The hotmail address i use for my apple ID was hacked and i no longer have access to it, this is stopping me from accessing any of my icloud or itunes. how can i fix this?

Thanks, I appreciate the help.  I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

  • My email used for my apple id was hacked and I had to give it up. How do I change my primary id? I can't use the one I had that was hacked.

    I have tried to update my id and I seem to be getting a second account because when I enter my current email, apple tells me that I already have an account. I also am told that emails for verification are sent to my hacked account that I cannot access so I cannot get my ipad mini registered. I feel like I have been going around in circles and am very frustrated.

  • I don't remember the email address I used for my apple ID

    I don't remember the email address I used for my apple ID. I got locked out of my iPod, cause I didn't remember the four-digit code.
    Now its asking me to enter the ID and password. I can't even remember the password either. I think I remember the questions/answers. I can't start over and get a new account.

    You say you have iOS 7 beta. If you are a developer you have access to the private OS 7 developer's forum

    my ipad 3 is dissconnected how can i fix it if i dont have a computer

    To my knowledge you can't; there are occasionally issues that arise that require plugging the devices into a computer to have iTunes resolve the problem. 
    Can you use a friend's computer (I recommend creating a new user account to do this just to prevent possible issues with their existing iTunes account, doesn't seem to be as much of a problem recenlty as it once was, but it's always better to avoid the possibility). 
    You might also find an Apple Store with someone there who is willing to help, or library/school with computers you can access for free in order to fix whatever is going on with the iPad.

    Hi psaffarzadeh,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    I can't tell from your post if you are working with a Mac or PC, so I'm including troubleshooting steps for both:
    iTunes: iPod not recognized in iTunes and Mac desktop

    iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes

  • HT5624 I am trying to update my apps, but the email address I used for my apple ID is no longer valid so i cant update,

    I have one apple id for app downloads, but when I try to update my apps it shows a different apple id. The email i used for this apple id is no longer valid so It doesnt let me update.

    Hello,
    1-If the apps you just downloaded before are free, you can delete them and install again (that will update).
    2-Some people use outlook now, so if you are refering to "hotmail" you can still using it. Just remember your password you had in that time, or renew it here https://iforgot.apple.com/iForgot/iForgot.html and go to outlook.com, that will show a folder in the sidebar called "POP" that's your previous e-mail.
    Cheers.

  • I use XP and Outlook version11. When I receive a link in an emai it takes me to Explorer, not Firefox. How can I fix this?

    Links to websites in emails take me to Windows Explorer, not Mozilla. Is this changeable and how?

    I think you meant to say, Links always take you into Internet Explorer, not Windows Explorer (that is the file manager, it is not a real browser). This is a Windows setting - Mozilla cannot make Outlook to behave, but Windows can. But first, open your Mozilla browser on any old website, and have Internet Explorer closed. Next, open Add or Remove Programs (it is opened from its item in Windows Control Panel - if the W.C.P. is not in your START-button menu, open the Control Panel via My Computer) and look for the left-side menu bar. Left-click on the icon marked "Set Program Access and Defaults." Left-click the "Custom" radiobutton, and it will show you the list of Defaults that Microsoft has already set for you, or maybe you will need to click on the little double-down arrow at upper right, to see the list. [Microsoft always has it set to Internet Explorer, for the browser.] You want to change that, so, if Mozilla or Firefox be shown here, select its radiobutton; if not shown, select the radiobutton for the "current Web browser." Leave the checkmark in the checkbox for Internet Explorer - you might need to run it in event Mozilla crashes or comes down with a virus - some time in the future. You can also review the other settings there, and fix them the way you want them. Happy browsing!

  • When I open firefox it works like normal for about 10-15 seconds and then it just closes. It doesn't give me any sort of error msg. How can I fix this?

    Firefox is closing without any sort of error msg. I open it and after 10-15 seconds it just closes. I don't know what's going on because it doesn't give me any msg. as to why it closed.

    These apperarances of the spinning wheel tend to be related to some io operation that takes too long. Maybe the finder is trying to reach a network server that became unavailable.
    I would try clearing caches and do an overall maintenance with an utility like OnyX.
    Also, trashing preferences does no harm and is often the first troubleshooting measure when FCP X misbehaves.

  • IPod Touch shows up on My Computer, but freezes iTunes, and does NOT show up on iTunes, how can i fix this?

    I have honestly spent countless hours trying to fix this, I FINALLY got it to show in My Computer, driver is updated, I have re-installed iTunes numerous times, recently did a FRESH Windows 7 Ultimate re-install, i can't restore the iPod (because it has been restored, and I can't even access it via iTunes) My iPod is NOT broken, it works on my laptop fine, it shows up on iTunes and My Computer, no problem. However, I need to use my iPod on my main computer for songs (iPod's practically new by the way) Like my question states, my iTunes freezes up, and it's very strange because it freezes, then a couple minutes later iTunes works fine, BUT my iPod doesn't show up on the side like it's supposed to. I've done everything, I hope I get some good support, thanks in advance!

    Edit: I have the latest update for the driver, and iTunes, iPod has 4.3.3
