Where did my password go?

I'm having major problems.
I'm trying to update apps on my iPhone and it prompts me to enter my password. But it's asking for the password to an Apple ID I stopped using because I couldn't remember the email address.
I signed out of iTunes on the phone and signed in with my new ID. I did this both in the Settings>Store and also in the App store on the phone. When viewing the Apple ID in the Settings and in the Store it shows the correct Apple ID, but when I attempt to update an app it asks for the password to my old ID.
I tried every password I could think of and it's not taking it. I can't reset because I don't remember the darn email address. I've gone through each of my email addresses and searched them but there's no apple email in them.
Does anyone have some suggestion what I can do?

This is the same problem I had! When I buy an app, I get the correct Apple ID, then I scurry on over to update apps and boom, I get the old e-mail address that I can no longer access. I tried answering personal questions rather than having a reset e-mail sent, but it said I did not know my own birthdate!! So I can no longer update apps on my iPhone or iPad!! Bummer!!

On a rare happenstance, I was viewing my passwords, attempting to print them or copy. During cleaning of keys, I hit the delete key, and my passwords were all wiped out. Where did they go?

I DO remember them but Apple chose to put them in Japanese and I can not change the language on Manage my Apple ID so I do not know if I made an error ,it threw me off , it was the wrong question Where did you fly to on your first Aiplane trip ? then I was unable to enter until 8 hours then called Apple Japan 4 times each time threy asked me would you like to speak with an English speaker,I said yes then they told me sorry today is Sunday no English speakers ,but they refused to speak Japanese, then I called 5th time and a kind guy could speak English we were on 1and 1/2 hours he got me to log in but the reset key chain could not be completed still pending.
He said do not mess with that ! then I got a text from somewhere to reset 4 pins suddenly it was very strange I said to him that I got this pin this morning but it said you can use maximum 3 hours it had a UK number and I told him I do not like this and will not enter the code he said do not do it if it is from the UK and then I said to him ok you did a lot to help but we can not go any further ! and we cut of I went back to my computer to re do the ID but I found everything a mess so I call and a stupid sounding Japanese women with a squeaky voice came on I was calm at first and they want your phone number your IMEI number your iPhone serial number date of birth Address email address it takes 10 munutes to check then they ask what are you caling about so I try to explain my keychain is broken or problems with language security questions and can not change my pasword because the security question have failed me so it is ONE BIG HEADACHE AND I START I GET STRESSED she says Do want an ENGLISH speaker ,I say yes ,that guy i talked to earlier but I never got his name and first time I ever talked to him but they said he is not here so I said ok and then she said today is sunday so call back in the morning ,I said ,well ok in Japanese but they make you feel stupid because they do not want to speak Jap@anese with none natives and they are to busy,And they feel that I should not bother them ,then I say that Apple Japan is trying to refuse Apple foreign customers and then she wants to hang up and ask me to visit the shop ,but they are the same I have a very bad time with Apple Japan since they do not discuss software problems or security with customer meaning if you have a problem they ask you to come on a time 20 minutes max so they do hardware test and say you phone is fine then I say no I can not reset my ID they say you must call call centre so I am going around in circles ,When I call English it is usually Australia so if my problem is in Japan surely if do not want me to talk to them in Japanese and they ask me to call Australia but every time my call charge is expensive after asking them is this free because I have Apple care they say yes but when the call goes to Australia 0120 277 535 it might change to paid call so I call then I have to ask is this charging they say we can not give you that information ! so what can I do I have have been at the computer and phone all day on my day off work and in tre week I am so busy and can not use my phone I can not work without it ,this new technology for you ,they can not cope with the fact that the customer have problems yet they do not want to deal with us because they can not solve it and so it shows them to be useless they like to walk around in their cool tee shirts and retro shop but when it comes to functionality we are unwelcome they got the money so do not return because apple is perfect that nothing should go wrong .
But it does somehow my English security answers do not work on a Japanese Question especialy if I did not choose that question I set up the multiple choice In English and wrote the answers in English or Roman and set them langauge preferences in English, do you really think you can correctly write english name or word in Japanese they write a police patrol car pato caa パトカア　they do not have r and l .So it is my choice to make my security easy for me and as difficult for others to hack.But they also have patororoo choo meaning ' now patrolling ' so why they have pato caa patrol car and patoro patrol and have thousands of Chinese words kanji they can find patrol.
I am getting off the topic but I am at a loss to fix this problem when they hold the keys and i have all the info to verify my ID.

I was downloading $15 worth of iTunes songs from a gift card when my iPod died. Now, no credit & no songs on my iPod. Where did either my $$ go or my songs that I paid for disappear? How do I get one or the other? I have 2 of the same iPod's and logged onto both with the same as well as different apple ID's and passwords to each respective iPod and the completion of my downloaded songs has disappeared into thin air. Where did it go? How do I get the credit too re-download those songs to the correct iPod? Please help me!! [email protected]

What happens when you try to redownload them?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
On a computer go to iTunes>Store>View Account>Sign in and go to purchased history and see if you actually purchased them.
Try redeeming the card again

Where did multiple saved login names go in ios8 Safari?

Where did multiple saved login names go in ios8 Safari? In io7 you could have multiple logon names for a given webpage, and select which one you wanted, and even though these different names are saved in saved passwords in the Safari settings, I can't access them. Safari now just allows one saved name/password per webpage, and if you want to change this name, you have to turn off saved passwords, and type in the new name and password. Ios7 worked great, why did you mess around with something that worked? If I could, I would roll back to ios 7.

