i had to switch from amazon fire stick to tv last week and remote is a major improvement.
of course i have learning curve issues as a rookie, which is very touch sensative.

The rich that fell for a 'get richer' pyramid scheme, bitcoin scams, Wells Fargo's fake accounts and so on are given headlines but not an elderly widow ripped off by a roofing company that goes out of business with her life savings and no work is done only to start up again a few weeks later in another State. This and hundreds of similar schemes go on every day and no one seems to give a damn.

Scammers are truly the lowest of the low whatever the scheme they employ. Scamming the elderly, the poor, single moms on the bread line, and so on should carry far higher penalties. I am just not sure what the punishment should be, if only there was some way to make them have to walk in their victims' shoes. At the very least they should have to work for a decade in service to their victims in some way, prison is not punishment enough and doesn't help their victims./rant

I think...HOPE....something karma-wise screws up their devious lives and the taken be compensated in someway.
seems to me the mover and shakers in our world are more worried about a movie being downloaded that a senior sucked out of their saving for not being sharp anymore.

Why would you not just create a new account with an email you have access to?

thanks for your reply, i wanted to so the same thing, but in case something happens to recent purchases, and i was booted out of a mac forum for 2 accounts years ago.
i should try to bridge my account with them today or monday instead of typing about this.

Have you checked here? https://eshop.macsales.com/Service/ I've used their chat service although they might not be able to address your account information for security reasons. I've also called and emailed them. With COVID you might need to wait a bit longer.

Thank you, and
yes, i chatted with someone there, but they did not understand my original email was an @iwon.com and no longer accessible and insisted i had to use that one.
i waited and waited for over a week to get my account active, and even emails the owner Larry O'Connor twice, but nothing happened.
so i purchased over $150 worth of items for my macbook this May on Amazon instead.
i still need some more parts and feel comfortable using OWC. I have a external HD from them that will be 10 years old soon.

I could not update the macbook air 2010 running a mojave patch, but the OSX system seems fine.

DKhaley: can you restart the Ipad and start over?
there has to be a force restart were you push the home and vol button for a couple of seconds that someone posted online.
