  • I can't remember the password I used to set up icloud nor the email I used to set it up with. I have my apple ID and email for that account.

    I recently had to do a factory restore on my iphone 4s. Upon trying to set up my phone again I am being asked to sign into my icloud account. I can't remember the password or the email I used to set it up. I know my Apple ID, password and email for that account, but that doesn't allow me to get back into my phone. I can't reset the icloud password because I can't remember the email I used. Any ideas on what I can do please ?

    Hi, Fugalltadowivu.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    This sounds like Activation Lock has been enabled on this device.  Here is some helpful information regarding this feature.

  • Apple ID and PSW, or iCloud account hacked?

    2 times over the past 2 days I have made a change to 2 different contacts in my iPhone 3GS. On both occasions I was prompted to provide the PSW for a different account name that is similar to mine, neither of which belong to me. Has someone hacked my Apple ID and PSW, or my iCloud data?

    Ok.  Found something that said to shut down and hold the option, command, p, and r keys on restart.  Held them down for a few restarts and everything automatically signed in and works.  Woohoo!!!

    There is a new security feature in iOS 7 called Activation Lock. Any time
    an iPhone with iOs 7 is reset or restored, the AppleID and password that
    was used to set it up must be entered. If you do not remember that information
    or bought the iPhone secondhand and cannot find the original owner, the iPhone
    will be useless.
    There is no workaround to Activation Lock.

  • Apple id and nickname on iTunes account

    Hello,
    In my old Apple ID / iTunes account I can edit my "nickname" so my whole name doesn't appear on reviews etc.
    However, I can't do this on my current account (both are me.com accounts / Apple IDs).
    Is there a reason for this ?

  • I have 2 Apple ids and two corresponding iCloud accounts. My five Apple devices are linked to one or the other. As one consequence a small number of my contacts are associated with one iCloud account, the majority with the other. How can I merge?

    For reasons not entirely clear to me I have ended up with two Apple ids, two iCloud accounts and my Apple devices being associated with one or the other iCloud account/Apple id. One of the complications is that my contacts are partially owned by one iCloud account, partially by the other.
    Is there any way to
    - merge the contacts (I have tried exporting from one and importing into the other but one set will overwrite the other)?
    - migrate all devices to one single iCloud account without being locked out for 3 months?
    - merge Apple ids or just delete one of them without locking out devices?
    Grateful for any suggestions because this is turning into a headache.

    You can merge the contacts from one account with your other one without overwriting them.  Sign into the first account, download them as vCard (iCloud: Export contact information as a vCard), email them to a device signed into the account you want to merge them with, tap the vCard and choose Add..., then Create New Contacts.
    You can also migrate a copy of the data in one account and merge it with the other by signing into the account you are leaving, then signing out (or deleting the account if not running iOS 8), then choosing Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Then sign into the other account and choose Merge when prompted.  This won't move Notes however.  If you are syncing notes that you want to migrate from the other account, you can temporarily add the account to your Mac as a secondary account by going to System Preferences>Internet Accounts (or Mail,Contacts,Calendars)>Add Account>iCloud and signing in with the other account ID.  Then enable notes syncing in the secondary account.  You will then be able to open the notes app and drag and drop notes from one account to the other.  When you're done, delete the secondary account from your Mac.
    You can't merge IDs as Apple does not allow it.  Also, you won't be locked out of anything for 3 months.  The "90-day switch" rule only applies to changing your iTunes store account, not your iCloud account.  Just leave your iTunes store account as-is.  The ID you use for the iTunes store does not have to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.

  • Apple TV and BT Fon (Fon account). How to make it works?

    Question for UK users: I've bought Apple TV yesterday and I'm not getting to connect my Fon account (BT Fon) to use it. Although Apple TV says I'm connected, no password to the network is required. Final result: I'm not getting to use my connection through BT Fon. Any suggestions to sort it?

    Hi SolidSilver,
    That's a different way of doing things.
    He has led you through this
    http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/BT/Voyager205/iChat.htm
    but has gone for DMZ rather than the 23 ports that need to be set up. (the pics only show port 5190 and you need more to AV chat)
    If you do fancy the tinkering to get the 205 to be a Firewall as well you have to follow the page to set up port 5190 fo both TCP and UDP
    Next you need to do the other 22 ports on UDP
    They have to be entered one at a time in the 205 so it is time consuming.
    5060
    5678
    16384
    16385
    16386...
    and the others in between
    ....16402
    16403
    The above form your post and this will only work if your computer always gets the smae IP address from the 205 each time it is turned on.
    If you have any connection problems check the System Preferences > Network for your current IP and see if that is where the 205 is send ing the data and amend as required.

  • HT4436 How to set up iPhone with apple id and a different iCloud account

    Hi I am trying to set up my husbands iPhone so that we can both use my iTunes but he has a different I cloud as we don't want each others contacts etc
    How I'd I do this.

    If your computers are going to say behind the router all the time, then you do not need a firewall, as the router is your firewall.

  • I bought my iPhone from apple, had ATT, then changed to Verizon.  Shouldn't I be able to unlock it from Verizon and use the same phone on an ATT account?

    i bought my iphone 4S from apple while i had an att account, then changed to verizon with the same phone.
    verizon said they unlocked the phone from their network so i could return to att, but the iphone 4S won't recognize the att sim card.
    is there anything i can do to use this apple store phone purchase and return to an att network?

    Thank you.
    I'm a little muddy tho...it's not a verizon phone,
    not bought from or through Verizon, but at the Apple store.
    Does that make any differerence?
    On the original box, it says that it supports CDMS & GSM
    I spoke with Verizon this morning. 
    They re-activated the phone to the verizon account,
    unlocked it, and released it.
    Should this make any difference at all?
    My thinking to purchase the iphone through Apple
    was not to dedicate it to either ATT or Verizon network.

  • New IMAP account won't appear on Apple Mail and yet wipes server

    I have a problem with Apple Mail and a new IMAP account I've created.
    I have one IMAP account (mail@*.com) which works fine and then recently I created a second IMAP account on that same server (property@*.com). I copied the details from the server to Apple Mail and yet as soon as I set up the account on Apple Mail then the test mails I send vanish from the server and do not show up in Apple Mail. When I remove that account on my Apple Mail then I can send messages to via webmail which show up on the server again.
    Similarly when I use Thunderbird as my mail client then the property@*.com IMAP mail shows up fine.
    Is there some conflict with having two IMAP accounts from the same server? is there any way I can get round that - set up an alias to have my property mail hived off to a different account / or even folder?
    I would appreciate help... although I notice that 4 out of 5 of my last posts didn't get answered...

    It's a bad idea to post your email addresses - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Moderators to remove them.
