Apple ID already set up, but not getting email to reset

Trying to set up apple IDs for my boys, but the website says their email address have already been used. I hit the send the reset my password by email, but got no email. Anyone familiar with this issue?

Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...sign back in with the ID you want to use.
Note: Any & all apps obtained with your old ID are forever tied to that ID & can only be updated using that ID. Apps cannot be transferred to another Apple ID.

ICloud already set up, but not being recognized on my iPad

I have already set up iCloud on my iPad and have transferred documents to it via iCloud. However, I wanted to transfer a document from my iPad to my laptop, so I went to iCloud.com to do it. All I could get was the screen telling me to set up iCloud on this device. I checked my settings and I am logged in. I can't even figure out how to change my Apple ID on it at this point- it is grey and appears not able to be altered (not that I want to).
Why won't it recognize my iPad and what do I do?
Thanks!

I don't think so. Here's where things are sticky. I have 2 iTunes accounts and I finally figured out all of those issues. I have iCloud on my laptop with the Apple login with the email that is linked to my iTunes account that I use for everything. The other account I ignore and pretend doesn't exist, but that is what I had to link my iCloud email to for whatever reason. So, the iCloud on my iPad has my regular Apple ID, even though it is the reason I was able to get the iCloud email. Under mail, it has my new iCloud email. I don't recall turning documents in the cloud "ON." I know when I start Pages or pretty much any program on my laptop, it asks if I want to send anything to iCloud. I don't get that with the iPad and can't figure out how to get anything from my iPad to iCloud.
Are you as confused as I am???

Have 9530 Storm One but not getting emails....can send though

This is the 3rd or 4th Storm (One) I own. All been replaced due to problems plus, innumerable software replacements and reboots. The other day, I couldn't dial out. The keypad wasn't working. When I got a call, my keypad changed to unrecognizable characters and still didn't work.
Took my phone in to the local Verizon store in Covington, La. So many times I've been in I know their first names as well as they know mine. According to customer service rep, I needed to reload my software in again. Fun! He did. My phone worked. I lost all of my apps but can reload those (a pain) BUT......
Now I cannot receive emails. I took it back in a couple of days later and the tech spent a lot of time on my phone. He tried calling Verizon customer service himself, NO LUCK. They told him to hold for data services......WAITED 30 MINUTES to talk to someone!
That genius says...."Oh, Blackberry's service is down" Told me to "wait a bit. The service will be back.....have a nice day....next"
Oh really?. Ok, I'll bite. But I went on Facebook and asked all of my friends if they were receiving BBerry services and they were.
I've sent out my service books, as prescribed somewhere here online as a cure, but no luck. I re-entered all of my log-in info again. No Luck. I deleted and re-entered my email and log ins......yep...no luck.
A week later.....still not receiving emails. I CAN SEND THOUGH. I am out of communication with my customers.
Anyone have an idea?

Hey,
You have already done a few things that I was going to suggest. However, I found this article that might help. It is at http://kb.iu.edu/data/aona.html Let me know what happens.

How do I use the same apple id for 2 iPads, but not share email, phone #, etc.?

I have had 2 iPads for a couple years, both using the same apple id. One is used primarily by my husband. Today I got notifications that my husband's ipad is now using all the same email addresses and phone number associated with mine. How do I change this?

You can set the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Stores, but have different Apple ID's for Messages, iCloud and Facetime.
Settings->iCloud->Apple ID->Sign Out
Settings->Facetime->Apple ID->Sign Out
Settings->Messages->Send & Receive->Apple ID->Sign Out
Just go into Settings, and make sure the Apple ID set for those services is different for both iPads.

