How to Change the Password in Mac Mail

Change your email account password on the mail server. For most Web-based email services, like Gmail or Outlook.com, you can do this online by logging in to your account and changing the password for your profile. If you use iCloud email, its password is the same as your Apple ID, so log in to the Apple ID website (see Resources) and follow the onscreen instructions to change your Apple ID password. If it's an email account at work, contact your network administrator for guidance.
Launch the Mail app on your Mac computer. Mail asks you to enter your new password as soon as it tries to connect with the mail server. Enter the new password as prompted and click 'OK.' In most cases, this is all you have do do.
Click the 'Mail' menu and select 'Preferences' if you accidentally hit 'Cancel' when changing your password or if you disabled the account in Mail. Click the 'Accounts' icon, select the email account you want to change and then click the 'Account Information' tab. Delete the dots in the Password field and enter the new password. Click the red 'Close' button in the upper-right corner. The new password is saved automatically.

How to Replace Missing Keys on a Mac Laptop Keyboard

Note the model of your laptop to get the appropriate keys. Powerbooks, for example, have a variety of models, including the Wallstreet, Lombard and Pismo, the older black models. When the Powerbook changed to a silver color, the models included the Titanium---which has a black keyboard---and Aluminum.
Find a website that sells individual keys (see Resources) or eBay and order the appropriate keys.
Remove bad keys if they still are attached to the keyboard. All the keys are snapped into place, so just pull a key up to remove it. It will unsnap from what Apple calls the scissor or plunger. If the scissor is intact, but the key is missing, a new key will snap on over the scissor by pushing it down until it clicks.
Make sure your support scissors are still intact, as you will need them to place your key. Most individual keys come with the scissor part, so you can replace it at the same time as the key. Push each side of the scissor under the metal hook, one at a time. The scissor halves will then extend upward on either side. Whether you are replacing an old key or placing a new one, the scissors must be hooked into the old supports already found in the keyboard base. Use tweezers to steady the support scissor and connect it to the already-in-place scissor on the Mac keyboard.
Push the key down gently but firmly until it snaps into place.

How to Transfer iTunes to a Laptop (5 Steps)

Plug your iPod into your old computer and ensure that all of the music from iTunes on that computer has been successfully transferred to your iPod. If you plug in your iPod regularly, this synchronization process should only take a few moments. When the synchronization is complete, unplug your iPod from this computer.
Install iTunes on your new laptop if you do not already have it. Do this by going to the Apple website (see Resources), clicking on the 'Download iTunes' link and following the prompts. Open iTunes once the installation is complete.
Plug your iPod with all the songs you want to transfer into the laptop onto which you want to transfer them. This will prompt iTunes to open a window with three options: 'Cancel,' 'Erase and Sync' (which erases all the songs on your iPod that are not on your laptop and then synchronizes your iPod to the laptop) and 'Transfer Purchases.' This last option transfers all the authorized iTunes purchases on your iPod to the new computer.
Click on 'Transfer Purchases.' This will open a new window asking you whether you want to 'authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes store.' Click 'Authorize.' Next, iTunes will prompt you to log in with your Apple ID and password. Click 'Authorize' again when you have done this.
Click the 'OK' button on the window that appears telling you how many computers you have authorized with this account (out of a limit of five). This will prompt the transfer from your iPod to your new laptop to begin.
