I don't know of there is anyone than can fix this age old Apple problem.   Does anyone know how to retrieve apps under an old Apple ID when the email used for that account no longer exists & I can't remember the password? After speaking with Apple Acct. Security, I got the security Q right but my birthday was wrong! They wanted the serial number from my phone that was 3 iPhones ago! Seriously??!!
Any updated way to work around this? No Apple people can correct it.
Thanks,
Joe

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

    I can't access the account because your system doesn't recognize the last password -- and it won't let me change the password because it says the birthday information is wrong -- it's not.  There is no help item for that either, so somebody PLEASE tell me how to get around this problem.  My music is being held hostage.

    B-rock, thanks for posting the above.  I actually have the same issue, running Windows XP and I don't have that backup location, \Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\.  When I go to Documents and Settings\(username)\ there's a AppData folder followed by:\LocalLow\DataMngr\ .
    I have the latest update, 5.0.1 and I have the iPod Touch 3rd gen.
    I have tried removing itunes and all that is associated with it then reinstalling and keep getting the same message.  I've reset my ipod thinking that would help but still, no backup.
    In iTunes, Edit, Preference, Device there are no backups.
    What am I doing wrong, can you help? 
    Thank you!

    it has worked fine no problems till i updated it i tried restoring itwith my old backup but it doesnt move the ios back so it just keeps on craching when i try to unlock it

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • HT1414 is there another way i can fix this problem without having to restore my phone?

    my wifi settings is faded out so i cannot turn the wifi on. i followed the steps that this website said to do so it could get fixed but it didn't work.  then thet said i would have to restore my phone and i can't do that. is there another way i can fix this problem without having to restore my phone?

    No.
    A restore might not even fix it; a fair amount of the time, when the Wi-Fi is grayed out it is a hardware issue.

    I have the same problem.  Yahoo Sportacular aborts every time I try to open it.  It attempts to load and then the device goes right back to the home screen.  The problem started April 26 after I switched leagues from NHL to NBA. Closing all apps and Restarting doesn't solve solve the problem.
    All other apps on the iPad work fine.  IPad2, OS6.
    Any other suggestions?  I suppose I could delete the app from the iPad and try re-installing it

    My iPod wont take a charge. I have tried multiple chargers and each brings me the same outcome.when I plug in the iPod while it is on it comes up charging is not supported with this accessory,when I plug it in while it is off it charges for a while then automatically turns on and won't charge.Is there anyway I can fix this problem?

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. ( do no know what yo meant by "charger", cable or charging source)
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • $100 Reward for anyone who can fix this issue

    I will give $100 to the first person who can fix the false empty cartridge issue described here:
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-printing-questions/Ink-cartridge-empty-but-it-s-not/m-p/176836
    The fix must eliminate the false error message that a cartridge is empty and enable the printer to resume printing. 
    As you can see in the link, people have struggled with this problem for years and no consistent fix has been discovered.  I am hoping that a smart person out there can find the cause of this problem and a solution for it. 
    I suspect that a file or registry entry must be set that indicates a false empty cartridge.  This false entry is retained even when a new cartridge is installed, or the printer software is removed and reinstalled.
    Even though many people have worked on this issue over the years, there still may be a creative solution out there.  Let's hear it and if it works you get the money.

    Hi,
    Reward not required nor needed...
    But... I didn't see a post in your link about using a newly created utility by hp.  I don't know if there is a fix in the utility although it has fixed some other printer issues... something that could be tried.

  • Since latest Thunderbolt Firmware update, most of my third party programs no longer work, is there a way I can fix this?

    Since the latest update, most of my third party apps no longer work, none of my photo software, torrent programs, open office, NOTHING!! It is most frustrating - is there a way to 'downgrade' and go back to a previous version of the firmware, or am I just stuck with no apps that work?

    They just don't open, and i get an error message like this:

    how do i delete an itunes acount so I can use the amail for another account?

    Maybe he's referring to renaming another iTunes Store account after making the email address null and available to be used. Otherwise, I agree with you that it is pointless.