I can not get email password recovery so i cant active my iphone 5s

i worte my email in apple site so i can reset my paswoord buti dont get email to reset it

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com. Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE: This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address. Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466, and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

Can send but not retrieve emails using Thunderbird and Windows 8.1

Hi, I am not able to get Thunderbird to retrieve emails on a new laptop.
Last week I purchased a new laptop due to an imminent hard disk failure on my old laptop. I will call them "Old" and "New" laptops. (Old laptop is still working for the moment...)
The Old laptop is nearly 3 years old, and I have been using Thunderbird on it since new without any problems.
I have downloaded and installed Thunderbird on the New laptop, and can not get it to retrieve emails.
As the Old laptop is still working (at the moment), I am able to directly visually compare and check settings on both computers.
THE PROBLEM
Using Thunderbird on the New laptop, I am able to send emails, I can see all my old emails restored from the Old laptop using Mozbackup, but clicking Get Mail on the New laptop does not retrieve new
emails.
When I click Get Mail, the status message in the bottom left corner says "connected to .....<ISP>..." but does not actually get the emails. However, the Old laptop is still able to get emails as it always has.
My ISP is a large Australian telco that I have used for many years and I have not changed anything with my account. The ISP is POP3.
WHAT HAVE I TRIED
I deleted the email account created by restoring from Mozbackup, and attempted using the Thunderbird new account wizard, however Thunderbird did not recognise my ISP and would not create the account - even though it is working perfectly at the same time on the Old laptop.
All Firewalls I can find have been configured to allow Thunderbird, with the same configuration settings on both machines.
How do I know I can send but not Get emails from Thunderbird on the New laptop?
I have sent test emails to myself from the New laptop. Thunderbird sends successfully, I am able to preview the test emails via Mailwasher on the New laptop, and can read, reply, etc, to the emails if I log into my ISP webmail service. However I can NOT get Thunderbird to retrieve and download these emails on the New laptop. If I go to the Old laptop, Thunderbird works perfectly, retrieves and downloads all new emails, including these test emails.
I am now at the point where I do not know what else to try and would appreciate any suggestions.....
I have spent many hours over the last 3 days surfing the net, forums, Mozilla Support, etc, and tried everything suggested, without success. The only thing I have NOT tried is starting windows in Safe mode (as per some suggestions), as it is not a viable long term solution.
OTHER INFO
Computer Details;-
"Old" laptop;-
Windows 7 Home Premium - continuously updated with all Critical and Important updates. 64 bit version.
Antivirus = Bitdefender Total Security (subscription and licensed). Up to date.
MailwasherPro 2012 (subscription and licensed). Up to date.
Thunderbird 24.5.0 working perfectly. Up to date.
"New" laptop;-
Windows 8.1 - up to date with all Critical and Important updates. 64 bit version.
Antivirus = Bitdefender Total Security (subscription and licensed) - downloaded and installed. Up to date.
MailwasherPro 2012 (subscription and licensed) - downloaded and installed. Up to date.
Thunderbird 24.5.0 - downloaded and installed.
Note: I 'downloaded and installed' the Windows 8.1 version of these programs to avoid any potential compatibility problems restoring or copying from a Windows 7 backup version of the programs.
1) New laptop came with pre-installed with McAfee - which has been Uninstalled due to running Bitdefender (Windows searches for 'McAfee' return nothing found suggesting the Uninstall was successful).
2) Thunderbird has been added to both Bitdefender and Windows 8.1 firewalls on the New laptop.
3) Bitdefender and Windows security settings are identical on both laptops - as near as I can determine, I may be missing something - but have checked all settings 3 times by doing a side-by-side visual comparison.
4) Thunderbird settings are also identical and I am using the same email address and ISP that I have been using for many years.
5) I migrated Thunderbird settings, accounts and emails from the Old laptop to the New laptop using Mozbackup, then visually checked and compared all settings in Thunderbird between the two machines.
6) For info, I have used Mailwasher for many years as a simple way to preview and wash mail before running email programs such as Thunderbird - might be overkill, but I have also never had a virus or malware problem, so will keep doing this.
7) I have Uninstalled and re-installed Thunderbird on the New laptop twice, and done the same with Bitdefender once.
8) Any config changes I try on the New laptop, I either restart Thunderbird and / or restart the New laptop, or both.
9) I have not created a Windows 8.1 account and am not using SkyDrive.
10) Only other software I have installed on the New laptop is Google Chrome, Office Home 2013 and iTunes - all are working.
Thanks in advance....

