3 letter email address no longer valid??

I have been unable to get my email address back ever since my latest BB device upgrade to a Bold 9900. I wanted to switch my bb email address which is [email protected] (note that those x's represent 3 letters.) When I called my carrier to ask them to connect that email address to my current PIN they said they are unable to do so, as they are getting error messages that emails must have a minimum of 4 characters, and that I must take my concerns to blackberry support. Talk about passing the buck, but I guess I will give it a try. Is there anyway I can get my email back or is it history?
Thanks!

Hey galleon,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Can you send me a private message with the email address you want and the PIN number so I can investigate?

Forgot itunes password and email address no longer valid

I'm trying up download apps on my iPad and I have 3 problems:-
1. the default email address on iTunes no longer exists (was my husbands old email)
2. I don't know the password
3. When I select security questions and put in my birth details it says they aren't valid either
Any suggestions please?
I have another apple ID but It always defaults to the one that isn't valid, is there a way of changing the default ID to my own?
Thanks

Is it not the case that if you reset to factory settings then you won't be able to retrieve the apps you've already paid for which are assigned to the old password
I have this exact same problem

App World Password - Original email address no longer valid

When originally setting up my Blackberry ID, I used my corporate email address.
Since then, I have changed employers.
Now I cannot recall the password and all the password prompts/resets are sent to the email address that does not exist anymore.
What do I do to fix this problem?

How do I remove an email address that is no longer vaild for the iTunes Store or my iPhone? A really old email address keeps popping up on my iPhone, the email address is not valid and I have no idea what the password was. It's been over two years.

Hello tcnolen1,
It sounds like you are trying to change the Apple ID logged into the iTunes & App Stores on your iPhone. Use these steps:
Changing your Apple ID account
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores, then tap the Apple ID signed in.
Sign out of the current Apple ID account and then sign in with another account or create a new Apple ID.
You can find the full article here:

Delete the iCloud account associated with an old email address no longer in use...Help!

I am trying to delete the iCloud account on my iPhone that is associated with an old email address no longer in use, so I can set it up with my new email address. I am unable to delete the account until I turn off "Find my iPHone" which it won't let me do unless I log in under the old email address..... Problem is, I don't remember the password for the old address/account. It is no longer functional so I cannot request a reminder. I've already updated my iTunes/Apple ID with my new email address. I'm stuck!! Help!

You remember the answers to the security questions or you call Apple, talk to someone in account security, and prove to them that you own the account.

I changed my email address and now cannot play items purchased with previous email. This only became a problem after I got a new computer. The original email address no longer even exists. How can I access these hundreds of items?

I changed my email address a few years ago. I did not have any problems after this change until I got a new computer. Now I cannot play items that were purchased under the previous email. I entered the password that I used and it doesn't recognize it. I tried "forgot your password" in every combination possible. I never received any emails at the old email address. Now the old email address no longer even exists. How can I access these hundreds of items?

The old email address may well still be valid as your iTunes AppleID, however if you have no other email associated with that ID you clearly won't get any automated emails to it.
I still use an old defunct email for my iTunes AppleID.

Use the original email address and password.

HT5312 how do you reset your security questions when the rescue email address no longer exists?

how do you reset your security questions when the rescue email address no longer exists?

Didn't the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article work for you? If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, only Apple itself can reset the questions.

HT5312 i don't remember the answers to the security questions, and my rescue email is no longer valid.

I got the new iPhone 5, and all is well, but when I wanted to download a new app, I got a message asking me for the answers to my security questions. I don't even recognize the questions, let alone know the answers. My rescue email is no longer valid, so how do I continue using my ID?

Check the AppleCare number for your country here:

Call them up, and let them know you would like to be transferred to the Account Security Team.

How do I delete an ICloud acct on IPhone when the old email address no longer exists?

I changed my Apple ID password due to a phishing email and it started a downward spiral of issues. My original ICloud email address no longer exists. I have tried to sign out/in in itunes that worked but I cannot delete the ICloud account because the field is not editable for apple ID. I tried setting it back to the old email address to turn off Find my IPhone but it will nopt allow because the email address cannot be verified because it no longer exists.

To Delete an iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. You should then be able to delete the old account. When done, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.

How do I disable a previous apple ID where the email is no longer valid and it has my incorrect birthday?

How do I disable my old apple ID where I have 1) forgotten the password, 2) the email is no longer valid (so they can't send me my password) and 3) it has my incorrect birthday (so I can't answer the security question to have them send me a new password)?
Also, I set up a new apple ID on my iphone, but it won't accept my itunes card. It says I need to complete all the information highlighted in red. However, there is no information highlighted in red. It seems to want me to put in a credit card. Is there any way around this?

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPhone forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.
 Cheers, Tom

IP address no longer valid on 8520 Curve

Recently bought a Curve 8520. Great shape; however, I have a problem with the Wi-Fi connection. The phone connects to my home router just fine. I cannot use the browser to access the internet. I checked all the settings.
The Data Service is "ON"
While Roaming is "ON"
Took out the battery to restart
Wiped the phone from "security settings"
Used the BB CD to check for updates on the OS.
I have tried ALL suggestions that have been posted on this web site - nothing works. When doing the Diagnostics, I continue to get the "IP address NO LONGER VALID"
Any suggestions????

Dear Linda
Please tell me that when you try to connect to the wifi what does it says i mean any error or somthing.
Ther is another case that many wifi users have secured their wifi from unauthorized access.
Is there somthing like this porblem with you?
Waiting for your kind response

Have Wi-Fi connection but no IP address (Status: IP address no longer valid)

Dear experts,
I can connect my Pearl 9100 to my home Wi-Fi network but I cannot connect to the internet. For example, when I run the the Browser I get the message "Unable to connet to the Internet..." .
I can see on my router that Pearl has been assigned an IP address vi DHCP (just as one would expect).
From "Manage Connections / Wi-Fi Options / from Saved Wi-Fi Profiles I select my profile / Wi-Fi Tools / Wi-Fi Diagnostics" I see that "Local IP Adress:" is blank and this "Status: IP address no longer valid"
I deduce that something is wrong on the Pearl because it is not accepting the TCP/IP configuration served to it by my DHCP server (my wireless router).
Does anyone have any recommendations to help me fix this?
Here are some other details to consider:
All other wireless devices work on my home Wi-Fi network including a Blackberry Bold 9780 running OS 6.
My Pearl 9100 has OS v.5.0.0.748. This is an OS updated from Blackberry specific to my carrier (Bell) from the OS 5.0.0.604 which came on the device.
I do not have a data plan on my Blackberry (you may think this strange, but hey, that's the way I want it). The Bold 9780 that did connect to my home Wi-Fi network did not have a data plan either. The absence of a data plan should not be a problem because all I need connection to the Internet for is the occassional use of the Browser when Wi-Fi is available.
Thank you in advance for any tips, tricks or pointers.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hey - I found the solution:
Options / Mobile Network / Data Services - change from "OFF" to "ON"
I guess I was mistaken in thinking that "Data Services" only needed to be turned on if you have a Data Plan.
Maybe this will help others...
