Apple id changed settings

I had a previous apple id that I used on an ipod, but all the security questions have been changed (perhaps when my young daughter had a go at updating it herself and now has no memory of any questions...).  Is there any way either: i) to cancel my old apple id (which the apps want in order to update and which is also the apple id I use for itunes); or ii) reset the old id using the e-mail alone?  I'd be happy just getting the old apps to work again on my ipod to be honest (I rarely use itunes), but I can't get past the requests for the old apple id.

Normally I would say that's because you restricted changes to accounts. Settings>General>Restrictions>Allow Changes>Accounts. If you disable changing accounts the Apple ID will be greyed out, but you said that you were able to change the ID for FaceTime and that shouldn't work either.
for the message about checking the network connection check Settings>General>Date and Time>Set automatically>On. Make sure the time zone is correct as well. Then try restarting the iPad and if you still get the message, reset the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Apple Mail changes settings after connecting to a GoDaddy server.

    I have set up an account in Apple Mail to connect with an email account on a GoDaddy dedicated server. When I set up the account as an IMAP account everything works perfectly for the first connection to the server.
    Immediately after the first connection to the server, I can no longer connect to the server via that Apple Mail account. Furthermore the settings in the account have changed. The incoming port is now 143 instead of 993 and the authentication is MD% instead of password.
    GoDaddy insists this is a problem with Apple Mail, though I don't have this problem with any of the other email accounts I have set up in Apple Mail that connect with other servers.
    My suspicion is that there is something about the way GoDaddy's server is handling SSL that causes Apple Mail to think that SSL is not working and reset the incoming port to 143, which is what it should be if SSL were not being used.
    Note, that the only way I can connect with the GoDaddy server is to delete the account and create a new one with the correct settings. Changing the settings in the altered account does not work.
    Thanks,

    Try going to Mail/Preferences/Accounts/Advanced and deselecting Automatically detect and maintain account settings. You will need to do this for each account.

  • My photos will not sync to my Apple TV (1st generation), ipad, iphone, or itouch. They used to be there but upon recent syncs with all devices they have all gone. I am totally baffled as I have not changed settings?

    My photos will not sync to my Apple TV (1st generation), ipad, iphone, or itouch. They used to be there but upon recent syncs with all devices they have all gone. I am totally baffled as I have not changed settings?

    I had the same thing happen to me.  It's a bug in iPhoto 9.4.2.
    The first time you run iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2, it "updates the iPhoto library".  This sometimes tickles a bug where iTunes can see all your iPhoto albums, but iTunes thinks they are empty.  Since iTunes thinks all your albums are empty, it dutifully deletes any photos from your synced iOS devices.
    It's easy to tell if this is the problem you are seeing.  Open iTunes and go to the photos sync panel for one of your iOS devices.  If you have multiple albums checked, but iTunes shows a total of 0 photos, then you have the problem.
    I spent an hour with an Apple Genius.  he couldn't find any mention of this problem in their internal support system.  His recomendation was to reinstall the operating the system.  I suspect that this won't solve it.
    The only solution I have found is to restore iPhoto 9.4.1 and the corresponding iPhoto library from your backups.
    I would refrain from upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2 until Apple has a fix for this issue.

  • HT3529 Will iMessage send messages to non Apple phones? If so, is it automatic or do I have to keep changing settings?

    Will iMessage send messages to non Apple phones? If so, is it automatic or do I have to keep changing settings?

    If the recipient does not have an iOS device (or Mac) with iMessage activated on it, then it will send as SMS or MMS as appropriate. You don't need to change any settings.
    The only time you'll run into an issue is sending to someone who used to have an iDevice and neglected to turn off iMessage when they got something else. They will have to address that so that you don't have to forcibly send messages as SMS/MMS.

  • Change email address / Apple ID in Settings iCloud?