You should get an Open In window that pops up in Safari that allows you to choose the app in which you want to save the PDF. If you do not have an app that works with PDF files (iBooks, Adobe Reader) you cannot save the file anywhere.

After using time machine my users folder cannot be seen, but all information is still intact. Where did it go?

After using time machine my users folder cannot be seen, but all information is still intact. Where did it go?

This is a new feature or bug if you want to call it that in OS X 10.9.3
Until Apple fixes this, here is a temporary work around.
Copy and paste the following command in the Terminal and then hit Enter, followed by your password.
sudo ln -s /Users /Users\ Folder; ln -s /Users/Shared /Users/Shared\ Folder
This will put a link to the Users folder called "Users Folder" on your Hard Drive and a link to the Shared folder called "Shared Folder" inside of the Users folder.

Where did Apple get my Alias? How can I change it?

I have no idea why Apple is using this name as my Alias on everything. It's not something I would have ever chosen, so it must have been taken from a form somewhere. Questions:
1) Where did it come from?
2) How can I change it?
3) If I can't change it, why not?
4) If I can't change it, how can I get rid of it?
Thanks.

Hi, Donnie (or unknown) -
#1 - Don't know. Perhaps if your machine is a used one, the previous owner has autofill set in the browser with that for the name field. Or, if it is your name, if you did not specify something else as an alias it probably grabbed your name.
#2 - You can't.
#3 - Because the forum software will not permit the change of an alias for anyone. Once an account has been created, the alias is locked for that account. You can change the associated email address and password, but not the alias.
#4 - You can't. Once an account has been created it exists, and can not be made to not-exist.
What you can do, though, is to no longer use that one. Create a new account, insert the alias you prefer, and let the old one age off into pages where no one looks.

Where did autologin go?

I dont really want to log in with a password when I boot up - but where did autologin go?

Yup - had found that - although oddly when I disabled it and then enabled again it finally worked. Odd! Thanks!

Foxfire 4 removed some of my programs. Where did they go?

I used to have a program that kept track of my passwords, created new ones when needed, etc. When I installed Foxfire 4, it disappeared. Where did it go?

What add-on or program was it? You can open the "Add-ons" manager (choose "Add-ons" from the Firefox menu or the Tools menu) and see which add-ons are disabled.
Add-ons must be tested and updated before they can be used with new versions of Firefox. There may be updates for your add-ons, or alternate add-ons you can use with Firefox 4.
For tips on finding updates or other add-ons, and other solutions, see:

HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 551dn - where did the drivers go?

I go to the download page to download the drivers for this 551dn. I download all windows 7, 8, 8.1, 2008, 2012, so that i can put them on my print server. I downloaded them from here..

HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 color M551 Printer Series PCL6 Print Driver (no Installer) 61.130.04.12834
24 Sep 2014 21.3
I get the file downloaded (LJEnt-color-M551-Drv-no-installer_12297.exe), i run it, get the security warning and Run. the file extracts - then POOF, the installer is gone.
where did the files go? They aren't on the root of the C: drive, a folder/files were not created on my desktop, no files or folder created in my downloads folder.
I was never asked for a file save location.... ??? really? is this this basic stuff?
Where are the files? this $$$ printer is a brick until i get drivers!
Thanks!
Jason
UPDATE- I FOUND THE FILES!!
First of all, HP... i'm not impressed.
All the files for all the drivers are in a series of temp folders...
C:\Users\-myusername-\AppData\Local\Temp\3\7zS4A73
really?
hope this helps someone.

There is no change to this problem after 6 months since the last post. Put simply, and as stated in the previous posts, there is no way to scan a document and receive the image on your PC. If you are working with graphics for any length of time or want to create an image for inclusion as an image in a document or web page using this piece of equipment will not allow you to do so.
Great shame as every other function works well - it cannot be beyond the wit of HP to include a Windows application that enables you to scan an image, receive it in the software you are using at the time (e.g. Outlook, Word, Photoshop...) and use it in your work.
HP Printers several years older than this £1000+ Enterprise printer were able to do this simple job and have done so for a great many years. Just being able to use Microsoft's Fax and Scan would be start.

How do I print a mirror image? Where did the old functionality go?

Within the last several months I was able to print a mirror image of my document to my HP DeskJet F4180 in high resolution. I don't know if it is the new HP drivers, or my new Snow Leopard OS but now I can' figure out how to do it again. I can grab a screen shot in and flip it in Preview but it ends up printing in low resolution.
I have printed mirror images in the past from my PDF applciations and I think from Office 2008 (PowerPoint). I find no documents saved on my hard drive that come up saved as a reverse image so I suspect that I was using a printer feature not an application feature to print mirror images.
Where did this functionality go?

Found it!
Use the check box marked Flip Image. Didn't is say mirror before?

Where did the Stream 7 drivers go?

The support page for downloading drivers for the HP Stream 7 tablet (any model) has disappeared from the HP website.
Navigating to the HP Stream 7 support page, Selecting "Software and Drivers", then "Go directly to software and drivers page", Operating System "Windows", then Version "Windows 8.1" (the only choices), then clicking the Update button, gives a message "No software or drivers are available for this product with the selected operating system. Please make a different selection, or visit the product homepage. " This happens using Firefox, IE 11, or Chrome.
These drivers have been missing for at least a few weeks, and multiple forum users have also had no luck finding them. Before that time the drivers seemed to come and go randomly, but they've stayed missing now for weeks. One dorum user has posted direct FTP links to the drivers, and they might be the latest version, but not really sure.
Where did the drivers go, HP?

This is for the 5701 as of a few days ago.

To my knowledge, the wish list has never been in the iTunes app. It certainly isn't now. You can comment to Apple here:
