Faculty/Staff Macbook Pro: Apple ID FAQs

  1. What is an Apple ID?
  2. If Goucher IT manages my Mac, why do I need an Apple ID?
  3. What if I have more questions about my Apple ID?
  4. What if I forget my Apple ID or Password?

 

What is an Apple ID?

An Apple ID is your account for everything that comes directly from Apple. This could include:

  • iTunes Music, Movies, and TV Shows
  • Podcasts
  • iBooks
  • iPhone and iPad Apps
  • Mac App Store Apps

Think of an Apple ID as an ownership list. Whenever you purchase, or download a free App, song, movie, etc, it is added to a list of content that you own in your Apple ID. This content can then be used on any compatible Apple device, without having to buy it again! (Note: While they’re both called Apps, Mac App Store Apps, and iPhone and iPad Apps are not the same thing, and can’t be shared across devices.)

Apple IDs, like most other website accounts, tend to be your email address used when you created it. Because the signup process also stores your address and other information to prove your identity, they’re also useful if shopping on the Apple Online Store, or to make reservations at the Apple Retail Store.

 

If Goucher IT manages my Mac, why do I need an Apple ID?

In addition to allowing you access to the iTunes store, and downloading apps onto an iPhone or iPad, an Apple ID allows you to expand the list of Apps that your Mac came with in the Mac App Store. In fact, Apple gives you a few just for being a new Mac owner!

apple appsBy opening up the Mac App Store (click on the blue icon with an ‘A’ on it on your dock), and then clicking “Purchases” at the top of the screen, your Mac will tell you that you have some apps to accept.

Once you sign in on this page, a number of great apps will be automatically added to your account, and begin downloading. Because the apps are now on your account, you’ll be able to update them yourself when necessary!

The apps you’ll get include:

  • Pages: an Apple version of Word
  • Numbers: an Apple version of Excel
  • Keynote: an Apple version of Powerpoint
  • iPhoto: a fantastic photo organizing, editing, and sharing application
  • iMovie: an easy-to-use video editing and sharing application
  • Garageband: an introduction to digital audio recording and music making

 

What if I have more questions about my Apple ID?

Apple’s Knowledge Base has a great set of Frequently Asked Questions about Apple IDs. You can find it at: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5622

 

What if I forget my Apple ID or Password?

Visit Apple’s reset page at http://iforgot.apple.com, and you’ll be walked through the process of resetting your Apple ID.

As soon as you reset your Apple ID, every Apple device you own that uses it will ask you to re-enter your new password. Just put your new password in and hit “OK,” and it will save the password for future use!

Convert Email Addresses in Excel to Outlook Email List

How do I convert a column of email address in Excel to a useable list in Outlook?

Notes:

These instructions work for both PC and Mac computers, using Outlook or Outlook Web Access.
The email addresses must be complete (name@server.xxx) and listed in a single Excel column to use these instructions successfully.

Steps:

  1. Copy and paste the column of email addresses into a blank Microsoft Word document.
  2. A small clipboard appears to the right of the data. Click on this once and select Keep Text Only.
  3. Click the REPLACE button on the Home tab (sometimes found under Edit > Replace).
  4. Click inside the “Find” box and enter ^p. (Hint: The carat symbol “^” is typed using Shift-6.)
  5. Click inside the “Replace” box and type in a semi-colon. (Hint: The semi-colon key on most keyboards is to the immediate right of the letter L.)
  6. Click the REPLACE ALL button. When the process is finished, hit OK and close the Find/Replace window.

You now have a list that can be copy and pasted into the TO,CC,or BCC sections of an Outlook email message.

My printer seems to get jammed with paper at least once a week. Does it need to be replaced?

If you’re using an inkjet printer you may want to make sure that the paper is not too thick.  Try using a standard non-bonded paper to see if that will eliminate the jams.  If the inkjet printer jams regardless of paper thickness, it may need to be replaced.  Check with the manufacturer to see if it’s still under warranty.  If it is a Goucher-owned inkjet or a laser printer please contact the Help Desk for assistance.

I have an inkjet printer that doesn’t seem to be working even after installing new cartridges. How can I fix this problem?

Some inkjet printers require you to replace all empty cartridges before it will work.  For instance, if you only replace the black cartridge but the yellow cartridge is low as well, then the printer will not work.  Another reason why the printer may not work after a cartridge replacement is that the printer may need to go through a series of head cleaning or printer head alignment.  These options can be found in the printer properties

I am unable to access files on Darwin/Magellan. How do I know if it’s just my computer or a system wide problem?

First check to see if anyone else in your dorm room, floor or office is experiencing the same problem.  If so, then the problem could be system wide and you can confirm that by either checking the status online by going to our Facebook page.  You can also check via phone by dialing 6322 and select option 3.