    I had to change the email address for my Apple ID. So I did this on the Apple dedicated page. I deleted the old email address as it is not used more. I enabled the new email address which I will use instead. I deactivated mostly linked to my Apple ID on my iPhone. Like FaceTime, iMessage, and so on. Probably I forgot the "Find my iPhone". This now seems to cause me problems because I can not change the email address under Settings > iCloud ... on my iPhone. In this menu the email address / Apple ID is indicated at the top. But it can not be edited / edited?
    Every now and then my iPhone ask for the password to my old Apple ID ... and it does not work with that password. How can I solve this?
    How do I set up my new email address / Apple ID in Settings > iCloud?

    In the menu Settings> iCloud> Account - I can not change the email address. When I press the e-mail address I come to the Account menu. There the Apple ID field gray, can not be edited. The password can however be edited.

    Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
    Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
    If recovery does not work there's:

  • How do I remove my personal text msgs from appearing on my new iPad.  Rec for Christmas didn't realize texts appeared on iPad, changed settings, new ones didn't appear but old ones still on it.

    New iPad showing my iPhone texts, changed settings new texts stopped but old ones still appear on iPad .  It is a family iPad and don't want kids to see text from adults even g rated, glad they didn't see Christmas texts with present pictures and questions from relatives.

    As far as I know, deleting the messages on the iPad should not affect them on the iPad. I delete messages on one device and it doesn't affect the messages on the other device since they are stored locally on the device. And ... I am using my iPhone number as the contact address on both devices,
    You can create another ID for texting on the iPad, but it's not an absolute must. You just need to use your Apple ID email address, or any other working email address for that matter - as the contact at address on the iPad for texting. As long as you use the iPhone number on the phone and the email address on the iPad, texting paths shall never cross.
    this should be of some help.

  • Mail is changing settings in preferences!

    Lots of users are exposed to the Mail 3 bug (Leopard) where Mail is randomly changing settings in "Preferences"-"Account"-"Advanced" from "Password" to "APOP".
    (The visual effect of this bug for the average user is that Mail will promt you for a password-dialogue box, which of course is useless trying to enter, since the settings has been changed in the preferences)
    This is only in conjunction with certain Pop accounts and happens when Mail is connecting to the Pop-server (This happens most often the first time Mail connects after launch).
    The Pop accounts affected are (as far as I know) Verizon in USA, Demon in England and Glocalnet in Sweden.
    There are probably more Pop account-providers that are affected so I want as many reports as possible from people with this problem.
    Please, all of you with this problem, report this to Apple,
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/mail.html
    And please, reply frequently to this thread.
    I want this thread to be on top of the thread-list until Apple will fix this bug.

    This definitely is happening to me. I've had a Mac mini for only a month and have a dot MAC email account and my local dial-up ISP account.
    Had a number of issues setting these up and after re-doing them 3 or 4 times, finally got them both working. Three days later, the dot MAC stopped working because Mail was trying to log on with SSL. It had been working fine before this. When I turned the machine on in the morning and went online, I kept getting error messages from the dot MAC system.
    It's very annoying.
    How does Thunderbird for the MAC work? Maybe that is the solution to this one.

  • HT4528 My Apple ID changed on my iPhone

    My apple ID changed on my iPhone today.  Even though it says my original ID in my settings, it pops up as .me.com when I go to update Apps.  Please help!

    That is the same Apple ID. When you sign up for an Apple ID on an iOS or Mac OS device it gives you an alternative email address which is either @me.com or @icoud.com. But never the less it is all in the same account.

    Hi Nuch1,
    I found an article that is contains very thorough Mail troubleshooting steps:
    OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276
    You can use that article to figure out what part of the email "ecosystem" is the cause of the issue, and it can also help you attempt to resolve it.
    Hope that helps,

  • Where can one go to change settings on what if any Email will result from user forum interaction?

    With in house iPad, iTunes in Mac Pro Mt. Lion and in Windows 8 Bootcamped, I have started getting email notifications for my questions in Bootcamp, iPad etc. forums and also for any answers I have contributed to.
    While I think this would be useful for a user's question, to cut back on forum access to check for answers, I do not want email for answers, suggestions I have provided.
