TS2446 So I have an iphone and for some reason I don't know the password for my Apple ID so I can't download apps and I don't have the password to my email to change it and I don't know the secret questions , what can I do to make a new Apple ID ?

So I have an iphone and for some reason I don't know the password for my Apple ID so I can't download apps and I don't have the password to my email to change it and I don't know the secret questions , what can I do to make a new Apple ID ?

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • HT204053 I just got my new iPhone and I had a iPod that had about $40 on it and I can't remember the answer to my security questions and whenever I send the email it never comes. So I was wondering if there was any way that I could make a new apple I'd an

    I just got my new iphone and I gave my phone the same apple ID as my iPod. Then I added $40 to my iTunes thinking that I could buy songs freely. When I went to go buy an album it said that I needed to answer some security questions to complete the purchase. So I clicked yes and it brought me to two questions that I totally forgot the answers to so I hit the link that said if you forgot your answers click here. I clicked it and it brought me to this website that you see all your information about your apple ID. So I went to privacy and security and the same two questions were there. I tried and didn't succeed. I even sent myself the email and I have been trying this for days on end and still never received any emails about those questions. So I thought what if I create a new apple ID then mabe I could transfer ONLY the money over, is this possible??  Because I would hate to see forty dollars go to total waste.

    Funds cannot be transferred from one Apple ID account to another.

    G'day I can't download or update apps on my phone ( on computer is fine ). After entering password it shows downloading for a split second then goes back to being available. It's a new recent change & I can't see anything wrong with my settings on the phone

    Howdy Aussiebloke17,
    It might be worth attempting a restart of the iPhone, and then a reset, should that not resolve the issue.

  • Or some reason everytime i got to my membership for pet insurance it says wrong password the i go back to IE 11 and it lets me sign in with the same password...

    for some reason everytime i got to my membership for pet insurance it says wrong password then i go back to IE 11 and it lets me sign in with the same password...What gives..do I have to have 8 different browsers to get into certain accounts...lol...help

    Hi vikadelic,
    Do you store your passwords in the browser? If so, you may want to update them to make sure that they are trying to login with the right credentials: [[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]
    If that is not the case, it may be an old stored cookie: [[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer]]

  • Movieclip button keeps disappearing for some reason.

    I created our website using Actionscript 2.0 and on several of our pages there is a drop-down text box that has a "close" button on it, which is just a movieclip located inside the text box movieclip.  For some reason, if you stay on a page for a few minutes the close button disappears.  The hand still shows up when you hover over where it was at and you can still click on it, but it just turns invisible.  I'm not sure what's causing this.  Any suggestions?
    The website is:  www.klaesimage.com
    Thanks,
    Shaun

    My guess is that you have some kind of loop that adjusts the _alpha to brighten it up that is like this:
    myButton.onRollover=function(){
    this.onEnterFrame=function(){
    this._alpha+=10;
    And you don't have a conditional to say, "when alpha reaches 100 stop adding more."
    So what happes is that the alpha value goes about 100 and when it gets to something like 2^15 it wraps around and becomes an incredibly low negative number. If you wait another few minutes it should eventually get back to positive values!
    Of course the best bet would be to put in some conditionals to control that it doesn't go above/below 100/0.
    After watching it for a while longer I saw that it does cycle.  I'm not sure why because its alpha should just stay at 100 once it's on that frame, the dissolve up is from a motion tween where the entire contents of the text box go from 0 alpha to 100 alpha over 10 or so frames, but once there on the frame where it stops there shouldn't be any changes to the alpha.

  • I can't download apps from my iPhone keeps saying invalid adress

    Please help I can't download apps from my phone it keeps saying invalid adress but I checked my account and everything is correct I signed out and signed back in but nothing happened. I even turned my phone off and turned It back on but it still didn't work. I even typed in all my info all over again but it still says invalid adress

    it keeps saying invalid adress but I checked my account and everything is correct I signed out and signed back in but nothing happened.
    Do you currently have a credit card set up in your iTunes store Enter Payment Information screen?
    If so, grab a recent statement for that card and check to make sure that the address that shows up in your Enter Payment Information screenexactly matches the address showing on your credit card statement. For example, if your address in the credit card statement says "Street", the iTunes screen has to also say "Street" (Not St or Str.)
    Also make sure that your name in the iTunes screen exactly matches the one in your statement. (Say, if you've got a middle initial in the credit card statement name, you need one in the iTunes screen.)
    After doing that, does that get you past the invalid address thing?

  • I have a new email and am trying to change it in icloud. but it has locked me out and won't send my email a reset password link for some reason. even though it says its sent, it doesnt come to the email address

    i have a new email so have a new apple ID now and am trying to change it in icloud. but it has locked me out and won't send my email a reset password link for some reason. even though it says its sent, it doesnt come to the email address. help!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    You will need to show patience with the procedure and be prepared to demonstrate without question that the account belongs to you. Don’t expect access to be restored immediately and if you aren’t the owner of the Apple ID registered to the device the account won’t be reset.

    Reset your password. Be sure your new one meets the requirements for length (8) and characters (at least one upper case and one number).

  • My wife and I have separate AppleID accounts and always have. For some reason after she bought the iPhone 5c, whenever she tries to update her apps, it comes up for my AppleID and asks for my password. Please help on how to fix this!

    My wife and I have separate AppleID accounts. Ever since she updated to the iPhone 5c, for some reason when she tries to update her apps, it comes up with my AppleID and asks for my password.  I cannot figure out why this happening and how to fix this.  Please help!

    I have had this issue lately.
    I can only put it down to using the one computer to update all our IPads for me and my wife.
    Some of our apps, although downloaded from both our seperate accounts on our IPads, are the same.
    However after plugging her IPad into the computer when my AppleID is on ITunes, I think something strange has happened and when she then tries to update Apps on her IPad and I try on mine it now asks for the others Apple ID password.
    The only way I have found to counteract this is to update an app one at a time, if that app asks for your wifes password then delete it and then reinstall it.
    That has solved it for me.
    Hope this helps

  • My itunes account was disabled for some reason.  I changed password in iforgot and still didn't work.  I could log in but not make purchases from the store so I set up a new login/account .  Is there any way to move my music to the new account?

    My itunes account was disabled for some reason.  I changed password in iforgot and still didn't work.  I could log in and see my music but not make purchases from the store or even redeem an itunes gift card so I set up a new login/account with another email account of mine. On the new account I can redeem my gift card and download items onto my ipad2.  Is there any way to move my music to the new account?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
