the name reserved for me is wrong. how can I change it?
The name reserved should be the same as your @me email.
You can't change your email address, but you can create an alias.

Why can't I reset the master password with the option of removing all username:passwords by unchecking "Use Master Password"? Currently, there seems to only be the option to issue a "chrome:" command in URL which DOES reset the master password. However, it was something that I had to google. The intuitive option would be to uncheck the "Use Master Password" checkbox, receive a verification dialogue, and blammo, password reset. Please make this a feature, thank you.

<blockquote>
You can remove all password in the Show Passwords dialog.
That is where you manage the passwords.
The master password is only for protecting the passwords with an extra level of encryption and has nothing to do with erasing passwords apart from resetting the MP in case you have forgotten the MP and can't open "Show passwords".

Sorry, for being unclear. Essentially this is a feature request for an option under Firefox options (why not?) to reset my Master Password not knowing the Master Password. For Security reasons I understand why all the saved passwords have to be wiped, but wiping the Master Password (having forgotten it) should be an option without having to issue an arcane command that one has to google to figure out. -
I have an older iMac (OS X 10.4.11), and I forgot my master password. Is there anything I can do to reset the master password?
Here's the instructions if you have the discs.
Mac OS X: Changing or resetting an account password
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274?viewlocale=en_US
Changing your administrator password
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh655.html
Here's one method to reset the password without the install disc:
1. boot computer and hold the "apple" key and the "s" key.
2. wait for terminal show
3. release keys
4. type without the quotes: "/sbin/mount -uaw"
5. press enter
6. type without the quotes: "rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
7. press enter
8. type without the quotes: "reboot"
9. press enter
This will let you create a new admin account when you reboot your computer.
Also, without the discs, look at Mac OS X Tip - No Password, No Root, No CD? No Problem.
http://www.macobserver.com/tip/2003/06/16.1.shtml
Here is a way to get around not knowing the admin password on Macs.
To reset your OS X password without an OS X CD you need to enter terminal and create a new admin account:
1. Reboot
2. Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
* mount -uw /
* rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
* shutdown -h now
4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can simply delete the old one and you’re good to go again!

How can I see if the extra content has been downloaded?
I am using Garageband, the newest version, and I recently purchased the Additional Sounds pack. How can I tell or see if these additional sounds have been downloaded? This is urgent please help!
Thanks.This document is describing what should be installed by the download:
See: Expanding GarageBand for Mac (v10.0) content with an in-app purchase
An easy test is to see, how many Drummer instruments are there. Initially, you will only see the drum kit "SoCal".
Also, after the in-app purchase installed, you are able to by the free "Learn to Play" lessons from the Lesson Store.
So just check, if you can use a different drummer patch or can download additional lessons. -
Why do I get error -1074388985 at CAN Connect Terminals when the Channel API has been stopped?
While trying to establish synchronized CAN and DAQ using the Channel API, I get the error -1074388985 while attempting to connect the RTSI Clock to the master timebase. The error message occurs each time I try to run the example VIs shipped with LabVIEW 6.1. I am using a Series 2 PCI CAN card with a 6034E DAQ card. Any ideas? Tech support did not have a solution.
Hi AVR,
This warning means you have tried to change an attribute on a running object. This causes the warning and should not take place.
Use the "Initialize' function instead of the "initStart" Function, then change the Attribute and use the "Start" function to start the communication, or stop the communication using the "stop" Function before you change any Attribute and then start again.
Hope that helps

Just continue to use the old AppleID account. You can update it with new email address if you wish.

Accessing a Windows Server 2012R2 system when the administrator password has been forgotten
Hello,
Is there a last resort method of getting back into the system?
I understand that with 2012R2, you can no longer make a Windows recovery disk.
Thanks for your help.

R K HowardHi Keith,
I agree with Milos, there is no other solution from Microsoft to solve forgotten password issue other than restore:
