Still working on late brother in law's computer. Was able to reset password but now can't access any data based protected by apple id number, e.g. itunes, and other rhings.
i just buy my iMac here in Mexico, they dont have more iMacs so they give to me the one that have exhibit in the store now here at home the mac tells me that i need a password the problem is that i dont now what is that password.There is one way to recover the password ?

Dopey me. I bought a new Mini today, and eveything's up and running except Apple Mail. I can't configure my account correctly because I can't remember the old password I was using. (It was different from my OSX administrator password.) Can I can create new one?
I don't know why but a recently I've been asked to enter my icloud password related to my iCloud e-Mail address. stupidly, I've forgot what my password is. is there a chance to reset it somehow?Â
To explain the situation a bit better and what I've tried already, here a short discription of the situation:Â
- I do have a appleID that is called firstname.lastname@gmail.com the related password is appleID_Password1.
with this combination I also conduct my purchases in iTunes and the AppStore. But to rule this possibility already out: It doesn't let me access my iCloud eMail account in Apple Mail. Funny enough, though, when visiting iCloud.com this is the combination with which I log onto iCloud incl it's mail service within the web browser.Â
- the iCloud eMail address for whose password I am looking is called something like abcde@me.com. I have implemented it into my Apple Mail program running on Mac OS X Lion. Since setting up the account i've never ever been asked to enter my password. But now, out of a sudden, I was. And, of course, I couldn't remember it anymore. Hence, I don't receive any eMails sent to abcde@me.com anymore on my mac.Â
Can somebody tell me how to fix it, if it is not the password for my appleID??

When I try to use .mac mail, it asks for a mail.mac.com password but I don't remember the mac Mail password I gave when I set up my MacBook. How can I find it or reset it so I can use my mail (I've been using mail through my provider all this time).
I purchased a new Mac and had to deauthorize all computers in itunes because I had over 5. I authorized the current 2 computers but when I go to play some older music in itunes I get a pop up to authorize the computer with my old itunes account which hasn't been used for over 6-7 years. I have no clue as to what the password was and the e-mail on the account id is no longer valid. how to get access to this account or merge to my current account.
I seem to have the same problem that a lot of MacBook users have had with their chargers, but I have an added glitch- I'm in a foreign country and they said I need to get a case number from Apple before they can order one with the same style plug as mine (UK- I'm in Copenhagen right now). Trouble is I seem to be a bit retarded, I can't find a nice "email us to report a problem" button on their web page so if anyone can tell me their customer support email address that would be great. Although I'm not sure if I need the Danish or UK branch.
Right now I am working at a desk, with a USB number pad. It is a different height than my MBP and has different sized keys. It ends up being difficult to use quickly. I think that Apple should make a number pad that is pushed up to the same height as the MBP because it packs a battery inside. With their wireless obsession, I am sure Apple would want to make a bluetooth device, but it would make so much more sense to me if the pad could add a couple extra hours of battery life. It would come with a MagSafe dongle (power discharge) and a USB dongle (input and power charge) in a single cable like the displays. The device would charge when the computer was connected to A/C power, and only discharge when both the MagSafe cable and USB cable were connected to a computer, to make sure that it would not accidentally discharge in a customer's laptop bag. It is unfortunate that the MagSafe and USB ports are on the opposite side of where a number pad should be, but an extra 18� of cable would be a small price to pay for faster inputting and longer battery life.
i had to change my password to my ipod, and then i forgot it. i was wondering if there was a way to change the password with out restoring it. because my desktop computer is really slow and i dont have the time to restore it, and i need to update it.
My apple keyboard number pad doesnt work on windows via bootcamp (works fine on osx 10.5.3), I have the latest firmware for the keyboard on macos and have checked the software update on windows but nothing fixes it, what can I do?
I've never seen or used an Apple keyboard with the numpad and I am unsure as to what some keys are. See the image below, I have highlighted the keys in the image.
is there a way to check a part by number? from apple. I got my repaired laptop back and the 3rd thing they replaced was a "cover" - "mechanical / cosmetic damage" cover of what? i have the part number, is there a way to see what this is exactly?
My Macbook Pro got stolen today, I was wondering if there is a way to find the serial number with my Apple ID which I used to register my MBP.I need the serial number for the police report.
Just got a new Mac Pro and used migration assistant... it didn't seem to go as smoothly as i remember it did last time...
My iphoto and itunes libraries did not copy over. I put my old computer in target disk mode but i can't even open the music folder or the photo folder in the user of my old mac. When i try, it tells me that "The folder "Music" can't be opened because you don't have th permission to see its contents"...
... and so i go to info and try to change the permissions to read/write, but nothing changes...
how do i get into these folders to i can copy them?
I want to get the apple wired keyboard (not the wireless), but I'm undecided on which version. Is the shorter wired version a lot more cramped than the longer one, in respect to the majorily used keys, or is the spacing the same between the characters for both keyboards. I never use a num pad normally and would like to free up a little space on my desk, but I'm worried that the rest of the keys will be more cramped and uncomfortable to type on.
Are there any processes, such as updates or App store downloads, that would cause the serial number to be automatically collected? Does the serial number ever get sent to Apple without explicitly entering it? I ask because I am interested in privacy.
difference between model #s MA519LL/A and MD014LL/A. Both would seem to be usable for a MBA 13. I'm guessing the MA519LL/A is an older model; but wonder if it is still valid.
I have created a number of Apple i/d's that now seem make my records confused. I'm often forced to reset passwords; like today: I tried to log in to use my icloud email address and had to reset the password - again even though I had used for my apple ID minutes before!!. This repeating problem has become a real headache and I want to kill off the old unused apple i/ds and start afresh so i can link my information etc over all my hardware. can this be achieved if I present all my prior information for deletion?
