Why did I have to create a new ID when I logged into Communities this morning? Appears I don't have any history anymore either.

Why did I have to create a new ID when I logged into Communities this morning? Appears I don't have any history anymore either. I used the same browser and username/password (its stored in my browser) and it asked me to fill out my profile and pick an alias. Not sure what the deal was, it appears Apple can't figure out this whole id thing. I've used other community sites for over a decade without having to change my user/profile, I don't understand why this is such a pain with Apple.

Agreed! I was trying to find out how to reclaim my old name since I use it for all sites. I can't seem to find the answer so I made a new one to ask questions before giving up on it.

Why did I have to get a new username to use this forum?

I have been a .mac subscriber for what seems like centuries (got my first SE in 89), and I've used the discussion forums elsewhere on the mac site a lot. Yet, today, even though the site properly identified me by name when I logged in, it forced me to choose a new username (my old one was "taken") and create a new account. What gives??

Hi mariaangela!
Are you sure that you entered the exact Apple ID and Password, that you formerly used, to access  Discussions?
The Apple IDs were usually an Email address. And not the same as an Alias used in  Discussions.
What is the Alias of your original account?

HT1918 why do i have to create a new itunes account because I moved to Canada from the U.S.?

why do i have to create a new itunes account because I moved to Canada from the U.S.?( My current account won't let me change my address to canada so my billing address for account is incorrect, making it impossible for me to buy anything). Will it affect what I am able to put on my device i.e. already downloaded apps, music, etc?

This is not possible...
Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID.

I have just created a new username and bought a new prepaid phone. I am being toldf I am not the account owner. Why is this?

I have just created a new username and bought a new prepaid phone. I am being toldf I am not the account owner. Why is this

Owner status on POST PAID is not the same as PRE PAID.
on prepaid you can get any device you like.
But you pay upfront.
People on post paid get the advantage of reduced priced devices on contracts. Prepaid is no contracts.
Any carrier will function the same way. Go online and check out Verizon pre paid policy and then look at the other carriers.
Maybe prepaid from Walmart or Boost Mobile, or Cricket etc. would be best for you. Pay for all you can eat calling, texting and data for one low price. Say $45-$55 and buy the phones they offer.
Good Luck

HT4436 I want to turn on Notes on my iphone, but it keeps saying that I have to create a new icloud account to do so. Why? I already have an apple account that's @gmail instead of @icloud.

Yeah. So. Basically what the giant-*** title that I didn't think was just a title said: Why should I have to create a new @icloud account? And how do I make my idiot phone not ask me to do so?

It's not asking you to create a new iCloud account or AppleID - it is asking you to create an iCloud email address within your existing iCloud account.
You need to create an iCloud email address because that is where the Notes you want to use are stored and how they are 'synced' between devices and iCloud.

How do you add musci to the Iphone? I just installed itunes 11.1.5.5. Now the format in Itunes is changed. when I am trying to add music to my iphone, there is no longer an add button under the Iphone device. Why did they have to change this? Can anyone help, Im tryiong to add music.

Correct. When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box. This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing.
You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands. It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
10.6 software is not downloadable. You must purchase a DVD disc. You can order it from the on-line apple store

Since changing our computer I have been unable to download ebooks to my Reader Library I get a message Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library; Waterstones suggest that I may have accidentally created a new Adobe

When I try to download them from the Waterstones website I get a message saying:
‘Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library. Do you want to associate them now? When I reply yes I get another message; ‘Configuration error unable to update EPUB files check network firewall and try again’.
The ‘books’ are saved in the Download directory and I can’t transfer them from there to my E-Reader. I have not had any problems before, it was very simple; I saved the download and it automatically went into the Reader Library.
I contacted HP and they said it is a software error and suggested I contact Waterstones. I contacted Waterstones Customer Support and got the following response:
As the error message is specifically mentioning the firewall it does sound like something in the firewall settings is stopping the download from taking place correctly. However, the files should not be being saved to the Download folder. It would be worth trying again by going to your Digital Order History on your Waterstones.com account and pressing the download button, and then making sure to press "Open" not "Save". When you press Open rather than Save it should give the option to open the file with Adobe Digital Editions. If the firewall message still comes up then I'm afraid something is blocking it on your end.
If the above "Open" download method works but you then still get an error message it could possibly be that you have accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up on the new computer, rather than signing in with your old Adobe ID. It would be worth trying the aforementioned download technique again first, but if problems did still persist it would be worth calling Adobe themselves on 0207 365 0735, as they should be able to sort out any account issue.
In response to the first para of Waterstones email I already do what they suggest I do press ‘Open’ not ‘Save’ but I don’t get the open with Adobe Digital Editions (we have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer. Waterstones say we may have ‘accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up the new computer’ does that mean that we shouldn’t have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer as it would have already been there? How do I sign in with my old Adobe ID?

