    After moving and getting a new email address, I was able to call and get my Apple ID changed.  But now when I need to sign in - in order to approve update downloads- the auto fill thingy puts in my old email as my Apple ID and it won’t let me change it.  So I have no way to sign in.  Any ideas how to fix this?  I do not have apple care any longer.  Thanks.

    Assuming you’re using Safari, this is easily fixed by going into Safari > Preferences > AutoFill and then click on the “Edit…” next to “User names and passwords.” FIlter in there for apple.com and remove anything that has your old address. THat *should* do it.

    When you find a big kettle of crazy, it’s best not to stir it.

    I’m guessing you’re referring to App Store Updates? If so, you can change which account you’re logged into, under System Preferences > iCloud. If you’re having issues with the updater saying you’re logged into the wrong account, take a look at this solution: http://www.ngpixel.com/2011/06/25/mac-app-store-you-have-updates-available-for-the-other-accounts-bug/
