Microsofto account

I have never been so confused in my live until Windows 8.1 came into existence. I have so many questions, and you are probably weary of hearing from me. Yet here I am with more questions.

It's true, that if we don't update to 8.1, will get us more updates for Windows 8?

Can I use the account that I created with Windows live, like my MS account, or should I create a new? I created that I have to be able to access these forums, but it works very well with the aps to W8.

I would like to change the email that I use on behalf of "MS" I HAV? How can I do?

If I use the email that I have now, can I change later, after I have updated to 8.1?

The accout I have works well with apps in Windows 8, but when I try to use it, it gives me options: save or cancel. What happens if I click on save and then later change my email account?

Why couldn't they have done this patch with no hazzles attached to it, as the SP3 package they do for Windows XP earlier?

I plan not to use MS account when I update. I'll try to see if I can keep the same local account I (I'll have to add a password, I got off earlier). But want to have an account set up advance MS, in case they insist on it.

Please, please, someone answer me. I'll be waiting for a response before you begin to update.

Thank you

Hi, I'll try to answer your questions in order.

  1. Yes, you must get 8.1 or you won't get future updates.  Although it was given a lot of attention, there is actually nothing new.  For the past 20 years, there are always a few updates that are prerequisites that you must have before you can get more updates. That is why it has always been that you get a computer, install the updates, restart, and then suddenly have more updates.  If you do not install the first batch, you won't get the next game.  It's the same way with the 8.1 update.
  2. Yes, you can use any Microsoft Account to log into Windows, no need to create a new.  If you have already a MSN, Hotmail, Live, Outlook, Xbox, or any other service Microsoft connection, you can use them as your Microsoft Account.
  3. You can change the email address used for your Microsoft Account by creating what is called an Alias.  Go to http://account.live.com and look for the Alias option on the left.
  4. Yes you can change your e-mail later, after you update.
  5. I don't know what you mean, what you asking to save/cancel?
  6. There is no fixed worries Windows 8.1. He moved from Windows Update automatically just like other updates.  What problems are you talking about?
  7. You will never have to use a Microsoft Account, you can still keep your local account.  It's your choice.  Although get you some great benefits if you connect it to your account of Ms.

  • Can I combine 3 accounts 1 Apple?

    I've made several purchases (apps, music, movies) from the iTunes store.  Unfortunately for me, until I realized it was a problem, I made the purchase of three different accounts.  I asked once before and I was told that it was impossible to combine accounts.  The situation has changed, or is there a reasonable workaround?

    I bought the clean my Mac 3 software...

    'Cleaning' apps are scams. Extract of effective defenses against software malware and other threats:

    • Never install a product that claims to 'clean up', 'speed', 'optimize', 'boost' or 'speed up' your Mac; to "wash", "tune" or to make it "brilliant". These allegations are absurd.
      • These products are marketed very aggressively. They are all scams.
      • They usually operate on the erroneous premise that Mac builds 'junk' that must be systematically 'cleaned' for optimum performance.
      • Trial versions of these programs are successful because they provide more instant gratification of free space on the disk.
      • This increased space is the result of irreversible destruction of files, programs or operating system components normally protected against accidental tampering or removal. The eventual result will be the reliable operation, poor performance and random crashes that may not become evident for months, or even years after their use, when updates of programs or OS X are finally released.
      • Memory "cleaners" that bypass the work of OS x memory management algorithms by purging the memory contents inactive for mass storage, which can only result in performance degradation and accelerated the hardware failure.

    To remove 3 CleanMyMac itself, use its Uninstall module, followed the following additional steps:

    • Delete the file ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Scheduler.plist

      • To access this file, copy and Paste the following line in the menu to go to Finder > go to folder...

    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/

      • Locate the following file and drag it to the Trash:

    com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Scheduler.plist

    • Then, open  (menu Apple) > System Preferences > users and groups > login items.
    • Select the item of Menu of CleanMyMac3
    • Click on the [-] (button less).
    • Restart your Mac.

To recover from the effects of using it to change the OS X / Sierra, you need additional software and essential files you need, follow the applicable recovery procedure below:

    • If you have a backup that you created before using CleanMyMac, now is the time to use it. For Time Machine, start macOS Recoveryand in the form of Mac OS X utilities , select restore from a Time Machine backup. Choose a date prior to the installation of CleanMyMac.

  • Best Macbook for Uni/accounting?

