Changing iCloud username in iOS devices

The iPadre Catholic Podcast Posted on by  

Recently, my mother’s eMail address change. I updated her user id on Apples website. However, we ran into a snag with changing her id on her iPad and iPhone. I tried deleting the id in her iPad, but it would not accept her password. If your having the same problem, I finally found the answer.

  1. Go into your iOS device (iPad, iPhone, or whatever else it may be) “Settings”. Turn off all of your iCloud syncing. One that you will not be able to turn off is “Find my iPad (iPhone, etc…)”. Be sure to save your contacts, calendars, … to you iOS device.

  2. Open iTunes on your computer. Under “Quick Links” select “Account”. Once you log in, you will see the following window. To the right of your “Apple ID”, select “Edit”. Change your eMail address back to your old address and click “Done”.
    itunes_store
  3. Go back into your iOS device. Open “Settings”, “iCloud”. Click on “Delete Account” at the bottom. Be sure to select “Accept”.

  4. Go back into iTunes Account settings and put in your new username again.
  5. Finally, go back into your iOS device and put in your new iCloud account user id.

That should fix your problem!

 

The fire is building

The iPadre Catholic Podcast Posted on by  

In the first reading from today’s Mass, King Nebuchadnezzar ordered Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego thrown into the “white hot” furnace, for not worship in golden calf. This is a beautiful story of three courageous men, who preferred death to betrayal of the God of Israel. There are many similar stories throughout the Old Testament, New Testament and all of salvation history. Men, women and children have continuously given their live, rather than offend the one true God.

Secular humanists are once again building the fire within the furnace. They are building up their false gods. The gods of sexual perversion and anti-life demons are once again looking for faithful souls to be offered on their altars.

The fire is being prepared for faithful believers and will consume everyone who resists the evil king’s desires. Who is the evil king you ask? We he is the evil one and all his legions who have spread their perversion throughout the past century. He believe he is winning, and to those who don’t have yes to see, he is.

In the past few weeks, we have seen his latest victims. Mozilla’s CEO was forced to step down for supporting anti-gay marriage legislation. Sr. Jane Dominic is facing the wrath of human opinion for faithfully presenting the Church’s teaching on life and human sexuality. And now, a court in Ontario rules that Catholic high schools cannot force students to attend Mass.

Where do you stand? Are you willing to go into the fire with faithful men and women throughout the ages or will you give Jesus a token kiss on the cheek? The fire is burning and only those who stand strong will remain standing with Christ!

IMPORTANT: THREE major Catholic media sources publish SAME response to Card. Kasper!

The iPadre Catholic Podcast Posted on by  

Something highly unusual and highly important happened today.

An opinion piece, the same opinion piece, was published simultaneously in three media outlets, the UK’s best Catholic weekly The Catholic Herald, the National Catholic Register, and ZENIT. Two print and one internet only.  One UK, one US, one “neutral”.  The National catholic Reporter, no… The Tablet, no. Shut out.

I don’t remember anything like this.

The fact of simultaneous release, in “competing” outlets, suggests to me some seriously well-played organization.  In other words: somebody important wants what Prof. Rist has to say to be read and absorbed and circulated.

Prayer for Flight 370

The iPadre Catholic Podcast Posted on by  
St. Anthony, patron of lost objects

St. Anthony of Padua

So many human means have been in search of Flight 370. At times there have been sightings and little signs of hope, yet nothing has yet been found. There is one saint who has found many things for me, and if we all seek his aid, he will come through for the good of all involved. Please join in this prayer for Flight 370 and all involved.

Saint Anthony, perfect imitator of Jesus, who received from God the special power of restoring lost things, grant that we may find Flight 370 which has been lost. As least restore to the passengers families, and all of us peace and tranquility of mind, the loss of so many souls which has afflicted us even more than  material loss.

To this favor we ask another of you: that we may always remain in possession of the true good that is God. Let us rather lose all things than lose God, our supreme good. Let us never suffer the loss of our greatest treasure, eternal life with God. Amen.

Hope for the future

We all tend to see so much bad going on in the world and how empty our churches have become, but here is a little light in the darkness.

On Friday night Matthew and Mark served Stations of the Cross. On their way home they told their dad that they can’t wait to serve the Traditional Latin Mass.

Today was also Tommy’s 10th birthday. He is my music director’s son. Tommy talks about becoming a priest. He’s holding my gift. Just a little way to encourage vocations. Fran said: “You should have seen him light up when he opened it.” Tommy probably serves more Masses at Holy Ghost than any one. Happy Birthday buddy!

Ten Lenten app suggestions

10 App Suggestions for Lent

We are often bogged down by technology. The social communication websites we all follow, piles of eMail we have to sort through each day, blogs we follow and the games we play can be a little overwhelming at times and sometimes very distracting. So, why not use the technology you have at hand to help you make this a better Lent. Here are my ten app suggestions for your mobile devices. Most of these apps are available in iOS and Android. I have given the link to the iOS and to the app’s websites. These are just a few of the apps that are on my iPhone and iPad. If you try them out, let me know and have a grace filled Lent!

1. Divine Office – If you pray the Divine Office on a regular basis, or don’t know where to begin, this app will be a great help. It is well laid out. If your tired from your day’s business, you can sit back and listen to it being prayed for you (unless your required to pray it yourself).

iOS App | Apps website | ($14.99)

2. Divine Mercy – This app comes from the Marians of the Immaculate Conception. They have an app that is packed with goodies – information about St. Fausting, Mercy Popes, excerpts from the Diary, a Timeline, Resources and of course, you have the Divine Mercy Devotions.

iOS App | App website | (Free)

3. Mass Explained – This is like an encyclopedia of the Mass. It is packed tight with great information, audio, video and really beautiful graphics. You can go wrong with this app!

iOS App | App website | ($24.99)

4. Confession – No, you can’t make your Confession on an iPad, but you can prepare to make a good Confession using an app. It’s Lent, go to Confession!

iOS App | App website | ($1.99)

5. iPieta – Here is another awesome app. This app is bursting at the seams with prayers, catechisms, writings of saints, Catholic Bible Commentaries and more. You can also download audio to much of the content and read it in English, Latin or have the two side by side.

iOS App | App website | ($3.00)

6. The Pope App – It’s just what it says. You can get the latest news, view the latest events and view live Papal events and more. This app is everything Pope Francis.

iOS App | App website (Free)

7. Consecration – If you haven’t made total Consecration to Jesus, through Mary, this is the app for you. All of the prayers are at your fingertips and your can turn on a daily reminder.

iOS | App website | (Free)

8. Logos Bible – This is just the basic, with some free resources, but you can add on many Catholic study aids to this app and get a full blown application for your computer. I use the desktop version for homily and talk preparation. It’s a really great resource.

iOS | App website | (Free)

9. iMissal – Readings and prayers for the Roman Catholic Mass in the Ordinary Form, all with the new translation.

iOS | App website | ($4.99)

10. iPadre – Yes, this is the app for my podcast. You can download and listen to over 315 episodes of the iPadre Catholic Podcast. You can also send in feedback directly from the app, share episodes, follow the show note links and on occasion, as time permits, I have Show Extras.
