Thanks, Ronni, Apple must have changed its procedures some time back, and I had never heard of multiple Apple passwords for different apps bought at different times. If I had known, I would have kept track of what I bought with which password. It is a very complex matter, and, really, Apple should be the entity to change all the passwords for the customer. It would be easy to set up a program to do it automatically.
Plus, I didn’t buy iCloud: I haven’t used it before, but I wanted to get started with it, but it would not accept either of my 2 most recent passwords. If the only option is to throw the old apps out and buy new ones, then I wouldn’t have many left, unless the pay-once protocol would allow me to get them free. The instructions say, “If you are signed out, do this… and if you are signed in, do that…” How do I know if I am signed in or out with anything? I’m guessing I must be signed out to everything, but I don’t know for sure. It couldn’t be messier. Apple has lost its pristine halo in my books. In the meantime, I am struggling to get back to my computer work.
