Can't use my apple id account at all! Can't reset password either!!
I set up an acount from iPad for my family half year ago (it was a gmail)
the acount was set up for the Facetime on the iPad and it was working fine.
recently I upgrade the iPad to iOS5 and try to use the same account for the iCloud & facetime etc.
but was not able to login
I thought I forgot the password so I try to reset the password from apple's site (this page)
but I never get the reset email from apple
so I tried varify by answering question, it asked for birthday but the page told me my answer is not correct!! ? Not possible!!!! I know my birthday okay!?
then I tried to find out what my apple ID is by this page (link)
and it failed too!!!! it said "No Apple ID found"
and I think if the page told me this ID doesn't exist, then I can recreate this account using the same email, so I tried...
but it said this email is already used by other apple ID!!!!
what's happening??
I'm very sure my family use this account for facetime and it was working fine for the pass half year
how come I can't find any account information on apple's site
and can't receive any email from apple and can't reset pwd ...etc.
I don't know what I can do now~
I really don't want to create another new acount using other email if I can get this account back
any one can help??
please save my miserable life..........
tks
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

HT5622 Can I use two Apple ID account in one device. Are there irregularities
Can I use two Apple ID account in one device. Are there irregularities
You can use one ID for iTunes/iTunes Match, and another for iCloud, without any problems. You can add a secondary iCloud account in System Preferences (or Settings)>Mail, contacts and Calendars. Its data will appear alongside the main iCloud account though you cannot use PhotoStream with it.

Can I use one Apple ID/account on multiple devices?
My 2 kids have an iPod Touch 4th generation. I used my (parent) Apple ID to set one up. Can I use the same apple ID/account on the second iPod? Or do I have to create a new ID? The kids are not old enough to create their own Apple IDs.
You can have a maximum of ten devices associated with one Apple ID

I had an Apple ID which I used for iCloud. I upgraded the iCloud account and changed the apple ID to a @me address. Now I can't view what was in my original apple ID account. How can I get what was stored on the original account?

I am puzzled by this. The laptop doesn't need the Apple ID - but iTunes does. I could be missing something but ....
Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID? -

Adding existing apple id to an iCloud family share
I would like to add family members to my existing apple id that is used for my iCloud account. All of the family members already have existing apple ids. Can I make these existing apple ids part of my family? I have tried this, but "verifying" the apple id always fails with "existing family member" or an error something to the effect "unable to do at this time, try again later."
Thanks"am I still able to register another phone to the same ID?"
Yes.
") that I do end up creating a new apple ID "
This will cause complications. i do not recommend this. -

I can't use my apple account in my Iphone please help me a message appear said"This ID has not used in the iTunes Store"
Hello, BaraaBa.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like your Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Store. Here is an article that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.
Use your Apple ID with the iTunes Store
Open the latest version of iTunes.
Choose Store > Sign In.
Enter your Apple ID and password and click Sign In.
Click Review when asked to review your information.
Enter your billing information.
Click Continue after you enter your credit card and billing information. You can remove or edit your credit card information at any time. Learn more about updating your iTunes Store account information.
