboot
    FireFox Web browser will not run
    I get issues with the computer running very slowly
    I have already turned off the transparency option in settings. Any ideas??
    Cheers

    Do you have more than one OS on the Mac?
    You may want to look at something like http://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/. This has a Free Trial window, but it is a commercial application. If there are any heat/sensor issues, this may help.
    A SMC Reset or PRAM/NVRAM reset may also help.

    I updated to ios 5.1, after updating, now my screen is stuck with the apple logo and status bar and isn't doing anything....HELP

    The typical fix if the progress bar totally freezes - meaning no movement at all for more than 20 minutes - and iTunes will no recognize the device - is to try to put the iPad into recovery mode. That is explained here.
    iPad: Unable to update or restore
    However, don't jump the gun. Keep an eye on the progress bar and if it is moving at all - even very slowly - let it go for a while. I'm updating my iPod touch first and the progress bar is moving but very slowly.
