Can no longer access hotmail account since hacked

My hotmail account seems to have been hacked - sending spam to all in my contacts. Although I ve been able to reset my password and can now access the account from another device, I can't from my playbook. It doesn't recognise my address/password ( old or new) and after turning the device off and on again, has lost most of my contacts. I've tried removing my email account details and re-installing to no avail. Can anyone help pls?

You said that you removed the account and then re-added it. Have you rebootd the device before re-aading the account, if you have not done so, it is then worth a try

  • Apple changed my Apple ID to the email address associated with my iTunes account. I now can no longer access my account because the old user name is no longer valid and has no password. I have been on the phone with tech support for hours trying to fix.

  • Can no longer access epub books since iOS update

    Until recently I had a number of books and PDFs installed on my iPad that I accessed through iBooks.  During a recent iOS upgrade ALL of them were removed from my iPad, but were still available on iTunes.  I have been able to move all of the PDFs back to the iPad, but am having no luck with the books.  These are all epub books that I downloaded through iTunes. 
    Any suggestions on 1) why this may have happened and 2) how I can 'recover' these books?

    Shortly after posting this question I found the solution (http://ow.ly/jnab1).  Still not sure why these were all cleared off the iPad when the iOS was upgraded.  They survived a number of previous upgrades.

  • I can no longer access my music since the last upgrade.

    can you help me access my music on my iPad.  it says I have no songs but I have more tha 600.

    According to your system details, you are using an extremely out-dated version of Firefox.<br>
    Your version is too old to run the new Google products because the technology has advanced too much.
    Please update your browser to the most recent version.

  • Can no longer access hotmail via Mail on Mac Pro

    I have set up Mail on my Pro OSX 10.6.8 long ago with my POP server password. Now it will not fetch mail, asking for my password. I reenter the correct password, but it still will not work. It again asks for my password. Reboot did not cure the problem.
    What gives?

    There is a mail configuration wizard to help test and setup your settings

  • Can no longer access Hotmail using browser after B...

    On my N8 after the update, using the default browser just comes up with the message:
    Unable to load page
    The website is in WML format, which is not supported.
    Worked fine before any solution apart from using Opera?

    @sgv_6618
    We would advise you to contact Microsoft on this issue, as it is their server which is force-redirecting the mobile browser to (now unsupported) WML page. However, it is likely that this issue will be resolved in their end as they seem to be updating their email service and encouraging users to switch to Outlook with an increasing push. 
    Wireless Markup Language is more or less a relic nowadays and seldom used, this is because most mobile browsers support full XHTML and even standard HTML5 + Javascript. For more info on WML, please see here.

    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple recommends, "You always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store," (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).
    You will be using your original AppleID and password.  that works for any computer you own now or in the future.  Do not make a new appleID.

  • When I began using Iphone 4, my email address was attached to our provider which was Everest (Surewest).  My Iphone still has that email address but I can no longer access that email account and I now cannot unlock my Iphone.  Does anyone know how ?

    When I purchased my I-phone 4 several years ago, our email service provider was Everest.  We no longer use Everest and I can no longer access that email address, but my I-phone is still attached to that email address, so I can not unlock this I-phone.  I have purchased a new I-phone and the same email address transferred to it when the information was transferred from my old phone to my new one.  In order to trade my old phone in for the new one, I must be able to unlock the old phone, which I have been unable to do since the old email address is not available to me.  Please help.

    Having the email address is not necessary. It is just the username for the device. All you need is that Apple ID and password. Now, if you forgotten the password, then you have more work to do. Since that email is no longer active, you would need to send the reset to your rescue email, if you remember that. Or you will need to contact Apple Security for help.

    Why would there be a fix?  YOU are having the problem.  I'm not, no one I know is having the problem.  No fix is needed.
    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  Have you been through any, if not all of these troubleshooting steps yet?

  • HT1918 How can I change my rescue email. I am trying to change my email for my Apple account because I can no longer access the email on the account. My only email I use is my rescue email and it will not allow me to change my Apple ID email to my rescue

    How can I change my rescue email or get rid of it? I need to change my email under my apple ID to the email that is my rescue email. It won't allow me to have the same email. I only have one email address and can no longer access the email address under my apple ID

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Once you have created a rescue address, you cannot delete it, nor can you change it to the same address as used by your ID. There are numerous providers you can get additional email addresses from, such as Hotmail, Yahoo, Google etc etc.

  • My hotmail account was hacked, so the mail that I use to sign in in itunes also, it's the same. But if I create a new account how can I transfer the money and the apps purchased to the new account ?

  • I can no longer access my Adobe account :S

    Hi,
    I something seems to have gone awry with my Adobe account (not this one) that all of my software / CC subs are registered to. I can no longer access it and when I try to recover the password for the email address that should be registered with it I get a "email address not recognised".
    Can anyone point me to the relevant person / people who can help that aren't the UK phone technical support? As I don't have 10 minutes to pick through the automated menus

    You may not like it, but you will have to call support. Or use the web chat.

  • I can no longer access my online banking account in firefox

    I can no longer access my online bank account in firefox, although I can in IE. I can get through the login ID and security question, but when I type in my password and click on login, it consistently tells me I have the wrong password. I have no trouble logging in with IE. I have deleted my history completely, deleted the sqlite files from my profile, and done everything else I can find in the support area with no results. I have been able to access this website for years in firefox, and all of a sudden today I cannot. I called the bank and they even reset my password and tested firefox on their end and said they have no problems with it. I have not installed any new addons. I disabled firefox preloader. Any suggestions?

    I see you are using LastPass. Could that add-on be interfering with your login?? You could try disabling it temporarily under Tools > Add-ons to test that theory.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.
