Apple won't send me my forgotten passwords!

I just purchased a new Macbook and I am having trouble authorizing a lot of my purchased iTunes songs. I have used 3 different apple accounts to purchase iTunes songs, one of the e-mails was an @sbcglobal.net domain, which doesn't even work anymore, the other is an @verizon.net domain. I cannot remember my password for these accounts, so I cannot authorize the songs that I purchased with them. I clicked the "send password" option, but I never receive an email from Apple to my verizon account, and I can't recieve any emails on my sbcglobal account. Please help! There are a lot of songs that I can't authorize! Thanks

Mitch,

  • Now Mail Won't Send eMail (self imposed password)

    Apple's Mail has a known bug that it deletes your mail passwords sporadically. Now Mail has not only refused to pick up email while deleting the password, but has "deleted" the non existent password to send email.
    Before when Mail deleted the password I could put it in again (and again) until it caught and worked again. But there is no outgoing email password, the server does not require one. If I put it a password it doesn't work because it can't. Does anyone have experience with this problem. It did this the first time last week and it went away after a few hours. But I do need to send email for my business.
    Is there anything to do other than wait for it to go away again?
    Anyone care to recommend a commercial email program to replace Mail? I have a few thousand emails in a few dozen folders that I would like to import. Is there any?
    History, read this before asking any questions.
    Mail has for years sporadically deleted incoming pop account passwords. They are deleted in Mail. The copy of the password in Keychain is still there, but Mail will fail to pick up your mail and ignore Keychain. This has been posted many times in this forum. The problem occurs randomly and goes away after awhile, but will return. If one has several pop accounts on the same server, some, all, or none of the accounts will have this problem at any given time. When the dialog pops up requesting the password the best thing to do is click cancel. Mail takes the account off-line. After awhile click the icon to the right of the "inbox" and click the button "Take all accounts online." It will usually work again. Sometimes it will not work. Delete the Keychain entry and put in (the same) password the next time the dialog comes up, check the "save in keychain" box and click okay. Usually it will take in then. Not sure why, but if you put the password in the first time the dialog appears, it almost always fails. some users have surmised that Mail sees any delay in the mail server response as a failed password and this problem is more frequent with webmail accounts than email accounts.
    After ten years of OS X Mail use, and a year of off and on receiving problems, I have only this week started to have problems sending email. I have checked with my provider and there is nothing wrong with their servers and they have not suddenly changed the required Mail setup.

    I blocked out my local IP address, it is correct though.
    The last READ from the server does not contain any error that I can see, but I don't know what one would look like. At this point the dialog is up requesting a password.

    Apple's Mail has a known bug that it deletes your mail passwords sporadically.
    Sounds awfully definitive. Has Apple verified this for you?
    I will, from time to time, be prompted for a password. I cancel and try again five minutes later. 90% of the time, it works fine the second time. The other 10% of the time, I have to wait for an indeterminate amount of time, sometimes several hours. This indicates, to me, that there was a problem contacting the server. I used to see similar behavior with Eudora years ago before I switched to Mail.
    I never have to actually re-enter the password. At no time have my passwords been deleted.
    None of this answers your questions, but hey... you come on here and cry "bug" and you're going to get challenged if others aren't seeing a bug.

  • Iphone 4s won't send email, says username/password is incorrect

    using googlemail on my imac and synced via itunes. This worked perfectly on my old iphone 3 but won't allow me to send any emails from the new one. I'm still receiving email so the password must be correct. Not sure what to do now? anyone help?

    Is wifi connected and working. Are you signed out on other mobile devices and outlook etc. You can be locked out when signed in toomany places atonce. Sometimes you need to sign into your email account from a laptop or desktop computer. This will not work on mobile device. You will need to make sure there are not pop boxes, security info required, etc. Obviously this tests password too. After trying to enter manually as mentioned above, go to Settings>Mail Contacts Calendars>Tap on any accounts saved that are not working or used anymore and delete them. If that doesn't resolve delete the "previously working" account and add account again. 

  • Apple won't send me the e-mail to reset security questions, please help me.

    When the security questions first showed up, I didn't know them. I did the reset questions link, and visited my rescue e-mail. Didn't show up. The next day, I re-checked and kept re-sending it day after day. It has been three weeks and I still have not gotten it. Is there a way to check my rescue email is correct, or is it that I have another issue. Please respond. Thank you.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

  • Tried to share a picture from iPhoto and it won't send .message says wrong password

    I tried to send an iphoto to an email address. I have done it before, even today to another email  address and it worked.
    Today it refused to go out.
    Says my password did not match my e-mail address.
    When I tried to do it again I get the same message. It does not let me try another password.

    That's been a frequent problem. Go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the email account that is being used by iPhoto. Then add it back and try again.
    A better solution, IMO, is to set Mail as the email client for iPhoto in iPhoto's General preferendce pane. Using Mail gives you sent copies of all emails, better access to your Contacts and, if you you want a fancy layout like iPhoto offers, you can us one of Mails many stationary templates.

  • Forgotten password for old email account(iTunes user id)

    The iTunes account I have on my iPhone is an old account with a password no one can seem to remember, so I finally decided to create a new account on my computer. I can download things just fine with my new account on my computer. I synced my iPhone with my computer thinking it would recognize my new account, but it's still asking me for my old account's password, which I don't remember. I can't ask it to send me my forgotten password because I don't have that email account any more (which is my user id on my iPhone). Any suggestions?

    finally decided to create a new account on my computer
    I would recommend sticking with one account and not using a new account.
    Update the info in the account with your new info.
    it's still asking me for my old account's password, which I don't remember

  • I changed the password for my Apple ID and now my iPhone won't send my texts

    I changed the password for my Apple ID and now my iPhone won't send out my texts....says they are undeliverable unless I send them out manually as texts.

    Hi sbiermann,
    If you have recently changed the password on your Apple ID account, you may need to manually sign out and sign back in to your Apple ID on your device for the change to take effect. You may find the following article helpful:

  • 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.

    Wont/Unable as in you were not able to verify information?
    Basicly the only way Account Security is not able to reset your security questions is because
    1 - You do not remember your password
    2 - You were unable to verify any information which is required
    If you do not remember your password - until your password is either remembered or reset - will not be able to reset questions via Support
    If you know your password - then if you are unable to verify any information regarding your account your questions will not be reset.
    I apologize - If the information above is not the case try calling back in.
