I changed my rescue ID and want to use my former rescue ID as my new apple ID, but it won't let me as it still says that email is my resuce ID, even though the new rescue ID email has been verified! Help!

My apple ID is associated with an old email I never use. My current email was set as my rescue email, so I could not make that my new Apple ID. I have changed my rescue email to another email address and verified it, but when I now try to update my apple ID it still says I cannot use that email address becuase it's my rescue email address, even though it is not. HELP!

That usually means it's associated with another ID or used somewhere else.
The following article(s) may help you.

  • I created new apple id but can't sign in to itunes. It says that your id is not yet loged in so you have to review. In revies it shows payment method in which I provide full info of my visa card but it shows that the pin is incorrect

    Hi there,
         I created new apple id but can't sign in to itunes. It says that your id is not yet loged in so you have to review. In revies it shows payment method in which I provide full info of my visa card but it shows that the pin is incorrect although the pin is correct. If I try another card no then it shows that your payment method is declined. What should I do?????

    Is it asking for a PIN (for a debit card) or the three-digit number on the back of the card (for a credit card)?

  • I had to create a new Apple ID but it won't let me update apps because my old account keeps showing up how do I stop that

    I had to create a new Apple ID but it won't let me update apps it keeps showing my old account how do I stop that from happening

    Apps are always associated with the AppleID that purchased them, you cannot use another AppleID with them,
    So in order to update them you must use the credentials that were used to purchase them.
    You can chnge the details (Name and Primary email) for an AppleID instead of creating a new one.

  • TS1398 im having real problems connecting to my home wifi, it keeps coming up saying unable to join even though the password is correct, this has been ever since i updated software to ios6

    Im having real problems connecting to my home wifi from my i phone 4s, it just keeps saying unable to join even though the password is correct,
    I have tried resetting my network settings but to no avail,
    yesterday I reset all settings then it actually worked, however today the problem started again so I repeated the reset but it still isn't working
    This has only started happening since i upgraded software to ios6
    Please help

    Here is what I would do:
    Shutdown all computers connected to the router.
    Power off the router.
    Power off the modem (cable or DSL).
    Wait 30 seconds.
    Power on the modem. Ensure all lights are lit and the modem is online.
    Power on the router. Ensure it's communicating to the modem.
    Turn on your Macbook Pro first (the one experiencing the issue. Check it's connection. If it's still having issues, removed the networks it can attach to, turn off WiFi; then turn WiFi back on and reconnect to your WiFi network.
    Turn on other Macs in household. Check their connections.
    Sometimes "rebooting" the modem and router fixes connectivity issues.

  • Yosemite still saying that I need to download it even though I've installed it twice

    I just bought my Macbook Air yesterday, and I was told to update the software. In "Purchases" it still says that I need to download Yosemite after I've already installed it twice. When I click on "About this Mac," it says I'm running Yosemite. I don't understand why I need to download it again and again.

    You do not need to download again if About This Mac shows you are running Yosemite.
    What the App Store, Purchases is showing you is that Yosemite is available for download, not that you need to do so.  You can just ignore that button.

  • I just bought a new Motorola modem. Do I need to reconfigure my Airport Express? For some reason we have WiFi even though the amber light is blinking.

    I just bought a new Motorola modem. Do I need to reconfigure my Airport Express? For some reason we have WiFi even though the amber light is blinking.

    Typically, when changing out networking hardware, it is always a good idea to perform a complete power reset of all of your networking equipment.
    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
    Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
    Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

    If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.

  • HT204053 I changed my apple ID, but it won't let me change the ID for icloud on my iPhone. How do I change it?

    I changed my apple ID, but it won't let me change the ID for icloud on my iPhone. How do I change it?

    You have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated credentials.  This deletes the account and your synced data from your phone, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a different account, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