Well there is not much left. If telnet works then the path is clear and there is no hardware firewall blocking ports.
All that is left is software, so try windows safe mode with networking. A very handy way to eliminate software. it also actually disables most anti virus resident features and is preferred here because anti virus/security programs do not always disable or turn off when they say they have.
You might also try the McAfee removal tool. https://community.mcafee.com/thread/52788 I notice the rep said yes to both, they did not say not required.
Finally you could try creating a new profile, and see if it works just to exclude corruption of your existing profile. ( I doubt it but I am at the anything goes point)
Just as an aside, I have never had an email borne nasty and I for many years never even had an email virus scanner. So yes I think your a bit over cautious with mailwasher, if that is what your using it for. Thunderbird does not support scripting languages or flash, or most plugins in the email sandbox. The result is getting a virus from a mail in Thunderbird is really only possible, for all practical purposes, if you open that password protected zip from the young Russian woman and that is what the anti virus should be blocking anyway when the temp file is written.

Hi,
Yes you can contact Apple UK at daytime, for free, in the Chat.
Just go to the iPad page, then press buy now in the upper right corner, and then in the upper right corner you will see the phone number, and next to it,(only at daytime) you will see a button, writing something like contact else, I don't really know what is the exact label, but it works.
Good luck

I've twice tried to use iTunes match. It stalls in step 2. I've rebooted my Mac computer and still stalls. Apple's taken the $25 but not delivered the service. Can I get some personal help?

I've twice tried to use iTunes match. It stalls in step 2. I've rebooted my iMac computer and it still stalls. Apple's taken the $25 but not delivered the service. Can I get some personal help? There are 12,733 songs, a few dozen of which are not going to be in the Apple music library because they are unique to my collection. Also, some titled "Track XX" and no artist. I assume these would either not upload or else just be uploaded. But, after an overnight of step 2, the iTunes match program was still on song number 7384 or 12733 (it was on that number for over 12 hours). Looking in the music library, activating the iCloud icon and status fields, there were hundreds of songs with the status "waiting."

After taking my late 2009 15 inch macbook pro to the apple store, the genius completely erased my computer and reinstalled the Mac OS X software, but the problem still persists.
I also took it to my college tech support center, they tried to take the ram out and reinsert it and clean up the dust, but the problem still remains.
I am able to use my computer in Safeboot mode (only)
Well it could still be a software problem if you installed a third party program after the OS X wipe and install, because by booting into Safe Mode it disables certain functions of OS X and hardware. Check for updates or problems for all your third party software, include everything, including menulets, System Preference panes, hacks and so forth.
If you restored any sort of software from backup like TimeMachine, it likely was corrupted data and now is returned.
If the college tech support found a lot of dust clogging the rear exhaust vents behind the fans, then likely the heat damage done to the machine has already occured and can't be reversed. Video cards are usually first to go, which Safe Mode does disable the video card somewhat.
Run through this list of fixes, it's systematic in nature, also has a Hardware Test to see what's going on

Too bad this is occurring to a mere 4 year old machine, but dust will do that. Here is the culprit that Apple doesn't tell anyone about.

Oh, don't worry. I know exactly. I'm a retired law enforcement officer after 30 years. I didn't mean for them to allow you to use the Internet, I meant for them to assign an officer to try and track the device for the victim. Again, that would require the victim to provide their Apple ID and password, which most would not want to provide.
Pinging the phone as you mention is only when there is probable cause and that is done through the carrier.
I'm glad to see someone also understand that a stolen cell phone is not as important to law enforcement as it is to the victim. It is unfortunate as smartphones get more expensive. Hopefully as iOS 7 makes it debut later this year, the work Apple has done will have some impact on smartphone theft. Other manufactures and carriers are starting to improve here in the states. It never was something carriers worryed about with blacklisting. This is where they were a step ahead in Europe.

It sounds like this iPad was purchased second hand. If so, you will need to contact the original owner, otherwise your iPad will remain Activation Locked.