Hi all after attampting to get some supoport from adobe by phone.... nice people infurating policys as far as support for digital editions or DRM is conserned... However I got no where with support.
I ended up instaling Digital editions on my desktop PC and going through the motions of registering and borrowing a book then returning it. Then I trying on my iPad, Bluefire worked, Over drive did not so I completely removed Overdrive and reinstalled and re registered. all working now.
Maybe some one at adobe did something. Maybe the install of the adobe DE client on a PC corrected what ever was out of wack with my account. Mayby the server that my account lives on did a scan disk and corrected a bad clustrer.
What ever happend My account is actiove and working again. hope this helps others.

After complete reset of iPod after lockout, I cannot retrieve old gamecenter ID. how can I use my old account for gamecenter now that we have had to create a new username?

We had to create a new username for gamecenter using the same apple ID. We want to use the old gamecenter account....we have purchased in-app items for those games and now have no access to that account. How can I fix this? Or am I just out of luck and start over with the new username.....

You are running into the Activation lock and you need to enter the Apple ID and password for the account last used on the iPod.
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
To recovery use of that account:
Why do I see the message "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons” when I enter my password?
This message means that someone was unable to sign in to this account multiple times. The Apple ID system will disable the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You'll need to follow the instructions on My Apple ID to reset your password.
If not successful, contact iTunes

Have to Create a new Home Sharing account every time I want to share with Apple TV

Every single time I want to stream media from my PC (Windows 7) to my Apple TV, I have to create a new home share account. I litereally have to get rid of my Home Sharing in both iTunes and on my Apple TV (2nd Gen), and then create a new one, and everything works fine. My Apple TV is hard wired to my computer, so I know it's not a problem with WiFi.
Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it?

My Apple TV sometimes sees my PC iTunes (home sharing) and sometimes not. No configuration changes are needed to make the problem go away or to happen again. No one seems to know why.
I am going to try rebooting PC the next time Apple TV ignores my PC and see if that helps. I have tried everything else.

Why did you have to change the layout of Firefox?

I would like to know why you have gone and changed the layout of Firefox?
I am still on Fx 3.6.18 because quite frankly 5.0.1 looks horrible.
Why did you have to change everything and move things around. Why couldn't you have given us the same layout as 3.6.18 but with these new upgrades.
I will never download Fx5. 3.6 was perfect.
Also how can I contact Fx without upgrading?

Sorry the old Feedback page - Hendrix - used with older versions of Firefox was disabled near the end of 2010.
In Firefox 4+ versions there's a Help > Submit Feedback... menu item which leads here: http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/feedback <br />
But you can't submit feedback there with an older version of Firefox, currently you need Firefox 5.0 or higher.
The decision to change the GUI was made by Mozilla collectively, not by a small group of developers or by one person. If you put your efforts toward customizing Firefox to suit your tastes, it would be a lot more productive than trying to find out who to blame and where to complain about the changes made to Firefox. Geez dude, it ain't the end of the world. It's only a web browser, which can be easily modified to make it look like you thing it should look.

HT204370 why did i have to buy the movie again if i allready bought it?

why did i have to buy the movie again if i allready bought it? i want my money back

You can't get a new DVD, which is what RG said. VUDU, the download service Walmart resells, is a different subject and not what RG was referring to.
But what some other company can allow is irrelevent to the issue. From the iTunes Store, movies can be re-downloaded only in the US, and then only from those movie studios that have allowed it. This is not by Apple's choice; it's completely the choice of the movie studios.If your movie is not available under the Purchased section of your iTunes Store account, then redownloading is available only if you purchase the movie again.
Regards.

My iTunes is accessed with an old email address. I have just created a new apple ID and now want to change my iTunes account to reference this- how do I do it?

Arghh!! I am literally about to throw my new iPad out of a window - apple is driving me beyond crazy. I have an old iTunes account to which all my music is saved. I have just created a new apple id and want that to be the one that my iTunes account references - it won't let me change my old email to this as it says my new apple I'd is sychd to another account. How do I do it? Am desperate!

Delete them and then download them from the desired Apple ID. This may require repurchasing paid applications.
