Hi All,
Before you set up an Apple ID and password on your IOS device, or a
new Mac, I want to remind everyone to write all pertinent information
down either in large print or Braille, or on a digital recorder, so if
you forget your password, you'll have that to refer to.
I learned this the hard way, when I tried setting up my Apple account,
setting up Mavericks.
Consequently, what happened to me, I ended up with several ID's and
none of the machines I have recognized one. Ultimately, I had to call
Apple tech support, and though they couldn't assist me because of new
policies of Apple's, regarding ID's and Passwords, they did tell me to
go to my local Mac Store and start from scratch.
Lesson learned: Write down, or record, and and all pertinent
information before installing, or while installing and setting up,
then file it somewhere so you can find it, should you forget your ID
and Password.
I am aware that many of you are long-time, Apple users and already
know this; however, there are those on the list who are new to Apple,
and with the recent identity glitches and thefts, I think it is a
matter of reminding folks to write down their information. So from
now on, I have a notebook which I keep in my safe deposit box, with
all my Apple information so I have it right there when I need it. I
don't store it on my computers or IOS devices because hackers love
nothing better but to intercept ID's and passcodes.
As they say in the Lifelock commercials, "Nothing is perfect," but if
we minimize the problem, we'll sleep better.
Thanks for reading/listening.