    Hi, I'm hoping to go to University the year next to study accounting and finance. Yesterday I bought the new gray Space 12 '' Macbook Online (without testing in-store), however I am now questioning if it was the right decision, as almost all the critics have said that the 13 "Macbook Pro than the Macbook at all levels (in addition to being more heavy/less portable). I'm 17 and I am not very well informed about the technological differences - but for now I don't seem to get on with the Macbook, it has a very small keyboard and it is almost too light so he could be comfortable on my lap, etc., but it must just be endured. If I work in the offices of accounting on investments as well as to take around Uni, what Macbook would be better for me?

    I'd appreciate really no help from any good Apple fans informed. Thank you!

    Probably not a Macbook at all, there is a shortage of good accounting software for Macs. A portable powerful Windows would be better and (b) cheaper.

  • IMSG hacked account, sending a lot of international text in current bill

    So yesterday my pirate apple account (connected from a unknown macbook) and I noticed someone was frantically sends many messages from my phone, images which got also sent as normal text to an international number. After noticing, I quickly changed password. Checked my mobile BT phone bill, and he had already executed a bill for all these messages sent to international numbers. The appeal of BT until you see what they can do and they just said, you will have to pay for the Bill and that was that.

    What to do about this? my password was normally good security level and don't even know how he hacked. How would stop it doesn't happen because it looks just like any time I could just be landed with a massive Bill. Fortunately, I noticed pretty quickly this time, so the Bill does not accumulate to something that would be unfeasible. But with the telephone companies want to help at all, it seems extremely unfair!

    However going on the Yahoo Site and change the password does nothing.

    With the help of their option 'insecure Apps' does nothing no more (there was an email saying I was using access to messaging through an unsafe application - but I have not used their messaging service for a very long time.)

    It does say read more suggests, is not Mail (after OS X 10.9 is OK)

  • Merge two e-mail accounts

    I have a few email addresses Yahoo and SBC Global, I'm able to check in a single mailbox on yahoo.com, while being able to select in each address when you compose an email.

    However, I'm unable to understand how to configure my Apple Mail account to reflect my yahoo.com account. Currently in Apple Mail, I have a separate account of the SBC Global and a separate account of Yahoo. I implemented this way because it was the only way I knew to be able to select different e-mail addresses when you are composing an email. The problem with this configuration is the number of unread emails is doubled due to them being two identical mailboxes.

    If possible, I would like to combine/merge the mailboxes while being able to have two e-mail addresses to select when you compose an email.

    I hope that what I am asking is logical and someone out there will be a solution because I know that I'm not the only person using several e-mail on the same Yahoo account alias.

    Thank you, in advance, for any help you are able to provide.

    Chris

    Hello and welcome to Apple support communities, OMMBoy.

    If I understand your post right, you are wanting to be able to set up your Yahoo/SBC Global account once in post, rather than implement them separately, but still be able to choose one or the other when you dial an outgoing message. I know from personal experience, how practical is to be able to choose the account that come from your emails, so I'm happy to help you find a solution for this today!

    It is not a way to 'merge' mail accounts in the mail that you mentioned, but hopefully that won't matter because it seems that these two accounts are already merged on the side server. That you would do so first remove one of these mail e-mail accounts so that only rest. It shouldn't make a difference, that you decide to keep. You can find steps on how to remove one of these email accounts in Mail for Mac: Configure Mail with your email accounts, specifically this section:

    Delete an account

    When you delete a mail e-mail account, messages from the account are deleted and are no longer available on your Mac. The copies of the messages remain on the mail server account and are still available (from webmail, for example).

    Important: If you are not sure if you want to keep the messages are still on the mail server, move or copy them to a mailbox stored on your Mac (the mailbox appears in the section on my Mac in the mail sidebar) before deleting the account in Mail.

    1. Choose Mail > Preferences, and click accounts.

    2. Select an account, then click on the button Delete .

      Note: If the account is used by other applications on your Mac, you are prompted to delete the account in Internet accounts system preferences. Click the button to open an Internet account, and then clear the box e-mail for the account. To stop using the account in all applications, make sure that the account is selected, and then click the button Delete .

    Once you have one of these e-mail accounts deleted, you will follow the steps of Mail (Yosemite): use e-mail alias, to add the address to remove as an alias. Don't worry that the article shows "Yosemite", the steps are the same for Sierra.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    Take care.
