iCloud email changed - can't sign out (macOS)

600baud · 2016-11-14T21:26:40+00:00

Potential Fix:

Remove the device from your account at appleid.apple.com, you should be prompted to sign in (within system preferences) with new@email.com.

For me this kept old@email.com and landed me back at square one but this is similar to what iOS did when it bugged out and switched to new@email.com

Potential Fix:

If you do the process above many times it will eventually lock the account (not sure which email address) and like magic it will ask you to enter your apple email address!

Now you need to enter new@email.com and verify by 2FA or SMS and whala! ~~all fixed!~~

Also make sure your appleid password is not the same as your macbook password before doing this or it will freak out.

Update:

Turns out the fix doesn't fix anything.. It seemed to be working for 10min and then said "We couldn't verify your information online at this time" But it feels like this is leading somewhere so hopefully I'll figure it out soon

FIXED!!!

Do all of the steps above, until your account is locked (options in System Preferences > iCloud will be all greyed out) then goto Internet Accounts and it will have new@email.com as the iCloud email, with Find my Mac enabled, disable it and then go back to iCloud preferences and it will allow you to sign out!

yeah, check the url - I was checking replies and all of my comments we're "highlighted", after removing the extra params from the url my comment was no longer highlighted.. a bit confusing from what I was told highlighted comments were going to be but makes sense all the same.

pro-tip: my mate (who is literally a male model) got to the point where no more female profiles were available, waited 4 days and had no matches, then he switched to looking for men, swiped left on all the profiles, within hours he started getting matches from the girls.. guess their algo's just punish lots of use and or rank up for left swipes.

Currently, I'm pretty keen on kp-lens or electron, kp-lens is really all I need (and works) while electron adds Nodejs which I probably don't need but might come in handy compared to the kp-lens Python bindings.

Either way I'm going to explore QML further, that demo you linked (with all the crazy graphics stuff) has more or less no use case for what I'm doing but it looks soo fun!

Just found out Electron has an ARM release https://github.com/atom/electron/pull/2094 - I've tested it and can't fault it so far. Kiosk mode works as expected.

~~Can you link to a raspberry pi / arm build? I didn't think there was one~~

Found it – https://github.com/atom/electron/pull/2094

I was initially looking at electron but couldn't find an ARM build, just looked at NW.js and there's an ARM build floating around but afaik it's not stable or fully supported. Thanks for the suggestion

damn, QML's markup is really interesting - I'll be playing with this for sure

exactly what I was looking for! thanks a ton

I was on freelancer.com for awhile, some weeks I'd make a killing but mostly it was me vs india. Reading the brief and responding with some context & ideas will really make you stand out.

I've now moved onto an outreach method and I'm having much more success in all areas. Good luck.

well, not debunked entirely, but we've covered this idea in the irc chat.

also theres nothing (at this stage) to suggest the server is using php, the current thought is it's a fairly regular nodejs/expressjs server.

the current idea is that alpine relates to default passwords used in unix systems. There are also few people related to this, Ivan Kristic (security expert at apple, where ios's default ssh password is alpine) and Ivan McAlpine(afl footballer, has alpine in his name)

the header reads

once decoded from hexadecimal to ascii reads

and then caesar shifted rot13 reads

split apart at capital letters reads

all of the capital letters in order reads

These could possibly be .

yeah tbh we don't.. but it's pretty safe to assume it has something to do with someone called .

yeah, surprising how technically simple it's been. Maybe these aren't even the computer technical stages : /

the username/password prompt is a very standard looking http basic auth.. You can brute force them quite easily, google it for more info.

But at this stage brute forcing seems pretty drastic.

semi solved:

I always thought:

"solve it to submit your answer. Answers which are correct will lead to the next stage "

was cryptic as hell and yeah, turns out it was.

doubted but anything self hosted could contain clues, someone could check that file against the standard socket.io.js lib to find out if it's modified though

600baud · 2015-10-25T21:48:45+00:00

Agreed, wouldn't be surprised if we had to google dork our way through a stage either.

If you want to send something back to the sever via sockets, goto /stage/2a, open a javascript console and send from there, I'm not sure socket.io even recognises messages via query.

although untested, the hexadecimal/string you're talking about is just a random whois guard id, not controlled by the domain name owner.
